An old pioneer Gone.

Just as 1876, is receding from our view and
the new year is appearing, we are called up
on TO chronicle the death of JOHN WOOD
WORTH, who died at his residence in Orwell,
Dec. 9th, in his 74th year. He was born in
Wooster, State of New York, and emigrated
to Ohio with his father-Rev. Joshua Wood
worth, Baptist minister-in the year 1911
After residing a number OF years in New
Lyme, he purchased a wild tract Ofland in
Orwell, and moved onto ii in 1888, where he
has resided until the day Of his death. His
widow still survives him at the advanced age
Of three score years and ten. They raised a
family of nine children to men and women
grown. eight of whom are living. About a
year ago the deceased fell and received severe
injuries, from which he gradually failed un.
til quick consumption terminated his earth
ly existence. He was an honest, industrious
citizen and a kind and obliging neighOor
"Uncle John" as he was familiarly called
will be much missed among the circle of his
his children with their companies came to
the old homestead to have one more family
reunion on this side the river.
He was conscious to the last. When told
that he was dying, he remarked-looking at
his hands-I do not see the blood settling un-
der my nails. After bidding his family and
friends an affeotionate farewell he peacefully
fell asleep.
His remains were taken to New Lyme for
interment. The funeral services were held
at the F. W. Baptist Church. Rev. G. G. Wa
tiers OfOrwell delivered an excellen discourse
from the 18th verse of the 9Oth Psalm.
Sincere thanks are rendered to neighbors
and friends for their kindness during the last
sickness and burial of the deceased.

Happy Inauence Of a Great Npeceac,

For the preservation or recovery OF health
and strength, the diet should be wholesome
and nutritious. When IL happens that the
atmentRry processes are disturbed by inn
proper or half1nasticated food, the best rem
edy for the evil results Of abusing the diges-
tive organs is HOstetter's Stomach Bitters, a
most agreeable, prompt and gentle remedy
dyspepsia, and for the bilious and evacuative
Irregularities which result frOHFit. The liver
and bowels. in common with the stomach
experience its beneficient Influences The re-
fuse of the system is carried OFF through its
natural outlet, a healthy flow and secretitiOn
of the bile is promoted, and powerful impe-
tus is given to assimilation in consequence
OF its use. It healthfully stimulates the
bladder and kidneys when they sre inactive
and by its tonic and regulating action fOrtifies
the system against malaria.

The Calcasieu Log Case.
ILake CHARLES Echo, Sent. ~

According to advertisement, U. S.
Marshal Wharton commenced last
Friday, at the Court House, the sale
of the logs sequestered in the suit of
the United States rs. Joseph Hampton
ct ais, pending in the U. s. Circuit
Court in New Orleans. The sale oc-
cupied four days, closing last Tuesday.
Special agent NJ. A. Carter, on whose
affidavit the writ of sequestration
issued, and under whose directions
the entire log raid has been conducted,
bid in nearly all the logs in the name
of the government. A large number
of mill and log men attended the sale,
but there was no competition between
them. It became so evident, from
the start, that the government in
tended to buy in nearly all the logs,
or run the prices above the means Of
our impoverished people to pay in
cash--the sale was for cash on the
spot-that after few efforts there
was little or no bidding except Mr.
Cartel's stereotyped bid of ten cents
per log, from which he dropped some
| times to five cents, when it becam,
apparent that no one would bid agains
him. The sale was made according
to about ninety inventories, and EN-
braced total of eighty nine Thousand
and forty eight logs, Of which all bu
eight thousand FIVE hundred ant
twenty six were bid in by " the gov
ernment," nearly all of them at al
average of ten cents per log. Th
few persons who bought logs in It'd
water were compelled to pay abou
seventy cents per log.

DONALDsONy1ILE, LA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6 1877

Chief Engineer Cronin believes the
fire to have been burning hours be-
fore it was discovered, and that it
was the work Of an incendiary and
the belief is general that the fire at
the stable was purposely set. The
loss is variously estimated from
81 200, 900 to sl,5OO,OOO, the latter
figure being probably not too high.
Proposals for temporary roof to the
Patent Office have been already called
for and Congress will be urged to
make an immediate appropriation for
rebuilding. About $4,000 models
were destroy ed, but the most of them
can be duplicated if thought neces-
sary. Buildings will at once be rented
to temporarily accommodate the cler-
ical force burned out.
1t is the impression that Gen. Stur-
ges is warming Joseph and his
braves. He seems to take no prison
ers, except horses, of which the vari-
Gus detachments in pursuit have cap
tured about 600. There are appre-
tensions that he may finally make
his escape across the border after the
bad example taught by Sitting Bull,
and with other Northern tribes re-
ported rife for revolt, unite with the
latter and make common cause
against us.
The warriors now in this city at
the request of Gen. Crook number
about twenty-five and have among
them, Spotted Tail and Son, REQ
Cloud, Swift Bear, Red Bear, He
Dog, and others where names are
familiar as household words. Theil
visit is in relation to their proposed
removal to a new reservation on thu
Missouri river.

PRoFANITY.-We are emphaticaliy
in the age of profanity, and it seems
to us that we are on the topmost cur.
rent. One can not go on the street
any where without having. his ears
offended with the vilest words, and
his reverence shocked by the most
profane use of sacred names. Nor
does it come from the old or middle
aged alone, for it is q fact that the
younger portion of the community are
most proficient in degrading language.
Boys have an idea that it is smart to
swear that it makes them manly, but
there never was greater mistake IN
the world. Men, even those who

clings the most closely and increases
with years. It is the most insidious
of habits, growing on one so invisibiy,
that almost before one ia aware be
becomes an accomplished cursor.
