time to write has caused our silence
for the past few weeks l am a
farmers boy and at certain seasons
of the year, we are very busy with
our work. Hope we viii have more
timesto write hereafter
Sometime during the deep snow
last winter, a horse belonging to Mr..
William Roush, Of Cooper District,
harnessed to a sleigh, was standing
tied to post, on the corner Of Main
and Radical streets, inthelittle town
Of Letart, Commonly known, as
Chiselburg). A COW belonging to
some sturdy old farmer living near,
was passing around through the
streets of this place, (for they have
no COW law therel espied the hay
which this young mans sleigh con
tanned, and walking up TO it. she
quietly and unthoughtedly climbed
up into it and began eating;sf a
while all went well, but Charley
thinking that a curious object (not
very much like his former. driver9.
had taken possession Of the sleigh
So Charley becoming very badly
frightened, broke his halter aud with
that horrible creature went dashing
out Radical street with impetuous
speed. The good sympathetic peo-
pie of this place swiftly followed on
to witness the disaster. They found
the poor old COW lying at the side of
the road, we suppose, glad that it
was no worse and thinking (if at ally
that she never again would attack
another mans sleigh. This horse
has not forgotten that race upto this
day, and about a week ago became
frightened at a COW coming toward
him with her head tied down and
ran off with Grimm's Thrcshing Ma
chine. So girls, beware of that horse
and when that young man invites
you to take a sleigh-ride with him
always ask him if that is Charley,
for Charley is dangerous "hoss."
1t becomes our painful duty to
chronicle the death of MIR. Clarence
Bowles, which occurred at his faith
er's residence on the morning of Au.
gust End. He was in the 21st year
of his age, stout, robust and the very
picture of perfect health; but as it
seemed in one rash hour, he was
stricken in the bloom of youth by
that terrible monster-death; and
his remains given to the silent tomb.
This incident brings fresh to our
minds the PASSAGE Of Scripture which
says, "Dust thou art" etc.. and also
that we must all, either sooner or
later, pay this debt as our last trib.
ute to Him that knoweth all. Flu
neral services by Rev. w. S. Owens,
after which his remains were taken to
Great Bend, Ohio, for burial. To his
sorrowing relatives, our whole COM
munity tender their deepest sympa-
thies, and beg leave 10 mingle their
tears with the tears of those that
were bound TO him by the nearest
ties OF affection. ALAHA'
