OBITUARY.

DIED OF consumption on the 18th Of March,
1879, Mrs. Win. &. Martin, in tho jOth year OF
her age.
1t was my sad privilege to be intimately as
sociatcd with tho deceased during the last
days Of her %Sojourn with us, and 1T was truly
consoiing to her family and many friends in
palms which h~arassed her mortal body, to be.
hold that heroic fortitude In her anguish. and
that Christian submission to the will OF her
heavenly Father which Is truly characteristic
of a follower of our blessed Savior.
She was devoted wife, a good mother. a
>ag daughter an aflcctionatc sister and a
true friend.
May her noble example inspire those she
has left for n time to make. every, effort olive
as she has lived, and be prepared when oar
heavenly Father calls, to join her In eternal
bliss.
blessed are the dead who die In the Lord
A FRIEND.

A Race for 1t.

Alexander Sample brought suit
for divorce in Jeffersonville, Ind,
and during its progress an order
was issued by the court restraining
him from disturbing Mrs. Samples
possession of the family residence.
Seeing that he would lose if the
case went to trial, his counsel NOV
ed for discontinuance, and thus
the proceedings were ended, inclu-
ding the order about the property.
A race for home ensued between
the husband and wife, each desiring
to get there first and shut out the
other. She was on horseback and
he was in light wagon drawn by
two horses. The distance was
eight miles. Mrs. Sample gained a
lea d of over two miles, but was then
thrown by her horse, which she was
unable to mount unaided. Mr.
Sample passed her, and had taken
possession of the house when she
arrived. She tried to enter the
premises, but gave up the contest
after being thrice thrown over the
door yard fence.

A Sound Legal Opinion.

An honest farmer once called or
the late Roger M. Sherman, the
celebrated lawyer, and told him hi
wanted an opinion. He had heart
a great deal about the value of Mr.
Sherman's opinions, and how 8
great many people went to him tt
get an opinion, and John, who had
never had, nor was likely to have a
lawsuit or other difficulty for law
yer to help him from, thought he
would have an "opinion."
"Well, John, what can do to help
youf" said Mr.. s., when John in
his turn was shown into the room.
"Why, lawyer" replied John, ~
happened to be in town, and hav-
ing nothing to do, 1 thought I
would come and get your opinion"
estate your case, John. WHAT'S
the matter Z"
"Oh, nothing. l amt got any
lawsuit 1 only wanted to
get one of your opinions; they say
they are very valuble."
"But, John-about what?"
ooh! anything, sir; take your
nick and chOiceiD
Mr.. Sherman, seeing tho notions
of his client OH the matter in hand,
took a pen, and writing few words
folded them up and handed them
to John, who carefully placed them
in his pocket.
"What's to pay, sir Z"
"Four and sixpence," Yankee
money-75 cents.
When John returned home the
next morning, he found his wife,
who pretty much took the lead in
in his business matters, anxiously
discussing with his chief farm ser
want about the propriety of get
ting in large quantity of oats on
that day, (which had been cut on the
one previous, or of undertaking
some other labor.
John was appealed to, to settle
the question, but he could not de-
eide. At length he said I'll tell
you what, Polly; I've been to a
lawyer, and got an opinion that
cost me four and sixpence. There
it is-read her out; it's o lawyers
writing and can't make head nor
tail out of itv'
John by the way could not read
the plainest print but Polly, who
was something of a scholar, opened
the paper and read as follows
"Never put off till tomorrow what
can be done to-day"
"Enough said |" cried John ;
"them oats must be in" And
they were "got in," and the same
night such a storm came on as
would have ruined them
John often afterwards consulted
the opinion, and acted upon it and
to this day entertains high esti-
mate of lawyers opinions generally,
and especially of the lamented MIR.
Sherman's.

BRADFROD OPINION.
Saturday, July 26, 1879.
Notes and Comments.

And now the Boston Journal
comes to the front with a fish story,
as follows:
"a small pond on a farm near
Glasgow, Ky., which has no appar-
ent outlet, and is several hundred
yards from q running stream, is,
strange to say, full of cat fish-sO
full that when the water is low the
feelers OF the fish are visible above
the surface and give the pond the
appearance of being full of grass"
We have always noticed the close
resemblance between the "feelers"
of catfish and grass. Our grand.
father once owned a piece Of land
that had just such a pond and one
day when he was moving the 'swale'
grass round the edge of the pond
and got in where it was tall and
thick he struck out towards the mid.
die of the pond, and never noticed
but what he was cutting grass till
he had moved out some fifteen rods
among the "feelers" of those catfish
and whirled around to turn double
swath back. He was terribly as.
tonished to find himself out in the
middle of the pond walking right
on the backs of those catfish and
slashing down good heavy swath
of their "feelers." But it made
pretty good hay, and he used to get
a good crop off that pond every
year, till one year a reporter for a
city newspaper came along and
went in bathing in that pond. 1t
killed every fish. The lie in him
was so strong that it impregnated
the water 50 that you could make
soap with it.
The Boston Herald says that Da.
ma inOculated the assistant editors
of the Sun with the "fraud" virus,
before he went to Europe, and it
"took" remarkably well.

Beating the Bont.

The other day one of the Detroit
ferry boat captains found aboard Of
his craft cadaverous-looking chap
who had beaten his way to and fro
80 often that patience was no long
or q virtue. When it was found
that he had no ticket the captain
roared out
"What did I tell you the last
time l passed you overV
"You said you'd throw me into
the river next time 1 tried to beat
my way across" was the calm re-
ply.
"And now--w yelled the cap
tain as he started to pull off his
coat.
"And now you won't. You are a
good hearted man and I don't want
you to get into tronble on my &C.
count. VIII 60 overheard on my
own hook"
he stepped to the gangway and
made dive before anyone could
prevent. The boat was stopped,
life-preservers thrown out, and af-
ter hard work the man was hauled
aboard. The captain seized him,
braced him up against the cabin,
and shaking his fist under the beats
nose exclaimed
"Look-a-here, you miserable, sim
full man, I've been put to ten dol
lars trouble trying to collect your
five-cent fare! After this it is un.
derstood that you are always to ride
