And now scattered leaves tell the
tale of faded summers glory.
Nice bright counterfeit half dollars
are said to be in circulation.
Our sportsmen are causing the
country to resound with the crack of
their rifles.
The days are rapidly approaching
when the cry OF shut that door will
be very common one.
A number of our citizens availed
themselves Of the reduced excursion
tickets to visit the Centennial this
week.
The hog committee is now holding

Only those who are reckless and
have no regard for their safety, will Mt
tempt to get on or Off railroad car

To help make good times, pay off
your small rs well rs large debts, and
keep the money in circulation. II the
blood in your body circulates freely
you will have good health, and if the
body polite is to have health, money
must circulate constantly. -Tryit.
GUARD YOUR TEMPER.-It is great
folly--it is q species Of insanity, to al
low temper and passion to take the
place of reason. Every one is no
doubt Mt times more or less troubled
by these false instigitors of words.
which when nationally considered are
instantly repudiated, and it may be
with the bitterest regret for their oc-
currence. Persons thus troubled owe
it TO themselves and to those with
whom they have to do, to curb and
control the use of such an improper
and hurtful fault If the practice of
greater care was general the world
would be vastly better Off. Some
people seem TO indulge themselves in
such irrationalty for the purpose of
avoiding actual facts which admit of
no quibble. The practice is pernicious
and vitiates the moral sense of any one
who is so thoughtless rs to Toe victim.
Passionate people never accomplish
my good thing of extraordinary merit.
1t is the cool head that talks, plans
and executes deliberately. This power
properly applied is of inestimable
value to the possessor. All may have
il by the exercise of great care and
thoughtful prudence, which, to some
extent, is duty.

row al axe To chop the tree down, and
the neighbpr accompanied him with
the axe to y log under which Danner
had supposed the rabbit had secretcd
itself, and setting his gun against the
log. he proceeded to examine the space
under it, and found no rabbit. His
companion, an elderly gentleman,
picked up his axe and said he thought
he would go home. He had not pro-
ceeded twenty steps before he heard
sharp report, and turning round, saw
Danner lying on his back with the top
of his head shot away. 1t is presumed
that Danncr, being satisfied that there
was nothing in the tree. reached for his
CUR, pu le il towards himself, and tle
hammer catching and flying back, dis
charged the piece, the load of shot en-
tering his forehead, blowing the top of
the skull oil. A coroner's jury was

cording to tha facts. Danner was an
old gunner. and had much experience
in the handling of fire arms. lie leaves
