CHILDS.-- River Falls. July l8. 1873 q.
dropsy OF the heart, Mrs ZERA CaILps. aged
10 years and months.
Mrs. Childs was bora in Vermont
and in early childhood moved with
her parents to New York where she
married and with her husband cleared
q farm in what was then a complete
wilderness. OF her nine children, on
~ two are living. the oldest and the
youngest-Mrs. Loren Reynolds and
Arthur. About twenty-five years ago
her husband died, and eight years af-
ter that she came to River Falls where
she has since resided with her son.
In early life, Mrs. G. united with the
congregational Church and the vows
then made she has faithfully kept to
the last. Often did she revert back
to the time when life in New York was
one OF extreme hardship and toll, anu
when she and her husband went to
meeting ON horseback, both riding the
same animal.
Her tolls are over, her warfare is
ended; she has kept the faith, and
without murmur she babe adieu to
this world and entered tho mysterious
beyond where rest from their labors is
vouchSafed to the faithful.

Some of our farmers have begun their har-
vesting.
Miss SUSIE Brackin is spending few days
with her sister, Mrs. VIM. Houston.
Mr.. c. H. Nero has gone below to again
find his fortune i'll selling washing machines.
The other day Herburt Brown and Daniel
Comstock saw a man ON the other side Of the
river in skiif acting as though he wished to
pass our town without attracting notice, they
immediately started in persuit. The strang
er went as far as the lower point OF the island
when he ran his skiff ashore. seized gun
and plunged into the forest. They brought
the skiff and contents to the village and no.
titled some of the citizens OF the affair. The
skitf was a very nice one and contained three
satchels and fire arms for three; but what
seemed suspicious was clothes that had spots
OF blood on them and had been washed, but
not enough to get the blood all out. Several
men went in pursuit of the strange man.
He was taken Sunday and brought to this
side of the river He told several different
stories, and they could not make out what
he intended to do. The sheriff from Hast
ings came and took him away Wednesday
on charge of stealing skiff at Langdon.

sTwo youthful tramps, Richard Syl-
vester and Daniel Durham, aged re-
spectfully Is and II years, were ap-
pretended on Saturday morning by
Deputy Sheriff Lord, on suspicion of
having stolen the watches of Messrs.
Nelson and Grant, mentioned in the
JOURNAL last week, and brought before
Squire Pardee for examination. They
are from Lincoln Center in Polk coun-
ty, having left there week ago last
Sunday. They are an Industrious pair
of boys, for in their possession was
found good leather valise-A. Belair,
Menomonie, Dunn county. Wis, being
tho imprint upon the pIate-filled with
such articles as buckskin gloves, per-
f9mery. and the like. That they are
we'll to do in this world, is proved by
the fact that they were possessed of
fo4r good watches-three silver and
one gold--with chains corresponding.
Ard they are lucky chaps, too, fer one
watch they found lying near the juno
tion bridge and the other on a pile of
lufnber near by. Heightened they are,
for they manifested considerable in
dignation at their apprehension and
close examination. Although they de-
MED being bad boys, Squire Pardee
WAS inexcrable and sent Daniel 10 the
county Jail for three months and bound
over to appear before the
CiIcuit Court at its next session. On
tn. way to Ellsworth they confessed
to 'Sberiff Lord that they took two
watches in this village as suspected

Extensive preparations have been

eclipse which is to occur on the Goth

grous sum of $4,000, five expeditions
elave been organized in the United
States, and observations will be made
St various places along the line of to-
tality which extends from Idaho in a
Puthernly direction to Texas. In
view of the extensive character of the
Rreparations, it is hoped that cloud
less sky may give scientists an oppor-
