A healthy Indian is well red man.

 "This is the weigh I long have sought" said the former lean lady when she turned the scales at 1S0 pounds.
 The Wheeling Lender is respectfully informed that we have discovered man who is "more lonesome than an um- brella stand on Q rainy day." He is the economical merchant who sits in his store waiting for customers. He hires no help and never advertises. He is the most perfect personi6cation of soli- taxy lonelinesR to be conceived, vacant umbrella stands not ezoepted.

The Baby Boys.

The Baby Boys. Two little baby boys own; The elder scarcely walks alone; His sunny hair and large brown eyes, His earnest look of sweet surprise, His funny ways and joyous shout, could not tell you all about.
 If I should try year. He creeps so fast to catch his toys, And then he sets up such noise His horse and dog and book and bell, He throws them all about pell-meu. Oh, Mother Goose! if you could see This little boy, so full of glee,
 Your sides would ache, I fear. In hammock low, among the trees, Rocked back and forth by passing b reeze The baby swings and COOS to see The gentle rustic of the tree, The lights and shade, the leaves that fall The sunshine breeding over all
 'Tis Indian summer here. Way overhead, in the blue sky, The downy clouds float softly by, A lullaby fair nature sings, And through the air it's music rings; All things peaceful tenor keep; My little one falls fast asleep,
 His mother watching near. Two baby boys & God of love Sends as gift from heaven above; And like the shifting rainbow bright, Tinging the drifting clouds with light, Their souls 80 fine and sweet, shine out, Breaking through mists of grief and doubt
 And make my pathway clear.

A remarkable old miser has just died in Dublin, and curiosity is rife regarding his property, which is' said to be worth $500,O00 The old man, whose name is Law, was 8 ieweler for many years, but for the last fifteen or twenty years he has lived an absolutely solitary life in large house in Lower Dominick street. Since his death large number of per- sons have come forward as relatives, and doubtless there are many in America who are related to this remarkable man and might like to send in their claims at once. His house, when searched, was found to contain some old and curious books, few jars of whisky, many wine bottles (some empty), great quantity of tea leaves, which he appears to have carefully preserved in basins after he had extracted all the essence from them. In the room where he slept, and where he probably contracted the bronchitis that caused his death, it was wonderful how 8 human being could exist. What served for bed stood in one corner, and with the exception of very narrow pas sage round about it the floor was GOV cred with mass of indescribable rub bish, which in places reached height of three or four feet.

Harlem, N. Y., has mysterious re- cluse in Jacob Monroe, man of sixty,
 who lives, locked up with his wife. in his house on the corner of 124th street.
 High, double fences shut out curious eyes from seeing the ample grounds about the house, and never are the barred shutters opened to admit ray of sunshine to the mansion itself. There are no servants in the house, and the only persons who have entered are the plumbers, carpenters and other work men who make needed repairs. MT.
 Monroe always stands by their side till the work is done. and then sees them off from the premises. Mir. and Mrs. Mon- roe rarely go out together, but when they do they never walk side by side one is always some distance ahead of the other. The neighbors gossip about the couple good deal; but all they really know is that Monroe was sailor boy in

CENTERVILLE.

For the sake of breyity, l shall begin
at once what / have to say. The Post
Master General established a new post
office here, and appointed Mr.. Peter
Hoffman, post master. The name of
the Office is est. Wendell" and is situated
near the catholic church of that name.
1t is said, that Genl Bragg engineered
this matter at Washington, and the APP
pointment of an old standby democrat as
P. NJ. is something new IN this region.
A number Of your Manitowoc teachers
paid Centerville visit to attend a teach
ers' meeting, which was he'd or the I'D
of February. The roads were in bad
condition on account of snow storm on
the previous day, so that many of the
expected teachers could not be present.
For those, who came on the train.
slelgh9 were in readiness to convey them
to the schoolhouse. Among the number
from Manitowoc were the "three big
guns SUpt. Walker, and Principals Vie
balm and Hussey. l will not go into the
details of the work at the schoolhouse,
be it said, that the exercises were highly
interesting and instructive. The citizens
of Centerville extended their hospitality
to the teachers present, by giving them
a sumptuOus dinner at the Hotel of Mr..
q. Rossberg. You should have seen the
feats performed at that dinner table.
Walker sat at the head of the long table,
and Viebahn at the foot, and each trying
to Guido the other, 1t took two walters
40 minutes to supply them with viands,
and, my gracious, how soup chickens,
veal, potatoes, beans, pickles, &c, disap-
peared. At last W. got out of breath,
but espying some peculiar kind of pie,
he rallied and gaped out: "Gitnme some
-hic-strawberry pie" This Taste fort
had the desired effect and V. succumbed.
After the exercises in the afternoon,
some Of the teachers called on acquaint-
ances, the greater number though, pre-
fered to stay at Sheibe's; until the
sleighs took them to the depot for the
evening train. Call again, Ladies and
Gentlemen, and bring Johnny of the
Pilot" along to take items.

TO THE FARMERS OF MANITO-
woo CO.

1t having come to my knowledge that
Mr.. John Bibinger feels impelIed to cir
culate the story among the farmers of
our county that my business muse of
necessity pass into bankruptcy before
next fall, and that liz such event repairs
to machines I may have sold, cannot be
had, I venture to remark that this part
of the clap-trap looks rather small COM
ing from a business man Of such vast
pretentions as Mr.. Bibinger. This is
rather too dull knife to take the life of
a new beginner.
10 tranquilize Mr.. Bibingers anxiety
as to my solvency next fall, it may not
be amiss to say that all the Farm Ma
chinery 1 sell (and lie must acknowledge
they are among the best in the market)
are consigned to me on commission,
hence there is no danger OF my going
into bankruptcy. 1t shall be my earnest
endeavor to deal fairly and honorably
with every farmer who gives me bis pa
tronage and by so doing L shall truly
merit their confidence and the success
attending nay business. hope this will
suffice to contradict any idle story Mr..
B. may see fit to circulate as well as in
dictate the spirit in which such petty
persecution is engendered.
