Correctly speaking We have preached but one
funeral sermon, although We have seen twenty
one papers consigned to. the tomb, since We have
beeu here. In fact, we have never threatened to
preach the funeral sermon of any paper; but for
the past two or three years, the Wathena Report
er had been in the habit of constantly asserting
that We did, and notifying us that We should
mover perform that service for it. When it final
ly petered, we concluded at least to try our hand
at it. We arc not anxious for newspapers to
play cut; but when their especial mission il to
freeze out the Chief, as has been tho case with
some five or six of the twenty y-one papers above
referred to, We try to be around while the freez-
ing is going on. At least one, and We think two
of the twenty-oue dead papers carried patent
outside.

USKIND-The following is from the graceful
pen Mrs. J. C. Swsyze, editrsss Of the Topeka
Blade:
We suppose now that Stewart is out of newsyaper,
the Doniphan County polecat will turn his tail up
over his back and walk through the County uAmolest
Cd loading the atmosphere with fragrance he de-
lights to revel in.
This is really unkind. We know that The late
Swayze had very IN can opinion Of Stewart, and
expressed it in very mean language; but since
his sudden demise, Stewart has been among tho
foremost in mingling his tears over ahs grave,
and has done his best to ingratiate hinself in tho
good graces Of the heirs. Aud after al this, for
having nothing else to do, will ran. abo.t tho
County with his tail over bis bsek,. like pole
cat, is really too bad. Having PezkDrmsd the
last sad rites to his memory, We :pnsQsse hereaf-
ter to let him alone, as he has NO. neans oS de-
Tending himself; and We ask it - special favor
of Mrs. Swayze, that she retrasa the foregoing
remarks concerning him. Now, wcat yeu do itf

The commission closed their labors on
Saturday and left for Washington ola No
bile. The results achieved by them are
more complete than could have been antici-
dated. The general feeling even among
intelligent Republicans is that these results
will be Of immense advantage to the State.
The commission have been more than ordi-
narily circumspect, and have devoted them
selves in the most laborious manner to their
work. In their innumerable interviews
with delegations, committees, and indl-
viduals OF both parties they have been cour-
teous and patient. 1t is understood that
an ovation was rendered them by the people
of the city, but it was declined with thanks.
The explanation of the Campbell county
mystery is that young man borrowed the
horse and buggy and ran from his pursuers
until he thought it wisest to take to the
woods. No Philadelphia and nobody else
killed. The rascal also abandoned young
wife. >,l 5..

PROSPECT, Va, April 81, 1877.
On Wednesday last negro by the name
OF William Stevens, residing on the Hard
Times farm, near Hampden-Stdney College,
was arrested by Charles Price, Jr.. an officer
appointed for the purpose, for selling to-
bacco stolen by Edmond Brown. 1t APP
pears that Edmond Brown had stolen the
tobacco some six weeks ago, and fearing
detection went to parts unknown. On
Wednesday night and the day following the
arrest OF William Stevens some OF his
friends endearored to rescue him from
the hands Of the officer and behaved
in an insolent manner to the guard and to-
wards the family OF MIR. Charles A. Price,
from whom the tobacco was stolen, curslng
and using abusive language and threaten
ing to rescue Stevens ut the peril OF their
lives, and declaring that they would spill the
blood OF Price and the officer that would
attempt to carry the prisoner before the
magistrate. On Thursday, with additional
guard, Stevens was brought before the
magistrate at Prospect for trial. Two other
negroes tBurwer Terry and Toney Terry
were arrested for interfering with the, Of
ficers Of the law. They were all sent to Jail
for trial in the next County Court.
A Mr.. Walthall, the miller at Nenable's
mill, had very serious accident to happen
to him few nights ago. While returning
home about o'clock at night from the de-
pot, his dog "treed" what he supposed to
be "possum." He climbed some distance
up the tree, and by some mishap fell to the
