Town Caucus.

Mr.. c. J. Riker started, Monday morn
ing, on his prospecting tour to the Black
Hills. He has gone at the request, and at
the expense, in part, ola number Of per-
sons in this vicinity who intend going to
the Hills this spring if his report should be
favorable. Judging from the published
reports of others who have gone, we do
not think our population will be very
greatly depleted by an exodus to the Black
Hills. Mr.. Riker has had experience in
gold mining and we would be willing to
act on his judgment as to the opportuni-
ties for profitable mining in that locality.
We believe that it is the understanding
that if Mr.. Riker is satisfied with the pros
poets he will remain, if not, will return as
soon as satisfied on that point.

Funerals Of 1870.

Funerals touched weddings at the
point of feasting, and were often very
expensive, snowy, and pompous DC.
casions. In some parts of the coun.
try, especially among the. Dutch Of
Long Island and New York, it was the
custom for young man to lay by his
earnings after coming of age, until i
sufficient sum had accumulated to pro.
vide for him as'respectable" funeral
when lie should come to die. Often.
times the young burgher would re-
serve half of the portion of wine
which he had literally laid in for his
marriage, to be used at the funeral of
himself or his wife. Special invita-
tions were sent out for funerals as for
parties. The clergyman, p;sll-bear-
erS and physicians attending were pro-
vided with scarfs and glove, and some
times each with a Mountaineering !;
while the feast which followed the
interment, at the house of the rel
atives of the deceased, elaborate with
cold roast meats, wines, liquors and
pipes. was not nnfFeauently an occas.
ion of coarse excess, sometimes de-
scendiqg into hilarious and noisy
demonstrations, 4 ':respectable'' fu-
neral of this description might cost
perhaps 81, 900, while the funeral Of
the first wife of Hon. Stephen Van
Rensselaer, is said to have cost not less
than $4,000. f...,ff... a..

Sleep follows. The brain may BE said
to be the part Of the animal economy
which sleeps entirely. During healthy
sleep the brain is to great degree
bloodless, and this is shown Indirectly
by the greater circulation of the blood
in the skin and extremities during
sleep. Healthy digestion, after a fair
ly full but not excessive meal, pro
notes sleep, by the calling off Of the
blood from the brain to the stomach.
A curious but familiar illustration of
the accord between the heart move.
ments and external measured sounds
or motions, is shown when the nurse
stops 'h,lmming'' and the troublesome
baby wakes straight up and provoking
ly opens it's staring eyes. The con.
cert is interrupted and the sleepy &C.
cord of the heart with the successive
cadences of the lullaby is broken.
This is why the cessation of usual
sounds will wake an adult sleeper. 1t.
is even stated that soldiers who have
fallen asleep during cannonade have
awakened when the noise suddenly
ceased" ~ .*',
