Use Of Silence.

A pity that 80 few people understand
How eloquent is it in reality. Ac4ui-
essence, contradiction, difference, dis
dain, embarrassment, and awe may all
be expressed by saying nothing. IL
may be necessary to illustrate this ap-
parent paradox by few examples.
Should you hear an rtiOn which you
Deem false, made by some one OF whose
v0racity pol,teness may withhold you
from openly declaring your doubt, you
denote a difference of opinion by re-
naming silent. Arc you receiving q
rcprimand from q superior You mark
your respect by an attentive silence.
Are you compelled TO listen to the iriv-
olous conversation Of a fopl You sig
nifty your opinion of him by treating
his iOIuacity with silence. Again, how
much domestic strife might have been
prevented, how often might the quarrel
which BY mutual aggravation has, per
haps terminated in bloojshed, had it
been checked in the commencement by
q judicious silence, Those persons on
" who have experienced them are aware

Vassar at Liberty.

Some weeks ago the COURIER contain
ed an article relative to the arrest of John
W. Vassar, which was given in detail Is
we learned from the officers directly in
terested in his capture. The STORY "a
told u was one of daring adventure and
recklessness, hardly parailelsd in the
history Of border life, and we told it sup.
posing the parties knew. But recent
developments change the whole face OF
wha. We have published, and no one
could more gladly make the correction
and give the real facts. j,
The people of Wyoming are guilty Of
some dirty tricks and fragrant misrepre.
sentation in the matter. Letters were
sent to the Sheriff Of this county from
officers living at or near Bear Butte, reel.
ting q long array of misdeeds. The de-
tective who came to this city and subse-
qnently made the arrest, was the main
source Of our information. He seemed to
delight in telling the tales of crime he
laid at Vassar's door. But the whole
matter seems to be a Matchmaking and
slandsrous scheme concocted by the
enemies of Vassar. 1t is we'll known by
the friends of the young man that he had
trouble With a man ty the name of Fox,
whom he shot in self defence. For that
he was arrested and tried before a justice
Of the peace, and acquitted. He then
came home. But some very oficious
parties thought they might implicate him
in . train robbery and made that . pre-
text of arrest. Hence his arrest and in.
generation at #. Laramie. A few days
ago he was a raigned aud tried, not for
train robbery. however, but for the shoot
ing of Fox. The jury acquitted him at
once, and Vassar stands before the world
a. q free man.
He is able to produce evidence as to
his whereabouts every day since his dis
charge from the army. We are glad to
chronicle this fact, and know that the
friends of the family will rejoice in bis
complete vindication. We are glad of it
for the sake of all concerned.

Mr.. A. belong, Conway's popular
druggist, was succeeded the 7th inst by
DR.. j =. Talcott, a graduate of the Elec-
tic Medical College of Cincinnati, Ohio.
DR.. Talcott is a young man Of fine per
sonal appearance and pheasant address.
He is evidently cultivated gentleman
and a man of business ability. Just such
a man as ought to succeed our esteemed
friend. Mr.. belong He proposes not
only to keep the stock up to Mr., De-
Longs high standard. but to enlarge on
the same in some special Departments. On
the whole We think Conway loses moth,
ing in the change, especially as Mr.. De
Long retains his citizenship, and will
probably for time to come, if the stock
business proves lucrative, which we sin.
cerely hope it ~may.-Iona South West.
We are glad our former townsman Is
being so we'll received by the people Of
Conway, Iowa. They will find every
hope realized in Mr.. Talcott. During
the many years Of his residence in this
city, he occupied numerous positions of
trust. in an honorable manner, and to the
entire satisfaction of all. As postmaster
Of this city for many years, he was &C
commodating, correct and honest. In all
the various walks of life our people
found him the same. We congratala ate
Conway in gaining Mr.. Talcott as a cit
izen,

THIS PARENTS, LAMENT.


All ead Ia our spirit when evening comes or.
As joyless indeed at the light breaking morn,
So lonely we feel every honr in the day
Since death took our dear little Tommy away.
We call on his name az . source Of Ielief,
But no call In answer assuages our GRIEF.
We look for his coming. but lOOk all Tn vain
Our darling will never return home again.
We list for the pstting Of his little feet;
We miss ut the table his own dear seat
A hundred momentoes awak en- our sigh1,
And each little object brings tears from our eyes
Another bud Of our garden has gone to decay,
Another bird in our wtrdow has nutter'd away,
Another lamb Of our bosom is folded above,
And with the good shepherd Is feeding ON love.
Then why shouldst we sorrow and wish his
return,
While hope thu, we'll meet him continues 70
burn. -
One thought yet is left us, one blessed thought
given.
A child lees on earth but an other In heaven.
We must try to cheer our lonely hearts,
And wipe our tear-wet eyes.
a FEW more years OF earthly ftfife,
Then angels from the skies!
will come aud guide us Ger the stream
To worlds more bright snd far,
Where life IL not q 1eeting dream,
And where our low ed ones are.
There together we'll bask sround the plains o.
bright peace,

GRo. SrIcKNEY informs us that for the
last ten days taxes have been paid at the
rate of IS, 900 per month. This is a good
showing, and we are glad to make note
Of it. In Union county, as elsewhere the
country over, many people have the
weakness to cry 'hard times and bank
ruptcy," when in fact there is considers
BILE money a%float, Or produce that will
bring money. From what we have seen
and can judge from the general course of
trade, we are led to conclude that times
are as good aud money as plenty in Union
county a. anywhere in the west.

Treasurer Stickney, levied on and COB
bled a horse then in the p ,ssession of a
Frenchman living near Jefferson. The
animal was brought to this city, put in a
stable and advertised for sale. Last
Saturday just about the time the sale was
to take place, a gentleman by ths name
Of Fox claimed the horse by virtue of q
chattel mortgage he held on the same.
OF course there was no sale, and the

Is, who shall pay the costs, 1t is Ger.
