MIR. EDIToR:-Are our merchants
ana business men not patriotic
enough to close their places of bus
mess during the hour or two that
will be necessary to decorate tho
graves of the noble dead. /!
During the later years of our re-
cent civil war, those Of our citizens
who did not have a hankering to
''face the music were very patri-
otic, and would ''come down" with
the 'needfnl; : not even they who
carried arms in our, defense were so
patriotic. They coald,. and did,
ever "spout" of American freedom
aud liberty. When the ''boys in
blue started for the front, these
men breathed sincere prayers Tor
speedy close of the war and their
safe return. In all this they were
truly sincere; and yet how soon
their gratitude and patriotism have
died away. General apathy, or
something of the kind seems, to have
come over these once apreciative
and prayer-hreathing souls.
Friends, let us arouse ourselves
from this moral and patriotic leth-
argy, and take the lead in all meas.
ures taken to honor our fallen faith
ers aud brothers. lie. us, as
decoration day each year approach
es, recall the memories of but few
years past, and rise in one grand
mass to tender to the dead and
t cir living friends our testimonials
of esteem and regard.
Merchants, mechanics, and every-
one, let us rest from our labor long
enough to pay them due respect.
MERCHANT.

to ride some distance from town,
and found that the buggy would fire.
quently be covered with chinch bugs
which seemed to hyin greatnumbers
in the air. These, doubtless, have
reached their maturity, and will
soon pass away: but if they deposit
eggs to hatch before harvest, which
is no more than reasonable, our
fields may again be. spread with
desolatiou.

OUR streets were on last Sun.
day the scene of a little disturbance.
The members of the Primitive Meth
odlst Conference, after services in
the church, went out into the streets
and kindly invited'all to join them
in the worship of God. During
some remarks, which were made by
Rev. Sparrow, a man named Nc
Arval interrupted, and tried to
draw the speaker into a wrangle.
Failing in this, he withdrew and
hltched up his team. A large
crowd of people had by this time
assembled to join in the worship,
and McArval, in order to disperse
them, drove his team with all possi-
bic force into their midst. Itwas
only by the interference of the CON
stables that he was prevented from
driving his horses dashingly into the
crowd, and running over some who
would have failed to escape. Such
men ought to know that our citi
zens have rights which they are
bound TO respect, and a confine-
ment in our city Jail would have
been as little as justice could have
demanded of him.

A collection having been made by {
committee of citizens for the purpose OF
defrsying the burial expenses of VIM.
Carver, deceased, aud said Carver no,
having been buried by said committee
according to funeral notice, they deem
the following explanation necessary:
The collections and subscriptions were
as follows: Fifty-six dollars in cash or
Its equivalent; twenty-five dollars from
miners at the Raymond & Ely, with T.
j. Andrews as security. payable on next
payday; and nine dollars subscribed bnt
not paid in-the whole amounting to
ninety dollars in gold coin. The coilec.
ton was then closed. as contract had
been made with Mr.. Louis Betz 10 con-
DUCT the funeral for that amount,
At the last moment Mr.. Betz refused
either to line or trim the coffin. or 10 per.
NIT the use of the hearse until the mn.
collected nine dollars were paid to him,
although he acknowledged that the
money ives good. Aud, in a ct of an
ger, said Betz got jon wagon. drove to
the hospitsi, and placed the body in an
uniined pine coffin, made hastily of inte.
rior rough lumber.
Then, against the protest of three me-
chanics, who then and there, with oil
necessary materials and tools on hand,
offered to line and trim the coffin, and to
give the body a Christian burial, at their
own expense, drove the corpse off in the
Job wagon and buried it as he would the
carcass of dog.
The committee will repay to all their
due proportions of moneys received.
Some little expenses of advertising, trim
mings, etc, were incurred.
