wood left over. One Sunday evening
As the owner Of the spring was at

Y. B. unannounced bolted into the
dining room and hot as pepper in an
angry tone complained that when he
had killed hogs he left wood at the
spring which had disappeared. and
intimated that said owner knew

Then the owner said to V. B.:

THE NEWBERRY OF THE
DAYS THAT ARE PAST.
THE SWEET MEMORIES OF
THE LONG AGO.
An Interesting Letter From Former
Newberrian, Now Living in the
Lone Star State.

oH. the Gays gone Oy! Oh. the Gays
gone by!
The apples in the orchard and the
pathway through the rye,
The chirrup of the robin and the
whistle of the quail,
AS he piped across the meadows as
sweet as any nightingale:
When the bloom was on the clover
and the blue was in the sky,
And my happy heart brimmed over
in the days gone by.
Oh. the days gone by! Oh, the days
gone by!
The rus;ng of the laughing lip, the
lustre Of the eye:
And the fitting snipe stood fearless
of the truant's wayward cry,
And the splashing Of the swimmer
in the days gone by;
When life was like a story. holding
neither sob nor sigh,
In the golden, olden glory of the
days gone by"
To me. turning to Newberry is fac
ing the sunshine.
In my last letter mention was made
of Mrs. Renwick, the daughter of
John Toland. I remember going ON
visit with my father to John To-
lands, and that his home was a cool,
pleasant. shady place He was in
many respects a peculiar man. He
was thrifty, upright, intelligent,
prosperous and canny man, with the
characteristics of his Scotch-Irish.
Ihey raised fine sons, fine daughters,
rs<'tStts:s'Ee> ~saad people.
Mrs. Ioland, who was Spence. was
a woman of vigorous common sense
and amiability. Dr. Hugh Toland
I remember we'll. He set a broken
arm for me, and vaccinated me in
IS4o. He was a most eminent sur-
geon. He moved to Columbia, and
thence to California. He had
striking face and sparkling dark eyes.
His practice was immense. He said
to that eminent physician and cul-
tured Christian gentleman, DR.. O. B.
Mayer, that he wanted to die with
the harness on. He had his wish,
as he was struck down with apo
plexy and never spoke Another SON,
John, was smart, witty fellow and
loved dram. He had not been
heard from in long while when, at
the beginning of the Civil war, he
came back and joined Capt. Hunts
company and made a good soldier.
At the close of the war he return
ed to his wife and three children in
Wisconsin. OF the daughters were
Mrs. Mary Renwick and Mrs. Malin-
da Cameron. James Cameron was
mild. pleasant gentleman. Another
married T. J. Price, who had push
and energy in him.
Among one of Toland's peculiar
tiles was that, when addressing any
one, he always called him friend"
saw him once crossing the piazza
of Holnan's store i'll his lirnping
gait with his saddle bags on his arm.
William Robertson, clerk for Hol-
man, an intelligent young man but
rather wild Ca brother of that good
man and physician. DR.. w. F. Rob-
ertson). becoming offended at To-
land, threatened to strike him. The
old man. looking fearlessly in his
eyes, said:
what, Friend Robertson! Strike
an old man like Johnny Toland, full
O. days!'
Robertson struck not.

Senator Hoar's Condition.
SO long,
7. NJ. Crosson.

Worcester. Mass, August 2o.-The
condition of Senator Hoar was prac-
tically unchanged today. No formal
bulletin was issued from the senator's
home, but is was reported that he was
cheerful, and had taken nourishment.

ton Nance applied to him for a loan.
Toland replied:
"Friend Nance. give me ten per
cent. and your daddy and auld Tom
Pratt for security and YOU can hiv'
the minney"
Another peculiarly he had when
little 'tidivated" was to clinch his
assertions with scripture. He re-
minded me of Burns preacher:
EN- ministers haze been kenn'd
In holy rapture,
ArouSing Wild at times to vend
An nail't wi scripture
Whiskey excites the emotions and
fills some men with religious fervor
and holy worldliness, and they be-
lieve they are floating heavenward On
their own oratory. Toland was an
honest and good man and useful citi-
zen.
There was a country store in the
neighborhood, kept by Huston, whose
son James once lived in the village.
AS usual. whiskey was on tap. On
Saturdays the hard working, clean
living neighbors would assemble, be
sociable and pleasant and discuss
neigborhood news and indulge in the
common sports of the day-such as
long bullets, shooting matches, town
ball. ETC. Toland and his nephew
Jimmy, the blacksmith, are here.
When Jimmy was happy and filled
with whiskey he had an 1rishman's
contempt for subterfuge, as we'll as
a birthright joy in the breaking
of heads. On such an occasion he
would drink this toast to his
uncle:
Here's short shoes and corns upon
your toes,
\ cob-web pair of breeches, and por-
cupine clothes:
No two-ways Sally over the water
Joone Toland is my dear rich uncle
And he's roarer from HIS turnip
patch.'
In the good old times there were
three men, honest, hearty, intelligent
and clean in thought and speech
Williams Welch, Isaac Kellar and
Graves opod-?rar-,-ho rcEs inclined
to the Botanic system of medicine
but not to that of the old quack

virtue consisting in its being killed in

Of Williams Welch are vivid. I can
shut my eyes and see him as he was
fifty years ago. with a pleasant, smil-
ing face, and with fund full of good
humor
About this time a peddler passed
through selling - little pamphlet pro-
claiming the wondrous curative pro-
perties of lobelia, and teaching every
one to be his own doctor. These
three gentlemen invested and pro-
ceeded to practice. Mr., Welch re-
ported his experience. His first and
only case was that of an old lady
who had lived long on the banks of
Beaver Dam creek and had turned
almost green from malaria After
diagnosing the case he drenched her
with storing decoction of lobelia. The
lobelia attended to business strictly.
She became unconscious and timber
as a rag. She had what the root
doctors called the "alarums," and
sure enough she had them, and it was
thought she was in articulo mortis.
