George Woodard's little boy two years old, that swallowed some concentrated lye several months ago, died from the effects of it last Friday.
Mrs. Amos Barker died very suddenly and unexpectedly last Sunday at 2 o'clock. She was suffering with diphtheria but was walking about the house a few minutes before her death. Her body was consigned to rest in the Mount Vernon cemetery.
We have been placed under obligations to Mr. G. W. F. Church for a string of fish from his large and prolific fish pond. They were German carp and two years old. The question in regard to the quality of this fish seems to be an open one, yet those who have tried them in this vicinity are greatly impressed with their excellence, and think they compare favorably with the better varieties of fish. Mr. Church has thousands of fish, some of which are six years old.
W. P. McCann, agent of the Wabash and A. Snell, head clerk at the Trade Emporium, went to Urbana last Sunday with the Methodist conference excursion. How well they behaved is not yet reported.
