March, with its numerous changes, is here once more and with it the much dreaded movirg time.

DUNNVILLE.

Sicknets everywhere. Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Claspel, who have been visiting friends in White county, returned a few days ago.

The family of ex-Trustee Kaupke, who have been very sick for the past few weeks, are better at this writing. Born, to Mr. and Mrs. August Kalanska last Thursday, a fine girl. Mr. Kalanska was too happy to turn hand-springs. Jesse Collins had the misfortune to get one of his fingers cut quite badly. It appears that Jesse tried to stop a sawmill by applying his hand to the saw. A train of thirty cars of agricultural implements passed through our burg last Wednesday. The cars were decorated with flags, presenting a fine appearance. George Ketchmark has moved into the house lately vacated by W. S. DeArmond. Mr. DeArmona h. s moved into hts lately purchased house in the North part of town. The following are the persons enrolled on the sick list: Rachiel Cullen, Elsie Hughes, Mrs. Hughes, Mrs. Elwood Davis, Joe Behles, Mr. Allen, Charlie Kaupke and Mrs. Sands. Well, Mr. Vi.rgie, we are very glad- to see you defend the blue and black-eyed beauties of your realm. Just because our blushing stove acts the part of a rustic while under the benign influence of the Wheatfieid belles, is no sign that they wouldn’t act as strangt ly when surrounded by a company of your Cleopatras, A SUDDEN DEATH. Miss Sarah Cowgill, a young lady of Rensselaer, who was teaching school two' miles southeast of Dunnvilie, dropped dead while on her way to school last Tuesday morning. She started from the residence of George Belcher, jr., (with whom she was boarding) about seven o’clock a. m., apparently as well as ever. About a half-hour after she had left, Mr Belcher, who was doing his chores, noticed that there was no fire in the schoolhouse and at ouce sent his little girl to see what was the matter. In a few minutes she returned, stating that Miss Cowgill was lying on the ground about thirty rods from the schoolhouse. Mr. Belcher at once hastened toiler and with the aid of Charlie Leon, (one of her pupils) carried her to the schoolhouse and at once summoned ihe help of the neighbors and dispatched a messenger to Dr. Solt of San rierre. All that kind hands could do, was done. The doctor said, that she died lrom acute congestion of the lungs. Her brother, A. B. Cowgill, arrived at four o’clock. Coroner Wright and Dr. Washburn, arrived on the five o’clock tram. Ihe inquest was held at Mr. Belcher's by the coroner-assisted-by Dr. Washburn. The remains Were taken to Rensselaer Tuesday evening andTron. there taken to Illinois for interment. Miss Cowgill will be greatly missed by the people of Dunnvilie and surrounding neighborhoods. With the report of her sudden demise went a tidal \ ave of sadness, for wherever shej went there was sunshine. At aij the ! social gatherings her presence was the 1 personification ol cheerfulness. Heap *' from far and near came to pay their last respects to the departed. We extend to the mother, relatives and friends, the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community, in this their day of sorrow.

Patrick of lordan tp, who has moved on David B. Noweis' farm near Parr. George Hollingsworth of Rensselaer, was at Parr Monday looking after the interest of his farm. Jacob T.oxel and wife, John McClanahan and wife of Rensselaer, visited relatives at Parr Sunday. The chivari at Porter's the other night resulted in the hoys getting stabbed in the mouth with a cigar. M. O. Gant and family, L. S, Gant and Mesdames John and Chas. Garriott visited Enterv Garriott's and family Sunday. Isaac Brubaker has a fine stepper now instead of his mules, and that rtnile on Miss B’s face is like a }>oor man's leese, from ear to ear. Robert Hannah, one of S. P. Thompson’s tenants, is going to move up about Rose Lawn. Chas. Fay will move on the farm he vacates. Edward Fay is building a new buggy shed, he believes in protecting it from the storm as well as over loading K. You are right, Ed. Sol Norman of Chicago Heights has moved on David Alter's farm just vacated by Allen Witham, who moved down near Monticello. The question was asked, Where is the center of gravity? L. S. Gant answers. Rensselter. He must be right as he is down that way about once a week. Go to ludy & Wood for a farming team; to Garriolt & Gant’s Ur a bargain in shoes; to the restaurants for a fill-up; to Dr. Kirk # for a physic, and to Joe Con way's for a wind-up. Doc’s, interpretation of diplomacy; "What is this here diploniacv?' r Asked a grocery loafer. "It is like this here,’’ said Dr.: For instance, if I waut to call

you a bar, I’d jist do so right out; but if I wanted to be diplomacy, I’d go at it sorter roundabout an’ jes’ say to the surroundin’ air that while I wasn't namin’ no names, I reely did believe that a certain red-nose, squint-eyed cuss that had eat at least 10 pound of my best cheese without even payin’ a cent, was not si keerful with the truth as he orter be. See?” / "Oh! I can't leave you,” She said, "In that blessed place, I know that I had left my heart with you, I can’t go away I—” He tocJk her in his arms and kissed her, and he felt his heart had arisen to illumine his bosom like a great lamp lighted in a temple that had been dark And finally words came in a torrent, as he still held her close to him, and talked of a preacher who lived not far away. They started and went to that person a Rev. Miller, and they returned as one. It was Sandusky Porter to Angela Cresler. May their path of life be that of roses,

A certain young lady of this place evidently wants her brother to get a letter pretty bad, as she has to write letters to his sweetheart for him, when he doesn’t know he has a sweetheart. There's nobody sick, hence no doctors to pay; nobody well, hence nothing ate; nettling to work at, hence no clothes worn oqt. Still some of our good neighbursjmi howling around ahout expenses.

A TAX ON SNOBBERY.

Incident That Shows Why Scon Pi* tures Arc Highly Valued. “When I came over from Paris si k years ago,” said a painter who is -spending his fall vacation in New Orleans, “I brought along a dozen or so little landscapes that I had done at odd times in the French provinces. If I do say so myself they were rather good, and I could easily have disposed of them to a Parisian dealer at prices ranging from 100 to 250 franca apiece. I thought, however, that I could get a much higher figure on thia side of the pond, and soon after my arrival I put them on exhibition at a well-known New York art store. To my chagrin the best offer made for my canvas was only sl2, which happened to be the exact value of the frame, and after leaving them on view for a couple of months without a single sale I became disgusted and bundled the whole collection back to my studio. Some time later on onp of my friends, who is a general auctioneer and who knew about my lack of success, sent me word that he thought he could dispose of my paintings at a fair price if I would let him take them around to his storerooms. Of course I was only too glad to do so, for, to tell the truth, I was pretty hard up just then, and one day soon afterward he amazed and overjoyed me by dropping in and handing me a beautiful, fat roll of greenbacks. He had sold every picture, and the least price received was $35. One study brought $l2O, and the total proceeds were $640. I could hardly believe my eyes, and was still more bewildered when I learned the names of the purchasers. They were some of the wealthiest people in the city, and included, among others, the very man who had offered the beggarly sl2 for one of the paintings when they were at the art store. My friend the auctioneer declined to give me any explanation until nearly a year afterward, when one evening he told me the story. It seemed that he had been engaged to sell out the complete furnishings of a house formerly occupied bv a rich and eccentric bachelor, who had gone to Europe to live. The gentleman had a wide reputation as an art connoisseur, and his pictures and bric-a-brac were in especial demand. My friend simply took the liberty of banging my paintings in the private gallery of the mansion, and, as he shrewdly anticipated, they went off like hot cakes. I suppose it was extremely unprofessional to be the beneficiary of. such a trick, but I soothed my oonseience with the reflection that nobody bad really been swindled and a deserving young artist had received some much-needed assistance in the nick of time. Anyhow, parvenlies who get their opinions ready-made oughtn’t to complain if somebody now and then levies a small tax on their snobbery.”—N. 0. Times-Dem-ocrat.

CAN YOU IMITATE IT?

How Binns Lost His Good Money on a Foolish Bet “It is impossible to exactly imitate the voice of an animal,” said Binns, learnedly. “Some people reckon that they are very clever in imitations of that kind, but anyone who knows can see that they are all out.” “Who told you that you were a judge?” asked Sims. Then Binns got cross and offered to bet him half a sovereign that he could not execute even a plausible imitation of any animal. “Any member of the animal kingdom?” queried Sims. “Yes,” answered Binns, adding: “I was going to say ‘except a donkey/ but I remembered that you did that quite naturally.” j- | “Done for ten shillings!” exclaimed Sims. He went to the middle of the room, and the others awaited the result. Sims stood perfectly quiet for a minute, then returned to his seat and asked for the ten shillings. “What do you call that? That’s no imitation!” cried Binns. “Excuse me,” observed Sims, politely, “that was a fish!” And the others insisted upon Binns parting with the money. London Tit-Bits.

Naturalization in England.

To be naturalized in Great Britain an alien must have lived there for at least five years, or have Berved the crown faithfully for the same period; and he must continue to reside in the British jurisdiction, unless Jje continues in the government service in foreign countries. A naturalized citizen has all the “political and other rights, powers and privileges,” and is subject to all the obligations to which a natural-born Briton is entitled or subject.
