Editor Herald;
The business of this place is improv-
ing. McHenry Coal Company ship
ped 70 cars of coal during the past
week-hOw different from what it was
this time last year, when the miners
were opposed to the operator and oPer-
ator was against the miner, and every
thing in an uproar, and confusion
reigned supreme. How much more
pleasant when the employer and EN-
ployees are harmonious, and each will
ling TO do their part.
We have drug store here now, and
ready to dish out a dose at low rates.
The pleasant proprietor, Mr.. Mellow
ell, knows his business, and can handle
with safety the most poisonous drugs
that are sold. Give him a trial when
YOU need anything in his line and you
will find that he keeps drug store. not
a third-class tipping shop, like some
men shelter under the name of drug
store.
Our school has opened with such an
attendance that our teacher. III. Ii.
Taylor, has to get an assistant, and |
think some of our girls look over the
top of their books very often at the
principal, and wish that the assistant
would hear their lesson.
Our town is still on the increase. /
B. Dexter is going to build fine resi-
dence for some nice young couple to
occupy but who is the couple? That
is the mystery.
w. G. Duncan & Co. have just COM
pleted the addition to their store and
are laying in large stock this week.
The people in this place and COM
munity surely expect to live well this
winter; there have been $50 dozen
fruit jars sold at this place this season.
There was a game of base ball play
ed here on the 18th instant by the
Miners of this place and Equality.
The score was AZ for miners and 4 for
Equality. J. II. Brown got his nose
very badly cut with the ball. Rally
up boys, and try to be at least equal to
the boys next year, then we'll call
you Equality.

Editor Herald:
1t has been 20 long since you have
heard from this place that probably
you will give this space in your col
umns.
Nothing of particular interest has
transpired lately. Everything works
along rs in the days of yore.
Once in a while (about every two
hours VIC have little quarrel, fight,
or horse race. If business gets very
dull we start a slanderous report on
some one, and thereby stir up the
whole country.
We have to do something for liv-
ing, and such as mentioned above are
incident to every little town.
If the frost does not interfere, there
will doubtless be a twO-third corn crop
raised. Tobacco is looking very well.
There was not as much set out as last
year.
Different parties are daily buying
and shipping sheep, cattle, &C., from
here.
Mr.. 1. p. Barnard has just received q
large stock of fall goods, and is rapidly
disposing of them. He has most ev-
erything a person wants, and is selling
goods remarkably low. Mr.. Barnard
has become superintendent of the Tay-
lor Mines and is pushing coal business
along fast; about fifty men are now
employed there.
Il. Stevens has erected new tObac-
co house recently; this and the lock-
up are the only late improvements.
Another dry goods store is needed
here, and some good man could make
money by opening one.
There has been considerable sickness
through this neighbOrhood for some
time past.
The report was circulated the other
day that the yellow jack had reached
here. 1t was a mistake. guess. A
man came here with chills and bilious
fever.
If knew anything of interest to
write l would write it, but 1 don't, so
you will have to wait with
HENRI.

The Mud.

The human mind Is a wonderful ma
chine and there is no accounting for its
yagaries. 1t will not do to charge all
the folly in the world upon the little
when We find 80 much of it existing
in the great. The first NapOlean was
a fatalist, and n steady believer in
second sight" He was bewitched by
extravagant ideas o; glory. but glory
finally threw sand in his eyes. Brutus
firmly believed that he should meet
his evil genius at Phillippi. He, too,
was bewitched by ideas Of glory. The
great DIR. johnson wrote a pamphlet to
prove that ghost nightly glided
through an obscure lane in London.
The truth is that in the physical world
where there are high mountains, there
must of necessity be cOrrespondingly
deep valleys. and thus in the moral
world where we discover great and
majestic minds we are sure to find
marked weakness and defects.

Shepherd Of tender youth
Guiding in love ond truth.
Through devious ways;
Christ, our triumphant King,
We come thy name TO sing,
And here our children bring
To shout thy praise.
Thou art our holy Lord!
The all subduing Word,
Healer of strife!
Thou didst myself abase
That from sins deep disgrace
Thou mightest save our race,
And give US life.
Thou art wisdom's High Priest,
Thou hast prepared the feast
OF holy love.
And in our mortal pain
None call on Thee in vain:
Help thou dOst not disdain
Help from above.
Ever be thou our guide,
Our shepherd and our pride.
Oar staff and song.
.lcsus, thou Christ OF God
by thy perennial word.
Lead u where thou last trod,
Make our faith strong.
So now, and till we die,
Sound We oar praise on high,
Aud joyful sing.
Iniants. and the glad throng,
Who TO thy Church belong,
Unite and swell the song
To Christ our King.

The backbone OF Republicanism had
painful twist in Maine. The loss
of the Legislature, two members of
Congress, . Governor, and one United
States Senator, was Just about as much
as the party could stand. The result
of this election will have an effect to
thoroughly dishearten them in any
further attempt to capture Congress.
Their only hope Of preserving an
organization was in breaking the Dem
Ocratic power in the next House Of
Representatives /; but now. since their
stronghold has been taken--since Blaine
and Hamlin and Hale have been IN
able to hold the party together in the
extreme north of New Englsnd-what
can they hope from the great States
of the great West 1t seems to US that
the Republican party in this country
might as well throw ny the sponge.

ENGLAND, it is stated, refuses to join
with the powers in action to COMPEL
Turkey to rectify the Gregian frontier,
as the Berlin Congress ordered. Eng
land began by protesting to be the
friend and protector of Greece, and it
was by these friendly representations
thu Greece was prevented from going
to war and freeing her own territory.
Now that it is too late England
basely gOas back on all her friendly
professions and leaves the poor Greek
to take care of himself.

Moonshiners---JO Wyatt Shot.

John Wyatt, the plucky United
States officer, accompanied by his
brother and others, made raid on an
Illicit distillery on Saturday last, down
in Larue county owned by a man
named johnson and his son. Owing
to the darkness of the night they miss
ell their way and failed to reach the
point sought. After day light, Wyatt
and man named Mobley, determining
they would not give up the hunt that
way, started off in search of the distil
lery, which they found in an hour o.
two's hunt; but here their situatiOn'
became alarming, as they were in the
presence of the enemy thoroughly
armed, some ten or twelve strong and
no reiufOrcements likely to reach them.
They braved the difficulties, however,
and after short fight, were compelled
to retreat before force so superior.
In the retreat, Wyatt was wounded by
a rifle shot that passed entirely through
the left side of his abdomen near the
hip, but not fatally. They made thei
escape. Mr.. Wyatt is now at his HON
in Louisville, and will be up agait
shortly Lebanon Times. E

PRINCE GoRTsoHAKoFF, the great
Russian, is rapidly approaching the
grave. AS the representative of the
Gar he is now in Berlin, but confin
ed to his bed with the gout, and ter
ribly emaciated by disease. It was
his ambition to terminate an illustri
Ions career by placing the keys Of
Constantinople at the disposal of his
master, but the pugnacious English
man, Earl Beaconsfeld, has thwarted
him as never was "conqueror' thwart
ed before, and is debating treaty
that will make the Balkan boundary
a.line Of fire, and Roumelia one vast
aggregation of fortresses and defens
i've works. The old man who has
devoted long, busy and unscrupu-
lous life to the attainment of Russia S
great aim, must pass away with the
consciousness that the fruit that yes
tcrday seemed ripe for the picking,
is to-day removed further than ever
before.

The announcement has been made
in some of the papers Of the District
that the Tupelo Convention would
meet on Wednesday,xJuly the 18th.
There seems to be a-slight mistake
in date. Wednesday is the 18th OF
July; and since the committee desig-
mated Wednesday as the day, they
evidently intended the Convention
should be holden on the 18th and mol
the 18th of Chjchasaac Mes
Senger.
II is understood generally, we
think, throughout the District that
thu Convention will occur on the
18th of July, and it is customary
where the dayof the week and month
are both given, and there is clash,
to accept the day of month on the
principle that Figures won't lie;' but

gard to the matter, we would suggest

|; is said that the fences in this country
cost more than all the houses. Whether
this Is strictly true or not it is beyond
question that their first cost is immense
and that vast expense Is yearly incurred
to keep them in repair and what makes
a bad matter a great deal worse is the
fact that large part Of this expense might
be avoided Farmers have built too many
fences. some of these are not merely use-
less but are positive disadvantage. They
take up considerable land which ought TO
be under cultivation but from which moth
ing Of value is obtained, and they are il
the way about cultiyatiDg and harvesting
the crops.
In some places these evils are 70
strongly manifested as to lead to q marx
ed deduction in the number Of fences. lD
some parts Of Massachusetts, this is true TO
a great extent,a great number Of roadside
fences have been removed and many in
side fences have been taken away. Where
stone walls abound it is somewhat difficult
to follow this example but wooden fences
can easily be removed For many purposes
large fields are better than small ones, II
they were not it is a question whether any
advantage which small fields could fur
nish would be sufficient to Justify the
great expense Of fencing them.-Dirigo
