A Mound House society Item.

On Thursday about noon the quiet
little town Of Mound House was thrown
into state of excitement by woman
and her little pistol. 1t seem tina, Mrs.
Coburn, who runs a boarding house
there, heard that some parties had been
speaking in light manner Of her char.
acter, and becoming enraged procured
a pistol and started on the war path.
She called at the house Of Mr.. Mattawa
who is working in the v. & T. yard,
10 make his wife retract some state.
ments she was supposed to have made,
and Mrs. Mattawa being alone at the
time was so frightened by Mrs. Columns
hostile demon STATIONS that she ran over
to the freight house for protection. No
shots were fired, therefore no one was
hurt. The husband OF the frightened
woman came to Dayton Thursday even
ing to get out warrant for Mrs. Co.
burns arrest, but il was denied on the
ground that he was not witness to the
threatened shooting. The majority Of
the people seem to think that Mrs.
{ was in the wrong.

MALCOLM MCLEAN.

Hall of Belle Haven Lodge, No. 1888, K. of Fl.
Alexandria, Va, July 18th, 1854.
Preamble and resolutions are too formal and
stereotyped to express loss like ours.
We therefore simply, but tenderly and tearfnlly,
place record the sudden and unexpected death
If our lamented brother, Malcolm Mclean.
His memory is embalmed in our hearts. No
truer Knight ever wore the spurs. No heart beat
warmer in the cause We love. No hands were
more ready to rear our temple. No feet more
willing to walk or run on errands of service for
the welfare Of our Order.
Always present, always cheerful, always ready
to respond to the distress call, he had smile and
word of cheer for every iovial Knight, sympathy
for every Borrowing heart, and aims for every
needy brother.
Paradoxical as it may seem his absence Greats
painful presence, and our Lodge Room is vocal
with his silence.
But hushed be our grief in the shadow Of the
greater loss and darker sorrows that fall upon the
hearts of his own loved family.
To his stricken companion and little children !;
to his aged father, and only brother, we tender
our sincerest sympathy and heartfelt coincidence,
praying that the Healer and Comforter may sane
tfy this great bereavement to their good and the
Fathers glory.
Thus do we express our grief and thus will we
place on record the magnitude Of our loss and the
knightly worth Of our departed brother

+ For the GAZETTE.


FITz EDWARDS SHIRT.-In common, no
doubt, with all of your modest and squeam-
ish readers, who study the pictures as well
as the reading matter of the GAZETTE, |
have been greatly pleased for some weeks
past that Ftz Edward had at last got his
shirt on; and instead of the barbaric dis
play of "Fitz Edward on Shirts" | might
contemplate, without blushing, a shirt on
Ftz Edward.
"Hang it. Mariu," may all be very well,
coming from man who has been exhibit
ing himself in q state of considerably more
than half nudity ever since the calendar
called for warm weather, but the general
opinion of people in my section who study
ought long since to have made sailors use
of her clothes line, and, converting it into
ropes end, dashed Fitz either into or out
of his neither garment.
I have longed to know what was that ia
nous love philtre which Nessus gave to the
wife of Hercules, that Maria might also
have the benefit of it, and Filz the same
usage to which the mighty man of valour
was subjected.
But, if the truth may be said, and the
devil shamed, these newspaper fellows that
publish such ''art illustrations" ought them
selves to have slight dose of Dejauira's
cayenne pepper. Tt would, perhaps, quick
en- their artistic perceptions, and stimulate
their aesthetic taste mot to say ethical hab
it) somewhat for the general good.
There are many points of just criticism
to be made against the picture as published
by the GAZETTE. In the first place, Fitz
Edward appears to have on no undershrt-
nor, indeed, anything else-the great Dia-
mond garment being as yet suspended be-
tWixt heaven and earth, though great
deal nearer earth. All sensible people who
are not sup" with city notions, nor have
yet experienced the torture of an "open be-
hind" would insist that the poor crank was
trying to put the thing on hind part before.
It is little more than half long enough,
and Fitz Edward would seem to belong, by
natural selection, to the "sbirtless democra
cy" at best.
We used to laugh in my neighborhooG ut
q lovelorn swain who affected more literary
knowledge than he possessed, and who sen
timentaily made reference to Hood S tale
perhaps he would have spelled it tail-of n
shirt. Since that time have never been
able to read or think of that moving and
pathetic "song" without being overcome by
q sense of the ridiculous.
Will you please see to it, Mr.. Editor, that
Fitz Edward be soon clothed again, and re
main in bis right mind, so that the shyest
of us may scan, in the utmost confidence
and serenity, the pictorial columns of your
paper nor suspect that we have by mistake
got hold of the Playful of the newest Black
Crook at the Varieties.
