Grant Coming 10 Hartford.

Arrangements are beng made 10y
some of our citizens Ia invite Grant To
visit our town. We presume that this
will he hailed with delight by every
body in this and adjoining counties.
There will be a great expense incurred,
as We will have TO send two special
trains Ia bring him from Louisville, and
we will have 10 engage all the board
ing houses in Hartford 10 entertain
him. The editor of the Nctcs, Colonel
Shanks and l.. L. Cox, the celebrated
poet of Rosine, have been suggested rs
committe of escort, who will he eX-
pected 10 meet the distinguished party
at Caneyville and escort them to town,
while George &. Wedding, (our
mora! guaplian,) A. Porter Hudson
and our Police Judge, will meet them
AT Beaver Dam 10 accompany them in
on foot. As il would be Very difficult
10 obtain the money in advance, we
have concluded Ia exhibit the ex-Presi-
dent in Il private room. And for this
purpose We have engaged the room over
the store-house now occupied by
Griffin x Bro We will charge ten
cents for adults and half that sum for
children under ten years old. All ba-
bies in their mothers arms, and all
culled voters 10 be admitted free of
charge. As our merchants expect Il
great jam in town on that day, they
have brought ON a new and complete
stock of Christmas goods; SO that all
who have to wait their turn Ia see
Grant, may buy what they want while
they wait. This scheme has no politi
cal Specification. Ii is not designed la
aid the Grant boom fol a third term. Ii
is designed purely TO benefit the bust
ness men of the town, by bringing in II
great throng Of people who are wanting
Christmas goods.
We aim TO have a full supply of life
sized portraits of the editor of the Meas
for sale. We will have him taken in
group, profile and displayed to the best
advantage. We heartily recommend
that all Republicans buy copy.

the Rio Grande. Formerly the di>
ON st. Nicholas Eve,t the fifth of Dccen-
Der, but in order To invest The festival
with additional importance in the eye
of the children il was transferred tC
Christmas eve.
The English Christmas of the present
time is hardly shadow of its former
merry, brilliant self, hut doubtless it,
observance is far more rational and civ
ilized than in the old days. II was but
natural that the liberties of such mer-
ry-making occasion should run into H.
cense, especially when the lower claSsc,
could plead the example of their superi-
ors in Vindication Of their own riotoll-
conduct. Hence We find at quite an
early date proclamations and statutes
regarding Christmas festivities, and de.
nouncing penalties against the cNce,se-
of this occasion. There is nothing o
this rude license now; a proper spirit oI
decorum prevail among the high and
the low. The Christmas tree throws
its mellow radiance over quiet hut an
enjoyable scene. The Iulc log, the
waSsail cup, the rude carol have disap-
peared. Even the traditional mistleto,
which has so much of romance and
poesy amid its mystic leaves, no longer
looks down upon coy maidens coquct-
tishly courting the kisses of their pres
ent or prospective lovers.
One custom, however, still remains
and 50 long as il does there is not want
| ing spicy flavor of the old time feast
| ing and frolic. The favoritc dish at til,
Christmas dinner is soused boar's head
decorated with rosemary and priclllN
/ holly, which is served up in great state
In former times "the bringing i'm of til,
bOar's head" was attended with tn,
most impressive ceremony. The Gus
/ tom originated, according to tradition
at Queens College, Oxford, in commcnl
Grafton ola students bravery who, Will,
reading Aristotle in one of the walks o
the park, was attacked by Il wild boar
which he killed 10y ramming the Greek
volume down the animals throat. II
is still observed among the Christina,
festivities at Oxford, when the dish j.
brought in by one of the students VIII,
chants an old half-Latin ditty:
"Caput apri dcfcro
RcddcnS laudcS domino.
The boar's head in handle bring
With gtrltn,lS gay and rosemary,
pray you all synge merily,

Only One Tenth is,!eald eas- Eighth Toll
AT THE -
HARTFORD WATER MILL

On and after the 18th day of .Novem-
ber 1879, until further notice, we will
grind wheat for ons-teafh toll instead of
one-eighth. We will grind nine bushels
and take the tenth, instead of
grinding seven bushels and tax
ing the eighth for toll, thus you save
about two pounds of wheat on every
bushel by carrying your grain to the
Water Mill. Do not he afraid of n
crowd. We can grind Is bushels an
hour, equal to 800 bushels i'm day and
night, and We never have this much on
any single day to grind.
Our Mill is in fine repair, and we are
prepared to grind by water or steam.
So do not b. afraid of high or low
water, but come with the assurance Of
getting your grinding done ON time to
return home the same day. We have
secured the services of first class mil
Ter for grinding corn, and have ample
room for all that may come to see us.
We will pay 81 90 per busliel for No.
lSwlleat, and less, according to grade.
Mr.. A ID. White, the well-ISnown and
Experienced Miller bosses the grinding
of our wheat. Patronage solicited.

monia, in the 18th year of his age He
was the oldest child of James III. and
Elizabeth Woodward. When death
enters the family circle there is no
defense.
During most of his sickness reason
was dethroned. The day before he
died he talked nationally to his wife con-
cerning his burial and future state. He
begged his family not to grieve for him,
but to prepare to meet him i'm heav-
en-. He sent II message to his mother
in Kentucky that her prayers We're an
swcred her boy was not afraid to die.
To the friends of the departed we would
say, though you feel sorely the separa-
ton, yet il may he but fora short time.
Tears and sorrowing can never bring
him back. God called him away, and
He doeth all things well. ale is not
dead, but sleepeth." "And God shall
wipe away all tears from their eyes, and
there shall he no more death, neither
sorrow nor crying, neither shall there
bc any more pain, for the former things

TERRIBLE ACtIDENt.
Three Men Burie in "a q Quantity ofCorn
and SunOcated.

BosToN, Dec. ).
A terrible accident took place i'm the
grain and flour mill of Ellis Packard, lat
Brock, tonight, i'm which &. A. Nourse,
Dennis Lynch and Dennis ReardOn lost
their lives by suflocation. The men
had been ut work on the second floor of
the building shOveling corn for two or
three days, and at the time of the acci-
dent had transferred about 1900 bushels
from the elevator to the floor, where it
lay i'm bulk. Suddenly and without the
slightest warning, the timbers and floor
gave way, and the men We're precipita-
ted about twenty feet in the cellar and
buried deeply by three thousand BUSH
els of corn, which fell with them. In a
few minutes the building was surrounded
by hundreds of people. A force was
immediately SIT to work to shovel the
men out, though there WAS not the
slightest possibility of finding them alive
while another gang commenced TO re-
move the timbers and debris. The men
worked with u will and soon found the
body of NOurse, the bodies of Lynch
and Reardon being discovered u
few minutes later. All We're taken in
charge by the medical examiner To
await the inquest. The building WAS
Twenty-Five years old and the timbers
We're probably weakened by decay.
