Singular Affair = A Husband Drops
Dead at the Grave of his Wife.

We have just heard of one of the most sin
gular incidents that, during our journalistic
experience, we have been called upon to record,
and one too which is as sad as it is strange.
About two months ago the wife of Mr.. James
Edrington, residing short distance from tho
city, was standing near the fireplace, when
her clothing came in contact with the flames,
which were soon communicated to her person,
and before assistance could reach her she was
so severely burnt that after lingering in the
EXTREMIST agony until Wednesday last, she
died from It's effects.
Yesterday the woman was buried, and just
at the moment the earth was being cast upon
her coffin the husband, who seemed to suffer
extremely at the death Of his wife, fell to the
ground in an apparently lifeless condition.
He was taken up and conveyed to his resi-
dence, but, although still breathing, his phys
icians have little hope of his ultimate recovery.

NATIONAL THBATER.--The audience ut the
National last night, although enthusiastic, was not
so large as the benefcare deserved. Her impersona
have made Miss Davenport both a favorite and fa-
nous, and In some OF the scenes she excelled even
her already brilliant reputation To-nlgnt sne VIII

high reputation, and their music and dances have
everywhere been loudly applauded. Miss Julia
Gould ia among the company, and has already dis
tnguished herself to such extent to require no
word from US in her favor. All who delight in amuse-
mont Of this kind, we are sure, will not fail TO be
pleased with this company.

VIOLATION OF THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENT
A man named Daniel Countryman, day before
Yesterday, went before Justice Myers, of Delhi
Township, and caused warrant to be issued
for the arrest of Lewis Ackley, whom he
charged with having violated the seventh
Commandment. 1t appears that the plaintiff,
haunted by certain "green. eyed monster"
believed that Ackley had been admitted to
favors that should have been exclusively his
own, and he brought such testimony to bear
upon the case that he convinced the Justice
that he had been wronged in the manner we
have related. The defendant was committed
in default Of bail to the amount of 5000 for his
appearance before the next term Of the Court
Of Comm0h Pleas.

The Artic Search-The Open Polar Sea.

The Artic Search-The Open Polar Sea.
The increased interest given to the subject
of physical geography, and especially to the
Artic regions, by the lectures of Bsysrd Tay-
lor, justihes our reference to the contemplated
visit Of Americans in search of tho open
Polar sss. Cincinnati sympsthizss with DR..
Hayes, who dwells with eloquent esrnsstness
on the topic Of the open Polar ses. Men of
science, men Of progress In our city, exult with
him in joyous anticipation Of exploring these
"North waters" We have thought above
pork, picayunss and the negro, and confess
to sympathy with the proposed American
enterprise, to bs conducted by the Surgeon of
DR.. Kanes expedition. The Doctor proolaims
his belief Of the existence of such sea in
mid winter as in summer. Morton, at lati-
tade s6 deg. 20 min, had reached it, and had
travelled, in June, along the margin Of this
water seventy miles, and from an elevation of
three hundred feet had looked out upon
boundless, iceless sea. He reported that tho
temperature Of tho water by the thermometer
to bs SO degrees. He believed 1t was there
through sunlight and darkness. It's broad
bosom heaves and swells under the etsrnal
day. its 10y margins lashes into frosty foam
the roaring pillows under the gray dome of
eternal night. The mighty whale has there
his central home, and sporting unmolested
within his ice-locked fortress, mingles his
voice with the roar Of dashing waters, start
ing tho midnight solitude of the silent stars.
The great bear roams wild over its frozen
border, and sees its heavenly brother mirrored
in the "vasty deep" When summer comes
its shores swarm with bird life, and myriads of
sea-swallows and elder and killi-wake chatter
in the cliffs, and fit over the foaming orests
of the swelling waves. Flowers bud and
blossom in the valleys; moses grow green
upon the slopes, and peace and plenty come to
human creatures, who, guided by the polar
star, have wandered to tho utmost limit of the
land.
We hope fully qualified representative of
the West will be selected as one Of tho expedi-
tion. Cincinnati would be glad to bear her
proper contribution to sustain this movement,
and no doubt two lectures here by DR.. Hayes
would be we'll supported.

HORRIBLE AoCIDENT-ANorHER GELD BURNT
TO DEATE.-We have chronicled during the
present week at least dozen fatal accidents
by burning, and are now called upon to record
another death by this horrible and, at present,
fssrfully frequent method. Tho nurse of
couple Of small girls, whose names we have
not been able to ascertain, residing on Walnut
Hills, left the children playing together in q
room while she went to the cellar. During
her absence the youngest, q bright-eyed child
of five years Of age, stepped too near the fire,
and her clothing having caught she was soon
enveloped in flames. Her screams brought
the nurse to her side, but it was too late: for
the fiery fingers of the fame had already fin-
ished their crimson feat, and the little sufferer
had become soulless mass Of rose hued ashes.

bents of Office, it will not be considered i'm
proper to alludo to the exemplary character,

is to be inaugurated Governor Of the great
State Of Ohio on Monday next. May the
State Of which he is to be tho official head
continue to prosper and sustain it's high char
aoter asa sovereign State Of the Union.
This is the honorable list Of his predecessors:
Gen. Arthur 81. Clair, who had been President
of the Continental Congress and Revolution
ary officer, after fighting the Indians in Its
defense, was appointed by Washington first
Governor Of the Northwestern Territory, and
continued to hold the government thereof from
1888 until tho formation of State Govern
ment in 1903.
The first Governor Of Ohio was DR.. Edward
THIN, from 1903 to 1908; portion Of the time
of the latter year, Thos. Kirker, the President
Of the Senate, acted as Governor; Samuel
Huntington from lsOs-lo; Return J. Meigs
1SlO-l4; 0thneill LOCKER acting during
1914; Thomas Worthington 1sl4-1s; Ethan

alists that the commerce, agriculture, and
manufactures of the West must be respected
and duly considered.
