There seems to be a good deal of un
certainty in the land as to the appear

Whether it win be as small as a butch

ting to find out. 10
Rev. q. T. Sullivan, who several years
ago discharged the duties of Pastor o
the Christian church in Eaton for abour
two years, died of consumption on the
cars at Albuquerque, N. NJ, last week:
while on his way from California width
er he had gone to seek his health. Du'
ring his pastorage here he made many
warm friends who will regret to learn o.
his sudden death.
We heard of a we'll circumstanced par
ty in Eaton who expressed considerable
sorrow on learning that the prospect Of
raising the amount to improve the Springs
was not very brilliant, and that they
would likely remain in their normal con.
dition until another more liberal and pro-
gressive generation would inhabit our
lovely village. The sorrow of the per-
son, however, eve touched the place it
ought to have-the pocket-book.
When any man presumes to become a
dictator of public morals, and desires to
make all men shape their lives after his,
it's just about ripe time to have his brains
kicked out by a mule.I[Springield Sum

Very good. If you know of a real
hard, reliable kicker, send him down
here instanter. We have one or two of
that sort of moral dictators in eur midst,
and Well guarantee a job for the mule as
soon as he strikes the Washing
ton G. II. Register.
Same in Eaton.

The "Wallack Tripologue Troupe"
gave two entertainments in Eaton on
Monday and Tuesday evenings last, that
received the plaudits of all who witness
ed them. Miss Fanny Wallack fills her
part to a "T'' and is a beautiful and
pleasant singer, to hear her is alone
worth the price. of admission. They will
give two entertainments at Camden,
Wednesday and Thursday evenings, and
we bespeak for them full house in our
neighboring village, as their exhibitions
deserve it.
The explosion of a can of oil put on the
cooking stove to warm up at the Eagle
Hotel, on Sunday evening last, came very
near l-indling a fire inside the building
that would have made fearful destruction
once started. The contents of the can
blazed and lit up the culinary depart
ment of the hotel as if enveloped in
flames, attracting the attention of all
around and causing the alarm of "fre"
to be whooped and the Engine to steam
up for work, but before it got out word
was sent that its services would not be
required. The proprietor of the eagle"
may congratulate himself under the cir
cumstances, of his lucky escape from any
serious damages.
A poor old horse that no doubt had
served his owner faithfully for 10, these
many years, and then heartlessly turned
ed out to seek his own support, was found
on last Friday morning lying on the side
walk in front of the Reichel House, in a
very pitiful and unfortunate condition
from want of food and exposure. A SYM
pathetic crowd of our citizens gathered
around and finally raised him to his feet
and walked him off, but he died in a very
short time afterwards. A man who will
use a poor dumb brute until he is worn
out and broke down with kicks and hard
labor and then turn him out to shift for
himself, is worse than a heather, and
should be deprived of the right to own
anything of the brute creation except a
vicious mule that would some day early
in life kick him to death.
Ateam of horses belonging to Mr.. Ho.
man, hitched near the depot on Satur'
day afternoon last, getting frightened al
the cars tore loose. and came down Bar
ron street at a break-neck speed, and in
turning the Court House corner collided
with an iron hitching post, tumbling one
of the horses on the sidewalk and driv'
ing the tongue of the wagon into the neck
of a fine grey mare belonging to Mr.. Tyr
rell, OF. West. Alexandria, which was
standing hitched to a buggy where the
team collided,, cutting a cash in the ami
NAL large enough to put the fist Of a mar
into, which will disable her from service
for a long time, if she ever fully recover!
from the wound. Squire Morton made .
very narrow escape from being run int
while sitting in his buggy in the street
the wheels of the runaway wagon pass
ing underline neck of his horse.
