A Bathing House

Is in contemplation by the young
men to be erected on the river. A
plan has been drawn proposing six
apartments with a pleasant veranln
ON top for smoking and otherwise re
creating. 1t is to be built by sub
scrlption, and we hope that even the
hard times will not stand in the way
OF It's completion. Somebody says
that cleanliness is next to holiness
1T certainly is promotive of health
and on this ground we hope the
bathing house will be built. Orange.

Hi OglSe Burnt

House Burnt
We regret to learn that the fine
residence of Col. j. G.. Edwards
about fifteen miles from urangeburg,
was totally destroyed by fire on last
Friday about - O'Clock. The fire
was caused from spark on the shed
There is no insurance, although we
are told that Col. Edwards had
spoken to insurance agents only few
weeks before, and had the matter in
consideration. Mrs. Edwards was
very sick at the time and had to be
moved. Our sincere sympathies are
with Col. L. in his heavy loss, and
we hope that good fortune may smile
upon him in the future, and enable
him to recover lost ground.

The peasant population did little less
than adore the King, whom they looked
upon in a sort Of way as their private
property. He was not man who in
ordinary times by any means liked peo-
pie taking liberties with him, as persons
around his court were occasionally re-
minded to their cost; but the peculiar
conditions of mountain life and the al.
most passionate loyalty of his Alpine sub
iects placed his relations with them on a
footing of familiarity which would have
been impossible under other circum-
stances.

tutoyer their King when they got ex-

who was carrying him on his back across
a swollen torrent and was irritated bv

in an audible whisper: "Tentesu,
bourich!" (''Keep still, you Donkey!")
To which Victor Emmanuel rejoined
Md salo non chel che I aso al e coul
eu porta" (''But don't you know that
the donkey is the one that carriesY)
