Austin GessHe-A Pioneer and veteran
Another of the first settlers Of this County Is dead
Austin George. no well and favorably known i'm the
County, died at his home in Burr-Oak Township, ON
Sunday, February Is 1872 aged Al years. after lin
cering illness from that dread disease. consumption
He came to this County in 1856, with his father, and
settled in Burr-Oak Township, where he had ever
since resided excepting when temporarily absent IN
the service Of his country soldier. for nearly i"r
years. first in the old eth Kansas Volunteers then'

among them, Drywood, Oseeola, Van Buren,, Prairie
Grove, Nashville, and Mobile, and at Prairie Grove
was severely wounded and during his term OF service
ranked private, Corporal and Sergeant successive
ly, and with his Regiment was finally mustered out
on September %, 1865 with the proud and honor
able record of being what is briefly yet fully ex-
pressed in the title of good soldier, which record,
epto@ixing heroic deeds, sublime endurance, and
lofty patriotism is proudly preserved in the annals
of his Regiment; yea, in the annals of his country,
and engraven in the memory Of the comrades who
survive him, and Is enduring monument to his
worth and name, Of which his State and County and
those to whom he and dear, may well be
proud Since his return from the army, he had fol-

A Tardy Spring.

One year ago to-day our townsman,
H. c. Greene, Esq, had his garden in
Parsonsville, plowed and ouiOns sowed.
He said he never saw the land in finer
condition. The snow was almost wholly
gone, even on the hills; and the broad
lake was open, so that boat was max
ing regular trips between Burlington
and Plattsburg. Now there is enough
snow left so that many use sleighs in
preference to wagons, there are huge
drifts in all quarters, the ground is
frozen from six inches to two feet in
depth, and yesterday an ice boat crossed
from Essex to Huntingdon in an hour.
At St. Adams Bay the old ice is eighteen
inches thick and second crop, ten
inches thick, is being harvested from
the place where the first was gathered
early in the winter.-St. Adams Mes
senger, april 5.

protector of the expedition, Mr.. Wood
ruff. is it's sole director. His office. to-
gether with that of Mr.. Arthur b. Proal
whom he has associated with him as
business manager, is at the st. Nicholas
hotel in this city, where full particulars
may be. obtained and places secured up
to the sailing of the General Werder,
which is now fixed for the 9Th of May.
Meanwhile, that superb steamship
lies at her wharf over in HOboken, open
to public inspection, and is daily visited
by large numbers of people. The boat
is 800 feet long, 40 feet beam, 5000
tons burden, brig-rigged, with COM
pound engines of the latest type, and
duplicates of all machinery, screw, etc,
liable to accidents. 1t is provided with
spacious accommodations, the best ven
tilation, a full complement of boats,
and every modern appliance for health,
safety and comfort. The main saloon
is very large. Its walls are of birds
eve maple and some darker shaded
wood. 1t is hung with pictures, and
its furniture, carpets and appointments
ale all new and tasteful. Of the steer
age will be made handsome dining
hall. This plan will leave the main
cabin and saloon for parlor, where
the constant interruption of spreading
and clearing tables will not occur. The
second, or forward cabin is to be used
as the lecture or recitation room.
1t makes one hopelessly envious to
look over the Werder, so near the eve
of her departure, and to reflect on the
fascinating experiences ia store for her
company, especially if, as in the writer's
case, 1t is impossible to form one of the
latter. It's the, chance of lifetime
which is offered in this expedition, and
if it were in any manner possible for
me to avail myself of it, you would, for
a year and a-half to come, receive no
more communications from RADIx.

Which EndP

Democratic statesmen at the North
in newspaper offices and elsewhere-are
talking in the most superior manner
about the patriotism and loyalty of
their party, and cOndemning the i'm
prudent language of headlong persons
who speak their minds and disclose
their purpose without care for the con-
sequences. If "rebel yelln is raised
in South Carolina, we are assured that
it means nothing, and that the Dem
ocracy is not responsible for the noise.
If Mississippi editor shrieks with de-
light that the Confederates have cap
tured the Capital, some decOrOus DEM
ocrat rises in Congress to say that the
man is an ass from Ohio. If clamOr
is heard for Southern claims and sub
sides, the Northern end of the party
observes, with freezing dignity, that
it alone is entitled to speak for the
Democracy. Even Mr.. jefferson Davis
is understood now to maintain that he
had no particular share in the late re-
bellion. Mr.. Thurman disavows Mr..
Beck. M. Bayard disavows Mr.. Voor-
bees. The caucus binds itself to silence
by way of being ready in case of need
to disavow everybody.
All this reminds us of a story we
printed the other day about little boy
who was stroking the neck OF a colt,
when the stableman warned him that
the animal might turn around and kick.
They asked the boy afterward what he
thought of the cold. "Oh." said he, 81
liked him pretty well. He's real tame
in front, but he's awful wild behind"
The Democratic party might be de-
scribed in the same terms. 1t present.
ed for some time wonderfully tame
look in front, and the unwary public
was led to waste good many caresses
on it, and offer it corn from the public
crib. But it has shown an uEmistakable
propensity to turn around and kick.
wild behind. A vivacity about the
heels and IN uneasy motion of the back
legs give warning that it is better not
to be foOling around this animal, better
not to trust to appearances ut one end
which are belied by the indications of
the other.
The effective end of the Democratic
party, as the country long ago learned
to its cost, is not the head but the heels.
1t has been the peculiar distinction of
that party always to be ruled by its
most dangerous and disorderly ele-
ments, and to choose its course i'll all
great national emergencies against the
advice of its most sensible and patriotic
members. Unlike other parties, its men
of brains do not think for it, its leaders
do not lead it We can never afford to
despise the threats and vaporings of
its shallow-pated small editors and
small politicians, because it is just the
men of this class who show which way
the party is going. Whenever the
headquarters are lawful Wild" it is
quite certain that the brute is going to
turn around and kick.-N. Y. Tribune.

citation of home sorrow and shame when
over score of families sought to find

some likeness to children gone from

something radically wrong in our Amer
