DIED.
We are requested by little Angie RATHBONE, daughter of C.P. RATHBONE of this place, to publish a death notice of her little canary, Rollie. Rollie departed life last Wednesday A.M., cause of death is unknown. Rollie will be missed by the entire family.
Anna, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. CURTIN, of this place, departed this life last Wednesday, p.m. Aged 15 months and 19 days.
Isabella DUNNING, wife of Edward DUNNING, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David JEMISON, departed this life August 12th, 1874, aged 27 years, one month and three days. The deceased leaves a husband and three small children to mourn her loss, which they deeply feel. She also leaves a father and mother, sisters and brothers who feel that they have sustained in the death of this their child and sister a great loss. Mrs. DUNNING was esteemed by all who knew her as was expressed by a large congregation upon the funeral occasion. Edward and the motherless babes have the sympathy of many friends. May he be so happy as to finally meet his entire family in that land that is fairer than day where death can never enter, we commit them to God and the word of His grace.

As we announced three weeks ago, that a quanity of stolen goods had been found in Postville, and that certain parties had been arrested and were awaiting examination. We have today to notice that the examination was held yesterday before G.W. PEARSON, Esq., at Hardin, a change of venue having been taken from STILES. The examination was thorough, and occupied the attention of the court until 1 o'clock this morning, resulting in the holding to bail of Theressa HOPPAS, in the sum of $800, to answer to the Dist. Court. The evidence also disclosed the fact that others here in town were equally guilty with herself, and the end is not yet.
