The pleasant pastoral relations of DR.. 5.
M.Osmond will! cease with the Presby terrain
Church of this town about the first Of
December, when the Doctor will for a time
with his family, make Philadelphia their
place of residence. We shall part with DR.
Osmond regretfullg, not only on account of
the loss of his genial comp lnonship, but AS
we'll because his scholarly attainments and
poetic ability have reflected more than one
ray of pardonab'a pride upon Elkton.
Besides number of fugitive poems of high
merit, DR.. Osmond has, while resident of
this town, given to the world his most
ambitious poetic effort-Sulamith-a metri-
cal romance, evincing originality of thought
as we'll as beauty and power of poetic
expression. 1t affords US pleasure to men
ton that the November number of the
ReuielC of Rerie,US makes this pleasant and
deserved notice of Sulamith
1.-THE author unused on the strange fact that
such passionate yet pure and elevated
poem as the Biblical Song of Songs could
spring from the heart of such an immoral
king as Solomon. 'Suamith' is the pure
woman whose love previous to the great
kings moral fall made him capable OF writ
ing such song, and the story of whose
beauty, character and lite are here told
with poetic yet philosophical insight and
with true oriental richness of color. The
strength and progress of the prevailing
blank verse give way occ .sion Ally to beiuti
full bbyHGs<en songs. 1t isaas!4S necessary
to say that the conception of the poem
highly original and interesting. The
author is now living in Maryland, but
from his long residence in Iowa, that STATE
will claim him among the growing group
OF her truly artistic and powerful writer's.

Athletics,

Mr.. Wilson L. Coudon, Cecils noted
athlete, eclipsed his weSid records in
throwing the Sand IL pound hammers,
at Elktenon Saturday afternoon last.
The day was very unfavOrable, and Mr..
Coudon had made little preparation for
the event having come 20 Elkton at the
solicitation of several of his friends who
were anxious to see him toss the
weights.
The throws were made with one hand,
unlimited run. The distances We're as
follows: Sb hammer 80 feet,
inches, previous record 204 feet 12lb
hammer 164 feet 2 inches, previous
record 159 feet inches Mr.. Coudon
also threw the 16 poundihammer 1877 #,
which did not equal the record. Mr.
Coudon stated to the WING reporter
that he should probably make no effort
to have the throws put on record because
he thought he could do better under
more favorable circumstances. He
thought that the Spirit Of the Times,
newspaper. would accept the throws as
records.

PRIMITIVE M
Queer People and Customs In Our own
Land.

Queer People and Customs In Our Own
Land
81 shall not soon forget a hunting ex-
cursion l made through southern Indi-
ana" said Prof. John Francis to a re-
porter for the Chicago Evening News.
"Of all the queer people and funny
sights | met the queerest there. We
were travelling by carriage over what
the citizens called the backbones of
White river. l would call them immense
ridges, with scarcely room for a wagon
road on top and occasionally q house
on either side. No, not a house, but q
shanty. We had been travelling owe
these ridges or ~'backbones' for several
hours and became very thirsty, but
could not see the sign of a spring any
where. We at last drove up in front of
one of these shanties. l alighted from
the wagon, stepped to the door to
knock, but before l did so l noticed the
contents of the room. A table with the
remains of a meal was standing in the
middle of the floor; baby shoes, buck
cts, spools, tin cans and various other
objects were scattered over the floor.
In fact, the room presented the appear
ance of q secondhand store after
a fire. In answer to my knock some
one in the rear of the house called:
Come in 1 came in or at least
tried to. When I reached the door
at the opposite side of the roo
and looked out l saw piled on a half
finished porch several straw beds and
upon the beds was piled the entire
family, taking an afternoon sun bath.
Immediately upon seeing me a young
oma arose to her feet and said:
What do you want?' told her that |
would like to find some drinking water
for myself and friends. She did not say
a word hut came toward me, brushed
by me through the door and with a re-
markable agility lodged between that
heterogeneous mass on the floor to the
other side of the room where hung a
gourd dipper. She handed it to me,
with the remark: 'Jist go down under
the hill and help yerself, but don't fur
git to bring back the gourd.' 1 did as
requested and found delicious water.
Upon going a little farther on the road
we saw another shanty. Presently, as
we came near it, we saw a small boy
come running around the corner of the
shanty, after him came another and
another until six had passed, when a
large woman put in an appearance witty
a raised club in her hands. 1t was a
thoroughly comical sight, but immedi-
ately on seeing us the woman dropped
the club, which fell on a pet pig stand
ing near and made it squeal for dear
life. One of the little girls grabbed the
pig in her arm and after stroking it and
it placed it in a box which con-
tanned straw as tenderly as though she
had been some fashionable miss hand
