That's right, little redbreast,' said

Like a widower who was married

out an idea beyond the qualification

vanquiahed away into the past some

80 Whom YOU find YOU have dor

S7- Whom you find you have done
a wrong, wright it That is honor
a6le and manful La this spirit. the
Legislatures Of Wisconsin and Min
nesota have just modified their laws
of last year against the railroads,
clipping off some of the too-sharp
corners and removing some Of the OPP
pressive burdens. La this they have
been wise. The Legislature of
Illinois would give US It's first evi-
dence of wisdom by doing the same
thing. The present Railroad law, as
is now very apparent is "too much
of good thing" A. it now stands,
it hurts he railroads much, but hurts
tne D9sr interests or inc otase more,
and prudence and justice dictate a
modification. - CHICAGO Journal

supernumerary fell faintiog to the

the poor woman had boen without
food for three days, and, on going to
her lodgings, Mr.. Jarrett's messenger

dying with consumption, and her
mother and four children all in a
state of misery and restitution. A
collection was taken up at once
among the actors, and the immediate

sG~On the last day of FEBRUARY,
near Greenfield, Mo-, some miners
struck, only four feet below the SUR
face, q chunk of lead which has not
yet been taken up, but has been un-
covered sufficiently to show that it is
six feet in width, about two feet in
thickness, and, so far. about nine fees
in length. Parties who have exam
ined it estimated its weight at from
IS 600 TO $4,000 pounds. About forty
yards from this in sinking . shaft six
feet in diameter, q boulder of lead
WAS struck which covers the entire
bottom Of the shaft, SO thsti It's length,
breadth and thickness can only be
guessed at.

fade into eternity. The first death in
the new year was that of the beloved
| wife of Mr.. John w. Sunderland, an
account of which has been published.
This week we announce the death OF
Reece Duvall, who died last Saturday,
in the 10th year of his age. Reece, as
everybody called him, was man OF
peculiar Wickedness, but barring all
this, he possessed large heart, and
many good traits. Billy Hargrave, the
little colOred barber, died last week of
scrofula of the spine. Billy was one of
the best colored boys we ever knew,
known and liked by all our people
His remains were buried according to
the rites of st. Peters Lodge of Ma

and also having passed through some

Alf. back again, but sorry 10 learn of
the death OF his good wife, the daugh-

The Bull Run Grindstone, of whcih
Pete was to have been the crank, has

learn them, are that it died bornin.'
Where are your noble constituents,
Pete? and Nuzum, where are your
