No article in the July number of the atlantic will
attract attention than the Autocrat's engaging
description of his first visit to Europe, more than
fifty years ago. Dr. Holmes has written nothing for
a long time charming in quality or more thor
oughly characteristic. Philip Gilbert Hammerton
gives the first paper of his series, "French and En-
gish which bids fair to be interesting and valu
able as his delightful book Round my House, In
these articles he will indicate the differences in
manners and morals, modes of life and of thought,
between the neighboring nations. As an English
man who has been for many years really domesti-
Gated in France, there is peculiar fitness in his
doing this. George Frederic Parsons's vigorous,
clearly reasoned, and extremely sensible paper on

One of the saddest occurrences ever
happening in this County was that at
Oak Hill on last Saturday, about noon.
Mr.. Evan Davis was at work some dis
tance from home, and his two twin chill
dren, nine years of age-boy and girl
were sent from home to where he was at
work. They did not reach their destina-
tion, and some time after their leaving
home little girl who had accompanied
them came running to the house crying
incoherently about water. At last a
number of people went with her, and in
depression in an old ore-bank, filled
with water by the recent rains, the bod
les Of both were found, dead. There are
many theories regarding the manner of
their death, but the most probable is that
the little boy went in swimming, and
getting beyond his depth, the girl waded
in to help him, and in his fright he
dragged her under with himself. The
bodies were buried at Oak Hill-where
Mr.. Davis resides-on Monday.
