For TRIAL.-Detectivc Center, who
left for Ohio few days ago to bring Chris
Buckholter to this city for trial, on charge
Of abetting in arson, has returned with his
prisoner, who is safely lodged in Jail for
trial.
As to the guilt of Mr. Buckholter, various
and conflicting opinions are advanced by
the pubic Some express firm confidence
of his entire Innocence of the crime of
which he is charged, while others are firm
in their convictions that he is guilty For
his own sake, and for the sake of mankind
in general, We earnestly trust that this
promising young man is guiltless, and that
he may be able to prove beyond doubt
that such is the case We canLot we'll con.
ceive how any person could be SO lost to all
sense of manhood, as to engage in pursuits
of this nature. The trial will take place in

STREET SCENE.-BUYING WHEAT-
GoLD vs. FLORENCE A farmer who had
brought load of wheat into town from
some fifteen miles out, was stopped by buy
ers, on Brady St, when the following dia-
logue took place:
d. a. B.-"How much do you ask for
your wheat!"
Farmcr.-"All can get" "What will
You give?'
d. A. B.-Sixty-ive cents"
F.-"What kind of money!"
ID. Il. B-"Florence"
E-"Can't have it,"
W-"Ill give 62 cents in New York
money"
SIN give IS cents in gold"
AT this proposition, the farmer stopped
to consider, when another buyer came up ::
g. 7. Elbow much do you ask for
this wheat2'
F.-"All l can get"
g. r. E-"Ill give 60 cents in gold"
E-"You can have 1t" and away it went
to the mill of the merchant who paid in
money.
That is what We are coming to. We must
buy wheat, if we buy it all, with good
money. Let other farmers take the action
of the one we have mentioned as q text, and
stick to it. Wheat is worth money and will
bring it at a fair price.

THOMAS MCULLoUGH.-Every day
can be seen in the streets of our city an ell
derly man, whose years have nearly num-
bered fonr score, pursuing his way to and
from his usual place of business, almost un-
noticed by the eager business throng in our
thoroughfares. And yet this active and
firm stepping octagenarian was Graded in
the stormy times of the Revolution, and has
the rare honor of being in the presence Of,
and feasting his youthful eyes upon, the i'm
me rial WAsIuNGToN.
In the year 1854, at Harrisburg in Penn
sylvania, Gen. Washington reviewed and
addressed the troops intended to suppress
the famous 'Whiskey Insurrection'-and, il
was upon this occasion. that the boy
Thomas Mccullough, had the pleasure
vouchsafed to but few now living, Of listen
ing to the words of the Father Of his Coun-
try, spoken from his own lips.
Mr.. Mccullough cast his first Presiden-
tial vote in the year 1904, and that vot
was given for the author of the Declaration
of independence, THOMAS JEFFERSON. Hi
politics have always been of the Democra
tic stamp, and from that day to this. he ha
been answering in his fidelity to the part
! of his choice.
