Death instead of a Weddind.

Shepherds settlement, little ham
let two miles from Marcellus, N. T.,
furnishes sad romance with fatal
ending. Flora A. Shepherd, grand
daughter Of Edward Shepherd after
whom the place was named, o pretty
girl Of twenty years, was engaged TO
be married to Henry a. Fulmer, OF
Elbaidge. The ceremony was to have
taken place on Sunday, but when
that day arrived Fulmcr, came and
said he had heard suspicious stories
regarding her character, and asked
to have marriage postponed until hc
could be assured that the stories were
groundlcss. She offered to release
him from the engagement, but hs re-
piled that he did not wish to be re-
leased. She requested him to go 10
church with her, he consented, and
she went up to her chamber, ostensi-
bly, to dress. He waited from one
until three o'clock, and then sent her
brother Up to find out why she did
not come back. He said his sister.
was in bed. He went up to her room
and asked what the matter was. She
did not reply, but pointed to paper
on stand. Fulmer read the paper.
lie supposed that Flora had taken
poison. She confessed to her grand
parents that she had eaten q quantity
of cobalt. A doctor was called and
prescribed for her, but after he left
she took another dose of the drug
and died at twelve o'clock that night.

Courtesies Between Candidates.

An article Of q contemporary, pub.
lished few days before the recent
election in Ohio, is as follows: The
two central figures in the Ohio cam
vass, Gen. Tom Ewing and Mr..
Charles Foster, met at Newark, Ohio,
the other day, not in opposition
wordy, but face to face and hand to
land, like other civilized beings.
The meeting was chance one. Each
stopped for dinner in tho. railroad de-
pot, and met in the waiting room af-
tcrward. They smoked and chattcd
together for an hour, mentioned the
current canvass quite as matter of
course, and went off together on the
train to Columbus. There is nolhing
extraordinary in this, offoursc. Ri
vals are not necessarily foes, and gen.
tlcmcn will be gentlemen always; but
the Newark crowd waited inpatient
ly for !isticuT between the candi-
dates, or, at the very least, q war Of
words, and were terribly disappointed
that nothing of the kind occurred.
The ignorant Newarkers, Who think
that opposing candidates everywhere
are ready at any minutcsto fall upon
each other with the edgo Of the
sword, should have visited North
Carolina during the gubernatoral
campaign of 1876. Thecandidatcs,
Gov. Vance and Judge Ssttlc, not on
ly went from point to point on the
same trains, but in the mountain dis
tricts they travelled together frequent
ly in the same vehicle. ihlect:ng up
on the stump,thcy latherdd each other
in good style, and when The speaking
was over inbibcd out Of the same
bottle and proceeded on their way
together. When they met in debate
in Charlotte, Governor VRncc's home,
that gentleman's friends called with
phaeton, drawn by horses with
plumcs in their heads to carry him to
the speaking ground. lie stopped at
the hotel for his competitor-''my
honorable competitor, they called
each other in debate-;and the two
were drawn together 10 the grove !;
nor did they fall out onsshe way, nor
fight nor roll out of the phaeton.
All this is in the So.sSA ..lhc solid
South" where Republican is not
only ostrnciscd, but where Demo.
crat never looks at him except to
draw bead on him.

A New Departure.

A number Of prominent Roman
Catholic priests in New York have
broken the papal bands and become
leaders in the move to organize an
Independent Catholic Church. The
move is creating sensation in New
York city. The Rev. Father McNa-
mara was appointed President Of the
meeting. From his address The fol-
lowing extract is taken "This move
incnt, beloved friends, has nov as
5umcd proportions that render it ne
ccssary 10 adopt measures calculated
10 meet the cNigcncies Of great and
widc-spreading reformation. From
the beginning we aimed at impress
ing upon our people the true basis Of
Church organization instead of the
hicrarchical and un-Scriptural pre-
tensions Of the Italian or Roman
domination. The Holy Scriptures
teach that tho people of Christ, and
not a hierarchy, are the governing
body Of the Church." What the end
of this new departure will be remains
to he seen.

The Cost of Fences.

It would seem that few farmers un-
derstand the great expense Of fences.
A forty-ucre piece Of land, il square,
will require 800 rods-onc mile-ol
fence to enclose it; if not square, but
longer one wey, it will cost still
more fence to surround it.
At the very least, fence will cost
81 per rod, making cost of $500 TO
enclose forty acres Of ground then if
it be cut into four lots, with q fence
across it each way (the shortest that
can be done,) 1GO rods moro, addin g
S1G0 to the cost Of the small farm
fence in all, $3.50, or S12 per acre
certainly serious expense-a sum
that would be much better expended
III manure or fertilizers,
This expense for fences can be
nearly all saved by having law re-
quiring all overs 10 keep up or take
care of their stock, which would be a
much cheaper operation tllan fencing
against all the stock Of the communi-
ty.
In some States people are required
to keep up their stock, and after try.
ing it, they found it dcsirible and
when effort was made TO have the law
repealed, the people rose and petit
toned in such force against it. that
the effort failed and was abandoned,
and where the measure is under.
stood it will be approved. In many
instances, the fences of the farms
cost more than The land is worth
which they enclose.

Do Not Gossip.

That person is TO be piticd-ror
%hat he lacks by nature or has miss
ed in experience can see
the course of true love without in his
heart giving the lovers his gladdcst
henediction. But no one can give
better proof Of a vulgar taste than by
making the love affairs Of other peo-
pie the subject Of fippant or familiar
talk, especially in their presence.
Filtration that has no heart in it is
entitled to no special consideration.
But any true attraction between q
young man and young lady SO
touches the holiest experience of life,
that none but rude hands will tear the
vail away from it, or drag it from its
privacy into gigg!ing gossip. We
abomina'c the gushing people who
wear their hearts On their sleeves, but
ne too often seem to think it quite
the thing to lay hold Of the sensitive
friendship that we see blossoming
into lovc,and toss it up in convcrsa-
ton, and joke about it, as if it wc-c
just as fit q target for the town talk
us cattle trade, or a concert. This
practice Of gossiping is one Of the
GREATEST social evils, and ought TO be
discountcnanccd by all good people.

Don't Grow Old Too Fast.

No don't. Try to keep your SYM

little things active. Don't be afraid
Of nonsense, or hesitate To take part

ties Of youth. Yes, do more than
tolerate, try to understand, and don't
be impatient if the young eyes can't
sec things just as you see them.
Gray hairs and wrinkles you cannot.
escape, but you need not grow old in
feeling unless you choose. And so
long rs sour age is only on the out
side, you will win confidence from,
the young, and find yonr,life all the.
brighter for contact Will theirs. But
You have too many grave thoughts,
TOO many weighty anxieties and du-

TIE Nevada Miner says that whcr-
ever in any part Of the world silver
mines have been worked they are
worked now unless by war, the inva-
sion Of Indians etc., the wo.k has
been stopped. There is no silver
mining region in the world that has
given out. Mexican mines worked
by the Aztccs before the conquest
by Cortez are still as profitable as
ever. The old Spanish mines, opened
long before Hannibaps time, are still
worked with enormous profits. The
South American mines have constant
ly yielded their wealth for more than

Horrible Tales

TIE House OF Correction, at Mil
waukce, is furnishing one Of the most
terrible sensations to the country it
hns been cursed with for many day.
Daniel Price, who just completed Il
two-ycar sentence in that institution,
charges that two inmates have been
murdered within two ycars-onc un-
der the management OF Dan. Kennedy
who is Eow Chief of Police of that
city, and the other quite recently,
under the present Superintendent Of
tbs house. They were whipped, STAY
ed, led on rotten food and common
garbage, and confined in horrible
place dcnominated the "black hole"
connected with the institution. The
inmates, as a common thing, have
been fed upon embryo veal and rotten
meat, and beaten, overworked, and
conf ned in the dungeon without mer-
cy, and without regard to law and
justice. Their bread was of horse
feed, sawdust and plaster of Paris,
their meat consisted Of dogs, horses
and abortive calves. Price has bones
Of dogs and horses to prove his state
ments. A detective employed for
the past two weeks substantiates the
charges, and an investigating commit
tee has been appointed. Prices state :

a Chance for Roscoe.

A distant relative Of benedict Ar
mold, one Isaac N. Arnold, formerly
q member of Congress from Chicago,
has taken the lecture field to defend
his remote kinsman from the appro-
blum which the American people
have heaped upon him. Perhaps
this will encourage Mr.. Conkling TO
believe that after he has been dead rs
long as Benedict, some kind relative
will undertake TO prove that lie never
did the Sprague family any harm,
and that on the evening of the cole
bratcd episode at Canonchct he had
simply called to borrow little sale
ratus 10 make some tea biscuit at his
boarding house.
