Mr. Garland and bis wife, both Kentuckians, settled on it when most of the county was a wilderness. They brought with them habits of industry and a genuine Southern hospitality which the peculiar circumstances in which the early settlers of the West always find themselves have tempered into the most agreeable of characters—a character marked by fiimness, hardi- jjoc{jp0rk on the Ohio River, and hood, ireedom and independence, a forc}jj-e language showed the great happy medium between the two ex advantage the opening of such a line tremes of Quaker life and fashionable

—At a meeting

Tuesday our citizens were

startled by the announcement brought to the city by

B. B.

Russell, that Miss

Mary McConnell and Mrs. Annie Clark had been drowned in Sugar Creek at Yountsville. It seem that they had started across in a skiff just above the dam, as is usual there, for the purpose of getting water from a spring on the opposito side. When about half way across they were caught in the current by a gust of wind and being unable to manage their litMe craft they were carried over the dam. They went over unharmed but were drawn back by the eddy and the skiflf capsized. They were seen by 5ome men who were standing on the banks at the time and who used every effort in their power to save them. Mrs. Clark's body was rescued, and yesterday morning hopes were entertained that she would recover. Miss McConneU's body at that time had not been found This sad casualty has cast a gloom over the community of Yountsville, as the ladies were much beloved by all who knew them.

RESOLUTIONS of CONDOLENCE.—At a regular meeting of the official members of the Quarterly Conference of the M. E. Church, held at the church in this city on the 12th inst., the following resolutions were passed expressive of their feelings in regard to the death of C. W. Rice, who was daring the past year connected with the choir as leader:

Resolved, That in the death of Charles W. Rice, the community has been deprived of a citizen whose future was brilliant for usefulness, and the Church a useful and working member.

Resolved, That the sympathy of the Official Board of M. E. Church, of Crawfordsville, be extended to the bereaved parents and friends, with the prayer that He who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb may comfort them in their bereavement.

in the shape

of berries has been very abundant this year and in all other shapes promises to be equally so. Every one having a family should, embrace the opportunity of canning fruit for the next winter's use. It can be had at low figures, and canning will cost but very little. It wil not cost onethird as much now as it will to buy preserves during the winter. A plentiful supply of canned raspberries,* gooseberries, cherries, and the like is a luxury during winter, and a firstrate preventive against doctor's and apothecary's bills.
