His disease was pneumonia fever, from which
he suffered intensely for two weeks, Henry
was known throughout Lafayette county as an
active. good hearted young man, and his I'm.
timely death will be deeply regretted by many
friends.
We know that an impalpable foot-step has
fallen on the Threshold, that a shadowy hand
has knocked at the door of the once happy
home. The dread ~visltant who will not be de-
MED or turned away has entered, and the
mourner. Sorrow, who treads sadly after him has
stayed behind. just as his spirit took its oiuht
q peaceful smile Ger spread his face, and his
last moment was apparently quiet.
To the bereaved family We tender our wsrmest
sympathies and feelings of coincidence
Though death needed not loving entresties and
made . vacant chair in the family circle and q
deep wound In their hearts, there IL a solsce in
the thought that In . better world all broken tia.
Will be reunited, where NO areVell will bs
spoken. and no tears dim the light of loving
eyes. And where no death ever comes.

AN INQUIRY ANSWERED.

EDITOR INTELLIGRNCER:-I see you state
that no one is permitted to sell liquors IN
quantities less than q gallon without a DRAM
shop license. Is that the laws had sup
posed a druggist might sell a pint or a quart
of liquor for medicinal purposes without a
dramshop license. f.. g..
Decidedly not. A druggist can only sell
liquors by prescription Of 3 physician, under
very strict regulations of law. he cannot
lawfully sell a pint or quart of whisky in the
ordinary way to a customer, unless he first
takes out q damshop license, which no drug
gfst in Lafayette county has done. Our state
ment was correct-ns one cen retail liquor
without procuring 9 dramshsp license.

A LudicrOus Blunder.

Readers of newspapers are sometimes
amused at ludicrous blunder,
which the proof-reader has failed to
correct. But few, however, have ever
laughed as heartily over an accidental
muddling as did the Parisians one morn
ing during the reign of Louis Philippe.
The morning after the day on which
a ministerial crisis had occurred, and
M. Theirs had been sent for, there APP
peared in the Constitutional the follow
ing startling paragraph:
Ellis Majesty the King, received NJ.
Theirs yesterday, at the Tuileries, and
charged him with the formation of a
new Cabinet. The distinguished states
man fastened to reply to the King. j
have only one regret, which is that 1
can not wiring your neck like tur-
keys"
A few lines lower down there was am
other paragraph to the following effect:
1.-The efforts of justice are promptly
crowned with success. The murderer
of the Rue du Pot-de-fer has been ar
rested. Led at once before the Judge
of Instruction, the wretch had the har-
dihood to address that magistrate in
terms of coarse insult, winding up with
the following words:
"'God and man are my witnesses that
l have never had any other ambition
than to serve your august person and my
country Loyalty to the best of my abil-
ity.'"
The printer had interchanged the adj
dresses. But the joke was that all Paris
knew that there was little love lost be-
tween the King and Theirs.
