The Klgln leader ha* the following In relation to. the murder which w» reported on our streets on Friday last: -Win. Stewart is a bachelor, aged about thirty-live years. He lived two mile* this side of Algonquin on his farm. Hi* mother and two sisters there reside. Last week he went to Chicago and was supposed to have col­ lected monies due himself and several of his neighbors for raillc shipped to that place. Tuesday he returned by Way of Nun- da. Getting off tho train at that plsce for the purpose of indulging In a glass of beer he tarrWl too long and the train departed without hint. Soon after he started on foot tor bis home. Upon leaving it was noticed that be was somewhat un<fer the influence of liquor, hut not to a disabling extent. He sonn accomplished the distance which lay between him and Algonquin, Arriving at that place he was fer­ ried across the river by two men. Mine Benthusen and Albert Tubbs. He started for his home,but becom­ ing lost, made his way to a neighbor­ ing farm house, where he procured a lantern and set off down the railroad track. This was^tlre last account that can bo learned of him. Some papers of the kind he is in the habit of i-eadlng were found at a gate opening from the track Into one of his fields. A special dispatch to the Chicago papers of this morning states that his body was recovered from the river, with marks of a crushing blow *upon the head. Also that two young men had been arrested, This is denied by a special telegram from thnt place. Foul play is strongly Rusplcioned, but the body has not been recovered nor has any other favts been olicited save those given above. |&»The Postmaster General has Issued the following under date of April 21.1881: On and after .Time 1, 1881. no print­ ing or writing will be permitted upon the addresR side of postal cards, except that imprinted thereon at the manu­ factory. and such as may be necessary for the proper direction of the saine. All postal cards bearing any other writing upon the address side are de­ clared. unmailable. and must be re­ turned to the Render by the postmaster at the office where they may be mailed Such cards may be treated as "spoiled," and redeemed hv any postmaster upon application of the holder, as prescribed In section 171, of the postal laws and regulations. GREENWOOD TCDITOK PLAINOEALER:--John Sev­ ern, a farmer living about two mile* south east of till* village, had hit stable burned up at mid-day. The. facts are those as near as we can learn. On Friday last, Mr. Severn left home in the morning. leaving no one at home but his wife. She says that she went to the stable abeut noon and fed the horse and hog, and everything ap­ peared to be all right. She went to the house and in about ten minutes after­ wards saw the stable all ablasq. She ran to the stable and went in andsiic* oeeded in getting the horse out. but not until her clothing took lire, but she succeeded in extinguishing it before much injury was done to her person. The property that was burned up with the stable consisted of one hog, one set double harness, ft few chickens, and some farming tools. And how the Are originated Is a great mystery, as there was no tire nearer than the house that any one knows of.

Smith, aged 47 years. 89*The following is a very plaus­ ible objection to further legislation on the temperance question. It occurs in one of Mr. J. R. Marshal's letters from '8prfngfie!d: The opponents of further temperance legislation in this Assembly agree, •with some reason, that the present -tlram shop act is all. and more than publfc opinion will hack np They say that it is now difficult to get j uries orJustice*, or grand Juries to convict a man for liquor selling, and until pub­ lic opinion is educated np to the pres- Iftws, there Is Do>need for further en­ actments. We have too much legislation on this subject, and entirely teo little •flort to enforce that we have. Let us try thoroughly what we have before we make other experiments.

Clilton:-- WJIKREAS, Pursuant to a decree of the Great Architect of the Universe, our worthy brother. Tfiomas J. Clifton, has been taken from UP by that power to which, sooner or later, all mint yield (•uhmieslon, having departed this jiff on the evening of MAI*C!I 30th, 1881; thus bringing forcibly to our minds that to-day man puts forth the tender leaves of hope and in the pride of his strength bears his blushing honors thick upon him, and while we think his usefulness and greatness still aspir­ ing, he falls like autumn leaves to en­ rich our mother earth. Therefore, by tlie Good Samaritan Lodge No. 136, A. F. & A. M., in regular communica­ tion duly assembled, be it Resolved. That in the death of Brother Thomas J. Clifton, this lodge has lost one of its most efficient and valued members, and Masonic Frater­ nity throughout the whole world have one less tried and tnisty friend on whose fidelity they could rely, whose attentive ear and generous heart were ever ready to listen to a Brother's sor­ row or contribute to his relief. Re»olved. That the widowed wife and orphaned child of our late brother have our most heartfelt sympathy In their bereavement; while we feel that words of ours are too weak to express the promptings of our hearts, we can only unite our* tears of grief with theirs, feeling while they have lost a most kind husband and affectionate father, we have lost a beloved friend and brother, and we do most devoutly ask that He who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb, may give to them the assurance that Hedoeth ail things well. hesolved. That onr lodge room be draped in suitable emblems of mourn­ ing for the spice of sixty days. Fur ther, that these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of this lodge and preserved as a token of respect and e»ti*era for our departed brother, also that they be published in the Weekly Herald. and a copy of the same pre' seuted to his family.
