country cunning last week. stopping with
Mr.. John Foreman While MI Vancu-
rem was handling copper shell it acci
dentally exploded, lacerating his hand

Mr.. ANTHONY MOORE. one of our most
worthy and industrious young men, has
suffered for a long time from a palnful
gathering in his jaw, but is enabled to

Mr.. JOHN GILLESPIE, formerly of this
township, and d student at Hopedale.
now located at Charlton, Iowa. is paving
brief visit to relatives in this locality.
He is engaged in teaching.
Mr.. LYLE CAMPBELL, who formerly
owned farm in this vicinity, paid Wis
it to the old place and to his friends re-
Gently. Twenty-six Years have ELAPSED
since his removal. and this is his first
visit. Mr. Campbell was one of the be. t
men in our co immunity. and our our cit
liens will be sorry that his stav was not
prolonged, so that thev would have had

Mr.. SELDEN GEORGE Informs me that
eggs of sizes varying from that of
a hen egg. to as large as a turkey egg,
have repeatedly been plowed up on his
farm this summer. They are deposited
one in place. and about the depth of
the furrow. He states that they were
not deposited there by either of the above
named fowls, and as no wild fowls exist
in our locality that would lay eggs of so
great size. the matter is involved in
mystery. We wouid suggest that the
patriotic small boy" placed them there
previous to July 4th, hoping that they
would hatch out American eagles. Mr..
George states that they are neither hen
nor turkey eggs.
THE nomination of Cleveland does not
produce supreme joy in the hearts of our
Democratic friends in this locality. How
ever, if the party leaders say so, they will
use little mustard and then swallow
him down" just as they did our Horace
Greeley and Others.
As EXTENDED NOTICES have consumed
much space already in the columns of
THE CHRONICLE we can only ask for
little to express our regards, and pay our
tribute of respect to our Captain, our
tried and true friend, Peter Tallman, Esq.
His best deeds were known to cd Al
mighty, to the poor and fripndless, and
the prisoner; his few faults were not con-
eealed, they were apparent; who is able
to cast the first stone? No more fitting
eulogy than that of his Honor Judge
Kelly, and the members of the Bar-wiih
fearful eyes they spoke of his many good
qualities, which are already recorded in
the book of Gods remembrance.
Tearfully, tenderly, yield him to slumber,
Silently, lovingly, leave him to rest;
Manhood's endeavor, and cares that cucumber,
Earth takes them all to her pitiful breast;
Gather the roses and garland the lilies,
Let your fond tributes in sympathy blend,
Shrive with all beautiful blooms of the valleys
One who has never deserted "A friend.
Tearfully, tenderly, yield him to slumber,'
Silently. lovingly, leave him to rest,
While through the football of years without
number,
Memory blossoms in hearts he loved best;
Gather the lilies and garland the roses,
Wreathing name that shall never grow dim,
Yield the strong soul from deaths holy reposes,
Unto the MEKCIFUL-leave it to HIN. H.
