HAPPY Family Reunion.

At the residence of Mr.. JOSEPH
VANDEN, on Front street, Thursday,
his descendants met to celebrate
his SSth birthday. Mr.. VANDEN is
one of our oldest and most respect
ed citizens. He was born at Am
sterdam, Holland, in the year 1877.
He came here in 1871, and in 1914
was married to MARY, daughter of
CHRISTOPHER RANDALL, she being
eight years his junior. They are
both still living. having lived together
sixty-one years, and being the par
enss of quite q family of children.
The children are JAMES VaNDES,
aged So; Mrs. JOANNA c. RATHBURN.
aged 81: Mrs. MARY A. KERR, aged
"a; Mrs. SUSAN BECK, aged 81:
JNo. c. VANDEN, aged as years,
and JOSEPH VANDEN, aged 46 years.
There are forty grandchildren,
twenty seven of whom were present
on this occasion, and eight great
grandchildren. "And the children
to the third and fourth generation
were brought upon Joseph's knees
MIR. VANDEN first settled, when he
came to Gallipolis, upon the public
square, in the old block house there
on. He served as soldier in the
war of 1872, and has attended nearly
every election since, voting intelli
gently upon all questions at issue.
Though verging upon four score
years and ten, he possesses unusual
vigor and bids fair to live years yet.
We hope he and his aged wife, who
is also quite vigorous, may live to
bless many grandchildren and great
grand children yet. We look upon
them as the only links connecting us
with the forgotten past, and can not
be spared without being sorrOwfnlly

A COOL thief entered the dwelling
house of Mr.. LANG HALLIDAY, in
the lower end of the city, about nine
o'clock on Saturday evening. He
entered at the front door, went up
stairs, took cursory examination of
the contents of q bureau, took a
pocket-book containing about five
dollars and lady's gold watch val
ued at $40, and made his exodus at
the back door. The family were in
a front room at the time, but did not
hear anything unusual, and only
knew of the burglary when about to
retire by seeing the rear door I'M
fastened. 1t was cool, calculated
and the thief certainly had wealth
of assurance.

Dress in Church.

Apparently the ladies who listen to
the sermons of the Rev. Mr.. Talmage
have not learned that black is the most
fashionable color for church wear. for he
declares that: There seems to be, in
the churches, a great strife raging. 1t is
an Austerlitz OF ribbons. The carnage of
color is seen all over our religious assem-
blages. Along on the outskirts of the Sab
bath audiences, you see here and there a
picket of fashion, but down in the middle
of the church are the solid columns, blazing
away through the service. Five hun
dred broken and contrite hearts" COW

lowers of the meek and, loWly Naza-

more, he says: We want a great eccle-
siastical reformation iu this matter
of Sabbath accouterment. Shoe these
religious peacocks out of the house OF
God. By your example, make subdued
and modest costume more popular than
gaudy apparel. Do not put so much
dry goods on your back that you cannot
climb into glory. You can not sail into
the harbor of heaven with such a rig
cling as that. They would level their
runner. Coming up to the celes

Not a Grasshopper.

Colonel William M. Grosvenor, contrib
utes an elaborate article to the New York
Tribune, in which he maintains that the
Missouri grasshopper is nota grasshopper,
but locust. He lays down these four
propositions
the yonng Of the Rocky mountain locust (AcT1dtun
spretus), Matched mis- Spring from eggs deposited
during the great Invasion last Fall.
2. These insects have appeared In the narrow belt
already described, but will nut get wings, nor be
able to travel much beyond it. before the latter par
OF June.
8. The young locust, Matched IN this climate, is
neither as active nor voracious as the original
stock, cannot reproduce ITSELF has already begun to
die out in great numbers. and can still less endure
the more nncongenlal climate farther eastward.
4. No. injury of consequence Is TO be apprehend-
ed at any point farther east than Sedalia or Dee
Moines and even west of that line the damage will
bemuch less than it was In the same localities last
year.
Professor Riley, the eminent entomolo-
gist, contributes still more elaborate arti-
Gle to the Prairie Farmer in which it is
insisted that this non-r reproductive pest
cannot come any further east, They are
now much farther from their bad land
home than usual, and quite as far east as
they were ever known to be before. The
damage last year is roughly estimated al
$5O,0OO,0OO. The scare Colonel Grosvenor
attributes to misapprehension, gubernatori
al piety, and grain bulls"
There are two kinds of hoppers, closely
resembling each other in appearance, bu
wide apart in destructive power. Beside
the locust, which dies in the fall, after lay
ing myriads of eggs, there is the ordinary
puny and almost harmless grasshopper
which hybernates aud comes out in the
spring more formidable. apparently, thar
the young locust. The frightened farmer
confounded the two and took alarm.
1t may be that Colonel Grosvenor take
too hopeful view of the situation, but i
is reasonably certain that the prospect
far more encouraging now than it was sup
posed to be earlier in the month of May.

To F. NJ Bridges.
hereby give you notice that the Rock

under control of the Federal court at Chi
cago, and any attempt by you to levy on
the property of said road for taxes, or in
any manner Interfere with the same, will
be considered in contempt of court, and be-
fore you make an attempt to levy on said
property you had better take good counsel
l have notified w. H. Ferry, receiver, of
your demand for taxes.
G. A. MCLAUGHLIN, Agent

ing said taxes, and [ desire to know if |

what would be my best course to pursue.

Very respectfully, +. MBRIDGEs,
Sheriff and Collector.
In answer to the above the Attorney
General sent the following communications
f. M. Bridges Sheriff and Collector, Greene County
DEAR SIR: Your letter of the 9th inst
is received. In reply | would say that
Judge Treat, of the United States court
for the Southern Distri Of Illinois, holds
that the fact that a railroad is in the hands
OF a receiver who does not pay its
taxes, it would not constitute a con
tempt OF court for the collector
to levy upon and sell the property of the
company in the hands of receiver to pay
the same, have no doubt that the UUi.
ted States circuit court for the Northern
District OF Illinois will hold the same.
Your proper course is to demand the taxes
OF the receiver aud notify him that it they
are not paid it will be your duty to levy
upon and sell the property of the company
for the purpose.
Yours, etc., JAMES X. EDsALL.
