dence to remove by the hand of
death one of our best citizens to
tear from the arms of Il loving wife,
Il dOting mother, fond sisters and

life at an age, when the world has
most charms for men. Why have
you departed this life at such a ripe
age, when among all men yon seem
ed, the N most fit to cope with
the duties of life. Life never held
out brighter prospects to man
than those thar lay before you. We
can not even fully realize that
your name has passed from the roll

Frank and cordial in your greet
ing's to all, Ever ready to extend
a helping hand to those in need.
Peace be to thy ashes.

We have some specimens OF corn
grown on the kidgetield Plantation
and ON the Belle Grove Plantation.
One ear shelled gave three tourths
OF "a pound OF corn.
An acre of ground planted IN hills
four feet square with two stalks to
the hill would give 60 bushels at
that rate. Now, when three stalks
per hill can be grown, many OF

be seen that proper care ana cul

that have children who have not
as yet received the first rudiments
OF education, an answer to the
question aS to where they shall

consideration one OF the best pri-

Of good that has been accomplished

North American Review.
An American minister and ex-minister at
the court of st. James have both been at
tracing attention to themselves recently in a
peculiar manner. Rather curiously, too, in
both instances it has been in connection with
journalists. They are Troublesome persons,
these journalists. Let them alone for setting
the world by the ears.
1t was amusing to an outsider to sit back
and watch the pretty row Mr.. Julian Haw-
thorne stirred up with James Russell Lowell,
poet, college professor and diplomat that was.
Mr.. Julian Hawthorne is an energetic news
paper man with a capacity for offending peo-
