Letter from Eichfield.
lhciiFiELD, March 5, 1879
Editor Sentinel ani Republican Since
rur last communication from this place,
considerable changes have been made. At
our Spring election (which was rather a
hotly contested one) nearly all new officers
were elected. Our Literary Society is sti'l
in a flourishing condition. A few weeks
azo there was a great eicitcment among tne
folks here, when it was rumored about that
Wash Amy had a bear shut up in his den at
Shade mountain, near Evendale. Many
were the plans laid to capture Mr. Brcin.
Osir town folks were greatly agitated, and
the name bear sotnied from every tongue.
Wild and romantic conversations were in
dulged in by the people, until they became
nearly exasperated in their own talk.Sev
rral times about a dozen men met fn town,
equipped with almost every sort of weapon ;
but (heir leader only laughed at them and
told them there was nothing in it, and so it
Was dropped.
TVitbin the past week Jacob W. H. Gray
bill shot tL,rce gray foxes at shade moun
tain. Yesterlay afternoon and this fore
noon cur worthy County Superintend ett
examined our schools. While Spring is
drawing nigL., many arc moving to and from
this place, and the people are lively prepir
idjj for the opening of Spring."
Lst month a number of 8ur citizens left
for Kansas, and from the letters they write,
we learn that they are already comfortab'.y
situated, and well ccttented, and highly
praise their wild and western homes. Others
are getting ready to go in the Spring.
1 he other evening our young folks had a
grand tirt:2 at the taffy party at W. B. Wi
ney's. Mrs. Win -y deserves the praise of
being competent to prepare, arrange and ea
tert Jn a sociable party.
G. S. Metterling has quite a number of
new buggies ready for sale. Mr. Mctter
Lng is an experienced and well known me
chanic, and has the praise of manufactur
ing a very good article both in style and
durability.

Puring a number of years pat, H 'nting
don papers told tbe public of the financial
misfortunes of Old Jimmy Walls," and
severely condemned certain Huntingdon
lawyers for having brought about his finan
cial ruin.. Some davs ago a train of cars
struck Mr. Walls aud so injured him that
he died from the effects of the injury. A
late paper from Huntingdon says : Somo
years ago Mr. Walls erected a handsome
monument to the men ory of his wife, and
at tbe same time had one erected for him
Aelf, having bis name and all but the time
of his death inscribed thereon. The peo

On Sunday afternoon a number of bojs,
andmen, were at the river shore in the
vicinity of the canal sluice, south of town.
Wiliiara Parker, a lad aged about 12 years,
son of . S. Parker, was at the edga of the
water, laving or washing his hmds in the
river. James Reiser stood further np on
the bank, and threw a stone that struck
William Parker on the bark of the head
with such force that the boy fe.l as if he
had been killed. Hoses Pannebaker saw
the boy fall forwtrd inU. the river, but did
oaf know the cause of the fill. Noticing
that he did not get up, he ran to the pros
trate lad and lifted bin; out of the water.
He was unconscious nearly ail that ttfter
noon, but gradually came to, and is now
partly restored to his usual health. Ij ad
dition to the blow on the back of the bead
the mark of a severe blow is seen on the
forehead of the boy, which was cauied by
the bead of the lad striking a etonetvlien
he fell forward into the river. It was a nar
row escape from death for the boy that was
struck, and a narrow escape from a deed
that would have been a dark shadow on the
life of the boy that threw the stone.
Tns decision of a court in India, " whst !
is a decision," is related, as follows, by Rev. j
H. M. Scudder, D. D-, who was for many i
ears a missionary in that far-off country : I
" Four men, partners in business, bought I
some cotton bales. That the rats miht ;
not destroy the cotton they purchased a j
cat. They agreed that each of the four
should own a particular leg of the cat; and
each adorned with beads and other orna-
ments the leg thus apportioned to him. I
Tbe cat, by an accident, injured one of its
legs. The owner of that member wound
around it a rag soaked in oil. The cat,
going too near the hearth, set this rag on
tire, and being in great pain rushed in
among the Cotton bales. here she was ac
customed to bunt rats. The cotton thereby
took tire and wts burned up. It was a total
loss. Tbe three other partners brought a
suit to recover the value of the cotton,
against the partner who owned this partic
ular leg of the cat. The judge examined
the case and decided tbns: l be leg that
had tbe oiled rag on it was hurt ; the cat
could not use that leg ; in fact, it held up
that leg, and ran with the other three legs.
The three unhurt legs, therefore, carried
the tire to tbe cotton, and are alone culpa
ble. The injured leg is not to hp blamed.
The three partners who owned the three
legs with which th? cat ran to tbe cotton
will pay the whoie value of the b-les to the
partner who was tbe proprietor of the in
jured leg.' "

A vert good story is told of the
late Admiral Goldsborongh with re
gard to the etiquette of visiting cards.
He was a bluff old sea-dog, and hated
sham and pretense. An airy young
diplomat, a great man of society and
fashion, called on the Admiral, and
finding him out, left, his card, with
the letters E. P. penciled on it The
brave Bait was puzzled thereby, and
when the young man accosted him on
the street and asked, "Did you get
my card, Admiral t" he shouted out
"Yes I and what's the meaning of E.
P. that you wrote on it t" "Oh, that
means en personne, that I 'called in
person.'" "It does, eh!" said the
Admiral, and went off in a mood of
disgusted meditation. In a few days
he returned the call by sending his
card around by a messenger, first
writing S. B. N. in one corner. Again
the two met. -"You received my
card, did you ?" inquired the Admi
rat " Yes, and what does S. B. N.
mean !" asked the polite young man.
' Sent by a nigger !" thundered the
Admiral -- .

port is sublimely preposterous. It
was from the start only a fpifbtion of
time. It was at most only an ephem

year. It, of necessity, depended on
the amount of credit to be obtained
and gullibility to bo founcL Having

BRITISH GRAIX TRADE.
Livebpool. Mar. 7. A leading grain cir
cular says : "The giain market continues
firm. In most provincial markets prices
have fnrther improved a shilling. In wheat
there is mure general confidence in baying
tor consumption in addition to a speculative
tendency. Several cargoes off-coast and
parcels on the spot were taken to hold at
extreme prices, or rather shore the last
quotations. The French markets are slowly
moving Upward. At to-day's market there
was a good attendance. Millers purchased
wheat ireely at an advance of a penny to
two pence percental for red aud white.
Some quantity of American sold to ariive.
Several lots were taken to hold over. Fine
brands of Hour are rather higher. In corn
there was only a t&oderate business with a
torn in favor of buyers."
