Squire \. II. McGlenn suffered the loss
of a fine 3-yearOl colt a few days since.
While in pasture with other horses it was
kicked by one of them, and the right fore
leg broken just below the knee. The
bone was shattered badly, and as death
would have been the result of the injury,
it was anticipated by shooting. Mr.. Nc
Glenn'S friends regret his loss

Mr.. James Gardner, a venerable Scotch
gentleman, and pioneer teacher of this
county, residing in Union township. at
nSt. He is worthy of commentator,
and his life work as a teacher would
prove interesting reading, but his delica-
cy as regards nOtOriety in public print,
prevents us from making an extended
notice contrary to his wishes. As a
teacher his aim was to excel, and IN pen
manship few could compete with or equal
him.

Pa, with his wife and two little children,
Gerald and Helen, were the guests of
friends at BannOck and Oakdale on Sab

pense the Sacrament on Sabbath. joining
his family on Monday The Rev. Scouller
as is well known was the former pastor of
the L. =. congregation here, and he and
his wife are kindly regarded and remem-

George NJ. McCOnaughey, the enter
prising gas and electric light superin-
tendent, now located at Shreveport, La,
sends us copies Of Southern Mirror and
Picket Guard, and stated therein we
we find that he with other comrades in
the late war have grievance against the
city of Wheeling for nom payment of
bounties, and they have now double
shOtted their guns and are preparing for
war. When George begins to roar, the
Mayor or Council might as well get down
the 'old tea canister, or the cracked tea
pot" and count out the shekelS at once.

of this county, and all will be pleased to
