@ The Gosport, Ind, Independent


narrates as follows:
A bashful and rather green young
fellow invited a young lady to attend
a ball with him one night last summer
The invitation was accepted, and the
couple appeared at the ball. After
dancing for some time "greeny" saw
his partner sitting in one corner of the
room all alone. Now was his chance,
so he walked up to where the lady was
sitting and sat down beside her. All
well so far; but the bashful fellow was
at a loss for something to say. He
fdgeted about considerably, and was
sweating profusely. Finally, taking
hold of his wilted collar, he COM
menced the conversation thus:
at is powerful warm in this room.
My shirts wet, amt yours?"
His partner blushed, said nothing,
but took his arm for the next dance.

"Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How | wonder what you are:"
Gapfla Iaecia-fo forhaar

Behold a voice comes from mountain
fastnesses, and salt furnaces of West
Va, the incipient clergy has presented
US with Biblical view of the whole
case--we "agitate," /" incite rigid school
marms to action, and revolutionize the
school interests of Gallia.
How the unbidden tear steals down
his cheek at the remembrance of his
childhood's sports. How his heart
softens, his eye becomes bedewed,
when he recalls the happy times. that
picnics were held upon the rocky banks
of the "narrows, and his "School
Marin" generously gave him an entire
cake. How well she knew his throat
was the avenue to his affections, the
pathway to pure pleasure. All, yes,
he cherishes her memory. But don't
understand me to insinuate that she
ever kissed the little Adonis; nay
verify.
&c. P" also says, ''woman has long
ago proved herself the intellectual
equal of man." He did not say this
for us to believe, for he does not be-
lieve it himself. He may refer to Mrs.
Wilson as the authoress of "The Boy
and Butterfly" to Miss Gould as the
writer of the "Pee, dee, dee," winter
king, or to Elizabeth Cady Stanton as
advocates of "Woman's Rights, but
larger lights must be shown from the
masthead before the world will become
subjects to this doctrine, or subscribe
to its truth.
My charitable friend "Lotta" must
not be passed in silence. She has my
thanks for services so opportnnely rem
dered. Her "Plea for Glenn" has all
the "tender ierceness of the dove"
and must awaken sympathy in the OBJ
durate heart She has mind beyond
her sex, and her extensive and accu-
rate statistics of Boston schools, teach
ers in the United States, &c., is quite
enough to stamp her name with immor-
tality. My defective education does
not suit her, neither is she pleased with
my ungainly person. I admire her
suavity of manners, and envy her at
tainments. She is as cunning as
Sybil, and adroit as juggler.

Lovers StrucR by Lightning-An Eng
Ifsh Country Tragedy.


Ifsh Country Tragedy.
\ melancholy interest surrounds the
details respecting the deaths of Thomas
Hardaker and Emma Carrick, the two
lovers who were struck dead by light
ming on Sunday night. in the foot path
leading from Stanningley to Parsley. 1t
appears that the couple had both been
Sunday school teachers at Saint James
Church, Stanningley, and had kept/co
pary two or three years, the young wo-
man being employed as weaver. and the
young man travelling about the country
with his brother, James Hardaker, in
charge OF toy and fancy bazaar Last
week, being Parsley featt, the bazaar
was pitched there, and Thomas Hardaker
awaited himself of the opportunity to pay
his sweet heart, Emma Carrick. occas-
ional visits.
The bazaar was got ready on Saturday
night for removal to Holbeck at six on
Monday morning; and, as the couple
were to be married in November, they
were anxious to be together as much
as possible before parting. In the
afternoon they took tea at her father
house, and in the evening were at Ears
ley. They appear to have been on their
way to the young woman's home at Stan
!, ningley when the calamity occurred.
They took the path across the fields,
and were last seen alive in conversation
an a g snickett," narrow road between
two walls terminating the foot-path in the
direction of Stanningley. They appear
to have retraced their steps to Parsley,
and to have stood for shelter in the shad-
ow of the wall, on the foot path leading
to Mr. Butiers path. close to the field
path, and near to stile road, which was
protected by an iron railing On the
south side of the wall is plantation of
young trees, and some fifty yards further
on, on the north side, are other iron rail-
lngs, the unfortunate pair standing be-
tween the iron stile and palisading to the
westward
The storm came from the westward,
and it is SUPP osed that the electric fluid
attracted by the mass of iron, swept on
ward to that guarding the stile road, and
on its way struck down the. lovers, as
they were found lying apart few yards
from the wall, the young man stretched
on his back, aud his unfortunate partner
on her face, her umbrella or parasol lying
under her body
The only mark of the action of the
lightning on the bodies of the unhappy
pair was to be seen in their faces, which
were SCARED and burnt about the fore
head and nose. Hardaker's right boot
was ripped up, small hole was burnt in
his purse, and two or three other holes in
his shirt, and his money-gold, silver
and copper-was partially melted, two
shilling pieces being fused together; but
rather singularly, the young woman's
purse and its contents were untouched.
When the bodies were washed and laid
out they appeared to be only asleep, the
young lady's countenance having pleas
ing expression, and the color remained
sometime in her cheeks.-Loneloa Times

ADVERTISEMENTS

TIME simplicity and practicability of this new
Il Plow commends it favorably to the special
notice of every farmer. 1t possesses decided
superiority all other plows now in use. The
wheels are four feet in diameter, and run on the
unplowed land. Its entire construction is in no
way complicated. The plow is managed in every
manner with ease, and requires only two levers
to be used in making any alteration. The supe-
riority of the "Gay' Plow will be clearly shown
by the following certificate:
We, the undersigned, citizens of Linn county,
oregon, having purchased and used upon our
farms the "Gay'' Plow, hereby certify that the
same has given entire satisfaction Its facility
for adju=ting to suit the depth of furrow without
moving from the seat, is simple and easy. We
like the pillow for its draught, because the same is
brought to bear directly upon the plow-beam in
stead of the carriage also, because it is strong
and durable, all except the woodwork being con-
structed of wrought iron-no castings are used.
The wheels running upon the solid lnnd is an ad-
vantage over other gang-plows, in striking off
land and in plowing, not having to make the nee
essary changes in the machinery, and the scat is
always level, not throwing the driver forward or
sideways as in other plows. Better work and
more of it can be accomplished by the use of this
Plow than by hand.
We take pleasure in recommending the "GAY''
PLow to our brother farmers, as one having no
superior in Oregon.

One Hundred Thousane DoIIard for a
Horse,

One Hundred Thousane DoIlard for
Horse.
Mr.. Robert Bonner of the New York
Ledger, offers one hundred thousand
dollars for horse that will equal the
recent performance of Dexter mile to
heavy wagon in 2:21a. A hundred
thousand dollars seems fabulous price
for horse but there is no doubt tina
Mr.. Bonner would draw his check for
that sum any day for the peer of Dex-
ter.
There is no telling what speed may be
shown hereafter: but the opinion seems
almost as universal and fixed among
horsemen that Dexter never will be equal
ed as it is that he never has been. We
saw Mr.. Bonner drive him, few days
ago, at Prospect Park. where he
evidently did not do his best, in 2:1S4.
The only horseman we know of who
expresses any expectation of ever owning
rival to Dexter's time is President
Grant; but We apprehend that he will
become less hopeful after the experiment
in preceding trotters shall have progress
ed further.
The most promising young horse in
the country to-day probably, is colt, as
yet unnamed, but. we believe, to be
called Edward Everett, which is also
owned by Mr.. Bonner, and is now in
training in the country. He has made
the fastest time ever made by five
year old. This colt is of the same stock
with Dexter and is said to have finer
way of going-in the opinion of the most
skillful and practised horseman-than
was ever before shown by colt.
There is one service of great utility
which Mr.. Bonner might render to the
world He undoubtedly! possesses more
complete and thorough knowledge of the
horses foot that any other man that ever
lived. No better evidence of his skill
could be furnished than is seen in the
improved feet of Dexter When Mr..
Bonner bought him, one forward foot
was smaller than the other, ard very
defective and tepder. This has enlarged
and is now natural and perfect. Form
erly Dexter never trotted without boots
on; but now he never wears them, and
does not touch a hair.
If Mr.. Bonner were to put all his
knowledge into book, amply illustrated
by plates, it would be most valuable
work. But there is no chance of his
ever having leisure or inclination to do
this.-Neae York Sun.
