A GENTLE HINT.-Not many miles
from Salem a company of new friends
might have been seen one evening in
the parlor of an old couple, spending
few hours in social chat. Time flew
rapidly to all save the "head of the
house" who, about nine o'clock, got
very sleepy. He never staid out of
bed later than that hour, if he could
help it. The company, however,
talked, and talked, and talked, to the
old lady, who enjoyed the converse
ton much, whilst her bigger half"
dozed and nodded, and occasionally
snored, just a little. Finally, getting
his eyes fully opened, and seeing the
clock mark half past nine, he turned
yawningly toward the partner of his
joys and sorrows. and said Wife,
hadn't we better go to bed2 These
folks want to go home. "-Satena Re

the largest and most commodious

CatacIysm Of Ink.

A we'll known firm in this city,
which has acquired a reputation for
the delicacy Of their prepared condi-
ments, also indulge IN the manufae-
ture of a very excellent writing ink,
which is celebrated for its color and
the case which marks its flow. The
firm also possess a white cat, noted fer
her beauty. who, after her morning
prowl, retires to her favOrite spot on
the desk in the counting room, where
she slumbers quietly, when not dis
posed to inspect the accounts and
walk over paid and unpaid bills. a

into the ink room, and while pros .
pecting fell into barrel Of

characteristic energy she emerged
from her unexpected bath, a

astounded at her dye, she ran with
rapidity toward her accustomed place
on the desk. As she dashed In, the
ink dropping from her sides, she
sprang to the desk, passing over the
open account books and papers,
making some of the most remarkable
entries ever seen. She converted
the ledger into blotter, aud the day
book bore marks of cats paws, which
remain to day an evidence of the in
debility of the ink. and a testimo-

dry. The miscegenated cat is rather
ashamed of her inky suit, which it is
expected in time may turn into pure
magenta. The absence of a phono-
graphic reporter prevents US from
giving the words which were uttered
by the partners when Tabby made
her grand entry.

THE colored citizens of Licking

ratification jubilee on the 18th inst.
Thousands Of the enfranchised race
turned out. and in procession marched
through the streets with music and
banners, and badges, with appropri-

such a display as is. rarely seen.
Everything passed off with decency
and in order. At the Court House
the immense crowd was addressed by
Col. VIM. Cassius Goodloe. Willard
Davis, Esq, Thos. s. Tucker, and
Others in appropriate speeches. The
crowd was estimated at five to ten
thousand.

Fruit In Southern Illinois.

we had a brisk snow storm aud some
frost, but the former prevented any
harm from the latter. It continues

will be difficult to estimate the benefit

the actual value of the crop, and that
would not be inconsiderable, but con

in our peach growing capacity.
Apples were good crop last year.
They can be bought for one dollar a
bushel on our streets to-day. The
prospect Of this year is good. Small
fruits were never more abundant, es-
pecially strawberries, than last season.
1t is difficult TO say with certainty,
what we may expect this season, but
there is nothing discOuragIng yet.
A good deal of attention has been
given to grape culture among us, and

somewhat of the next crop of fall

than half the crop of last year. On
the whole the farming prospects are
more than average.

seen by Mrs. Hart and son of Mr..
Maeomber. 1t moved so slowly that
no trouble was experienced in obtain

to be about the size of half-bushel

The Chicago River as a PPeserVer.
Itwould appear from recent devel-
opments that the odorous Chicago
river is a powerful antiseptic. At
the meeting of the Chicago Medical
Society, last night, DIR. Miller called
attention to the appearance ofbodies
recovered from the Chicago river. as
shown at the Coroner's inquests. In
a late case he had examined, he found
the body in On excellent state of pres
ervation, all the tissues solid, and
untouched by putrefaction. This H.
Illustrated the antiseptic qualities of
carbolic acid, as it was well known
that this was a preparation of coal
tar. The body was found In the
vicinity Of the Chicago gas works,
from which large quantity of coal
tar was constantly being precipitated
into the river.
Hereafter when it may be desirable
to embalm bodies, it will only be
necessary to deposit them in the
strong pickle of the Chicago River for
a few days to accomplish the desired
result at little or no expense. 1t may
be that an extended research in the
mud at the bottom of the river would
discover numerous bodies as we'll pre-

DEATH oF eENERAL MowER.

GFrom the New Orleans Times, January y
To-day-the first anniversary Of the
death of General ROusseaU-We are
called upon to chronicle that Of his
successor, General Joseph A. Mower.
The melancholy event took place at
half past 10 o'clock last evening, at
his residence No. AGA Magazine street,
in she presence of his family 4ud sever
al friends, among whom were Generals
Beckwith aud gincks and Governor
WarmOth. The disease which sue
ceeded in telling the soldier who had
successfully braved four years Of bat
tie, was congestion of the luDgs, aud
first seized upon its victim only i've
days ago. It's course was rapid; ell
though not at first considered danger
ously i'll, he continued to sink until at
5 O'Clock yesterday, when his family
were notified by the attending physi-
clans, Drs Edwards, Clements, White
and Smith, to prepare for the worst.
At haE-past 10 o'clock last night he
breathed his last, peacefully and calm
~.
General Mower was about forty
three years of age. He was born In
Woodstock, Vermont, and after baVing
received an academic education, at the
the breaking out of the Mexican war
he attached himself TO the engineer
corps and served throughout SCott's
campaign with great credit. He after
