"Don't put it in the paper." This I a
remark that is often made to newspaper
men by people who know things of interest
to the public, uut have an idea that the In
formation is either unimportant, or that
tney may be accused of peddling out news.
Whatever is of interest to a number of peo

J. L. Jennings, Paint Rock, Oonohb

follows: "Enclosed find $2 30 for the

very well pleased with the paper." He
adds: Stock are looking very well yet.
Most all the cattle of this country have

Will Burleson has shown us a circular ad
dressed to members of the Burleson family
in all parts of the United Slates, proposing
the holding of a re-union of the family at
the Colosseum Baptist church, in New Or
leans, on the 19th of February. We learn
from the circular that the first of the name
who came to America was Aaron Burleson,
a native of Wales. He came to North Caio-
lina in 1722. ' . The family are now scattered
all over the South, and we noticed one
member who signed the circular hailed from
Minnesota, and so in Texas parlacne is a
"Yankee." The Elliotts, Hardemans and
others related to the Burlesons are included
in the invitation. These re-unions of old
pioneer families have become quite common
in the older States, and the one proposed at
Now Orleans, if properly set on foot would
unquestionably furnish an occasion of much
interest. ;

Editob Fbbb Pbxbs: It is hard for a cor
respondent to write unless he has something
of interest, at least it is so with the poor
scribbler here, for it produces such a strain
upon his imagination. Fortune has not
blessed him with wealth and a superfluity of
intellect , so as to burst upon tho world, as
it were, and startle the stupid inhabitants of
this our beloved land to an active and cuter,
prising life. So not having been born heir
to those accidental and natural inheritances
we are content to walk. We have always
thought the plodding man the surest of suc
cess. This is beautifully illustrated in the
story of the hare and the tortoise, with
which every school boy, we presume, is ac
quainted.
Sine it is not our lot to wield an elegant
pen, but to guide the plow and "tickle" the
soil with the hoe, we pride ourself in so do
ing, and speak encouragingly to the hardy
sons of toil, in speaking praise of our suc
cess, in comparing our own rapidly develop
ed country with those of other sections.
Within the last decade we have grown from
a few sparsely settled farms to an almost
thickly settled community. W hear of
hard times, but we say, "courage, friend,
there ia hope in the future." Why, just
think of it, notwithstanding the seemingly
short crops within the last two years, com
pared to '82. we have a plenty to eat, and a
good deal of respectability, for where ia the
man more respected by the merchant than
th farmer? Bo courageous voung man, we
are going to hav a good tim. W eee

population of ten thousand; then we can
carry our surplus of eggs, butter, chickens,
etc, and get a good price, and hav a plenty
of money to bny the baby a coat and then
the baby will amila and make our hearts
leap for joy, and our good wives will smile
and look sweet, and call us blessed of men.
Let ns say wa dost wish to trample on any
body's feelings while speaking of th baby.
Thar is nothing that so enlivens a boose

him into so much activity as tha soil of

Fall Particular of th Death af Hon.
tknajler loirai.
Camion, Jan. 11 Press specials
from Mankato. Mm., aayst Ex-Vloa.
President hcbuylar Colfax drod dead la
the gentlemen's waiting-room of the Omaha
railway depot at this lilac at iu. o'ulooa
this morning. - II had arrived from Walls,
a town on Ui Milwaukee ft 8t Paul rait
road, and bad walked to th Omaha depot,
a diatanoa of three quarters of a mile. Aa
be arrived at th platform of th latter de
pot he ashed a baggagemau the way to the
gentlemen's waltiug-rooiu. These were (be
last words he oUt-red, He walked into the
waitlug-room and seemed very much out of
breath, but did not speak to any one. Af-
ter stepping Inside he walked np to a map
on the wall, aud after perusing it for a
while, walked across th room to window
and looked out for a abort time. He tbea
sat dawn with his overcoat on hi lap, and
crossed his logs. Ther wer three persons
In the depot at th tim. A gentleman sit
ting opposite noticed that Mr. Colfax looked
vary pale, but look no special notio until
he saw th 1b crossed over tba other drop.
and then ther wa a pitching forward of
th body to th floor, it was apparent by
the appearano of Mr. Colfax's features
that be had been stricken by death. Seve
ral persons rushed np as the gentleman call,
ed for b(lp, but to all interrogations Mr.
Colfax remained spMobless, only groaning
with each respiration. The window wer
thrown up and th door opened, and th
oold winter air rushed In, but th breath of
th prostrate man grew fainter and fainter,
and. before it was realised, had stopped al
together. Th surrounding geutleineu
raised th body, and laid it on a settee, bat
it was evident life had departed. Drs.
Warder and Jacoby wer called, but were
too late to render any assistano. No on
present knew Mr. Colfax, and he was only
identified by letters and papers found ia his
possession. Th new spread rapidly, and
the entire town was aroused. To bear that
ex-Vice-Presideut Colfax was lying dead at
the Omaha depot was enough to attract
crowds of men, women and children, who
came in throngs and gased on his prostrate
remains. No one xnew where he came from
or where he was going, and the dead states
man lav in his last sleep as much alone as
the veriest stranger in the land. It was sup
posed he was out on a lecturing tour, and
intending to take the 11 o'clock train for the
West The body was taken In charge by
the Odd Fellows, with wbioh organization
Mr. Colfax was connected, and taken to the
house of D. Harrington, where it was prop
erly oared for. Word was immediately sent
to South Bend, Ind., and advices cam this
afternoon that some one would be up at
onoe to take the body in charge. President
Arthur was also notified. It is supposed
that the extreme cold, the subsequent heat,
and the over-exertion caused a stoppage of
the flow of blood to the heart.
A coroner's jury was called together this
afternoon, and a verdict rendered in accord
ance with the facts, that death resulted from
heart disease.
This evening the remains were laid in state
at the residence of Dr. Harrington, and
large parties of citizens called to view the
face of the distinguished dead. At 10 o'
clock a procession was formed to escort the
remains to the Northwestern depot, made
up of the civil authorities in the city, the
militia, the common council, and an escort
of mounted citizens. The casket contain
ing the body was placed on a special car, in
charge of L. B. Hunt and S. Patterson, and
started for South Bend.
The remains were received at Chicago
with public honom, though a snow storm
was prevailing, which continued while they
were en route. The funeral was set for
Saturday morning last and Ex-Governor
Hendricks, Governor Gray and others were
to attend as pall-bearers; but though it was
postponed till half-part 6. p- m., the trains
were so delayed by the wintry storms that
they failed to reach their destination in
time.

On the subject of legal advertising,
sheriff's constable's, guardians, and
in fact all sales oi real estate by
decree of court, tho Coreicana Courier
says : "The proper advertising of all
such sales in some regular newspaper
for not less than six weeks, would be
an act of justice to every poor man,
minor or orphan who might come
within the jurisdiction of the law, for
it would effectually expose the scheme
of sharpers who are looking for "soft
snaps" and give the sale such publi
city as to insure returns approximat
ing the value of the property sold.
Such a law is one of the most import
ant measures which can come before
our legislature for consideration,
and we trust the measure will receive
prompt and intelligent attention."
