The remains of Mr.. Thomas Cool
were inferred in the Unity Church bur
rial ground on Thursday last. Th,
funeral was largely attended. The
particulars so far as we can learn ar,
as follows: He had ridden short dis
tance into the country with a frient
and died in about twenty minutes af
ter whilst engaged in reading. He
and five of his comrades had planned s
cunning excursion in the neighborhood
of his old home and sent word that they
would be there on Wednesday, and on
that day his corpse was brought home
for burial. Mr.. Cook was student OF
medicine, was of an aspiring mind, and
had his life been spared would have
become noted in his profession.
Mrs. Margeret Campbell, lady Of
about So years of age, was severely III
jured by a fall on Thursday last The
injuries are in the arm and shoulder.
Although of such an advanced age, she
retains her powers of body and mind
in degree surprising to all.

troupe from an extended tour through
West Virginia. The mountain air

great dramatic troupe OF Professor C.

Asa rule publishers are ready and
willing to give aid and eneouragmentto
every object or movement that can IN
any way benefit humanity, but it is not
fair to ask or expect them to take more
interest in your schemes than you take
yourself. If you are willing to spend
ten dollars for a good cause don't ask
an editor to devote ten dollars to it
gratis. If you think his paper has to
be run anyhow, and your puff don't
make any difference, just start paper
and run it on that plan, and if the debit
side of your account at the end of the
year does not exceed the credit side, it
will be because your system was known
to be bad and you couldn'tget credit.

Some Rabbits

Big fish stories are common; but
hereafter fish will have to take back
seat, when the rabbit story is told. A
correspondent of the London Field,
writing from Australia, says that about
three years ago Mr.. Robson turned
out thirteen wild rabbits on his run,
and now $1,000 have been spent in try
ing to get rid of them. There is said to
be over fifty thousand of them in the
district, and they are spreading all over
the country. A company is forming to
kill and preserve them for expectation.
Two thousand four hundred rabbits
were killed in one day by party of
gentlemen with guns, and they were
all destroyed-pot one being used-to
compel the dealers to kill for them
selves, and so help to destroy them. 1T
is said that over one hundred thousand
have been killed, and still appear as
numerous as ever: and all these from
thirteen rabbits, in little over three
years.

1t will be remembered that at Chrict-

He was drowned while bathing at Ok

promising men of his day at Oxford,

the managers of the Wheeling & Lake

anxious to obtain a subscription of

against the policy of voting sal sub
scription providing there was any
security that the money would be ap-
