A sad drowning tteeident occurred on

Cook being Obliged to Visit the 'pity on•

His business kept him half an hour

The funeral took place on Tuesday
at 8 o'clock to Mount Pleasant ceme-

additional pathgs to thiaad occurrence
is the fact that about a week ago Mrs.

Taggart did not puzzle the big fellows;
who took very kindly to the variety of
urves which he servedup. Agnew,
the first man to hat, hit the ball which
apparently went through Litckie's an-
aton3Y and got to first and completed
the circuit on a few over throws. Mc -
Mumble took his base on balls, Wheat-
ley, Hoover, Blackall, Bruce and Sere -

on bases. Johnny Miller went to bat
and straightened out an inshoot which

minute later and when the side was re-
tired they had eleven runs.- Nothing

my thoughts in regard to that good

everything was so clean and orderly, -
though some of the inmates are in very
poor health. I had no sooner got
there than the physician came.' as it
was his day of visiting the sick of the
Houle,. and I had the privilege of bo-
ng with.. 'hird when he made
the round of his patients. He.
seeins to he it special favorite
with thern. . His kind, genial dis-
position and his skill in his profession,
make hini a very suitable Person •for -
the position. I refer to • the present
Mayor of Clinton, Dr. Shaw. just '
word or two about Mmand Mrs,French,
who have the charge of the House. 1
think they are the right" persons in the •
right place. Mr. French is a yery
shrewd man. Ile knows his, position-
andhow to keep it, and / think OW
much praise cahnot be given to him
for the way he manages things there,
hat. is ;judging 'from the knowledge I
have of affairs, Mrs. Frenth is a vary
kind-hearted person. She seems to en.
ter into sympathy with the poor, 'stlf-
feting, old people and ts very highly
spoken, o'by • the •inmates, in
fact I think by eyeryone that
becornee acquainted with her, I
would like to give a few thoughts abotit
the farm, bow it is managed and how
it looks at, the Present time. Being a
fatneer I think I have somewhat of it
torrect idea how things should be man-
aged. I was very much pleased with
the present appearitnce of the crops,
knowing the plaee so well before it
was purchased for that purpose The
land being so dirty and run down, I
ita 'very much surprised to see the
crops that were on it Everything has
been done in a uniform way, The root
crop Was put in so,pice and straight '
and even, and looking:so clean I had to
come to the conclusion that certainly'
French is & praetical farmer. It is
surprising to me to think that he can
grow such mops on that land that has
been so run clOwn. I don't see hole he
is going to keep it tip without the man -
ere 'neeessary for the require.
silents, I think the committee waders
mistake when they did not Wild a much
larger barn, So that there might be suf-
ficient stabling to feed cattle. 1 think
that is the best and cheapest way of
keepingup our farms and it could be
done very well there, There is eta. -
