Frozen TO DEATH-For months past,
young and spzightly youth named Ea
BlOunt, and who lived on the north side of
Hatchie river a few miles from Bolivar, has
often been seen on our streets vending wild
game Of various kinds which he had cap
tured by his unerring aim Last Saturday
young Blount came to town as usual and in
the evening left for his home, but the Angel
Of Death had set signet upon his brow aud
wrote with invisible hand across the young
hunter's bouyant heart, +" thy doom is fixed
Before reaching his home it was necessary
for him to cross a slough that meandered
through an adjoining field and which was
flooded with back-water from the river;
this he struggled through, reached the op-
posite high land, but being overcome by the
icy water and the chilling wind he sunk
down upon the sleet covered earth and died
without a plying hand or kind voice to
soothe his last bitter hour of consciousness
this side the grave His body was found
Monday following, and borne to the resi-
dence Of his steplather, William Morris,
Esqr. Before the unfortunate left town he
procured pint of whisky, and as he was
unaecustom9d to drink, and as the flask
contaiEing the liquor was almost emptied
when found on his person, it is supposed
that his untime!y taking off may safely be
attributed to intoxication in the first place,
cold and exposure in the next What q sad,
sad commentary 0 ye sons of men;
"why will you Put an enemy in your
mouths to steal away your brains?

hair where the follicles are destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for

of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-

Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. Free

AMERICAN SILVER IN CANADA
Another crusade against American
silver has been initiated in Canada.
For a long time it has been received
by the Canadian Government only at
a discount of from four to six per
cent, aud then only in limited guam
titles; but in trade it has been at par
until within a few days. The late
tunbliDg of gold In the Uuited States,
and the consequent falling of silver,
has sent up greenbacks in Canada,
and in view of this the Canadians
have undertaken to get rid of the
great burden of American silver.
The principal railroads, the Montreal
Telegraph Company. the hotels, the
bar rooms, and the leading retail
traders are generally uniting in the
movement, and the result is that an
American half dollar goes for only
forty-eight cents, quarter for twenty
four, a dime for nine cents, and a
half dime for four cents. In the past
three weeks the shipments of Ameri-
can silver from Montreal alone have
averaged, it is reported, $4,000 per
dav

LETTER FROM PIKE.

PErERsBUEGH, Ind April 25, 1870.
Editors Journal:
Not seeing anything from Pike Of
late, /, having some tidings from the
North, viii proceed to report them.
Our wheat is looking remarkably
well. Fruit is not all killed: how
ever the crap will be light.
Peaches very light. Farmers are very
busy with their corn crops, and pre-
pairing for tobacco.
PetersbuIgh IS looking up little
like a bobtail rooster on a rickety
hen roost. A new brick school house
is now almost certain, costing about
twelve thousand dollars. An Odd
Fellows and Masonic Temple COM
bined il talked of, and stock to the
amount Of near five thousand dollars
now secured.
On Tuesday, the 18th inst, your
humble servant attended an Odd Fell
lows celebration aud dedication of a
new hall at Oakland City, Gibson
County. Too much cannot be said In
praise of all things done and said to
make one feel at home. A bountiful
supply of the choicest good things of
earth greeted the eye as it ranged
up and down two long and s1b-
stantial tables, whilst the breth-
rem all were busy inviting every
one to partake to his hearts. Cor
rather his stomach's), content, and,
as Nasty would say, of which we
were. whom and whereof we did.
wv. iii. DeWolf, Deputy Grand Master
of the State of Indiana, oficiated as
Grand Master, and also delivered an
address, which was full of cheer and
comfort to the brethren, and of in
terest to every one. I have seldom,
if ever, listened to a better address
on the history, aims and workings of
the order. The Odd Fellows of the
First District ought to be proud of
brother DeWolf
We are not much stirred up In the
way Of politics in Pike yet, but from
