KNOB CREEK NEWS.

KNOB CREEK, May Notwithstanding :
ing the fact that quite a long interval
has elapsed since we appeared IN the
columns of your most valuable and de-
servedly popular weekly, we have by
no means been fOrgetful of our duty,
but have only failed in the performance.
Nevertheless we propose to break the
monOtony of silence, and II our past
negligence will only be excused, will
promise to be more punctual in the fu-
ture.
Owing to the abundance of rain this
spring, farm work in general has been
considerably belated, However the
greater number of our farmers have
done planting their corn, and few have
begun plOwIng. Oats, clover, grass,
etc ARE looking fine. and as for wheat it's
simply "clear out of sight" Irish pOta-
toes are somewhat backward but other
wise all right. They say that peaches
won't be Gin it" this year. We suppose
apples will be plentiful, though, and
with them the farm will come through
fat and Saucy.
II is with profound sadness that we
chronicle the death of Mrs. James Voor-
HES, which took place at her home
near Goodwin Sunday morning. De-
ceased had been suffering great pain for
some time, and her death, though not
unexpected, will be deeply lamented by
her legion of friends.

AN INFuRIATEo PRIEST.
One of His Pensioners Forced to Lea,

One Of His Practitioners Forced to Leave
Church at the Point of a Revolver.
BURLINGTON. n. j., May "A re-
markable scene occurred in st. Paurs
Roman Catholic church here Sunday.
1t consisted in Father Treacy, the
pastor, forcing one of his Pensioners
from the edifce at the point of a re-
volver. Matthew Gaynor was the VIC
tim of the priests rash act, and the
cause Of 1t was the attentions being
paid by Charles Massey, Protestant,
to Gaynor's eighteen-year-old daughter
Nellie.
Father Treacy has noted with dis
pleasure the intimacy of the young
couple and finally told the father of the
girl that Massey's visits must cease or he
must consider his church relations
severed. Mr.. Gaynor paid no attention
to the matter. Sunday morning when
he entered the church Father Treacy
rushed down the aisle and ordered him
to leave. Mr.. Gaynor refused, where
upon the infuriated priest hurried to the
chancel, and. getting a revolver, threat
ened his life unless he complied with his
request. Mr.. Gaynor, fearing he would
be killed, beat retreat.

is again in circulation that Senator John
Sherman, of Ohio. will before many
months announce his retirement from

which is the editing for publication of

Sherman, wrote to him during thu
eventful years of the war, They will,
