is the rot that made Its appearance last

the peaches. At first the growers looked
solemnly down their noses and appeared Ia

ination, conclude what now appear sound

"YOu Have Put No Flowers on NY
Brothers. Crave"

Probably the greater part of our readers
have seen in print within a few days that
touching poem, You Haven't Put One on
My Papa's Grave" A similar incident
occurred at the Oregon Cemetery yesterday
morning. As the delegation from Ford
Post were leaving the grounds, Col. Nc
Dermott Roe noticed young lady of per-
haps l6, weeping bitterly. On going up to
her and inquiring the cause, she replied
'earfully: my brother was buried here,
and yon have put no flowers on his grave"
" Was he soldier2" was asked. " Yes
sir" was the answer. Quickly but quietly
the circumstances were made known to the
de egation, and the grave, so nearly neg
lected, was covered with flowers. To have
seen the smile Of satisfaction which lighted
up her face, was to understand fully the
beautiful poem alluded to.-.Biade, May 81

There were eight OF them, headed by the
Sheriff, and were registered for he adquar-

and larceny were their principal recon-

A reformed convict wrote n very tender

GEoRoE PHILLIPS was found dead in
his bed at Cincinnati the other night.
The inquest developed the fact that his
death was caused by large quantities Of
whisky In the stomach. The post NOR
ten revealed the presence Of n half gal
lon Of whisky in the stomach and fioat-
ing on top four large oysters. The
oysters formed n valve which prevented
the whisky from coming up when he
attempted to vomit, hence his DEATH
Exchange.
This ought to be a warning to all such
persons as recklsssly persist in the dan.
gerous habit OF eating oysters. Had he
not been guilty OF that fatal error he
might have been q healthy man to-day,
taking his whisky with the regularity Of
a stockholders clerk.
