Our greatest enemy, death, has again
visited our community and carried off the
spirit of our beloved neighbor, Mrs.
Nancy Williams. Death shows no respect
of persons, but takes young or old, which
should warn all to be ready for the sum-
mons.
Mrs. J. H. Hutchinson has been quite
sick the past week, and sorry to hear is no
better at present writing.
Miss Kate Craig is very sick with
typhoid fever. We regret very much to
learn OF her sickness. It is such trying
disease.
Our worthy physician, DIR. Duckworth,

ME. EDITOR: In your issue Of the 1st

doubt. from an excessive accumulation of
ofccn bile, joins "Selah" in dubbing ''Icha.

"Smart Alexis IchaJ0d is able to take
care of himself in any sort Of contro-
vorsy, whether it bo with the bald-headed
Tail of a modern Psalm, or with corn
inspector, who feels more pleasure in find
ing where the "shoe pinches' than in
working on the public roads.
The meaning of the word Selah invited
yery willing to do so, for he had carried
his point. The mud was taken from of
the floor OF Slab bridge, and the sleeper
was replaced Good! It has been said:

But, gentlemen. do rot be guilty OF the
sin of omission. You are salaried officers

-"The Dounty which the Government
offers on sugar. says the Indianapolis
Journal, "has undoubtedly stimulated the
production of beet and sorghum sugar in
Nebraska, Kansas, Utah, and California.
The output in Kansas, which is from sor-
ghum, will exceed 100000 pounds, while
one beet sugar factory will turn out
G,000,000 pounds and another in Lehigh,
U. IT., will yield 100000, and the total
of the three States and Territory above
named will reach 27 100000 pounds. The
beet sugar appears much more successful
than the sorghum" No part of the re-
gion here defined is in the South. If the
Journal will consider the circumstance at
tentively it will understand, we are sure,
why Republican Congress are so ready
to abolish the protective duty on cane su-
ear and offer a liberal bounty interest for
the production Of all kinds of tho pro-
duct.
The "living man with a broken
neck" who has been earning livelihood
for some time in New York by exhibiting
himself in dime museum, tried to COM
nit suicide by poison the other day, but
was prevented from accomplishing his
purpose, wo believe, by the very misfor-
tune which was probably the cause Of the
attempt. ut is question whether man
in this miserable condition should not be
allowed to put an end to his worthless
and unhappy existence, which most peo-
ple would decide in the affirmative, de-
spite Biblical teachings to tho contrary"
A Wisconsin infidel promises to en-
brace Christianity provided the ortho-
dox ministers of that State will consent to
allow themselves to be towed in a scow
to the centre Of Lake Michigan and there
left without sail, oars or rudders, and
thereafter come safe to port with the help
only of faith and prayers. OF course the
clergymen have not and will not accept
his sophistical proposition they might,
however, extend similar challenge to
the infidel, they promising, in order to
convince him Of the efficacy of prayer, to
pray that he would be drowned. The
advantage OF this method over the former
is the difference Of the value Of the lost
articles.
The Secretary Of the U. S. Treasury
has issued circular to custom officers in
regard to the packing of cotton on ships.
It embodies the result of the investiga-
ton of fire in tho cotton cargo on the
British steamship City of Richmond, in
juno last, conducted by the British Gov
ernment, and declares that the frequency
of fires on ships carrying cotton is in
great measure owing to the loose condi-
ton of the packing Of bales. The circu-
lar quotes The laws bearing on the SUBJ
ject, and enioins on custom officers the
Importance of enforcing strict compli-
ance Herewith.
