The Blue Mountain Hermit,

DIR. James d. Graber, of SteinsvilIe, Lc-
high county, was recently sent to the log
cabin Of Gorrell, the fox and wild cat
hunter, at the base Of the Blue mountains
in Albany township, ks,county, to give
him medical treatment. When the doctor
arrived he found the door locked and the
old man so stiff with rheumatism
that he could not arise from bed
and unlock the door. He told the
physician to procure wire and bend it
into the shape of hook and stick
it through small hole in tho door, 50 as
to reach the bolt and shove it back. In
this way he opened the door. John He'll
~, one of the hunters nearest neishbors,
offered to take him to his residence and
take good care OF him until the recovery
Of his health, but he declined the invita-
tion. Mr.. Henry then employed a person
to scrub the floor of the log cabin, white
wash the walls and cut the hair and shave
the face Of the old man.

An Interesting Decision.

The supreme court has recently rendered
decision in an appeal from Montgomery
county, Of peculiar interest. William NJ.
Bainbridge, a resident Of NOrristOwn,
made will in juno, 1869, in which he
disposed of all his property to the amount
of about four hundred dollars. He directed
that it should be invested and the income
paid to his mother during her life. At her
death, he directed that after all expenses
were paid End legacies of ftwenty- five dOllals .

each to the NOrristOwn encampment No.

should be used by the executor, Mr.. Geo.
w. Calhoun, in the erection Of 4 mOnu-
ment over his grave a: the death of his
mother. Tho surviving brothers and
sisters contested his right to use
all the funds but contcndcd that
clause in the will, reading
"such a monument as the amount of
funds in his hands will warrant required
him to erect one in proportion to the
amount of the estate and that he should
not use all the rest, residue and remain
der, AS the testatOr st first directed
Judge Ross in "a lengthy opinion decided,
however, that the whole amount should be
used in the erection of a monument. The
case was taken to the supreme court with
Theo. w. Bean. esq, for the executor,
and George w. Rogers, esq, for the heirs,
and the decision Of tho lower court was
sustained, Justice Mercur delivering the
opinion, G. J. SharswOod dissenting. The
monument. which will be Of white mar
ble, sixteen feet high, will shortly be
erected over his grave in the Montgomery
cemetery, where he was buried in 1872.
This is thought to be the first instance of
the contest of will upon such reasons rs

articles OF clothing, and we were sur
prised at the business this firm were
doing, and at the low prices they
were selling all kinds of clothing,
and in answer to our inquiry as to how
they could afford to sell goods so
low and live, we were told that
they bought their goods in large lots,
paying cash for them. which enabled
them to sell cheaper than any other
firm in North Missouri. They study
the wants of their customers, and in
doing this are enabled to buy goods
