Sad Case of DrOWnin 6.

We are sorry to learn that ROBERT, son Of
Mr. Israel 3. Burner was drowned while at
tempting to cross the South River, on the 22d
inst. al the ford near his fathers residence
about one mile West of Milford Page county.
In company with an older brother, this unfor-
tunate youth, who is probably sixteen years of
age, was going to the opposite side of the riv-
er to work, on horseback and when near the
middle of the river, which was swollen consid-
erabiy, RoBERTs horse stumbled and fell
throwing him off. He attempted to swim TO the
shore, but was borne down by the rapidly of
the current until entirely exhausted, and he
went under to rise no more. His brother made
and effort to save him, but failed. We under
stand that the oody Of the drowned boy was
found on Sunday last, not far from the ford
where he was drowned.

All About a Hat!

All About Hat!
The Senior Editor of this paper was seen
boldly and. defantly walking up the main
street of Woodstock, the other day, with a
BRAN NEW HAT on--none of your common,
vulgar hats-but a hat in the tip of the Fash
iona genuine calendar Hat"-.just such a
hat as best becomes an unreconstructed, dis
franchised, incorigible rebel editor, whose
whole life has been spent in defending the
rights of the people from the encroaeh-
ments of abolitionism, radicalisn, and all other
puritancal diabolisms' He was stared at by
the children looked upon with suspicion by
curious people generally, and aecosted by per-
picked friends with the question: 'swhere did
you get that hate" For the information of all,
let ii be known that the Senior came honestly
by ssthat hat" that he candidly confesses he did
not buy it, and indignantly denies that he stole
it, Then, in the name of allthe ''little gods and
fishes,' achere did he get it we will explain !:
Some two or three months ago the Senior I'M
travelled the mystery connected with the sud-
den disappearance of our red headed friend OF
the firm of CLOVER & COLEMAN, and out of
gratitude to him for his praiseworthy efforts
in that affair, the firm aforesaid presented him
with tn aforementioned hat
By the way, while we think of it, we under
stand Sam has lust returned from Baltimore
with whole box of hats, and such a lot of
new goods as never were beat anywhere about
here. Let those who doubt it go and see for
themselves. Next week they will issue proc
lamation confirming what we have said.

No Health Without Vigor.

The wear and tear life tells upon US all moro

principle is the motive power that keeps the hui

so do organs, muscles, tissues and all the com

The mechanism of the body requires to be re-

The Fruit of Exaggeration.

If there is any rank sin in national calendar
that needs pruning down, it is our almost universal
practice of exaggeraton 1t to be contrary to
our imaginative temperament to view anything with the
prosac eyes of fact that nothing extenuae." It may
be very pleasing to magnify avail and clothe what
we really do possess with the decetfu habments of
exaggeration but these things yield their bitter
fruits in the end Take our Organization instance
of desire to multiply what have by hundred
and deceive ourselves as we'll as the world at large
into the belief that, by doing really create the
multiplied forces, and have bitter fact that exag
geration is the fruitful mother of disasters Our Fenian
readers will remember how we were led to believe at
this side of the water that previous to sixtyve there
were two hundred thousand in the Organization at
home thirty thousand of these armed with rifles and
fifty thousand with pixies. About the pixies did not
care much but with thirty thousand armed men in
Ireland, with the army dsaected to large degree
was and the officers from the battlefelds of America
to lead the partly drilled people against the enemy there
could be such revolution naugurated in Ireland as
would shake the British empire to its foundations
On the other hand the Organization in Ireland was
led to believe that fleets of ironclads and arms and
munton al innituo in the hands of the leaders
here and would be in Ireland at the proper time This
eraggeratio could not go forever The time for the
fight SET the officers sent to Ireland and found
out that the Organization far as numbers and spirit
all that could be expected but there were not TWO
thousand rifles in all Ireland in the hands Of the Brother
hood The two Organizations brought face face
and found out that each had exaggerated the strength
