Court House,

At considerable trouble We have OBJ
tanned the full text OF the law authorizing
Mower County to issue bonds in the sum
of $4,000 to build court house, and
publish the same this week. The question
of issuing the bonds is to be submitted
to vote of the people of the county on
the 18th day of May next. This amount,
together with the tax Of $4,000 already
levied for county buildings and in pro-
cess Of collection, will make a fund of
$50, 900 available for the building of a
Courthouse. The building now used by
the county for courthouse is small,
dilapidated and unsafe. Should 1t burn
down, the chances would hardly be one
in ten of saving from the several county
offices, any part of the accumulated mass
Of valuable records and documents. The
Register of Deeds, County Auditor, Treas
urer, Clerk of the Court and Judge of
Probate all are the custodians of records
and papers of priceless value, and the
county ought long ago to have provided
for their preservation. $4,000 is very
moderate allowance for q courthouse. It
can only build plain, substantial house,
with the necessary accommodations
There can be no money expended for
architectural display. This much Ger.
tainly no one should object to, and we
hope to zee the measure carried almost
unanimously. We shall notice this sub
ject more at length hereafter

TIE Ladies' Literary social, as an
nounced, met at the residence Of Mrs. F.
King on Tuesday evening of last week.
The pleasant rooms Of the hostess were
well flied, and the exercises good. A
very fine essay by Mrs. Benz. Mason, fol-
lowed by original articles from Mrs. j.
L. Davidson, Mrs. 8. G. Bacon, Mrs. F.
King, and Mrs. e. H. Davidson. Music
by Mrs. D. B. Johnson, Mrs. Belle Sher-
wood, Miss Lottie johnson and Miss
Flora Fay. The closing exercises were
a memorial in remembrance of Mrs. B. J.
Van Valkenburgh, of Lacrosse, who,
since the organization of the Club has
been an active and efic lent member, and
whose death is the first during period
of ten years, the Club numbering over
one hundred. A chair was tasteful]y
and appropriately draped in black and
white, and was silent reminder of one
who will come back to them no more.
The tender regard in which she was held
was manifest in the fearful eyes and sad
faces. A touching and appropriate song,
entitled the Messenger Bird,' was sung
with much feeling. We publish the fol-
lowing poem, written by Mrs. Morse, the
President Of the Club, in memory of the
departed one:
Some friends, We always greet with bated
breath,
And scan their faces with foreboding sigh;
But her FAIR presence woke no thought OF
death,
So full the life, IN step, and voice, and eye;
So full its reduence fingers with US yet,
Like the soft radiance where the sun has set.
We should have said, the" word had urgent
OF ali her woman's wealth of grace and skill;
The ready helpfulness in word and deed,
The quick warm impulse, and courageous
And wifeiy love, and priceless mother care
But the dark angel heeds no plea to spare.
] think, II We had known it was the last,
The last glad greeting, and tho last good by,
Some tender words our lips had surely passed.
Some talk Of meeting IN the home on high.
Butlnow, between US, and those words unsp0k-
Lies the deep silence, that can ne'er be
broken. 81
And. of all tender rites that love may crave,
In fond remembrance of our severed ties,
Remains but this-to place upon her grave
Our wreath Of fresh and fragrant memories:
And with full eyes, and hearts that sadly swell,
All tender1y to breathe q last Farewell. =

fell and cut his head quite badly on the
frozen ground one day last week.
Mrs. Y E. c. Officer is at Northwood,

VIM. Spencer, formerly Of this place.
Mr.. Officer escaped serious accident
while on his way to the lecture, Sunday
evening. He was thrown from his horse,
and received slight injury; nothing
serious is apprehended.
One of our well-bred, intelligent, and
heightened citizens, has so far forgotten

The weather Sabbath morning was
cold enough to make us sing with more
than our usual degree of earnestne IS
"Home, sweet Home" but as it was the
day of rest, Divine:y appointed, we con.
cluded to seek spiritual refreshment and
assemble with those who are wont to meet
to sing and pray and listen to the Gospel
We listened 10 an earnest discourse from
the text, "Seek We first the kingdom OF
God and its righteousness, and all things
shall be added unto you." We were
pleased to see in the congregation Mr.
John Somers, of the town Of London
Mr.. 8. is an earnest Sabbath school wor'
ker. He is superintendent Of the Union
school at Woodbury., and also a wide
awake temperance man, and always vel
come at Cedar City. MIR. S. brought a
stranger with him, whom we afterwards
learned was Mr.. VIM. Copp, of Roches-
ter, Minnesota, a Good Templar, and
travelling and working for that Order.
He desired to organize a Lodge at this
place, and we felt confident when the
object of his coming among us was made
known, and meeting announced for the
evening, that he would have the hearty
cooperation OF our best citizens. who,
of course, always favor everything pro-
gressive or elevating to the human family.
In the evening good]y number assem-
bled. The meeting was called to order
by Mr.. Somers, opened with prayer by
Bro. Geo. Chandler. The singing was
excellent, led by Mrs. Geo. Chandler, who
presided at the organ in her usual lady
like and graceful manner. Mr. Copp is
an interesting and pleasing speaker, and
gave us lecture worth listening to, and
we regretted that those who ought to take
hold of this work were so backward
about doing anything to encourage it.
Mr.. G. Chandler was. we believe, the only
member of our church willing to pledge
himself to support Lodge, and he, with
his estimable lady, is always ready for
every good work. A committee of three
were appointed to try to interest the peo-
pie and encourage the organization Of a
Lodge.

Saturday, and also one week from next

THE temperance orators are
furnished with fresh ammunition from
away up in the Arctic regions. A
schooner which has just arrived at
San Francisco from that quarter
brings a terrible story of famine
from St. Lawrence island, in the
Behring Sea. Two hundred and
fifty corpses we're found in a single
field, and almost the entire popula-
ton of the southeastern end. Of the
island has persisted of starvation
What particularly interests the tenn.
perance people is that all this NOR.
tality is attributed to rum. Nearly
every trading vessel that goes to the
Acrtic goes loaded with Intoxicating
liquor, and as long as this lasts the
natives devote themselves exclusive
ly to getting drunk and will not &c
fishing. BY the time they are ready
to 60 to work it is too late to catcf
fish, and starvation is the inevitable
result.

How to Stop Indian Wars.

II we have new Indian war it is
because the government has failed to
adapt its Indian policy rapidly
enough to the new order Of things.
To place petty Indian tribe on a
reservation as large as Massachusetts,
10 these days when plains and noun.
taics are filling with miners and
farmers, is to deliberately prepare
the way for assassination of the
peaceful whites, and tor joint feel
ing among the Indians thar the gov
eminent deals treacllerously with
them. The honest way is to show
the Indisas that the hunting days
are past for them: that they must
conform themselves to the general
customs of the whites and to the me-
ceseities az now aud to them in.
,teosely dissgresabte life; they must
be content with one hundred and
sixty acres for family, and that
.yesistance is vain and futile.

A Singular Freak OF Railway
Cars.

Probably one of the most singular
occurrences in railway history took
place yesterday on the Piedmont. Air
Line. The freight tram going east
when near the ticket Office in this
city came in collision with a COW,
which precipitated two of the coach
es from the rails. These two coaches
ran on the rails nearly two hundred
yards, and when near the mouth of
the bridge remounted the rails and
thus prevented fearful wreck. We
doubt if such another instance where
the mere favor of circumstances
seemed to partake of the nature of
intelligence ever occurred on rail-
way before.-Danville (Va.) Post.

THERE are no necessarily idle
men in any part of the United States
to-day; in fact, the question in many
places is to get sufficient supply of
labor. This is the best country in
the world to. day for labor and CAPT
tai to emigrate to from the over.
stocked European countries.-N. Y.
Eng. and Mining Journal.
There are thousands of idle men
q large proportion of which are first
class miners or mechanics-on the
Comstock and in Rodie. In other
Pacific Coast camps there are also
hundreds who are unable to obtain
employment. The article quoted is
therefore incorrect, and calculated to
do harm.
