OUR COUNTRY IN MOURNING.

The death of General Grant is universal.
~ ,nourned throughout the United States
and in the Republics Of America. From
across the high seas come messages OF sor.
row and mourning. 1t is far more univers.
al than when President Lincoln was assas.
sinated, for then the tramp of the war. horse
was heard and the tread Of armed infantry.
Then the nation was divided, and too hot
and hostile was the blood Of half our fellow
countrymen 10 do augnt but rejoice that
the assassin was successful. When Presi-
dent Garfield died the mourning was not
so intense as to-day, for around him was
no halo, and in the hearts Of his country.
men his name was not enshrined as was
his who died at Mount McGregor. Gen.
eral Grant passed away amid his family
and his friends, those who were far dearer
to him than his great fame. For him death
had no terrors, for too Oft had he faced it
upon the field and was ever calmest when
carnage reigncd. To him, perhaps, more
than to all others, the Union owes its in.
tegrity, and while he was most eminent,
whole country as willingly and as freely
gave its blood and devotion. The spirit
that prompted and sustained the General,
prompted and controlled the soldier Gen.
eral Grant saw the cause for which he
fought triumphant, but when it's triumph
was secured the war for him was over. For
those whom he had conquered he had but
feeling of friendship. He not only saw
the Union saved, but he lived to see it
more firm than ever, and 20 see those who
had fought on either side fraternize and
discuss the war as thing forever past, and
thing to be regretted. His countrymen,
remembering his great services, are to-day
in mourning for the old hero.

GRANTS RESTING PLACE.

The last resting place Of General Gran,
will not be Central Park, New York City
but Riverside Park, which is in all respects
preferable. Riverside Park is narrow
and irreglar strip Of ground lying between
Riverside Avenue and the Hudson river.
from Seventy.second street north to One
hundred ana ,hirtieth street. the Hudson
River Railway, however, passes between
1t and the river The average width from
east to west is about 500 feet, while the en-.
tire length is nearly three miles. The area
is about l7S acres, part OF which is laid out
in walks BY the Department OF Public
Parks, while the other parts still await the
landscape gardeners touch. The ground is
considerably above the level Of the Hudson
river. The views from the drive are strik.
ing and picturesque. giving glimpses ofthe
nndalasing, tree-covered park. stretches of
the Hudson river and the Weehawken hills
opposite 1t is believed that the vicinity of
Riverside Park will in time become pre-.
e'ninen''y the aristocratic part Of New
York. The attractions are very great, and
il cannot fail to become the most aristocrat
'c OF all the parks Of the city. 1t is, perhaps,
all in all, the most appropriate place in
which to lay the old hero to his final rest.
1t is certainly more desirable place than
Central Park. The name OF the Park will
probably be changed to Grant Park. 1t

There are some people in every
community who affect to look upon q
newspaper editor as an all-seeing, and
allwise power. So much SO that
were he constituted according to
their apparent ideas,-a]low the ex-
pression-he would be inferior only
to the Almighty, and hardly that;
nothing from the drowning Of rat in
his neighbor 5 pork barrel, to full de-
tails OF the war in Egypt would es-
cape his notice. Friends, if such
you are, divest yourselves of such
decisions. 1t is just as impossible
for HIM, the editor, as it is for any Of
YOU to be in every nook and corner
in the town and county at one and
the same time, and know ALL that is
going on. If you know anything that
may be of interest to your neighbors,
kindly tell 1T to your local editor and
you may be assured he Will do what
he can to have it in readable shape in
his paper. Don't hide it under the
half bushel and wait until it is
pounded out of you by the knowledge
searcher's mallet.

A Mysterious Affair.

An affair which is clouded in much
mystery recently occurred at DON
nelly. A young man named John
Erickson, who lives with his parents
on farm not far from that place,
was in the village during the day.
Towards evening he started down
the track intending to return home,
just little while before one of the
west bound freights arrived at Dom
nelly. He was afterwards found at
point about one half miles down the
track in q badly bruised and uncon-
scious condition. DR.. Hulburd was
called at once, and he dressed the
wounds of the injured man and made
him as comfortable as possible. He
was at first thought to be fatally hurt
but the chances now for his recovery
are about even. The circumstances
point strongly towards foul play. He
is steady sober fellow, and while in
town that day, drank only one glass
of beer. 1t is stated that he was met
at the place where he was found by
two young men with whom he had
had some hot words and whether he
was dealt deadly blow by one of
them or was struck by the freight he
met is mystery that vet remains to
be unraveled.
