Ere they knew that lite was sweet ;
And, indeed, I wonder whether,
If we reckon every birth.
And bring such a flock together,
There is room for them on earth ? '
"Who will. wash their smiling faces?
Who their saucy ears will box? ...
Who will dress them, and caress them?
Who will darn their little socks?
Where aie arms enough to hold lliem?

Naked some bedaubed with paint.

Peruvian Syrup.
Brooks, 5Ie., Sept. 7, 1870.
Dear Sir From early youth I was in
feeble health, troubled with humor in my
blood, weakness and debility of the system
generally ; was unable to labor mneli, and
only at some light business, and then only
with great camion. Seven years ago the
past spring, I had several attacks of diph
theria which lelt my limbs paralyzed and
useless, so I was unable to walk or even sit
np. Noticing ttie advertisement ot Peru
vian Syrup, I concluded to give it a trial,
aud to my great joy soon found my health
improving. I continued tho use of the
Syrup until three bottles had been used,
and was restored to complete health, and
liave remained so to this day. I attribute
my present health entirely to thse oli
Peruvian Syrup, and hold it in high esti
mation. I cannot speak too highly in its
praise. I have1 in several cases recom
mended it in cases similar to my own with
the same good results. Your truly,-
jllly CHARLS3- E. PEARCTi V
Is Your ure Worth 10 rente. -
Sickness prevails everywhere, tind every
body complains of some disease daring their
life. When sick, the object is to get well ;
now to say plainly that no person in this
world that is suffering witlr Dyspepsia,
Liver Complaint and its effects, such as In
digestion, Costiveness, Sick Headache, Sour
Stomach, Heart Burn, palpitation' of the
Heart, Depressed Spirits, Biliousness, etc-
can take Green's August Flower without?
getting relief and cure. If you doubt this,
go to yonr Druggist and get a sample bot
tle for 10 cents and try it. Regular size
75 cents. Two doses will relieve you. , L

December next. The" citizens" have sub--scribed,
considerable stock, although the'
agent, Mr. J. Wassom, has not as yet put;
forth much effort to obtain stock becats
ol not being supplied wjth, the proper books.
Tlie books are now inhls possession and?
he will immediately, commence' canvass-'
Ing for aid. Mf. David Smith antL William . -Feebler
have agreed to grade the tceeS ,

cr energetic farmers will do likewise. . -
Our citizens who staid at home, with.'
quite a crowd from the countrj-, approprl-'
atelj' cclebratetl the nattbh's hlrtlalay with'
interest. Mr. Clifford Dunham orated in'
eulogistic manner of our glorioU3" nation to .
a crowded street. Mr. C. B. Montague'
read the Declaration of Independence In a'
clear, forcible manner. Mr. J. L. Cowan'
acted as Chairman ot tlie meeting, and a!nV
made some very forcible remarks. Mr. J,
O. Roland acted as Marshal, while ther
Lebanon Brass Band won Id at intervals' -give
us some of the choicest national airs. .'
We felt that although 101 years have elaps
ed since the first celebration of American'
Independence, yet we are as zealously at-J
tached to the country as then. A cons pic-"
uous banner was stretched across Main
street, and directly on one side was erected '
a stand ot sufficient height so that tlie seve
ral speakers could be dtstltictiy seen and'
Iieard by the entire assembly.- MV.I.ErvIn'
acted as gunner, Imvlng obtained" ah old '
cannon, and at intervals Ac Wotild firo off
his battery, having early in the day Hred'
101 shots in memory of the years of ourV
Govern mciit. .-.
Considering it was an impromptu affair,- .
our celebration to-day is considered' to have-'
been tlie best for years past. " r r

From PrxE Creek. From a private let--ter
dated Pinecreek, W. T.; June 2Ov we"
are permitted to extract as follows ;: "My--
sell and three other men were Camped in a
new valley twenty-five miles north of thir
place, in the timber1 On a small creek, on
the 24th, when a friendly Indian, very
much excited, came and told us a than liatl1 -been
killed on Pine creek. I did not cred-
it the news, but still I started for. home.- -over
another route leading away from tlie
Indians, reaching, here all right about 6
o'clock in the evening. I found the dtU
zens fortified one mile from my place;- '
Loui, a Cotir d'Alche Indian, had just ar- -rived
with Bill 'Alklre'a horsey Which he
had taken from an Indian.-this latter In' . '
dian saying he liad killed man .who hat1
fired upon litm and another Indian ; in re
turning the fire the white man was kUledr
and the Indian took the horse. Knowing
the horse, I and A. G. Queener and the'
Indian Lotii, started for the house ot Uncle
John Ritchie, one and a half miles distant.
Arriving at the house, I went in and found?
Ritchie lying just inside his own door, tlie'
door being partly open, shot ' directly
through the center of trie breast' ;; lie had1
also been struck over the right eye With'1 .
the poll of an ax and the ax left lying at
his feet with some of deceased's gray hairs'
still clinging to it. Deceased war an old'
bachelor about 68 years of age. ' We then' '
took the wagon and harness belonging to'
deceased, and took tho body to the tort,- -burying
him the next day a decently as- .
we could. - The. friendly, Indians say there'
is no danger except from straggling rene--
gades.' Tlie ' nehibors generally ' are' iti' !
foitification. The greatest difficulty at''"
presentls a lack of guns and ammunition.- '
Times, If it had not been for the Indian
scare would have been g$d. Emigration1
was pouring in, but that is all jstopped.-,
Tlie crop prospect is excellent. ; .
