Months

ty about two years ago, and settled
on Blake's Prairie. Sometime in
October last they moved to this
place, and settled on farm formerly
owned by Mr.. Joseph Ivey, about
one mile south of the village. IL APP
pears that in the latter part of No
vember las, Mr.. David Stopher, q
relative OF the family, came from
Ohio to visit them he was taken
suddenly sick and in about three
days died ; no one seemed to know
the nature Of the disease. Mr..
Whitelegther and some other friends
procured o suitable coffin and sent
the body to his friends in Ohio for
interment, but no particular danger
was apprehended. About eight or
ten days afterward, Charlie, son Of
six years, sickoned, manifesting the
same symptoms as in the case above
mentioned, and in four or five days
died. Twelve days after, q sister,
two years older, died of the same
disease. The father was then sick /;
ne being of strong constitution,
hopes Of bis recovery were entertain
cd but, alas in one short week the
father followed the children. Mrs.
Whiteleather, thinking it unwise to
remain 10 the house longer, went
FROM the interment of her husband
20 her brothers Oh Boice Prairie.
All seemed to do we'll for few days,
and she was preparing to so to her
friends in Ohio until Friday the 29th
nit, when she felt somewhat indis-
posed the physician was called, but
no real danger was apprehended IN
til Wednesday, tie I'd inst; she soon
passed away, happy in her God,
leaving three orphan children to
mourn the loss OF parents and broth
er and sister. The cause is supposed
TO be typhoid fever What warn
ing to the living How toreibly are
we reminded Of the exhortation,
"Prepare to meet thy God"

WESTERN ENTERpRIsE.-Itis we'll
known fact that IN some Of the Grant
County towns there are . number Of
manufacturing establishments whose
rapid growth and success shonld
shame the slow-coach enterprise Of
cities not a'bundred miles distant
We point with pride to the extensive
business OF Messrs q. Hawley Il Son,
Platteyille, in the manufacture OF
carriages, buggics end Wagons
This work advertises itself as seen
by the following notice from the
Boscotol Journal:
A NrcE "RIq. '--In order TO have the best
"turu oatr in town, public OF private, Far
uuhars9n & Brown have during the past week
received, at their livery stable, from the popu-
lar firm Of G. Hawley & Son most handsome
cutter, gotten up in their best style, which
excels anything we have yet seen. Il is light,
but s;roag gracefully shaped painted in
manner that cannot be beaten East or West,
and fnished in every way that does credit 20
the maker and owner. No one need 20 farther
East than Hawley's, say all who have ex-
apined this "thing OF beauty"
