As We neared the land the sight was very

as it was Of great mountains, torn and broken
into every conceivable shape, with deep ra7lncS
by which, during the winter months, the tor-
rents swept down from the prccipitous peaks
and pinnaccs, rising ono above the other, and
eliminating into great mass 5000 feet high,
named the Anvil. This is wooded from the
summit to the base, where arc the Indications

had colony here, for the stonc walls which
served to divide the Enclosures arc still to DO

There are also the remains ola small fort and
a few tumble down shantles, In which at the

SEVERE RAIN STORM.

The heaviest rainstorm known for a
number of years visited thisrsection of
the State last week. Raip commenced
falling heavily about tep O'clock Friday
night and continued Without much in
Permission until morning and at inter-
walls during Saturday forenoon. The
rain wss ACCOMPANIED most of the time
by heavy pals of thunder and vivid
flashes of lightning, but, fortunately
there was no wind to speak of. The
storm extended over a large area of
country and appears to have been more
severe in Neosho county than here. At
Chanute the L. L. & G. station house
was struck by lightning and burned and
a considerable strip of railroad track on
the river bottom was washed out, delay
ing the passage of trains until Monday.
In this county the streams were all un-
usually high but 90 far as we have heard
no considerable amount of damage was
done.

H. L. HENDERSON, Principal.
LADIES AND TEMPERANCE.


Since the cause of temperance is being
so strongly advocated and the work
prosecuted with such telling success, We
hope our readers will indulge a short ar.
ticle furthering in its motives the cause
of temperance.
In whose hands can we place the reins
which lead the victim of intemperance
to total abstinence and true manhood /?
We emphatically say into the hands of
the ladies, the young ladies, we mean,
who represent the social circle and who
possess the most extensive regard for
true refinement, selfrespect and real
happiness. We need not suggest the
Stoics or the Essences or any other of the
deep thinkers of antiquity, to compre-
bend the grand results issuing forth to
the houses of these fair ones, were they
determined to frown on and treat with
contempt any violation of temperance,
refinement and virtue. Is it not fair to
suppose that this class of ladies has to q
greater or less extent the promotion of
the finer qualities of the young mem
As the mother is held responsible for
the good or the bad impressions upon the
character of the child, in like manner
are the young ladies held responsible for
the development of the finer qualities of
the young men with whom they associ-
ate. As long as the young ladies acqui-
esce in the abuse of these qualities so
essential to happiness we must boldly
stand by and face the horrors of intern
perance and all other vices incident to
it. Is it not the duty of a brother to
inform sister of the rude qualities of
her gentlemen associates whose charac-
ter he doubtless knows, or ought to at
least, and when he knows and neglects tot
give his sister the required information
he offers opportunities for the corrupt
and designing to form plans by which
the innocent may realize perpetual ruin?
We trust the ladies are not inclined to
think that We are imposing too great q |
task on them in our course Of tenn
perance views for We are assured that the |
highest and noblest qualities of mankind
are possessed by the females, and each |
seems endowed with . peculiar amount
Of affection for purity and true manhood |
and here is where her influence is known |
to prevail. Is it not true that where
there is mutual affection there is great
influence, then we kindly urge liberal |
exercise OF this influence.
Respectfully,
ALPHA

SUICIDE.

Most of our readers will remember c
Cotton, an old gentleman who former
ly lived in Geneva township in thi.
county. He left here some time age
and we had heard nothing of him unit
last Saturday night when we received {
letter from q hotel keeper at Sturgis
Michigan, stating that an old gentleman
whose name was supposed to be'C. Cot
ton, had committed suicids>fh few
days before. The description contained
in the letter corresponds so pearly with
that of Mr.. Cott6a, of Geneva, that we
have no doubsthat it ><efers to him. A
slip from tke local x3per there gives the
particulars as follows:
The dead bsdy of man about seventy
vests of agewas found hanging by the
peck in Tie woods east OF the residence
of George Thurston, by Mr.. NJ. P. Cooley
at aD/early hour on Wednesday morning.
A j6ry was Immediately empanelled and
s6 inquest held by Esq. Pendleton, when
II Was lOunV tu8t NC C8ulc W us uc0Lu
by his own hands, the jury rendering a
verdict to that effect. He had been
stopping at the Red Ribbon Hotel for
the past two days, and was last seen
alive at four o'clock on Tuesday. He
had carefully removed all traces of his
identity, nothing being found among his
effects, with the single exception of the
word G. Cotton on one of his linen hand
kerchiefs. He gave his name at the bo-
tel as J. Hunt Of New York City. The
only thing found on his person Of value,
was an American watch and one dollar
in money. His appearance would indi-
cate that he had seen better days, he
being we'll dressed in dark blue broad
cloth suit and his valise we'll supplied
with other clothing.
The deceased had no family or other
relatives in this vicinity, but we believe
be has brother in Michigan. The only,
clue that persons at Sturgis could obtain
as to his former place of residence was
the finding of an old copy of The REG
IsTER in his valise, with his name pen
ciled on the margin.
