SUDDEN DEATH OF A YOUNG MAN.
One of the saddest events which we
have had occasion to note, occurred in
our vicinity on Tuesday evening last,
being the sudden death of Mr.. Frank
II. Craighill, son of w. n. Craighill,
of this town, and brother to Col. w. Z.
Craighill. The circumstances of his
decease were peculiarly distressing
He was living on his farm near" Bloom
cry Mills" in this county. On the
evening of Tuesday, at about halt past
six o'clock, he was observed stabling
his horses for the night, and as he did
not return to the house within reason
able time, as he was accustomed TO do,
alarm was created, search was institu,
ted, and, at few minutes before nine
o'clock, his lifeless body was found
lying on the ground in or near the
barnyard. He was subject to attacks
of epilepsy or some similar affection,
and the supposilion is that one of these,
brought OH by over-eXertion, caused his
death. He was in the goth year Of his
age, beloved by his family and relatives
and held in the highest esteem by a
large circle of friends and acquaintances,
young and old. He was a conscien-
tious commitment of the z. Z. Church,
and possessed admirable qualities-a
heightened christian gentleman; his un-
timely death is sincerely mourned by all
who knew him. A large number of
his family and intimate associates as
sembled at clock on Thursday after
noon, and with heavy hearts and tear
full eyes consigned his remains to the
grave.-Free Press.

IT, Our solemn friend, Chief Justice
Rodgers, Of Kerneysville, has sent us a
cluster of tomatoes which is rather fun
ny freak of nature, from its resemblance
TO a human face. Some who have seen
it say its the very ditto Of the Judge
himself, but we cannot see the likeness,
except in the size and shape Of the nose.
1t has been some time since we saw our
friend, and in the interval he may have
altered; we hope not, for we should be
sorry if anything serious was tomato
with him.

E@CApr. JOHN AvIs.-The Staunton
Tindieator gives the following version
of the difficulty:
The particulars which we learn from
Mr.. Moore, proprietor of Orkney
Springs are, that five months ago Capt,
Avis, who kept the store for MIR. Moore
refused, by his direction, to sell liquor
to johnson who was man given to
intoxication. Johnson then attacked
Avis but got worsted and has made
various threats since. On Friday he
started to the store saying, that he
would kill Avis before he slept that
night, and few moments afterwards as
Avis came out to attend to customer,
waiting outside, he attacked him. In
the fight Avis threw him and seizing a
rock struck him several times on the
head. Johnson who had been on a
spree for several weeks refused to have
his wounds attended to, and kept up
his drinking, dying in thirty six hours
after, Of Inflammation of the BRAIN
Capt. Avis was bailed to appear at a
legal investigation of the matter.

BE- DoN'r.-Don't sap the founda-
ton of the town you live in by sending
away for everything you want.
Don't think what comes from abroad
is necessarily better than what you can
find at home.
Don't starve out your home mechan-
les by sending elsewhere for what they
would give at as small price.
Don't kill our home schools by send
ing your boys and girls abroad to be ed
ucated and acquire accomplishments
that you may wish they had never &C
quired.
Don't Think your boy and girl educa-
ted until you are sure they can read
their diplomas.
Don't think it absolutely necessary to
your happiness or your health that you
should spend your summer at distant
watering places when there are SO many
inviting and charming resorts nearer
home.
Don't spend all the funds at your dis
posal, at these watering places until you
have paid your honest debts. Then you
will enjoy yourself better,
Don't think you are contributing TO
your health by spending the night IN
dissipation at those places and sleeping
the better part OF the day. You could
do that just as well at home.
Don't imagine girls, every man with
a swallow tail coat a god to be worship
