shortened +" from 8 till s." down to from
$40 till 81 but between these hours he
was. always in his Office, safe at lunch
hours, when, if any of his distinguished
family were down shopping" he
would escort them to the ice-cream sa-

To be invited to Sanders was the zenith
of bliss to all codfshdom.
But time works wonders. Last week
G.. Hurbert Sanders was arrested on
charge of forgery, and was released up
on giving bonds in the sum of SIC, 900
for his appearance at Court to answer
the charge His son-in-law and his
partner were his sureties. That evening
he fed, and has not been found nor heard
of. The following day, forged mort
cages and deeds were discovered in his
office, upon which he raised over $780,
600. In one instance he actually mort
gagged mans own property to him for
$4,000, and strange to tell, the poor
fellow never discovered it until the news
of the forgeries was two days old. To
some he gave mortgages upon the high
way, the boundaries and descriptions be-
ing given in the usual style. He also
drew mortgages upon the property of
Bolton H. Banon, John Parrott, Sam
Brannon, and others of our wealthy |
men, who never had a dollar upon their
estates. All these he conveyed to his
victims, who paid him their money,
gave him his commission and went away |
in the security that held their
funds.

agent of the Company. In this capaci-
ty Mr.. Roberts has distinguished him
self, having, previous to his connection
with this Company, served in the same
capacity for the Cleveland and Toledo
R. R. Co. His great experience, skill,
and sound judgment, have rend. .red his
services of great value to us, and such
requirements as he possesses will be a
valuable acquisition to any Company.
Aud finally, the Board tender their
thanks to the Secretary, j. w. Tyler,
Esq, and the acting Treasurer, E. P.
Brainerd, Esq, for their assiduous and
devoted attention to the best interests
of the Company. These gentlemen
have not only performed the arduous
duties connected with their trusts to the
entire satisfaction of the Board, but
have rendered aid of the most substar-
tial character in support of the enter
prise. For which they are justly enti-
tied to tho thanks of the stockholders.

The Board of Trustees, we are glad
to learn, are taking measures to do
everything necessary to complete the
facilities of Kenyon, for giving the most
thorough education to the young men
who may there assemble. Al new Pro-
fessorship in the department of English
Literature, was created, to fill the chair
of which the Trustees have invited Capt
Copper, formerly Professor at West
Point, now of the University of Pennsyl-
vania;a gentleman of the highest at
tainments in science, and especially as a
student and teacher of history.
1t Peck having declined the Chair
of Mathematics, the Board rendered the
position to J. Baker Thompson, of Va,
whose testimonials represent him as re-
wellsqualifed for such posi-
tion. Mr.. Fl. B. Lathrop, now Princi-
pal of the Grammar School, was appoint
ed adjunct Professor of the Ancient
Languages. 80 -= .i-5 Si-@tf<2 ia-=
The institution, under the Presiden-
cy of Lorin Andrews, is fast advancing
in general reputation and in the number
of It's students The next Freshmen
class will probably consist of 40 or so
;. larger class than has ever
entered Kenyon.
The delightful weather on commence
ment day gave unusual zest to the fes-
tivities of the occasion. Clergymen
and Laymen from a>distance were pres
ent in large numbers, and evinced the
deepest interest in the Institution.

G. Hubert Sanders. This gentleman
came to our city some three years ago,
poor and meek. He hired him small
Office, engaged a par tner equally poor,
and the two hung out modest, yellow

Attorneys and Counsellors at law"
Sanders is a freedman, I believe !;
hence he soon got very fine practice
from the countrymen. He married an
American lady in one of our Eastern
cities, widow, the mother of two girls
-one dazzling beauty. The family
moved to this city. The wonderful
beauty of their daughter drew to their
house crowds of admirers-the wealth
and aristocracy of our city. A smile
from the lovely fair one was bliss to
ponder on. With increasing practice
in his profession, Sanders plunged out
in truly fashionable style His hand

her admirers eagerly rivalled each 9th

for the daughter. Soon the family be-
came noted in high circles, and some
even assigned to them the front rank
among the ton. They rode in the
finest carriage in town, had the best
horses, and plunged into all the cztrav-
agance essential to support their newly
assumed position. The beauty married
a lawyear of some wealth, Mr.. AL
fred Wheeler The party given on the
occasion eclipsed anything of the sort
ever known in the country. With the
accumulation of business, Sanders felt it
necessary to purchase the appointment
of Notary Public, merely to facilitate
his own practice; for he was no Convey

by having the authority to take the ac-
knowledgements of the borrowing and

Give them occasionally tablespoon
full of compound, three parts ashes and
one of salt, for each hog, mixed with
their food, and it will destroy the kidney
worms. For costiveness, with which
they are often affected, take copperas,
pulverized, and put it in skillet, and
put it over quick fire; it will soon boil; !;
then stir it till well mixed, and take it
off to cool, then pulverize it, and give
to each hog a tablespoonful as the ex-
crement show them to be eostive. It
can be mixed with milk, or other food.
