Grand Surprise.
HoovER's CORNER
LIBERTY TIP, Henry Co. 0.

LIBERTY TP., Henry Co. O.
Ed. NORTHWESTERN the afternoon
Of June the Sth, most enjoyable time
was caused by a birthday surprise par
ty at the residence of Fred. Steward,
Esq, it being his thirty eighth birth
day. Mrs. Steward had allowed to
give the Squire little surprise about
4 o'clock p. M, and the friends and
nelghbors began to assemble, nearly all
bringing well filled baskets. Mr.. S.
has built a large bank barn this spring
40 by 80 feet, and hither did they all
repair where large table was hastily
erected by H. Hoover, A. B. Slee, NJ.
Steward and others. The ladies then
went to work with will and in short
time the table was completely loaded
with cakes, pies, roast chicken and 9TH
er edibles. After all was in readiness
Mr.. Steward who was plowing corn
a half mile from the house, was sum
moned in by the ringing of the supper
bell.
Fred. acknowledged he was beat
and gave up without much resistance
After changing his apparel he appeared
on the scene with large palm leaf fan
to keep him cool. Rev. Geo. Miller
then officiated, and formed them in
line marched them around the table
Mr.. ard Mrs. Steward were seated al
the head and the rest in regular order
until all the table-room was occupied.
Thanks was returned and all fell tc
work to satisfy the inner man. The
first table accommodated 81 persons
the second SO, making a total Of lOl
persons that were fed, and judging by
the fragments it was something like
the parable of the loaves and fishes
Next in order was the giving of pres.
ents, nearly all of which were very
useful articles. The string band of H
Day and Llnthicum Bros. made merry
music for the occasion with credit tc
themselves and satisfaction to all pres
ent. The older ones retired while
many of the young ones renamed tc
trip the light fantastic toe, all feeling
that it had been good for them TO be
there and wishing Mr.. S. and wife
might live to enjoy many more happy
birthdays.

been at home, or anywhere that every
body felt as bad as he did. At the
next station he got a dispatch. and
his hand shook like a leaf, and lac dare
no. look at il out doors, but he went
in the smoker and sat down in front
OF the drummers, and opened the dis
patch, glanced at it and put his head
on his hand and leaned his elbow
on the window. The boys looked
at him and one said, not
thinking that anything had oc-
Cured more than the usual order TO
hold the train for another to pass,
"Hello. the old man has got his dis
charge. o, have been expecting it
since he collected that twenty cents
from the tramp last week and knocked
it down." Then they laughed, and
one of the boys touched the conductor
on the shoulder and said, Never
mind, old boy, us fellows will see you
through. We will get sample case
for you to carry" The conductor
reached the dispatch over to the travel
ing man, and said "read 1t, and the
friend read, "your baby is dead, come
back on No.. Give your train to
your head brakeman 1t was signed
by the division superintendent. The
four pair of eyes that read the dispatch
had tears in them, aud four throats
choked up so it was a minute before
anybody could speak. and then one of
the boys went and sat down by the
conductor, who was crying like a
child, and said, "Old friend, all of US
have babies at home, and not one of
us would have joked you had we
known of your sorrow Forgive us,
old pard." The conductor said it was
all right, and he knew they pitied
him, but it had almost broken his
heart to have them talk so, and he
went to the baggage car to prepare to
leave the train at the next station. AS
he left the train four large hearted
drummers, who looked as though
they, too, had been bereaved, shook
hands tenderly with the conductor,
and bid him good bye, and then went
in the car and agreed that they
couldn't be too careful about their
levity, and their thoughts were all the
afternoon with the stricken conductor
and his dead baby. When the brake
man went through the train with his
pale face and took tickets the passen.
gers knew something had happened,
and to every question he said, "The
conductors baby is dead and he has
gone back" and then every passenger
looked as though it was a funeral
train, and a hundred hearts felt sorry
for their old friend, and none more so
than the hearts of the drummers. At
the funeral there was bank of flow
ers that almost covered the little cof-
fin, which come by express from two
hundred miles away, and the conduc-
tor will always believe the flowers
came from the drummers, and he is
right.

Cherry Pectoral.

No other complaints are so insdious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so tritied with by the majority of suffer-
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from triaing or unconscious ex-
posure, is often but the beginning of fatal
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has
well proven its efficacy in forty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken i'll all cases without delay.

Instantaneous Photography.

Last week an itncrant photographer
OF this city brought up in small town
In New Jersey, and at once proceeded
to business. At the first residence he
asked the lady Of the house il he could
take view Of her house. "Don want
any views. You couldn't take view
with that old machine, anyhow. Sup
pose ! was out in the front yard, mo-
body would know me in the picture.
The man OF the camera explained how
perfect his machine was for inStantane-
Gus views, but the woman refused to
listen 10 him. He then went to the neat
house, and there got an order fora yicW.
When he began to arrange his instrrl-
ment the woman No. came over, her
curiosity getting the better of her, aud
the lady whose house was to be taken
invited her 10 stand in the front yard to
help form group. Woman No, was
SO afraid that her new silk dress
wouldn't show to good advantage that
she seated herself on the step OF a lad
der that stood alongside Of fence
just before everything was ready she
concluded that the flounces would show
better il she stood up, and accordingly
rose up, Then the photographer lifted
the cloth from the muzzle Of the cam
era, and turned his back to the scene
just rs the woman fell from the top of
the ladder on TO the fence and caught
her foot between the pickets. She
hung there all through the exposure Of
the plate, and the photographer, I'M
needing her cries for help, proceeded 10
develop the negative. He found
splendid picture Of a woman hanging
head down from picket fence. The
woman by this time had got loose from
the fence, and asked to have look at
the plate, when she almost tainted
away, That night her husband called
on the photographer, and paid him $50
cash for the picture. Yet why man
would want picture of his wife hang
ing from a fence is more than anybody
can tell. -Phiiadeiphia Hem

How a Woman Uses a Hammer.

The Boston Hera'd is responsible for
the following description of the way a
woman yields a hammers.
She wants to hang picture on the
wall She gets a nail, hammer, and
tall chair to stand upon, and calmly
surveys the situation.
Then she measures distance and
scratches a spot, always an inch too
high or too low, and paepares for ac-
ton.
She takes the nail in the left hand and
the hammer in the right, and gently
taps, like the drum accompaniment ola
musical box.
Then she lays herself ont for bic
blow, raises her arm and strikes, and
yells like a captured Comanche maiden
on the bodndless prairie
She goes about the rest of the morn
ing with her thumb done up in bread
poultice. Yet she never learns from ex-
perience.
The next time she wants to drive a
nail in anything she will hit it exactly
in the same place.

1t lie Of the highest importance that plans

ment Of similar committees TO prepare
plans for improving the rest of the system,
and when these plans are made to see that
they are carried out.
This can only be affected by the united,
harmonious action of every section, and for
this purpose a meeting OF the chairmen of
all the committees is proposed to be held
at--on the -, where well concerted
consolidation may be completed and plans
matured Tor further progress.
Such gathering, although it will bt
comparatively small will do much towards
crystalizng the desire and belief in river

MISSISSIPPI RIVER IMPROVEMENT
COMMITTEE OF NEW ORLEANS.

At meeting of the Mississippi river i'm
provement committee Of New Orleans, held
several days ago, Hon. A. G. Brce presid-
ing, the following report of special com
mittee on correspondence was received, APP
proved and ordered to be communicated to
the several river improvement committees
10 the valley states!
To the Chairman of the Permanent COM
mittees for the improvement of the Mis-
sissippi river:
The call of the Mississippi river improve
ment committee of the Merchants ex-
change of St. Louis for the appointment of
permanent committees on Mississippi river
Involvement having been responded to by
many OF the cities and towns in every
quarter of the valley,it is important that the
Improvement be consolidated and extended
until every city, town and village in the
Mississippi valley be thoroughly organized
and in working harmony to secure the great
end in view.
While there is a general understanding
that the plans Of the Mississippi
river commission are to be supported,
there is no defined line of action to secure
even this beyond that the river commission
has but partial jurisdiction, and its plans
do not include even the Missouri or Ohio {;
now while river improvement is work Of
time and the main stream is naturally the
first and most important these committees

day from Springfield, This has probably
been as hard a term of service as Mr.. Line
gar ever went through, and the part Mr.. l..
took and what he accomplished has been
very satisfactory and of great importance to
his constituents. The important character
istic of nearly all the bills he introduced in
the legislature, WAS that they aimed to re-
leve the laborjng classes the people, de-
filming, enlarging and enforcing their inter.
ests as against those of corporations; and
he has been able 10 get these measures
through mainly by reason of his powerful
influence among his fellow Legislators,
gained by his superior ability, and ready
and timely use OF il. Hence we say Mr..
Linegar has made valuable member for
his constituents in the Thiry-third general

but this expectation is again disappointed
by the heavy rise in the Arkansas river,
which will prevent the completion Of the
iron bridge over that stream. Col. Para
more was over the road few days ago and
says the wurkmen have already reached a
stage considerably above The surface Of the
water, but the drift is very heavy, and
should any Of The great trees which are
coming down the river strike full against
the false works, which are in use for the
construction Of the draw-span, it is not i'm
probable that the works would be carried
away 10y the fool. Fearing this, the work
men deemed it unsafe to raise any more Of
the iron pieces to the platform Of the false
works, AS, If one Of these pieces were Il

might be lost while a duplicate is being
manufactured. The engineers are certain
that three weeks work will finish the
bridge, and, unless the food proves unpre
cedeutedly great, there Is good reason tC
believe that trains will be running by the
middle Of July. Col. PAramore says tha
