QUEER FREAKS OF NATURE.-G. G.
Brohard, of near Pennington, ought to start
a museum, for he has been visited with
more monstrosities than any man in the
county. He now has lamb in his flock
with one mouth, two noses, two separate
sets of teeth and four eyes, all fully devel-
oped and ready for use. 1t is great curios-
ity and bids fair to become as famous as the
little lamb that Mary had. Mr.. Brohard
not long since had a chicken Matched with
four feet, two tails, and several other ap-
pendages too tedious to mention. 1t is said
that he also had colt foaled few years
ago, with a perfect pair Of saddle pockets
on its back, but it died before it was old
enough to be ridden by sheriff. = Charles

TIE PRIce OF Wool UNDER HIGH AND
Low TARIFF

That wool should be on the free list some
of our wool manufacturers believe would be
best for both the wool-growers and the
manufacturers. They state that under the
present tariff on wool, grades of wool, not
produced in this country, and which are es-
sential to work mp the wool raised here, is
so highly taxed they cannot get at a
price to make it pay, and are thus forced
to curtail their operations. and consequently
diminish their purchase of the home wool
Did they get wool free of duty, they would
manufacture more by having the kind re-
quired to work up proftably the home
crop-thus giving the home producer a
better market and better price for his wool.
The statistics of the wool trade show
that the wool market was better under the
low tariff than it has been since it has been
heavily taxed with the tariff; that our farm
ers received much larger pay when wool
was free than they do now.
A writer says: Will some one explain to
us why the highest and best prices were OBJ
tanned for wool previous to the tariff of 1857,
since when it has steadily declined until it
reached 25 cents in 1882 and 1888. when
portion of the tariff was removed and the
price at once began to advance?-Lynch-

GThe young daughter of a dear friend OF Walt
Whitman's died few years ago. The old poet
sat in the night watch about the dead girl and
wrote the following, which combines religion
and philosophy j
We know not what it is, dear this sleep SO deep
and still;
The folded hands, the awful calm, the cneeR
so pale and chill:
The lids that will not lift again. though we
may call and call.
The strange white solitude OF peace that settles
over all.
Weknow not what 1t means. dear. this DESC
late heart-pain;
This dread to take our daily way and walk in
it again;
We know not to what other sphere the loved
who leave us go.
Nor why we're left to wonder still and why we
do not know.
But this we know Our loved and dead, If they
should come this day
Should come back and ask us. "What is life ?"
not one of us could say.
Life is mystery as deep as ever death can be;
Yet, oh, how sweet it is to us, this life we live
and see!
Then might they say-these vanished ones
and blessed is the thought
$50 death is sweet to u.s." beloved. though we
may tell You naught;
We may not tell it to the quick, this mystery
of death,
Ye may not tell us, if ou would, the mystery
of BREATH
The child who enters life comes not with
knowledge or intent;
So those who enter death must go as little
children sent.
N othing is known. But believe that God
Is overhead.
And as Life is to the living, so death is to the
dead.

10Th, 1SS9.-By a complication Of diseases
that baffied the skill of physicians, was
forced, two years or more ago, to take my
bed and there lay helpless and hopeless for
many months. That I had Bright's disease
there could be no doubt, as every symptom
of that dread disease was present. In ad-
dition to that I had dyspe psia in it's worst
form and also excruciating rheumatism. l
was at the time of taking sick, nearly rs
years old, and had up to that time been a
man of good health but my condition was
now painful in the extreme and critical be-
sides. While thus afflicted, l heard of
"Warnsr's Safe Cure," and sent to Staun-
ton for some. 1t may appear strange, but
used less than two bottles and arose from
my bed sound and well. I am now nearly
seventy seven and am still IN health and

NEURALeIA.-The editor of the Char
lottesville Chronicle was very incredulous
about neuralgia and believed it was simply
s'an imaginary ailment" until last week when
neuralgia bounced him, tortured and agoni-
zed him, and now he believes it to be one of
the most unimaginary ailments imaginable
by the most vigorous imagination. We can
truly sympathize with our friend Bounce"
and appreciate his graphic description of
his sufferings, for we have had frequent and
convincing evidences that neuralgia is not
can imaginary ailment," but terribly and
excruciatingly real one, that can, in Eve
minutes, convince its victim that death is
preferable to life.

in communication with Mr.. M v. Richards,

gotiation with Mr.. Richards in regard to the
distribution Of circulars and advertising mat
ter throughout Michigan, Minnesota, Wiscon-
excursions from those states to this Valley and
we have very little doubt but that they will be
arranged. We are very much in hopes of hav-
ing great many land prospectors through
this county in the next few months. Whilst
we have many farms on our books for sale, still
we would like to have a few more bargains to
Offer and any man wishing 10 sell, who will
put his land in our hands for sale at reason
able price. may rest assured that we will ad-
show it to those intending to purchase, free of

made that we charge any commission, and
then very reasonable one.

interest to do so, but the quality of the land
and the price asked therefor are the things TO
be looked at, and are most important in try
poor land to sensible man at a fancy price.

BRIEF AND SINeULAR.-The will of an
octogenarian, by the name of Breedlove, was
admitted to probate at the last term of the
County Court of Madison county, which for
brevity and singularity has not, perhaps,
been excelled. 1t read as follows: "If l
leave anything when die, 1 desire that it
shall be spent on my grave and myself. "
To this the name of the testator was signed,
the whole being in his handwriting! About
$500 in money, nearly all in gold, were
found on his person. He died alone in his
room. and it was not known till the next
Ne0s.
