A DEAD SHor-Gov German, of Minnesota,
is ex-officio Indian agent for the Minnesota In
dians. At a recent council with the Chippe-
was he threatened any of them who might be
found drunk, with the loss of their annuities,
and said that what was thus forfeited should
be divided equally among the sober ones. Hole
in-the-dark, a distinguished orator, remarked
in reply that it was just, but that the same rule
ought to beapp!ied to the agent, WHO'S a great
man, and had great annuity. 1t ought to be
taken from him and divided, like the others, for
he got drunk very often.
The point of that joke can only be fully ap-
preciated by those who personally know the
hon. Willis A. If fHole-in- the dark did not make
hole in Gorman's shirt, that time, we don't
know what old Greene county whiskey is that's
all. Chicago Tribune.

DIED,


On Saturday morning last, (Feb. 250Mts'
HESTER, wife of Mr.. John Baldwin oil
Bern ,ownship.
The sudden announcement Of the death
of this estimsble lady has given surprise q
grief to many outside of the near circle OF
her connections. Three or four years since
she came to reside amongst us; and though
so much engaged her domestic duties that
she mingled less than many sihers in gen.
eral society, yet her amiable anu Pious sPir-
it had won the affection Of many friends.
"None knew her but to love her
None named her but to praise"
Her decease was entirely unexpected I'M
Ill a short time before il occurred and she
was already dtlirious. But we judge by the
christian virtues of her lie that for this sud
den change, she as yet prepared. Her
loss was her unspeakable gain.
Mrs. Baldwin was educated in tho bosom
Of tn, Presbyterian rhurch,has been a men,
Der thereof for some years, and was warmly
attached to the doctrines and order. Her
father, Me-. John McLain, has for many
years bean a Ruling Elder in the church al
Chillicothe and from that church she came
to the church at Lancaster in $780,.
She was in the 35th year OF her age and
has left three children under six years ofage
TO mourn their irreparable loss.--CoM.

GAztrrE OrfIcs, March 2.--ou5 readers
will be glad to learn thai no charge in the
market has taken place since our last quo
%tat.ons. The recent fan Of prices in Eng
land, Is doubtless owing to the complste
eessation Of the re export demand In that
c~ountry, and to the fact that countries
which lately drew their supplies from that
market ore now over.stoeked, and actually
Offering their purchases for resale. This,
b however, Is not likely to be Of Ion. durstiSa.
Home consumption eahn0t abate. as there
are no cheap substitutes. Potatoes and oa,-
meal are quite as dear relatively az -four
and Indian corn is said 70 be very scarce.
Prices may be expected 10 remain weak so
long as it will require to consume what the
millers and bakers bought early in January
We learn that the shipments from France
to England have been confined to American
-four and Odessa wheat, as French products
are prohibited to be exported.
we notice that our farming friends do no
agree with our remarks of week before last
that the winter had been favorable for th'
new crop. Up to that time our observation
had been limited to a few fields, and judg
ling from these and the d%ryness c. the fore
part OF the season, we were lead to b:Iiey,
that the new crop had received root enougI
to enable i to stand the severity Of the lat
ter part Of the season. We learn, however
that we were mistaken, and that the winter
50 far, has been unusually hard.

THE FATE OF GESlUs.-Who that has

Hoffman, will not be panied to learn that
this once gifted child of genius, and popular
American author, is nov an inmate Of the
Pennsylvania State Lunutic Asylum near
Harrisburg-a pitible case Of incurab|c in
sanity! Mr.. Hoffman was brought here
some six weeks since from one OF the Mary
land Institutions. Although at times he APP
pears dfeadrully excited, yet a ray of reason
will momentariiy fit through his shattered
intellect, and, as the eloquent language oil
a gifted soul falls from his lips and reaches
the ear ofthe awe-stricken visitor, a tear oi
sympathy will voluntarily gather in his eye
for the fate Of the unfortunate naniae!-
