Dead.

Cut down In the richest bloom of
manhood, with position, honor and
troops OF frienis," every p ilse
bounding with health and energy, and
happy New Year just opening It's
rosy portals to his gaze, the victim In
the recent sad tragedy has passed from
earth to another world. An ornament
to his profession, u prince among his
associates, a true man, he had but
one fault, alas too common, and for
that fault has paidthe heaviest penalty
man can pay. Lightly may the soil of
Texas rest upon his breast, green he
the turf above him, and evergreen,
as the symbol which his brothers shall
cast into his grave, be his memory in
the hearts of his friends.

A Pet Gander and What Came Of 1t.
A friend of ours, who lives not far
from Huron, once upon a time took
quite fancy to a friendly gandor, and
cultivated its acquaintance until they be-
came almost inseparable companions,
when he was on the farm. Ye gander
would forsake the flock end follow our
friend from one field to another, and in
its own way retail to him all the choice
bits Of scandal prevailing in goosedom.
Whether he became thoroughly versed
in its vernacular, deponent saith not, but
they were fast friends until a period
when, in an unlucky moment, his gan
dership put his foot in it. Which we
rise to explain:
On certain occasion, whileit was yet
clark as Erebus, our friend, who, be-
sides being farmer va3 also
dairyman, rose up from his couoh and
bsthought him hewould get his milking
done before day. Lighting his lantern
and taking possession of tho other par
apharnalia usual on such occasions, he
proceeded to the stable where She COWS
were kept in stalls over night, His
practice was to commence at the further
end Of the stable and work toward the
door, and SO he began. Setting his Ian
tern down, he seated himself on stool
and began milking the frat COW. He
had got well through with her, when in
walked the pet gander quietly and Sc
dately, and taking position behind the
COW began, in a familiar way, to nibble
at its heels. Whether the good COW was
on intimate terms with the gander or
not, the story doth not state, but it ia
rather surmised she was jealous of our
friends liking for it, and determined to
resent so fowl proceeding as tlat it was
indulging in. Quick as thought she do
hvered well directed blow with her
heel, but instead of its striking the gan
der, it was planted square in our friend's
bread basket, and there followed as
handsome a shower Of milk as was ever
Witnessed, deluging our friend and ex-
tineuishing the light. The canlor, af-
frighted, ran against the next cows
heels, just ss our friend was gathering
himself up, and another kick, this time
in the ribs, sent him doorwerd as far as
the next cow whose heels lalped him
along to her neigubor, and she passed
him along to the next, whero he was
served likewise; the operation was re-
peated by each COW in the row, until he
went out Of the door on his hands and
knees, in rather a sorry plight, and in a
rather unamiable frame Of mind. That
gander never went wandering with him
over the farm any more, and no monu-
ment has been raised up over its re-
mains. Which, we would remark, shows
how slight matter will some time
blight a friendship of long standing.
Our friend never renewed his friendship
with any Of the tribe. Huron Times.

"Never fought duel, sir"

''NO sir; nothing of that kind"
Jonathan tried various lodges, but TO
no effect; and at last almost out Of
patience with himself, as well rs with
the gentleman, whose patience was very
commendable. he determined on direct
inquiry as to the nature of the accident
by which the gentleman had come to
lose his leg.

"on condition that you will promise not
to ask me another question"
Agreed" exclaimed the eager listen
