Getting his Coffin Made.

[ From the Newport (Pd.) Ne,os.)
An old gentleman residing between
this place and Ickesbnrg had a large
locust tree cut and the trunk taken to a
saw mill and cut into two and one
fourth inch planks about twelve years
ago. These planks he put in dry
place to season, where they remained
until about month ago, when he de-
livered them to cabinetmaker to man
ufacture into coffin for himself, which
was accordingly done. Last week the
coffin was delivered to the old gentle
man, we'll finished and neatly made.
He admired it very much, placing HIM
self in it to see if it was a "good-fit. "
He ordered the lid to be put on that he
might see how it goes to be shut up in
coffin. He was satisfied that it was
right. He then gave orders that they
should bury him in secluded spot in
the woods where the devil could not
find him. After marking out spot
and blazing the trees to the place he
pronounced himself ready to die, say
ing he had made ample preparations

IT'S DUN.-For good, honest,
christian dun, we refer our readers
to the following, copied from the
Boonsboro' Odd Fellow. We hardly
know which to pity the most-the
editor or the reader: ''Gentle reader,
will you be so kind and condescend-
ing, some time during this winter be
fore Christmas, as early as you can,
before you lay this paper down, to
please condescend to descend so
much beneath your native dignity
as to look at that neat little yellow
label on your paper, or the wrapper,
on said paper, and see if the last fig
ure is 5 or 6 !; and if anything below
rs, we want you, just as soon as you
can, to waltz around to this office
and pay up-plank down the spon-
dulix for we want to celebrate Christ
mas with something at least approx
mating a square meal. Come, gentle
readers-just now we can only see a
spare rib and a little sauer krout in
the dim distance. Come ! Come !"

A Singular and Fearful
Death.

The Winnsboro. S. c., News states
that negro boy in Fairfield county
was packed up in a bale of cotton
last week. The deceased was engaged
in packing cotton at Mr. James Jones
press. About a half bale had been
tramped down, aid the other hands
went for more cotton, the deceased
being ordered in the meantime to
drive out some cattle.
On the return of the hands the boy
was not to be seen. The balance OF
the cotton was put in and tramped
but slightly, the bale being light.
The bale was then packed. On re-
mouing it the negro was found dead
in the middle of the bale. An in
quest was held but developed no
facts. 1t is supposed the boy had
entered the box and gone to sleep
and was suffocated.
