"A correspondent of the Rochester

Austin Is a beautiful place. Surrounded as
it is BY nature al groves, ITS walks shaded by
grand old eims and native trees OF all varie-
ties. the gentle murmur OF the river lowing
along its course gives it quite homeiike ap-
pear nee rarely found in western towns The
buildings are for The most part well built, aud
present II neat, thrifty appearances; while
, the amount OF business continually going
on speaks well for the resources OF the coun-

Mrs. Cornish, wife of E. W. Cornish,
and eldest daughter of J. II. Bonesteel,
met with Il sad fate on Sunday morning
last. The family composed of Mr.. and
Mrs. Cornish. and a little three year.old
boy. had just finished their breakfast. Mr..
Cornish had gone out to the barn, the
wife had commenced doing up the break
fast dishes, and the little boy had stepped
outside to feed the dog the boy heard
the report of gun. He ran into the
house and saw his mother lying upon the
floor bleeding. He ran out and told his
father Mr.. Cornish came in as soon as
possible-the wife and mother made one
gasp and died She undoubtedly attemp-
ted to remove the gun from one position
to another and by some means the gun
was discharged, the charge entering her
most instant death. Mrs. Cornish was
about % years of age. Mr.. and Mrs Cor
nish had their lives insured jointly in the
Kaw Life Insurance Co., for the amount
of 5000, which will be paid on proof of
| the death of Mrs. Cornish.-SDring VaL-

Mrs Holway is now prepared to give
instruction in oil painting, for very
short time only, to all who may desire; we
hope she may have, as she we'll deserves,
a full class. The training of art interest
in a community is an object well worthy
the attention Of all. The enticing into
bloom and full fragrance latent talents in
| this direction is only helping to lift hui
| manty up into the higher life. We be-
| iicve that Austin has those among her
amateurs who love painting. and whose
artistic inclinatlons only need a little as
| sistancc to develop in them a love for this
beautiful accomplishment that will avail
itself of every favorable opportunity for
Improvement. A little interest and
warmth Of effort Il little studying and &C;
quainting oneself in art studies, Il little
reading and thought upon that which re-
lates to art, and an appreciation OF this
transform a positive Indifference into pos
tive fcIvor and admiration. All who love
to sec fine painting in oil, call at Mrs.
Holway's studio over tho Mower County
Bank.
For richness Of illustration, for cx-
