The establishment of pioneer and historical

and inviting field for the antiquarian, geolo-
gist and historian to alike indulge their re-

present society. The idea first taking tang

gent and influential gentlemen were assembled
and ripe to entertain the subject, as a mat
ter of course, the undertaking quickly became
great success. The society formed, and
"good men and true" elected to fill the Offices
in its management, the next idea was to in

From friend on the death of ELIZA Poor, vi
died April 9th, 1874:
Sleep mid the flowers, oh, fairest form
Where summers hand doth shed
Her precious gifts profusely forth
To deck the hallowed dead.
And what so fitting for thy eouch,
Which love had ever drest,
As yon fresh-budding rose that hides
The dew-drop in its breast?
But for thy spirit, blessed girl,
Earth hath no type 30 fair,
The fulness of that 10y TO show,
Which thou shalt ever share.
Nor eye hath seen, nor ear hath heard,
Nor feeble human heart,
The brightness of that heaven conceived
In which thou hast part.
And ye who tenderiy deplore,
Beneath afiiction's pang,
The silence Of the home that erst
With merry laughter rang
Say, is it not glorious change,
With unrepining tear,
To find deathless angel there,
For the frail treasure here7

Conscience Stricken-Sto1enM Money
Returned.-Several weeks ago, the resi-
dence of Andrew Reinelsbacher, of BallvilIe
township was entered b. burglar during the
absence of the family. The burglar made a
thorough search of the premises, and in one
of the bureau drawers found a pocket book
containing fOrty-fve dollars in money. The
money he carried off, Although search and
inquiry were made, no clue to the perpstrator
was obtained and the money was given up as
lost. But the thief was conscience stricken,
and watching his opportunity took advantage
of the family's absence one day last week to
return to the house and replace the money he
had stolen in the bureau. The next morning
evidences of his visit were discovered, but as
nothing had been carried of, no attention
was paid to the matter until Mrs. R. discov-
cred strange pocket book in the bureau
drawer. On opening it the S45 were found
the same bills that had been carried of. OF
course there were no "regrets" for the return
of the money. Now let the marauder turn
over a new leaf, and resolve that henceforth
he will overcome temptation and lead the life
of an honest man. He knows how utterly
wretched guilt makes man, and he will find
it safer and pleasanter to walk in the paths of
uprightness.
