McOmber, with whom he was associated In the mercantile business here spine 120 years ago. He came from Danville, Vt., to this county over forty years ago. conse-. queutly was one ot the earliest settlers In this section, and was a man highly respected by all who kuew him. For the past few years he has resided in Chicago, but that fell destroyer Con sumption having got a firm hold of him he gradually failed until death came as a relief from Ills sufferings.-- His remains were brought toGreen- wood, this county, by hi? daughter, aud deposited in the beautiful Ceme tery at that place beside his first wife, who preceded him several years ago. . - HISTORY repeats itself, so 'tis said, and so do human actions. When tiie woman of Scripture was brought up before the Master fo<* condemnation for her wrong doiog, she stood tremb ling with mortal fear, for the penalty which attached to errors of tiie nature of hers, was calculated to strike terror to anyone. But -after hearing the grievances of those who brought her and took up stones to execute judg ment, they were humiliated beyond degree by the words of the Master^ ilLet hi'm who is without sin cast the grst stone," made the accusers In turn tremble. The pointed and burning words sunk like iron in their souls and opened their minds'* eyes sufficiently to see the great blotch or spot that covered one-lialf the pupil, which had caused them to see only grievous errors in the vroman. So it is in these latter days of the nineteenth century. Tlitire are those that are always ready to take up stones to cast at other people« totally oblivious of the great moral fact that the same unerring law would stone tliem to death for errors of another kind, and possibly quite as grievous. This, too, by professors and moralists. It's not a mote but a beam that obscures their moral and religious vision. Take it out of thine own eye. If it be the fashion to strike straight home, let those who open the battle not grumble and growl if tfee flying debris strike them »lso.

Being opposed to the use of Paris green, he rigged up a large washboiler in his field, and hiring six men, ooHected the bugs, and soused them In boiling water. About two gallons were collectud, and by acci dent a piece of old sh rep-skin leather, used for liniug shoes, went into the mess. After the cooking had been go ing on for half an hour he was as tonished to find that the leather had changed its color to the richest dark crimson. Tills arousing his curiosity, he Inserted other materials, and ascer tained another peculiarity of the liquid. The muerial placed In it changed first to a dark brown, then a greenish hue, then pnra yellow, then light blue, changing to dark blue;thou light red. terminating iu the bril liant scarlet, which was the permanent color.

The blockade is complete. Railways are thorongly blockaded, the highways impassable, aud business of every kind almost entirely suspended. Now a "solitary horseman," here and there a leg-weary footman, may be seen wallowing through the drifts, but it is evidently the depth, rather than the length, or the road that both ers them. We learn that several trav eling men are sojourning Ia our little city, waiting as patiently as cimim- stancec will permit tor the breaking of the blockade. Among the snow-bound are Dr. Lorimer, * of Chicago, and States Attorney Ira R. Curtiss, of Marengo.

The Pleasant Valley school was sud denly closed by the burning of the school house ou Thursday night. We have not learned particulars but hear it Is attributed to all luoendiary. J. J. W.

Last Fall the two leading parties erected poles from which to float their streamers and flags. The Democrats went at theirs in the old fashioned way. Democracy was In its prinfe nnd raised a magnificent hickory 115 feet In height, while the Republicans reared a less pretending one. Of course, dnring the heat of the canvass, tiiese emblems were pointed at by some as a measure of the popular will But the Republicans ware locally and nationally victorious.

This much under our own observation, and if we read the signs *of the times ai-ight.this harmonious element Is not local in its character, neither is it to be of short duration, but that It is na tional and likely to be lasting, and that a reign of harmony has dawned upon us once more, and may the voice be choked of utterance that shall at tempt to destroy the desire on the part of the great mnss of our people, that all, without regard to race or color, without regard to nationality, witliortt regard to wealth or standing, shall be protected in all their rights.
