About two weens ago Mrs. John Edwards lost a needle and thread. A few days ago one of her cats began to look puny, and on Monday last the needle was found sticking out at the side of its neck. It was removed and his catsblp is all right except for the hole made by tbe needle and thread. How the cat came to swal low tbe needle is one of tbe myste ries we are unable to explain. We have often heard of ’Lay-overs- to-catch meddlers,’’ but never saw one until recently. A young man purchased some headache medicine, and carelessly left it where a young lady got hold of It who re moved tbe stopper and took a smell.

A, a widower went to see an elderly maiden lady, B, and they made up a match. C was the minister called upon to perform the marriage ceremony and as good luck would hava it he was one of those men who didn’t stand back for bad weather, but pressed forward whec duty called him to do so. The day set for the wedding was very cold. Sleet fell thick and fast. At the appointed hour, C arrived with his overcoat, hat and scarf aln fringed with ic cler. Before a rousing tire sat the pros pective husbi n l and wife surrounded by their friends waiting for the cere mony to take p:ate. The minister's ice bound habili ments w< re soon removed and be stood before the fire rubbing bis hands, warn ing h’m^elf and making him self as sgreebl* as the circumstances would admit of. He was a fluent talker, and was never happier than when called upon to perform a mar riage ceremony so he could brag about It afterwards. Tbe ceremony performed, the happy groom who was a dear lover of the American eagle, (especially when It was Impressed on a silver dollar) tipped the miniater and tbe two stepped outside tbe room where the groom asked tbe minister what he owed him (at the same time running his hand into his pocket and bringing out two silver dollars bold ing them very temptingly before the tpinistrial eyes. Looking askant at the "filthy lucre” the minister replied: "Ob, nothing, nothing.’.’ "I’m well paid in joining two of my flock In the holy bonds of matrimony." "Oh, but" says tbe groom "I want to pay you something for it. You came out in tbe cold at my request ifryit mil? roV‘ T, o$, no” says the minister "I’m satis fied if you are." The groom inns’ed but the minis ter wasjinexorable, still keeping an eye upon the hand that held the money At last the groom dropped one of the dollars into his poexet and tried ti get the minister to take the other. Toe minister stood firm. The groom h<>gan to think it a hopeless case. Finally, the minister said he hated to be won i j d so and would take the m >my only ; o p'oase the groom, but be had made it a rule when he did charge at ail lie never charged less than two dollars. The groom took the hint and forked over the two dollars and the colloquy ended without another word from either of them. J. L. s. THE GOUDELOCK FAMILY FREEDOM OF PRESS - IN STATE OF OHIO CROP BULLETIN. Arbitrary Action of Judge of Criminal Court HARD ON FOURTH ESTATE More Fact* I)in«-over«-<l t'onrernlnj; Ktntt (Soudelock. the Since writing my first arti.-le about the Goudelock ancestors, I have re- I ceived, from various s mrces, facts concerning the first Adam Goudelock or Goldenloek with which I am glad j I can answer some of the inquiries that have been sent. Adam was the only son of his father, and as Irisli custom or law was in those days, lie was the legal heir , to his father’s pn p rty. which con- I sisted of 12 acres rf land which was; and is considered un independent for tune for a single family to possess in j densely populated Ireland. Adam’s father dying when he was quite small, ! his mother married a man by tbe : name of Fleming, to whom there were born several daughters. Step-father Fleming became very unkind to little Adam and made his life so unhappy that Adam finally informed ids mot lit r that he was going to set k a hame in America. Mrs. Fleming assisted her boy in bis preparations to leave his native land and soon he sailed to America, never again to see home and mother. William Goudelock ut his death had in h>s possession a letter from Mrs. Fleming (William’s grand mother) to her son Adana. That letter contained the statement that six acres more of land had been given to him—making eighteen acres; but Adam refused to claim his birthright, saying his sisters needed the home in Ireland much more than he did. My informant has seen the above men tioned letter which afterward was destroyed by the fire that burned David Goudelnck’s law office at Union. I have also learned that Adam Goudelock was a crq pie, but was wagon-master in the American army. ’ This circumstaodb might have increased the fears of the good wife, should her husband be found in the British army, and caused her to deviate from the truth to Col. Wash ington.^ There is no tombatone tp mark the last resting place of Adam Goudelock and his devoted wife—nothing but rude stones. We cannot tell which grave is Adam’s or which is Hannah’s, but they are peacefully sleeping on a beautiful little knoll,shaded by a few wide spreadi ''“oaks. Would it not be a commendable act for all the descendants of this aged couple to commemorate their memory and mark their resting place neat tomb? I believe if only some-ofour good women (in whose veins flows this noble Irish blood) would only volunteer to lead there would be no trouble to curry out the suggestion. Believing that more facts concerning our ancestors will still be brought to light, I am, Yours respectfully, Newton Goudelock Littlejohn. This Will lutermt Many. To quickly introduce B. B. B.
