Whose Appropriate Death Makes Poor
Family Wealthy.

Family Wealthy.
PITTsBURG Feb. 20.-The members of a
family named Gillespie, who reside on Glib
bon street, Sixth ward have received news

to America from Ireland in 1853 Not being
very successful in the East he went to the
far West, and settled down at Stockton
CAL. where he stocked sheep ranch and en-
gagged in the sheep-breeding business until
the time of his death. Years after, when the
city of Stockton became thickly populated,
Mr.. McKee's wealth increased year by year,
and from independence he merged into affiu-
ence, and when he died was reputed to be
worth about $500, 600. He remained bach
elor all his life Three years ago Charles
Gillespie, son of Mrs. Gillespie, paid visit
to his uncle in the West His uncle took
liking to him, and tried to prevail upon him
to make a home with him, but the young
man declined the invitation, and returned to
Pittsburg. When the uncle died he left
$4,000 in cash between Charles and his sister
Emma, who is younger He also willed
them the ranch and other property, including
10000 head of sheep, said to be worth $780,
800 and over. Charles Gillespie is an humble
teamster. William, his brother, is also a
teamster.

SIN the Arcadian land, on the shores of
| the Basin of Menas, distant, secluded still
the little village lay in the fruitful valley. .,
And again one can picture to himself poor
| Evangaline sitting beside the wild waves
as they thunder on the shores, beseacbine
her lover to come back, and because of his
absence refusing to be comforted. An
American who has lived past twenty and
has not had his Evangelit1e is unworthy of
| his country. e
In passing through this beautiful valley
for about sixty miles, all the way. as
far as the eye can reach, we have a
magnificent view of mountain, valley, lake
and river. The agricultural part is easily
and quickly told. Here they raise no corn,
| the season being too short. No wheat the
fogs are too frequent and dense. The
main crop is potatoes and hay, supplement-
eddy large orchards of apple trees. Since
arriving here | have visited several hay
fields and talked freely with the farmers
They cut their grass with the old fashion
ed scythe and rake it with the hand rake
and haul it to the barn with oxen hitched
to carts, with the yoke fastened to the
horns by leather strap no bows around
the AeclS such as we use fitting down on
the shoulders, but the poor Drtlte pulls Nv
his head. The grass is of an Indifferent
Kind such as grows along our swamps and
spring brooks very light in weight, and
| should judge, with very little saccharine
matter in it.
The farmers and their hands are intelli-
gent people, very polite, and are fond of
hearing all one wishes to say about our
country.
This place was originally settled by the
Arcadian French. They built a strong
fort here which was finally taken by the
British about 1870 years ago, and the poor
French peasantry after having built hun
dreds of miles of dykes which are standing
at this day, the sole barrier against the
high tide, and protection to the tens of
thousands OF acres Of arabic land, were
driven out and the English took quiet po-
session as if they had been set apart as the
peculiar people Of God and inheritors by
divine appointment Of other mems hard
earnings. And yet all such vandalisms
are done in the name of the most gracious
and christian ruler, and all repair to church
and give thanks to God for his goodness
and mercy endureth forever
Our health is improving. 1t is cold
here. We are wearing winter clothing.
On Monday we expect to cross the Bay of
Funday to st. John.
One TO properly appreciate his own coun-
try, and especially we Of the great Valley.
ought to go abroad. Our people as COM
pared with others, our laws rs compared
with foreign laws, and above and beyond
all else, the fertile, glorious Valley of Viz
ginia, stands pre-eminent; the vine clad

sweetness surrounding it that no
palace OF Parliament house can give.

could not run at large. Having

: Tardiness has become so prevalent
in our school that having talked with
the pupils. about the matter several
times with unsatisfactory results it
becomes necessary to appeal to you
for the remedy. A number of
scholars have made it q habit to he
from 5 to 10 minutes tardy; often
two or three times a week. Now is
this unavoidable. If they can be at
school at 9:5 or 9:l0 why not at 9
O'Clock! l know you will agree with
me that punctuality is what bust
ness man needs. Schools are to
teach children what they can practice
when they become men and women :.
They can practice punctuality every
day for their own good and the un-
speakable satisfaction Of others. 1t

Court here, l shall give it as my
opinion that towns may vote to re-
strain cattle or to aHoW them to run
at large. In the former case, dam
ages can be recovered without proof
of lawful fence around the damaged
property. If properly taken, the
vote of the town Withstand until re-
scinded.'' ssssss... sss:5s...,.- &, =. :.
E. F. Lane, Attorney Generals as:
sistant, says: LAS Bread the law, the
towns in Otter Tail county are en-.
titled to vote and pass by laws allow.
ing cattle to run atlarge from April
to October, and arch by laws, if
adopted, will stand Until modified Or
repealed in like nlahner as it was
adopted. As. the In reads. when
such bylaw has bseIrsduly passed,
no damage shall be facoYered by the
owner of any lands for damage COM
mitted thereon by any such beasts
during the day timeSnnti it shall be
proved that said landssare enclosed
by a lawful fence. The law defines
what is a lawful fence and*what ami
mails are included insthe term cattle.
I think the law mead it says,
and any Justice whoshas the question
before him, arising in Otter Tail
County, and where "a vote has been
had to allow cattle t0run, should hold
that a legal fence is. necessary to be
shown in an action fordamages.'
According to the above, owing that
the town of Compton, has never voted
to restrain cattle from running at
large, but has, on tHoz different oc.
casions at the annual selection, voted
by majority in favor Of allowing
cattle to run at large,sthat the law is,
until it is rescinded, that cattle are
allowed to run at large In that tewn.
I think that the matter is safer in
the hands Of the voters than in the
legislators. l am satisfied that if
once town vote in favor of restrain.
ing cattle, that will continue the law.
But if it is decided byour legislators,
as they frequently do, they may make
a law this session and repeal that law
the next, and what would be the
result to those who are in favor of no
fences, and have none. I should like.
whatever is the vote, to see the fen
ces maintained along the public high
ways, and I am resolved to maintain
mine, whatever others may do.

PARKERs PRAIRIE.

Last Friday quite an excitement
was produced by the announcement
that James Thomas, a young married
man and son of Elder Thomas, who
came with his family from Illinois
last fall and settled in this town, was
buried alive by the caving in of his
well. DR.. Tyler with a number of
others hastened to the scene of the
disaster. On their arrival they
found that Mr.. Thomas had gone
down in his well 26 feet deep to fix or
put in a curb at the bottom. VIM.
Ellis was assisting him. The we'll
not being curbed above, soon (or
at 9 a. m. gave way above, COM
pletely enveloping Mr.. Thomas to
the depth of several feet. 1t was
some time before the men could be-
gin to remove the dirt as the well
had to becurbed 15or16 feet. For per-
haps an hour or two after the caving
in of the well Thomas voic could
be heard as if talking, and then all
became quiet, save the busy workers,
and it was then supposed that he
was dead, until between 5 and 6
o'clock p. m AMI after 3 or 4 feet of
dirt had been removed the workmen
were startled by one agonizing:
shrek from the supposed dead man.
Afew minutes more and the dirt was,
removed to his head, and as soon as
bis arms were relieved he used them
with all his strength to scratch away
the dirt that had confined him in
living tomb for 9 hours. He was
taken to the surface at 6 O'Clock
where he tainted away but was
speedily revived by DR.. Tylor. and
the same evening he walked to his
fathers, distance OF one or two
miles. At last accounts he was in
his usual health. ] got the shove
