ssOyer the River,

John Herman, a Frenchman, who
came to Eaton some several years ago
and worked by turns at the cabinet-mak-
ing business for Darragh and Harshman,
about two years ago squatted on the
banks of Sevenmile creek close to town,
and erected himself a o~ne-story frame
shanty in which he dwelt the life of a re-
cluse until Wednesday morning of last
week. The incessant rains of the two
previous days had swollen the creek
bank full and surrounded his little do
micile with about a foot of water, from
which he emerged early on the said
morning and unloosing a small boat he
had anchored close by, jumped into it
and started out in the turbulent stream,
on a voyage of search, as he proclaimed,
for his wife, whom it seems was lost
some few years ago in crossing the wa
ters to join him in this country. The
swift current whirled him rapidly down
the stream for half a mile, when his frail
structure was overturned with no one
ACd1 W CLiOC III dlQ u ASSl6Id1CC, al
though two or three persons witnessed
him start out on his perilous voyage and
followed him a short distance, but the
rapid current soon lost him to their
sight. His boat was found in the alter
noon of the same day, and although,di
igent search was kept up all Of Wednes-
day and most of the night, the body.of
the unfortunate and demented Herman.
was not discovered until the afternoon Of
the next day, concealed under some drift
wood, almost in a nude condition and
but a few rods from where his boat was
picked up.
The deceased was probably 90 years
old, excentric in his habits, quiet and in
offensive, except when interfered with
or disturbed by obtruding visitors, which
sometimes was the case, when he would
exhibit a violent and malicious temper
and make direful threats of vengeance.
No one knew anything of his history, as
he always refused to communicate any
thing about himself, and if questioned.
on the subject would reply, ssnene of
your business" or ego to the Devil
Considerable interest was manifested
among some of the citizens to find the
body of Herman, because it was current
ly reported and believed that he wore a
belt around his body well filled with
"flthy lucre'' in the shape of round
French gold pieces, but nothing of the
kind was on his person, and the only
worldly possessions known to have been
left by him, are his dwelling, a silver
watch, a set of tools and his cooking
utensils. Because when found he was
almost stripped of his clothing, some
persons are suspicious enough to hint
that the body had been tempered with
by others than those who brought it to
light, and the concealed wealth taken
from it. We don't believe it., although
it may look a little singular how he be-
came Invested of his clothing.
The Coroner held an inquest on the
body of the deceased and returned YER
dict of ''death by drowning" but wheth-
er accidentalor intentional, there vas no
evidence to determine.

FRIEND COULD am much moved
at this time to write another letter to
thee. l have written to thee some
times in the past, but nay poor letters
seem to awaken the sore ~displeasures
of some, and are treated by others as
the silly ideas Of a poor old man af-
fiicted with the simplicity of second
childhood. l tell thee, friend Gould,
under the shadow, of many broad
brimmed hats, and in the quiet of
many country homes are thoughts and
ideas which, like rare old coins, have
the ring of true metal. Verify, Ihave
almost learned to love Oscar Wilde,
because he has brought back to the
garden walks the broad-faced sun
flower, and the hollyhock blooms by
the porch as it used to when the bees
sweet hum of industry was the minor
to the music of my grandmother's
spinning wheel. 1 tell thee, friend
Gould, as l sit under the frightening
shadows of eventide, my heart turns
to the good old days when yea and
nav were full of meaning, and relig-
ious faith and sentiments were 80 pos
tive as to be almost palpable forms,
and political PRINCIPLES were in ex-
istence as such, and political leaders
had backbone, and truths were truths
and lies were lies. Cody men held
the reins of power and the people re-
ioiced. l know that it will be said to
thee, why dost thou fill up the col
umns of thy paper with the complain
ing of poor old "Lorenzo 2" The old
fashioned fellow is too far behind the
times for this age of wonderful pro-
gress, and why will thee allow his tal-
Iow-dip to flicker and sputter amid
the electric lights of to-day?
True, friend Gould, they may think
it unseemly and unwise in thee, but
as lovers of beauty and sweet perfume
would stop beside a bank of old-fash'
toned violets when the tulip manis
ragged in the land and thoughts and
memories on swift wings would fiji
from the then present to the far of
past and come back full freighted. Sc

The area OF high barometer that overlies
the Atlantic coast districts has retarded the
the eastward movement of the depression
that was over the lakes on Saturday very
much during tho past "a hours, and has
uacd steep gradients for southerly winds
to form over the central valleys. The centre
OF the disturbance is now over the
Upper Mississippi Valley, but its influence
extends over very large territory. 1t will
probably move northeastward to-day, and
pass towards the Gulf Of s.. Lawrence
without seriously affecting the districts
south of Pennsylvania and Now Jersey
Rains fell on the Middle Atlantic coast and
in the lake regions. Snow is reported from
the Northwest. Elsewhere fair or hazy
weather prevailed. The temperature re
mained nearly stationary except in the
central valleys and Southwest, where it rose.
Brisk to strong winds blow in the central
valleys and lake regions. In the other dis
tricts they were from fresh to light. The
weather in New York and Its vicinity to-day
will be warmer and partly cloudy or hazy,
with showers. To-morrew promises to be
warm, cloudy and rainy, followed by lower
temperature and clearing.

Barthoiomew's wonderful Horses

The first performance of Professor Bar
tholomew's educated horses was well at
tended last night by delighted audience,
who left fully impressed with the wonders
of horse sense. For two hours the Professor
put his 10 horses through all manners OF
cvolutions, principally simply by word OF
mouth. All the animals are perfect spcci-
mems and it is hard to comprehend the
patience and skill that have brought them
to so clearly understand and obey the words
of their master. They do everything, and
more too, that horse might be expected to
accomplish and like the human family ap-
pear fond of praise and applause. 1t is hard
to particularize any special feat, as all are
good but the jumping of Sprite over the
backs of three others was undoubtedly the
most difficult of all, They will be at the
Opera House every night this week.
