FROM DEERFIELD.

An aged couple, brother and sister,
named Donahue, were Lying with Rob-
ert MCKelvey in this township. They
were almost eighty years OF age; he be-
ing quite demented and she being quite
deaf They occupied room in which
was large fireplace. Some three weeks
ago she had occasion to get up during
the night, and fell into the fire. The
brother, it is presumed, got her out, as he
said he tried to tear the clothes from her,
but they were too warm. AT all events
he got her back to bed. The floor also
took fire, but that he managed to put
out. The family knew nothing of the
matter until the next day, short time
before she died. 1 am told that some
parts of her body were charred to coal.
Charles Newton, an aged gentleman
and old resident Of Deer6eld, was strick-
Rn with paralysis about week ago. He
is in critical condition, having no use
of his left side.
About Christmas a young buck from
rural district came to visit the Centre
school; and before be left he got into an
alteration with the teacher in which he
claims he was roughly handled, A few
days afterwards he came back again,
when the teacher claimed that he was
roughly handled. At his instance JUS
fice Tbbals sent the young gentleman,
by the hands of Constable Randall, an
Invitation to call at his Office, as he van
ted to interview him. He came, and af-
ter consultation, concluded he would
make donation of such amount as the
Justice might name, for the benefit Of
the school fund, besides leaving a remu.
neration by which the Justice and Con.
stable could remember him. he then
had the teacher arrested for sundry cuffs,
bruises, wounds, &C., received by him
at the first visit, upon hearing of which
the Jugtice invited the teacher to pay
over some SIS costs, in addition to the
donation be had made.

A MORTGAGE.

In the whole range Of sacred and profane liter
ature, perhaps there Is nothing recorded which
has such staying qualities as healthy mortgage.
mortgage can be depended upon TO stick closer
than brother. II has mission to perform which
never lets up Day after day II is right there, nor
does the slightest tendency to slumber impair It's
vigor in the night. Night and day, on the Sab
bath and at holiday times, without a moments
time for rest and recreation the biting offspring Of
It's existence, interest goes on. The seasons may
change, days run into weeks, weeks into months,
and months may be swallowed up into the gray
man OF advancing years. but that mortgagestands
up IN sleepless vigilance, with the interest, per-
petual stream ceasingly running on. Like huge
nightmare eating out Of the sleep Ofsome restless
slumberer, the unpaid mortgage rears up its
gaunt front in perpetual torment to the miserable
weight who Is held within it, pitless clutch. It
holds the poor victims with the relentless grasp
Of giAnt not one hour Of recreation, not a mo.
ments evasion Of It's hideous presence. genial
savage Of modifying aspect while the interest is
paid; very devil Of hopeless destruction when
the payments iail.

RREEBURe.

Freeburg Is still on hand Notwithstanding the
many ups and downs, and changes through
which It has passed, and takes sufficient note OF
time to hail with delight, the incoming OF the
new year. the first day being nice one The
oslipping' was good, and the Mercury stood at 80
deg. above zero Thursday morning following,
the thermometer indicated % deg, ebove zero,
and by Friday morning II WAS 20 deg below, hsv-
ing fallen AZ deg. In "a hours, and trying to gel
lower. Many OF the cellars were not sufficient
for the occasion, and ffuit and vegetables were
badly frozen; almost equal to Alaska. In many
places the snow is 80 drilled as to render the
roads impassble and people'are busy staying at
home.
Another church is talked Of al strasburg, which
II built, might throw light on the might side" OF

John B. Frederick was hurt lately by the kick
ing OF horse. He is improving slowly. Har'

fractured while at school. Mrs. saml stuckey

The district schools Of this township are all on
the wing, being ten in number and strong, nu'
merlcally. We wonder ofhow much use a Coun-
ty Superintendent would be to 40 or more dis
tricts in the county during term Of eighty eight
days.
Jacob Hildebltle is preparing to build barn
the coming spring, which will add very much TO

hogs. o.

The evening school, we learn, is
a great success. 1t was opened on Mon
d ay in the East school building, and to
the surprise of all, there were ninety pu-
pills on hand, boys and girls, about one
fourth the latter. This was far larger
than was expected or provided for, and
hence the Board opened an eveningschool
in the southwest building on Tuesday
evening in order to relieve the East
building. On last evening, Wednesday,
both buildings were crowded, forty-sev-
en- in the " est and seventy-fve in the
east room. We are glad to hear this,
and hope they will prove useful and sue
cessful. Another room will be occupied
30 as to relieve the two in use. The
boys and men work during the day, and
the girls are also employed, and cannot
atterd day school.
