After a brief illness of few hours, on
Sunday evening the 3rd inst, HELLSER
IsLER, infant son Of Dick and Stella Isler.
This sweet little boy is gone from our
midst gone like the silvery dew Of the
morning; gone like the mist that me is
from the mountain side; gone to that
beautiful shore where strife and pain
ceases. lis said that death loves IA shin
ing mark, and the loss of this bright child
is q conspicuous proof of the truth Of the
quotation. Sinless as an angel. pure as
the zephyr's hymn-Oue whose laugh was
as the gush of summe rlls lettering In
bower of roses, whose little life was 4
perpetual litany, a may-time crowued
with the passion flowers that fade. Oh!
how hard 10 submit 90 God school Of
ehastisement. His unfoldings are mystic
rious yet as a child we must bow before
this mystery. Be comforted, dear hereRv-
ed ones, and know that mercitul God is
with you and that The lealeth the blind
by the way they know NOT What do
thou knoWest not now, but shall know
hereafter. Wait patiently, the cloud VIII
break away and your eyes will behold the
rainbow of mercy. = ERiESD-

The protracted cold weather has bad
the effect of retarding the premature bud
ding Of fruit trees, that too frequently
occurs during an open winter, and the re-
sult will doubtless be a large increase in
the fruit crops. Small fruits will also do
well. the heavy SHOWS serving TO protect
them from the nipping frosts, and also
preventing the freezing out that takes
place in a severe winter when the ground
becomes solid for considerable depth
below the surface.
CRY REvENUE The Council want
to clean up and repair the streets as early
as possible this year, and must have mon
ey to do il; so taxpayers must prepare for
on early call from the tax collector. 1t
seems to have become q settled opinion
among the people that it is the duty Of
the City Clerk to collect license any way
he can, when, IN fact, the lao makes il the
insperatCe duty of all persons engaged in
any business, for which license is re-
ouired, 20 90 to ke eity clerk, procure and
pav for their license in advdnee. So pay
up your license, or look out for the city

Ma. EDrToR.-I have read = greS. deal
about Capt. Kids treasures" and the
hunts that people have had hoping to dig
them up, in different parts of the country
and some years ago ! read in the Hick
man COURIER that some old citizens of
Hickman had some reason for believing
that the said fabulous treasure was buried
ia the hills about Hickman. that they
were digging for it, sc. Tell us the his
tory of this treasure, &c KIDD.
ARsper.-In 1898 while Massachusetts,
aud New York we're yet British colonies,
Lord Bellomont, the then Governor of
these colonies, commissioned Que Capt.
Wm. Kidd, and supplied him with ship
and men, to extermi ate piratical vessels
on the high sees. After being thus equip
ped, Kidd proved to be TIE worst pirate
on the seas. England ordered his arrest,
and Kidd surrendered to Lord Bellomout
on condition he should have fair chance
TO prove his innocence. Belloment, as
Governor, was to get one-half Kids
prizes, aud he was suspected of having
guilty knowledge of Kids piratical
| transactions. After Kidd surrendered,
he offered if Lord Bellomont would per
init him to go, under guard, he would
show where the treasures were buried;
but Bellomont refused; and ordered him
to be tried for different ofense-the
killing of one of his crew, for which
Kidd was condemned and hanged, and
the secret Of the buried treasures died
with him. For many years afterward
I i ID
out limitations of where this fabulous
amount could be dug up. 1t is under
stood that Kidd, when he would make q
| successful capture" would run into
some of the rivers emptying into the
ocean, and find hiding place for his
..booty." This is about all the chance for
Hickman to have been the deposit ground.
