EAST WAGGENER lTEMs.-We have
had fully as much rain as has been
needed, since the 18th of last month;
and. the pasture lands appear so
green, that one is reminded of the
approach of summer.
The recent showers have helped
the corn crop considerably, especially
the late planting, and we expect a
pretty fair yield of late potatoes, il
the frost doesn't appear for a week
or two yet.
The Sabbath School Institute which
was held at Union, ON the 18th and
18th Of last month, deserves especial
mention. 1t was conducted by Col.
Robert Cowden, of Gallon, Ohio. Il
.Chautauqua graduate. He is strict.
ly religious, and has a very eompre-
hensive knowledge of the Bible
The methods of instruction were
purely normal, and the black board
illustrations were magnificent.
Mr.. Thomas Foglesong died on last
Friday night, at half past 10 o'clock,
after having been a patient sufferer
for several months. Mr.. Foglesong
was in the 49th year of his age. He
possessed many good traits, Of which
some of the most prominent were pa.
thence, piety and benevolence. He
always seemed ready to speak a kind
word, or to perform a good act. He
had been consistent member of the
U. B. Church for about sixteen years;
and as he approached the end of life's
journey, his faith in the religion Of
the Bible grew stronger. Therefore
he leaves the bright testimony be.
hind, that he has gone to the pure
and peaceful abode of the saints
The remains were inferred at the
family graveyard in Robinson Dis
trict, on Sunday morning, in the
presence of large assembly of rela.
tives and friends. The bereayed
family, which consists Of a compan.
ion and five children, has the SYM
pathy of the entire community
May they all meet in Heaven.
Rev.S. Cummings, of Point Pleasant,
preached his farewell sermon at Lo.
Gust Grove, on last Sunday. We
liked the discourse, because it was
plain and practical, and did not have
much .fare1celt in it.
Miss Fannie Roush, of Union vi
cinity, is quite i'll with typhoid
fever. Shechad become good deal
better, but took a relapse, which
leaves her in very serious condition.
Mr.. Joseph Zerkle has recently had
a large frame barn built. The car.
penters employed were Messrs. S. W.
and E, H, Yonker.
The Locust Grove school has been
in session since the 18th Of last
month. Francis Lewis, Esq, was
employed as teacher. We trust that
he will have the hearty cooperation
of all the patrons of the school.

JAS. B. MENAGER.
Prosecuting Atty.

Adyerting to an article in the Sea
WORTH and Fishing Gazettc on the
practicability and profits Of fish cul.
ture, the Petersburg Indcr-AweaL
says: "The farmer who has not a FISH
pond upon his land cannot do better
than at the earliest opportunity take
steps to prepare one, aud to stock it
with fish. Suppose our people were
everywhere provided with fish ponds
and were raising fish just as they do
fowls-somcthing altogether practi-
cable-what great blessing would
this food supply prove to the country!
Suppose our rivers and other streams
were re,stocked with fine food fish
as water courses elsewhere are being
restocked-w what a help to the peo-
4 pie of the land would be this addi-
zion to their means of livingl Can
we afford to neglect a subject of SO
much importance? Let our farmers
give it their serious attention. Let
them lose no time in building their
ponds and filling them with fish
Let them see TO it that the laws for
the protection Of fish in their streams
are enforced, and but a short lime
will suffice to produce the most graf
flying results"

payers and teachers may be brought
into more immediate and harmonious

er is made to feel the Importance of

Utility Of his professional standing;
and by which he can better prepare
his mind and heart for the every day
duties Of his school,life. AS | have
but u limited acquaintance with the
teachers of this years appointment,
| would suggest that some active, in
telligent teacher or teachers in the
several Districts Of the county would
correspond with me on this subject,
or proceed to the organization of these
Institutes Immediately, or as soon as
circumstances may permit. l desire
the work of this year to meet public
expectations, and by an earnest effort
in the good work here suggest, Lam
olthe opinion, that these ex pectations
will be in a great measure realized.
Let the secretary of each Institute
send me u list Of teachers in his Dis.
trIct, also a register of attendance
upon the same. While there is no
compulsory demand made upon the
teachers to attend these Institutes, it
is well that the public should know
who are interested in their work, and
who are striving to prepare them
selves to teach our children intelli-
gently. Respectfully,

THE CANADIAN PACIFIC.

Speaking of the Canadian Pacific rail
road, Goodwin Smith says: "The object
Of the imperialists is to have a complete
interior line of communication without
passing through the United States. The
inter- olonial railway, which has been
bullt ut an immense cost and is still run
ct loss. is the eastern wing OF the line.
Ihe completion of this system Of politi-
cal and military railroads across the con-
tinent constitutes crisis in our dcstin-
les and in the joint destinics OF the two
countries. Your statesmen will have to
study Canada" And taken curiously
enough he adds: "'rhe company which
is to build the Pacific railway, our great

influence of sOZODONT is daily ex-

It has, moreover, very refreshing effect
upon the mouth, in which it leaves a
very agreeable taste, besides rendering
the breath fragrant. If the mouth be
rinsed with it after smoking, the taste Of
the tobacco is entirely dissipated. As

Ex-senator Mitchell, of Oregon, has
recived dispatch that at the Municipal
election at Portland, Oregon, the straight
republican ticket was successful over the
democrats, who united with some rcpub-
lican boilers. This is the first election
in the campaign to secure republican
successor to United States Senator
Grover.
If the signs fail not, divine hand has
been laid notably on the city Of Indian-
apolis. OF its $4,000 people nearly 5000
have publicly professed desire to lead
better life. In the phrase of the church,
5000 have been under conviction, 1000
have been converted. and half rs many

It is now said that the recent reports
of the critical character of the health of
Mrs. Abraham Lincoln are gross exag-

cheaper Chicago concern. The fact is
declared to be that Mrs. Lincoln, who is
residing with her sister, Mrs. Ninan w.
Edwards, at Springfield, ILL.,, is an inya-
lid, but her condition is not worse now
than it las been for some years.
The Denver Republican of the Doth

The latter were drawn into ambush but
only seven were killed and wounded
They then left the place. William May
and companions, who were reported
missing, have reached the big bend ol

the thirteen Indians engaged in the fight
had crossed the Colorado line and were
en- route to Uncomphagre agency with
their squaws and cattle. One squaw i.
reported shot, having received sho
while herding sheep. The Republican
adds: It is an important fact in estima
ting tho dangers caused by tho lat,

a COmical Outlaw.

A good story, with a touch of the
pathetic in it, is told regarding the no
torious outlaw of New Mexico, Allison
and distinguished editor now of Col
orado. The latter went Mt one time to
Trinidad and became the editor of IL
small daily publication at that place
called the Enterprise.
About that time Allison had
been raiding the saloons of Trinidad.
Feeling i'll an unusually happy mood
one morning the editor took up his pen
and dashed off the following brilliant
paragraph:
'Wo have curiosity to see this
pest Allison-this monster in human
form, from whom men run and hide"
On the next day about o'clock the
editor sat in his sanctum with his feet
cooked back and ripple of amusement
breaking over his handsome visage a.
he pursued the racy productions of his
fertile brain III the columns of the Eli
tcrprisc. a stronger built on an unusr-
ally tall frame suddenly threw open the
door, and striding into the room, an.
nomced himself as follows:
"My name is Allison-Clay Allison.
is Editor Dill in ?"
The mau in the chair hcsitated mo-
ment and then answered, "No, sir-Dill
is still i'll bed. My name is Smith,"
1t is Of this Allison that the story is
told regarding the killing of gambler
named Chubb at Cimarron, New Mexi-
CO. Court was in session when the m.ur-
der was committed, and the Sheriff took
Allison imm ediately before the Judge.
When Allison came to the front he sud-
denly whipped out big navy revolver,
and placing it before him on the table
said: "Judge, don't make no mistake 1
want justice done, md propose to hold
this court responsible.
''Sheritf, disarm the prisoner" said
tho Judge.
"Your Honor, beg to be excused, 1"
replied the Sheriff.
"Summon a posse" ordered the
Judge.
81 will kill the first man that moves, "
exclaimed Allison.
"This court stands adjourned for the
present term" was the only further
order of the court, and the prisoner and
the court moved out of the building
from opposite doors.

TRL-W EEKLY EDITION.
PARTED.

Can believe, what yet mine eyes have seen,
That we are parted who were once 80 near?
That far behind us lie the meadows green,
Where we no more may greet the early year,
And praise the dewy crocus buds, while yet
More happy In each other than in Spring?
If remember, how should you forget,
And leave me lonely in my wandering7
Can believe, what yet mine ears have heard,
That severed ls our sweet companionshp?
An autumn wind among the woodlands stirred
And blew your kisses from my grlcvlng lip;
TImo stepped between us and unclasped uul
hands
That reach In vain across the widening days;
Life met our wls3ful looks with stern commands,
And led US coldly down divided ways
Can believe, what yet my heart has felt,
That never more our paths will be the same7
That even now your joyous musings melt
To tendcrcr longing at dearer name?
Then say farewell, since that must be the word.
In lifc's strange journey may yet rejoice,
But still through all Its voices Will be heard
The lingering echo Of your vanished voice.
