Till", sad news reaches us of the accidental shontint and probable death of Robert II. My rick, formerly Treasurer of this eou.ity. 11 occurred near Plattshurir, on Friday of last week. The Ladoga /ffnild says his wife and family left that place last Wednesday to meet liiin at Kansas (."it v. A letter was received by some friends at Ladoga last Tuesday in which she states she did not learn of her husband's misfortune until she reached Wellsville. Franklin county, Kansas, where she arrived on Saturday. t)u making inquiry lor J. II. Harrison, who lives a few miles from that place she was informed by the railroad agent that lie was expected there every moment, as a limn named Myrick, near l'latt.-biirr. Mo., had been shot, and wanted him to come up'.here. This was the first news of the accident. She immediately started in her husband and found him dangerously wounded. It appears that lie carried a gun with hint loaded, uiicappini: it every morning, and on that morning (Friday), he reached into his wagoril to take the gun out for that purpose, and unfortunatelv the hammer camrht anil the film was discharged, the whole load I entering his breast in a downward direction, leaving a ghastly wound, some oi

—The church socials are getting to be mitey popular. I —The article by "Noah Zark" in la.-t week's Jot'itNAL about empty nests was pretty good. It is just us fair lo presuine that some of our idlers will produce I a bale of dry goods by sitting for weeks, on an empty dry goods box as it is to iin-'

agine that a hen will brins chicks from a nest that does not contain the necessary raw material,

iiu

there is one argument

we object to, .Xoah. We have known parents to have lined their children's nests with "rocks," in one acceptation of the term, and in a .short time the nests Would be empty and the children return, I with tears in their eyes, begging for more ["rocks." And then I once knew a boy who sat on a nest that was not quit" empty—a hornet's nest—and hesucceeded in bringing out one of the largest broods of hornets lie hail ever seen or felt.

The only effect had was to make'him hold "his, stung." "The man who goes to law for a. trifle sets his lien on an empty nest," says Noah. Now, Noah,
