As leap year has now been here q couple
of weeks, and our Young friends Of the
Eureka House, have not yet received any
proposals, from the fair ones, they take
this method of informing the gentle sex if
any of them have any inclination towards
changing their name, and to do well, not
to fail to call at the Eureka House. where
they can have their choice Of young men,
old bachelors, or even widowers, who we

will be the first TO avail themselves of
this grand opportunity, as the first comes,
has choice, and the boys say il they re-
main single another year 1t will not be
their fault.
Fifteen different kinds Of tobacco at
the Bakery.
A few days ago we had the pleasure Of
being shown through the large furniture
works here, where we found everything
busy in turning out large lot Of the best
quality OF furniture, for which they have
a steady and constant demand. We also
saw buggy, the property Of one of the
workmen, that was certainly the worst
wrecked vehicle that we have ever seen.
Almost every spoke in 1t was bursted out,
the top broken to eternal smash, and
everything else about it broken except
the dashboard. Now, the strange part
about this wreck is, that the owner can
tell nothing about it, and as he has never
been known to crook his elbow or get ele-
waited in the slightest degree, it is one OF
| the most mysterious affairs We have ever
had In this community. The horse was
evidently no kicker as the condition Of
the dashboard clearly proved, and his eyes
are affected to that degree that he can't
tell the best quality of hay from the most
Indifferent shavings. In the language of
Dundreary, ut is one Of those things that
no fellow can find out"
Leather valises at Hopewell & Bros.
Mr.. Joseph P. Cooper, the Oldest man in
this community, died on Monday morn
ing, at his home on the eastern edge OF
town, where he had resided for the greater
part of his long life Of nearly 81 years, as
he wOuld have reached that advanced
age in May next. His death was caused
by severe cold resulting IN congestion OF
tho lungs, which carried him off after
only few days of suffering. In the death
of 'Uncle joe" as no was Familiarity and
aifectionately called by all who Knew
HIM, another of the fast breaking links
that connect us with the long ago has
been broken, and like a shock Of corn
fully ripe he has been gathered to his
fathers. Upright and honest In all the
relations Of life, Of kindly, sympathetic
nature, he passed through life as bright
and stainless as the sun Of long summers
day, leaving at its setting on his evenings
life sky the warm, rosy glow of the kind
" memories that live after him. He leaves
six children living to mourn the loss Of
one who had ever been the most
affectionate Of fathers and the truest Of
friends.
