THE TEMPLARS' CELEBRATION!

Upper Sandusky Lodge, No. 151, of the
Independent Order of Good Templars, pro-
pose to celebrate the approaching anniver-
sary of American independence with
grand BASKET MEETING, or general picnic,
In which other Lodges, the friends of tenn
perahce generally, as well as all others
who desire to do so, are invited to partici-
pate.
The meeting will be held in the beauti-
ful grove belonging to Maj. J. ID. SEARS,
Immediately west of town, where speech:
es, music. feasting and fun, will be the Or
der of the day.
It Is hoped that all who can do so con-
veniently will come with their baskets
well supplied with the good things of
this life-not only enough for themselves
bat for others who may be here from a
distance unproVided for.
A grand procession of the order in full
regaiia will take place, and all lodges that
contemplate being present as organlZa-
tions should report by letter to Gen. l. M.
KIRBY, Chief Marshal of the day, in order
that he may be able to assign them to
their proper positions.
No tables will be erected, but, as at any
other social picnic, all formality and
show will be dispensed with, and each
family or party will be expected to ar
range an impr0nipfu table, spread their pro-
visions upon it, invite their friends and any
others who do not seem to he provided
for, and then indulge in q good old fash
toned lunch.
A delightful time is expected and all

The Liquor Cases.-The indictments
found by the Grand Jury last week against
some Nevada men for selling liquor were
'quashed by the Court, because of the very
peculiar manner in which the Prosecu-
ting Attorney, Judge Mott. spelled the
word sworn. In order to spell 1t good and
strong, a d was added, we are told, which
made it ssrornd. This, the Court held, viii
:ated the indictments, and the parties were
discharged.
This Ia new and, strange dodge; there
are number of strange things about it.
It is strange that our neighbor, the county
printer, should make such very peculiar
error in the blanks; it is also strange that
this error has never affected any other in
dictment similarly; it is strange, too.
that our very astute county officials did
not discover this defect In the blank form
previous to the Indictment of these men
and if they were aware of its existence.
how pery strange it is that they still kept
the blanks on hands to be used in cases of
90 much Importance to the public.
The Court, we think, allowed the accused
to escape through very small aperture,
and we would advise them not to get into
the same place again. or they may find all
the little holes closed on them,

DIR. Franklin and the Soutb


DR.. Franklin and the South Caro-
lima P1anter.-A friend relates to us
that the summer before the war at the
house of hospitable South Carolina plant
er, he was up one morning with the sun
and was about to venture forth ON morn
ing walk, when he was checked by the
planter at the door.
''You cannot pass, sir; too early.''
''Too early! Why, my dear Colonel, what
says DIR. Franklin?''
"Early to bed and early to rise will
make man healthy, wealthy and wise"
Every fine, sir; but all a fallacy. Early
rising and the inhalation, upon an empty
stomach, of the morning malaria of this
country, North and South, have been the
death of thousands-the death of thous-
ands, sir, from the time of Capt. John
Smith to this day. Wait till after break
fast, fortify your stomach with cup of
hot coffee, and then, the noxious vapors of
the hight being exhaled by the sun, we
will take morning ride.''
''But, my dear Colonel, 1 am always for
titled with a wineglass of HosTETTER's s
CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTERs."
"Ah, then, sir, you may stick to DIR.
Franklin. Hostetter's agentat Charleston
supplies me, and am expecting box to-
day with my wagon. Those Bitters, find,
resulting from malaria. Doctor Franklin
holds good, sir, sven lin the swamps of
South Carolina, if fortified with Hostetters

The Merrill CaSe.4On motion Of the
counsel of MERRILL who has been confined
in our jail for some time on a charge of
shooting his brother, a change of venue
was ordered by the Court, and he is to be
tried in Crawford comfy. We think the
friends of the prisoner we're mistaken
when they represented that it was impos-
sible for him to receive fair and impair
itial trial in this county. 1t is tfue that
the occurrence did create good deal of
excitement at the time it transpired, but
it has subsidized now, and the majority of
our citizens are prepared to examine and
decide the case in accordance with the
testimony, free from prejudice or personal
feeling. q
We have studiousTy avoided alludsng to
this case heretofore in order that the
minds Of the people should be prepared to
give the prisoner an impartial trial, and
we were panied to fiAd his friends
dragging an item from our paper into
Court for the purpose of showing that
efforts had been made TO prejudice the peo-
pie against him. 1t was simply a local
item in which we stated that an attempt
had been made to escape by the prisoners
confined in the Jail, and in which the
name of MERRILL did not occur. The
Sheriff told the story himself the morning
after 1t was said to have occurred, to some
gentlemen in the store of Messrs Ayres &
Brunher, and we only reiterated his state
ment. ik AS Sheriff Michaels took occa-
sion to swear, injustice was done to the
prisoner by our little item, that injustice
was the result of Sheriff Ms own state
ment, which fact can easily be established
by the TESTIMONY Of the gentlemen to
whom he related the circumstance. We
say this much to relieve ohrself froii the
very ungenerous imputation that we were
disposed to prejudice our people against
any of the prisoners.

worn one of our Skirts will be willing to wear
any other, as the lower hoops of all other kinds
are soon injured and soiled.

The Accident Insurance Conn
pany Of Columbus - This company
makesa statement in our advertising col
pany has now been about one year in
operation, but the first six months of its
existence was necessarily absorbed in or
ganization, and in establishing, equipping
and supplying agencies. The result of
the first years operations may, therefore,
be stated as the sum of but six months ae-
tual returns. During this period it has
issued sixty-three thousand five hundred
and eighty-three policies, ranging from
one day to five years, and covering risks
from five hundred to ten thousand dollars
each. Every claim has been adjusted
promptly and satisfactorily, without any
litigation whatever.
Ofits authorized capital ofone million
ofdollars, eight hundred thousand has been
subscribed, and twenty per cent. thereof
paid up in cash, the remaining six hum
dred and forty thousand being amply Sc
cured, and made payable on call. Not
withstanding the heavy expenses Of a first
years operations, the company exhibits a
surplus of thirty thousand dollars. It's
assets are invested in the very best State
and Government tonds. No possible ep-
| idemic of disaster could shake the solven-
cy of a corporation whose finances are so
strongly fortified.
We should not close this article without
referring to the high degree of skill, pru-
dence and integrity that have character
