ST. LUKE, Nov. %, 1885.
At the illumination here on Friday night
last the speakers were James C.. Baker
and W. D. L. Borum, of Woodstock, the
boosted "Boss of Cedar Creek, who
lives near Woodstock, and the Governor of
Need Moore. The speaking was opened
by Jas. G. Baker IN a very short speech,
followed by the next Commemorative
Attorney, Borum. Then the Boss
pranced to the foot-lights and played the
character Of Kirby" to perfection. lie
is marvellous orator, and the wonder is
that he was not put in harness before as a
speaker. The meeting was closed by the
governor. He was long and windy. The
governor is the man best known here as
dealer in peculiar kind Of glassware,
contents unknown, except to purchaser
and faster.
There were thirteen in procession and
the commissary consisted Of three gallons
Of Rifeys apple brandy. The line Of
march was up Main street to Marsa Wis
mans saw mill, then to Need-More and
back to the city. The illumination was
very bright. 1t was a sight to sec it across
the creek.
After the glassware governor had closed
there was a balloon ascension in which il
is supposed the governor took passage, as
he has not been heard Of since. If there
WAS as much gas left as escaped when he
was speaking he will probably never re
turn to earth. Some of his admirers are
still surveying the heavens with spy
glasses TO ascertain his whereabouts. The
people here are glad Cleveland was elect
cd last fall, because the governor had
sworn TO leave IN haste if defeated, and
then St. Luke, Need-MOre and the glass
ware trade would have been ruined. We
still hope the governor may return to us
by Thanksgiving day.

A young gentleman of Toms Brook, a
well known cigar manufacturer, and some
thing Of a dude besides, has been promis-
ing a Strasburg young lady a buggy ride
for three OF four weeks. On Sunday two
weeks ago he started from home for the
purpose Of making good his promise. He
was accompanied by a young Woodstock
masher who, on the way down, repeatedly
called his attention TO the turnout lac was
driving, which foryery truth was iearfully
and wonderfully gotten up. The buggy
was the first one ever made in Shenandoah
county, and had never had anything in
the shape of paint, except coat of white
wash. The curtains had ,ong since been
replaced with the faded, greenish looking
covering of several old umbrellas. The
horse was older than the buggy and so
thin that O close observer could see what
he had eaten for dinner. The harness was
made of shoe strings collected from the
old shoes scattered around Toms Brook.
BY the time he had arrived at Strasburg
he had become so thoroughly ashamed Of
the whole turnout that lie hid it in an
alley in rear Of the hotel and started out
to borrow a horse and buggy from some
friend, but failing in this, he sent note
to the lady informing her that he could
not hire a rig at any livery in Woodstock
and then Int ont for home. He now says
that he intends to charter freight train
to take the lady out riding.

Through a gentleman from tho upper
Valley we learn that q distinguished mem
Der Of our fraternity departed this life on
Sunday morning at o'clock IL minutes
1912 seconds, after lingering illness OF
G5 wears and a small fraction. He was
one of the ablest editors, profoundest
thinkers, broadest-guage philosophers,
and throughest-lino statesman known
to the profession. As foreteller
of events certain to occur, he was only ex-
celled by the iunder executive committees
of1s79 and 81, and the readiuster and re-
publican committees Of 1883 and -. Al
ter this introduction to the subject of this
sketch, it is scarcely necessary to say his
name is Mo-.
"Mo - is said to have been born very
Young. and was the victim Of all the DIS
eases incident to infancy from colo to
worms. In later years he has suffered
fortunes from aour-grayy govt, which we
infer was the cause of his demise. On his
tablet is inscribed:
In this narrow cell poor Mo- lies,
Not as on earth, when with his pen
He did so much edItorialze:
This difference twixt Mo- now and
Mo- then.
This is doubtless written after the style
of Horace. who wrote his Odes, and left
the reader to arrange metre to suit his
taste.
If this travelling william has misiniorm-
ed us about matter so solemn as thus,
we plead as set off the report carried from
here to Mo" that somebody was dement,
