WALNUT. April 18th. 1876.

WALNUT. April 18th. 1876.
Beautiful spring. All nature
seems to rejoice in the change from
the disagreeable past.
Mrs. Poorman, daughter of Rev.
Siders. is convalescing from a low
stage Of bilious pneumonia.
Rev. p. Hummer, of Walkerton.
will favor us with scriptural dis
course next Saturday evening and
Sabbath.
Rev Duckworth breaches next
Sabbath evening. We hope his flock
on that occasion, as far "a practicable
will be present.
Mr.. Goldsmith. one OF our mer-
chants, has packed his goods and re-
turned to Rochester, leaving S. Body
to wholly represent the mercantile
business OF the place.
DIR. Personett has actually left
our village. Moved near Maxim
kuckee lake yesterday. Hope the DR.
may favor the people there with his
ability as we'll as he did here. He is
not so far away perhaps but that we
may have the pleasure OF meeting
him occasionally.
Last Sabbath Rev. Siders deliv-
cred lecture on the subject of Eas-
ter Sunday. but did not say anything
concerning eggs. Wish he had told
his hearers that it was wrong to steal
eggs for that occasion, and perhaps a
few OF US would not be so heavy
losers in the future.
Walnut, having used all the pub
lie money for school during the past
term, has now gone in support of a
subscription school, to be taught by
J. F. Bunnell. Even those who have
no children to send have donated lib
orally for the general benefit of edu-
cation. We hope they may be bless
ed with good school.
The Walnut school, taught by II.
Shakes, closed last Friday. Many
patrons were present, besides a good
ly number Of teachers and other per-
sons from distance, all of whom
seemed highly gratifled to meet the

cutor, but after mature deliberation
the matter was dropped
On last Wednesday afternoon
there was a trial Of plows on the farm
of Isaac Hams, adjoining town. A
goodly number OF farmers were
present and apparently deeply inter
ested. Benona Jordan, Merrill Will
liams and Elias Hess were selected as
judges. and we believe the following
statement Of the relative. merits Of
the plows tested is correct:
"Red Jacket" Canton, O., cut 8 in.
deep, II in. wide and turned 15i in
ches. Draught, 4OS lbs.
solver chilled" No. 20, South
Bend, Ind, cut st in. deep. 10 in wide
and turned II inches. Draught, 400
Tbs.

Ind, cut st in. deep. 10t in. wide and
turned 164 inches. Draught, 400 Tbs.
"Cast Steel Combination, Misha-
waka, Ind, cut 81 in. deep. IL in. wide
and turned Is (really ID inches.
Draught, 40S Tbs.
Warsaw, center draught, War
saw, Ind. cut in. deep. 104 in. wide
and turned Is inches. Draught, 456
The &C. c.. c." was decided supe-
rior i'm point of draught. strength and
durability. but the Adams" was pro-
nounced the best in soc, being the on
ly pillow on the ground provided with
a sod MOLE board. We discovered,
however. that every pillow had its
friends, and while one farmer was
loud in his praise OF certain kind,
another was just as loud i'm his con-
demnation OF it. Persons will dis
agree. even in the matter of plows,
and we are perfectly willing for a
man to select his own implements, if
he will use them himself. We are re-
quested to state that the &C. c. c.
pillow was the only one sold on day OF
the trial. aud that this kind, the "Oli-
yer chilled" and Warsaw" are for
sale in Argos, by J. n. Hess & Co.

had intended to go, and perhaps had

Mr.. Shank, from Bucyrus, arrived
here and identified the deceased. by

lived with sister on his farm. He
was supposed to have been partially
insane when he started for Chicago
last January. He had no business to
call him there, but went to see the
place. The railroad ticket found in
his pocket. was issued on the ODD of
January, probably the very day he
was drowned. His friends knew the
amount of money he took with him,
and from the amount found on his
remains he had spent less than -
above the cost of his railroad tickets.
His brother-in-la who arrived
here on Saturday morning said that
a brother of deceased went to Chica-
go about two years ago, and was
killed there-it is supposed muir

1t is impossible TO tell how he got
in the river; but it is probable that
he fell from the platform of a rail
road car, when crossing the river on
the railroad bridge in this city.

Found Drowned.

Last Thursday afternoon, while Mr.
Emanuel Reynolds was chopping
wood on the bank Of the Yellow
River, a short distance south OF this
city, he saw what he supposed to be
the body of dead man floating
down the stream. He followed the
object until he saw it lodge against
the limbs of tree near the brewery.
About dusk. that evening, he came to
town and told Sheriff Fink and other
citizens that the body Of a dead man
was lodged in the river near the
brewery, and wanted some persons
to go and help take it out. The
story was at first considered a joke
but from Mr.. Reynolds earnestness
in repeating the story, he finally
made his hearers believe that he was
in earnest. Sheriff Fink, with Messrs.
Reynolds. John Wright, Theodore
Mclaughlin and Albertas Reeve pro-
cured Mr.. Reeves boat and went
down the river with lights, until they
arrived at the place designated by
Reynolds, where they found the body
OF man in an advanced state OF de-
composition. They drew him to the
shore and brought him to the city.
The coroner being sick, an inquest
was held over the body by Esq. KEEL
ley, and jury composed Of Aaron
Renberger, G. Oscar Pitcher, ID. X.
Morris, A. l.. Alleman, II. McCance
and l.. Shakes. The substance of
the verdict OF the jury was, that de-
ceased came to his death by some
cause unknown to them that he
was supposed to have been drowned.

about 80 or 40 years, was decently
