On Sunday, not long since, a houni
ran deer to the farrh buildings of Enoch
Horning, who lives about three miles north
west OF this place. Brice Horning drove
the dog away, and thought the deer's es-
cape was certain, and went In;o the house
without any more concero about the little
deet-footed animal. II appears however,
that wbea hornIng went Into the house that
his dog, aud dog that is owned by sneigh-
Dor took to chasing the deer. The snImal

buildings a second time. Ii was greatly
exhausted by the previous chase and the
dogs caught ii net far from the buildings.
Children dragged the dead deer 10 the
house, the .skin was taken off and tue meat
was appropriated To table purposes. Sew

Funk, deceased, died at her home in Clay

Mitilintown, where on October y, 1852, her
husband died. In 1868, with her four chill
dren, she came to Indiana and settled on
the farm in Clay township, where she has
lived until her death. Here, surrounded By
her children and grandchildren, abe deyo-
ted the closing years OF her life TO care and
home and children was the inspiration OF
her life, and devotion TO them in self-sac
ficing effort, will follow with its reward down
through the ears OF the future in blessings
upon her name. Having lived to sec two
generations OF her offspring reach maturity,
still in full possession OF her faculties, she,
like weary traveller, completing lOng
journey, quietly rested until the silent mes
senger beckoned her to depart. But in the
long stIugg gle against the terrible and mortal
maiady, she did not ialter nor repine, but
with heroic courage and christian fortitude,
awaited the Inevitable hour and sank peace
fully to sleep. On the 9th of February,

House Burned.

The Perry county Advocate of March %,
says : On Monday afternoon last, about
half-pa one O'Clock, the dwelling house
on the farm OF Geo. Kepner, in Hunters
Valley some eight miles northeast of New
port, caught fire, and in short time was re-
duced TO ashes. The family of Levi Potter,
who has been a tenant on the farm, had Just
eaten dinner and we're sitting around, when
one OF the boys who had been sent out for
wood, rushed in and shouted that the house
was all on fire overhead and that it could
not be saved. All hands devoted them
selves TO saving the household goods which,
fortunately, had mostly been packed up
preparatory to moving to the farm of Sam
uel Shull, in Penn township. Much furni-
ture and clothing, besides all the meat and
between two aud three hundr,d pounds of
lard were lost. The house Is supposed to
have caught fire from burning chimney.
The building was valued at 500 on which
there was no insurance. During the excite
ment baby was forgotten aud left in the
burning building, but before the fire bad
quite reached the child il was rescued
Wesley BAR, OF this place, who had taken
young Ned Potter home, lost his overcoat
by the sparks setting it on IRE.
