In the spring of 1861 a militar}' company known as the Sutton Dragoons was organized at Whitmore Lake. Geo. Sutton was captain and Philip Winegar first lieutenant.

It is said she feared she could not pass her examinations and took to the water in Orion lake.

Miss Reed was one of tlie smartest scholara in her class. Dr. Silas H. Douglas wishes it distinctly undorstood that he would not accept a position iu the university. He saysin bis letter tothe Free Press: "Uuder ordinary circumstancesit would have been a pleasure to die in the harness, in the service of the institution which has been for somany years flrst in my thoughts and aifections. But under the existing circumstances, after a separation of five years and at my time of life, I feel that in justice to myself. as well as to the university, this would not be best, and that under no circumstances could Í again assume my old position' 01 in fact any positiou in its faculty." The anecdote of the inquisitive mau who asked another now he lost hia leg, and, af ter having promised to ask no further questions, was told that it was "bit off," has been variously told, and often wrongly attributed. The incident is properly cold in Scribner for March, in a paper on Cople3', the American artist of '.he last century. The incident occurred between Brook Watson.afterward Lord Mayor of Londoa, and his servant, who, in pulling off his boot, was warned in vain that if he was not careful he would bring the ltg off too, - whieh, much to his astonishraent, he did. As a matter of fact. Watson's leg had been bitten off by a shark in the harbor of Havana; an event commemorated iu a famous picture by Copley, which is eugiaved with the above inenlioned papsr. Mrs. C. W. Rumuey, a gister of Mrs. Will Doty, of this city, is publishing a daily and weekly paper - The Durango Record - at Du-ango, Col.

Kutnney is a ready writer, and for several years was the Washington correspondent for a number of the leading daily papers in the country. That she ispossessed of indomïtable pluck, energy, and perseverance is evidenced by her efforts to establish a paper in the western wilds as it were. She has undertaken what many a man would have shrunk f rom, and as the country is said to be rich in minerals there is no doubt but what she has struck a bonanza. The Albany Argus says tbc play of "The Planter's Wife" grows in public favor with each presentation. Those who see it a second time always flnd new beauties ia its action, and are more pleased with it than at a firstseeing. Miss Thompson's work is most artistic throughout. In the first part of the second act, in her scène with her affianced, the only time throughout the drama when she is seen in tne repose of peace, without fear of farther perseculions, she is very arch and provokes great good humor among the audience. But, presently, when her lover's guest is presented and a mutual recoguition occurs, she rises even to grandeur in her interview with him. Frora that time to the close her acting is extremely emotional, and some of the scènes are very stron g. It would be impossible for any woman to act the part better than she. Among the early pioneers of Northfleld was Patrick Donovan, now aged 85 years who still resides on the land he took up f rom ihe government. Uncle Patrick, as he is called, settled in Northfleld ih 1828, and with his own hands cleared up the farm on whiuh lio now resides and owns. At that time it was a howling wilderness, and many a night did "Uncle Patriek" sleep at the door of his eabin - merely a blanket - armed only with a pitchfork to keep the wolves away. Atone time when he thought he had no neighbors nearer than the Sutton.s - tour miles south of his place - he heard the sound of the woodman's ax, and as it was something strange in that loeality he went to investígate, and fouud Orrison Leiand cutting logs to build a dwelling. They remaiued fast friends during the life of Mr. Leiand whose death occurred a few years ago, and uncie Orry had no more sincere mourner than Patrick Dono van. The bazar given by Company A was well attended each eveuing, and ïuesday night llie receipts at the door amounted to nearly $50.

This number is one of remarkable excellence, and the new editor, Rev. Mr. Taylor, has catered most successfully for the ediflcation and entertainment of his readers.
