JJ- was born in Kinross shitre Scotland. In April. 1790. Emigrating to Amer­ ica in 1S50 he became an inmate of the family of Wm. Stewart, where he had ever since resided. Aud at the end ef thirty years Lord's day. the 7th, ho w»s buried l:i Prairie Grove Cemetery, Rev. Joel Wheeler officiating on that occasion. He was not a relative of the Stewarts, but ever enjoyed the hospi­ tality and respect of a friend. Learn­ ing this fact we were much exercised in feeling over the benefaction and patience which must iiave character­ ized the many and thronging events of so long a period. We were indeed struck with thejpraiseworthy example imposed on all who may by this pro­ longed kindness bo apprised, of the many opportunities for usefulmisr^to society. The unpretentious quie\ ac­ companying the generosity of this no­ ble family, betrays the origin of au ex­ hibition of excellence for a whole gen- geration which can only be expressed In words like the following: MLet not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth, that lu-as-uiuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done H unto me." .

The other victims are First National Bank, Mrs. White,$100; W F. Hovey, *300; and Mr. D. Reynold/ $300 or 9400.

Ford, we understand, was in daily expectation of a large pension, and a party who knows hini well says he would have stralghrened these matters all out. and nobody would have known lie had ovet; forged a note, But^thc matter cain* to a head hoouer than he expected.-- Belvidere Standcurd. fc I • We are In receipt of the initial nunp berof the Chicago Weekly Rural which has beeu enlarged to nearly double its former size, and which Is christened 7 he Western Rural and American Stockman.

It la to the interest of every farmer and businessman to make it a success. < Mr. Allen, formerly Principal of our public school, has moved to Winthorp, Iowa, where he becomes pastor of a Baptist church. Rev. Graver C. Clark was In attend­ ance on the Methodist Episcopal con­ ference in Chicago last week. We hope he will return to Richmond another year. Dr. E. R.

There are Iu this vicinity some fields of corn that were ripe before tlie frost struck them, and from these fields an abund a nee of good seed might be obtained to supply those less fortunate with seed for next year. It should be done. Seed corn will be sura to bring a good price next season. * The farmers seem to be "catching on" to the Market Fair enterprise with apical of Interest. Almost every one talked to. so far. says he will have some thing on hand for sale, the 17th. Keep the ball rolling. A number of noted horse buyers have been written to, and are expected to be on baud with plenty of Greenbacks. There can be no ques­ tion of sales for all cattle, sheep or hogs brought to the fair. There will be auctions en the grounds--lots of them. An entire household outfit will come under the hammer that day--it is already advertised. Unless sppear- a noes are mighty deceiving, Oct. 17th will be a big day for Richmond. Come and see tiie crowd and buy and sell yourself rich. Tlie Richmond Cornet Band played at the G. A. R. entertainment at Hebron last Saturday night and were treated "right royally." as we are in­ formed. A cltixen of Hebron and mem­ ber of the Post infornrs us that the boys won golden opinions by. their flue playing. The entertaiument as a whole was a decided suooess. aud netted some •60 for the soldiers monument fund. The readings by Mrs. Coggin are very highly spoken of. The bed quilt was won by a young man who lives with Mr. S, Rotnour. Tlie basket lunciies gave a vast amount of amusement to ill oonoerned. We learn that the sol­ diers' monument for the Hebron ceme­ tery is expected from Chicago very soon, and the dedication ceremonies are to be on an elaborate scsle. We have always considered it the greatest triumph of a writer to be able to oonvey to the mind of his reader just exactly what he means--just ex­ actly the Idea that la in Ills own mind when he writes. It is futiguing to read msuy writers, to whom considerable eminence is accorded, because of tlie obscure phraseology In which their thoughts are clothed. In these days or praotloal, incisive thought and action, few will take the trouble to sift a few grshts of thought from a bushel of wordy chaff. But when we consider the obscurity of style of many men and women who make writing a profession it should lead us to look with charity upon the mistakes of the unskilled tyros who work for the press as local correspondents. It seldom happens that the editor of the paper has time to re-write, or even correct, the gram­ mar of his local correspondents whose want of knowledge of syntax should not weigh too heavily against their aeal to furnish the news. A genuine meerschaum pipe lias long been one of the tilings we have desired. We have always intended to possess one just as soon as wc became wealthy, but the Hif* upon which possession was predicted has ever been very Incon­ veniently in tlie way. The thought of possible future ownership of such a treasure lias, however, been s comfort and a solace. Bufc now the anticipation of years is realised. The vulgar clay pipe, the best that can be afforded on the salary of a newspaper correspond­ ent. is relegsted to the obscurity of an empty cigar box. Tlie meerschaum lies in state beside a package of .frag­ rant "Durham," surrounded by manu­ scripts, letters, pencils and pen*.
