Fortune Found in Natural Spring
Odd Fellows-General.


Richfeld, Jan. 25.-Messrs. w. ]
Bean, Samuel C. Clark and Jacob Lau
! ritZen have undoubtedly found a for
, tune by digging out natural spring
! that will enlarge the borders of th'
town. Richfield is watered by a luke
warm spring that comes out of th'
! mountain west of town. But for thi.
spring Richfeld could not exist. The
new spring is situated only a shor
! distance from the old and is comDar
atively small, but 1t will undoubtedly
add 80 more homes TO the place, as i
viii be capable Of watering an add
! tiOnal tier of blocks to the northern
part of town. The lucky men form
perhaps, the happiest trio in Richfield
! Mr.. H. p. Miller believed some years
ago that a spring could be brought out
| in this same locality. He worked at II
some, satisfied himself that water was
there but for want of means and ss-
sistance he gave it up, and il seems
that no one else had any faith in the
scheme before now. 1t may prove &c
be q bonanza.

About so Odd Fellows with their friends
were given a reception at the restaur-
ant
Mr.. o. A. Andelin exhumed the bodies
of two of his children, the other day,
who had been buried upwards of 20
years. His object was to remove the
remains to the new cemetery. Peeping
into the collins he was surprised to
find one of the bodies in good condition,
the features being full, the cerements
clinging close to the body, but still in
tact He thinks that the cause of the
bodies keeping so well is the mois-
tureless condition of the soil of the
cemetery, and ne accounts for one
being in a better condition than the
other by the fact of its having been
buried in double coffin, while the cof-
nm d the OIner was Dut single.
The farmers are going to meet next
Tuesday evening for the purpose of
considering the building of a reservoir
on the Sewer river. The crying need
of the Sewer valley is more water. and
if the large amount of that element
which runs to waste in the early part
of the year could be stored in reser-
voirs it would be the making of thou
sands of dollars annually to this re-
gion. It is hoped that the farmers will
not be penny wise and pound foolish
in this matter, as foreign companies
are likely to make the necessary reser-
voirs and, by patent, keep the owners
of the land in everlasting vassalage.
There have been two deaths here
ease made its appearance here, but
strict quarantining has prevented
spreading. and at present there are no
cases in Town.
President Willis Z. Robinson of
Wayne county has a curiosity. 1t is
a scorpion measuring six inches in
length. But the chief curiosity about
it is that it has been kept a prisoner
in a glass for five months without
food or drink. and is as lively and
evinces as much anxiety for liberty
now as at the beginning Of it's i'm
prisonment. Indeed, the beginning of
its Imprisonment is not known by its
owner, as it was already housed in the
glass cage when presented by a friend
five months ago.
The four young men of Elsinore
charged with cattle stealing were dis
charged in court for want of evidence
against them.
