BRING Our THE OxEN-It is expected
that oxen must take the lace Of horses for
all work here, for short time, and the
sooner they are brought out the better for
the horses. Oxen may yet appear on our
streets attached to the finest carriages-if
the weather should be stormy We have
seen in the city of Funchal, in the Island
of Madeira, finer carriages than any in
Rock Island, swung upon sleds and drawn
by oxen There the most aristocratic
people ride in that manner-not on account
cf the horse disease, but because of the
up-and-down character of the streets, rem
lering it unsafe TO ride in carriages on
wheels or drawn by horses. Who brings
out the first carriage here, with oxen?

From the Marietta Times. 10th inst.
Death Of Ernest WaerniCke

1t is a matter of deep regret to us. to
chronicle the death of MIR. Ernest Waer-
nicke, of Independence township, this
county, which sad event occurred on
Sabbath morning, the 18th inst, after an
illness, though brief, of great suffering.
We understand that his complaint was a
complicated case of black jaundice, which
baffled the skill Of our best and most cx-
perienced physicians. MIR. Waernicke
was in the 10th year of his age, and was
bern and educated in Germany. Before
leaving the old country he served an ap-
premiership of six years in a hardware
establishment, and there is no doubt his
after success was greatly owing to the
early and rigid training he there received
Mr.. Waernicke came to this country
about the year 1850 and was for num-
Der of years engaged with Mr.. f. A.
Lamping, then of Monroe County, who
was at that time extensively engaged n
packing tobacco and general merchandiz-
ING. After leaving Mr.. Lamping he was
engagedin the fancy dry goods business
in Baltimore, until about ten years ago,
when he returned and commenced bust.
ness in independence township, where he
met withgreat success. MIR. Waernicke
was warm-hearted genial and clever
gentleman, actuated byicharity, honesty
and integrity,possessing equally the love,
confidence and esteem Of the rich and the
poor. His death has left a vacancy in the
community which cannot be easily filleil
As business man he was perfectly relia-
BILE, energetic and prompt. commanding
the respect and confidence of the entire
business community. His funeral took
place on Tuesday afternoon, and was
doubtless the largest funeral that ever oc-
Cured in the township the whole neigh
borhood was in attendance besides q
number of persons from this city and
other distant places. He leaves wife
and two children to mourn his loss.
