he is loafing around a warm stovo in

Deer Deaths.
. Although' tho hunting in this vicin
ity has been rather poor thus far, what
little tracking snow we have had has
beu used to pretty good advantage,
and quite a number of deer have been
slain.
Jake Guiton has killed eleven this
season,-but that is no indication that
deer aro plenty, as- Jake generally
kills a deer whenever he feels like it.
His father, "Uncle Bob," who gener
ally kills from 15 to 20 in a season,
had got but three up to Saturday last.
Dad Hulings killed a good-sized
buck fawn last Saturday, across the
creek, about two miles from town.
Dad is of no earthly good in the
woods except on fawns, and they had
better keep well hid under the huckle
berry bushes.
Geo, Robinson and Johncy Hart
have taken advantage of all the track,
ing snows thus far but with only mod
erate success. Thev followed two nice
ones all day recently and then left them
in John Dawson's barn yard. They
were "all wool" and a yard wide, so
some of tho boys say.
A party was out "belling" on Mon
day but failed to get any venison. An
old doe jumped up within fifty feet of
Zach. Shriver, which surprised him so
he couldn't get his gun off. Lawyer
Ritchey stood near him with a double
barrel shot gun ou his shoulder, but
the blarated thing was running too fast
to suit him, so he didn't shoot.
Mr. Gorman, who lives near Brace
ville, thought he ought to have some
venison, so he went out one day last
week to fcteh in a deer. He knocked
over the first one he cams to, but when
be came to cut its throat he found
instead of a deer, his best cow breath
ing her last. We have known men to
3hoot yellow dog for foxes, but this
rather' takes tho cake.
Master Byron Coburn killed his
first deer last Thursday. He is but
15. years of age and felt elated accord
ingly. Harve Foreman killed two deer on
Little Coon creek last Thursday morn
ing without moving out of his tracks.
Harve was somewhat restless during
the following night and required con
siderable nursing, but heisagain conva
lescent, and his physicians think the
danger of a relapse has passed.

We were banded a copy of a letter

his life a citizen of the county ; he
now resides near North Bend, Ne
braska: North Bend, Neb., Dec. 8, '81.
Dear Friend : We have bought a
farm of 80 acres with a good frame
house and stable on tho same ; about
25 acres of it under fence. Land sells
here at $12 an acre. We live about
one mile from the town. The country
is level for some miles until you come
to what is called "the bluffs," then it
is rolling. Corn, it is sa'id, is not so
good as it generally is,but the people
say that some pieces, go 50 busheb of
shelled corn to the acre. Oats were
good. There has uot been but one
rain since we came out. The winds
are often quite high. It has been,
though, very pleasant weather for the
last two weeks. The soil here is good
and deep. Almost every house has
timber about it ; generally cottonwood
trees, which grow from 40 to 45 feet
high. It makes good fencing, but is
not the beBt of firewood.
The Iorest Kepublican comes
like an old friend from the forest every
week. It is a welcome visitor.
I will not write anymore until I have
more experienced in the. farming line,
bet send my respects to all inquiring
friends. Yours Truly,
Thomas Porter.

East Hickory.
Ed. Republican :
AVe noticed an ar
ticle in your paper in regard to tha
school children being eutainod at Hon.
N. P. Wheeler's on Thanksgiving, and
wish to correct a slight error. Toe
young ladies of East Hickory have
formed themselves into a band of use
fulness calling themselves the "Look
Up Legion." It was this society of
girls with some of their "big brothers"
that were entertained as stated, but as
they are members of the school alao,
tho mistake was not great. This same
Legion proposes to give an oyster sup
per in connection with a sale of arti
elesw'useful and beautiful, on the eve
ning of Friday, Dec. 23d, at the house
of Mr. Patch, near Mr. T. J. Bow
roan's store, East Hickory. We hope
to have a goodly number in attend
ance, and the fuuds acquired will be
applied towards getting up a circula.
ting Library of well choseu books.
Hickory is "looking up" as well as
our Legion. With telephonic and tel
egraphic wires flashes intelligence
from one point of the township to va
rious others ; with tne lorest prime
val ringing with the sound of steam
mills, wood-choppers, and tramp of
teams, the spirit of old Cornplanter
would look in vain for his unbroken
solitude by wood and stream.
At another time we may give a
fuller account of the aim and maxims
of our "Look Up Legion."

Since our last communication the
community has been called to mourn
the loss of one of her citizens in the
person of Mr. John Baptie. Tho de
ceased was born in Scotland, in the
vicinity of Edonburgh, some seventy
five years ago, and came to this
conntry twenty-three years since. Ho
is the father of a large and respectable
family all of whom survive to mourn
his loss. He was an exemplary and
highly esteemed citizen, father and
husband, and will long be remembered
by those who had the pleasure of his
acquaintances. While in Scotland be
belonged to the established church of
bis native home. Since his arrival in
America he has been indentified with

"Are tbey not all miuhteringspirila
sent forth to minister to tbeta who
shall be heirs of salvation?" Oar
earthly sight oftentimes beholds to-day
what appears to be a promfae.blighted.
But is there a real blight ? Have pa
rental devotion, fillial fidelity, personal
obligation weif met? has culture, and ;
development been wasted ? Has God
no fields of usefulness ; , no career of
triumph but for those which aro known
but in part? Has he no use for snch
as our dear young friends, whom God
gave to parents and friends, who now
mourn, "but nof. without hope?" or
such who are to-day embodiod in mor
tality ; or those dear young girls,
whoae bodies slumber in the dust, but
whesA spirits doubtless to-day have
their triumphs among the blessed?
Are these souls who pant for confiic t ;
these spirits which courted heroic ac
tivity ; these youthful hearts that
flamed with holy ambition, made over
merely into the passive, when they
have thrown off the clay garment? or
are they not made over into a higher
order of being to be acted opon, aud
to receive greater powers, tq perform
work which they were incapable of
performing while weighed down with
the clay ? Has not God suitable em
ployment ; no achievements to make ;
no conditions of afinily for the brill
iant young man or maideo, when lie
takes them to himself; I answer
yes ; an "Eternal yes," Educate,
nurture, cultivate, young men and
ladies, for the grace merely, or for
work beyond the relmsof the grave?
I answer : for glorious work beyord
the grave, as well as for these narrow
fields which we behold.
Let them go from the midst of ad
miring friends ; let them go, although
we love them much, when the Master
calls them ; let them go with our
Hallelujahs, as they arise on their
Heavenward flight to other spheres,
aod achievements.
How has God honored parents and
children. He had innumerable
angelo, all the Prophets, all the Apos
tles, and an innumerable company of
Saints, but none of these can do the
appropriate work of these three dear
young friends. No, but God has a
special work a special mission for
them to fill, or errand to send them
upon. He wanted thoe who were
brought up from infancy under relig
ious influence, and moral excellency,
and advanced to the point reached by
them. Dear Father and Mother, God
wanted your precious children, and
vou, years ago, laid them upon God's
Alter ; and your children are not per
mitted to come down from the hallowed
mount of God to dwell with you on
earth. No, they have gene beyond
earth, to fairer climes and brighter
skie?, and from skies serene and fair a
voictt is heard, crying: "higherl higher I
and higher still !" To this real watch
word of life they give a more triumph
ant shout not wasted, not lost, but
gone up to do the more glorious work
of the Master. The contents of no
Alabaster box of Ointment poured
forth on the head of Jesus, has been
wasted or lost. Work still for Christ,
and in that work be forever glorified
Not wasted ; no, the Master had need
of them.
