FROM MILTON CENTER.

ED. JoURNAL:- - On last Friday a Mr..
Peter Pantonberg los' his young babe by
death, aged about four months. The fu-
neral sermon WAS preached at the Ginrich
school house yesterday at 10 \ NJ. by Mr..
Burket, of Weston.
Some three weeks ago, Mr.. Jacob KeifIei
while hauling ties, got his foot badly
smashed by a tie falling upon it, and Mr..
X. has been confined to the house ever
since.
l Inotce Mr.. Henry Mulally is here
visiting his brother William. It has been
many years since Henry left here.
l am put in mind that the time for
moving is now fashionable. There j..
hardly day But can see or hear of some
one moving or inquiring for houses to
rent. | believe there is not an empty
house in town at present. l am glad /
have not their stove pipes 10 put up.
Mr.. Wm. MuIally is running his DGll
again. He will have steady work between
his mill here and the one at Rtchfeld, 7
west Of here.
The stave factory, owned by Mr.. A. w
Lee, OF your place, has cut out an immense
pile OF oak and elm bolts this winter.
This has been n very severe winter on
bees, nearly every bee keeper losing some,
aud some nearly all they had. Generally
they had plenty OF honey left in the hive.
Fish have made their appearance in the
Jackson Cutoff Ditch. Some have been
seen that measure nearly a foot in length.
think If the water should get high this
spring there will be plenty Of fish in this
stream, and OF good size ut least hope
SO. There is one thing that is exciting
wonder just now, aud that is the endless
number Of red crabs that are in the Cutoff
Ditch. Thousands OF these little "critters'
can be seen working their possage up
stream.
As election day is drawing near / sup
pose hat the favored ones will stand the
cigars without any side glances rs to who
or how many there are that smoke. Bet

! see that Captain Paul Boynton, the
great swimmer, has been enjoying himself
OF late in Il swim down the Ohio and Mis-,

WAsHINGToN. ID. c., March ii, 1879.
To impartial observers the question Of
the Speakership seems little if any changed
from its status of one week ago. The spirit
actualing the opposition amounts to Just
this: Anything TO beat Randall" That
facile politician i, lated to taste the kind Of
gratitude to which Southern Democrats
who make living by politics are particu-
lnrly addicted. 1t takes no cogmzunce of
the ninety-and- favors received though

suspicions OF partality that will cost him
many friends, so that the one-hrndredth is
refused or is only granted after an appear
ance OF hesitation that is ms offensive as
outright refusal Almost every leaf Of the
history OF political parties in tins country
furnishes instances in sub,tantiation of the

characteristics Of the typical Southern

ceedings under Randall's rule, Will vuuch
that his rulings and decisions have been
much oftener than otherwise in favor OF
the South even in Democratic differences.
Despite all this aud much more to the same
purport, the South contributes much more
than it's proportional number of opponents
to Randall's reelection. AS between him,
however, and Blackburn, on whom the op.
position hay cenlered, few Republicans will
hesitate to espOuse the former, il it comes

SOME INTERVIEWS.
Nothing is more common than to be

Newspaper rcpprterS-lhis applies cspccinl-
~ to dailies-have lost public confidence
and give nledgcl conversations between
notable ones aud themselves, instead Of
the lies they used to write. These reports
are usually manufactured in the editorial

OF the reportorial brain. The idea of n
newspaper man reporting nm Interview
between the Emperor OF China and him.
self one day, and being seen on your street
the next, is too fnr.fetched. But in these
days of spirilism or humbug, nothing seems
impossible but to collect old debts. Then
the Chinese emperor is so far away, that,
before he can deny the comfnb ii is an old
matter, aud the reporter denies the whole
thing. Well, to be in fnshion-nnd to be
out OF il is to be out of the world-vo
correspondent has gone into the interview

enlarge il il is found to pay. lie has
thought it best.to take departure in this
line and interview those in the lower walks
of life, believing that motives Of mere pol

that they win talk what they mean. lie
will not intrude upon privacy, domestic or
otherwise. The brass of these reporters
they are more cheeky than female book

Death has again been taking away some
OF our citizens. Isaac Rhodes died Febru.

four children, great loss to the family and
they have the sympathy of the community
His age was 40 years. Also, Miss Caroline
Wight died of consumption, February rs,
aged % years. Caroline has been one OF
our Sabbath School scholars almost from
infancy, and several years since she was
converted and joined the Nj. f. Church in
which faith she died and we have no doubt
but now she il with the church triumphant
above. Her father, BnrtseI Wight, died
about five years since. There are severa !
families of Wights in Millbury and they
