Barkley Township Items.

Barkley Township, Sept. 14,’81. Mb. Editor; I have noticed the columns of your paper for some time, and have looked and looked in yain for those items which should have appeared from week to week, and circumstances and facts have proved to me that some of your correspond ents have fallen by the wayside.— There is Mr. “Slip-Up,” the young Continental, who at first waved his pen in the breeze in the name of the great Sand-Lapper, and said it is I.— And we regret to say the “Widow Hainzes 2 Boys” have gone the way of all flesh. Mr. “Reader,” too, since Jennie-thought more of the lap-robe, and Lillie of the cakes and pies, than of him, who has sent in the longest string of items that has appeared in the columns of either paper has permitted himself to sink out of sight. But I expect to stand by my post and do my duty as I have done heretofore, for I am “all wool and a yard wide,” and I don’t intend to be surpassed at all, at ali, by auy other reporter on the jab. Truly Yours. Mb. Hon. D. B. Swacklehammeb, Esq.

Blaze, after suffering several months from consumption. We greatly sympathize with the be reuved husband aud parents. Weep, ye bereaved! a dearer head, Ne’er left the pillowing breast: The good, tlte pure, the lovely lied, When mingling with the shadowy dead, * She meekly went to rest. Mourn, friends 1 , mourn! a bow which spanned Thy cloud hits passed away; A flower has withered on thy sand, A pitying cpirit left thy strand, A saint litis ceased to pray. Angels rejoice, another string Ibis caught the strains above; Rejoice, rejoice! a new fled ed wins* Around the throne is hovering, In sweet, glad, wondering love. A Friend
