THE SCHooLMAsTER ABRoAD.-In O
neighboring county, not thousand
miles from here, the Democracy last
fall elected portion of their ticket.
Among others was a "highly intelli.
gent" young man, chosen to fill the
place Of County Auditor. We have
been shown fac. SMILES of some Of his
official papers, which either shows a
characteristic lack of ability ON the
part Of members Of his party in that
county, or a knowledge Of some new
style Of Phoneticks. One was an or.
der on the county Treasurer, where
in he had the word "Treashur." The
other was some sort Of a paper for
the guidance of the assistant Prose
cutting Attorney, and in which the
word Ballville occurred, which he
made as follows:
Ass p Atorny. Balyil.
We think the first term will be his
last as that county has awakened to
sense Of its disgrace, and other
hands than those Of Democrats will
hold the reins in future.

Of every description of goods neces'

tell us that they happened in the city
just in time to take advantage Of the
great decline, and as goods immedi-
ately rose to their original prices it
will at once be seen that the Empire
Store is the place 70 secure bargains.

HEAVY SroRM.-Feeling fully salts

had fallen during the past week, we

wind prevailed on Wednesday, SO that
at the present time appearances indi'
cate a better state of things.

We last week published an account
Of an extraordinary case of endurance
on the part of an old man, which was
contributed by friend residing near
McComb. AS the writer failed to
give us his name, and not being
able to judge Of mans honesty OF
purpose by the style of his chirogra-
ply, we hardly knew whether the
story was reliable or not. Our cor
respondent takes umbrage at our
eqnivocal wording of the article and
now sends us his signature, whereat
we are much pleased, and take pleas
ure IN saying that the story is no
doubt true in every respect. Will
not all who send us favors remember
to give us their proper name-not
for publication, but as an evidence of
good faith on their part.

RATHER "NJDerxa"-The editor OF
the Bucyrus Forum gives his readers
a small hint as to how he would like
TO be treated as follows:
"Donation parties for editors are
a new feature. A few months ago,
the friends oftbe editor of ihe Bridge.
port Farmer, one of the best journals
In the country, gave him some four
hundred dollars In the shape of a
horse, buggy, DC. Several weeks
since, one of the Roundout publishers
was the recipient OF a very handsome
sum, and we see that the editor OF
the Muskegon News has received O
purse from his friends containing four
hundred dollars"
Our "devil' called our attention
to the above article, and wished that
the fashion would spread, as he had
got tired Of our old-f fashioned press
and would rather see large, new style
cylinder press in its place. As far
as tce are concerned, IL is immaterial,
SO we make no request nor venture
even wish, but we do pity the limp"
p. s. On further consideration we
will not urge the donation, even for
the sake of the "devil" if our patrons
will come forward and pay up. There
is on our books in the ncighborhood
Of $1,000 which has been due for some
time. Must have our honest dues or
a "donate."
