Family RcuniOn.-One Of the most
pleasant reunions in this life, is that of the
family. The family of JACOB MINToN,
Esq, OF Plain township, held one of these
pleasant reunions at the residence of Mr..
LUKE CARR, on Tuesday, 4th inst. which
pondent of the South Toledo Adrertiser !:
Mr.. NJ. came from Morris county, New
Jersey, in 1885 and settled near the center
o. Plain twp, there being at the time but
FIVE or six settlers In the township, and he
ard his wife, Philetta, still live on the
srme place that they then selected for their
home. They are now happy IN their old
age in the fact of their nearness and bright
prospects for their future home " beyond
the river" They have raised large fam
lily, who are all useful and influential mem
bers of society and well settled in life
around them, except their oldest son, Il. r.,
who is professor of mathematics in the
Blackburn University, at Carlinville, Ill.
The occasion of this reunion was one of
deep interest to all present, there being
between 10 and 100 relatives there to par
take of the substantials, set out in the beau
tiful grove adjacent to the house. After
this the time was pleasantly occupied
with music, short speeches, &c. May Un-
Gle and Aunt Minton-as they are called
by all their acquaintances as we'll as rela-
tives-live TO enjoy many more such meet
ings, although it is not likely that the same
company will ever all meet again here
below. Mr.. Thomas and family OF this
place, being relatives, spent the day there,
and returned in the evening feeling we'll
paid for events and associations of time.

A Melancholy Death.-On Tuesday
morning of this week, while WALTER
CUMMINGS, Esq, OF Tontogany, was engag-
ed in doing his morning chores, his wife,
who has for some time been laboring under
an alteration of the mind, took this oppor-
tunity of ending her life on earth, by swal-
lowing the contents OF a four-ounce phial of
deadly drug known as corrosive subli-
mate. The phial was supposed to be near
ly full, and, if so, it contained enough poi
son TO kill fifty persons. On Mr.. Cum
MINGs' return to the house, he asked his
wife ii she was not going to get up and pre-.
pare for breakfast. She said, "No, am
going to die" Mr.. C. wished to know if
she was sick and wanted some medicine
She answered, "No, have just taken my
medicine" She then commenced scream
ing from the terrible agonics OF the drug
but soon became unconscious, and @as re
lieved by death in less than an hour Her
funeral services took place on Wednesday,

Commissioner from this district has ex-
pressed himself, that Mr.. Lavender was

And, believe, he is generally conceded to
have been the best teacher, since the late

There were charges brought against him,
in petition, to have him removed, signed
by names, it has been proven, to have never
been put there with the consent of the per-
sons bearing those names, which, when
brought before the Trustees, were dis
missed. An appeal was then taken to the
School Commissioners, who dismissed the
whole thing, as was published in both the
county papers.
Now, after all this, the Trustees, or a
majority of them, have seen fit to remove
Mr.. Lavender in the face of petition
having majority Of the patrons of the
school, asking that he be retained as teacher.

Lament of the Last Indian.

| saw an aged Indian stand
Upon Pacifc's far off strand,
The sitting sun had fixed his eyes,
His breast was heaving with his signs.
My race is rum" the Indian said,
" My fathers meath the sod are laidn'
The last of all the "red skin race,
He stood alone with upturned face.
"Great Spirit, hear the red mans prayer
Invoked that Indian, standing there,
" Hear my petition, Spirit, great,
Have pity on the red mans fate"'
" I've done with earth.' the Indian said,
" | follow now my fathers dead,
| leave the trail, 'er prairie sand,
To travel that in Spirit land"
Gone gift ask, | ask but one,
Granted that, and then with earth I've
DONE
q" know thy want the Spirit spake,
Tis granted now, behold. partake.
The Indian looked, and at his feet,
He saw a sight that made him leap,
r was whisky, whisky in a jug,
Aud at it Indian took tug.
Soon after. lying on the ground,
Obliyious to all earthly sound,
The dying Indian said an "ugh,"
And down in death he sank keF chug.

HARD YARNS BY AN OLD SALT.

The criticism of an old brother salt en-
courages me to proceed with the detail of
the balance of our voyage to Rio Janeiro.
But | fear, to meet the wishes of an old
salt | shall have to give the reply of the
Chinaman to Yankee Captain, who mad

but who failed to meet his promise viz,

A week had passed, after the occasion of
the falling stars, when We were again called
upon to witness a less awful. yet a mag
niti cent display of the wonders of the sea.
The lookout on the topsail yard, at 10 2. NJ,
sang out: % Breakers ahead"' Knowing
that no land or shoal water had ever been
discovered in our then latitude and longi-
tude, we were taken ali aback. Word was
Immediately sent to the commanding officer.
who at once gave orders to change the
ships course; sail to be reduced and extra
ookouts placed, to report what could be
seen, and the universal opinion was, that
there were breakers in sight; for at the rise
of every wave, 4 bright and distinct light
was seen, Sucn as Is presented DV the sea
breaking over rocks, and to ascertain the
fact, for our own safety and for those who
should pursue this same track, it was deter
mined to approach cautiously. and locate
them on the chart; but as WE approached
nearer and nearer, no noise, no roaring, as
is usually heard by the sea breaking over
rocks or shoals, and finally it was ascer-
tanned that the water for miles was lit up
by an immense body of luminous matter,
often seen even in our salt water bays, and
we sailed boldly INTO the midst of it, until
the light eminating from it enabled us to
read the finest print, and the ship appeared
to be sailing through a sea of fire.
Buckeifulls of the water We're drawn,
and found to contain PARTICLES of a round.
Jelly substance, emitting brilliant light
the moment they We're disturbed. Its depth
appeared TO be about three feet, and under
it and through it, were seen innumerable,
fish, both large and small, darting in all
directions, leaving behind them Il bright
and beautiful streak of light. 1t was
sight worth running the risk of being burnt
up or drowned to witness. One might sail
the ocean over for a hundred years, and
yet never be gratified with such grand
display of Him, "whose works are past
finding out"
