Levi Straus, of Liberty township, was
killed by James Sherrick, Nov. 4th.
They were neighbors, and Sherrick had
a potato patch on the lands of Straus.
They had fallen out about the potatoes.
Straus said that if Sherrick dug the po-
tatoes he would shoot him. Sherrick
said he would dig the potatoes if "hell
froze over" Sherrick and two of his
boys took hoes and went into the potato
patch, and Straus loaded pistol and
also went in. Before he got there he
put the pistol in his pocket, and when
the men got together they began to quar-
rel, and Sherrick caught Straus. They
clinched, Straus going under. Sherrick
then struck him five or six times with

 Like the rest of the country we are experi- encing clear cold weather, with the ground more deeply covered wi:h snow than it has been for three years, and which is trodden down into solid, compact mass in our streets, almost as hard, in fact, as ice.

 Last week We noticed in the NEWS a communication from Luna" Now l think 1t is the Suns turn to give the items ; don't you? Iwould like to reply to some things which our friend Luna stated last week concerning the epidemic which she says is raging this winter among the old bachelors in this region. Her meaning is quite ambiguous. The epidemic must ex ist in :the lunacy of her dreams, else she herself knows something more than she choses to tell concerning the contagion. We will watch the marriage lists for the next two months and learn if Madame Rumor tells truly. The Sheffield Ora matic Club are to give another entertain ment on Wednesday evening of this week. They announce that it will consist of the comedy, "A Tremendous Question" and the amusing farce "A regular Fix" A crowded house undoubtedly will be theirs, as their success previously is well known. 1.-The friends of the Rev. MT. Chipp are to make him donation visit on Wednes- day evening of this week and good time is expected. 1.-The Congregational Soci- ety held meeting last Saturday and elect Henry Butcher to the office of Deacon. A sad accident occurred near the village on Friday afternoon of last week. k...... As Miss Alice Sage and her cousin Mary E. Sage were driving towards Joyceville, the horse took fright at the cars and ran. Turning short corner of the road both ladies were thrown out and Miss Mary Sage seriously injured. At first it was thought fatally, but we learn later that she is convalescent. Miss Alice escaped with few bruises. The sleigh is among the things that were, being completely wreck ed It was overturned in such way tha it seems miraculous that the ladies escap ed with life. There seems to be little safe ty in travelling nowadays. On the ocean we hear of fearful disasters; railroad slaughters are becoming altogether toe common. and even the best of horses will sometimes drive for themselves and smash things generally. SoL.
 Another correspondent from Sheffield writes under the caption of ''Guards":
 We hear of various guards nowadays, but the latest is this: There is a gentleman of an uncertain age living in the town o1 South Canaan who is SO afraid that some lady will entrap hlm in matrimony that he protects his heart with 8 genuine truss This is what he says, so we have it from good authority. Such cowardice is to be condemned. Girls, look out for that man He would make good insurance agent at any rate he has the right kind of talent for the business. L.R.

 Do you bite your thumb at me ? No SIT : I do not bite my thumb at you, but 1 bite my thumb ;-said Shakespeare over two hundred years ago, and to-day in open light, in this beautiful town and in the col umns of widely circulated newspaper, the authors and abettors of treason are biting their thumbs at respectable people, and scattering and leaving thelr poison on every living, green and beautiful thing. They no doubt imagine that they have bis- ten me, and left their impress on my un
 wrinkled skin. No sir they have fallen into error. l am as smooth as four-year- old, and ready for foot race or 8 fight. Dream on ye vlpers; you will rue the day you ever attacked the reputation of. such self-nade, noble souls as Justice Kingston and Mutton Hill, and as soon as the snow disappears and the protracted meetings close, will hold a conference with you, which may or not be pleasant and refresh ing, at least to the people hereabouts.- Coming out of church on Sabbath last. I met Brother Chase. He seemed timidly excited, and extending his hand l grasped it and said: What dost thou here noble heart He replied in a sorrowful tone, l now pull the bell rope in the place of Go- dine, removed. did not want the office, indeed did not! but they thrust it on me in spite of my letter of non acceptance g moments pause, and then l spoke with some warmth of feeling: Can it be possi- ble that in the nineteenth century and with the mercury running five degrees below zero, chat an old and highly respected townsman would be removed from the an cient and responsible office of sexton, be- cause his hands were so cold that he could not not pull the bell rope. Can such things be, and overcome us like a summer cloud without our special wonGer?" I could not believe that such a thing would take place in the town of Sharon, especially du- ring the freezing season; or that the office of sexton should be so carelessly consider ed, when it runs full up to the time of the priesthood. Boys climb trees and men climb ladders. political and otherwise, and Chase is famous for tall climbing. He painted the spire of our Congregational church last summer, in truly artistic style
