"Dphe-memorj of Bro. Geo. Mc
Knight, by Mrs. W. J. Plyuiale, N.
G. of the Ruth Rebekai Degree Lodge,
No 4, 1.,0. 0. F.:
By a reystitfiaTnmons from the in
visible Guardian of the great unknown,
our well beloved brother, Geo. Mo
Knight, has passed from our midst,
and taken the Jast degree in the Su
preme Lodge above and tis- meet that
we pay this tribute of respect to the-BeJnry1flTe'iJ5t-Br"othe
In the time that he has been work
ing with us in this degree he has en
deared himself to us by the strongest
ties of personal friendship,and strength
ened the golden links of the mystic
chain which binds us togetber in this
society.
His life has been living exemplifi
cation of the sublime teachings of Odd
Fellowship; and in the heart of each
member he leaves a monument io his
memory, more enduring than the pur
est 6lab of fipotless marble, and while
time, the great healer, scatters beauti
ful flowers over the new made grave of
our departed brother, let us cherish his
memory and contemplate in chastened
sorrow the grandeur of his life, which
has been a beautiful illustration of the
imperishable tenets of our Order.
Each member should feel that our
Brother has passed the invisible door
that we boon all must signal, and been
recognized by the test that will be re
quired of us when wo. too Rhall stand 1
before the Grand Master of the uni-
verse, and let this be another admoni
tion to 'tis -to live in the highest sense
in accordance with the sublime teach
ings of our Order, and may we see, in
our brother's death but a broken link
in the golden chain of Odd Fellowship
that should be welded again in the
workshop of the Eternal and that we
tjo are only waiting till the angels
open wide the mystic doors. But
with us still we have an Odd Fellow's
"'- - ,", ."
widow and orphan, and wJiile .we offer 1
them in personal friendship our most
sincere sympathy and condolence in
this dark hour .of aifliction there be
reavement has touched a tender chord
in the great heart of Odd Fellowship.
xhat beats respoiuive to their own and
circles around them the protecting
chain of Friendship, Love and Troth,
whose electric links bind us together
in the mystic ties of this degree.
Our lamented brother needs no high
er eulogy than that he lived in all the
relations of life an Odd Fellow in its
purest, truest sense, and while we bow
in submission "to the Divine mandate
that has summoned our brother to the
presence ot the bupreme ituler we
whisper sadly, kind husband and father,
faithful friend and brother, and ex
alted Odd Fellow, a last earthly fare
well; and while nature clothes your
last resting place in its choicest ver
dure and beauty, may the whispering
winds and onoaning pines chant your
requium.

There is really no necessity for ones'
taking cold, nor even any occasion for
it, if a New York medical man .canibe
believed. He says that "coldtaking
is simply the result of a sufficient ini
iirrssion of cold to reduce the vital
energv of nerve-centres presiding over
the functions of special organs." That's
all there is to it. When you begin to
sneeze and cough, all you have to do is
to enlarge the vita' energy of nerve
centres.. A man must be idiotic .or
else the disciple of pure cussedness if
ho will catch cold after this. I'Bost-Post."

As for furming, little in this vicinity

The Lady Alice sat in her boudoir,
enrobed in a bright brocade .of a jar
diniere pattern. She was waiting for
the appearance of her lover, Augustus
Fitznoodle. The bell rings. Lady
Alice starts from her chair, presses
her hands to her heart, and murmurs,
"Tis he. He conies; he comes." She
would have said a great .deal more if
her false teeth hadn't droned down
ward and compelled her tshut her
mouth. f
ihe servant enters, tic mates a
.bow, and says: ""A gentleman awaits
your pleasure."
Lady Alice, having stuck the teeth
to her upper jaw with her brother
Jim's last cud of chewing gum, re
plies: "Let him enter.'"
The door flies open and a tall form
appears. It rushes forward. Lady
Alice shudders and gasps: "Tis not
Augustus."
The form bows low and the lips
speak: "Fair .lady, the famo of your
beauty resounds throughout the land,
and I have traveled many miles and
from distant countries to gaze upon
your face and inform your Jadyship
that I am agent for the 'best .corn ex

Up fb last night the weather was fine
and farmers could work right along,
but alas, i a big snow, to the depth of
5 inches now covers the earth and
work will have to be suspended. No
more will the old settlers refer, with
pride, to the hard winter of '62, but
will have now to tell this, ''that this
ere winter beats the hull on them."
Who was it that said "Winter still

grow, the sun shine
so that stock may again look with
pride on mother earth as it gaily stands
around to nip the tender gras and
make its sides stick out with fatness.
Except those sheep that were lost in
the first snow storm, our stock has not
suffered touch, still many have tussles
in trying to keep body and "wind
together. Feed is holding out well,
that much- will be like the transient
dew in a short time,
Up to this time none of the miners
have made any clean up, but all areas
busy as bees and are moving more
than a usual amount of dirt, and by
their prospects, they all expect a big
clean up.
Commend me to to tho farmers of
our valley for push a head not one
but what is putting forth the best
licks of his life in order toget his crops
in. As for good plowing I have not
seen its equal since I am in the State;
it no doubt is owing to tho much freez
ing which makes the ground so mellow,
and I predict if we have a' good season
the best crops this year that have been
raised since I am in the country, and
hope ul.so that a market can be had for
the products, which also calls to mind
the C. C. wagon road project. So as
soon as the crops of grain are in let
the farmers and everybody else bestir
I themselves and work together with
I "ii'bt and main and rest not until
road is built
the most neei"
in tthe -enterprise and t
plan. A free road could be built, but
could it be kept in lepairl I think
a stock road the most equitable, be
cause coupons could be issued to each
stockholder and those passing over the
road that are not subscribers would
wave tp pay a toll, which would keep
the road in repair. At any rate let
there be some plan agreed on by a com
mittee from the three counties and
then to work. While the road ex
cibeme&t jvas at its height a few
months ago the matrimonial market
was looking up, but since then it has
gone down, fox many a bachelor con
templated possible matrimony in an
ticipation of a good produce market,
and even your correspondent contem
plated such an allowance, but has now
.deferred the matter till there is some
tangible prospect of making a support
for one.
Leap year is going along placidly,
except a little .arty in which a man
and wife had a fight, but this is noth
ing new in married life and I should
not have mentioned it except to show
that we bachelors hear the ills we have
and 'keep out of reach of womaiiV
scratch. Have not yet been able to
get that "jiew departure trial."
There is no very serious case of
sickness, except colds in great profu
sion, and of the worst kind as I can
testify.
The roads were getting pretty good
before tho snow but now well -never
mind, for at tho school meeting we
were elected an officer, and already
had a b;g office and still we wish the
weather would get good and something
transpire, that will be nevs, for now
it is scarce, so good bye.
Many persons know it but -somo do
not, that a prettv and easily crown
window plant may be obtained by
soaking round piece of coarse sponge
in warm water until it is thoroughly
expanded. After squeezing it about
half dry, place in th .openings millet
and clover, and barley grass seeds, rice
and oats. Hang the sponge in a win
dow where the sun shines a part of
the day, and sprinkle it lightly with
water every morning for a week. Soon
tender leaves will shoot .out, and grow
ins rapidlv, will form a drooping mass
of living green. If regularly sprinkled,
it will later 'be dotted with the blossoms
I of the -clover.

"Yes." I said with that interested
inflection that asks for more. "And
what church did you attend?"
"Which do you guess!" he asked.
"Some union mission church," I
hazar led.
"No," he said, "I don't like to run
on these .branch roads very much. I
don't often go to church, and when I
do, I want to run on .the main line,
where vour run is regular, and you go
on schedule time and don't have to
wait on connections. I don't like to
lun on connections. Good enough,
but I .d-n't like it."
"Episcopal:" I guessed.
"Limited expresses," he said "all

fast time and only stops at big sta
tions. Nice line, but too exhaustive
for a bmkemau. All train men in
uniform, conductors punch and km

and it makes them too fret; and eay.
No, I couldn't stand the palace cars.
Rich roads through. Don't often hear
of a receiver being appointed for that
line. Some mighty nice people travel
on it, too."
"Universalist?" I suggested.

men don't get along well with the
passengers. No I don't go to the

awfullv goad men who run that road.
'Presbyterian?'' I asked-
"Narrow guage, ehl" said the brake
man, "jiretty track, straight as a rule;

of an accident on that road. It's run
right .up to the rules."
".Maybe you joined the Free Think
ers," I Slid.
"Scrub road," saiu tho brakeman,
"dirt road bed and no ballast; no time
card aud no train dispatcher. All
trains run wild, and every engineer
makes his own time, just as he pleases
Smoke if you want to; kul of go-as-you-please

but I don't like the line. I don't like
to travel on a road that has no termi

vision superintendent, where the road
run to, and he said he ho,ied to die if
he knew. I asked him if the general
superintendent could tell me, and he
said he didn't believe they had a gen
eral superintendent, und if they had,
he didn't know any more about the
road than the passengers. I asked
him who he reported to, and he said
nobody. I asked a, conductor who he
20t his orders fiom, and he said
he didn't take orders from any
living man or dead ghost. And when
I asked the engineer who ho got his
.orders from, he said he'd like to see
anybody give him orders; he'd run the
train to suit himself, or he'd run into
tho ditch. Now you see, sir, I'm a
