An Act of Heroism Rewarded.

a correspondent of the Detroit Tribnne
writes from Spring Lake, Mich. as fol
lows:
On the corner of Jackson and State
Streets, in this decidedly unrOmantic vii
lagc, stands little old, unOccupicd build
mo, with an equally ancient residence in
the rear. The sole occupant is Il cOrpu-
lent. little Old sailor named Hiram \.
Reed. tamiliarly known as Squire For
thirty years previous to the first admins
tration Of Grant he was justice Of the
peace, and held court and dispensed jus
tice in the building mentioned above.
With Grants election the chief spirit of
Jackson Street went into retirement. and
the town grew over him, as it were.
During the summer of 1881, f0rty-f0u~
years ago. this little old man, the. =
sprightly sailor of twenty-six, had com
mand of the schooner Ontario, eighty tons
burden large vessel for those days., be-
longing TO Walton IL Willets. of OswegO.
\. Y, and sailing between that port and
Ontario, Canada. On a trip in July or
August Of that year Captain Reed had
two passengers, a young Frenchman and
his wife named GOlah. There were no
passenger boats in those days. At noon
upon a certain quiet day on the waters,
when all hands were below at dinner, save
the man at the helm and the young French
woman, and just as the captain was de-
sccnding into the cabin, he heard a splash
near the main chains, and hurrying to the
had fallen overheard. Quickly Selling
the end of a coil Of rope. the other end OF
which was fast to a Delaying pin, he jump
ed overheard. and as the vessel had scarce
~ Storage way, easily rescued the lady.
Her gratitude and that OF her husband
knew no bounds, and upon the arrival of
the vessel II Toronto they 5ried 10 induce
the captain 10 accept a present of a gold
watch. This he refused. and only upon
earnest solicitation accepted a gold half
eagle from the lady.
The circumstances of the event had
gone entirely from the old mans memory
when Il few days ago he received a letter
from the American Consul at Paris, for
warded from his old address, Adams, JEFF
fersOn County, n. Y, announcing that a
certain wealthy Frenchman had just died,
and that a provision in his will left $4,000
francs tO lone Hiram A. Reed. who was
master of the schooner Ontario in the
summer of 1881, and who once saved the
life of his Wife"

that summer, MIR. Reed has positive knOwl-
edge of the death of four, and knows the
whereabouts of but one of the two others
his brother, Asa Reed. He has sent to
the Custom House officers at OswegO, and
also to Washington, for copies of his pa
perS, and expects by this means to estdb-
lish his identity, and secure the legacy.

Salmon Fishing in New Brunswick.

IhOoked him just in front of Mowat'S
house /; he rOS to the same small dark
Nicholson fly | had killed the other sal
mon with. His first rush was not rapid
as he started off, but a steady. lasting gait
that showed conscious power. AS he
went on his speed increased, until he had
about sixty yards of line out, which l was
obliged to give him in order not to take
the canoe past the only spot where, for
some distance, we could land. When he
jumped he showed larger than any fish |
have seen, and made me very doubtful of
my ability to land him. AS % as |
reached the beach | started down and be
gan to reel in, but had only gained a few
feet Of line when the fish took another
rush downstream. and for a couple of
hundred yards kept me going attull speed
over a very rough country composed
chiefly of driftwOod, stuinps, and large
rocks. When he halted, which he did
after jumping twice more, [ had about ten
yards OF the line left, and despite my IA

could reel ND. | had hardly gained half
my line when off ven the fish again, aud
| had another f0Ot-race which left my reel
almost bare. At the conclusion of this
burst he jumped again and then began
coming towards me. This is an exceeding
ly dangerous thing for a salmon to do,and
if not soon checked certainly results in his
breaking loose, as the current makes the
line sag downstream and it is sure to catch
on some of the rocks, which ali have their
sharp edges pointed in the direction of
the current. Fortunately the canoe
was some distance above me, and the In
dams brought it over the fish and turned
him downstream before he had done any
harm. He then took refuge behind Il rock
and sIlked for half an hour, | being per-
tectly willing to have him do so until |
could get my wind. 1t took a good deal
of stoning and one pike-pole to start him
going again, but at last, after as arduous
an hour and a half as [ ever spent. during
which the fish had jumped nine times and
fought with indispensable resolution and
intelligence, he was induced to come with

A New Misfortune.

The London Times OF a late date gives
a graphic sketch of The great eruption in
Iceland. 1t began on Easter Monday,
with low rumbling sounds. which seemed
to follow the course of the ranges of hills.
Soon the heavens became dark, and show
ers of ashes began to fall, while the clouds
OF smoke swept down from the mountains
in such volume as to turn the day into
night. and force the inhabitants to light
candles in their houses at Don The ac-
emulation of electricity was very great,
and seemed to be discharged in continu-
Il streams. For several hours during
that day the thickest darkness prevailed,
and when the smoke cleared away the
ground was covered with ashes from one
to eight inches deep. Vegetation was to-
tally destroyed, and the islanders of the
volcanic districts were forced TO flee into
another part of the island, where a little
verdure still remained. This has pro-
duced an overcoming there, and a lack
of provisions and grass, so that the island
is threatened by a general famine. The
lcelanders have sent to England for help,
and subscriptions are being taken UP in
many of the larger cities for their relief.
The number of caiamities which have
lately befallen the world by the unre-
%strainable forces of stature have been both
numerous and remarkable. Twice has
Chicago been almost destroyed by fire,
and Boston has suffered once by the same
fearful scourge. Large districts of cOun-
try in the North have been desolated by
mountain fires, while much larger in the
South have been laid waste by overf1ows.
More terrific storms and whirlwinds have
been known this summer than ever before

GEO. P. RowELL & Co., Al Park Row, New
York. 1t is indeed no surprise that their
house is so prosperous, and that they are the
leading advertising agents in the world. We
would prefer, so far as we are concerned, to
have a column or more of miscellaneous
advertisements from this firm than to re-
ccivc the same amount made up of one d.
rect from each house on their list. The com-
mission allowed is saved Us by losses, as
they pay every cent they contract for, and
pay it promptly, and the keeping of one
open account with such firm is much pleas
antcr than with the thousand persons whom
they send us advertisements for. They do
an honorable, legitimate business on a bust
ness basis. If publishers having dealings
with them van anything in their line-and
they supply everything from a spri>g bod
kin to a cylinder press-types, inks and all
they fill their orders promptly, at manufac-
turers' prices, and we can say that we have
received the best newspaper and book ink
ever furnished us and at a lower price than
we ever bought for elsewhere. The RepubH-
can has had dealings with this house for over
six years, and in all that time we never have
had any reason TO complain of our treatment.

OLD RELICs.--Mr. II. W. Lawson
has number of old relics, and among
the number beautiful pipe in the shape
of head of all Indian Chief with his
crown, carved from pine knot which
was taken from the bottom log of the
foundation of Fort Pickens. This Fort
was built of logs by the Indians in the
year 1866, and was occupied by the red
skius for long time. 1t was in front
of this fort that an uncle of our towns
man, Mr.. James Shillito, was burnt by
these savages in 1867. Another relict
which he has is piece of timber which
was taken from the carriage of the first
cannon that was shot by the Confeder-
ates in their effort to establish a South
ern C0nfcderacy. AS everybody re-
members the first shot was directed
from Fort Moultlic at the United
States man-of-war, the "Star of the
West" while attempting to furnish
supplies to the United States troops,
then quartered in Fort Sumter under
Gen. Anderson.

THE SCARCITY OF MONEY. - The
athens Dolly Georgian asks, "Why is
money scarce?" We can answer for
Abbeville County: Because we have
thrown away hundreds OF thousands OF
dollars in buying, at enormous prices,
what we ought to raise on our farms.
Because we have squandered hundreds
of thousands of dollars in buying
worthless guanos to ruin our Ian Is, and
at the same time neglecting to prepare
fertilizers at our own lots, that would
permanently enrich our soil. Because
Since the war we have thrown away
above all amounts paid back, more than
six hundred thousand dollars on life
insurance. Because we have thrown
away immense amounts in purchasing
worthless lightning rods, useless we'll
pumps, trifiing maps and poor pictures,
at ten times their value. Because thou
sands of our people neglect to sow oats
enough to- feed their stock. Because
thousands of our planters send to the
great North West for all their flour.
Because we all send to Cincinnati for
millions of pounds of bacon. Because
We pay the Western stock raisers hum
dreds of thousands OF dollars for mules,
instead of raising them on our farms,
which could be done at comparatively
trifiing cost. Because We buy more
than we sell. Let US buy less and we
will have an abundance of currency.
We haven't currency, because we send
it away.

WENT FURTHER AND DID WORSE
Mr.. W. II. Pace, who lives near Hodges
Depot, is the owner of one of the finest
t:otters in Abbeville County and per-
haps as good as there is in the State, and
thinking there would be nothing at Alb
beville to compete with his horse took
it to the Greenville Fair where he eX-
pec,ed to see any number of horses
from all parts of the world. Mr.. Pace
had little to say as to the speed of his
horse, but some of his friends quietly
let the secret out, and he could neither
get to show his horse at the Fair as @
trotter, or get a race from any of the
horse jockeys. They were scared of
and Mr.. Pace brough. his horse back
without all exhibition. Last week,
thinking not to be outdone, lie took his
horse to the Anderson Fair, but there
met with the same luck.
