a singular manner While engaged in
telling a tree in piece of woods on the
farm, the jar caused by the blows of
the axe dislodged an old broken limb
which fell and struck Goodher on the
head. He dropped to the ground
senseless and was crrried to his home
in that condition by his companions.
DR.. Hall, of Burlington, was summoned
and did all in his power to aid the
unfortunate man, but death ensued at
an early hour Tuesday morning from
conclusion Of the brain Mr.. Goodher
was 80 years of age and leaves a widow
and two grown daughters. He was
brother of VIM. A. and Jonathan

Bury the croaker out in the woods
in a beautiful holein the ground, where
the bumble-be9 humble, the wood peck
err pecks and the straddle-bug straddles
around. He is no good to people of
push, too practical, stingy and dead,
but he wants the whole earth and slice
of the moon and the stars that shine
overhead He is too far ahead or he's
too far behind, or else he is out of the
trot, and he razzle-dazzles the rest of
the crowd and keeps the whole mess
boiling hot he croaks at the rain, at
the wind at the sun, at the good, at the
wealth of the place when a project is
ripe he turns up his pipe and croaks
through the hole in his face he's
poor old concern, and his bones wouldn't
burn if you hand them down to old
Nick, he'd make it so hot for the fiends
down below that the crowd would
vamose mighty quick so let's haul him
off to the humble bee roost, and shove
him a mile under ground, he's no use
anyway, get him out of the way and
make room for man that is sound.
