ALIVE IN THEIR GRAVES.


Mr.G. Wizard, who has just return
ed from O'Neil City, informs us
that the two Biglow brothers, who
resided in town for a while this
spring before going TO their home
stead, near Atkinson, Holt county,
we're buried in a we'll at that place
on the 26sh ul'imo by the caving in
Of the quicksand through which the
we'll had been Junk, the curbing not
being of sufficient strength to resist
the pessure. Although one was se>
verely injured by the timbers he
survived until the Saturday morning
following, and the other, who was
not injured, lived until that evening,
when their strength was exhausted
and death released them from mis-"
cry. Although twenty-eight feet
from the surface of the ground they
could make themselves heard, and
gave directions regarding the dispo~
sal Of their property, advised their
wives, who we're sisters, to go back
to their old home East, where they
would be happier and more comfort
able. There were more rescuers
than could work at one slime, and
frequent changes Of hands made, all
being done that mortal could do, but
| of no avail, the brothers being fully
aware that help could not reach
them in time. They died calmly
and manfully, taking their fate as
true men do. They we're exhumed
Sunday and buried the same day.

A LUCKY BOULDER.
A Tramp Becomes a Millionaire.

[Pittsburg Telegraph
Jacob Winters, of this State, And
Catherine B. bernstein, of Wheel
ing have become heirs to q fabulous
fortune by the death of their brother
10 New Mexico. The name of the
deceased was John Valentine Win,
tiers, who at the time of his death
owned halt interest 10 the Homes
stake mine of New Mexico. Elk
Jacob, of Yves. Virginia, is interest
ed 10 behalf of Mrs. Kernstein.-
The story of the finding of the boz
nauza is thus told by the Wheeling
Register of this morning: Mr.. John
V. Winters aud his partner, James
Dolan, were out on prospecting
tour 10 Southern New Mexico late in
the summer of 1879, and were meets
ing with Indifferent success when
their attention was turned toward
Lincoln county be the reports they
heard of Mexican who had found
uugget Of gold in the neigbborbOod
of where White Oaks now stands -
They went to the locality and com
menced work upon placer. Short
" after going into their 'diggings' a
''strapped" miner named Wilson
came along from Arizona. Wilson
was hard pressed for grub stake,
so Winters took him in aud gave
him work 10 the plscers. They
could not afford to employ him on
salary, and after remaining in camp
three days Wilson took grub stake
and started up Baxter canon. Sit
ting on a boulder to est he Clipped
the corner of a rock and found col
or tie concluded there must be
good lode somewhere III the vicinity,
and commenced to search for an
outcrop Of the mountain side. He

Gated the famous Homestake claim.
lie went back to the camp and re-
ported his find, offering it for sale.
All the wealth that Winters had was
$40 worth Of washing and three sill.
YER dollars. With this and a pistol
the Homes,ake was secured, and the
interest divided with Dolan and a
of Lincoln, named DeRue,
who had grub>staked the placer
miners before Wilson appeared on
the scene. The purchaser OF the
Homestake commenced the work of
development Immediately, and at a
depth of four feet from the surface
found gold standing out to the max
ed eye. At depth of eight feet
five assays have been made, giving
the astonishing average of $40, 900
per ton. The mine is now down
some twelve feet, and ore is being
placed on the dump awaiting treat>
ment when the stamp mills arrive
Still the wealth of the Homestake is
not wholly known, and it is thought
that millions will be taken out before
the shaft reaches the depth where
most gold mines first show signs
Wilson owns the south half the mines
still, and has become a millionaire,

Southern Farmers.

The editor of the Danville (Va.)
NeaOS talks like a sage when he as
sures us that if Southern farmers wish
to become MOI prosperous they should
at7once abandon the pernicious credit
syptem. In the cotton States, particu.
larly, it is a weighty drawback. As
the system is practiced the farmer
gives the merchant a lien on his crops
to be grown, and the merchant being
fully secured, furnishes the necessary
supplies and fixes his own prices. The
farmer Is thus wholly at the mercy of
the merchant, and has no redress
against eXhOrbitant rates. 4 decision
has just been rendered by the Supreme
Court of Mississippi which will afford
the farmers of the State SONS relief.
A merchant who held a mortgage on
the crops Of a farmer fOreclosed it.
The lower Court allowed his bill against
the farmer, although it was shown that
the prices charged were at least double
what they should have been; but the
higher court, IN its decision, affirmed
that the purchaser was not in posi-
ton to decline the purchase on &C.
count of the prices charged, and that
he acquieseed in the price from an
everything necessity. His extorted
assent to the prices fixed was without
consideration, and was, therefore, void.

Farm work is being pushed forward with
unusual vigor and interest, and the farmers
have much to encourage them in their. eff
forts. Crops look Aourishing and healthy,
and we have every reason to hope for a good
yield. We were visited by refreshing
shower yesterday, which viii enliVen vege-

Mr.. Editor, we could but wish for you to
share with US the pleasures of last Friday
as was witnessed at the closing of the re-
cent term of the CIover-Port Male and Fee
male Academy.
During the eight years Of lite existence
never have we had occasion to express such
degree of pleasure and delight as was
experienced on that day. Owing to press
of farm work, and, in some instances, fear
of contracting measles, the occasion WAS
not SO largely attended as former ones, but
no one ever afforded so much enjoyment.
The weather was delightful aud by nine
o'clock the vicinity, and many portions of
this and Madison counties were we'll rep
resented. I say we'll represented because
all present were of the best citizens, and
were prompted to attend for no other design
than the interest they feel in education.
You are aware, Mr.. Editor, that Clover
Port now offers no attractions for the row
dies and roughs of the country. There is no
whisky or other Intoxicating drinks sold in
the neighborhoOd, consequently peace and
harmony supremely rule Throughout the
community, and, after year or two of
degradation and strife, We feel that we can
Justly reclaim our once good standing in
/ sobriety, morality sc. But 1 must once
! more resort t. the occasion of last FIR day,
not attempting to give particulars, for am
sensible of my incompetency, but to give
yOu an idea of the effects OF our school
charter. During the exercises of the entire
day not a single disturbance Of any nature
occurred either in the hall or on the
kgrounds. The Rotations and determinations
could be distinctly heard by every one pres
ent, and the declaimants were 80 thoroughly
trained that each one as he spoke was
awarded the superior excellence. And, after
the last one Of a large class had finished ]
doubt if the best judges could have decided
which was the mos. efficient tIeolaiIIler. e.
Hon. R. w. Haynes. of jackson, deliy-
cred the annual address, which was in
every sense practical, and evidently the pro-
duction = . msster mind.

Rock Hill Academy.

Last Friday we attended by invitation the
closing exercises of Prof Orme's academy, in
theneigb borhood of Middleton, and delivered
an address to a largecrowd of Tennessee and
Mississippi people, who had gathered to en-
joy the exercises. At an early hour the
building and grounds were filed and exami-
nations of classes commenced and continued
until in the afternoon, when We answered to
roll call and did our work.
At night an immense crowd assembled,
and the students, male and female, enter
tanned the audience by essay, dialogue, decla-
nation and orations until late hour of the
night. They acquitted themselves most
handsomely. Thus passed a most pleasant
evening. Prof Orme is one of the most ener-
getic and capable teachers in this section, as
his success abundantly attests He has a
large school, and his services are in demand
atmany points. The McDonalds, Hudsons,
Neslys. Stokes, Fosters and others are proud
of their teacher, and rally as real friends
around this school. This they should do.
To do otherwise would prove them untrue to
the education of their children.
We are indebted to the citizens OF that
section for many kind attentions.
When en- route home We stopped at Mid
dleton, and are pleased to know that the
burnt district in that place will soon be
covered with a fine brick block of stores.
The school there under Prof. Kimbrough is
doing vast deal of good. The attendance
is increasing, and the advancement of the
scholars is all that could be desired. Prof.
KimbrOugh is an experienced and learned
teacher. The Ne'gs is progressing, and we
congratulate the Junior editor, Coburn, that
married life is making him give the public
a much better paper. The chief editor,
Wilson, is as solid and wortkful as a man
can be
