We are of the opinion that Greenwood cannot be much of a business town if they cannot scare up a "bushel of pea-nhts." Of course it would be a dead loss to keep more than a jM)und on hand at one time, but they might have known that sooner or later the "peaiiot crowd" would visit Green­ wood as it has other neighboring towns and ask for peanuts in exchange for money. They pride themselves that they are not country greenhorns and know good bed springs when they see them, and are not so easily taken in by "Tom and Jerry" as to purchase their cheap affairs. We think that Green­ wood lias one or two that equal the "peanut crowd.*' We thought It a case •of highway robbery.

It ha* been our unpleasant tai almost every week for some time piist. to chronicle tlie death of some one residing in this vicinity. However, most of those whom we lia^Re men­ tioned as passing to tlie great beyond, have been those who had lived to rcacli "man's allotted time, three score years and ten--or nearly so. This week we are called noon, if we do our duty as a correspondent, to chronicle the demise of a young lady about seven­ teen years of age. Scarcely had the deceased. Miss Nellie Young, reached womanhood, ere her gentle spirit was called to its long home. Nellie was the eldest daughter of John L. Young, who formerly resided in this city, but is now living iu California. She had lost iter mother, who died of consump­ tion many years ago. that dread disease being hereditary in her family. Since her father has gone to the Golden State she has made her home in several places, iu this and other towns, always making friends wherever she lived. Some few mouths ago the disease, she had inherited began to show itself, compelling iter to reft^iin from her usual arocations and seek medical aid. Having no home here, she was kindly taken in and cared for by Mr. J. (>. Darrell and ills estimable wife who, as the terrible disease grew worse had an invalid to care for that required constant watchfulness, and' attention, such cases always being a great burden. Although far away from her father's home, her constant desir^ was to be near aud see once more.Nher eldest brother, Leonard, whom almost every one in this city re­ members as "Leu," He too was suffer­ ing with that fatal disease, consump­ tion, and, we understand, is but just alive, or was when last beard from. Nellie torgot her own pain and afflic­ tion*, or partially so. in brooding and sorrowing over th* fate of her beloved brother, wtiose every letter denoted that his health was failing fast. Last Friday morning at about six o'clock, the spirit of Nellie left its tenement of clay here below, and passed to that far oft country that mortal eys hath never seen, aud on Sunday last Iter re­ mains were laid beside those of her mother in the cemetery at Richmond, this county. Too mucli praise aud credit cannot be givmi Mr. and Mrs. Darrell for their extreme kindness to the liomeless one. All that loving y,hearts and tender hands could perform to alleviate her pain and suffering was done by theiu and outside friends. Nothing remained undone that was possible to do. no expense was spared that would aid in making the afflicted one more comfortable. For months Mrs. Darrell waited upon her every want and caring for and tending her both by day aud night, as if her own child. Surely the deceased was for tuuate iu falling into such worthy bauds, and Mr. Darrell and wife have the respect of this entire community for their kindness to one who was no kindred to them. Who will say they shall not be rewarded iu the^iiijAi for their kind aud chaiitable uctj MAKER. Shop op)Jostte Parker House. McHenry, * -/ Illinois*.
