Prof. Chas. f. Ramsey, entertained
quite an audience at the school house on
Thursday evening. In his entertainment
of mirth and mystery entitled Fun
without Yulgarity," Mr.. Ramsey certain
ly deserves credit. He performed every
thing advertised, and, we think he can
take cake for making ugly faces. 1t was
really side splitting.
Quite number visited the Fair last
week from this neighborhood. Several
accidents occurred such as being run
into by reckless driving. Mr.. Davis,
near Coochs Bridge, lost wheel, and
had he been driving wild horse, would
in all probability been dragged to
death, as he was thrown out with both
feet through the wheel. Several others
had their carriages damaged.
One of our town ladies got up quite a
filtration with one of the Philadelphia,
track drivers during the Fair. Fortunate
ly her husband was not there that day
Those farmers who claim they could
not raise but one crop of wheat year
and would wait till the 9Th to SOW
seem to be left. That sowed in Sept
TENDER looks well and seems to be free
from fly.
Mr.. Barney Rybold came near being
run over on Saturday last at Snitcher
crossing between Cooch and Dyatt's mill
Ten seconds more and the train would
have been upon him.
Since our last letter our postottlce has
changed hands, and think that Glas
gov can boast of having the smalles

in the State.

ing the same eight-acre field few days
since he found silver watch. 1t be-
longcd to Mr.. Johnson who recognized
the missing companion as soon as it was
handed him. Mr.. j., thirteen years
since, had the watch in his vest pocket
and while cleaning off the pillow it slip
ped out and was hidden in the broken
ground. He soon afterwards missed it
and, having plowed around the field five
time, he concluded to turn the burrows
back again in hopes of recovering the
watch, as he valued it highly. The plow
horses and man went over the ground
Just broken but the earth did not yield
up its treasure. Then followed course
of hoe and spike narrowing, which also
failed to reveal the missing chronometer
The external appearance of the watch,
after reposing in the ground so long was
not so bad but on opening it it was
found to be Il sorry looking time-keeper

All aFi2zle.

Some time ago, about nine months
back, posters were struck off, and notices
inserted within The LEDGER calling a
meeting of the citizens of this town to
take some action in having the limits of
Newark extended. Several meetings
were held, but as it seemed impossible
to arrive at any definite conclusion, the
matter was let drop. We are unable to
tell why the limits were not extended
but the town continues to increase in
population and many houses are built
yearly. Some day probably, the limits
will be changed from the coffin shape
to one covering more territory.

TH0MPSON'S DEFEAT.
Watterson Is Disappointed, but Will Extend
Forgiveness Ii 1t Doesn't Happen Again.

/ LOUISVILLE, KY, March 16.-Of the defeat of
Phil Thompson and the appointment of Miller
for Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Mr..
Watterson win say in tomorrow mornings
Courier journal:
we are not prepared to accept the defeat OF
Phil Thompson as declaration of war by the
President upon the friends of revenue reform,
nor the appointment of Miller, of West Virginia.
as evidence that it is the purpose
OF the. administration to set It's
self against the internal revenue taxes
which pay more than one-t third of the expenses
of government, and without which there could
be no adequate reduction of custom house duties
Personally and locally, we very much regret the
decision, but we trust that the apprehension of
those who have a right to fair Interpretation
and execution of the internal revenue laws, and
have regarded the West Virginian as hostile to
them and their interests, will be disappointed.
The question is economic, not moral, and we
shall be slow to believe that we will be treated
by the President and his advisers in narrow
spirit. 1t will be given out of course, that TINS
is triumph of Mr.. Randall over Mr.. Carlisle.
That however will depend altogether upon
future Developments II the PRESIDENT ailes
himself to Mr. Randall he will do it openly and
not clandestinely. If he does it will involve a
hopeless split of the party and a new array OF
political forces. We want no such confllct, ana
shall do all in our power to avoid 1T. But II,
against the protest of an overwhelming majority
or Democrats, it should come to pass, the ad-
vocates of sound and honest revenue system
Till not be found unequal to it, In affairs OF
this sort it is best to have no concealments.
Dangers are at times avoided by going out to
meet them. The President might have evaded
an issue by the familiar expedient of appointing
a third party and neutral, or he may consld-
er, and he may be right in considering, that
there is no issue at all. To our imperfect knowl-
edge, we are inclined to think that there is, and
that it is not encouraging to the friends of real
revenue reform; but we shall wait with equa-
nanity the course of events"

DEATH OF THE FUEk KING.
Sudden Demise of Sir Curtis M. Lampson,
One of the Few Titled Americans.

ST. LOUIS, March l6.-Sir Curtis NJ. Lampson
''the fur king of the world" died suddenly in
London, Friday. A cablegram to this effect was
received yesterday by Mr. A. E. Burkhardt, Of
this city. Sir Curtis was one of the few titled
Americans, for, though knighted by the Queen
of England, he WIS born and reared in Yer
mont. From an humble beginning as trapper
boy in his native State he became enormously
wealthy and famous the world over. He was
president of the Hudson Bay Company a large
shareholder and former president of the Alaska
Fur Company. He was executor of the great
Peabody estate and it's management is matter
of history. He was head of the London firm of
G. a. Lampson & Co.. and ha was worth mora
ersGttiis, sn We ht was tl large man, or noble
presence, with massive face, clean shaven,
and full suit of white hair. Although more
than eighty years of age, he was strong and
vigorous and attended personally to the busi-
ness of his great establishment up to the day of
his death He was a regular attendant Of the
annual fur sales in London, and is said to have
put in eight hours every day personally superin-
tending the assortment of skins that were re-
ceived from America at the rate of $15, 00O, 600
worth per annun.
trapping for skins, which he sold to Jacob Astor,
He went to London quite young man and
started in the fur business fifty-fve years ago.
He prospered and became rich. He was elected
president Of the Hudson Bay Fur Company and
Alaska Fur Company and finally was generally
recognized as the "fur king" of the world. He
was the first capitalist in Great Britain to take
stock in the Atlantic Cable Company. He was
then in Parliament where he was the champion
of the cable. He did so much to aid the great
enterprise that his services were recognized by
being knighted by Queen Victoria.
The cable has not yet told the cause of this ia
nous old gentleman's death, but he was at his
desk but few hours before he died."

DIR. BURCHARD WON'T GO,
And the Deacons of Murray Hill Church Say
They Can't Make Him Do So,

New YORK, March 16.-The unusually large
congregation of twenty-one assembled at the
Murray Hill Presbyterian Church yesterday
morning hopeful of hearing the Rev. Samuel D.
Burchard preach his farewell sermon; but he did
not do it. The old pastor looked not unlike a
reduced model of Daniel Webster, with his old
time swallowtail coat, modern cutaway vest, and
big, gold seals dangling at his fob. When the
choir got through the first hymn DR.. Burchard
prayed for the congregation and remembered
President Cleveland, and kindly petitioned for
little wisdom for him. After the collection
DR.. Burchard announced that he would preach
from ST. John I, verse T. and said he would talk
on life and light in the hope of proving that life
was light, and light ife and that both meant
something entirely above and beyond their ordi-
nary acceptation But the reverend gentleman
uttered no word of farewell. After the sermon
one of the 6eacons was asked to explain the rea-
son. I'VE can't say" he replied. eve are non
plused. The presbytery requested Brother
Burchard to retire set to-day for the date, and
arranged that he should be paid $500 year as
pension: but he won't go, and we can't make
him very well-that is the worst part of it,"
DR. Burchard refuses to talk about a change,
says he knows nothing about one, and absolutely
declines to listen to interrogatories upon the sub
iect.

INTERRUPTING A PREACHER.
One of Mr.. Beechers Auditors Challenges the
Truth of an Assertion.

BRooKLyN, March 1G-There was rather
sensational episode in Plymouth Church, yester-
day morning, indirectly caused, perhaps, by the
strong feeling growing out of the vigorous war
which is being waged upon Coney Island pool
sellers by the authorities of this city. Mr..
Beecher was expounding the text, Romans xiv,
%: Happy is he that condemneth not himself
in that thing which he alloweth." In dwelling
upon his well known liberal views as to what
amusements are proper for Christian individuals
or communities. Mr.. Beecher touched npon
horse-racing. He said there was no more harm
in running horse against another than in
running one boy against another. But when an
attempt was made to separate. races from
gambling those interested in the course cried
out that it would ruin racing altogether. He
pointed out the evils resulting from pool selling,
and remarked that he did not think we could af-
ford to feed horses on men to improve the breed
of horses by deteriorating geneI alton of young
men. Some one in the visitors gallery nereupon
shouted out:
1T is not true'
''What amt true?' Indignantly responded Mr..
Beecher rs quickly as he could recover from his
surprise at the interruption IF you mean what
! said, Isay it is true, and in laundering EN-
phasis [Applausel. l have sympathy with
everything that enlarges man, his liberty and
his sphere. I have taught that largeness and
self-control in the superior sphere of liberty is
that which Christianity ought to produce among
men, but while l have preached this, have in
sisted that the liberty should be so administered
that it should not tempt the ignorant to error,
but inspire and lift them up, and that doctrine I
shall continue to teach Applausel. That will
do said the preacher deprecatingly. when
Christ was coming into Jerusalem they tried to
make him stop the shouts of the people, and he
said: If you stop the people. the very stones
will cry out Now and then there is an occasion
when think demonstration in religious as
semblies is good thing, and if it ever was a
good thing, / think it is to-day, and on that par
tcular subject
The course of the sermon was then resumed.
Before the service to-day Mr. Beecher said he
should probably preach next Sunday in Atlanta.
'.Times have changed he added, laughingly.

Expectation that They Will BE Modified and
Returned to the Senate.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 16.-''What will Presi-
dent Cleveland do with the reciprocity treatiesp
was the question addressed by the Journal cor
respondent to Democratic senator who is sup
posed to know something of the intentions OF the
new President. He replied:
II do not know the Presidents intentions with
reference to all of them, but, from conversa-
tions last fall feel certain that he
will never return the Nicaraguan treaty
to the Senate. He sees in it the first step to-
wards an alliance with the Central American
powers that would certainly lead to some strain
ing of our relations with the governments Of
Europe"
docs he look upon the ratification of treaty
with Nicaragua as violation of the spirit of the
Clayton-Buwer treaty?p
Il am not prepared to answer that question
directly. I think, however, that before the
close of his administration President Cleveland
will submit the text of convention with the
republic of Nicaragua that will contain all of
the good points of the rejected instrument.
without its Objectionable features, | think, too,
that the policy of commercial union of the
countries of North America suits Mr.. Cleve-
lands views exactly, and that with some modif-
cation the Spanish Mexican an San DOMINICAN
treaties will again be returned to the Senate

Deadly Fight Results.

counter between officers and outlaws occurred
here to-day. On last Sunday noted desperate

He Immediately telegraphed the fact of his ar

Todd was confined and attempted his rescue
The officers opened fire from within, to which
the outlaws replied. A desperate battle ensued
The. attacking party finally withdrew,
King and Red River Tom-dead in the street
The remnant of the party hastily left town to
summon re-enforcements They are hourly ex-
pected to reappear, and the greatest excitement
prevails. The citizens of Springer have appealed
for protection to the district commander who
promptly ordered the troops stationed at Fort
Union to move quickly to the scene of action.
LATER.-Fifty men have surrounded the jail,
and are determined to mob the officers, who
have taken refuge inside Soldiers are momen-
arily expected, and may prevent trouble. Com
