One mounting last week. Rev. T. II. Gar.

One morning last week Rev. q. H. Gar
rett, who lives in Broadway. Township,
found his brag rooster dead In bis yard
with it's head eaten off. Mr.. Garrett had
recently lost several fine chickens, and he
concluded that a mink was visiting bis
chicken roost at night. He at once secur--
ed some strychnine and put 1t on the dead
rooster, which he left near the roost the
following night. Next morning Mr.. Gar
rett went out to see an owl, which meas
ured fifty six inches from tip to tip. ly.
ing cold and stiff by the side Of the dead
rooster.
Our Bolton correspondent notes the
death of Mr.. William A. Geer, which oc.
Cured at his home in that village last
Sunday afternoon. He had for q long
time been afflicted with that painful and
ever fatal disease known as Bright's dis
ease, and for several weeks past his family
and friends have been expecting the sum-
mons of death. Mr.. Geer was the second
son of the late Solomon Geer, and was
born and reared in this County. He was
in the 42nd year Of his age He was de-
voted husband, an aftectionate father,
and most genial, upright citizen, who
was known and highly esteemed by q
and four children, besides a mother and
seven brothers, to cherish his memory,
and III their sad bereavement they have
many sympathizers.
An exchange truly remarks that the
man who isn't in lO7e with his town ia
destitute of that public spirit which is
characteristic of every genuine American.
He lives without enjoying life and after
his final journey to the cemetery has been
made, his memory is not long cherished
save by few faithful souls whose love
blinded them to his sel6shness. One
should always reserve considerable
place in his affections for the town OF
which nc is resident. he should be in
terested In Its progress, fertile In e1pedi-
vinced that it Is the best town in the
whole world. That is the reason 80 many
of our Western towns have had such an
astonishing growth. The people want to
win material success, but they are vain
enough to know the town must make its
own way If they are to succeed.
The Ridgeway correspondent of the Co.

merchant of the city of Anderson, did,

residence of the BRIDES father, Howell
Edmunds, Esq, wed. her, greatly to the
dissatisfaction Of several gentlemen
known to the writer. No one blames Mr..
Robinson-in fact, the large majority

floral adornment passes description, the
wedding march being played by his sister
in.law, Miss Mae Edmunds, and by the
fact that the couple were the recipients Of
many costly, handsome and useful pres

sic worth, but for the feelings that prompt

host of well-wishers, results In an irrep.

will be missed not only in the home circle,
which she adorned with all the sweet
graces of her character, but by the poor
