Bloomington.

Quite a delegation attended the funeral
of David Perrin who was buried at the
Dodge school house two weeks ago.
Mr.. Perrin had lived among us and had
been a pupil at our school for several
years. In all those years we had learn
ed to respect him for his many sterling
qualities aud it was a sad duty to have to
lay away one so full of promise, so
young and so affable as David was, but
that fatal disease consumption, had fast
ened its relentless hold on him and for
a long time ii was a battle for life and
health. All remedies had failed, yet
David could hardly give up, "Oh. dear
said he to the writer hereof, lit is hard
for me to surrender all those problems
and plans which / had formed and fond
hopes which l had expected to realize
when | should arrive at mans estate"
And it was hard to see one so eloquent,
so enthusiastic, so industrious, and yet
so gentle taken when all that he desired
was within his reach. He had studied
law with a zeal seldom manifested by
law students generally and his retentive
memory had stored away many impor-
tant points in that intricate and impor-
tant science. Hewas always truthful and
reliable, and he was wise beyond his
years-a natural artist-he could paint
by word, pen OF pencil anything he
undertook, true to nature. Being of a
poetical turn he readily drank deep into
natures recesses and portrayed her
beauties in a fascinating manner He
tolerated none of those small vices which
SO many of the youth of our country de-
light to indulge in. As an orator he had
few equals in these parts and he was
an enthusiastic Republican believing in
the principles of that party and boldly
advocating them from the rostrum when
called upon to do so by the leaders of the
party. Many friends of the deceased in
and about Bloomington sympathize with
the family OF Mr.. FERN in the untimely
loss of this talented son.
Friendship is not 8 plant OF hasty growth.
Though planted in esteem's deep final soil,
The gradual culture OF kind int rcourse,
Must bring 1T TO perfection"
We must drop the subject of the dead
and deal with the living. The Christ
mas times passed off very pleasantly in
Bloomington. A large ball at the city
hall gave the young people ample oppor-
tunity to exercise their festive heels.
The merchants have been full of bust
ness yea, more than they could do in
daylight, so much so that it took a great
part of the night to satisfy their many
customers yet they bore the affection
! with christian fortitude. They dealt

The case of James Robinson for re-
lease on a writ of habeus corpus, came
up in the County Court, Judge McGon-
igal presiding, last Thursday afternoon.
Robinson was sent up some three or
four months ago on a six months sem
lance for beating his s~ister-in-law. The
claim for release was contained, as stat
ed by counsel for the prisoner w. f.
Bell, on the ground that mo Judge
ment had ever been rendered in the
matter and il a judgement had been
rendered the justice had lost jurisdic-
ton by a%djourning court from 1880 to
lp. M" j. j. Crawford was worn and
testified; he was a justice of the peace
for the town of Hazel Green and before
whom James Robinson had been
brought. The Justices docket vas pro-
duced. The record showed that com
plaint had been made before the jus.
tice and a warrant issued by him fol-
the arrest of Robinson for assaulting
and beating his sister-in-law. The pri.
soner had been brought before the
court and pleaded guilty, adjournment
was then taken until four o'clock in tn,
afternoon when sentence was passed.
After the production of the usual guam
tity Of calf bound legal lore and argu
ments. by Messrs Bell and Lowry
Judge McGonigal decided that tho
record was defective in certain essen
tial parts and ordered the prisoner dis
charged. Robinson smiled a smile

COMMERCIAL


The prevalent tone of the stock mar
ket during the past week has been one
OF n~nsteadiness. The weakness and
instability of the eastern markets has
somewhat checked the enthusiasm of
local buyers but such lots as came in
were taken al fair prices. The local
receipts were light, which was proba-
bly, as much. to its being holiday
week as to the state of the market.
Prices for the coming week will hard
ly prove much better than the week
past if present indications go for any
thing. If a tone of steadiness at rulino
prices is infused it viii be all that is ex-
pected.
The Chicago markets closed the week
at prices substantially the same as the

WALLACE Voss, son of William Voss,
county surveyor of Lafayette county,
shot his father recently. The shot
passed first through the old mans hand
and then struck in the center of his
forehead, thence around the head under
the skin inflicting a painful but not
dangerous wound. The cause of the
shooting was a disagreement between
father and son. during which the former
ordered the boy to leave home and
threatened to shoot him if he did not 60.
The Darlington Republican, from which
the above particulars are obtained, says
other rumors are afloat but nothing re-
liable.

Letting The C0nfracf.

The committee appointed at the meet
ing of the County Board to provide for
the care of the poor and insane for the
next five years, finished their session
last Wednesday. After due delibera-
ton, they re-let the contract to Mr.. r.
u. Showalter, on the same terms he now
has it; namely, SLIGO per week for pau
pers and $500 for insane. This action
of the Board was entirely within their
powers, but as it was understood there
was a number who would bid for the
contract, a reporter started out on a
voyage Of exploration after the true in
wardness of the action of the committee.
Members of the committee were found
and given an opportunity to unburden
themselves, which they did, to the effect
that after meeting it was found a hard
thing to tell which was best, whether
to continue the present contract or hire
a Superintendent, Finally it was con-
cluded hat as the matter must remain
for a time an experiment, if Mr.. Sho-
walter, the present contractor, could be
induced to continue at the present o
tract price they would re-let the contract
to him. Mr. Showalter was heard, and
after some thinking said he would take
charge of the paupers and insane On the
terms proposed, provided the committee
would allow him the privilege of letting
go if he could not care for his charges
humanely and as they ought to be cared
for, at the price. The county has al
ways had the right to annul a contract
when the board is dissatisfied with the
management of the poor farm. Ac-
cordingly with these mutual privileges,
a settlement was effected, and the pres
ent Superintendent continues for an
other term. Under the terms of the
contract, the county furnishes all the
bedsteads and solid furniture in the in
sane asylum, while Showalter furnishes
everything else.
Mr.. Showalter himself was afterwards
run down and interviewed on the SUBJ
ject. In answer to inquiry, he said that
it was true he had taken the contract
again, although it was rather against
his will. The Board, however, had
wished him to do so, and he had taken
1T on the same terms as at present. But
he was doubtful as to whether he could
come out whole. If, however, he found
he could not and do justice to his
charges, he should give it up. Such a
proviso was included in the contract.
In response to a question as to whether
he would live at the poor farm, Mr..
Showalter said he should, and would
move out there shortly. He estimated
the help necessary to run both institu-
tions at ten. He would continue Mr..
Petit and his family. which would fur
nish all the assistance required at the
start.
This leaves a much mooted subject
well disposed of for the present. The
~unfortunates are in good hands. But on
the question of whether the contract
price is sufficient for the care of these
county charges, there are numerous
opinions. Time will show which are

UP to within a short time Postmaster
Burr was living in hope of opening the
new year in the rooms engaged for the
postoffice in Col. Clark's new block. The
cold weather has kept work back to an
extent that put this hope quietly at rest.
The workmen are doing their best and
it is now expected that in the course of
two or three weeks at the farthest the
office will be securely established in its
new quarters. When moved Lancaster
will have one Of the best offices in the
state. New boxes of the most improved
pattern have been purchased by
"'Thode" and all the paraphernalia for
a first class Office in every respect.
The boxes viii be arranged in the shape
of an elongated horseshoe which will

tributing mail as well as the public in
receiving it. In the rear will be a money

IT has finally been decided by the
school board that they will not attempt
60 put in a new furnace as proposed
during the present vacation, as it is
doubtful il it could be done in proper
shape in the time allowed. A member
of the board, in conversation with a
HERALD man, said he would rather pay
fifty dollars for stoves to supplement
the present furnaces, if cold weather
should render it necessary, rather than
invest seven or eight hundred dollars
in a furnace and not have it right. This
course will probably have to be pursued
if severe weather comes during the term
as to attempt to heat the building with
the present furnaces is dangerous.
