the letter-carrier brought them an order
from the golden shores of California for
lot Of their famous spectacles.
C P. Barnes began the jewelry bushes,
in the spring OF 1868, on s-capital of $500
with his brother J. B. Barnes. as clerk ol

both sober, discreet, honorable younl

A LETTER FROM RocKPoRT.

\ DEAR HERALD:-I have for long time
meditated letter to you, but have hith-
erto been hindered by my characteristic
and excessive modesty. If this effusion
is consigned to the waste basket. all my
literary ambition will be "squenched."
Rockport is situated on Green River at
the crossing of the L. P. & s. W. R R.
1t has about sixty families. 1t has five
dry goods houses, two hotels, blacks
smith shop, a stave factory, mill, and
the biggest Police Judge iu the State.
have done the injustice of forgetfulness
to the gunsmlth shop ---5
There will also be in operation, by sum-
mer, foundry here.
When the slave factory opens up for
the spring work, it will give constant en-
ployment to about eighteen or twenty
hands. mean in the factory proper.
understand that the proprietor, Mr.. W. E
Chess, contemplates building finishing
shop as soon as the weather opens. The
factory when in operation presents busy
scene. Every fellow seem to think the
success Of the whole concern, depends up
on his individual exertions. What with
the humping and humping of the two
buckers, whirr and buzz of the equalizers,
and the loud ring of the heading saw, il
is an exciting spectacle.
The equalizers are two saws running
on the same axle to cut off the ends of the
slaves thus making them all of exactly
the same length. The stave is then run
through the bucker, which "shsves'
them very nicely, making one side cons
cave the other convex. They are then
packed on car and "run" into the steam
house, where they are boiled for two ol
three days. They are then run to the
dry house, here they are subjected for 9
day or two to constant draught of hot
air. when they are ready to ship by R. R
or by bsrges- They turn out about 2,00(
per day, (more particulars another time.
Rockport is bound to be a prosperous
and important point. Its facilities fol
shipping will make it 30 if nothing else
Let it's citizens awake, then, to their tru,
interests, and cultivate spirit of i'm
provement and enterprise. Among theil
most pressing needs now are q good and
commodious house of worship, and goo,
warehouse. A large and beautiful lot ha
been donated for a church, and it shoult
be built. The only meeting house her
is the school house. 1t is of course
though nice and good house. hardly e
for either-being too large for the one AM
too small for the other. P. R.

Information Wanted.

The condition ofour streets would be q
disgrace to Digger Indian village. The
mud is universal and almost bottomless
1t abouuds everywhere. In rainy wealth.
er there is scarcely thoroughfare in the
town that is passable. What few side-
walks we have are in miserable order,
and ought to berepaired. There is no rea-
son under heaven why the present state
Of things should exist. Hartford is
one of the oldest towns in this section of
the State. For more than sixty years its
domestic affairs have been administered
by board Of trustees. During all that
time taxes have been levied with prompt
exactitude on the property of our citizens
by the board of trustees, and collected
with commendable industry by the town
marshals. There is but one lawful use
to which the money 80 collected can be
put-and that is the improvement of the
public highways Of the town. We are
assured that, in the last twelve or four
teen years, about all the work the town
board has ordered to be done, and saw
accomplished, was the cutting down of a
portion of an elevation near the bridge.
The work otherwise done on the streets
during the year would not exceed twenty
dollars in cost and makes them nuisan-
ces instead of bettering them. The taxes
paid by the citizens and property-hold-
ers of Hartford, since the town has been
incorporated, run up to many thousands
of dollars, yet the streets are not drained.
and there never has been foot Of side
walk built either at the expense Of the
town purse or by the order of the trus-
tees. All the walks constructed have
been by property-holders. Now, the peo-
pie don't want to pay their money out for
nothing-yet that is what they have been
doing all these years. We do not charge
any body with stealing this money. 1t
may be that it has all been judiciously
and legitimately expended pro bono publ
co. Yet there are a good many people in
town, Taxpayers at that, who are at a
loss to understand this. They want some-
thing tangible to show for their money
And they are right. Let the trustees
publish an exhibit ofthe towns financial
affairs. Itis due to the people. who want
to know what becomes of the money, 1t
is due to the trustees themselves, if they
would not have suspicion of wrong-doing
attach to themselves. Let US have the
statement by all means.

Mysterious Disappearance.

James Dinwiddie, young man who
was attending the Hartford Seminary,
and who boarded at the Crow House, sud-
denly and unaccountably disappeared on
Tuesday morning the 10th inst, and has
not been seen or heard of since. He was
generally looked upon, we believe, to use a
Scotch phrase. as having "a bee in his
bonnet" He had peculiarities that were
noticeable, but, so far as we know, was
free from vicious habits. Prof. Haynes
wrote to his father, who lives in the VIZ
ciuity of Milwood, Grayson county, noti-
flying him of his sons disappearance.
Young Dinwiddie left all his clothing,
and his books packed on the table ready
for school, in his room at the hotel.
What is rather singular about the matter
is, that he was not seen on any of the
roads leading from town. either on the
day of his disappearance. or at any time
subsequently. --....--....

A TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
To the Memory of Our Much La-

e Offered at the Grave by Acting
Master s. w. Anderson.

Brethren Of the Mystic Tie: Iknow that
l will be pardoned for closing this Moni-
tor, that has always been our guide in our
ceremonies and services, to express those
feelings of the Brotherhood, which we
find in no cold form or printed ritual.
Again. by dispensation of Gods provi-
dence, have we been called together, around
the grave of a dear deceased brother, to
perform the last cad rites-to drop tear
ofsorrow by the tomb of him we loved 90
WELL And whilst we do feel sad to think
that we will never again clasp the hand
that was ever open to charity, that was
never closed to the poor and the needy. or
never again associate with him whose
nature shed halo of virture about his
life-yet his memory is enshrined in our
hearts, and the lessons of his life still sur
vive to guide our steps and direct US in
the way Of honesty. generosity and truth.
Were / called upon to pronounce q eulo-
gy upon the life of him who was such a
steadfast friend, l could utter no more
beautiful sentiment or eloquent tribute,
than to repeat the simple story of his life.
A life without falsehood.
A life with not single stain.
A life untarnished by single evil ae-
ton. ....-.r Cd.
And l would say, Too, that here rests
one who never wronged his fellow man;
whom none knew but to love, generous to
fault, and whose name will ever live
green 10 the hearts of all who knew him.
To the afflicted wife and children,
would now say, that we do most deeply,
sincerely, and affectionately sympathist
with you, in this your sore bereavment,
would remind you that, though the loved
form and voice is now still in death, yel
be has left you a legacy richer by far thar
silver or gold, the worlds pomp and splen
dor, the statesman's g fame. or the warrior q
glory. He has left name TO which yor
may indeed point with pride: a nam,
around which cluster virtues that will

true worth are valued and respected

A Human Brute Deserts His Wife
and Children.

David Riley, man about thirty years
of age, who lived in this county near the
Mclean county line. on Sunday week
carried bis wife and five little children to
her fathers, Mr.. Joseph Bennett, and
there left them, pretending that he want
ed to go off to another neighborhood to
buy hogs. That was the last they saw
of him. The wretch sold off everything
he could turn into money, and then made
tracks for parts unknown. A man who
could thus deliberately desert his family,
rob them of all means of support, and
leave them to battle with poverty and
destitution, their only hope of sustenance
resting upon the cold charity of the world,
is a creature whom it would be gross
fattery to call devil.
