A CLEAN OF HopE.--There is somc-
thing in the air that tells us that the eli
max has been reached. While it is a
general opinion among the majority of
our citizens that nothing but black
frost can save us, the old man" Of the
Avalanche has premonition that the
backbone of the greatest plague in all
history has been broken, and that the
end is near at hand. There are many
pious souls that are praying for that end
throughout the land. Not only those
who have friends standing in the deadly
breach, but those who have no ties of
kindred here, but the feelings of common
brotherhood of man to man that makes
all the world akin. They are sending
up their heartfelt prayers to heaven that
the Great Destroyer's hand may be stay

past few days, visiting relatives and
friends near Southwest City. Though
he had participated in many a dear
chase, which doubtless cost him dear, he
had never had real deer hunt, topped
off by bringing down the game. SO his
friends determined to give him the long
sought opportunity, and took him to the
wildwoods, with all the necessary horses,
guns, dogs, and pint bottles Of snake bite
antidote. The first day they jumped up
four fine deer, and one was killed, but
not by Scott, who only succeeded in
breaking an old does tail. The next
morning, he Jared BETTER for when two
of the fectfootcd forest beauties were
reused within twenty yards of him, he
killed the largest, and one of his friends

part of it was that he had killed the doe
he had shot the day before, and an OK
animation showed the tale broken by q
buck shot Bentonville Advance.
