a colored gentleman calling himself NAPo-
LEON 2ard, alias \. B.. GA1LLARD, called at the
"Littlc Nlan's'' Store, short time ago, to make
inquiry about the "stolen Hat, and wanted to
know what Niger stole it; and upon being
informed, and receiving an Introduction to
"HUpBARD's Niger" Immediately proposed
trade for the Hat. The Niger offered the
Hat for one dollar, as it cost him nothing; and
without q half dozen words Napoleon took the
Hat on credit, and thought he was better off
than the 'Nigger,'' for he got it honestly, and
the Nigger stole it. The truth is, HUBBARD is
little afraid that his Niger will sell all his
Hats, as he don't care what they cost HUBBARD.
He thinks it right to sell at some price.
Napoleon was so well pleased, he bought
something else, and that. seems to be theway

Rings.

We like them, so far as we have any
knowledge of them, and more especially
DO we like a gold riug-a ring for the
finger, we mean-eighteen carats fine,
for instance. We never saw wheat
ring, though they are said to exist; they
lead city life, and are never found in
the country. Nor have VIC ever seen a
whisky ring; nor yet do VIC know wheth-
or they can be seen, though they are
also said 10 exist. We have an idea
that man IN whisky ring is like q
man in circle; and, more especially
so when the man in the circle lies down
Con purpose, OF course) to measure the
diameter Of the circle; or, perchance,
when he ssays (swiut per Andy
around to test the mathematical quos-
ton of the circumfeIelce Of the circles
being three times its diameter. These
whisky rings, and sings, and sways, an d
swings are, 10 our opinion, of doubtful
character, any way.
But there are other rings and other
circles, such as spiritual not whisky
circles, sewing rings or circles, the
ring of the bell (nOt belle of the ring)
and the ring Of true metal. We always
had an idea that that was gold ring,
though other people say that il is an in

Well, then, there arc the railroad
rings aud political rings, such as state
house rings, court house rings, etc.
Court house rings or circles seem TO be

Obituary.

Mrs EUNIcE PaEsroN, wife of
WIN. PRESTON, who died at Ellsworth
on the seventh instant, was lady OF
uncommon worth, remarkable alike for
patience, kindness, beuevolence and
charity. She was in her ffty-fifth
year, and few, indeed, there are who
see so much Of real life in a century, as
did the subject of this notice. For
many years the writer hereof has known
her, and known her but to respect her.
In sickness her hand was ever ready to
relieve; in distress or poverty, hers was
the open hand Of charity. Under all
circumstances in life, she was cheerful,
bearing its ills or its pleasures with
even fortitude. For every token of
affection, friendship, or Of love, her
heart overlooked with gratitude. No
art she knew--to guile her lips were
strangers. Suffering under disease in
durable for months, at length her hour
came, and through the yielding night
and gathering day, her friends around
her death. bed stood, aud then her
spirit fair, up-soaring, robed in light,
went forth to meet its God.

County Fair.

Last Friday We issued supplement
containing list of premiums offered BY
the officers of the Society, and other
matters pertinent and instructive con-
corning the same. Now VIC urge every
one who has any thing possessing beau
-ty, or extraordinary qualities OF any
kind, to put the same on exhibition
next Friday and Saturday. 1t is only
by so doing that the Fair can be made
attractive. But little effort is required,
but that little should be made. Let
every one do something; then there
will be variety, and all tastes will be
cratiied. The farmer should bring in
his stock aud produce; the mechanic
his machinery or wares; the artist his
paintings, sculpture, drawings; to the
field where the Indies can contribute tho
useful, agreeable and ornamental, there
is no limit. a
Then, too, bring in the children, old
and young; the young never will forget
these things; they will make a lasting
impression upon the young mind; the
girls will not only be delighted with
the patch work, painting, etc, but they
will obtain a practical hint about max
ing loaf of bread, or turn over a new
leaf in the art Of pastry; the boys will
gain new ideas about cattle, horses
sheep, wagons, plows, machinery aud
business.
Then, also, there will be fun for the
young, sport for tao middle aged, and a
gay time for all. Yes. go tc :ie Fair,
to see the "fair," TO admire the ''fair,"
to kiss the "fair," aud to eat the Stare"
If you carry your own, especially.

No more on earth, and her eyes
Frightened, at the last, as though
A door was opened, and she could
See something that pleased her. in
Another room. We trust she did
And only hope, and trust till the
Time to come, when we shall know
Tue truth. Our little Gertie, darling one,
We mis- her every where; in the psrlor,
The kitchen, the garden, and the yard
A moment from our sight, aud we
We're lookin I, here and there, till we
Found her, on the fence, or in the swing,
or rocking dolly. singing by-by baby,
And in play she'd gently lay it down,
As though that dolly now was fast asleep.
Then her kitty too she'd take, and soon,
Perhaps we'd fin her fast asleep,
With kitty purring on her arm.
Our little Gerlie, darling one,
We cannot tell you how mucL we
Miss her. We do not hear it echoed
Through the house now, where's Gertie!
For we all know, and we have no
Need to ask. Yes we know that she

That angels dwell, and all is happiness.

And talk so kindly, tell us we must
Not grieve for her, that ii is wrong,
That she is better off, and has left
A world Of trouble, that she is free
From pain, and is dear little
Angel now. Aud when they tell us
All these things, we say yes, we know
sTis wrong TO grievc for we have read
rhat those who mourn and grieve
Have selfish hearts. And then we
Fry to think that all they say is true
Our little Gcr,ie, darling one,

And our thoughts come and go, we
Wish that she were here, aud we
Conld fold her in our arms once more.
Or ask her, who loves Gerlie? and hear
Tier answer mama, papa too.
Even at the midnight hour we miss her,
For we have seen her in our dreams,
And would waken with feeling
For moment, that she were here
Aud we could hear her saying ah.la mama
Which meant she wanted water, and we
Could feel her little arm around our neck
nd the gentle touch of her tiny hand,
Smoothiug our cheek, ant hear her say
Poor, poor, mama, just as she used to do.
We do not think it strange that we should
Miss her, nor DO we think il strange that

EDS. JoUREAL:-Perhaps few
lines penned by a former resident of
River Falls might be acceptable for
your paper. There is an old sentiment
which gives expression to a prophetic
truth. "Westward the star Of empire
takes its way" l find myself following
in the track, almost upon the verge OF
the great West.
Bryant, one Of the poets of America
of whom we are all proud, to illustrate
distance, wrote in his Thanatopsls,
aWhere rolls the Oregon aud hears no
sound save the wild dashing
of its own waters-there are the dead" "
and the living also, bounding into life.
Boise City is the capital of this Ter
ritory. 1t is a lively, rushing, and
prospering place. 1t may be regarded
as fiction, but it is in fact truth, that
here where now write, but few years
ago was sage brush waste, instead Of
a Aourishing city. remember with
pride the natural scenery and beauty of
River Falls. But when | left there /
came to a place that is equally cnticing,
and / believe more progressive. And
while am content with the change, /
still have, and entertain hearty go@u
wish for the prosperity of River Falls,
aud for its local JOURNAL.
