NaII0melI IoraI Mems.

A good story is told Of one of our staid though
fun-loving citizens, who seldom indulges in joke
except at the expense Of bis particular friends
and then only on special occasions. 1t appears
that he was walking on Thursday last in the vicin-
ity of Kennebec dam in Augusta, intent on some
lumber speculation IN the furniture line, when an
urchin who appeared to be deaf and dumb, over
took him and handed him a small package, intima-
ting by pantomimic signs that it had been dropped
acc dentally by the gentleman aforesaid, who
vainly endeavored to convince the boy that he had
made mistake as to the ownership of the bundle.
The boy Immediately withdrew to a safe distance,
while the Col. proceeded to examine the package
to ascertain its contents and value, so that 1t might
be returned to the unfortunate orig gnal proprietor.
A last years turnip, of the rutabaga persuasion,
rewarded the search and it was ascertained on
calling to the retreating boy, that he was not
quite so deaf as he was," as he readily re-
sponded, and that quite significantly, to the salu-
tation. The Colonel suddenly remembered that
it was the first day of April

OBITUARY.

Mr.. Geo. s. Siggins died at his
home at West Hickory, on Friday eve.
ming August goth, aged about &C
years.
Mr.. Siggins was n lover of nature
in all her varied forms, and looked
from nature up to natures God. He
was peculiar and original in the bent
of his mind, and, in deeds, was hos
pitable and charitable, and, like Ben
Adhem, of old, "loved his fellow man."
TIE bright, sunshiny poems of Burns
possessed especial charms for him, as
his well.worn copy of those poems
attest. Like the patriach Abraham,
"he died in the presence Of his breth-
ren," aud his body was laid to rest
near the spot where he had lived for
upward of four decades, and among
the home scenes he loved so we'll. His
funeral was largely attended by those
who had known and honored him
through life.
"If justice, temperance, truth, could save
A fellow mortal from the grave,
This grave within its narrow sphere
Could ne'er contain its tenant here"
The services were conducted by Rev.
Mechling, of Fagundus, assisted by
Rev. Lusher, Of the Tionesta charge.
