Rev. Hines Benefit.

.H.EMMhGM 4L EEEAE .M@Mt4N = EGE4NF|-
The gathering at the residence Of
Mr.. j. G. Cittel, Tuesday evening Of
last week. in honor Of Rev. and Mrs.
Hines was = very enjoyable affair.
The commodious house was filled to
overlooking, sitting room, standing
room. and finally hooks on the wall
being at a premium.
Each church, social and political
club in town was numerously rep
res n ed. 1t was evident thatin his
residence among us Father Hines
has not gained an exclusive circle of
friends within the walls of his own
church, bnt has a warm corner in
the hearts of all his townsmen.
Though far past the three score
years and ten he is not only honor
ed for what he has done but for
what he is doing every day. His
energy and activity might well put
some of our younger men to shame.
The Gee of the meeting was
largely due to the energy of Mrs.
Ward Mallory and Mrs. J. G. Cittel.
The latter lady proved herself the
model hostess, and the music fur
fished by Mrs. NJ. and the bevy OF
scholars she has educated far up in
the profession was a treat to lovers
Of fine music.
After having a general social time
gifts to the value of over $50 We're
presented by their friends to Mr..
| and Mrs. Hines. G. II. Walwortll
delivered a brief presentation adj
dress. In his response. after return
ing thanks for the generosity of his
friends, Mr.. Hines gave the
men some pretty hard strokes
which elected hearty applause
from the ladies present. Our impress
sion is that the peculiarly pleasant
circumstances ofthe occasion brought
about by the ladies, made the veneer
able gentleman feel a little mellow
towards the gentler sex, at least he
gave them a fine benefit. Probably
he had inkling of the generous sup
ply of viands that we're immediately
after served up to the company with
hopes that a few acknowledged
chickens would be spared for the FL
der's lunch table. After the inner
man had been refreshed, considera.
bic merriment was excited by the
auction sale of divers mysterious
looking parcels, the contents OF
which it costs from a quarter to q
dollar to ascertain and which the
victims think the reading public
ought not to have at the regular
subscription price. Suffice it to say
to the unfortunate absent, that odd
things fell in strange places. The
company dispersed with a feeling
that SO much good cheer, SO genial Q
people and such happy results do not
often NEE. under one roof the same
evening.

THROUGH THE ICE.-McNamara and
Conner, two citizens living in the vi
cinity of Sunnyside, this county,
came to town last Thursday with
loads of hogs. They disposed of
their swine, remained in town over
night, and on Friday morning start
ed for the timber to load with wood
for the return trip as we shall pre-
sumo. They proceeded by what
would be the shortest cut in a dry
time, down by Wilson's, intending
to cross the slough on the ice. The
slough here is perhaps half a mile
wide and as much as ten feet deep
ut the deepest point, near the oppo-
site side. No other team has at
tempted TO cross here yet this sea-
son, even footmen considered it sea-
w, and carried a board where the
water is deepest. AT the edge to-
ward town where the water is shall
low the ice is six Or eight inches thick
and has the appearance of being safe
to drive on but it gradually gets thin
ner as the water gets deeper, and the
mild weather Of the previous few
DAYS had added much to the unlik-
likood Of safe crossing. Mcnamara
and and Conner drove upon the ice
and kept OH till their horses feet
began to break through; they then
tried to turn round, but too late,
both teams went down close together
about two-thirds of the way across
the slough in water too deep for the
horses to touch bottom. Willie
Wilson was the first to become
aware of their dangerous position;
he rode up town and gave the alarm
when a party of men with ropes,
boards, etc, fastened to the relief
With considerable difficulty three Of

Judge Blair returned home last
Friday, from Pella, Iowa, where he
went a few weeks ago to have his
eyes treated by DR.. Geo. Allen, OF
that place. When the Judge left
here, it was feared by his friends
that he would never be able to use
his eyes again, as he vas almost to-
tally blind, but he returns to us
looking and feeling irst-rate with
his eyes almost as good as new.
DIR. Allen has had remarkable
success in the treatment Of inhama-
ton and diseases of the eye. Be-
sides Judge Blair, DR.. Allen has

well known citizens of this county,

A correspondent Of Nature, writing
from Cambridge, Mass, says: Alady
friend Of mine, was at one time ma
tron of hospital for poor women
and children which was maintained
by subscription. One Of the inmates
was blind girl who was there not
as . patent, but temporarily till ,
home could be found for her. She
had learned to feed herself, and st
meal times tray containing he dinner
was placed on her knees as she sat in
q comfortable chair for her special
convenience in feeding herself. One
day while she was eating, the pet cat
of the establishment placed herself
before the girl and looked long and
earnestly at her, 80 earnestly that the
n.atron, fearing the animal meditated
some mischief to the girl, took her
out of the room. Again the next
day, at the same hour, the cat entered
the room, but this time walked quietly
to the girls side, reared herself ON her
hind legs, and noiselessiy, stealthily
reached out her paw to the plate, Sc
lected and seized morsel that pleased
her, and, selenuy as she came, de-
parted to enjoy her stolen meal. The
girl never noticed her loss, and when
told of it by her companions laughed
very heartily.
It is evident that the cat from OBJ
servatisn had entirely satisfied herself
that the girl could not see, and by
process Of reasoning decided she could
steal good dinner by this practical
use of her knowledge.

warmly. Jim seemed liked one dazed
The farm not his! The deed burned
Could it be possible?
Before he was fully aware of the
situation Eliza came in, the father told
her of the destruction Of the deed and
his reasons for doing it. Already
she knew that something was amiss,
so the blow was not SO crushing in
its effect upon her, and she walked
up to Mr.. Lamson kissed him on
cheek and said: "Of course, dear
father, you will do as you please in
the matter" and left the room TO
perhaps breakfast Then Jim re
pearsd her words parrot-like, and
went to the barn TO chew the cud OF
renlorse. ..
Mr.. Lamson lived five years longer,
then died With an appoplectic shock, as
his daughter law had predicted ;
but he never had occasion to regret
that he burned the deed. His heart
had softened more and more to his
children, he only holding the reins, al
lowing them to manage the affairs OF
