OBITUARY.

Samuel Conrad Vinegar was born
in Fort Ann, Washington Co., n. Y,
Sept. Sth, 1918.
He was married to Jane Eft Mead
Jan. 18th, 1885, and soon after removed
to Ellery, Chatauqua Co., N. Y, where
were born to them three children, a
son and two daughters.
In 1914 he again removed to South
port, (Kenosha) Wis, coming all the
way by team and arriving at his des-
tination with but two shillings left in
his pocket. But by industry and econ
omy he quickly established his trade as
wagon maker, and soon secured per-
manent home. Misfortune, however,
soon overlook him in the loss of his
wife who died June 18th, 1916. He
was again married to Eliza Ann Leon
ard, April 18th, 1S47. AS the fruit of
which marriage, there were born to
them ten children, seven boys and
three girls, making him the father of
thirteen children-of these five have
died. Robert the oldest son being the
only survivor Of the first family. Ed
win the oldest Of the second marriage,
was killed in the battle of Kenesaw
Mountain.
MI. Vinegar was blessed with an
apparently robust constitution, and
usually enjoyed good health. The ter
mination of his life was therefore a
great surprise to all. He died Nov
10th, 1877, after a painful illness of
10 days.
Of his life and character the people
of Kenosha will gladly bear faithful
testimony. For nine years he was
connected with the Kenosha TELE-
GRAPH as proprietor, being success
sively associated with Leander Stone
and S. S. Schoff. His management of
that paper was with credit to himself
and gave general satisfaction.
He was man universally acknowl-
edged to be of sterling worth and stern
integrity Of character. Being of re-
firing disposition he never became
prominent in councils among men, but
by his uniform industry, sound judg-
ment and answering fidelity to the
right, he commanded the respect and
love Of all. He became a Christian
land united with the Babtist Church in
kenosha in 1850, III which fellow
ship he lived and died having won its
sincerest confidence and borne its
highest official honors as a layman.
His funeral was attended by large
number of people who thus expressed
their appreciation Of the life and char
acter of one who had proved himself
lin the highest sense q Christian man.

Novel entertainment.

A novel entertainment will be given
by the ladies of the Methodist Church
to their friends and acquaintance this
evening at the residence of George
Hale. The novelty will consist princi-
pally in no one speaking, ''the silence"
being "broken only by the rustling of
dresses, the coughs, laughs, or grunts
of the company and Conformation
conveyed only by mods, winks, or
grimaces," and "tWo datnab bells" "sta-
toned in the house as officers to pre-
serve the mum decorum, or in case of
the violating Of the same, to present a
receptacle for the fine imposed for vo-
cal transgression. AS "all sinners
desire to corrupt others, SO it is expect
ed, nay hoped by the treasury depart
ment that every sinner will endeavor
to provide others to q like offense.'
'Those who come early will see all the
fun. Those who come late will never
know how much they have lost"

Samuel 2. King, halls from the clas-
sic village of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
On Saturday he came to this city and
put up at the City Hotel, where he soon
excited suspicion by offering for sale a
number Of valuable robes for a merely
nominal price. Information was con-
veyed to the Sheriff who arrested him
on suspicion and telegraphed the police
authorities of Milwaukee. Monday
morning chief Of Police Beck, came
down and easily identified the man as
a notorious thief and swindler, whose
presence was needed in Milwaukee to
answer to number of charges of like
nature. On being taken to the Jail he
succeeded in removing his moustache
and destroying some of his clothing i'll
order to escape recognition, but all to
no purpose. He was conveyed to Mil
Waukee by the authorities last Monday.

love to be shopping in Autumn weather:
Come Friend, suppose then we go together,
To the House of Fisk, on the Market Square,
Their Goods are the Best and their Prices fair;
Like trip to the Fairy Land twill seem,
Or the fancies wild. of Beautiful Dream;
There are Brilliant Birds, of plumage rare,
Wings Feathers and Flowers, they all are there;
Flowers more Stylish, Feathers much Brighter,
Than I've formerly bought of Field s. Letter;
When visiting Paris, awhile ago,
Saw nothing surprising Fislls Dainty Show,
Of B0nnetS of every Style and Shape,
That Miliner's hands can possibly make
And Round Hats of such unique formation,
[ have never seen in any Nation.
They have Canvas now, with Woods dark and
light;
For making the Mats which are always bright;
Their New Cl0aks too, have SO Stylish an Air,
I've fully decided to buy mine There
The ClOalings are just what they seem to be,
Firm, Glossy, Handsome, from all Shoddy free
Many useful things, in the stock Wen Spy,
Which are not quite so pleasing to the eye;
For the Fisk Underwear, as everyone knows,
Has long been the Best, that the Market shows
Stockings and Yarns for the winter wear,
Poor Old Jack Frost, will be sure to scare;
MY Friend then let us run in There some day,
You know so often were passing that way;
They are always Ready, Active and Brisk,
There's no Place to Trade, like the
HOUSE OF FISK.

Child-TOrture.

One Of the most dastardly cases of
child-torture by an inhuman father
ever perpetrated has lately developed
itself in South Glen's Falls. A French
Canadian named Nicholas Lavoy has
for some time borne bad reputation,
and it has been known that on several
occasions neighbors were compelled to
interfere and prevent his terrible cruel
ties to one Of his children, who is boy
about four years old. Against this
harmless creature Lavoy seems to bear
an unnatural antipathy, although in
general his normal desire has been to
intiict revolving torture on all the mem
bers of his family, his deeds in this di-
rection being sufficient to warrant a
lifelong confinement in State Prison.
Last week DR.. Streeter. of Glen's Falls,
was summoned to examine and treat
the child, when the case was first given
publicity. It is astonishing that such
things should be permitted to go un-
checked so long. 1t seems that Layoy
at one time became angered at the
child for an imaginary reason, and
taking the little fellow by the hair
dragged him down to the river, and
then pushed him under the water and
held him there until almost drowned,
so that on being released the poor child
staggered around while the water
poured from his nostrils and mouth.
Not satisfied with nearly suHooating
him in this manner, the father Kicked
the child, and only ceased when tired

A Wilderness in Central Africa.

In his conversation with me at Uiiji
Livingstone ascribed much Just praise
to all of the region west of the Coma
Mountains. 1t is a. most remarkable
region-more remarkable than any
thing have seen in Africa. Its woods
or forests or jungles or bush-I do not
know by what particular term to desig-
nate the crowded, tall. straight trees
| rising from an impenetrable under
growth of bush, creepers, thorns, gums,
palms, fronds of all forms, canes and
grass-are sublime, even terrible. In
deed, Nature here is either remarkably
or savagely beautiful. At distance
everything looks charming. Take your
stand on any eminence or coigne of
vantage for view-seeing you may
please, be it the crest of a ridge, the
summit of hill, the crown of a rock,
and if you look around you will find
yourself delighted, fascinated. A hun
dred or thousand different outlines
are in view of ridges and ranges, peaks
and cones, the boldly waving or softly
rolling, of gradual or abrupt slope. Of
mounds, little patches of levels, of the
grand and the picturesque, in bewilder-
ing diversity of form. You will ex-
claim that you see the splendor of the
tropics-that you have caught Nature
rejoicing and happy. Over all she has
flung a robe of varying green; the hills
and ridges are blooming; the valleys
and basins exhale perfume; the rocks
wear garlands of creepers; the stems of
the trees are clothed with moss; thou
sand streamlets of pure, cool water
stray, now languid, now quick, toward
the north and south and west. The
whole makes pleasing, charming
illustration of the bounteousness and
wild beauty of tropical Nature.
Look closer and analyze all this, that
you may find how deceptive is distance.
The grasses are coarse and high and
thick. They form miniature copy of
an African forest. Their spear-like
blades wound like knives and their
points like needles; the reeds are tall
and tough as bamboo; in those pretty
looking bushes are thorns-truly the
thorns are hooks of steel; the crown of
that yonder low hill with such gentle
slope is all but inaccessible. See that
glorious crop of crimson flowers on that
low bush in the middle of the lawn
green. Pause, my friend, before you
venture to pluck them. First, that
lawn is a deception; it is forest of tall
trees you see, and that beautiful, gor-
geous poison bush is nearly thirty feet
high, and those green banks of vegeta-
ton in those hollows are almost impen-
etrable forest belts. H. N. Stanley, in

and misshapen, which it appears comes
from the father taking smoking pipe,
filed with burning tobacco, and, while
he held the boy firmly to prevent his
resisting, placed the pipe against the
little fellows mouth and held it. there
until the lips were blistered and
scorched so that the flesh was discol-
ored and burned quite deep. Not con-
tent even then, he grasped the child s
lips between his fingers, pinching and
twisting them until the burned flesh
was torn from its position. One day
last week Lavoy gave the same child a
frightful beating, so that now its back,
from the hips to the shoulders, is mass
of blue, pulpy flesh, that feels like jelly,
and presents sickening sight. His
wife this time ventured to interfere in
behalf of the almost murdered boy,
when Lavoy turned on her, and, be-
side an awful beating, struck her with
some sharp implement. inilicting a
long and deep cash across the fore
head. Singularly enough, all this was
permitted to occur, and no attempt
made to cause the arrest of this base
scoundrel, who was working meanwhile
in w. A. Sherman's lumber-mill. Hear
ing of the case, Hiram Rockwell, pro-
prietor of the Rockwell House, of Glen S
Falls, had a warrant issued for Lavoy's
arrest, and it is expected now that JUS
tice will be meted out to the dangerous
and inhuman wretch.-Troy IN. ~
