We had the humiliating satisfaction of breaking the news to our Republican friends? Mr. Teeple has laid on our table two very large beets, raised on the county farm. Thanks. Over tw<> thousand tax payers of Adams county have told Dal Trout that I he is a dirty little liar. Those wishing to pay for their paper in wood must bring it along now, else money will be collected. Dr. Jelleff dressed a bruised hand last Tuesday for some one, the name of whom we did not learn. Frank Sylvester, of Lima, Ohio, has started a renovating and dye establishment in Decatur. He will do well here. Shohy's new badge carries with it evidence of authority, but it's harmless and only emblematic of the faith within him. Those wanting to go north “on a hunt with Dent, Myers et. al. will please be at the depot on Monday next at 1:47 p. m. Bring blankets along with you. By order of the chief mogul. Our very worthy citizens, Mr. Pendleton Rice, was lead into the delusive hope by Dal Trout’s eight by ten hebdomadal that he was wanted in this county for commissioner. Vain man — wicked editor !

Any parties in the county wanting work done, we will do much better with them or their agent than elsewhere in the state, as our prices are about a half lower for good work than any otaer in the state. All work warranted life-like and durable as on tin. Letter I roni the Weil Robinson, Col., Sept. 21st, 1880. Ek. Democrat.—After a long delay I shall endeavor to give a description of the mining camp and its ricio- • ity.

The camp is in elevation from the sea nearly 11,000 feet, and situated on the south east slope of Sheep mountain A small valley of nearly 1 mile in width is at the south, while beyond the valley on the south east and south are Fletcher, Poortlet and other mountains, which are from 2,000 to 3,000 feet above this locality. The source of'the Arkansas river is about four miles south of here. Leadville is about 18 miles distant, and a little west of south. Timber line is dose at hand. Owing to the great altitude, it snows here a little every month in the year, but during about two months the snow averages from 3to 6 feet deep on a level aud drifts to the depth of 25 feet or more in places beyond where the wind strikes fair. It frosts and freezes every night during the summer, and one can have the pleasure of snow-balling on the 4th of July, by tht short walk of a mile up the side of one of the mountains; and it may seem strange to those who have not visited high altitudes during the summer season, that on« <*»n gather flowers, the most delicate and beautiful at the very edge of and even peeping through the snow drifts.

The timber which girds the tuouu- <i tains below timber line, is fine, and ' grows to the thickness of over 30 inch- * es in diameter at the base, and to the - height of 80 or 90 feet. Pasturage is 1 good during the months of July and c August, stock fatten well on it. But 1 very few animals are found, and gen- < erallv such as are here during the 1 warmer part of summer, migrate when ' cold weather commences. There is a f kind of rabbit, known to miners by the 1 name of snow-shoe rabbit, which is a 1 little smaller than a jack-rabbit and > which nature has provided with tuffed feet, nearly as long and broad as a 1 ns hand so that they can travel 1 a asfly over the crust of snow. < Consolidated Mining I S' , iy was organized last January i yy' £ ten claims which the company i y-.'j - stocked at 110,099.009, are ] tuaAdcrably above par. Une can see atx,ut $500,009 worth of \ rjort t.AVA» single sight. The other IWv An Sheep mountain Robinson mine, and are are the Nettie B . V/fil. Snow Bank, Wheel of Hondo. Several ?ood

strikes have been made recently, not tar from the above named mines, one of which produces very good ruby silver Mr. George Robinson has just built a forty ton capacity smelter, which is . almost ready to run at a cost of about fifty thousand dollars. When I came to this camp the first of last July there were but 4 houses, now the town contains over 100 houses, some of which compare very favorably with those of large eastern towns. A branch rail road from Leadville will reach this place in about 30 days. The Denver and Rio Grande rail road has constructod several lines of railroad through parts of this State that would seem wholly impracticable even for a trail. There is a saying among miners, that the D. AR. G. R. R. can run up a tree after one has passed over the rail road down the Arkansas valley. The Sabbath is scarcely observed at all. One n-t knowing when the sacred day appears except by count or an increased number of intoxicated men. Prices are rather high. Boarding and lodging <9.00 per week. Hay from 4 to 5 cents per lb. ; Irish potatoes from 8 to 12 l-2cts. per lb. ; green apples from 8| to 12 1 2 cts per pound, bran 4 cts. per pound. These are the average prices during the year. Two political clubs have been organized recently. The Hancock & English club has a membership of 100, while the Garfield A Arthur club has but 73. So you see the prospects for a rousing democratic majority in this camp is good. Some here are anticipaning a very close race on the State ticket Jand a majority in favor of the democrats on the National ticket, at the coming election. Yours very truly, J S. B. $100,000,000. Discovery of an Heir to Tills Amount In Indianapolis*- An Interesting Romance ot colonial Times. [lndianapolis News.]

For the past week the friends and .acquaintances of Mrs. Wm. M. French, of East North Street, have been en joying a social sensation, the discovery that she is one of the heirs entitled to the division of an immense estate. Readers of the jV»-ir» may have noticed going the rounds of the papers for a few weeks, a short paragraph alleging that the proper distribution of a fortune of $100,000,000 depended on finding an ola Bible, containing an ancient family record, which is supposed to be probably concealed among castaway rubbish in the garret of some Connecticut home. Mrs. French is in all probability one of the heirs to this immense fortune, though it is not at all certain that any of them will be able to make such proof of kinship aa will satisfy an English court, even if the Bible is found. The story is a romantic one and begins away back in the Colonial times, and is connected with one of England's wealthiest noblemen, Lord John Townley, of Lancanshire. In 1727 there was born to this nobleman an only child, a daughter, whom he named Mary. Mary, like many another heir, could not bid her heart await the notions and emotions of the scions of aristocracy who flocked around her. but at an early age she gave it to a young weaver by the name of Williams. Os course her father forbade her marrying one so far beneath her in culture and social position, and, of course, Mary eloped, and married the man she loved. They sailed for the colonies about the year 1770. and settled in Windham County, Connecticut. Here, the more effectually to conceal their whereabouts, they took the name of Stevens, dropping that of Williams. The man worked at his trade, remaining poor of course. They had nine children. So..n aln rthebtrtbof iheyouug est, Stevens, for some cause, entirely abandoned his family, taking with him his family Bible which contained the records of the Townley family, and that is the Bible now so anxiously sought for. Soon after their abandonment by the father, whom tradition makes rather a shiftless mortal, the- family assumed their real names, Williams, partly to get rid of the burden or odium of

one who had proved himself utterly unworthy the woman he had abducted from a hviui ot luxuty and refinement. Mrs. Williams, as she was now called, lived to be sixty-four years old, and died in Pomfret, Connecticut, in 1791. Before her death she acquainted her daughter with the romantic, not io say foolish, incidents of her life, but she seems to have taken no steps to tireserve any evidence that might ultimately lead to an identification, or establish her right or the right of children to the inheritance properly belonging to them. It is must be remembered that the war of revolution had intervened between the elopement of the girl and the death of the woman, widening every breach between the men and women of the colonies and the aristocracy which managed the war on the part of England. Mrs. Williams had been an intense Whig, while her father had taken no ordinary part in the proeeeutmn of the war against his own daughter as against all the colonists. Remembering the intensity of the hatred which the war had engerdered against the aristocracy of England, it is not to be wondered at that th* girl who had de-

tied her father s interference in her love affair, and with equal hatred had defied all England, would,-even in old age, say that his estate might perish with him. and knew she died without * providing tor her children’s inheriting what properly belonged to them Just how, after ninety six years, the interest of these heirs so long sleeping, has been revived is not stated, nor is it necessary to be known. It is enough for the story to say that last Friday themail-carrierdelivered to .Mrs. French a letter apprising her that she is one of the heirs to that $100,090,000, and asking her to furnish such proof of her heirship as may be in her possession. It would hardly be expected that she would have much documentary evidence, especially on the 10.-t chapters of the romantic story, yet fortunately she has at least collateral evidence, which may corroborate other circumstantial evidence in the case. Her mother was a Williams, the daughter of John Williams, one of the sons, if not the only son, who lived to have children of Mrs. Mary Williams, nee Townely, of Lancashier. England. The mother of Mrs. French, the late Elisabeth L. Craft was borts in Fairfield County, Conn . September 25, 1789, two years before the death of her grandmother, the TownleyWilliams through whom the family came. In addition to the record of this j fact Mrs. French is in possession of much tradition, all bearing upon the identity of her mother's family with the Williams family, that settled in Connecticut in 1770 or thereabouts. All along through life Mrs. Craft made frequent allusions to the elopement of her grandmother, or rather, as the family tradition put it, her expulsion from home and disinheriting her because she chose to marry a weaver rather than the dissipated son of some neighboring nobleman whom the respective parents had selected for her husband, and she would often say that if she had her rights she wrnuld be wealthy. But perhaps the most remarkable coincidence, Jo call it by no other name, is the fact

that only a few days before her death, as if the sun-set of life was giving her mystical lore, she entered into a detailed narrative of the family tradition, not only repeating the scraps that had become familiar, but mentioning many new featurs. Singularly enough, as it now appears, she gave Townley as the maiden name of her paternal grandmother, and said that her grandfather , and her own father were weavers, claim ing for them the highest skill in art. being especially famous for their woolen coverlets, some of which long remained in the family as heirlooms. I Mrs. French attaches no importance to ' the fact that with something like the j solemnity of a Seer, the old lady, as if | oppressed with some coming event | which casts it shadow before, said that ; I the time would come, and that not long I , hence, when the heirs of this woman | who had been driven from a home of j luxury by a heartless father, to labor . and suffer in the new world, would in j | herit what of right belongs to them, i Mrs. French regarded the half prophecy as a thought begotten of a wish, and ; had almost dismissed it from her mind until the letter alluded to recalled it. i and it is not strange that she now half | believes that there may be something j in it.

Correapondence Mr. Editor.—l have the pleasure of reporting to your columns, a very successful effort on the part of the friends of our very worthy brother, Mr David Eckrote. This effort was to surprise him upon the third anniversary of his signing the Murphy pledge. As usual, upon last Babbath morning. Bro. Eckrote found his place in the sabbath school, (<n which he is an earnest worker in the temperance cause), while services were intentionally protracted by the friends until a proper hour to meet other arrangements, when, upon returning Lome, he found his house taken possession of by about one hundred and seventy-five of his friends, which was shortly increased to two hundred and fifty, nor did they come to be served but to serve, as was proven by the well filled baskets, which contained sufficient to feed the multitude, with much to spare. So much even, that your correspondent at this late date, feasted upon their danties. But this was not the best, but the speeches delivered by Bro's. Levi Miller and Beuj. Studabaker and the gratitude expressed bybrother E, in his remarks, for the encouragement given him by their friendship and confidence, was a rich feast for tit soul of every lover of hu-

manity. Another marked feature of

the occasion, was the excellent music furnished by tin young friends, with 1 the approprite song by Mrs. Hall. Such ( occasions as this lead us to ask, "Is there not many wh >se hearts are reaching out after the friendship and conti- I dence, and asking for the arm of strong brothers to lean upon ? The answer comes back. ‘ Yes. many, very | I many,’’ and the injunction is to us who j would live for God and humanity, go thou ami do likewise, for inasmuch as thou hast done it to one ot these my brethren ye have done it unto me. i CS.IT.XLLV.

L. Harvey ’ Published by J. A. Ruth & Co.. Chicago, and Kansas City. The work is finely and profusely illustrated, and contains 432 royal quarto pages, fairly glistening with the rarest jewels of natural history and science, embracing scenic descriptions of the surpassinggranduer and sublimity of portions of our western country its great plains, awe-inspiring waterfalls and remarkable subterranean caverns, together withan authentic account of the Antarctic and Polar regions, with a spice of variety including “Sporting in the Tropics. There is also valuable scientific knowledge contained in the subject of “Alchemy and Chemistry. while ■More Than One Universe abounds in radiant astronomical truths regarding the rapidity of the motions of light, the neublae theory, and that one star of stars—Alcyone, the Sun King, around which all the heavens revolve. The meteroic aeolites, and wanderers through space are not forgotten, but

are unerringly traced in their mad flight through the ether blue. "Ocean Waves” the wonders of the trackless deep, "Sounds and Silence,'’ earth treasures and ‘precious stones’ are theme possessing wonderful and fascinating interest. An adequate discription is given of important historical events, "Ancient Ruins.' “The Temple of the Sun,” and the culture and the manufacture of our best known and most essential nat ural products. The chapter, "Nature's Teachings.'’ is replete with rich and useful information, affording a subject for deep and earnest thought, while the life sketches of our noted scientists, inventors, and masters of art. inspire within the reader’s mind a desire to cultivate, even though in a small degree the talents with which God has endowed him.
