RETURNED.-The young lady of North
crn birth, upon whom has devolved the la
borious duty of Illuminating the African
mind and reforming the crude lives of the
freedmen of this vicinity, after Il protracted
absence spent at the home of her childhood,
New England, has returned to her charge,
thus disproving the malicious report that she
had abscundcd with toHr hUmcire9 dollars en-
trusted to her keeping for the advancement
of education in our midst In behalf Of this
lady we stated two weeks ago that We did
not credit the report, aud we now take occa-
sion to say that We are glad, on account Of
the disconsolate freedmen, who mourned her
as one who had '.gone glimmcring,' that she
has once again planted her pous feet upon
our hospitable soil, where she has doubtless
met with warm reception from the represen
tativcs of that color which is her peculiar
pride. We think it little uncharitable that
those who come among us as missionaries to
smoothe our heathcnish natures, ard to in
struct US after the New England plan of mor>
al progress, cannot visit their homes during
the pumkin- pie season, without laying them
selves under the disagreeablc suspicion that
they have gone off with the funds Of the I'M
tutored black. Let us remember what Paul
says about charity and make these self, deny
ing pilgrims from Puritania the subjects Of
just such charity as Paul recommends.

Bee Hives,
THE undersigned having purchased the right and
L entire and complete control of
LiNGSTROTH'S PATENT BEE HIVES.


LANGSTR0TH'S PATENT BEE HIVES,
for the county of Jefferson, prepared furnish
said Hives, made in the best manner of seasoned
material with recent improvements, to all who may
want them. For their merit nd great superiority
any and all other hives refer to any and all
persons who have them in usc of whom there
many in this vicinity. We can vouch for over three
hundred pounds of pure virgin Honey having been
taken from three of these Hives in 1865, besides
leaving an abundant supply for the winter of
the bees in the lower or breeding dcpa rtmeut.
AS there are some persons in this county who have
these lives in who have papers show their
authority for using them, hereby notify them
that we will place our claims for their use. with
damages, in the hands of a Lawyer for settlement
in the United States Court, if they disregard this
notice by not obtaining the proper authority from
US. We have paid our money for this right, and
do intend that it shall be used by any with
out authority and payment OF the patent lee. There
is but side to this question before the United
States Courts, where the costs very heavy, in
dependent of damages. As we are reluctant (though
detcrmined) TO take this course, hope
will disregard this notice. This patent has been
extended for seven years from the 5th Of October,
1866. Wealso caution all persons (not authorized)
against manufacturing said Hives in tins county.
We have ordered some of Langstroth's work
on the Honey Bee, and expect to have them
for sale. KEARSLEY & SHEERER.

EDrroR HERA ALD:-Glad are the hearts Of
our husbandmen-for rain has come at last;
men awoke up rejoicing and went to bed
with hearts owe, flowing with joy. Next day
tools were in readiness, and before Hoon every
farmer was busy in the field. 1t is almost
too dry to pow, but the culiva,or cuts
through old ground beautifully. 1t is claim
cd by some that the coming harvest will yield
scanty wheat crop, but see no reason to
fear for as they claim that farmers will not
SOW on account Of the drynsss Of the winter;
but our farmers do not fear the weather, as
they prove by their sxerlions to put in as large
crop as possible. Last year was an excel
lent one for blowing even at very late
period, and consequently We have = large
amount Of summer faIIow, already sowsd-
most of it with wheat.
A weaver, out Of work, came in town
few days ago, and friend Of mine offered
to 60 to the Marysvils Woolsn Mills and Try
to find him job. He found that white Ia
Dor was at a discount in that institution
nothing but Cinnamon were employed. They
had discharged two white men the day before
and filled their places with Cinnamon. This
is really model institution, fit sample of
Republican enterprise. NLoCNlL.

In ADvANcE.-As this is the fttieth
Christmas day we have witnessed, though
but 40 years DID, having been horn the 25th
day of Dec. 1919, and for that reason, hav'
ing an additional incentive for observing the
day, and desiring also, that all hands in the
office should enjoy the day, as holiday, we
issue the HERALD one day in advance this
week. Christmas is sacred day, observed
throughout the Christian world as the birth
day Of the Savior OF mankind, and from
which the Christian Era dates 1t is "a mel
ancholy fact that large majority of the
people Of the Christian world celebrate the
day in a spirit foreign to its true intent, and
10 mode actually sinful and revolving to
the true spirit and teachings Of the Saviour
while upon earth. God once looked down
on mankind and said. There is none good.
no not one" Is it not even so now!

DEATH OF F. w. HENN.-It will be recol-
lected that on The 4th of July last Mr.. Helm,
who was buried here on Monday last, met
with terrible acc dent which was ultimately
the cause of bis death. He bad purchased a
new wagon, and when attempting to drive it
into the barn, and while looking back to see
if the wheels would clear the sides, was
caught between the upper frame work OF the
door and the seat upon which be was sitting,
and was crushed back wards over the seat,
while tho horses were 10 motion, and fatally
injured. 1t seems that he had forgotten, for
the moment, that the new wagon was much
higher than the one he had been accustomed
to driving into the barn. The spine was iu.
turned and the whole lower portion Of his
body became paraIyzed, and thus he has lain
and suffered, for over five months, until death
al. last eusued. lie was attended at bis
ranch, near Nemcast|e, for some weeks, after
which be was removed to the County Hos
pi!al as private patient, and cared for until
bis death. Mr.. Hem was an old and repect.
ed citizen Of Placer, having resided at Gold
Hill, where be was engaged 10 the butcher
ing business, some ten or eleven years ago,
and from thence removed to the vicinity of
Newcastle where he resided until the fatal
accident. Mr.. Hsnn was constable Of Town
ship No. O. when inj ured, to which be had
been elected in the fall of 1867.

Fun AHEAD.--Whsu boy wants to fight
another, be puts chip on his hat, marches
up to the other boy and says: KNOCK that
chip off if you dare" This reminds us Of a
little occurrence which took place in the
United States Senate few days ago. Sum
nar had introduced some diaboical, pusil
luminous resolutions, looking to farther igno
minous reconstruction measures, which
were referred to the judiciary Committee
Of which Trumbull is chairman. Trumbnll
who was once Democrat, aud is of little
better blood, and more honorable principles
than the Sumner stock, reported back the
resolutions, and recommended their indef-
mite postponement-a harsh and unusual pro.
cesdlng, under the circumstances, in parlia
mentary courtesy. In effect saying: "Knock
that chip off if you dare" Here is cold
blooded, deliberate, malice aforeth ought
snub, Mr. Sumner, and what are you going
to do abou. it? This is large sized straw,
and serves to show which way the wind is
blowing. The country should rejoice in
anything that will break, up aud scatter this
theving, fanatical crew that is driving the
country to destruction.
