Smith was born March 1, 1857, and died March 8, 1891, aged 384 years and seven days. She was married to W. B. Corner, Aug. 17, 1875, to whom were born nine children, two having died. She is survived by a husband and seven children, besides a father and mother, two sisters and four brothers, and a circle of many friends. “A few short years of evil past, We reach the happy shore, Where death-divided friends at last ~ Shall meet to part no more.” The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Mattox at the Island in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends, last Wednesday, and the remains were buried in the Walkerton cemetery. The last congress at the request of ‘, Postmaster General Wanamaker appro- | priated SIO,OOO for the purpose of ex- \ perimenting on free delivery in small ‘ towns and villages. The German gov- | erment has free delivery in all parts of | \the country. That country is dcnsoly\ populated and the system is not a burden upon the people, as country deliv- i t ery would be in the United States. It ?is thought that in small towns in this | i country free delivery may be established profitably as one carrier who could uple of hours a day to it Ute o the stations selected for experiment is Sellersburg, a village of six | hundred inhabitants, situated in Clark gcounf}y Indiana, on the Indianapolis & t Louisville division of the Pan Handle. ! —South Bend Post. | 100 Cords of Wood! 1

One of Walkerton's Leading, Busy and Enterprising Housos. A represertative of the INDEPENDENT in making his rounds for news a few eveuings since dropped into the large double establishment known as the Philadelphia store. In the dry goods department this firm carries as fine and complete an as-ortment perhaps as can be found in auyv town tle size of Walkerton in Northern Indiana. In dress goods they carry henriettas, serges, brilliantines, flannels in all shades, stripes and plaids, satines, ginghams, gipsy cloths, ete.; French percale for boys’ waists, white goods consisting of dress goods, linens, napkins, embroidgries, flouncings, yoking, tucking, muslins 10 DICACTION I bl white eambrics, and a complete line of the best prints. They have a good line of ribbons, hosiery, kid gloves, fine cashmere and jersy gloves, silk mitts, umbrellas, buttons to mateh all shades of dress goods; fine rugs, lace curtains, cameo drapery, fineunderwear, fine stockinette jackets, handkerchiefs, shawls. lln the gents’ furnishing goods department they have a nice selection of the latest styles in neckwear, including a fine line of white shirts, fine flannel and cashmere shirts, socks, suspenders, ete. Their shoe department consists of an extensive line of ladies’ shoes in all styles, and prices, fine kid and dongola, gents’ shoes to suit all tastes, misses and children’s shoes and gents fine calf boots in all sizes, widths and prices. In the grocery department, which occupies ane entlive room 20 by 80 feet, they carry a full line of grocties and provisions, fruits in season, everything in the line of canned goods, crockery and queensware, fine stand and hanging lamps, etc. In looking over this mammoth establishment one can scarcely realize that this firm began business in a modest way less than three years ago. But such is the fact. By cuterprise,. fair and square dealing, using everybody well, and judicious advertising they have succeeded in building np their present large business.

The young lady rose from her chair and inquived of the waiter if he knew any place close by where sausages and sauerkrant were obtainable. She was told {o seek Sixth avenue, and as she rustlcl away the men who had discussed her appetite ordered additional brandies. “I will bet,” said the waiter, *‘that that girl is of German descent.” And be turned up his nose as faras it would go. He was French. The Land of Pluck. Far over the sea is a famons little couniry generally known as Molland; but that nawe, even if it mean Hollow land, or How land? does not desecribe it balf so well as this—The Funny Land of Pluck. Verily, a queerer bit of earth was never shone upon by the sun nor washed by the tide. It is the oldest, funniest couutry that ever raised its head from the waves (and, between ourselves, it does not quite do that).the most topsytarvy landscape, the most amphibious spot in the universe,—as the Man in Moon can't deny,—the chosen butt of the eloments, and goodnaturedly the laughing-stock of mankind. Its people are the queerest and drollest of all ‘the nations; and yet so plucky, so wise - and resolute and strong, that ‘“‘beating the Dateh” has become a by-word ressige the limj}’s of mortal per- " ¥ . I —————— e As for the country, for centnries it was not exactly anywhere; at least it objected to staying long just the same, in any oune place. It may be said to have lain around loose on the waters of a certain portion of Europe, playing peek-a-boo with its inhabitants; now coming to the surface here and there to attend to matters, then takineg a dive { for change of scene,—and a most disastrous dive it often proved. ‘ Rip Van Winkle himself changed less between his great sleeping and waking than Hollaud has altered many a time, between sunset and dawn. All its permanence and resoluteness seems to have been soaked out of it, or rather to have filtered from the land into the people. Every field hesitates whether to turn into a pond or not, and the pouds ave always trying to leave the country by the shortest cut. One would suppose that under this condition of things the ouly watroubled creatures would be turtles and ducks; but no, strangest and most mysterious of all, every living thing in Holland appears to be thoroughly placid and content. Fhe Datch mind, so to speuk, is at once anti-dry aund waterproof. Little children run about in fields where once their grandfathers sailed over the billows; and youths and maidens row their pleasure-boats where their ancestors vlayed ‘tag” among the haystacks. When the tide sweeps unceremoniously over Mynheer's garden, he lights his pipe,takes his fishingrod, and sits down on his back poreh to try his luck. If his pet pond breaks loose and slips away, he whistles, puts up a dam so that it cannot come back, and deeides what crop shall be raised in ifs vacant place. None but the Duteh could live so tranquilly in Holland; though, for that matter, if it had not been for the Duteh, we may be sure there would have been, by this time, nc Holland at all. | And yet this very Holland, besides holding its own place, has managed to gain a foothold in almost every quarter of the globe. An aceount of its | colonies is a history in itself. In the ' East Indies alone it commands twentyi ty four millions of persons.—Mury ‘4,l"[_ll\;.)' l}u"'t,.l/-_', 1‘)1 S/, ‘..\.(,.“ ,-";"15’"/.\'.
