YESTERDAY. in the afternoon about
o'clock, Venus could be distinctly seen
close to the moon, though the latter was
only family seen. A number OF folks
were looking at the star, when one man
got pair OF field glasses and proceeded
to take good look. Just as be had the
glasses in position, that incorrigible wag.
George Davis, the auctioneer, stepped up
and held his hat before the glass, telling
the gazer to get "good focus" The
man kept focusing. but did not get it
right, and at last concluded to take .
look without the glass, and there stood
George. pointing to o hole In the crown
OF his bat, and telling the observer that
be had mistaken that for the moon. The
man passed, and SO did George.
DIED.-we regret to hear of the death
Of Austin Clark. who died at his resi-

to himself. He was ono OF the early
settlers. as he reached that then Terri
