ADisonDoInted Rur4nrd.

Old Mr.Fisher lives near 3ricksburg,
New Jersey, bat as he is not engaged
in business, and is particularly fond of
bitters, he rides over to the village on
horseback nearly every day, and spends
the morning in q tavern, drinking,
smoking and playing dominoes with
his "pards." Some time ago, he noun
ted his horse and started for home in a
deplorable condition of intoxication.
He had gone only about halt way when
he was seized with an uncomfortable de-
sire to take nap, so he dismounted
and rolled into a fence corner, where he
slept the sleep of innocence
After awhile he was espied by a hun
gry buzzard, which few in small cir
cles about him, and finally lit on the
ground beside Mr. Fisher. After SMELL
ing around for a few moments, the buzz
zard concluded it was all right, and be
would dine off those remains. So he
went up to Fisher and gave him saw
age peck in the face.
Fisher Immediately awoke, and,
striking out lazily atthe bird as he came
up for the second round, said "Look-
a-here You're a l-e-tle bit too smart,
you arej l amt dead yet"
The buzzard went away to look up
some other free lunch, and Fisher
scrambled home; but to this day if you
ask him about the scar on his face, he
will tell you that it is where he was

BOy Smokers.

Ifa man should tell us that a healthy
child could put his system under the
influence of a powerful Enarcotic every
day, without permanent injury we
should tell him That he didn't know
much-abom that. We never saw 80
many boys smoking along the streets
as now The practice will reduce the
final stature ofthe boy who begins at
fourteen at least half an inch. 1t will di-
minish his physical force in that porpo.
ton, and his mental force still more.
The boy that smokes can bear trouble
better. He can lose his place in store
with less grief. 1t worries him less to
get to the foot of his class. Tobocoo is
a leather jacket that shields his hide
from the lash of adversely. We doubt
if there is business man in Boston so
green that he would take boy that
smokes, when he could as we'll have as
good boy who does not. Tobacco is
. source of daily expense, a motive for
theft till boy comes to mans pay.
1t wastes his blood, for though the par
oted glands save the kidneys some work,
yet be that makes an urethra of his
mouth, must lose from his blood much
that is needed to aid digestion, whereas
the kidneys do their own work better,
and in health rob the blood of nothing
useful Man is the most precious crop
the Yankee raises, and just now it is
soant.in quantity. Let it not be infe.
rior in staple also. Boston Ne'Os.

Murder is not only becoming more
common, but bolder and more barbar-
Gus. The most public streets are Cho-
sen for the bloodiest deeds, and at the
rate at which we are making progress
it will be impossible to venture out in
our city without seeing an affray ended
in bloodshed. Some Of these affairs pro-
ceed from causes that cannot be reac he'd
by the authorities, but the majority of
them are directly due to the removal of
restraints from the liquor traffic. How
much longer are the vendors of "dis-
titled damnatiOn," as Rowland Hill, we
think, not inappropriately styles iRtoxi-
eating liquors, to be permitted to carry
on their business in defiance of law,
and to the great injury ofthe public

SOME enterprising individuals under
took to get up a balloon ascension in
Chillicothe last week, but it failed, owing
to a singular circumstance. Arm
strong, of the Register, happened to go
too close to the balloon, while it was be-
ing inflated, and being very gassy and
leaky himself, it is supposed that nature,
in undertaking to equalize the currents
and restore the vacuum to an equilibrium
the old balloon couldn't stand it and ex-
ploded. This was better than if Arm
strong had explodedj for the remnants
ofthe poor old balloon were worth some
thing whereas Armstrong; fragments
would have been worthless. A crowd

Ever since we saw base ballist with
a broken finger, another with a Grip
pied hand and another with a demoral-
lied nose, aud others with hands done
up in white handkershiefs hanging over
their shoulders, all of which hruies
were the result of indulging in the heal
hy exercise Of Base Ball playing, we
have had singular idea that the game
would not pay for the ammunition, and
that we can always apply our physical
powers to better and less hazardous
purpose.

TIE CRoPs, The wheat crop in our
county is good, and doing well. The
out worm has made sad havoc with the
corn. Some fields have been planted
for the third time, and the prospect is
discouraging, Oats are nearly "gone
up" Some farmers are talking ofdraw-
ing theirs with nippers and washing the
roots! BY the way, Mr.. Noah Souders,
Of Benton, reports that enc year ago,
he sowed a field of oats, and last fall
put in wheat, This spring the wheat
forgot to come up, but the oats put in
vigorous appearance, and is now as

Fires.
We again call attention to this sub
ject. In this intensely cold weather,
with half-empty cisterns, few wells
and the river ice over 20 inches, will,
no hose, no hook and ladder company,
no public buckets, no organization,
"no nothing" it behoves us to watch
every possible approach of that dread
element which greets us pleasantly in
parlor, dining-room and kitchen, but
which, if not closely watched, will, in
few hours, leave us the heirs of max
edness and ashes. For three years
McGregor has been prudent and not
fire of buildings has taken place.
We trust our frequent and earnest
calls of attention to this subject have
been of much use. We continue to
call. Examine your stove pipes and
your chimneys; if you have a careless
neighbor go to him and assist to exam
inc his this is your own safety and
the safety of a whole block. Make
your doors and windows tight fit,
stop all the cracks you can; this will
save fuel, and call for less risk in
heating up your stoves. Charge the
wife to look sharply during your daily
business absence. Go home early in
the evening, see that not less than
two large buckets of water (placed
where it won't freeze) be in the house
when you go to bed. This is steam
boat fashion; their decks are lined
with buckets of water to meet an
emergency; why is not land property
entitled to the same care? Get a lad
der of IL to Is feet; keep it close to
your lowest roof and don't lend it ore,.
night, unless to suppress fire.
BY the observance of these little
GREAT matters we hope McGregor will
pass 1870 as safely as she has the three
preceding years.

about 400 paid so cents each to get in the
enclosure. The crowd Of t. o,'s that came
here from abroad were as pretty u picture
Of confirmed roughs as we ever saw in

all the same quality in our estimation.
