Correspondence
1t has been some time since any
thing has been sent up to the news
man from this place of quietude.-
Nothing of note transpired for some
time worth sending, until of late, but
at length our repose was broken by
the report that one of our business
men was about to be taken from us
by death, aud finally, ON Wednesday,
the lst of this month, our Tanner, Mr..
II. Shultz, yielded up his life to the
grim monster, death. Some months
age he was brought very low by
kind of disease, but it was made to
yield to the power of medicine for a
time, so that he could walk to his
place of business and back to his
house. At length he started for Ra-
VIENNA and back. He then became a
doomed man. A relapse followed
and death was the end. Mr.. Shultz
was man much respected as citizen,

very good and will no doubt yield
well. - - &C.
THE dry, hot wealher.is beginning
to tell some ON the grass, corn and
potatos, while the bugs are telling

contend with-the Colorados aud the
old kind of bugs. The latter will do
us far the greater amount of damage,
and they are coming in swarrns and
are much harder to control than the
former. The Colorado bugs will act
opossqm, but the otheFs ape GqHtipH-
ally on guard and will retreat on the
approaehl of person and then return
again to their depradations when no
one Is in sight.
Mrs. John Ewing, our Post-mis-
tress, has been taken with hemoPrhage

Higley) until she returns.
Coal prospecting still continues here
and we cannot but believe that the

other circumstances that strengthen
us in this opinion which it would not
be proper to mention here.
We had very fine rain yesterday
and everything loaks very mHeh ro'
freshed this morning. CITIZEN.
