A heart rend ing sceue oceured hero last Friday morn ing Mrs. Decke? liaving occasion to po to a neighbors on an errand, kit her only child, a beautiful babe of eight months sleeping in its crib. During her nbsence some wood near the stove caught (;te,and ou her return she found the room full of smoke. She rushed in, seized the child and ran to a house near by. but, the child was dead, having been suffocated by the smoke. The feelings if the mother are biyond my pewer of description. She ran frantically through the streets teaviug her hair and wringing her hands until the bloid started from her finders; uttering the most heartrender ing screams and making the m;st pitta blc moans. Kind friends took her in charge and did all in their power to con sole her in her affliction. The child was the idol of iU parents, and bo:h father and mother are terribly stricken with grief. DcMAN. Ciituary. lion. Isaac Ilorton, Sr., die l nt h; resdeuce in this place yesterday evening, April 2d 1873, at the advanced ago of 8 ) years, 6 months, and I t dajM. Mr, Ilorton was one of the first set tlers in this county, and probably at the time ol his death w:-.s the oldest man in the county. He came to this county, and settled at Brandy Camp ia the year U and boujht a piece of land on whi, h ho has lived ever since, until last lull, when he sold his farm and moved 1 1 this place. He first came into the e.iunty in a canoe, aud at that time a dense wilderness, inhabited by wild ani mals, and Indians stood in the place o( vilhges and a thriving county. He has been twice associate judge of this county, one term by appointment, ond one term by election, and has through a long and busy life contributed largely to the wealth and advancement of Klk County, and long will the mem ory for his kind acts, and pleasant coun tenance bo retained by those intimately acquainted with him. About three years ago he was stricken with blindness, and during this affliction ho has always preserved a patience that was remarkable. His death was le immediate effect of congestion of tho lungs, one of the most painful of all dis eases, and yet during his sickness of little more than a week, although Buf fering the most excruciating pains, be never once murmured nor complained but boro all with christian fortitude, pcrserving until the last his faculties and a firm belief in tho resurieetiou of the dead, and the redemption of sinners. Thus has another good man gone to his rest; thus are we again reminded that life is short and that the aim of life is to do good. Thus "They are passing, one by one The aged of ourvillngo to their quiet rest." France is rapidly recovering from the effects of its recent conquest.

Joseph Powell, died at Greenville Ten nessee, lately, after ao eventful life, and one act in it entitles him to au imuiortal tality of fame. He served in the South Carolina Legislature and wa3 the only man who voted "No" at a public meet ing that passed the nuliCcntion resolu tions. A gold headed cane was present ed to him inscribed "The Immortal No." During fho rebellion he served in Burn side's army, and was imprisoned at Rich mond. Pittsburgh Gazette, Puom::;ks in Pencil. It is a popu lar fallacy that promissory notes writen or signed in pancil will not stand in law, and and a ca.-e h-M lately bceu dismissed by one of tho New York courts, ground ed on that belief, the decision beiug giving that a note iu pencil is legally as binding as if in ink. Jude Story, on promissoiy notes, declares that "a prom issory note must be signed either iu ink or r,e!ie:!;!'i.it is !o say the promisor must dn ?o; Ihc body may be printed." This is conclusive, but tho courts, in a great many cases, and without a dissenting judgment, have confirmed this rule. Tar. lumber trade of Michigan is at taining colossal proportions, tho total production for the year 1872 being es timate! at. 2,792.000,000 feet, repre senting value of over 810,000,000. In the Kaginaw Va'lLV district, including Saginaw and Bay counties, 72,000,000 shingles were manufactured iu 1872; also 17,000,000 hoops, 4,000,000 head ings and 14,000,000 staves. These staves are mostly sent to New York city, whore they are either made .into barrels and hogsheads or shipped in the rough to foreign ports.

Wearing Flanxf.l. The majority of people are not aware of the benefic ial effect of wearing flannel next to the body, Doth in t-oid and Viarm weath er. Flannel is uot so unoofortablo in warm weather as prejudiced people believe. Frequently colds aud constant hacking coughs soou leave off on adopt ing flannel garments. There is no need of great bulk around the waist, which condemns the wearing of Annuel with those who prefer wasp waists to health, lor in that case the flannel can be cut as loosely fitting waists always fasteuiug at the back. There aro scarce ly aay of the bad effects of changes of weather felt by -those who wear flannel garments and mothers should endeavor to secure such for their little peoplj in preference to all those showy outside rimmiags which fashion comucands.

The last time he was seen living was January 15th last. On that day he wcutto a hotel on Bennett's, above Dent's Ron where he took several drinks of liquor and also had a flask filled. Late in tho eveuing he stopped at a house and tried to have them keep him until morning, but was refused admittanoe. On Sunday, March 0th his body was found in the woods by Mr. J. W. Brown, and Mr. Stoors the facn has been disfigured by wood mice. The decerned was forty-five years of age. Cameron Press. Fatal Accident. John Jennings a oative of Canada, aged about '62 yeats, was run over by a passenger train in this place, Wednesday evening, the 12th inst., and was so seriously injured that death took place on tho following morning about 2 o'clock. From what we hear, it 6oems that the deseased attempt ed to get on the train, which was runuing pretty rapidly, for the purpose of traveling further north having ex pressed the opinion that he thought it was a through traiu. It is also supposed thathe had been employed at Muncy, Pa. When picked up he was found to be without money, but was immediately cared for and alter death decently buried by our borough authorities. It scorns singular after all tho cautioning done by the railroad companies and the newspapers against this practice, that there still remains people foolish enough to risk theii lives to get on a train while it is in motion.
