We hear with profound sorrow, of the death by shooting of our old friend, H. W. FARMER, of Alton, Oregon County at the hands of another friend, JOEL McKINNEY, also a resident of Alton. We have not learned the particulars, but know that there has, for some time, existed a "grudge" between the parties.

Died, of consumption, at her home in Des Arc, Mo., June 30th, 1892, Mrs. CORDELIA EMELINE FARR, wife of Spencer Farr.
Sister Farr was born July 18th, 1847 in Perry County, Mo. She professed faith in Christ as her Savior in the year 1868 and united with the Methodist church during the same year, living a member to her death. She leaves a husband and three children to mourn her departure. Her last prayer on earth was for her children and husband. She gave bright evidence to those who attended her during the last moment that she was ready to go to that rest which remains for the people of God. Her funeral was preached by the writer, July 1st, from II. Cor. 5th chapter and 10th verse.

On Friday Morning last Mike Foley received the sad intelligence through telegraphic communication from Mullanphy hospital that his brother THOMAS G. FOLEY, who has been confined at that institution for several months, had passed over to the great majority at 8:30 A.M. from consumption. This intelligence, though sad, was not considered of a surprising nature from the fact of their knowledge of the weak condition he was in and his death to his father and brother was expected at any moment. Michael Foley, Jr., left for St. Louis on the two o'clock train to take charge of the remains, returning Saturday. The remains were taken to the residence of Michael Shea and kept until Sunday afternoon, when all that was mortal was taken to the Middlebrook cemetery, followed by a large concourse of mourning and sympathetic friends and laid to rest by the side of his beloved wife and brother, who only a few months ago preceded the now cold form to that bourne whence no traveler returns. Deceased was thirty-nine years of age, a member of the Catholic church and a devout Christian. In social circles deceased was a good citizen and kind neighbor, was identified with the Democratic party and had the distinguished honor of representing this county in the legislature a few years ago to the credit of his constituents, ever ready to champion the cause of Democracy and the success of the Democratic party, and was also an efficient officer of the Federal Government under the administration of President Cleveland as one of the custom appraisers of St. Louis, but when the Republican party returned to power and assumed control of the government deceased, like all others of his political affiliation, and what now seems to be natural consequence, was turned out. Three bright and lovely little children, Willie, Mary and Mikey, are now left without father or mother, but who are at present under the kind care and protection of their auntie, Mrs. Michael Shea.
On returning home from the burial, the king-pin of the buggy of Daniel O'Brien broke while crossing one of the company's railroad tracks, throwing both Mr. and Mrs. O'Brien out of the buggy. Mrs. O'Brien was thrown violently against one of the rails, receiving a very severe cut on her forehead and receiving other body bruises that as yet are not known whether any seriousness will result or not. She was taken to the residence of Mrs. Masson in an almost unconscious condition and where she is still kept. M. McGrath, on seeing the accident, started immediately for medical assistance. Mr. O'Brien received a few slight facial bruises, but none of a serious nature. Considering the aged and feeble condition of the two, it was a miraculous escape from death. She is reported as resting pretty easy at this writing. The damage to the buggy and runaway horse is slight.
