It. seems that the Monroe paokof
Journals missed week before last for the

things, promptly as they occur, we will
be ever-so-much obliged. When we have
extra copies we gladly duplicate lost
ones but to those who look for their
Journal on a certain day of the week,
as they have been accustomed to receive
it for 'years, to make a trip of several
miles especially to get the paper, and
then to know that it is absent because
of carelessness somewhere in handling
the mails, is not very pleasant.
A bill has been introduced to pen
sion Mrs. North of Columbus who is the
aged mother of Maj. Frank North of the
old Pawnee battallion. Maj. North con
tracted diseases and disabilities in the
early Indian warfare of this state, which
at last caused his death. Mrs. North
should not be begrudged any favor
which Uncle Sam can bestow upon her
for she was one of the very earliest set
tlers in the state, and her husband died
soon after she came here, leaving her
to rear alone a family in the midst of
pioneer rigors. All of her sons and ?ons-in-law
were prominent actors in the In
dian warfare of this state. She is en
titled to a generous recognition from
this government on her own account.

evening until twelve was spent in social
converse, interspersed with recitations
by F. E. Crandall, L. M. Hoag, Miss Ida
Martin and Carl Kramer, a song by

fifty partook, was a very decided success,

own person and estate, and to transact
all business pertainiiv thereto, and that
she be fully restored to the management
of the same. It is oruered by this court
that the said Rosina Kuhn be so restored
to the management of her own person
and estate. It is further ordered that
Jacob Ernst, the respondent in this
cause and guardian of said Rosina Kuhn,
restore to her and make full return to
her of her estate so held by him as said
guardian and render a full and final ac
counting of all the estate, both real and

We published, last week, announce
ment of the death of Dr. Mitchell. A
letter from a friend to Dr. Martyn of this
city, gives further particulars. His late
home, for several years, was Passadena,
California, and it was here that his death
occurred Feb. 4th. He had been in bad
health for a number of years; at the last
it was a struggle for ten days, the rheu
matism reaching the heart and ending
his life. The friend says in his letter:
"At the last the pain left him, and he
went home as. peacefully as a leaf would
fall from a tree." He had every care and
attention every way. The Dootor was a
member of the Royal Arcanum lodge of
this city and had kept up his payments,
entitling his widow to receive 83,000. We
learn that he carried other insurance,
