ON Friday morning last an atmos­ pheric phenomenon was visible, the like of which one may uot perhaps see again iu a life time. Four parahelia (sun dogs) were conspicuous, two of them were exceedingly brilliant, and at the same time, high up toward the zenith was a brilliant bow with its convex side toward the sun. displaying with vivid distinctness all the spectral tints of the brightest rainbow* The "oldest inhabitant" never had seen the like before, and many \y«.te the the­ ories advanced as to what it signified, some arguing that it foretold colder weather, others warmer, and a few that it was a beginning of Mother Shipton's prophesy that In eighteen hundred and eighty-nne The world to an end wilt su/ely come.

EDITOR,; PI.AISDEALER:--In looking over the .contents of the PLAIX&EALKR and seeing no notice of the sad event whieh changed Wauoonda an<l its sur­ roundings from the height of enjoy­ ment to that of deep gloo n or. Christ­ mas day, we thought to uoMr f»u sending a few particulars. Mrs. J. R. Wells, a lady universally loved and esteemed, passed In the short period of eight hours, from health and actiye life into the cold embrace of death. Mrs. Wells, at her death, was fifty-two years, seven montha and twenty-six davs old. Sho had been a citizen of Illinois rising forty-three .years, and a resident of Wancoiula twenty-eight. She leaves to mourn her great loss a deeply bereaved con­ sort, four children, an aged and infirm mother, a brother, two sisters and a large circle of relatives and friends. But we do not mourn as those who have no h>pe. Deceased had been an actlvelnember of the Baptist connec­ tion, for thirty-five years or n»Are: O. how she will be missed In the prayer circle, and in all the.gatherings of the church. How vacant and cheerless will be that ouee happy home for her dear hereavei f#winy. Her smiles, kind words and loving deeds will not be there. Wancoidawill miss her, es­ pecially the poor and needy, the sick and afflicted. Sadly will they mourn the loss of her heart aud hand of Char­ ity. Mrs. Wells was uncommonly active through Christmas week, but more es- j pecially on Friday. She overworked j her physical And mental powers in se­ lecting and preparing presents to be placed on the tree at the Baptist Chapel, and for the entertainment of a family gatheiiug on the following day. Site had selected, marked and sent up one i?:stalment of gifts. Sub­ sequently she got together another basket.sent them to the church, pro­ posing to jjo and mark them In tin- evening. At the proper ciiue she dressed and seated herself by Che stove saying to her escort. "Go up and attend to those unmarked presents, I do uot feel able to go." She then removed her bonnet aud other apparel, care­ fully puttiug them in their proper places, returned to the sitting room, threw herself on the lounge, and said, "You can go for the doctor as soon as you desire." She next gave orders lliat.a fire be kindled iu the parlor for her daughter and babe, and that sup­ per he prepared for her son, who was momentarily expected from Chicago, aud then said, "I am going." There were two |hysicians iu utteudauce. who pronounced her case that of a|M>- plexy. COM. NUNQA.

Then they went back to the hall and enjoyed the rest of the night' in fighting the cocks aud Lettirtg large amounts of money on theui. The whole gang left the hall about four o'clock the following morning, aud took the 5:13 train home for Chicago, but did not carry as many birds back as they did in coming.
