Absut40sl oil.

The BLADE says there appeags to be considerable
competition among the RnsEeSss,tircrs of Coal Oil
at the present time, all claiming for their manufac-
ture the credit Of being the cheapest ahd safest
Nearly all the Coal Oil now on sale contains more
or less OF the explosive ecment called Benzole -
and those using the article shoald satisfy them
selves on this point before taking to their houses
OF should ascertain the character Of the oil before It
is put into the lamps for use We gave, some time
SINCE the result of an experiment to determine this
fact, viz; 10 take spoonful of oil and apply a
lighted match if it burned rapidIy, reject it alto
gether, as unsafe The best quality of Coal Oil
will burn, If tested in this manner but the differ
ence between oil without Benzole can be- easily de-
termined by the nature of the blaze. Pure Coal
OIL will burI with steady blaze, while Benzole
flashes like powder - and in fact il appears to be
nothing more or less than liquid gun powder, and
80 great Is the difference shown upon applying this
test that no one can be deceived The greater the
proportion OF BenzOle in the oil the cheaper II can
be afforded 10 consumers and yet il is the most ex
penSive IN the end as il burns away in the lamp
much faster than the pure oil, Peck g. Hamilton
sre selling the genuine article, a. the very lowest
figure.

Seduction Case,

One of the most unfortunate cases of female mis-
lately at Milton Center in this County. 1t seems
that man named Asa Smith, who lives near West
field married, some five years ago daughter of
Truman Ii. Ellsworth of Milton Center. Smith was
at the time widower having several children by
his first wife He has two children now by his
present wife. 1t seems that Miss Angeenc Els
worth. the sister Of Smiths last wife, was sent last
winter to Smiths to assist Mrs. Smith in her house
work. On the road going to his home, as Angelcnc
says, Smith commenced taking indecent liberties
with her, and on her declining to 60 with him fur
ther, an this account he promised to dcsist, aud
never trouble her again. Under this promise An
gclcne went to his home and lived there until May.
taking care of the children and assisting Mrs.
Smith about the house. During all this time,
Smith was trying to bring her TO consent to crimi-
nal intercourse and finally about the last of April,
or first of May, succeeded in scducing his own
Esfe's sister. She is but little girl--bcing only
l5 years Of age, and quite slight in figure On the
22nd Of January last, she brought forth female
child, the fruits of his crime The fhmy feel very
deeply this affection, and the cause of their daugh-
ters shame, being her own brother-in-law, adds

that Smith has beep bonnd to court and slut for

Higgins on The EIampago Again Another
Fine Pointed Law Opinion - Who is
the Lawyer - E'ublic Printing.
We suppose when Higgins and his sharp legal
confederate had the fate of their pet opinion
about the county printing last fall, they would, for
Il reasonable time at least torbear to issue any
more law publications. But alas for all human
reason and calculations That same wonderful
Law firm of Higgins & Co., have been once more in
travail and brought forth point. True, the point
is rather musty smells little old - but still it is
for all their purposes OF lying and swindling Il
point and as such it must be dealt with. They tell
US that all of the Wood county tax sales in this
blessed year Of grace void, absolutely and
plctcly void, because the tax duplicate was pub
lished only four weeks.
The law or statute of the State says that the
tax duplicate shall be published atloaat toT weeks,
in some paper printed and of general circulation in
the county. As this is admitted to have been pub
lishcd four weeks, don't at first glance see the
point. But it must not for moment be supposed
that there is no point because we don't see it, We
think the point We are afraid the clique that
prcsides over the fortunes of the hip0dcn, scruple
at no lie, however gross and palpabc to bring the
honorable portion of this community down to their
own level. But what commentary this is
upon the principles which govern their action Do
thcy think their readers FOOLS unable to read and
apprehend the plain words of the plain law? Not
word of his charge as to the correctness of our
printing bill is sustained by the facts We made
out our bill according to the recognized and cstlb-
lishcd law and rule of newspapers. Counting ten
lines TO the square, and the space occupied by the
tax duplicate was one hundred and twenty-five
squares instead of one hundred and wenty-one, as
charged by us, In no place where Mr.. Higgins is
well known as in this town can any assurance of
this fact be necessary. The printed laws of the
State convict him of cool, unblushing fasehood, in
one instance the December numbers of our paper
scattered the land and in the hands Of printers
and publishers throughout the State convict him of
the same in the other. But must the people in this
town and county submit forever to the uisrcpresen
tations, SANDERS and falschoods of this irresponsible
unpriucipled man? Is there TO be no limit to
this foul traducug Of public men and private char
acter? 1t is well known that lie has no property,
from which the outraged can hope for redress nc-
hcr has he any social standing or character to peril
By his wanton, reckless career Of classification and
calumny.
To make the falsohnod and malice of Mr.. Higgins
more apparent and inexcusable we need ONLY refer
to the fact that he himself in publishing the alb
stract of 1859, only continued it in his papor for
four weeks. lie knew the law then-had examin-
ed and pracdsod under il, and yet he wilfully,
knowingly and unbusliugly publishes this wanton
lie to the people Of the county Oh shame, where
is thy blush?
