John browns widow.

The editor of the San Jose Mercury
made the discovery not long ago that the widow OF
John Brown was living in Il destitute condition IN
Santa Clara County. Mr.. Owen, the editor Of the
Mercury, is patriotic gentleman, and is also noted
for his personal kindness ofheart. He moves when
he hears of distress, and does not content himself
with merely expressing sympathy in cheap words
He went to work TO get together money enough to
relieve the widow and family and TO pay
off the mortgage on the farm. subscriptions
began to pour into the Mercury office with hbe-
rality, and when almost enough was received to
Lift the mortgage the news came across the couti-
nent from Washington that the widow of John
Brown was at the Capitol trying 10 get Government
employment. Mr.. Owen is now investigating the
matter, and steps will be taken to ascertain which
is the genuine widow of John Brown. Perhaps he
left two widows, but if only one, and the riShtful
claimant cannot be determined the Government
might take care of one and the editor of the Her-
cp5y look after the other.-Carson (Ncradol Appeal

WEusually have reports at this season
of the year that the peach crop will be a
failure. But the possibility has better
foundation this season than usual. The
temperature last winter fell below what
it has been within the memory of the
oldest inhabitant, and it is stated that
the yigor of the trees has been impaired
Last year the peach trees were in bloom
as early as the Goth of March but we

Church at Black Run, Col He was told to con-
tribute whatever he chose, whereupon he said he'd
chip in dollar and proceeded to take Sl9 change.
The deacon softly replied that no change was

and the congregation was in the act of jumping

WHILE the Nihilists are threatening and
plotting the assassination of the present
Gar of Russia, with the evident intention
of effecting his death, as they did that of
his father, their proposed victim is vigor-
ously addressing himself to the task of
carrying out the policy left him as legacy
by his predecessor. Some little time prior
to his being assassinated the late Gar
had confirmed a proposition, submit
ted by General Melikoff, providing
for the convocation of committee of
elected representatives for the considera-
ton of state affairs; and, had he lived,
the measure would, in all probability,
have been eventually carried out by him.
The new Gar, having asserted the
majesty of the law and done justice to
his fathers memory by the prompt prose-
cution and execution of his murderers,
has now taken the first step forward in
his administration by declaring himself
in favor of the proposed reform. At
recent council of his ministers the ques-
ton came up for discussion, and, upon
being put to vote, nine members voted in
favor of and five against it. The En-
peror then stated that he agreed with the
majority, and directed that an ukase be
drawn up for PRONUNCIATION. The ques-
ton now is whether the people of Rus
sia-the mobiles on the one hand and the
Nihilists upon the other-will permit
even this well-intentioned measure to be
carried into effect. The nobility, jealous Of
their hereditary rights, will many of
them doubtless oppose it, because it tends
to divest them of their power and pre-
negatives; and the Nihilists will oppose
it for thereason that it does not 90 far
enough. Between the two factions, and
surrounded by dangers all the more har-
assing because unseen, the lot of the
Emperor of all the Russias is far from
being happy one and it will require
strong will and steady head and hand to
steer the ship of state through the break
ers of anarchy and discord threatening
it, even if his life be spared by those
thirstine for his blood,

The Fire Fiend!

On last Friday afternoon the residence
of John Smith, in Liberty township,
some three miles from Jackson, was de-
stroyed by fire. Mr.. Smith was in town
when the house burned, and knew
nothing of it, until his home was 'wiped
from the map"
A messenger came hurrying to town
for Dan. Johnson-who is neighbor of
Smith's-saying that the fire was travel
ing towards Johnson's premises. Mr..
johnson had a two-horSe team in town,
and, taking horse from the team, he
hurried on horseback to his home, but
the fire reached his premises, destroying
lot of fence, and three stacks of hay.
Mr.. Smith had some money in his house,
which of course was lost. There was
some insurance on the building, but we
did not learn the amount.

WE felt sad the other day when we
went with Marshal Owens to the Jail to
talk with William Silvy and Isaac and
William Day. Fifty years ago, when we
went to school in the old log schoOl-house,
half a mile below where Portland is now
located, little girl named Becky Leni-
ger was one of our school mates. We
lost sight of her for many years. Thirty
years ago we were practicing law at Oak
Hill, and frequently attended trials at
Olive Furnace, in Washington township,
Lawrence county. j. W. Day, or wing
Day, as he was called, was the Justice of
the Peace. His wife was the same Becky
.Leniger, our former school-mate. The
boys, or rather men, for they are grown
men, are sons of Esq. Day and the woman
we knew in our boyhood, when we went
to school, as Becky Leniger. She is now
living at Madison Furnace, but her hus-
band is dead.
We know young Silvy's father. We
knew his grandfather, William Silvy,
and we knew his great-grandfather, old
jeremiah Roach, who was one of the
pioneer settlers of Madison township.
One word more. This great trouble
was caused entirely by whisky. But no
difference. At the recent term of the
Court at least five of the parties sent to
the penitentiary were sent for crimes
caused solely by beer and whisky; yet it
does not appear to be warning to
others.
