Y. DROWNED. Last Friday Mrs. Vhiimarsh, of Crow, had gone to Republican City to meet her husband who was returning from a visit in Iowa, taking a small child with her but on arriving at the city she found that her husband had already left for home. When she returned to Crow creek in tlio evening the water, was over tho bridge which was partly-washed away.

Thinking all was right she attempted tc cross, when the team and wagon was swept down the stream. The box was floa'eJoff the wagon with iis occupants, who remained in it until it struck the bank, throwing them into the water. A colored man was on the bank of the stream chopping wood, to whom she cried to save her babe, but losing his presenco of mind or fearing to go into the water, he allowed them to drown. The woman was found about 100 rods below tho bridge but ai. last account the child had not been found.

The team became entangled in the harness and after floating some distance was also drowned. Phillipsburg Herald. H. T.3I00RE, Dealer In HARDWARE, S'i 9VJ5S, BARRED WIRE. WAGGON and CARRIAGE Material Nebr.

If Cleveland docs not let up on the letter writing business, ho will prove Another Hancock on Democrat hands. The Kansas solons have finished iheir labors, and retnrned to the bosom of their constituents, and once more all is soreiw. The Oberlin Eye issued an extra edition last week, which contained a well written article on Obcrlin's prosperity and future greatness. In such an hour as ye wot not my bo-loved Republican office holder, the mandate will go forth "get tho up and git," and you bet you'll git. Colonel Frank James msdecided, to permanently locate in old Missouri.

Minnesota had a sort of a hankering after the and would have located him at a place called Stillwater, but Governor Marmaduke could'nt possibly, part with such a distinguished citizen. GONE IN THE FLOOD. Wednesday morning about 2 o'clock, the ice jam above the dam on the river gave way and th immense body of ice swept Olmstead's mill dam down stream. Tho entire dam gave way and precipitated itself against tho wagon bridge just below, carrying all of that structure away, with the exception of one span on the north end, and breaking down the braces of that upon tho west side. Early in tho morning parties went down tho river and found it lodged near the mouth of Hope Creek, where the ice was gorged.

The bridge is almost a total wreck, and scarcely anything but a few plank can be used again. The loss of the mill dam is a hard blow to Mr. Olm-stead. The west bridge remains yet in good shape. The water in the river has fallen several feet, and the ice blockade nearly broken up.

Tho water on the bottom has subsided and traveling upon that road is all right once more. Or. leans Press. THE GOOD OLD-TIMES HUMBUG. "I guess those farmers that are groaning about low prices and high taxes, and who are longing for the good old times, don't remember much about the good old times," said a well-known Orange county farmer of this town.

"I caa remember when wo used to our grain, butter, pork and eggs all tho way to Newburg, going one day and coming back tho next. We. generally got 15 cents a bushel for oats, and 10 ccuts a pound for butter. Seventy-live cents a bushel for wheat was a fancy price. If we got 0 or 8 cents a dozen for eggs, we thought we were doing well.

Nice corn fed pork, dressed, we carried to mar-jeet for $2 a hundred. The butter we put on the market iu those days, was the genuine Ortange county article, yellow as gold and hard as a walnut. I have sold tubful after tubful of butter at 10 cents a nound. that would net mo 75 cents easy if I had it or any like it to sell now. That was before tho Erie railway came through hero and put us' up to Helling our milk instead of making it in to butter.

We didn't have any lime- kept eggs to sell in those days, cither As for taxes, I paid $100 for my farm of 100 acres when I was getting 10 cents a pound for butter. On the same farm now I pay $42.50, and I have sold- my dairy of milk for what is equal to moro than three times 10 cents a pound for butter. There is a good deal of hui bug iu this -mourning after the good old days, and I know it. Goshen (New Yprk) Letter. Now Fqr Spring "Wor k.
