them was questioning a Sunday-school class
about the man who fell among thieves on the
way from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bringing
the story to q point, he asked:
"Now, why did the priest and Levite pass

An Impostor.

Marshal Patton received from Harry Hol-
land, alb out ten days ago, card asking him
to look out for one harles Foster, an i'm
poster in the book and periodical line. On
Wednesday of last week the gentleman in
question, with gripsack, full of subscrip-
ton books and forms, made his entree, and
commenced active business in soliciting sub
scribers for various papers, magazines, &C.,
but had only got as far as John Bemel, who
subscribed for the Clipper and Home Farm,
and paid in advance for the same, when the
Marshal dropped onto the gentleman and
"and took him in." On his way to Jail, he
admitted himself to be an impostor, and on
his trial before Esquire Dinger, on Friday
last, plead guilty to petit larceny and was
sentenced to thirty days in the county jail.
We understand that he had been travelling
through the country for a week before his
advent here, and if parties who may have
subscribed for periodicals and paid Mr.. Fos-
ter in advance, do not receive their papers,
they will please excuse that gentleman, as he
is now boarding at the county's expense, and
will not be able to forward subscriptions to
headquarters for the next calendar month.

A Fatal Accident.

In what Is locally known as Dixon,s Wood
Chopping, about four miles south of Iropton,
and near Tip-Top, last Monday, between
twelve and one O'Clock, "a distressing and fatal
accident plunged two families into sudden
mourning. In the chopping were working
four young men from Ironton: Hermann
and Christian Dinger, Earnest Mitchell, and
Henry Rashe. The two former are brothers,
and the two latter step-brothers, while all
are cousins. On the day i'm question, the
Young men, except Hermann Dinger, went
out from the cabin used by all four i'm
common, to their daily labor, leaving
the latter in "the shanty" to prepare the
dinner. Christian Dinger took with him
double-barreled shotgun, loaded in readi-
ness for any game that might be seen. At
noon the three young men returned to the
cabin for dinner-Ernest Mitchell leading,
and entering first, followed by Rashe, Chris
tian Dinger carrying the gun and coming
last. As the latter came through the door,
the hammer of one of the barrels of the gun
caught on the door facing, and fell upon the
cap, exploding the charge. The gun was
loaded with turkey-shot, and the whole
charge entered Mitchell's back under the
shoulder-blade, penetrated clear through his
body, and emerged on his left breast. The
heart was perforated. and death instantly
resulted; the victim of the accident merely
cried, "Oh!" and sank to the ground. His
comrades ran to raise him up, but found life
extinct. One of them came to town imme-
diatey and notified the relatives of the de-
ceased and the authorities. Coroner Grand
homme had jury summoned and proceeded
to the place of the accident. The jury, COM
posed of the following citizens: IL. NJ. Jones,
c. r. Peck, A. 5. Prince, w. III. Newman,
p. W. Whitworth and W. Il. Gay-after
hearing the evidence, returned the following
verdict: "The jury find that deceased, Err
nest Mitchell, came to his death from an ac-
cidental discharge of shotgun in the hands
of Christian Dinger."
Coroner Grandhomme says that at least
eighteen turkey-shot perforated the body
within circle whose diameter was less than
three inches. The remains were brought to
the late home of the deceased, and were in
TERED in the Cemetery near Pilot Knob,
on Tuesday afternoon.
The deceased was about eighteen years
old. His father, j. Mitchell, was killed by a
falling rock, on Pilot Knob, about twelve
years ago. His mother afterwards married
Henry Rashe, ST., and is now resident of
this place. Christian Dinger is the eldest
son of Judge Franz Dinger, and is about
twenty-five years of age. He, of course,
feels terribly over the misfortune for which
he is blameless. We extend to all, our sym
pathy in their affection, trusting that time,
while it cannot obliterate the memory of the
dreadful occurrence, will abate the poignan-
cy of their sorrows.

a High School in Ironton.

We have certainly needed such an insti-
tuition for long time, and We are informed
that steps are being taken now looking to-
ward the immediate establishment Of one.
Mrs. L. II. Bowling, late Principal Of Doug
las School, Ottumwa, Iowa, is to be the prin-
cipaI, and l.. III. Bowling, NJ. D., late Pro-
fessor of Physiology, Chemistry and Toxo-
cology in II. NJ. College, st. Louis, Teacher
of Sciences. There are very many young
people in this valley who are not now in any
school, SIMPLY because there is none here Of
grade sufficiently high, and this new under
taking cannot he otherwise than received
with great favor.
We understand that the projectors of the
school have found a suitable building, and
that enough scholars have been secured to
insure success.
Since Mrs Bowling is unknown to most of
our citizens, it may be in place to publish a
few words of recommendation from promi-
nent educators with whom she has been as
ISOLATED in teaching:

Knights and Ladies Of Honor.

DR.. Z. 81. Bowling, of st. Louis, Deputy
Supreme Protector, Knights and Ladies of
Honor, is in town, marshaiing forces for the
institution OF q new lodge.
His order is one of the most popular Of all
the secret organizations. 1t was chartered
in 1878 by the Legislature OF Kentucky, and
has now nearly one thousand lodges and
more than 40, 900 members. This wonderful
success has been due to the wise union OF
the social and beneficiary features.
In the order ladies are on a perfect equali-
ty with the gentlemen. They may hold any
office in the gift Of the order, and may carry
insurance on their lives for $1,000, 5000, or
$1,000, at the same rate as gentlemen.
The citizens of Arcadia Valley seem to
manifest considerable interest in the new
movement. We notice the names of many
OF our most prominent citizens on the list of
applicants for membership, and DIR. Bowling
informs us that nearly the required number
twenty -fiye-has been obtained, and that
he hopes to institute the lodge the last Of the
week. We heartily recommend the enter
prise, land trust that the management will fall
in the hands of some of our best citizens, for
if it does it cannot fail to be great power for
good.
DR.. Bowling is stopping nj the residence
of III. L. kesling, and those wishing TO be
among the charter members are urged to call
at once and enl oil their names, for the list
will probably close on Wednesday night.
Charter members are received at very low
rates-mtlch lower than will be charged aft
er the lodge has been instituted. Better

The Thanksgiving Masque Ball.

Last Thursday evening we threw dull care
to the winds, and hied to Graniteville for a
night of enjoyment and pleasure; and we
were not disappointed. Arriving at the
QUARRY" we first found accommodation
for the good steeds that had taken us so
swiftly over the intervening miles, and then
put ourselves in proper shape for the Bal
Mosque. That Is to say, we donned our
Mosques and costumes, so that no one, not
even our nearest friend--to mention no dear
err title-should know us. Thus fully equip
ped to conquer incOgnito, we entered the
ballroom. The scene that opened before us
was at once gay, grotesque and bewildering
in its humblety- cum tumble of all phases of
enlightened, civilized, barbarous and savage
life. The red Indian consorted with the
yellow Malay, the ''color line' was disinte-
grated, and the untutored savage paid defer
ence to civilized femininity. We attempt no
description, but in lieu of it, will give you
