Elicd.—On Munday, July 18th 1881, the spirit of the beloved wife of Simeon Hains cut loose from its earthly moorings to inhabit the great Unknown. Suddenly, and without any forebodings, Mr. Hains and bis children were called to look upon the cold dead features of a wife and mother. The sad-hearted father and husband, ami tlie motherless little ones, have the heartfelt sympathies of this entire community. The remains were laid at rest in-tlrn Catholic cemetery on Thursday.

I was inelined that waj myself, but yet I knew that' General Washington was always scootimr around ami lie might have taken it into his head to cross the Alps. Good day, sir.”

lie passed down tlie-hall thirty feet, and then returned and protested: ‘■Say, don’t think ill of me, but I am still mixed up -dreadfully mixed \\ ill you answer me one more quest ion? ‘■Yes.’ ‘■Was it Nero who commanded the sun to stand still? ’ "No it was Joshua.’ "1 had an idea that it was Joshua, but I didn't dare put up money on it, Nero was always fiddling around, you know and I had a dim idea he had tak:cn a whack at the sun’. Very much | oblig' d to you, sir. This time he went half way down i the stairs and returned on tip-toe. 'The I a icnt 1 joke I up siw him in the door ' and .-harply inquired; •‘Well?’’ ‘‘Mixed again 1 pleaded the stranger. "Say, I want to ask you just one more question.’’ " Y es.” "Did you ever lend a man a dollar to help him on his way to Columbus to I see his dying wife? ' "Never! You are thinking of Old i Diogenes, lie used to shell out to eve- ■ ry dead-beat who came along. :• "Mixed again, by thunder! ’ muttered the man, as lie passed down stairs he took great pains to set his fi:t down da e.u-h sWp lixe a m;i» who had bet on three of a kind and found a Hush taking his money.— Detroit i’ree Press NDTiCE SALE~OF DITCH.
