We have to chronicle a sad affair.
The thermometer was 100 In the shade
in Hastings last week. Little Teddy
crawled under his own hat for shelter;
and Steb, who had been keeping cool
on beer, accidentally sat down on the
hat. Teddy attacked Stebs unprotect-
ed rear guard with a pen-knlfe vicious
ly, and the immortal partner ship came
very near being dissolved then and
there. We are told that when Steb.
got excited it sounded like list of
Russian battle-felds, while Teddy
squealed like rat
There is general regret IN Hastings
that Steb. didn't come down heavier on
that hat; and that Toddy's pen-knife
didn't reach vital point. AS it Is
the doctors say that if the knife had
been an inch longer it would have let
out Steb's braips.
This is sad world.

John Sherman destroyed seven millions of
greenbacks in May, by the authority of the
assumption Act. How does w. w. Curry
reconcile this fact with his speeches last fall
wherein he declared that not one greenback
was to be retired pnder that act, but all were
to be fioated on par with ld.-dndianapolis

the destruction of the greenbacks.

Martin County .Senhnel.-On Tuesday
evening last David Adams and his brother
George, living at Fox Lake, twelve miles
west of Fairmont, started to swim from
one point in the lake to another. After
wading few rods they got into deep
water and had swan some distance when
David called to his brother that he was
fatigIe He tried swimming on his back
for relief, but this change of posture did
not seem to help him, and he called to
George for assistar &c. The latter hurried
up, placed his arm around his brother, who
had now commenced to spit blood quite
freely, and supported MIN for several roGs.
David told his brother he was going to
die, and babe him goodbye. George
struggled in vain to hold him, but in spite
of all his efforts he expired in his arms
and before his very eyes, and sank in 16
feet Of water, never to rise again. The
cause of his death is supposed to have
been the bursting of blood vessel, or,
more properly, internal hemorrhage, as he
was an excellent swimmer and could not
have become exhausted in that length OF
time

HOW TO KNOW WELL-RIPENnD
CHEESE,

Prof, Arneld, OF Rochester, who is very
competent judge in all matters relating
to dairy husbandry, says that well-ripen-
ed cheese has no elasticity when pressd
with the finger; feels as if breaking under
the pressure, and the dent remains; 1t
has salvv, oily apeaaance when worked
between the thumb and finger, and
melts ont he tongue like ripe pear.
The cut surface remains moist and oily
for long time. not readily drying up
Unripe cheese, on the contrary, is elastic
when pressed; hard and tough when
worked between the thumb and finger
soon dries and cracks when exposed to
the air. When tasted it is found def
cient in fat, and does not dissolve readily
on the tongue.

Highlander, who onws plantation in

Journal vouches for as favorably known

part OF the country elections are farce
anyway. In this Congressional District
there are at least two Republicans to one
Democat, and yet the Democratic oandi-
date was elected by at least two to one.
Here in A they had, side by side, with
two entrances, what they called white

negro who would vote the Democratic
ticket was allowed to vote at the white
mans box without any questions being
asked, while at the negro polling place
ell sorts of delays were occasioned by
the Democratic officials in looking up
tax receipts and going off to Offices to
look up tax lists, etc., so that az night
what with one means of delay and another
there were more than four hundred voters
in line who had not voted when the polls
we're closed-besides a large number
who had become discouraged and disgust
