VIM. Bradley, of Carson City, Nevada died
Feb. IS, 1882, near stockton, California OF
Pneumonia.
Though kind parents were not there
to gather the last words that fell from
his tongue, that is forever silent; though
kind sisters and brothers were in distant
lands and could not be around his bed
side to administer to his wants and
comfort him in his pain and anguish.
Yet his friends find it q source OF
comfort, in this, their hour of grief and
bereavement, to know that he was sur.
rounded by friends of his earlier years,
who stood by him to the last as true as
though it were parent, sister and broth.
erS.
The loved, the loving brother, coun.
selor and guide, died; ere manhood
morning reaches its meridian height,
he had not passed on life's great
thoroughfare, the spot that marks the
highest point, but being weary he lay
down to rest, and fell into that dream,
less sleep, from which no turmoil and
excitement can disturb his peaceful
slumber.
He was the friend of all who came
within the broad compass Of his acquain.
lance. To all he extended the hand OF
friendship and fidelity, while his be-
nevolence knew no bounds. There
was, there is, no nobler mind and char.
acter than his.
Yet after all it may be best, just in
life's happiest, sunniest hours, when
friends and associations had gathered
around him and on his forehead fell the
golden dawning of a better day. But,
alas! That grim messenger, who viii
visit each and all and from whose GRASP
no human power can release us; seized
him, and babe him say farewell tc
earthly ties and fond hopes now severed
and broken.

Mr.. Harper held teachers examina-
ton in Fennimore the 18th and 10th of
this month. We understand from the
Superintendent that the number of APP
plic;lnts for certificates is unusually
small. If this means fewer teachers,
but more efficient and better paid ones,
it will work well for the educational in
terests of the country.

Shrader's Hall last Saturday evening.

LAST Friday came within but very
little of being observed as day of fast
ing and prayer in this city The cause
of this feeling OF humility was the recep-
ton ofthe news that 4 Monroe jury had
awarded the plaintiff in the McLimans
case $4,000 damages In ten minutes
after this terrible outcome was known
every man on the street looked as if he
had just lost his mother-in-law Con-
ference meetings were held on every
corner and wherever little knots of two
or three were gathered together, there
was the '-McLimans case in the midst
of them. The celebrations which went
up FROM stricken people in those days
would have brought tears to the eyes of
the most >teny-hearted The discussion
and conclusion which took place during
that period Of woe was enough to break
down the reputation Of even the best
regulated community. Now, however,
u feeling Of settled grief is seen upon
every face, somewhat the same kind of
look aS is noticed when parties are
discovered borrowing a few chickens
when the night is unusually dark. The
question now before the house is to paw
or not to pay. In the language of the
poet; verify the Philistines have laid hold
