A Rcadiuster!

He was very sOlemn-lOoking man
this man we write of, and carried with
him a bundle which seemed to be a cross
between an old army knapsack and roll
of faded carpet. AS he walked into the
bar-room of the hotel, the young man of
the town, who had just stepped in to
sponge sufficient backing to cover his
boots, gave sly wink at the crowd of
young fellows who were holding a spit

Then said the youth, How many read

The crowd around the stove began to
look interested, and the stranger answered:

Il. L. HUGHES ESQ. writes to us from
Jefferson Furnace, as follows:
"DIED, February 4, 1880, Daniel z. Da-
Wis, (Penlan), aged "a years. He was well
known to you, and likely one of your old
pupils, perhaps at the old Cackley school
house. He was a most excellent man.
He had been our engineer for near 20
years." sc.
We remember Mr.. Davis very well. He
was a good boy at school. The last time
we saw him we had gone across the creek
bottom from the dear old homestead
where he had lived so long, and when we
reached the furnace, the first man we met
was Dan. We had a very pleasant talk,
for an hour Or more. He was, indeed,
good man.

poor suffering mortal. One dayla week
John Smith was sitting upon his horse, on

down upon the twain. Scott fled, and
Smith threw up his hand, and turned his
horses head to fly, also, but the Knight of

Tropic mines were flooded again on
Thursday night. Joseph Grace, and two
other men-whose names we did not learn
went into the mines to try to save the
pumps which were used underground.
While working at the pumps the lamp of
one of the workmen went out, and the
others stopped work to assist him in light
ing it. Just at this time one of them
heard a rush of water, and they ran. The
mines filled 50 rapidly that the water
was touching the feet of the hindmost
man as he went up the ladder. They
were just in time to save their lives.
