Mr. WM. THOMPSON, whose death was an
nOunced in previous issue, was quiet, un-
assuming christian gentleman, of pleasant de-
meanor and kindly heart, filled with good will
to all His domestic relations were most
pleasant, no unkind word or harsh seHtence
spoken in allthe years of his married life. His
Young wife was almost stricken down with
grief, as his death was unexpected to all ex-
cept perhaps his physician. The disease
causing his death was erysipelas.
The news of the death of Samuel Lewis
has caused the hearts of all who knew him 10
be filled with sa ness, and an appreciation of
his many good qualities is fixed in their hearts
forever.
MRs HANNAH EsTEP is lei tn suppose that
her house caught fire from candle carried
by her to al upper room, and brought acci-
dentally in contact with some article of cloth
ing, aud not fro-u the ladies dressing rom, as
stated. There was literary society at the
school house near by, and the alarm was
speedily given, aui all worked with a will,
first to save the hOuse-next the contents

Mr., BALKAN Nichols has been dangerously
i'll from congestion of the lungs, and his phys
ician, DR.. John Campbell, spent the night Of
Saturday, October 18th. with him, working
for his relief, and We are glad 10 state that he
is now much better
Mr. JosEPH CULBRETsoy fell short time
since, and fractured three of his ribs, and has
been unable to take one of his accustomed
hearty laughs. This has occurred at very
opportune time, as he cannot be said as
feeling despendent over the election returns,
but over the condition of his ribs. No one is
so cruel as to say ''Salt River to him, but all
desire to know that he may soon be well.
WHILE MEssRs. GEORGE AND jos. SHARP
were engaged in telling timber, they cut from
the body of an oak three rife balls, which
were imbedded eight inches from the surface,
and no sign of the course made by them in

tween the bark and where they were hidden.
Mr.. Joseph Sharp counted thirty-five growths
in the cutting.

to injure vegetation until the night of the

wall of the dam which was washed out, will
be rebuilt at Once-also all needed repairs will
be made, necessary to getting the mill speedi-
ly in running condition, when they will be
continued until the same is put in proper
order
LITERARY SOCIETIES have been organized in
this town, and in the Lyle and Grade School
Districts. They promise fair, as much inter-

WE PASS The GARD OF justice(7), feel
ing that its spirit does not represent the
feelings of the gentlemen composing the Nor
ristown Band, but simply those of the writer
SO not wishing to become an element in that
strife that has rendered what should have
been a pleasant occasion, a source of regret to
tine managers, Gentlemen Judges, and your
reporter-we ask pardon if we unwittingly
misrepreseEted any one, and to the gentlemen
of the GAINESVILLE, Harrisville, st. Clairsville,
Concord aud Morristown Bands we extend
greeting and good will only, coupled with
earnest wishes for their future success. AS to
the rating, we would say that we have written
the gentlemen Judges, and received their re-
ply as to that and other points of interest; al
SO We have obtained other authentic informa-
ton, but the publication of this will only be
brought out by further unjust action toward
US. II.
