On the Oak Hill road, Just this side of Peter
Bunn's house, in the lane is one of the finest old
elm trees in this county. It's branches extend

"A man in this place heard of the death of
Charles Dickens in England, some four thous-
and miles distant. When he went home he told
it A young lady who was present remarked
that she had no doubt it was true as she had
seen the hearse going past the day before.
Fulton Furnace has blowed out, and Orange
has gone into blast. Now Orange Furnace is the
only Furnace in blast. The Receiver is like the
man who had caught and was holding the bear.
1t was dangerous to hold it, and more dangerous
to let 1t go. We have no doubt that he is sink
ing money every day he operates the Furnace.
There was some kind of one horse show, or
concert, or something of that sort at the City
Hall on last Saturday night. All the time there
are some kind of vagabonds going over the
country trying to make living without work.
1t Is not strange that consumption should
prevail in this climate. One week ago last Sat
urday, when at the Welsh meeting we think
we never suffered so much with heat. On last
Saturday 1t was so cool that great fires were
necessary in both stoves of the Court House,and
on last Sunday we kept up q fire all day.
Coming from the Court House on last Satur-
day afternoon, we saw crowd in front of the
Isllam House. Going up to the crowd we heard
a bird singing in wagon. We noticed that a
young man was standing in the wagon talking
and trying to sell something. Every once in a
while he would stop talking and twist and screw
up his mouth, and then we could hear the bird.
The fact is, the fellow had kind of whistle
something like the plate ofartiflcial teeth which
he stuck In the roof OF his mouth and which
produced the sounds Of several kinds OF birds.
He was selling these.
