Rurr Robbins, GreatShow,

The great Burr Robbins circus and
menagerie, which exhibited here on
Saturday last, won the good opinion
of our people, not only by the fine
character of the entertainment, but by
the unexceptionable department of all
hands connected with it. The street
pageant was equal to any we have
seen, and was witnessed admiringly
by several thousand citizens. The
menagerie collection was large and
interesting, and the circus perform
ance first class in every feature and
respect. Taken upon the whole,
therefore, we pronounce the Burr
Robbins show one of the very best
upon the road, and one of the worthi-
est of patronage. We wish it the
splendid success which it merits

collection of people. Beneath the can

Everything that performed, whether

William w. Beckwith, son of Hamlin
and Sarah Beckwith was born i'll Ra-
VIENNA, Ohio, JanuaIy %, 1S45. His father
died in August, 1852. leaving him and AN
older brother to care for their widowed
mother. He always proved a loyal son.
The comfort of his mother was first and

transactions.
In the fall of 1868 he enlisted for three
years in the service of his country, join
ing the One Hundred and Twenty-eighth
Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and remained
| in service until discharged ut the close of

Until within a year past William has
enjoyed a comfortable degree of health,
| sufficient to enable him to attend to his
ordinary duties, although he never fully
recovered from the effects of a severe cold
| taken in the winter of 1875. Since Feb
| ruary last he has been confined to the
| house, and there, day by day, notwith-
standing the unwCaried attentions of a
| fond mother, and all that other loving
hands could do, he wasted away until
the 10Th day of July, 1856, when death
came to his relief.
William was patient sufferer; never
complained; everything that was done
for him was Just right" He was per-
| fectly conscious to the last. The day be-
fore he died he called to his bedside his
mother, sister Hattie and nephew Harry,
and gave each his parting advice. A few
hours after, in answer to the question
| asked by the writer, Are you willing to
| co." his reply was Yes; 1 have tried TO
| do right. would like to stay on moth
er's account, but am willing to GO" A
few hours before his death, noticing the
purple color of his hands, he said: at
| is all right"
The funeral took place from his late
home on Wednesday, the 2lst, under the
auspices of Mcintosh Post, g. A. r., Rev,
G. A. Stone officiating. ~

If the grandmothers scattered weeds in

cultivated in flower gardens and the num-

to lind a home where no flowers or orna-

growing plants and flowers at the windows
of nearly every farmhouse, and their pres

bpnutiful than some of the weeds we are
irving TO destroy. 1t is a deusion to sup

the plants which they cultivate, and at

No Need to 90 West.

The National Stockman and Farmer, in
calling attention to the farms advertised for
sale in its columns, says:
There is class of people who enjoy 60

eminent prices, enduring the hardships and
deprivations incident to such life but the
history of our western border proves that a
great many of these people do not remain
much longer than is necessary to prove up
and clear title, if so long that. Some
one comes along and gives them a little pre-
MUM for their bargain, and under the
strange fascination this kind of life has for
them. off they 90 to the front again to take
up a different claim, oftentimes under diff
fercnt name. Those who purchase the half
made homes and farms make the most prof
it. Still more emphatically is it true that
those who locate on the well-improved farms
in our central states get much for which
they pay nothing. They generally buy al
IA bargain and start in with the comfort,
and conveniences of life around them
Many man passes by good farms on his
way TO the far west, to regret the remain
der of his days that he thus took his family
from those surroundings that minister st
much to both health and happiness.
What the Stockman says of the gooC
farms in the central states passed by on the
route to the west applies with more force t.
the farms here which are left to be sold
sometimes for less than half what the build
ings. fences and improvements have cost.

The National Stockman and Farmer, pub

as its name indicates to live stock interests
1t is one of the ablest papers in that line
which we have ever seen. Concerning the
prospective price of cattle, the Stockman
says
1--WE believe they will-probably not at
once, and perhaps not for several weeks,
but there is good reason for believing that
they will sell higher late in the season. The
most intelligent opinion seems to crystalize
around the expectation of better prices for
cattle three months hence; and good many
who predict an improvement have on the
strength Of their faith gone into feeding
under conditions which will not allow them
to come out whole without an advance
Those hoping for an advance set the date
anywhere from February on, but few ex
pressing confidence in the markets of De
cember and January Should all these
hopes be realized, however, it does not nee
cssarily mean great things for cattle, since
prices might advance pretty substantially
