EDITOR HERALD have neglected
writing for so long, l fear my name
has been forgotten.
News is very scarce just now. A
few items that would have been of in
terest to the public are stale now, and
forbear giving a detailed account of
them.
l refer to the fires at Paradise and
Rochester. But an incident that is
connected with each, 1 will notice.
| read an erroneous statement not long
since, regarding the burning of DIR.
Jackson's property at Paradise. The
article referred to, among other things
stated that the Doctor was absent, at
the time of the burning, and that
nothing whatever was saved. The
contrary however was the case for he
was not only at home but saved a large
portion of his property. The landlord
of the Rochester hotel at the time it
was burned (Mr. Shackleford) was
dumb, having been unable to speak
for number of yeaIs, Willie atlempt-
ing to save a child which he supposed
to be in the building was badly burn
ed, and since his recovery has been
able to "speak as other men,.
The farmers of DUR locality are very
busy just now getting ready for and
planting corn. Wheat looks well and
promises large yield. Some little
trading in real estate, the most impor-
tant being between Mr.. Tolbert Rob-
inson, a retired merchant of Paradise,
and William James, of our neighbOr-
hood. 1t is with much regret We part
from our neighbors the James, and
We hope they will find friends as genial
as they, themselves will prove to be to
all with whom they associate.

lily as it is with profit and pleasure to
your many pupils and friends.
Q. s. Taylor, druggist and apOthe

CONSUMPTION CURED.

An old physician, retired from ac>
tive practice, having placed in his
hands by an East India Missionary
the formula of a simple Vegetable
Remedy, for the speedy and perma-
nent cure of Consumption, Bronchitis,
Catarrh, Asthma, and all throat and
Lung Affections, also a Positive and
Radical cure for Nervous Debility and
all Nervous Complaints, after having
thoroughly tested its wonderful cura'
tive powers in thousands of cases, feels
it his duty to make it known to his
suffering fellows. Actuated by this
motive, and a conscientious desire to
relieve human suffering, he will send

WHEN a Brooklyn woman wants a
new dress and feels little delicate
about asking for it direct, she presents
her husband with a nice beaded shay
ing-paper-case, filled with tissue from
an old paper pattern. The first time
he uses it he notices the little round
holes in the paper and naturally in
quTes the reason, which gives her the
chance to say with regretfnl sigh
that it's only a Domestic Paper
Fashion" that she would have used
some time ago but for the reason that
she saw he was poor just then and felt
as if she ought to economic to help
him along. Noble selfdenial like this
usually fetches things.

May s, 1876.
The recent rains have greatly in
creased the growth of vegetation /;
everything of a verdant nature seems
to be in prosperous condition.
A diversity of opinion exists in re-
gard to tobacco plants, some say the
bugs have devoured the almost entire
crop, while Others contend that an
abundance will be left. From time
immemorial such reports have been
exaggerated, and it is difficult to form
any correct opinion.
A very heavy rain fell at this place
last Saturday night, the same was &C
conpanied by somewhat destructive
wind. A large number of fences were
blown down, and before they could be
re-laid, stock entered, and to some ex-
tent injured crops. A large locust
tree, standing in front of the residence
of Mr.. P. Hooker, was hurled by the
gale across the center of his front
room, but luckily did no serious dam
age.

Tobacco Plants Killed:

We have made diligent inquiry Of
farmers from all parts of the county,
and the universal report is that the
bugs have destroyed nearly all the to-
bacco plants. In some neighborhoods
all the plants have been eaten up.
Nothing like full crop can be set now,
as it is too late to sow and have plant:
in time to set. The prospects are that
not half crop can be planted.

Poetry aud Prose offspring.

The glories of spring time has ever
been favorite theme of the poels. They
glow with rapture when describing how
"Spring unlocks the flowers to paint
the laughing SOIL" but forget that
Death rides on every passing breeze, and
turks in every flower" Yes, the vernal
season however bright and beautiful it
may seem is fraught with perils to the
human race. In our climate it is the
most dangerous to health of any portion
of the year. The sudden changes of the
weather produce Colds, Coughs, Catarrh,
Bronchitis, Rheumatism and Neuralgia,
while the poisonous exhalstions arising
from the earth, induce deadly fevers. At
this perilous season the greatest care
should be exercised and the SEVEN SEALS
OR GOLDEN WONDER, that speedy, certain
and effectual cure for all ailments brought
on by variable weather, or by inhaling
miasmatic vapors, should be kept where
it can be brought quickly into requisition.

A SCANDAL IN HIGH LIFE.
LoNDoN's LATEST SENSATION.

From the Whitehall Review
Some mystery has cnvcoped the recent death OF
wclknown lady, the sistcr-in-aw OF peer. holding
Office at court II has out that the rumors,
which during the last twelve months have connected
the ladys name with that OF certain captain in Her
Majesty's army with whom she said have left hor
home at the conclusion Of a visit of member Of the
royal family at the house OF the peer question,
only correct In far that she did accompany the Of
fcer something which looked very like elopement
This rash STEP however, appears, had for its
object merely the annoyance Of her husband, tho
private detectives employed by the latter having
received conclusive proof of the moral innocence OF
the unhappy lady IN relation to the very gallant officer
who thus did his best the reputation OF the sis
ter OF his host and friend Unfortunately the truth
has to light too late. With the stigma resting
ncr name. tho punishment Of her mad caprice was
that she returned 10 her old home Last month,
just before Der death, she TO the nearest city,
some fifteen miles distant, and there the once gay,
proud beauty away from all her friends and alone
some obscure lodgings, breathed her last II Is only
just that the scandal should be laid at with the
mains OF her who is dead but just how tar that
dnl is deserved is righteous duty to make clear and
hope that the duty has been at last performed
