Bells and was pronounced by all as the
best OF the three-the advantages of a uni

Some of our people are censuriug the
County Superintendent for not visiting
our schools. He has not been in our

made by Prof. Patton regarding this
matter; but they should remember that

County Superintendent receives. that he
cannot afford to visit them all this year.

The sudden and unexpected death of
Mr.. Joseph r. Self, of this town, yester-
day morning, vas a shock to every one
who knew him. Until within a few hours
of his death no apprehension was felt of
serious results by his attending physician,
DR.. NJ. b. Taylor. In the early morning
his condition became alarming, and Drs.
Boyd and Smith were called in consulta-
ton; but the skill of the physicians was
baffled, and Mr.. Self passed quietly and
peacefully away under full consciousness
of the fearful ordeal. Mr.. Self was born
and reared in this community. He gath
cred about him an army of friends. He
won the confidence and esteem of all by
his genial, frank and natural open quail
ties of heart. His enemies, if he had
any, will sincerely regret his loss. His
familiar presence on our streets will be
sadly missed, and his aged and honored
parents will have the heartfelt sympathy
of the community.

SULLIVAN

This county has had many discourage
ments so far as Republicans getting any
share in the offices is concerned. But il
will not always be so. Shortly after the
war we could muster only about 400 vot-
ers, now we are 1900 strong, and some
say 14OO. People away from here think
it incredible for a man of Sullivan to be
a good Republican. On the contrary
they are the truest and best. Excepting
the county offices, where they generally
have to choose between Democrats,
count on Republicans of Sullivan being
true to their colors and their candidates
every time. Give us good papers to cd
ucate the young, and we guarantee a
good crop for the future. Tom TADE.

of them are about done sowing oats and
are pretty we'll along blowing for corn.
Gardening seems TO be the order Of the

is here, and, like the candidates, has
come 10 stay, Even the frog tribes have
begun their usua! spring music, and are
now making night hideons with their
peculiar squalling. After sleeping in the
snow and frozen ground all winter, who
has a better right to squat from gladness
than Mr., Frog on seeing and feeling the
warm spring sun.
Joseph Hill, Esq, who has been con-
lined to his bed for several days, is, we
are glad'to announce, able to stir around
again, which will be gratifying news to

Mrs. William Leonard has been very

twenty-five feet, but he escaped without
any injury except a bruised hip and a gen

no idea a man could think of as many
things as he did in the short period of
time he was rolling off that roof. He
said he thought of all the mistakes he
had made in life, quoted a few scriptural !
passages, sung a hymn and made a
solemn vow if his life was spared he
would henceforth and forever be a good
man; and it is generally thought he will
be as good as his word
