valiant representative shall be dealt
with severely. Upon this point all
are agreed.
Ihe chestnut crop will be large this
year. The season for the maturing of
the burs has been very good and the
crop viii be larger than for number
OF years past. This edible nut is
found throughout the Allegheny
range of mountains and finds mar
ket in all English markets of the
world. The crop will be general this
year throughout the mountain dis
trlcts and many people will find an
opportunity of replenishing their
exchequer by the sale of the nut.
Strange to say the majority of peo-
pie do not read paper for its moral
reflections, profound views or display
of learning and philosophy. Instead
they peruse it for it's mention of
themselves, their neighbors and their
friends. Most men are more interest
ed in their fences, their horses and
their dogs, and especially in their
politics, than they are about the
angels in heaven. This must be right
or it would not be so.

On Saturday the grand jury made
their report to the court condemning
the jail at Oakland as an unfit prison.
The report says the jury found more
people in the Jail than it could accom-
modate and the number was only
fourteen. From sanitary standpoint
it is in deplorable condition, though
it might be better kept and cleaner.
The judges, Boyd and Sloan, re-
ceived the report and said they were
glad to notice that the county com
missioners had given assurances that
proper steps would be taken to carry
out the suggestions given in the charge
by the court on Monday last
The courthouse was packed with
people, who had gathered expecting
the report would be made and anx-
ious to know what it would contain.

4 BIGNIANY CASE.
Popular But Mistaken Notion About Dis
solution OF the Marriage Re

In the Circuit Court, Judge \. Hun
ter Boyd on the bench, the bigamv
case of Mrs. Jennie Griffith was dis
posed of in her favor. The States at
torney made motion to stet the case.
Judge Boyd said it was proper that
he should say the traverser's husband
had been convicted of a crime and
sent to the penitentiary, and she, act
ing under the honest but mistaken
belief that his conviction released her
from the marriage bond, had married
again. The Judge said he had talked
with number of intelligent persons
in the neighborhOOd who entertained
the same belief as Mrs. Griffith. and
who had told her she was free. Under
these circumstances he deemed it a
proper case to be stetted and the
States attorney had the consent of
court to do so. The court stated,
however, for the benefit of the pub
lie that the conviction of a husband
did not dissolve the marriage, and
that the second marriage was abso-
lutelY void. He said Mrs, Griffith
ought to take steps to have the sec
ond marriage judicially declared void.
This she must do before she can be
free.

The little crossroads village of Val
ley Point has been very lively this
week. A photograph gallery has
been located there in charge of a

boys around are bringing their girls
to have their 'purties' taken together
with one girls hand resting lovingly
on the back of the chair and the bov
looking like he was going to have a
tooth pulled or be electrocuted. Then
the German Medicine Company has
also invaded the town and has a cir

their parents Browns Argus.

THE EN-CONGREss MANS APPEAL


Maiden frank and FREQ,
Leave Tie tow n with me!
Leave the city for the " oodlands,
For the frlus of emerald corn,
For the mcad-, with running streamlsts
Singing praises to the morn;
For the hills that bound the distance,
Crowned with purple diadems;
For the sunshine on the dewdrops,
Decking trees and plants with gems
Maiden sweet and fair,
Young and dchonair.
Leave the city : smoke and hurry,
Never coasing toll and pain.
Noisy streets and noisome alleys.
Love Of gold and greed of gain,
Where the soul is cribbed and cabined,
Whore the heart has lack of room,
Where the ghosts of want and hunger
Stalk around in robes of gloom.
Maiden dear and free,
Nature here we see
Nature in her robes of beauty,
Glowing in her summer dress,
Free from artificial letters,
Free from sorrow and distress,
Soothcd by sound Of running waters,
tharincd - humming ef tie bees,
Let L. TEST within the shadows
OF tic grand prlmoval trees.

Choice Sayings.

Lost wealth may be replaced by indus
try; lost knowledge by study; lost healt h
by temperance or medicine-but lost time
Is gone forever.
For drunkenness, drink cold water; for
health, rise early; to be happy, be
honest; to please all, mind your own
business.
Set frog on golden chair, and be will
leap back into his dirty pool.
An investment Of knowledge always
pays the best interest.
The more we do the more we can do !;
the more busy we are, the more leisure we
have.
1t is only the empty minded who, hay
ing no resources of their own, busy
themselves witt the affairs of others.

Moral beauty.

Moral beauty cannot coexist with rad
ical defects OF principle, The character
that is unable to resist temptation, or I'M
willing TO stick faithfully to duty, is no
more truly beautiful, Whatever he It's gen
erous impulses or amiable TRAITS than
figure which cannot support its own
weight. Parts OF it may be admirable,
but, rs whole, as unity, 1t cannot be
rightly called a beautiful character, Tor it
lacks the founGation.-NewY York Ledger

IL. BARNES, dled Feb. IL, lS9s, aged years,
months.)
When the harvest moon was shining,
And the autumn winds blew cold,
And mystic hand was painting
Forest leaves In shades untold;
Then 1t was, As nature faded.
That cur little Ada bright
Dropped, then fell like Il sweet blossom
In the cold grave from our sight.
OH How drear is life around US
Since our darling baby died
Empty cradle, little dresses
Tearfuly are laid aside;
For she never more shall need them
Or our fond and loving care;
Angel forms do now attend her
In the city over there.
Could we but have seen her spirit
As 1t gained the glitterng strand,
Heard the rapturous song of welcome
From the bright immortal band,
All, mcthnks we'd cease from weeping,
And submissively would say:
blessed be the Lord who giycth;
Blessed lie who takes away"
She will never know the sorrow
OF life's dark and toiisome way,
Never feel the heavy burdens
We oft bear from day 10 day.
No, she was but sent to cheer US
For few short Years below;
Buddcd here, t. bloom in Heaven,
And with richer beauty glow
sweetest Ada; precious blossom
Though we miss thy form so fair,
ct We would not wish to call thee
Back to this cold world of care;
But if faithful to the Master
Till liie's closing hour shall come,
We shall meet thee, and forever
Dwell within the souls blest home.
Ellsworth, Feb, ls9s.
