Dewey Thompson, . very estimable young
man Of about 80 years Of age, living two miles
west Of this village, was killed on Wednesday
last, while at work alone in the woods. 1t APP
pears that he had gone to the woods for the
purpose OF hauling out some logs, and while
IN the act Of loading large one on the sleighs,
the chain broke and the log rolled back and
crushed him. When found by his sister, the log
lay directly ACROSS his chest, and death must
have ensued almost instantly. Not having re-
turned to his dinner as usual that day, one Of
bis sisters went out TO ascertain the cause. By
following the track his sleigh had made, she
found him in the position rs above stated. As
sIstance was called and his body was removed
to the house. His death is severe blow to the
bereaved family, for upon him his widowed
mother and sisters relied for their support
The funeral will be held at the house on

Every day we have new illustrations Of the
fact that truth is stranger than felton," To
illustrate this the following plain. unvarnished
tale" as related by widow lady residing not q
thousand miles from this place, is directly in
point. Some six weeks ago she left this vicinity
for the purpose Of canvassing among the gentle
sex for new and improved method OF cutting
dresses, and succeeded in making q brilliant
$40 per week from her labor. While driving
this thriving trade at Mendon, Michigan, this
charming widow met wealthy broker at Medi-
ma, Ohio, who at once proceeded, after the most
approved and orthodox manner, to WOO and win
her for his wife, and the coy widow, after the
usual show OF reluctance and modesry on her
and flesh Of his flesh" and the happy pair were
united in the bonds OF matrimony after an &C
quantaDce Of just three weeks. But alas for
human hopes and happiness within day or
two after the wedding, and just as the happy
husband had arranged his business affairs in
such way rs to permit them to start on their
bridal tour, he was suddenly taken Ill and died
within five minutes. His dlsconsolate widow
had nothing left but to return home from Men
don and await settlement of her deceased hus-
bands estate and eventually to enjoy the large
amount Of filthy lucre that falls to her lot. A
few days since an uncle y Of the deceased Che
looked amazingly like travelling drummer--we
almost said bummer) visited the disconsolate
widow and remained with her several days and
nights making arrangements in reference to .
settlement of the estate; and thus was the lady
. widow wife and widow within less than q
month, with . prospect of being raised from q
condition OF abject poverty to one where she
will roll in wealth. Should any OF our readers
think that the circumstances above related are
improbable, that the geography OF the narrative
is at fault, that they ought to have heard more
about it, or feel disposed in any way to criti-
else the accuracy OF this account, we are not at
all responsible 80 We only chronicle the facts "a
told by the widow herself, and II any one doubts
their truth we can point out the veritable uncle
who visited her and the identical yellow hood
under which she mourns.

become 30 identified with the manufacture aud

they are justly considered as the highest author
ty IN this country, II not in the world, upon

The former. prof. H. has made the subject
OF wheat and it's conversion into bread, life
long study, and was the first to suggest the use
of the phosphates as a cream tartar substitute,
whereby the nutritious elements which are ia
ken from the flour in boiling are restored.
The phosphate preparations OF the above firm
have received the hearty recommendation OF
the highest medical and chemical authorities in
this and other countries, so that their health
fulness and utility are beyond question. They
have been put upon the market in various forms
the latest, and one which will undoubtedly prove
the most popular, being Prot. Horsfords Pbos-
phatic Baking Powder" which is packed in TIN
cans like the ordinary baking powders, and is to
be used in the same way. 1t Is made from Prof.
Horsfords Acid Phosphate in powdered form.
II contains the same ingredients, mixed togeth-
er az the famous Horsford's Bread Preparation,
is fully equal in strength IL not superior, to any
Of the ordinary first-class baking powders, and

Is sent free on application, and will be found
we'll worth sending for.

give them public acknowledgment for their
kind sympathy and favor, as expressed by their
watchful care and kind attendance during the
sickness OF my loving companion. Also to the
many ladies who contributed so profusely those
beautiful flowers, as the parting expression OF
their regard. 1t Is another proof to my own
