hut it is well to keep it before the
people, and let them know that he
wants the Office another term. With
his past good record, he will be very
hard to defeat at the coming election.
Trustee Ramsey is announced in
this paper as candidate for re-elec-

about four years, and We believe has
done his duty as an officer, giving
general satisfaction to the people.
The committee recently appointed by
the county court to settle with the
officers reports his office in good shape
and satisfactory, his accounts heing
well up with the state and county.
Mr.. Ramsey is very popular. and will
be very hard to turn down in the elec

this week.
Baseball is the fashionable game
with the boys in Milan now.
The weather was uncomfortahy
cold three or four days this week.
Look ont for the circus and menag-
erie dodgers on the street tu-day.
How about the telephone to Hum
boldt and Trenton? Let US hear from
our neighbors.
Our fishermen haven't had good
luck yet. Too much cool weather
and northwest wind.
The frost last Wednesday morning
did considerable damage to straw>
berries and tender vegetables.
A little ice formed here yesterday
morning; hut they say all the berries
were not killed, aud other fruit is still
safe.
There has been some good work
done on Main street during the past
week by the travelling fraternity
known as the tramp.
Our citizens are making many inn
provements around their. houses this
spring. general repairs of houses are
going on, and whitewash Is being frees
ly used. 1t all dds much to the
beauty and value of property.
The town authorities have been for
the last week arresting vagrant
tramps and putting them to WORK on
the streets. While officer Blankin-
ship was conducting two of them to the
calaboose Saturday, after the days
work, they escaped.

An interesting revival is in prog.

good work is increasing in interest
daily. Presiding Elder Whitten
preached several excellent sermons
early in the week. Rev. Mr.. Rob

eral sermons since. The morning
meetings are very well attended and
highly enjoyed. There have been sew.

penitents Is increasing.
All that is now necsessary to insure
the success of our normal school is
for the board OF Mayor and aldermen
to order an. election, to vote ii supple.

This we understand they will do at
their meeting next Monday. Our
people are enthusiastic in its favor, and
we have no doubt that it will he car,

A STRANGE DEATH.
How a Recent Execution i'm London Caused
the Decease of a London Laborer.


London Echol
A death of remarkable character, con-
nected with the execution of the two mur-
derers, Orrock and Harris, at Newgate, on
Monday last, was the subject of an inquiry
yesterday afternoon at the Southwark
Court, by Coroner Langham. Eliza Kate
Williamson deposed that she resided at No.
Liant street, Borough, and was the wife of
the deceased, Alexander Ben Williamson,
aged forty-6ve, who was a laborer in a
foundry. He had enjoyed very good health,
but now and again had complained of pains
IN his head. He came home from work on
Monday night apparently quite well, and
after tea sent witness for an evening news
paper in order TO read the account of the
executions. She returned with the paper,
and he read the account aloud, but stopped
at intervals, quite overcome with emotion.
and he cried several times. Witness begged
him TO put the paper away, saying she did
not want b hear any more about IL, but he
would not do 80, and completed the account
TO himself.
They then went TO bed, bat about 80 a
m. the witness was awakened by noise. And
found the deceased struggling by her side
and trying 10 call out something about the
execution. She tried 10 rouse him. but he
fell on the floor and Continued struggling
