Among the old friends from the country
whom we noticed on the streets to-day
were S. N. Vaughn, of Bloomfield town

moving machine, some years ago..
When Will. Longbon found the itch in
his school, in Washington township, he
began to "precipitate' the afflicted parties
out of the school. This placed the pa
rents in bad 'humor," and they imme-
diately began to scratch" In fact, there
was sulphur" in the bad blood that was
stirred up, and they were about to "blis-
ter" Will. But he contended that while
there's life there's SOAP" and he came out
of the "scrape" without a "scab." Ughl

Quoted by Prof J. W. Hank. The re-
mains were inferred in the old Cemetery,
in Jamestown. We do not remember
ever to have seen a more distressing
sight than at this funeral. AS the coffin
was carried from the hearse to the grave,
it was followed by the bereaved husband
bearing one of the children in his arms.
The sobs and cries of the children were
pitiful in the extreme.

her mother Mrs. Benton, left to-day for
Jacksonville, Florida. Mr.. Chapman &C

w. T. Price went to Oak Hill this morn
ing on insurance business. One of our
merchants tells of a sad case of human
wretchedness which made itself manifest
in his store to-day. A great, tall, giant
of a fellow came in, and began to talk
about his needy circumstances. He sis
not able to work-he had taken a pint of
salts, and box or two of pills, and his
inner man was still unmoved. He had
dyspepsia, constipation, and cancer of the
stomach-in fact, there is hardly an all
ment known that he didnt have. He
was entirely, hopelessly helpless. Just
at this point in his distressing story a
man came in who has been practically
supporting him for several days A dis
cussion arose, when the crippled, sick,
helpless giant concluded that he was
about the best man on the dump, and be-
gan hauling his coat to fight. He is not
able to work, oh no! But he is able to
fight! 1t is upon such cattle as this that
charity is often wasted. JOS Andres,
Sen, of Liberty township, was in town
to-day, looking hearty and happy.
