RIcHLAND, Jan. 80, 1882. Since
my last correspondence, we as q
community have met with great
and sad loss in the death of our es-
teemed friend d. Leotas Roe, son Of
Mrs. L. N. Grill, and brother Of Mrs.
J. D. Wood.
We are safe in asserting that the
amiable deceased never had an enc

who knew him, old and young. He
passed frum this life Thursday, Jan.
18th, at 4:3O p. M, Of heart disease
moro directly. He fully realized
that his moments were very few
and bid all around him a last good
bye, and requested the family TO biz
all the boys goodbye for him.

almost any moment for the pas
year, though at times he would r.
vive and be quite cheerful, and b

A FAMILY Fuss. On last Satur-
day q case Of domestic infelicity
with some bad features in it was
brought to the attention Of
Justice Smythe. Mrs. A. J. Clark
entered complaint against her hus-
band for beating her. He was ar
rested in the early part of the day,
and for some reason or other the
case adjourned till afternoon. Dur
ing the time the case was thus pend
ing mutual friends interfered and
persuaded the malcontents to settle
the affair without further legal pro-
ceeding; at least at that time. The
terms of the domestic treaty were, in
effect, that the case should be drop
ped; the husband agreeing to con-
vey to the wife their residence pro-
perry north of the railroad and not
oppose her future application for
a divorce. 1t is likely to result in
a complete division of the blankets
SO to speak. Justice Smythe was
| on his ear to a certain extent in the
the afternoon when the prosecuting
witness failed to appear, and came
within an ace of sending an officer
for her, but finally let the matter
drop.

Tho RelndOer.

The reindeer, which in one way or
another manages to be almost the Ell
tire support OF the Lspps who have
herds, is large, heavy animal, with re-
msrkable independence of character.
He will rot accept shelter under cover,
no matter how Indictment the weather
may be. Neither will be eat any food
that is offered; he prefers to seek his
own sustenance, which consists princi-
pally of a peculiar moss, and as this
grows very slowly, requiring about
seven years in which to reach maturity,
the Lapp must shift his homo from
time to time to meet tho necessities oil
his herd. In midwirter the moss may
be covered by several feet of snow,
but the deer digs hole with his feet
and disappears from the surface. bur
rowing his way through the snow as be
follows his nose from one tuft OF moss
to another. The fieeh of the reindeer
is quite pslatable ard nutritious, his
skin makes very warm garments IS well
as durable harness, and cheese made
of reindeer milk is very rich. although
the quantity of milk yielded per day
seems scarcely worth the taking, as il
amounts to mere teacupful.

who lays down the axiom that Kaowl-

solemn warning to ensmored Bene-
diets: "He that hath wife and

Thurlow. 1.-THE greatest happiness of

To Laviathan Hobbies We owe the sage
maxim, "Words are wise mems count.

John Selden who suggests that by
throwing straw into the cir you may
see the way of the wind; ana to his con-
