Che Banner entirely misappre-
hends the CITIZEN in reference to
Col. De- b. Cooper. We never i'm
agined, thought nor charged that he
had been guilty of any crime to be
arrested for, and simply stated that
a st. Louis paper said he was in that
city and was apprehensive that he
might be subjected to the outra-
geous procedure that was practiced
on JAS. G. Fleming TO secure his at
tendance as a witness. The writer
has profound admiration for Col.
Cooper, personally and otherwise,
never doubted his integrity nor in
sinnated completely in the Polk
matter. He is a personal friend
and chivalric gentleman and we
never found fault ~ith him except
in his over-zeal in politics some
times. Will the Banner see to it
that this disclaimer reaches the
same eyes that saw its structures of
last Saturday?

The charge that Gen. Grant ode
termined to prevent the Inaugural
tion of the elected democratic presi-
dent in 1876 by force if necessary
is denied by the Commercial Gazette,
which substitutes that he simply
determined to use force if necessary
to seat whoever the commission de
clared elected" One is as indie
feasible as the other. Gen. Grant
term expired with the incoming of
mis- successor and a president is not
charged with the installation of his
successor. If so, some president
may come who will utilize such
power to perpetuatc his own reign,
and such an act could be defended
as justly as this imputed intent of

IRON tue AuucNlllo 10 VI MeululnsI
A few days ago we went into the store of
an elderly gentleman and saw handsome
pistol in his desk. Expressing astonishment
at this belligerent sign, he opened drawer
and exposed to view long two. edged knife
with wooden handle. II was sharp. pointed,
about 10 inches long, and would make a man
shudder to look ut it. He told us it was one
left from number sold to the first soldiers
of the late war. This brought to our mind
the days of 1861, when the knife was es-
teemed the best weapon to make an end of
the Yankees. The cannon, sword, gun and
bayonet were not enough for the intense en-
thusasm Of the patriots of that time. They
meant to go into close quarters and despatch
the enemy with the bloody knife Il would
not snap, and its work was quick and sure.
So the blacksmith shops of the country were
kept busy in turning out the fatal and muir
derous weapons. It was said that the Yam
KEGS would stand fire at "long range" but
when the "cold steel" was put to them they
would turn and flee. One idea suggested
another, and we call to memory the fances
that controlled our youthful mind. Reach
ing Richmond on the Sth of June, 1861, our
first idea was to get knife that would deci-
mate the invaders Of our sacred soil In
Rockets we found one that answered our
purpose, and planked down So
for beauty weighing about three
pounds (our own weight was about %
pouuds) sharpened on both edges, with
handsome leather case and belt polished like
q mirror, and u inches long, and of pure
metal. Swapping it on, we landed at Manas.

met, "cut his heart out, and show it to him
before he died. as Terry Shannon expressed
it. We we're ordered to Centrevile, and on
the short march the luscious cherries on the
roadside tempted US, and we ate them and
drank so much limestone water that the
knife was too much for us when we halted
We gave it to the butcher, and instead of
Strengthening Yankees it played it's part in

From Tho Clinton. Mich. Naval

At his residence IL Clinton, Mich, Tuesday even
ing, March 9th, 1883, Mr.. John S. Clark aged GO
years.
One week ago we stated that John $. Clark was Sc
riously III. To-day it becomes our sad duty to an
nouuce his death. Only one short week from the
time he was stricken down the fell destroyer had
done its work.
John S. CLARK was born in Dummerston, Vermont,
in 1879 aud was consequently "a years Of age at his
death. He came to Clinton in lS43. In lS47 he mar
ried Miss Louise Clark, who, with two sons and
daughter, survive him
These few words contain epitome of the leading
events which form the landmarks of human life.
But the every day life which, with its habitua cares
aud duties, goes to make up the sum total Of this
earthly career is really what forms the character,
aud it is from the daily Intercourse and conversation
Of q man that we must form true estimate of his
worth. Judging from this standard, Mr.. Clark was
man Of sterling value to the community in which his
lot was cast During the forty odd years he has lived
in Clinton, he has proved himself philosophical,
noble-hearted man, whose life has been closely iden-
uhed with the history Of the town. Whatever pub
lie enterprise has been projected has received his
generous cooperation Whatever benevolent scheme
has been brought forward has been encouraged by
his word and act. Many family In Clinton could
testify to his generosity in their time Of need Many
person in this community could testify TO act
of kindness or sef-forgetfulness for the good of
others. In his own family he kind and affec-
tionate husband and father, devoted 10 the noble
purpose Of making his loved ones happy ever ready
to sacrifice his for their comfort and In
cry way thoughtful Of their welfare. The no.
beness of disposition characterized his intercourse
with his neigh6ors, and indeed, with all with whom
he came in contact for every was his neighbor
in the best sense Of that word
Mr.. CLARK has for many years been Identified with
tie interests Of st. Johns Episcopal church Of this
place, being member Of tue yestry at the time Of
his death. Although he has never formally united
with the church, yet have every reason to believe
his religious convictions have been thoroughly awak-
ened especially Of late and the writer Of this notice
armly believes him to have been true Christian at
heart.
In the death of John S. Clark, the community has
lost good Citizen the church faithful servant his
associates and neighbors warm hearted friend, and
his family an ahectionate and indugent head. In
departing this brief lie no has left behind him far
nober Inheritance than riches renoWn the beneh-
cent influence of a wel.spent life.

[St. Johnsbury Correspondent Of Boston Journal

Judge Buckley resided in Berlin, Just over
the river from Montpelier. One member of
the Judges family was a son named Frank,
half-witted fellow and queer in many ways.
In the summer of 1887 some friends from New
York visited the Judge, and, after stopping
few days, started one Saturday morning on
their way home, intending to spend Sunday
with friends few miles down the river Frank
heard the plans talked over, and said
You better not start there is going to be
big storm that will carry all the bridges of,
and you will have to come back"
The sky being cloudless the gentlemen
laughed at Frank and drove of. In the after
noon the storm began, and all that Frank pre-
dicted came true One of the gentlemen's
curiosity was so excited that he returned after
the storm to learn from Frank, if possible,
how he knew there was to be such storm.
After much coaxing, Frank said if he would
come out with him, he would tell.
Going out few rods from the house, so a
view could be had, Frank, in his drawing

a Freak of, bc western Floods.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer, March 81
One of the strangest freaks of the flood is
reported from the Whitewater River, few
miles above Lawrenceburg, where a Mr.. Hunt
lost 40 acres of land, and his neghbor, Fred
Newhouse, had Il rocky and barren mill site
converted into 10 acres of as rich land as the
fertile valley affords. The land along the
Whitewater is as rich as any in the West an
acre of it is an independence for a gardener,
and ten acres is little less than bonanza.
During the flood the Whitewater bottoms were
overlooked for miles along the stream, and
the extraordinary height of the water created
currents that had never been known before.
Since the subsistence of the flood it has been
found that 40 acres of Farmer Hunts richest
soil has been carried away, leaving portion
of his farm practically worthless until restor-
ed by system of tillage and fertilizing. Mr..
Newhouse, who recently moved to the White
water bottoms from Aurora, owned ten acres
of rocky and barren land, unfit for farming
purposes, a portion of it being large mill
pond. This pond is now filled to the level of
the breast of the dam with the richest soil of
the valley, and the remaining acres of unpro-
ductve rocks are covered several feet deep
with the same rich deposit. Instead of being
a loser by the food, he is ahead the value of
ten acres of Whitewater valley land, which,
when there is any of it in the market COM
mands from $500 to 500 per acre
