At meeting Of the Council of the
Town Of Guyandotte, for the purpose
of considering an offer made by S.
a.
w. Scott on behalf of the Relief
Committee of the city Of Cincinnati,
of the sum of FIVE hundred dollars as
a donation, the following resolutions
we're adopted;
Whereas, owing to the late flood
causing devastation and restitution
to a great portion Of the Oaio valley,
and our own town suffering, but not
to the extent anticipated; and where
as. by the blessings Of Divine Prsvi-
depce we have thus far been able to
care for our own poor and needy. by
not suffering to the extent Of other
places; therefore be it
Resdged, That it is with feelings oG
profound gratitude to the Relief Com
mitteso Of Cincinnati, and to Messrs.
2. H. Lawson & Co., for their eff
forts. and for their cheerful and lib
eral donation; vet as we believe, as
the food has receded, and that ether
points are, perhaps, more distressed
than our own, we respectfully decline
the donation, and request Mir. 5. W.
Scott to return the draft with our
thanks and gratitude to the donors.

DIAMoxDs.@The most valuable dia-
mouds are those which are entirely col
orless. Those with a blue tinge.
though still mor rare. are not SO high
" valued, a. the actual beauty IF the
clear ones outweighs the rarity Of tie
blue variety. One of the finest Oe the
blue variety is. we believe, in the collec
ton Of Mr.. Beresford- Hope. Ola
monds Of Il red tinge take still a good
place /; green diamonds are tolerabiy
numerous. and rank lower; yellow
oues are very common. and the least es
te"mel. The estimation If the value
of q diamond is made according to a reg
ular system Of appraisement. 1t will
surprise many who are not %conversant
with the subject to learn what q large
proportion of a diamond is often ground
away to dust in cutting it SO az to make
the most Of its brilliancy.
The greatest diamond in the French
Treasury. tho Regent, weighed. we are
told, four hundred and ten carats he
fore cutting, and one hundred and thir-
ty-six and u quarter carats after cut
ting, which seems AN immense loss in
sizo ; but We presume it really i6creas-
ed the marketable value Of the gem.
OF course, the diamond dust taken off
in cutting is not allowed to be lost. but
it is useful chiefly for practical purpo
ses, ia forming in its turn the means Of
grinding down the faces of other dia-
monds ; for this superb stone will
yield to no tool but u from its own
substance.

It was the Oldsnhscriber.
His eyes we're old and dim.
But "he waa't'tskin' no paper
That Wa pokin' chat at him."
For he picked his paper mp one day.
And it went to his heart like Il rocket,
.Whom the ssds love. die young" it said.
..But they WAose hearts are dry, he read.
"As summers dust, burn to the socket
Then he looked through the paper with
wrath aud lonbt,
And his heart with anger burned,
For he found at had been left out
And he found an 0 that was turned"
AID he lifted his voice with q mighty
shout,
As the sheet with his feet he spurned.
He stopped his paper; he would not read
Such q laundering villainous sheet
OF the news it contained be had no need,
He could hearthc news on the street.
Only ten days lster he sold his corn !:
But be punched his head full of dents.
When be karned, after selling tor twelve

It was quoted at torty.two cents.
And his farm vac sold for taxes, because
He didn't kuoE when they were due,
And he bet on . race three days after date
And he bet on the wrong horse, toe.
He was fined niue dollars and seventy
cents
For going out shooting on Sunday.
For he didn't know with no paper to read
Whether twas Sunday or Monday.
He came to town to the Fourth Of July,
But it had been overM week.
And he felt eu mad he wanted to cry,
For he did't know bow to speak.
He thought that Grant was President yet,
And he had never heard of Hayes ;
1t was worry. and bluDder, and trouble,
and fret,
All of his weary days
So he came to town one umMcr morn,
Aud 'eigncd' for his paper again,
And went rack home to his wheat and
corn,

John II. Whitaker departed this life the 10th day
of April, A. ID. 1882 between the hours of 10 and II
o'clock, p. IN.
His complaint had been of long standing. First,
he had pneumonia; then it turned to consumption
of the bowels. He endured his affection with great
patience, and gave evidence that he was prepared
to meet God in peace, and said he willing to co.
when He saw fit to take him.
He leaves a wife, five and one daughter to
mourn his loss; and while it is their loss, we trust
ii is his eternal gain.
John II. Whitaker's native State was Pennsyl.
vana, Huntingdon County. He born October
10th, 1923. He was married 10 Miss Mary McCrum,
the eth day of May, 1913, with whom be lived as
loving husband and providing father until he
died. Father Whitaker one Of our old settlers.
He came to this County April 18th, 1855 and settled
on Brush Greek, where he lived until his death.
His funeral was preached by Rev. T. II. Slower.
There were q goodly number of old settlers in at
tendance. The pallbearers and procession moved
in good order to the Doniphan Cemetery. and there
the services closed by singing hymn and prayer.
The bereaved mother and children return many
thanks to all Of their neighbors, who were very
kind in helping wait on the sick.
