There is absolutely nothing to see or do at
this place, except gaze at the river, which is
always beautiful. The ground is rocky.
There are no trees; cultivation is scant and
wretched. Some of the houses are built di-
rectly on the rocky shores of the river, and
should anything fall out of the windows it
would drop into the water. These houses
are wooden, but their stone foundations go
back to the time of Nero. Back to the posada.
Dinner is ready, and consists of rich porridge
of a suspicious color, and chicken tougher than
caoutchouc. No bread. They will have some
when the railway trains begin to run. The
timbers of the roof are of poplar, very little
better than rude trunks of trees. The floor
OF the room, also Of poplar, is of boards hewn
with an adj. The iron-work-hinges, bolts,
etc. is rough and ponderous. At night |
went to bed, but not to rest. Fleas, flies, the
braying of an ass in the stable below me, the
grunting of pigs, the swearing OF muleteers,
beggars and tramps, the mewling of the in

Origin or '.Deadwood.v
TCincinnati Enmlirer.l

ICIncInnau Enqulrer.I
Tn origin of Deadwood is not generally
known, yet 1t none the less illustrates the wag-
gerry Of undertakers, as that's the most con
siderate term for the trick. A certain man
lost his wife, and ordered a first-class funeral.
Everything went off in the best of style until
the coffin was lowered into the grave, when,
owing to the smallness of the hole or awk
wardness of the attendants, a piece of tho
coffin was Clipped of. A friend picked it up
and handed 1t to the afflicted husband as a
relic of his wife. Months having elapsed be.
fore the bill was presented, for it was first
class IL the funeral was not. Not paid, the
undertaken sued. The defendant produced
the piece OF the coffin, exclaiming: 'Tve got
the dead wood on you. It's not rosowood as
you have charged me, but pine.n Hence tho
word from which the celebrated city in the
Black Hills Is named.

The History OF OUR CoUNTY.-The firm
engaged in the publication of the history of
our county have been deyoting much time
and patient research to obtain the necessary
data and to accomplish this writers have WIS.,
tied every portion of the county, interview
ed people, consulted all the old papers and
documents obtainable, in fact have carefully
investigated every available source ofinfor-
nation, in order TO enhance the value OF
the work and make il thorough and com
plete history of our county up to the present
time, and we feel assured the volume, when
issued, will be one of the best publications
of the character extant one that will be
valued by every resident of the county. A
valuable portion of the work will be that
devoted TO "old Settlers. their Representa-
tiyes, and Prominent Men of the Present
Time" who have been identified with our
various interests. who will be represented
with portraits supplementary to Geographic
al sketches. In Bedford county such men
as the Russells Cessnas Hartleys, Andrews,
Barclays, Manns, etc. etc, ETC.: and having
these special representations, and those in
this county entitled to the same recognition
viii be called upon, and in justice to their
families and themselves we feel assured will
take the positions to which they are enti-
tied. The volume will also contain views
Of some of our public buildings, fine resi-
dences, farms. ETC.. thus making fine ex
hibit of the enterprise and development of
our county. These illustrations will be
made from sketches by their artist, Mr.. F.
NJ Gilbert, and an examination of some of
his work convinces Us that they will be
creditable both TO the publishers and them
selves, as they are fine productions and we
trust those TO whom an invitation will be
extended will consider the matter favora-
bly,, for there is deep and growing interest
in the forthcoming history, which will be
work that will endure for time indefinite.
