DEATH OF f. F.BARROWs.

At twenty minutes 20 s,x O'Clock last evening,
the slender cord was severed which for mouths
had barely held the life OF Edward Z. Bauows,
and with only brief warning TO his friends, IN
the golden bloom Of his young manhood, MS
spirit fed 10 its earthly tenement and winged
its way 10 the celestial realms " here tho veT-
dure Is eternal and the weary are forever at
rest. For more than year pass i has been
evident that consumption was preyinC upon his
constitution, and that his stay here could at
best be only matter OF a few months. The
bloom OF health gradually gave way 10 The n
huences of his disease, aud Ned. himself, did
not realize, TO the hour OF his death, the almost
imperceptible tracings OF is destructive course.
We stop the press only to join with Neds ie-
gion OF friends in a word OF tribute TO his
memory. A genial friend, loving companion,
il was only natural that in the circle OF hs ac-
quaintance that he should be prime fayoIite,
and that his death should occasion tho pro-
foundest sorrow. Death however, does not
hesitate to consider the surroundings OF his
victims. The home, however elegant OF hum
BILE. is alike visited, and go Ii happens that this
young man OF only thirty years, IN the.m,dst OF
all the comforts required to make life pleasant
and desirable, is stricken down with disease,
and in the noontide of life deprived Of ,te en-
joyments. Ned was at the store, Friday Dee.
5th. and the following Sunday he walked from
his brothers house to DR.. Cleveland's, and
Monday he walked into the yard. Since that
time he has not left the house. With the
change Of weather New Years day, Ned began
to fail rapidly, and yesterday morning it was
apparent that bis time was growing short. His
mind was clear to the last, and when he dropped
away, his Lead rested on his hand as II be was
about to engage in conversation.

EDITOR TRUE NoRTHERNER:
Perhaps some OF your readers would like to
know what hud OF place this is, as most OF
the people IN your section have the impression
that the people here were born tired and
have neyar got over it. But they are very much
mistaken, and if they do not believe II, they
should come and see for thcmselves.-they
will find as industrious and prosperous people
a. in any Northern Or Eastern State. They
are alive, full OF business and as Few loafers
and idlers as I ever saw IN any place. The
farmers have their farms in a fine state OF cul-
tlvation; the best improved machinery is used
50 there are no stumps or rocks 10 interfere
with them. 1t requires three horses on ruliy
pow to break the soil, but after thai It is as
easy to plow as the land in Michigan.
This town is the county-seat Of Barton coun-
ty, and contains ten or twelve hundred inhab-
tants. All branches Of trade are well repre-
sented. The town is butt on the Southern
plan, public square in the center and business
houses around it, There is fine graded school
with about $50 pupils At present Ave churches /;
and the town is blsst with stone sidewalks made
OF sound stone, which - procured in the banks
Of the creeks but = short distance from town
and at the same place they get coal in veins
from four inches TO four feet thick; but little
wood is burned, as coal is much cheaper-ten
cents per bushsl, eighty lbs. to the bushel.
The winter thus far has been very mild, no
snow yet and but little ice. The thsrmomster
has not been lower than eighteen degrees above
zero. Most Of the time the winds blow from
the South az fresh and mlld as in May or June,
and still people hero call it winter,-to me it is
spring or fall. The roads are dry and hard and
as smooth ss in summer. BUCKsHoT.

Doubtless your readers would like to hear
somewhat OF Egypt" We are one hundred
miles east OF St. Louis, or rather southeast,
and thirty miles from Shawneetown on
the Ohio River, and is the terminus of the
| Springfield division Of the Ohio and Mississippi
r. r., this place being on the same road. This
country, or rather this portion Of Egypt, 10
looking up. They have had bad crops and in
many instances none at all for the last three or
four years, but this year they had extra good
crops, although thtrs Is cons 'dsrable rotten
corn on the bottom land on account OF 30
much water. There is good deal OF corn that
is not gathered, waiting for the fields TO freeze
over 80 mon can get into them with team
Corn is worth 80 to 35 cents per bushel; wheat
S1.15; hogs, $3.50 to "a on foot.
We have had no snow yet, but plenty Of RAIN
and mud without end, making it very disagree
able getting around, and with those who have
bottom lands to clear, great disadvantage.
Perhaps it would be in order for me to state
that this is a heavily timbered country, for
know some people have entertained an opinion
that Illinois is one grand prairie from Chicago
to Cairo. The timber is mostly OAK, though we
have a little Of all kinds The blfc.: walnut as
far as have seen IS rather inferior, but there
is some Of the incest white ash that any one
need to ask for. Then we have two other kinds
of tImbar that is not found in Michigan,-one
is the patafa (this is as 1t was given to me but
think should be spelled cstafa): it makes
good lumber though soft and narrow: If yoH
get board twelve inchcs wide, you DO well ;
and we have two kinds OF gum lumber, the
white, which when sawed in TO lumber will
nearly twist itself out Of the mill yard, while
the yellow gum m,kes as good SOFT lumber az
poplar. BY the way, poplar lumber is nothing
more than whltewood All kinds OF hard lun
Der is sold for 81 per 100 feet.
A person coming from Michigan down here
would find things different-I might say In ev-
cry particular-than at home. Most Of the
houses are built Of logs, and avery house has a
huge fireplace with the chimney running up on
the outside Of the house. They put on wood
/ enough at one fire to run stove week in
Michigan house. Many of the houses here
persons IN Michigan could not live in, they are
so OPEN and then . great many houses have
no windows but two doors, one OF which ia
kept constantly open in the day time for light !;
il the wind blow in one door, shut 1t and open
the other is the order OF the day. Some have
cooking stoves, while a great many others cook
on the fireplace, using an old-fashioned baking
skillet TO bake the bread in,-generally place
skillet and lid on the fire till the bread is made,
then with the skillet on the hearth, ,nbread in
side, Goals OF fire underneath and also the lid
covered with the same, and We soon have some
Of the best bread that was ever made.
