When the whipping-post was general
throughout the South the plots, christian
people of the northern section Of this
Union held up their hands in horror when
they read Of culprit's backs being lashed.
Although the whipping post is used in
Virginia, Delaware is the only State in the
Union where the institution is maintained
and operated to perfection. OF recent
years the anathemas Of our northern chris
tian neighbors was hurled only at Della
ware, and she was rebuked continually for
cIinging to this "relic of barbarism. !"
Crime and sharp practices are spreading so
much 10 the North, now, that the people
of that section regard the punishment i'm
posed by law insufficient in some cases,
and they are beginning to sigh for the
whipping post 1t was only on Tuesday
that the Philadelphia Ledger was calling
for the whipping-post and lash for some
scoundrel who had been swindling and
robbing the poor of that city, whilst pre-
tending to be acting as agent for some
charitable society who proposed to gratui-
tously distribute coal. In various parts of
the North and West whipping as pun
ishment for wife-beatipg has been warmly
advocated It is a cheap, effective and
speedy way of administering justice, and
a yiolator Of the law rarely ever requires
o second introduction to it. i

Having been guest in your county on
the occasion below referred to, / thought TT
to offer, through your paper, tribute Of ar-
probation.
Mrs, w. Z. BECRAFT,
Augusta. Mich.
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. c. Markle celebrated tho
fortieth anniversary of their marriage, on
Thursday last, June 9Th, at their residence in
Porter. About one hundred guests partici-
pated in the pleasure of the occasion, and
the feast of reason and flow Of soul was sap
plemented by feast for the physical senses,
spread in the old orchard just out from the
house, where, under the garniture of nature,
the burdened table seemed appealing for re-
lief in invitations white and mute and shaped
like upturned plates; foamy cakes besought-
the beholder, and Strawberries smiled saucy
red-lipped challenges through mammoth glass
tureens. After thus regaling, the company
disposed itself in groups and circles about
the yard and il the house, and conversation
edifying and unconventional flowed freely
from happy veins of thought--the flash Of
wit and heat of argument easily keeping the
mesne of moderation in an atmosphere of
ice-cream and strawberries. Still ali .aces
wore look of something more. until tie
honored couple arose. supported by j. j.
Woodman and wife, and over their c0sped
hands Rev. S. Reeves. in words beautifully
befitting the occasion, asked divine blessing.
Thus was set another milestone along the
way of life. for these occasions are 10 mem
ory as monuments OF gladness IN tie back
ground of the past. and all should be made
better as well happier by them.

A singular incident occurred at the ware
house of Grimes q Weaver this city, on Mon
day last A little boy, son of the late Jacob
Keefer, between nine and ten years Of age, got
into grain bin filled with wheat, which was
about ten feet deep, to play. The wheat,
running from a spout in the centre Of the bin,
into the cars, drew the boy toward the spout
along the shifting funnel-shaped surface of the
wheat, until he was Immediately over the
spout, the wheat, mean time, from the upper
edge Of the funnel poured in upon him, until
he was covered M to his nose and almost
suffocated by the wheat His cries and strug-
giles brought assistance from three men, en-
ployei about the warehouse, who were unable
to extrcate him except by the use of shoTels.
The only part of the boy visible was the top
of his head Had no assistance been at hand
he must have been covered up and suifoeated
