gOmery, which occurred in Halle
hurst, Miss, on Tuesday:night, 9TH
inst we record with profound sOr.
row, and many dear friends will
unite with us in sympathy with the
bereaved family. 1t is hard to
realize that she who SO lately moved
among us in the bloom of beauty,
youth and health now tenants the
tomb. Educated, accomplished, with
"a clear intellect, calm judgment, a
quick discernment of the proprieties
of life, the law of kindness on her
lips and in her heart, it Is no Won
der that she won the love and esteem
of all who knew her. Her religion
was not mere adoption of a system
of doctrines, but faith in a living
Christ. and her life was in harmony
with her profession. But all that
was earthly of this dear friend now
rests beneath the sod. All dear
Ella, who that knew and loved thee
does not grieve? So full Of gentle
ness and grace so modest and so
fair! An affectIonate, dutiful daugh-
ter, a kind aud generous sister, a:
true friend. embodyi ing all that we
honor and revere in woman.
"The dearest heart must cease to beat,
The sweetest song must die;
The faIrest flower fade from sight,
And close the brightest eye.
Sleep sweetly in thy narrow house.
Above thee shall the seasons come
and go, and nature shall scatter it's
verdure over thy resting place, while
the hand of affection will plant
flowers, and love shall bedew with
tears thy lowly quiet bed.

wi'lOw Creek and PONY.

The farmers of Upper Willow creek have
only put in one-third of the usual acreage
in crops this spring, all from dread of tina,
common enemy-the. little grasshopper.
The grain is looking well, and has not
been materially injured by the pests thus
far.
Pony City is situated on Willow creek
above the farming settlements, and those
who have said that the leads of the district
and the town were played out were un-
doubleday prevaricators, whether inten-
tional or not. That the camp was over
done and ovelTun on the start there can be
no doubt, but quartz camps generally are.
Something more Of town has been built
here than was or is at present needed, but
from what l can learn it is safe to say that
every house in Pony will be needed and
occupied within two years, and possibly
within one. There are several known good
leads here, seven Of which are now being
worked systematically, and of the large
number yet remaining comparatively UNI
developed it is certain that a per cent. will
be good. The storms OF late have left
deep SHOWS upon the mountains above
Pony, where the leads are mainly located.
md rendered the roads up the hills for the
present impossible. So soon as the wealth.
IF and roads permit, ore will be handled
rom the dumps, and three mills, contain
ng an aggregate of % stamps, will be
started up, and will doubtless run continu-
,usly thereafter. The results will be
Known. and in my judgment will guarantee
o Pony good, substantial camp.-Judgc, |

On the night of May 2Sth, William
Brown, who was held for trial at the next

out at the open doors, but the opportuni-
ties he had allowed him to make his exit
with not much greater difficulty. He
merely took up the floor in a vacant cell,
sunk shaft some three or four feet deep,
ran level under the Jail wall, and stood
upon the solid ground of freedom. The
dirt from his mining operations was depos
ted in the water closet, and an examin:.-
ion of the vault showed that the work had
been carried on for some time, as there
vas evidence that it had been considerably
lsed since the dirt was deposited. Last
year the county commissioners, feeling
hat the Jail was not as secure as it ought

THE POTTER INVESTIGATIONS.

| Considerable excitement has been Gre
ated in political circles in the East by the
Potter resolutions and an appointment in
fulfillment Of the object Of these resolu-
tons Of committees to investigate into the
frauds perpetrated in Florida and Louisi-
ana at the last election. Postmaster-Gen-
eral Key. Geo. II. Pendleton. Hon. Alex
ander ii. Stephens, and other prominent
Democrats are OutspOken in declaring the
Potter Investigations unwise and danger
Gus to the country and party. clriming
that it is the first step toward the removal
of the President, which would be reyolu-
tionary. The scheme is also denounced
by the press il general, they believing that
in view of the general peace and harmony
of the country and acceptance of the deci-
sion rendered by the Electoral Commission.
our Congressman should devote their at
tentiOn to enacting laws that will
prevent such frauds as existed at
the last election, instead of investigating
into matter that has been disposed of,
uselessly appropriating the hartl-earned
money OF the people. However, $4,000
has been appropriated, and the investiga-
ton commenced on the LIST inst. Our read F,
ers will remember that when the resolu-
tons were first introduced, and Mr..
Stephens attempted to speak against them,
he was howled down by his Democratic
brethren.
1t certainly seems queer that man
whose honor and integrity has never been
called in question should not be allowed to
express his opinion to those who should
know him best. The idea that he has gone
back on his principles is perfectly prepos-
ferrous and absurd. Even at this age of
the world, mems characters don't change
in one day.

Chicago Times, ed ult.
General Sheridan intends, if Congres:
makes the necessary appropriation, to
build line of telegraph from Deadwood
in the Black Hills, to Forts Keogh and
Ellis. The line will probably have length
of three hundred and fifty miles. The work
OF construction can be performed entirely
by the troops, thus making it compare
lively inexpensive. 1t will be OF great ad-
vantage to the military, and will be the
sure precursor of stage and mail line.
The Generals brother, Col. Mike Sheri-
| dan, has been sent out to the Indian coun-
try to inspect certain locations upon which
it is proposed to establish military posts.
One of these is at Rapid City, a small town
in the mines. Last summer small bands
of hOstiles ventured very near that place
several times, committing some murders
and stampeding good deal of stock. The
people residing there are clamoring for
military protection, although just at pres
ent there are no hostile Indians in that part
of the country. The other location to be
inspected is on the Little Missouri river, at
or ne.r what is known as Bears Butte, and
the line of route from Bismarck to the
gold mines. 1t is proposed to establish
camp there for the summer, the troops
which are designated for the purpose being
already on the march thither. Gen. Brad
ley will have command there. If the Red
Cloud and Spotted Tai Indians should be
allowed to abandon their agencies on the
Missouri and locate on White Earth river,
which now seems quite probable, Camp
Sheridan wonld most likely be removed to
the same locality, and that would render
the establishment of post at
Rapid City.
The old Seventh cavalry is under orders
to take to the trail this summer. The regi-
ment is now quartered at Fort Lincoln, but
will 60 into the field very soon. 1t will be
expected to move up and down the coun-
try, and go for every Indian in sight. Dur

found in Mr.. Horsky's stable on Lower
Main street, in good condition and enjoy

when the arrest put sudden stop to his
wild career. He stands first rate chance

Saw Mill Burned.
INDEPENDENT, ST.

We are informed that about two o'clock
yesterday morning a fire was discovered in
Sanford & Evans and Hotter Bros saw
mill. about three miles from the Hot
Springs, Jefferson county. When discov-
cred, it had gained such Roadway that it
was useless to attempt to save it from de-
struction, and in half an hour it was
complete wreck. No logs or lumbar were
lost. The mill was estimated to be worth
$1,000. 1t was run by Mr.. Joseph w.
Hartwell, under lease from the proprie-
tors. and was known as the Walker & AL
len mill. Bad luck seems to follow Mr..
Hartwell. We believe that he intends to
rebuild it as soon as practicable. The loss
OF this mill in no wise effects the numbering
interests of Sanford & Evans or of Hotter
