IF man wants to be shot down
according to the Code he wouldn't
ask better State than South Carolina
TO have 1t done i'm and Colenel Cash of
Cashville would be easily without
competitors for the job. A more per-
feet gentleman of the old school is not
to be imagined. Taking offense at
Colonel Shannon s manner of conduct
ing lawsuit, Colonel Cash called him
out and killed him., Having been
tried and acquitted murder under the
Code being no crime in that region),
Colonel Cash points with pride to the
late lamented and breaks out in this
tender vein: "No Drawer man ever bit
the dust. He died upon the ramparts
of the enemy, and, with smile upon
his face, dropped into hero's grave"
The grave is robbed OF its terror and
murder becomes the most delicate of
attentions when such eloquent words
are mingled with the grave-flowers by
the finisher of the lovcd-and-lost's ex-
istence.--Philadelphia Press.

Washington, August 29.--As hope
returns, more is learned in detail oi
the terrible anxiety of last Friday. 1t
appears that the surgeons, after the
alHrming symptoms OF the morning.
decided that it was useless TO longer
continue the struggle, aud two Of
their number were selected to wait
upon Mrs. Garfield and to inform her
that medical science could 40 no more
ana that she must prepare for the
worst. The interview which occurred
between these surgeons and Mrs. Gar
field will, if reports are true, be re.
gardc,! is one Of the most dramatic in
cilents in this extraordinary case.
Captain henry Marshal of this district
Il friend OF the president and his FAM
ily, says that Mrs Garfield heard the
news with great composuro, and that,
smothering her emotion, she arose
and said 'Gentlcmen, you shall not
give him up. lie ls not going To die;
le l. going to live. I feel, / know il.
Go back to your post, every one ogyOu,
and leave IL not until every remedy is
exhausted; until death itself has set
his seal upon him, for / will not be-
lieve that he is dying. Go back and
DO what J on can; you cannot do more,
but don t give up. am his wife, and
1 say that we will not give up un-
til the end itselfis upon us" Mrs. Gar
field has never surrendered more than
IA moment or two at tune to her grief,
and then she has retired to her room,
after brief absence has returned to
her post of duty at the presidents
bedside. Mrs. Edison says that the
president is doing spiendidIy. He is
taking his noUTishnent and she is eX-
tremely hopeful. DIR. Boynton, too,
is more hopeful this morning, and
says he thinks he notices an improved
condition in the blood. There are
also microscopic Indications that the
food is assimiluting properly. The
president can open his mouth easily
and he tastes his food.

On this bright summer morn,
While the Clerk of the weather
Smiles so placid and warm,
And the rays Of the sunshine,
BE they brilliant or mild
SHINE not in their high noon-time
As the face of each child.
Now the low voice of nature,
Echoes faint the glad shout
OC each jubllant creature
Gone quite wild In their route
As they romp through the woodland,
In their frolicsome glec
No gloomy stole could stand
Their glad spirits so free.
Yes the mood of the widest,
Mid the old and the young,
Has enivened the mildest,
For their JOY found a tongue;
Brought sweet cheer to the oldest
A renewal of youth
And retempered the boldest
With its innocent truth.
May the days as we wander
Through the mazes OF time
No sweet harmony squander
OF each musical chime
Which caught up from the Keynote
That rings out sweet ana clear
May now and ever denote
glad Jubilee year.
On Wednesday morning we were
gathered by the teams which were
kindly rendered us. Long before the
dinner hour we were variously en-

The recent death of Mrs. AIillard
Fillmore recalls singular incident
connected with her two husbands. In
lS47, while she was the wife of Hon.
Ezekiel Mcintosh of Albany, Mr.. Fill
more was candidate for the position OF
State Comptroller of New York.
Some persons who desired to uefeat
his election raised about S2J, 900 for
the purpose and placed it in the hands
Of Mr. Mcintosh, instructing him to
place ii in bank in his own name ami
not to make the matter public He
did as desired, but before the hlnd
could be drawn out to use for election
purposes the treasurer fell sick aud
died. Mr.. Fillmore was elected Comp
troller, and many years afterwards
married Mrs. Mcintosh, aud received
as part of her doWry, the money that
had been raised to defeat his election.
The ex-President used to enjoy telling
the story, and often remarked that the
"money was" "placed where il would
do the most good" to him.

\ SAD ACCIDENTAL serious acci-
dent occurred at the recently erected
saw mill Of Samuel Frampton, on
what is known as the Kearney farm,
near Strattonsville, in Clarion town
ship on Wednesday forenoon of last
week. The mill had been started up
for trial, when it was discovered that
the machinery was working hard
and the sawyer, Mr.. George B. Down
ing, stopped the saw for the purpose Of
oiiing the shafts connected with the
log carriage, and while Walter, his
son, was in the act of oiiing, he
thoughtlessly placed his hand to rest
on the cOg-wheel. His father, think
ing everything ready started the
carriage forward, and the young mans
hand caught in the cogs, and his arm
was drawn into the wheel and his
hand and aim crushed to the
elbow, leaving the marks of the cOgs
on the crushed mass. DR.. John
Thompson, OF Corsica was called, who
decided that amputation was necessary
and with the assistance of DR.. r. b.
