WILLIAM Wilson'S WAY.
The citizens of Rosine and vicinity
were greatly surprised few weeks since,
to learn that William Wilson, a man in
good circumstances, living in a few miles
of this place, had deserted his home and
had gone to near Fountain Head, Tennes-
see, taking with him one Mollie Turner,
a woman of bad character. He, bowev-
er, returned home a short time since, as
all hoped, to make amends for the past,
by doing better in the future But on
last Friday he packed up and started
again for old Tennessee. Should he ever
return to Ohio county again, it would be
well if the good citizens of our county
would remind him that his conduct is
not approved Of

met here on Friday last, to make arrange.

but to arrange a trading house which

| FALSE ALARM.
On Tuesday morning, the 10th instant

were aroused from their sweet places o.

the day., by some one running through
the streets shouting at the top ofh voic'
Sire Fire Fire y On rushing into
the streets, it was found to be a young
Mr.. Raley. dry goods clerk of Mr.. james
Raley IL Son, the store house of whom
he said, was on fire. Before any on
could reach the store, young Raley ha'

of water on the counter, he at once aske'
him ifhe wanted the water. The younI
man excitedly answered that he bad water
And sure enough he had, but it WASH
the water which he had few moment
since drawn from the well. The hous
was soon filed with an excited crowd, al
looking, but in vain, for the fire. By thi
time DR.. Rains arrived, and after quietl
looking around for short time, "diag

the beautiful red rays of the morning su

golden beams on the ceiling. The excl

that it was "better to be scared tina
hurt" L. TIC
