The attending physicians pronounced her malady tonsilitis and she was thought to be improving but at ten o’clock a- m. last Saturday, she passed peacefully and silently away. She was a very bright and interesting child, aged nearly four years. The bereaved parents have the deepest sympathy of a host of friends in their sad bereavement. The funeral services were held in the U. B. church at this place last Monday afternoon and were very tenderly conducted by Rev. Father John Good. The total eclipse of the moon which । qccurred last Sunday evening was i quite a novel sight to those who oh I served it from this place. Although there are no astronomers in this place yet the fact that wo have a fine three inch telescope here made it an object of much interest. At the first contact the sky was considerably ob- 1 scured by clouds but the remaining degrees of contact, the sky being perfectly clear, made the phenomenon one beautiful to behold. Our telescope worked fine, and through it the moon during the eclipse presented a beautiful combination of delicate colors varying from a light yellow or golden to a dark red or copper color, etc. It was indeed a pleasing and interesting sight.

It has been truthfultisement r Tn*? - The proverbial helplessness of a man around home when Ids wife is away was forcibly illustrated last Sunday evening by a little circumstance which occurred to Will Jarrell. Mr. Jarrell's family was away visiting last Sunday and after returning from | church in the evening he entered Ids house at. the back door which he locked leaving the key in the door. He then passed out the front door and ^absent-mindedly closed it; the night ; latch on the inside caught and Mr. I Jarrell was securely locked out. The । windows were all fastened and he had no key to unlock the doors. He was helpless. In his desperation, however, . he went to the back door and pounded away until he succeeded in breaking it open, but not until the door was > pretty well hammered up. The foli ; lowing morning the services of a cari penter were secured to repair the wreck.
