LWe deeply a'égl‘eﬁ“to hear of. the sudden death of Judge Edwin Randall, which oceurred at his residence near Avilla on Sunday last, from a Se\"ore and uncont‘m]hﬂ)léf attack of cholera morbus. The Judge was one of the early settlers of the. county, a kindhearted man, a public-spirited citizen, and an earnest advocate of democratic measures.

Tt appears that she, was informed by some one that the use of arsenic would produce & iauﬁ'ﬁi whiteness of the skin, and accordingly ‘obtained a quantity of that poisonous drug. She had taken th'ni) or four doses when she was thrown|into spasms, and but for the skillful and energetic efforts of a physician ‘would have atoned for her folly by meefing with grim death.

A persistence in this reprehensible proceeding may result in producing a whiteness of the skin that might accidentally prove more durable than bargained for by these silly girls, ‘ —Every one of our citizens is inter¢sted in the organization of a gpod fire department.

True, a few men have to manage the affairs; so they do with our court liouse, jail and. poor farm, and the men selected come from every township in the county. Therefore, as we are all interested, let us all lend a helping hand to make our County Fair a decided success. - .

—TLet every farmer and his family attend the Fair, and if they see something they ecan- bring next year, and carry off the prize, let them do so, as that is thelobject of our Fair, to incite each to excel. 1t should be the poliey of all to show the best stock of all kinds; also grains and vegetables, and Jlast but not least; the ladies’ department, the loom, dairy, fancy sewing, ‘embroidery, knitting, and other work they may present, for if there is any one thing that condutes to make a good Fair, it is in looking thro’ Floral Hall, where you find the industry of the wives and daughters of the hard fisted yeomanry of the land.

How very excitable a woman is just on the eve of getting married. You never can tell how she will take a remark which may refer to her. In my correspondence of last week I spoke of a certain young lady in this place, ‘and what was intended as a compliment she tortured into an attack. Shemet this humble individual, and such a “going over” he never received before and hopes never to again. She turned the house up side down with her demonstrations, converting a sick room into a perfect bedlam. Stra[n'gers did not deter her from her purpose, and she kept on until our only safety was in silence, and relief came only when our ‘assailant was completely exhausted and dropped it with, “and this is not the last of it.” She started for Niagara Falls last sSunday night. I hope no calamity willlbetail her. ' © . - “n The Masonic fraternity of this place turned out in large force to attend the funeral services of Judge Randall.

If'the Granges do admit women, I am satisied this lady farmer would De eligible, but the Captain. never could be admitted on “what he knows about farming.” ~ Pole-cat’s reference to the petition last week was quite funny. ITe should not forget that the petitioners meant it more as a thrust at him than as .a compliment to Mr. Lisle. I wonder if the people know .the estimation in which. Pole-cat Myers is held by the editors who know him, I have made some inquiries, and find that they regard him as being utterly destitute of either honor, integrity or ability, but pronounce him a first-class dead-beat. ¢ Jor.

HAWPATRCH. ' - Frost has made its appearance, killing the tomatoes and nipping thc'ci)r‘n that had not been previously cut and secured in shock. - J. Olinghouse and S. L. Bodle with a Massillon machine ‘and an eight horse power engine threshed 84 bushels of Tappahanac wheat in thirty minutes, two bushels and three pecks per minute. _ e There is more wheat sown in Lagrange county this Fall than in any previous year; so say old farmers. ‘Rev. Brenneman, :of Elkhart, delivered a sermon at the Omish church last Sunday at ten o’clock ‘A.

T Some of the young denizens are becominig a nuisance to society in our community. Boys, desist from your bad condnet. . = - Mur. Gale is seeding three hundred acres of his farm to wheat. |

CROMWELL. e Nothing unusual has occurred here during the past week, except that Jack Frost ealled last Saturday night and “done up the business” for late corn and other vegetation of a tender nature. However, there is never so much loss without some gain—it wa‘é\ a deadener on flies. ; - " Rumor has had it heretofore that Jacob Baker was not going to dispose of any of his town lots, which rumor, I am happy to inform the people, was not correct. Let all those wishing to purchase lots of Mr. Baker come right along ‘with their “shads,” and that gentleman will) make out. deeds for them so fast that it will make their heads swim. ‘ Farmers are pretty generally done seeding and are now busily - engaged in cutting corn. .- o Grading on the railroad is nearly completed at this point. ‘ o The health of the people in our village is generally good at present. ¥ Rufus Barcus is going to build a new house for himself this Fall _ Daniel Sarber and Simon Archer are hulding new dwellings—all in the village of Cromwell. The “Néw Organization” is a suecess. Next week a list of members, with their rank and position as they appear on dress parade, will be published, as T am informed by “Rebus.” M. L.

- ELKHART TOWNSHIP. =~ ; o SUNNY SIDE, August 11, FRIEND STOLL:—After a silence of ‘some time, I attempt locals again. : The farmers are all busy, threshing, “plowing, harrowing and sowing wheat —in‘fact, this is one of the busiest seasons of the year for the honest “plow-holders.” Our wheat does not turn out as well-as was Janticipated, but we will not complainfor fear of worse, The average is about fifteen bushels per. acre. e

It is with sadness that I inform you of the death of Uncle Dan. Billman. The “pale horse and his rider” made their appearance last Tuesday ‘morning and Uncle Dan. was called to go. His was a long, lingering sickness, and his sufferings perhaps more than any of us eould imagine. What his ailment was will always remain a mystery. His remains will be interred in the Springfield cemetery at one o’clock to-day. Rev. Mr. Howe, of Wawaka, will preach the funeral sermon. Unele Dan. did not belong to any religious denomination, but we are inclined to believe that hé will be ;;is'”likte}y_to enjoy the realms of eternal bliss as some far more pretentious people. He was always good to the poor, and we know he was as clever a neighbor and as peaceable a citizen as our township could boast. Deceased was born in Schuylkill county, Pennsylvania,in 1809 and was cOhseque_n“cly sixty-fouy years of age. In:'the Fall of 1849 he embarked for what was then considered the Western Wilds and landed inr Noble county, where he settled and remained upon the farm on which he died. All will miss jolly Unecle Dan. Peace to his ashes. v

King Bilious reigns supreme in this neighborhood. From appearances we judge he is trying to make up for lost time in the forepart of the season. IHe visited us night before last, and held on like grim death until’ last hight, and, in. fact, to-day we are j‘ust barely able to drag one foot after the other. Our “better half” is inclined to censure us, and says she “wishes the hogs and cattle would get into the melon patch and destroy Votl fruit and vines.” She is “monstroué” sympathetic. :

Uncle Dick Billman is thinking seriously of disposing of his farm. We would hardly know what to do if he should leave us, for he is one of our best- meighbors. Uncle Dick, don’t sell out. You have lived here long enough to have gained your residence. © Since writing the above, we have attended the funeral of Uncle Dan. Billman. Quite a large procession - was formed at the residence by the friends and neighbors who had gathered to pay their last tribute of respect to the departed. At ten o’clock the procession started to Wawaka, where the funeral discourse was preached. The Parson’s subject was an appropriate one, being that of the Resurrection. The text was the first clause in the sixth verse of the 28th chapter of Mathew, which reads as follows: “He is not here.” This was the first time ‘we have had the pleasure of listening to a discourse by Mr. Howe. We find him quite a talented speaker, and had no reasons to take exceptions to the greater portion of his remarks. ; NONLIBET. | :e e : UNDERWEAR snd other furnishing goods, new styles, just received at Engel & Co.’s, in Kendal_lvillg. o T T TRt : How TO DO UP A SHIRT BosoM.—A special premium being -offered to a young lady under 16 yeafs who will | exhibit the best “done up” shirt at our Fair next wggk, we herewith append 1 the following' from a scientific paper: ‘ “We have often heard ladies express a | fdesire to know by what process the ‘ fine gloss observed on linens, shirt-i bosoms, etc., is produced; and. in order that they may possess the secret, ; and thereby please their husbands ; twice a week with a white and glossy bosom front, we append the recipe:— Make a gum-arabic powder; put it into a pitcher, and pour on it a pint of boiling water (according to the degree of strength you require,) and then having covered it, let it stand all night.

‘ ‘QDEATH OF AN OLD MisEr—The subject of the following notice was known to many of our readers who will probably remember a paragraph I concerning the old man which appeared in these columns about two years ago. We quote from the Benton correspondent of the Goshen 7imes: “A few weeks since, there died at the residence of his son-in-law,.in an adjoining county, an old man—Remus Terry—well known in this vicinity, and for thirty or forty years a resident of this township. Mr, Terry was a_ very eccentric individual, and in consequence of his inordinate love of ‘money and his manner of hoarding it up, was known far and wide as the “Miser of Benton Township.” He was the possessor of 40 acres of land, and -made considerable money, almost all which was hid away on his premises. Nothing but gold and silver \wouldJ satisfy him, and when “greenbacks” were made a “legal tender,” he refused to exchange the products of his farm for them, even when fabulous ’ptices were offered. A few years, since his dwelling here was destroyed by fire, and large sums in gold and silver were discovered in various place about the ruins, all of which he claimed to have no knowledge of — His wife dying soon after, he lived ~alone-in” a wretched hovel upon the premises, although at that time he was perhaps 70 years of age, and verﬂ feeble. He was finally induced to take up his abode with his son-in-law, where he remained until his death, whieh ocecurred as previously stated. During his long life, and while suffer‘ing from severe attacks of various forms of diseases, he utterly refused: 3to have a physician called, and even ‘in his last moments, when the physician was summoned to his bedside, he peremptorily ordered him away, with the declaratien that he “didn’t want him to have any of his money.” He held but little - intercourse with his fellow-men, and his chief pleasure was handling his hoarded wealth.— Remus Terry was a ‘character that will not soon be forgotten,””

A liberal reward in spruce gum and peanuts will be paid to any one giving information that may lead to its discevery. ’ | So writes J. P. Prickett, of Benton, Elkhart county, to the Goshen Z'%mes. The “boys” along the Millershurg line seem to be slightly discouraged. Why don’t they take things coolly, as we do here at Ligonier? = ° !
