M'. Edit0r:-I had thought to say nothing
in reply to the lecture of our friend canon"
in the last issue of the WING, bat owing to
circumstances similar to my contemporary,
1 am persuaded to apologize fol my mis-
takes. Before taking my departure to the
land of the "Seven Sleepers," to where [
am so suddenly consigned by your worthy
correspondent canon" hopeless of being
resurrectsd until the next Presidential cam
paign, 1 wish first to apologize for my not
intended Islander of any lady or gentleman
and feel sorry that "Anon" got hit so square
between the eyes, that dose of Anti poke
your nose-well have not space to put in
the whole word, it being composed of about
eight syllables, seven hyphons and several
apostrophies and bitter dose for Ole TO
swallow, being second handed from "Auon"
without any evidence of a cure in his own
case. Well L suppose l will have to submit
to a trial, and permit canon" to go brawl-
ing with mouth open from ear to ear until
he finds a remedy for his almost incurable
case. This may appear rather rough, but |
like to be caught telling the truth once and
awhile,
"Uh that some power the gift would gae
To see ourselves as other see us,
1t would from many blunder free us
And foolish notion"
do not think my attempt in correcting
the mistakes made by "Orderly" had any
reference to the character of our fair sex
mentioned by "Anou" in his rambling
epistle of the 18th inst. 1 am glad that l
have been so plainly notified that others be-
side myself live in glass houses, and [ shall
hereafter be careful how L throw stones
against their lofty spires lest they totter
and fall. 1 AN much pleased with the elo-
quence of my worthy "Anon," but think if
he or she was to take a voyage to the Isle of
Sicily and instead of poking his nose in
other peoples business would poke his head
into the 'cave of Echoes" and hear the re-
verberating sound from his own throttle, he
could return to "Sweet America" with more
eloquence than DemosJhenes ever dreamed
Of Now with reference to the counseling
of my own household referred to by "AnOn"
1 am willing to take wise counsel at all
times from any virtuous source. but loathe
to practice the example of our supposed
"Anon'' for the purpose Of creating moral
excellence in my household. 1 learned this
proverb years ago, "thet stitch in time
saves nine," but [ think nine times nine
would be the sum and total of the stitches
required to patch up the reputation of this
cranky scribe called canon"

Allied Him. Almost Buried
At1se.

At Guide Rock, the other day, a
gentlemen Of hat place become sick,
and after awhile, 20 all appearance
passed from this verid Of trials to one
Of perpetual sunshine. His friends
we're notified and at once gathered
around his inanimate form, and wept
a people will under like circum-
stances. The undertaken was notified
and with q few friends proceeded to
his late residence to perform q Of
the last sad rites in such cases, pre-
pairing his body for the grave. The
work was done and the body laid on a
cooling board exposed to the chilling
atmosphere owe night, the grave had
been prepared, the coffin procured,
and everything made ready for . due
observance Of the solemn occasion
Of depositing in mother earth the bodJ
of one who had departed for the great
land beyond the blue. The morning
came, but behold with it came the
discovery hat the body was still
warm. This fact led TO sending for
q Of our city physicians, who on ar
irving on the scene, placed his ear
over the region Of the mans heart
and at once discovered that it per-
formed its regular functions. Re-
storatives were administered and in q
short time afterwards there appeared
more evidence that the man was alive,
and only lay in . comatose condition
or q trance as it is generally called.
The probabilities are that if medical
aid had not been procured when it
was he would have been buried alive
and nobody would have known his
fate unless discovered by accident in
some other way.
LATER.--Slnce the above was put
in type Mr.. Fairfield, the iuan whom
the article above referred to, never
rallied from the condition named, and
finally the body gave evidence Of dis
solution, and he was buried on Wed
nesday afternoon. He was 20 years
old and had been sick for five years.
1t is decidedly a strange case.

to the enc in Kearney, in Red Cloud.
The plans have not been made out
yet for the proposed canal, but Is
soon as they are there will be a chance
given to our citizens to take hold Of
he matter apd push it through. Such
nenterprise rs that would be Of in
calcuable benefit to the city,
and would furnish water
power unequsled in the
the state. Let the company be orga-
mixed at once and gotten under head
way. The Kearney canal has done
more than any NJ thing to build
that city up to its present proportions,
aud will ultimately make it large
city. Red Cloud can construct q
similar n Tor much less money,
that would make our city boom.
Will it be accomplished. The hoard
