Claiborne guardian. [volume] (Homer, La.) 1877-188?, 1880-03-31
Things That Occurred During 1879.

During the year buried and wept
over several things happened
which will never be mentioned in
the dictionary or encyclopaedia, but
should be remembered BY the pub.
lie all the same.
The number of men who pulled
their guns toward them by the
muzzle was about fifty. One trial
will satisfy you that it never fails. =

ing, yOn know.
During the dead year eleven par
agraphers got of jokes on the
mother.in-law, and then softly slip
ped into their last resting place
beneath the willows-It is well.
Nobody has missed them.
The number of orators who in
1878 began their speeches with,
Fellow citizens of this glorious
country was eighty-fve; the mum.
Der in 1879 WAS only eighty -four.
Let us be thankful for small favors
and have hopes of the future.
The kerosene can showed q de-
cided falling of in activity. Only
seventeen females hurried up tho
fire.
OF the 152 householders who
borrowed shotguns and took dead
aim at that Internal cat three hit
the cat and the remainder knocked
over small boys and other live
stock, and are now wondering how
on earth they could possibly have
done il.
Eighteen hundred and seventy.
nine was good year for deaf per.
sons to 60 visiting. Thirty.four of
them took the railroad track to save
distance. The day express was ON
time.
The last year WAS also noticea.
ble for the number of persons who
took quiet smoke after going to
bed, fell asleep and passed into q
better land at the expense of in.
surance companies. A clay pipe
and a cents worth of tobacco are
all the outfit needed.
The number of kind.hearted PEG.
pie who went out hunting, mistook
friend for wild turkey, fox or
grizzly and peppered him dead was
fourteen, with Rhode Island to hear
from. Every one OF them felt bad
enough to cry, but mistakes will
happen in all families.
The sea serpent was seen only
nine times during 1879. This may
influence some persons to believe
that he is gradually dying ont and
will soon become extinct, but there
is no danger of it-not with the
present brand Of sea captains.
The number of mothers who left
rat poison and other fatal doses
where the children could get at
them was twenty one. This is a
decrease over the previous year,
and in the dim future woman. kind
may possibly realize the fact that
children, cats, rats, cOckroaches
and aunts are susceptible to the
same influence.

The Congregational brethren have a some ence meetings, but with the title the awk- wardness ends, if the Fellowship" meeting held here on Tuesday of last week is a fair sample. The general opinion ranks it above the average, and the clergynen present were certainly very happy in the way their ideas were set forth. The debate on the conditions of church membership was very interesting, the weight of inf uence being for the one con- dition, conversion, That item of the pro- gram on the welcome to be given to the re- vision of the Bible was handled in way we'll adapted to excite interest in that great work, and proved that our religious teachers are ready to accept it and expect great impulse in Bible study to follow its issue. There were seven ministers present, and all did we'll their part but it will not be invidious to say that pr. E. G. Beckwith, of the second church of Waterbury, was the prominent figure of the meeting, while Rev. MT. Griggs, of Terryville, was "a model presiding officer. The visitors, nearly sixty of them, united in extolling the hoSpiIdhty ol tnc NOrInHStu lauIeS WHO Iouuu the new church kitchen convenience indeed The visiting horses too had their special con- mittee and their suitable collation..

We've as good mind as ever we had to eat and we've had good mind to eat many a time-to write this whole letter on weather. We're brimful of the subject We have 'nt heard anything else in week but expressions like, ''What weather. :" Remarkable weather for February" "How like April this weather is" &c., &c And it really is so spring like that we can hardly refrain from writing a ''gentle spring" poem. Spring indications are pretty strong. Robins chipping" and blue birds sing; the frost is out of the ground in some places; the lake IS free from ice from Cheeree Point to the north end the boys dug angle worms day before yesterday everybody is suffering from the snuffles, and we cannot tell how deep the mud is without lying. But for all this balmy spring business, knowing, he.freaks and antics of New England weather we shall not be surprised if several men are frozen to death before this is printed.

 Mir. Fred. H. Cogswell, who has been in
 Waterbury during the winter, is visiting his
 numerous friends in this village At the end
 of two or three weeks he expects to enter up-
 on a course of study at the Literary Institute
 at Sufaeld. All his friends expect he will
 graduate as bright and shining light.
 It is with pam that we chronicle this san-
 guinary affair. Last Friday night, Samuel
 Kinney and Birdsey Barber had an altercation and more. Kinney told him he dld. Bar
 Der said he didn't. Then Kinney affirmed
 emphatically that he did, and Barber retorted
 more emphaticaliy that he didn't; and, oice
 verso, according to human nature. Barber at this stage of the proceedings informed Kin
 ney that if he would just step outdoors he'd settle with him in an entirely satisfactory manner, and Kinney walked out with the in- tention of balancing the books in his own fav- or. Once outside they again exchanged the retort courteous the quip modest, the reply churlis2, the reproof valiant, on to the coun- tercheck quarrelsome. If they had stopped there, and like Touchstone ''durst go no fur ther" this record would never have been writ ten, but it was not so to be. They continued on and exchanged the lie circumstantial and the lie direct; and then they set to- like clash Ing comets from opposing directions.
