Just to remind everyone -- Charlotte's "Pearls" are now archived permanently at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/usa_genealogy/mo_newspaper.htm -------------------------------- Jefferson Democrat Hillsboro, Jefferson county, Missouri Part II WEDNESDAY, 25 MARCH 1885 The Meredith WILLIAMS farm on Big River, consisting of five-ninths of 170 acres, was sold at trustee's sale last Saturday. Sam RUSSELL was the purchaser, at something over $1,800. Sam's money is as good as anybody's, but we think it is a pity that some man, who has a family to support did not get the place. S.S. BITTICK made affidavit that he did not think he could get justice in Central township, and venue in his case was changed to 'Squire BRYAN of Big River township. He is up for preliminary examination on charge of shooting at, with intent to kill, Josipha WILSON, his uncle by marriage. We believe we voice the sentiment of nearly all Central Township when we say that we hope the matter will be amicably and peaceably arranged and settle, without bringing it to court. Our fatman took his first trip of the season, Last Friday, and went to Kimmswick. On arriving there he found most of the people had gone to St. Louis, and after chatting a while with Martin MEYER, John WINOM, 'Squire WATERS and others, he boarded the first south bound train for Pevely. He spend the day pleasantly at the latter place, and swears by his patron saint that that two can furnish more fat women than any other town of its size. As he believes that this overproduction of flesh is caused by the use of BRUHN's flour, ENGLEBACH's good meat, Louis GREVE's extraordinary cheap groceries, W. JEUDE's wholesome sausage, George's strengthening cordials, Tom CHARLES' rich dairy milk and Dr. McNUTT's medical skill, he has almost made up his mind to remove to Pevely, buy GREVE's printing outfit and, with Major DUNKLIN and Col. GREVES' assistance, start a paper devoted to the welfare of the nation. A dispatch to the Globe-Democrat - Dated at De Soto, March 20, - says that Harvey JOHNSON, alias Wiley WALLACE BUTLER, was arrested at De Soto by R.W. WORTHERN, Sheriff of Pulaski county, Ark., and Policeman Sam SPRIGHT of Little Rock, and taken south on the morning express. There are three indictments against JOHNSON at Little Rock - one for larceny, one for murder and one for arson. Last Spring, while in the employ of a hardware firm of that city, he stole some hardware, but succeeded in eluding arrest, and he returned to his home in Little Rock in November last. With the threat to kill her if she did not comply, he endeavored to extort money from his wife. She refused, when he beat her, and ended by cutting her throat and setting fire to the house to conceal the crime. Parties attracted to the building by the flames saw the body of the woman lying upon the floor in a pool of blood, and succeeded in rescuing her from the flames, but not until she was badly burned. As the woman recovered, the charge of murder will be withdrawn, and JOHNSON will be tried for attempted murder and arson. He has been in De Soto during the past four months, and has the reputation among his employers of being a faithful man. The following demands against the county were allowed: W.R. DONNELL, county clerk $46.00 Geo. D. BARNARD & Co. stationery 24.75 R.W. McMULLIN, printing and publishing 30.80 Franz GRIMM, repairing Lemay bridge 30.40 James MARTIN, roadoverseer 77.40 Peter STROUP, roadoverseer 156.15 Henry GROB, roadoverseer 33.65 John CARREY, roadoverseer 64.44 John J.

Now that I more or less understand the List and how it is and is not sent, finally understanding that the "digest" is no more. I can get back to the business of sharing the Pearls with everyone. Charlotte -------------- Just to remind everyone -- Charlotte's "Pearls" are now archived permanently at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/usa_genealogy/mo_newspaper.htm -------------------------------- Jefferson Democrat Hillsboro, Jefferson County, Missouri 18 MARCH 1885 The following we copy from the St. Louis "Westliche Post" of the 9th inst.: Louis REDICKER, who lived quite a while at Manchester, procured a divorce from his wife, who had instituted suit against him for brutal treatment, recently, and the day following the decree of separation he married a lady in Jefferson county. Before the honeymoon was over, REDICKER began to enforce his authority in striking manners. Mrs. R. made short work of the matter, and put the obstreperous man out doors. He returned to Manchester, picked up new courage and, on Sunday, returned to Jefferson county for the purpose of bringing about a reconciliation with his new love. The reception and farewell he received, will probably never be forgotten, as she received and persuaded him to leave with a cocked revolver. Tally one for Jefferson county and her brave Women! Last Friday 'Squire SHEIBLE received a message from 'Squire RANKIN, requesting him to come to De Soto and assist in a preliminary examination. The case was brought by the State of Missouri, on information of the Queen's Insurance Co. of England, charging F.P. BROWN with embezzling $124 of said companies funds while employed as local agent for Jefferson county. After hearing the evidence, the Justices came to the conclusion that BROWN had not committed the crime he was charged with, and that he was only indebted to said company; that a civil action on account would have been the proper procedure, and defendant was discharged. Prosecuting Attorney GREEN made all any one could have made out of the case, and was assisted by Mr. PHILLIPS, while the defence was conducted by Judge DINNING, who was assisted by Mr. PARTIN. De Soto has not been so excited since the war as she was last Wednesday. The occasion for it was the arrest of Mr. Egbert M. CARVER, manager of the bank at that place. Three officers, armed with a warrant issued by the Governor, issued upon a requisition from the Governor of New York, marched into the bank, handcuffed Mr. CARVER and marched him to the caboose of the local freight, on which they conveyed him to St. Louis. A big effort was made to procure someone authorized to issued a writ of habeas corpus, but it failed. Judge THOMAS not having returned from Washington City and Judge ELKINS getting to the railroad too late. De Soto feels that Mr. CARVER was treated in a very indignant and ungentlemanly manner by his captors; but not having been present, we are not prepared to discuss the point. The officers stated he was indicted in Otsego Co., N.Y., some years ago for obtaining from a bank, of which he was cashier, $20,000 by forgery, and also for obtaining from other banks, by same means, $10.000 more. They claim to have been on the hunt of him ever since, and they are confident he is the right man. He has a wife and three children in De Soto, and the affair is doubtless sad to them. If Mr. CARVER is the bad man he is represented by the New York authorities to be, the citizens of De Soto have much to be thankful for and, at any rate, should want to know the facts before taking any further risks with him. DEATHS and BIRTHS - The following deaths were reported the past week: Date Name Age Feb'y 7 John W. FRAZIER 44 years Feb'y 27 Margaret I.

CAPE's daughter, Emma, a promising girl, died of measles, Thursday, after a short illness, and was buried last Saturday. Mr. C. lost is oldest daughter last Fall. Another little boy at W.J. BELL's.

CAUTION NOTICE - All persons are hereby cautioned not to purchase or in any way interfere with the following personal property, now on the farm of Christian TOCHTERMANN. High Ridge, Jefferson county, Mo., as the same belongs to me, viz.

F.P. BROWN, De Soto. WEDNESDAY, 25 MARCH 1885 Mrs. Hermann SIEMERS is very sick. A physician from St. Louis was down to see her last Monday. Dr. HARBISON recently found a KEY that weighed 8 1/2 pounds. It is now in possession of Mr. and Mrs. Charles KEY of Big River. In the Probate Court last week, Messrs J.B. DOVER, John D. HEINEN and John T. GIFFORD were appointed commissioners to set off the homestead for the widows of J.R. McCULLOCH, deceased, and Henry PREWETT, deceased. The will of Valentine MATHEIS was probated last Saturday. He gives all to his wife during her life, and at her death it is to be divided among his three children. We understand that two of the children are deaf and dumb. </HTML>

Carole Goggin and I have revisited and spent three days probing JARVIS Graveyard in March 2007 and found many new monuments. Below are the monuments we found, many buried and unknown, so please update your records. We feel that there are possibly some more and plan to visit again when time permits.

POESTNER boy WEDNESDAY, 11 MARCH 1885 Mrs. Wm. MOCKBEE of Pevely, died last Friday morning, of Pneumonia. LICENSED TO MARRY - John PERADORE and Mary GIBSON, Jasper N. McGEE and Sarah R. BUCHER, John W. STRUNK and Ester M. SMITH. Mr. Valentine MATTHEWS, an old citizen of Pevely, died last week, of Kidney disease. He was a stone mason by trade, and an industrious, useful citizen. Mrs. Wm. CLARK feels like putting on the usual badge of mourning. Her old riding mare died last week, aged 27 years. Mrs. C. owned the animal from the time it was a colt. Mr. John ARNOLD and Mrs. COURTNEY of Clay County, Mo., have been visiting at James T. MOSS', the past week. Mr. Arnold is step-father and Mrs. COURTNEY half sister of Mrs. MOSS. Our friend, Joseph BLAKE of Sandy, has had more than his share of afflictions. His wife and fifteen year-old daughter both died in a week. The disease was a very malignant type of measles, very similar to what was known as "army measel" during the war. Delafayette HUSKEY of Big River, son of John HUSKEY, Sr., lost his life in a singular manner last Thursday. He was chopping timber for rails, when a tree fell and hung on the limb of another. He started to chop the second tree, when the limb broke suddenly, and before he could get out of the way, he was struck on the head and instantly killed. He leaves quite a large family. Last Friday afternoon Wenzel WALLACK was on his way home from St. Louis, having a jug of kuemmel in his wagon. When he got to SWANTNER's Blacksmith shop on Salem creek, he stopped and Wenzel PINTNER and other neighbors assisted in drinking the liquor. WALLACK and PINTER got into the wagon and started for home. Before going far WALLACK fell out, and when found was unable to stand. When the team PINTER was found in the wagon dead. A post mortem examination was held by Drs. THURMAN and WILLIAMS, and an inquest by 'Squire DILLON. the verdict was that PINTER came to his death by causes unknown. There seems to be considerable mystery about the matter, but no evidence of foul play. On petition of at least fifty voters of Rock township, the court ordered a vote in said township, to be had on the 20th of March, on the adoption of the act "for organization for road purposes." Election judges were appointed as follows - Maxville, George ZIEGLER, J.M. FREDERITZIE, Hubert BECKER and W.J. KIRK; Bohemian Church, Jacob SCHWALLA, J. BROSSARD, Jonas YATES and Frank GAMACHE; Kimmswick, X. ARNOLD, B. RICHARDSON, J.W. NORTH and L.E. WATERS; Antonia, Geo. MARTIN, Wm. BUECHTING, X. KOHLER and E. BERGMEYER. </HTML>

Just to remind everyone -- Charlotte's "Pearls" are now archived permanently at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/usa_genealogy/mo_newspaper.htm -------------------------------- Jefferson Democrat Hillsboro, Jefferson County, Missouri WEDNESDAY, 25 FEBRUARY 1885 J.H. PARSONS, traveling agent for the Missouri Republican, took dinner, last Tuesday, with his cousin, Mr. N. SLAWSON. Mr. P. was on his way to Texas, where he will spend his time in introducing the Old Reliable, being the only authorized traveling agent of that organ. The citizens of De Soto seem to be turning aristrocratic, there being many of them who have visited friends and relatives in foreign countries, even to Germany. On the 1st of March Henry EULER well known to most of the people of our county, will start for Europe, and it is also rumored that H. HOHENTHAL intends to visit Jerusalem some time in the future. Mrs. OTTINGER of Baltimore, and Mrs. DILLENBERG of St. Louis, were visiting their sister, Mrs. H. HOHENTHAL, this week. Mrs. OTTINGER, Mrs. HOHENTHAL's eldest sister, has not been west for 20 years. She expresses herself as highly pleased with De Soto, notwithstanding the weather has been so severe that she saw little of the town and vicinity while here. Andy OWENS, who has been reported dead, paid our town a visit this week. He looks well and hearty, but has been very low with a spell of pneumonia. S. STEWART and L. OGLE had a pitch battle here, one day last week, oer a game of cards. The result was S. carried away a pair of black eyes, and OGLE a bleeding finger. DEATHS and BIRTHS - The following deaths were reported the past week: Date Name Age Jan 27 Lillian. BUTLER 2 months Feb 9 Jane SWALLOW 50 years Feb 18 Charles SCOTT 4 months Feb 15 L.A.H. BREWSTER 6 years BIRTHS Date Name of Mother Sex Feb 18 Mrs. Rudolph HAVERSTICK boy Feb 13 Mrs. John N. COOK boy Feb 8 Mrs. Thomas NULL girl Feb 13 Mrs. John BICKEMANN girl WEDNESDAY, 4 MARCH 1885 Judge Joseph J. WILLIAMS, who was in bed last week with a severe billious attack, is out again. Mr.W.R. IRWINE resigned his position as teacher of the Kimmswick public school and started, last Thursday, for the Indian Territory, where he has some interests that require his attention. LICENSED to MARRY - John HULS and Ella WALKER, Lemuel GROVES and Mrs. Narcissa J. TURLY, Ferdinand Wes HUBER of Jefferson county and Miss Amelia T. OELBERT of Perry County. Frank Adolph HEMME died last Monday night - aged 34 years, 3 months and 2 weeks - of pneumonia, at the residence of his brother-in-law, Godfrey BUCHER, near DE Soto. His remains will be interred in the Hillsboro cemetery, this evening, at about 2 o'clock. Through some mistake we omitted at the proper time to publish the following births, which were filed on the 25th of January: To Mrs. Philip MEYER, a daughter, to Mrs. Albert PITZ, a daughter, and to Mrs. John OHEIM, a Cleveland voter "No, Onkel, du machst es aber zu bunt." The James WIDEMAN farm, on Big River near Morse's Mill, was sold by the Sheriff in partition, last Thursday. The tract contains 160 acres and brought $2,755. W.R. WILLIAMS was the purchaser. Rily has been trying to get a Big River farm for some time, and we presume he is happy. On the 17th of February last, while A. SEYPOHLTOWSKY, Jr., was driving a four-horse team along the road near the ARMBRUSTER schoolhouse, a tree fell across the road, bruising the young man's hand and leg and considerably injuring one of the horses. Man and beast are recovering and Mr. S. is grateful to his Creator that it was no worse. SEYPOHLTOWSKY a good Polish name - is enough to ward of most any calamity or enemy. OBITUARY - February 15, 1885, Stephen S., son of Solomon B. and Babecca STRONG(?), at his father's residence, near Vineland, aged 21 years, 5 months and 15 days. Deceased calmly passed away after a long spell of consumption. He called his last friends around his bedside and told them that he could not stay with them but a short time; the Lord would soon take him home, and he anted them all to try and meet him in Heaven. Thus passed away a son, brother and beloved friend of those who stood by him in this solemn hour. But our loss is his gain. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, for they rest from their labor." May we all be prepared to meet him on the shore of sweet deliverance. J.D.S. Dr.P.E. JONES, nephew of Mrs. E.S. PYLE, stopped to visit his aunt on his way home from the New Orleans Exposition. He resides in Redwing, Minnesota and, like many others visited New Orleans and friends and relatives on the same trip. R. BURROUGHS and family, old residents of De Soto, are thinking of removing to California. Mr. B. is known to many of our citizens as the hardware merchant of Main street, his being one of the first hardware stores in De Soto. All regret to see them leave. Mrs. SNOWDELL lately presented her husband with a lovely valentine. We have not heard what the weight was, nor whether they call it Bob or Lucy. Dr. BRADFIELD bears his age remarkably well. Speaking to a friend of the recent cold weather, he remarked, that he had seen one hundred Winters, but this was the worst he had ever seen. Yesterday our friend, Jake SCHWEIZER of Limitville, paid us a farewell visit, informing us that the firm of SCHWEIZER Bros. was about closed out. He spoke of taking in the New Orleans exposition first, thence to Vera Cruz and from there to Africa, intending to wind up with a visit to the heathen Chinee. Jake is a good fellow, able to take care of himself wherever he goes. We fell sad as the hour of departure draws nigh - more so than we knew he was about to get married.

We have heard no particulars in regard to his sickness, but it was of short duration, for we saw him less than a week before, apparently in good health. Mr. FLYNN was well known to many of our citizens. A good many citizens of this county may feel an interest in George L. JOHNSTON, former Recorder of this county. He latest news we have about him is that he failed in business at Springfield, Mo., and moved to Nevada, Vernon county, where he is running a small restaurant. M.A. DOUTHETT, in a letter to Mr. HOFFMANN of De Soto, sends his kind regards to all his old friends in Jefferson county. He is now living at Eureka, Nevada, and at the last election was elected School Commissioner of his county. He talks of visiting this county in the spring. LICENSE TO MARRY - James ROSS and Caroline HARTMAN, John T. MURPHY and Sophia T. CASTILE, J.A. HOLMAN and Loyada SCAGGS, William FRAZIER and Sarah S. MASON, W.D. McANALLY and Lutitia HUSKEY, James CLARK and Mary BROOKS, Wm. J. McFREY and Lizzie P. HARRISON. Mr. KLEIN, from near Bonne Terre, spent a few days in Hillsboro last week. He rather a remarkable man, is 93 years old and as spry as if bout half that age. He has been on the Meramec, gathering medicinal roots and herbs, and walked in from there although he had a chance to ride in a buggy. Mr.R.G. WAGGENER, whom we mentioned last week as having been badly burned, died of his injuries and was buried last Thursday. He was probably the oldest citizen of the county. He drew a pension as a soldier of the war of 1812. We expect to be furnished with amore extended review of his life. If we could turn good wishes into money, we would soon get rich. All the way from Denver, Colorado, George EDINGER forwards a certificate of deposit to our credit. It figures up 1885, but consists of wishes for happy days, &c. However, if all our subscribers would pay up as promptly as George does, we would have no cause to complain. William HENRY, Deputy Sheriff from Vandalia, Ill., came last Friday with the necessary papers and took Frank APPLEGATE back to the jail at that place. Nearly eighteen months ago APPLEGATE, with several others, broke jail at Vandalia. Four others have since been caught, APPLEGATE was taken in at De Soto two or three weeks ago. He is charged with grand larceny. On Tuesday of last week the residence of Peter STROUP, on the road between Hillsboro and Hematite, was burned with all its contents. Mr. STROUP and family had gone to Dry Creek on a visit, and the fire occurred during their absence. It is supposed that it caught from the fireplace, although they thought they had covered up the fire very carefully and securely before leaving. The house and contents were insured for $350. Monday evening, December 22nd, Wm. MAUPIN and Isom WILLIAMS started home from LEUBRING's store, in Franklin county, very much under the influence of liquor. They traveled along till a short distance beyond where their roads separated, when they both fell off their horses. WILLIAMS was found shortly afterwards and taken home, his feet and hands badly frozen, but it was thought by our informant that he would recover. MAUPIN lay all night in the snow and when found next morning life was nearly extinct. He only lived a moment after being taken to his house. His horse went straight home that night, but it seems that his folks did not deem it worth while to go and look for him. Mr. MAUPIN was tolerably old, but still quite active. His family are all grown up and pretty well provided for. Both men lived in Franklin, but have many relatives in this county. DEATHS and BIRTHS - The following deaths were reported the past week: Date Name Age November 17 Harry M. PYLE 2 years November 27 Arthur CASTILE 2 years December 15 Bernhart NOLLMANN 4 years December 16 Frank VIEHLAND 4 years December 18 Mabel GRAHAM 2 months December 11 Minna SCAGGS 19 years December 11 Mrs. Laura DONNELL 46 years BIRTHS Date Name of mother Sex November 25 Mrs. John WOODS boy December 9 Mrs. Thomas DODSON boy On the 25th day of December, 1884, at the residence of the bride's father - J.P.

In conclusion the 'Squire said, "May you glide peacefully down the stream of life, without a ripple to mary our happiness; and when you reach the ocean of eternity, may you find the pearly gates ajar to receive you into the paradise of God, around the great white throne, eternal in the heavens." Rev. McKAY performed the ceremony that made Joseph A. BURGESS and Miss Lucy EDWARDS man and wife, on the 18th inst. WEDNESDAY, 7 JANUARY 1885 Polk WILLIAMS and family moved, last week, from Morse's Mill to Crystal City. Perry McCORMACK of Plattin is spending the Winter in Texas, hoping to benefit his health. December 15th 'Squire MARX united in wedlock, at Maxville, John HAMPEL and Mrs. Augusta BENDER. John MORGAN, father of Mrs. Thomas LEE, died on the 24th ultimo, aged 78 years. He was buried at the ENGLAND graveyard. Frank BOUGHTON has been confined to his room with sickness for more than two weeks. We hope he will soon be able to be about again. </HTML>

HUNT and Susan A. SMITH, Joseph SATTERWHITE and Jane COLE, L.W. McMULLIN and Annie McDONALD. MARRIED - At the residence of Mr. John SKAGGS on Plattin, December 24, 1884, J.A. HOLMAN and Miss Lucinda SKAGGS, by Rev. J.T. McMULLIN. Another unfortunate. Our friend, Mr. Charles WALDRON, mourns the death of his good wife, which occurred one day of last week. He has our sympathy. James H. WAGGENER starts to-day for Washington City. We understand he has a position of some sort there, and we hope he will do well. We expect to hear from him occasionally. Christopher EHLERS of Rock Creek died last week. His age is estimated about 102 years. He served under Napoleon BONAPARTE, and has resided in this county about a half century. Married, at the parsonage in Hematite, by Rev. EMORY, December 16, 1884, J.S. VINYARD and Miss E.C. SMETZER; in De Soto, at the residence of Wm. HARTMAN, December 24, 1884, James ROSS and Miss Caroline HARTMAN. This is to certify that on November 21, 1884, I insured my dwelling and contents in the Marine Insurance Company of St. Louis, through their agent, A.J. PHILLIPS of Hematite, Mo. On December 23rd, my house and contents were totally destroyed by fire. My loss was promptly adjusted and policy paid in full on December 31, 1884. Frank STROUP. William BEARD, the saddler, is now an inmate of the county poor farm, and looks as though he will not live much longer. William was of good family, was tolerably smart and had a good trade; but when he got a little money he preferred going on a spree rather than laying any by for future support. How many are there, who are traveling the same road? The following births were filed the past week - January 2nd, to Mrs. Patrick RUHERT, a son; December 20th, to Mrs. Chs. NELSON, a son; Mrs. Michael FARRELLY, a son; December 24th, Mrs. Louis HEIM, a daughter; 27TH, Mrs. J.M. SMITH, a girl; 18th, Mrs. Henry JOHNSON, a son; 12th, Mrs. B.F. ENGLAND, a daughter; November 29th, Mrs. Wm. SWENK, two sons. Dr. AUERSWALD's anticipation of a pleasant and profitable holiday season was sadly marred by the death of his brother, Edwin, which occurred in St. Louis, December 18th. Deceased had just returned from a trip to California in search of health, and left his wife and babe in Marinetta, Wisconsin. The Doctor had the remains embalmed and accompanied them to the home of the bereaved wife, who was too sick to come to St. Louis. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1885 Freight trains NOs. 616, bound south, and 615, bound north, collided near the Mill Creek iron bridge, three miles south of Blackwell on the 6th inst. Engineer BURKE sustained injuries which will lay him up for a time, and Billy WOODWARD, who recently returned to De Soto, was through from the top of the train, receiving a bad sprain in one leg. Engineer PRIMM and his fireman, MAUPIN, jumped before the collision. Both engines were consolidators and were both damaged badly. Fifteen box cars were badly torn up. When the representative of the Watchman arrived on the scene, in company with Chief Dispatcher HINDMAN and J.B. SHELTON, appearances indicated that the road would be closed for at least 24 hours. The derrick car had been sent to Charleston the day before, and the toll car and a few men were all Mr. TOOLE had to work with for six or seven hours. The best of the work was done with these however, and the road opened in thirteen hours. A colored man, supposedly a tramp, was asleep in a box car; the car was derailed, thrown from the tract and broken in half, and the man deposited on the bank uninjured, with a few scratches about the face. The escape was almost as miraculous as BURKE's, who was found lying along side his engine with three or four broken up box cars piled up over him. BURKE's escape certainly was an interposition of Providence. The company sustained very heavy damage, one of the engines being new. - De Soto WATCHMAN. EXECUTOR'S NOTICE - Notice is hereby given that letters testamentary on the estate of Joseph HARVEY, deceased, were granted to the undersigned, on the 5th day of January, 1885, by the Probate court of Jefferson county, Missouri. All persons having claims against said estate are required to exhibit them to the executrix within one year after the date of said letters or they may be precluded from any benefit of such estate; and if such claims be not exhibited within two years from the date of this publication, they shall be forever barred. Patrick KAVANAUGH, Executor. January 14, 1885. WEDNESDAY, 14 JANUARY 1885 Mrs.J.A. JACKSON of Cape Girardeau County, is here on a visit to her daughter, Mrs. SHEIBLE. G.W. JONES, while enjoying the pleasures of the De Soto skating rink, one evening last week, fell and broke his left wrist. Neighbor WELCH is having quite a time of it right now. His wife has had a rising in her head, which has rendered her almost helpless and deaf, and her mother is also ill. Mr. DEER, an old gentleman residing near Hillsboro, has been afflicted with a disease greatly resembling smallpox. Dr. BREWSTER, however, seems satisfied that it isn't the red pest. S.B. STONG, of near Vineland, has a boy, who at 13 years of age, weighed 250 lbs.; now, at the age of nearly 20, he weighs less than 100, the poor fellow being a victim on consumption. Last Monday afternoon a fine looking blond young man and a pretty young lady stepped into our office and enquired for 'Squire SHEIBLE. Ten minutes later they left the office as man and wife. Their names were John DRISSELL and Caroline MARLEY. They have our best wishes. </HTML>
