"A chained watch dog belonging to Rev.

turned loose than it killed three sheep
for Mr.. Gilbraith, and has been living
on sheep meat ever since. The neigh>
borhood finally rose up against him and
determined to kill him. He would not
let them get near enough to shoot him,
however, and it was finally resolved to
hunt him down with dogs. According
ly tat redoubtable Nimrod, ]. w. b.
Thomas, was prevailed upon to start out
his trained pack after the culprit. The
chase took place on Esq. Holden's place,
one day last week-a white dog in the
lead-though some say it was black
dog. The thief dog, large brindle,
made for T. J. &. 5. p. Perry's place,

SAwDUsT VALLEY, January 81, 1873.
To the Editors Of the Herald:
You will remember ] promised you, when
last in your sanctum, thai would drop YOU

prominent citizens. And you will not be sur.
prised when tell you that among the promi-
nent citizens Uncle Mike K. always comes first.
You we're quite mistaken in supp ,sing the
veritable Uncle Mike h I'd dis appeared about
the time that T. T. Barnum de, amped. To
come right to the point, some suspected I'm
Gle Mike of being in the secrets and plans of
the said Barnum. By this | would not be uu-
derstood as endsayoring to make the impression
that Uncle Mike was either advertising agent
or, that he had any hand, either directly ui
indirectly, in the many little one horse rob.

of the right name) on stills, his head quite

looked a little too much like Uncle Nike rot to
mean something. And then the man that lie d
the bear around-I liked to have said he
looked very much ike-you know who. You
know who | mean: But | rather think | can
almost convict him on another cause in the in
dictment. Madame Rumor says that he reads
a chapter in the life of P. 7. Barnum every
night before retiring .and every now aud then,
num- says. Now, MIR. Editor, what means all
this =? All, hah yes, what does it mean?
Well, Mr.. Editor, will let Uncle Mike slide
for the present until next show season, more
on account of his connections than anything he
has said in refutation of what have been say
ing, by way OF arraigning fer complieity in the
Barnum affair.
Now, Mr. Editor, word about Sawdust.
Well, it is substantially in the same place as
when you last saw it. 1t may, perhaps, have
had a slight horizontal motion subsiding
slightly to the eastward.

Farmers are all bent on a more abundant

But few, II any, realize the amiableness of a
true friend until they lose one. The deceased
was known by many, and none knew her but to
love her. Many pleasant hours have we enjoy

As Christian she was ever true to her OBJ
legation, as a sister, kind and affectionate, as a
daughter, ever ready to lend her assistance to
render the family circle happy. May her ex-
ample through life, and in death ever shine a
beacon light to those who are left to mourn
her loss with the cheering hope, that what was
our loss was her eternal gain. She bore her
affiiction with patience and Christian fortitude,
for weeks sbe knew death would soon relieve
her from her sufferings, and that ere long she
must cease to minge with friends on earth,
and her spirit fud est resting place with
those who had gone before. She had no dread
for the future, but expressed willingness,
whenever the last sad hour should come to
meet death without a murmer. Thus lived and
died the true Christian, whose memory we love
to revere and around whose last resting place
we love to linger.
