Lilly NJ, eldest daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. r.
osgood, died Thursday night in the nineteenth
year OF her age. In this hour of saddest af-
Fiction the bereaved parents have the sym
pathy and tender regard of the entire commu-
nifty, in measure which no word OF ours can
adequately convey The grave will soon re-
ceive Its victim, and when the form, now still
in the sleep of death, shall have lis covering of
earth, may the sad circumstances OF the death
be forgotten, only in this, that they shall cause
all parents to draw their loved ones more close
ly to their breasts. and rear them more guard
edy in the paths wherein walk only the true,
the beautiful and the good-Lawrence Adyer-

The following from the Decatur Republican
shows the degraded state to which one man
has been brought by strong drink. This lie
only one among many thousand cases:
Robert Willis, better known among our old
residents as "oId Bob Willis" was in town last
Friday, and his presence on our streets caused
considerable comment and reference to the
past life OF this once wealthy citizen OF Decatur,
who has been unheard of for near ten years.
In years long since gone by this same Robert
Willis was a resident of this place aud the
owner Of large amount of village property,
among which was all the lots on each side OF
Phelps street from Delaware to St. Marys. in
cuding the site where the Poore's block in
which the Republican Office is situated, and the
lots on which now stands Mr.. A. S. Hathaway's s
commodious brick dwelling house, then occupied
by small. old yellow wooden structure and
was Mr.. Willis bachelor home. These are Dut
part Of the valuable village lots owned by
HIM, all of which, at one time, il not now COM
manded very good figure, and the old man
was. or soon would have been, the richest man
in Decatur. But, alas, the sad results OF
strong drink To-day he is one of the lowest
and most degraded OF dirty, filthy beggars,
going from door TO door. and even his oldtime
friends of this village refuse him pillow on
which to rest his weary head. 1t is necessary
during his stay here TO lodge him in the village
JAIL which is situated where he could once have
stood and quoted, Il am monarch of all sur
vey." Sad career. 1t should be warning TO
all young men, but. alas few will profit by the
experience of others.

LANSING, Mich, June 10, 1879.

To THE EDITOR:
The crop and stock reports Of 496 townships,
received at this Office, representing SO counties,
show that there we're 1,244,796 sheep sheared
in 1878, yielding $685. pounds OF wool, an
average OF 4.s7 pounds per head. They also
show that the number OF sheep in the same
townships in 1879 was 1,SlO,S2O, which is 1898
per cent more for said townships than in 1874,
as shown by the census of that year. If there
has been a corresponding increase throughout
the State, there will be 1882, ia sheep sheared
the present year, and the total clip, at the same
average per head as In 1878, will be s,652,s9

The history of great many courting scenes
which begin with poetry and romance and end
IN stern, hard fact, is aptly described in these
verses:
He took her fancy when he came:
He took her hand, LIE took kiss
He took no notice Of the shame
Ihat giowed her happy cheek al ths.
he took to coming afternoons:
he took an oath he'd ne'er deceive:
He took her fathers silver spoons.
And after that he took his leave.

Paris NeMsnaner Men.

Partisan journalists, says a British
journalist, are peculiar race of men
who write what they think, and when
they think little write nonsense. They
have no fear of editors before their eyes,
for they make their dignity consist in
accepting no editorial retouChes what
ever to their articles. When q French
man finds that he is 'getting too big"
for his particular journal, and is making
its columns crack by the excessive exu-
berAnce of the matter which he puts into
them, he starts off and POUNDS q new
daily paper of his own. He can always
find an accommodating Capitalist ready
to lend him money in return for the
social prestige which the proprietorship
Of a newspaper cOnfers The bargain
between the pair is summarily this:
90 You hand over the funds and I will
supply talent you content yourself with
beng the Snowman of our firm, and I
will do the hard hitting. For the rest,
your position as the owner of our journal
will be grand one, for you will get play
orders for nothing, and be able to vent
your animus against any enemies you
may have in stinging little paragraphs,
which will touch up for you" There
are about fortysfve daily newspapers in
Paris, and they have mostly been started
by brilliant but impecunious journalists
who conclude some such treaty as the
above with men of cspital-mnstly
bankers, merchants or retired tradesmen.
1t generally happens, after a time, that
the journalist and financial patron quar-
rel then the. newspaper is put up for
sale, and the Journalist, having become
rich in his turn, buys out the capitalist
and devotes the remainder of his literary
career to abusing him.

How a Drowning Man Feels.

Captain Schwensen, who was rendered
a reception in New York Monday, in
honor of his heroic conduct at the sink
ing of the Pommerania, told this incident
of his experience:
had already in my own mind made
up my account. I found the doctor
lying on bench on the quarter deck,
and, shaking him, found that he was
dead - perhaps from excitement and
apoplexy. Then I stumbled upon the
second officer. FOkkes,' I cried, why
are you here and not in your boat /?
Captain he answered, my boat is in
good command the carpenters boat wss
stove 10, so l put him in mine, and
didn't want to leave my old captain
At that moment the ship lurched we
were standing in water the bow pitched
down we said good bye TO one another.
And final blue light ait, showing that
ZarnOw was faithful to the death, was
the last thing l saw as the water closed
over me.
"Do you want to know how a man feels
when he Is being drowned ?" asked the
captain. e. had a feeling that some
awful sea or smaelstrOm was swallowing
me down. Then came the sensation of
being forced through the water as if 1
had been discharged from cannon, and
when l could hold my breath no longer,
I opened my mouth, and found was at
the surface with floating things about
me. l found a board six feet long, and
counted the FIVE boats in the distance,
and could see them because they were
painted white. For an hour the tide
carried me rapidly toward the German
Ocean. Then I saw the light of a
steamer coming directly toward me, but
almost at the same time l was taken
with cramps In the legs, and thought for
a second time that 1 must surely die,
Yet the steamer came nearer. shouted,
saw the steamer stop, saw a light go
down the side, and heard the dip OF oars,
and the boatswain saying, Don't strike
the man on the head Then hand
grasped me and I tainted. The next
thing l remember was seeing q ball OF
light before me, surrounded by dark
rainbow, which kept growing brighter.
Then a prickly feeling beginning at my
ieet went mp my whole body, my eyes
opened, and found myself looking at q
lamp burning on the City of Amsterdam,
which carried me into Rotterdam, where
1 lay sick for three days"

At the last meeting of the French
Geographical society, N. de S0nzac,
formerly an officer in the French navy,
but now in the service of the Chinese
government, read a very interesting
paper on this epidemic. He mentioned
a number of facts which seem to prove
that the disease is originated by certain
emanatiOns from the earth, TO which the
rats are the first to fall victims. The
Chinese medical men, whose phsrmaco-
Eoia is generally so complicated, do not
appear to possess any remedy against
this scourge, rendered more terrible by
the superstitious practices of the people.
The credulOus population of this remote
province imagine that the unfortunate
victims who succumb to this frightful
affection are possessed by an evil spirit,
and they leave the bodies exposed to the
sun in order that the internal occupant
NAV be obiige to leave it. That custom
produces a horribly pestiferous state OF
the atmosphere, sufficient alone to cause
an epidemic in the plague~stricken wis
lagos, and to render the prevailing dis
ease a hundred times more deadly than
il might otherwise be if proper sanitary
measures were adopted. The first sympN
toms of injection are manifested by Il
NlOlEnE
tinguishable thirst then follows the
appearance Of reddish tumors On all
parts of the body, but particularly under
the armpits, and they iapidly attain the
size of a hens egg, while the pain they
cause is so intense that the patient rap
idly loses consciousness- By the time he
RECEIVERS his senses the development of
the swelling is complete. IL they have
remained hard and firm the sufferer has
some chance of surviving, but, IT the
contrary Is the case, death is inevitable.
The progress of the disease from village
to village has been traced over 2 distance
of more than 3 thousand mites, so that
the fact Of the material Communication
or contagious principle is ipc0ntestable.
From Yr8an the epidemic was trans-
mitted to MesOpotsmia, and thence to
the regions ia which it is ROW raging,
but in all cases the injection was uDques-
ito lsbly communicated by means of
contact.

4 Silver Anniversary.

Yesterday afternoon, the 10Th inst,
the Mason & Hamlin Organ Company
celebrated, by dinner at Young Hotel,
the twenty-ffth anniversary of the COM
mencement of their business, which, by
its own merits has grown to large Pre-.
portions. At the start the capacity of
their works was two or three melodeons
per week, the best of which sold for
about one hundred dollars each their
present capacity is over two hundred
cabinet organs per week, and they are
most of the time behind orders, while
their best productions now command FIVE
hundred dollars each, and in exceptional
cases several times this amount. In
numbering their instruments they have
reached 104 900, having actually made
and sold nearly that number. Organs
of their make have obtained an extraor-
binary reputation ali over the world, and
are sold in every civilized county where
the tariff is not SO high as TO be pIohib~
itory. Musicians recognize in them s
distinguishing excellence IN quality of
tone, the result, in large measure per
haps, of peculiar skill in U0isiag reeds,
an art which originated with this COM
pany. But in every respect il has always
been principle with them to make IN
each detail the best instruments possible,
and TO sell them IS low as possible
The skillful carrying out of this policy
has resulted ia this great success.-BOs-
ion Journal
