- Elmore, w. has neither lawyer, doctor,
town debt, nor newspaper, but has money in
its treasury.
-"Debt is the worst kind of poverty" Ex-
cept the poverty which prevents man from
getting into debt.
- The st. Louis Globe thinks that Norway,
where the days are three months long, is the
best place to start daily paper.
Why is a newspaper like tooth brush ?
Because every one should have one of his own,
and not be borrowing his neighbors.
- 1t would be great convenience if far
mers generally would have their names pain
ted upon the gates in front of their residences.
Strangers often have much difficulty in finding
persons of whom they are in search, which
would be obviated by this course. Besides,
nice gate, with the name of the occupant, adds
greatly to the appearance of place, and looks
as though the inmates were not isolated from
the outside world.
= The Lynchburg (Va.) Evening Star says:
On Wednesday last two children of MIR. Sam
uel Clay, who resides in Campbelle county,
about seven miles from this city, missed his
two children-Etta, aged seven and Charley,
aged about ten years. The most searching in
vestsation failed to elicit anything as to their
whereabouts, and the latest tidings we have
been able to obtain shed no ray of light upon
this singular case.

Mr.. Henry Watterson, of the Louisville
Courier-Journai, does not seem inclined to rush
into third party movement just at present
He says: "On the whole, Murat Halstead's
scheme of third party movement, looking to
nominate Charles Frances Adams for President
and by getting him early in the field to force
the regular Republicans to take him, just as
the Democrats were forced to take Greeley,
does not strike u.s. That scheme cannot be
executed twice and on different political sects.
1t failed badly in '72, and it will fail worse in
'76 Still, there is much true inwardness in 1t,
and true inwardness is good thing"
"A thrilling incident occurred recently at
the copper mine near Villa Rica. Several mi
ners were engaged in clearing out deep shaft
by blasting. One of the men had placed a
lighted time-fuse in the blast hole, and was
being drawn out of the shaft by windlass,
when the running gear suddenly got out of or
der and refused to perform its office. There
the man was suspended for several terrible mo-
ments. His life hung upon thread, and an
ther minutes delay would have ended his exis-
tence; but with great presence of mind, ne
leaped to the bottom Of the shaft, distance OF
twenty feet, snatched the burning fuse from
its position, and thus escaped catastrophe.
He had been literally within one minute OF
death.
AT the Lexington and Concord centennial
celebrations, the selectmen of the two towns
took measures to prohibit the sale of any in
toxicating liquors there during the day. An
indignant topper has published a remonstrance
against such prohibition in future ceebra-
tions of similar kind, and fortifies his argu-
ment by citing military order, dated July 4,
177s, in which Gen. Washington said {: 10
day being the anniversary of independence
you will be pleased to have it taken notice OF
by discharging thirteen pieces of cannon ct
one o'clock. wish We had it in our power to
exhilarate their spirits upon the occasion, but,
unfortunately, our stock is too scanty to per-

- The marriage of Miss Ida Greeley, eldest
daughter of the late Horace Greeley, to Col.
Nicholas Smith, of Covington, Ky, who
served throughout the war in the Confederate
