Hon. Lyman7 nj. Cri1chtieId.

| We much regret, and the people Of the
District will be sorry to learn, that Hon. L.
II. Gritehtielh, Senator inthe Ohio Legisla-
ture, has forwarded to the Governor his res
ignation. Mr.. Critchfeld was one of the
hblest members of the State Senate and
zealously performed the duties assigned him
by the people ofithe District. None will
forget the pertinacity with which he, labor
ed for the repeal Of the Infamous militia
law, and it is to him more than to any 9TH
er that the meed of praise is due for the OBJ
liberation of that unjust statute. But shis
efficiency did not consist in this alone; he
wasSah eloquent and pointed advocats for
the people III every instance where foolish
or wicked legislation was attem pttGls sr1htr.
G, claims that The little good he can accom-,
plish against the. oveTpowering Radical
majority in the Senate will not compensate
for the great sacrifice he makes in he>e9Ad
sequent neglect of his business at home,
and this is the reason for resigning., His
successor will be voted for at the October
election Holmes Co. Farmer. '7iI ''fH

Lime In CurinC EEnY.

1t has, been affirmed by eminent agricul-
turists that hay could be safely deposited
In the NOW in a semi green state, and come
out green, fragrant and exceeding palatable
to stock, by Jsprihkling upon each load
from tour to six quarts not h aiE-slacked
lime. The philosophy of it lies in the
chemical fact that lime is powerful absorb
ant. The Rev. F!iWills, of this city, tested
this process last season. fiIt win be remem-
befed thatthe weather was most unprOpi-
tious for making hay. Finding, it would
be impossible to save the hay by out door
exposure, he carted itinto his barn in a
heavy green condition. q He sifted the lime
upon it and it cured handsomely, and came
out this spring as inviting as flowers press
ed in an herbariurn. His horses and stock
devoured. it greedilyy and perferfed it to
the best sun cured hay.sGi-gQ s.f ggiE...
[ This is valuable chip of knowledge for
farmers. Necessity often cOmpels the hay
maker to choose between the alternatives
of leaving out in a drenching rain, a few
loads of half-cured hay, thereby spelling it,
or hurrying it into the barn with a right
smart chance" of itsheating and moulding
Lime Will absorb all the vegetable moisture
and save the hay; while salt gathers mois-
ture, and fails in many cases to preserve it.

The Wars or FOr1y-Nine Years I'm
30 EJ'i.ErIg EurOpcs. oj llgC- il

J AwriteF in the london li0r7ltng Star says:
! YPhe following statistics read with sad in
terest at this moment: Between the years
1915 and 1861, 2,7S2000 men were killed in
battle. or these 2,l4S000 were Europeans
aud $4,000 were Inhabitants of the other
continents. Thus during forty-ninegears
the average annual number who thus per-
ished amounts to 1880 men, not including.
the victims Of disease engendered by the.
consequences of war. The Crimean. war
QS53-56lfwas. naturally the most destruc-
tive, 5ll,QOQ men having perished duIing
its course; 10000 of these died on the field
of battle; $4,000 from disease in hospital
-256,000 being Russians, $4,000 Turks, l07,-l
900 French, $4,000 English, 1900 Italians
and $500 Greeks. The war in the Caucasus
(lS2p30) cost the lives of 100000; the An
glO-Indian war (lS57-59), 10000; the Rus
sian and Turkish war (lS2S-29), 1913, 900; the
Polish insurrection of 1881, 100000; the
civil war of Spain which ragged from 1888
to 1910, 172,000; the war Of Greek indepehd-
dence Q82l-29), to which Lord Byron fell
a victim, las, ,000;i the various French CAM.
pGigns in Algeria, from 1880 to 1850, 1460 900;
the Hungarian revolution, 142 600; the Ital-
ian war of lS59-6O, 129S74, which lastnpm-
Der may be thus annalyzed-96,S74 fell OH
the field of battle, aud $4,000 died of disr
ease; of which 59664 were Austrians, go
22O French, 23,600 Italians, 14,0l0 Neapoli-
tans, and 1870 Romans. j-af.'a. -fYtf
A curious resutmay be deduced from the
abOve-namelys that a greater number
perish BY the disease incident to, camp life
than are actually killed by shot and shell or
anydther engine of destruction. AS to the
sums Of money swallowednp by these wars,
it is impossible to arrive at anything ap-
preaching correct CALCULATION. The Cri-
mean war cost Russia 1928 millions of
francs Zone million of francs is equal to
$200000), France l,34S millions, England
1920 millions, Turkey LOGO millions, Aus
tria, for mere demonstrations 470 millions.
Thus in two years and a half 6,526 million
francs were spent. " fG -iaH.G .GlG af Do sgu
The Italian war of 1859 cost France 345
millions, Austria 730 millions, Itlay 40
millions. Thus in two months l, ,45S millions

REMARKABLE ROBBERY.

Nelson Bristol, a wealthy farmer of
Florence, Huron county, o., was robbed
of over S14, GOO on Tuesday, the 26th of
June, In a very singular manner. We
condense the following particulars from
the Cleveland Herald
In Mr.. Bristofs safe were $4,000 In
United States bonds, belonging to him
self; $1,000 intrusted to his safe keeping
by a neighbor, a Mr.. Pearce, and S3,027
in gold, the property of Mr.. Bristol
About dark five men arrived at the house,
claiming to be Government detectives,
who we're on the track Of some Govern
ment bonds which had been stolen
Hearing that Bristol had large amount
of securities, they demanded to see them.
He reluctantly opened his safe, when his
visitors declared that the numbers Of his
bonds compared exactly with those of the
missing ones, and In spite of his prOtesta-
tions, kept possession of them. They
then arrested him and his wife and three
hired men, for their alleged suspicious
conduct, handcuffed them, and confis-
Gated the gold, as the proceeds of missing
bonds, which had been sold. They then
withdrew, ostensibly for consultation, but,
it is hardly necessary to say, did not re-
turn The handcuffed victims waited
several hours, and finally arrived at the
conclusion that they had been frightfully
taken in At last accounts the robbers
had not been captured.

At no FORMER period in the history of
our country has there been in the same
brief space of time so many destructive
fires as have occurred during the first ten
days of the present month. First and
foremost in the list stands that of Port
land, Maine, on the 4th, which, taking
the size of the city into account, is almost
unparalleled in extent of loss and amount
of suffering entailed About two hund-
red acres of territory were burnt over in
the very heart of the city, embracing near
Iy the entire business portion, the loss
estimated ct over ten millions, the num-
Der Of buildings consumed about fifteen
hundred, and more than ten thousand
persons rendered homeless. Among the
buildings destroyed were eight churches,
all the banks in the city, several found
aies, all the Law Offices, the City Hall, ev-
cry newspaper Office, six hotels, and near
ly all the business houses,
Among the other fires, most of which al
30 occurred on the 4th, are the following:
New York, loss S250,OOO; New Orleans,
loss $500, 600; Philadelphia. loss $250, 900;
Utica, N. Y, loss 5000, 900; Nevada, loss
915O,OOO; Little Falls, N. Y, loss $115,-
coo; Cherry Valley, N. Y, loss 100000;
LaWreneeburg, Ind, loss 100000; Ben
nehof Run, Pa, 20 valuable oil wells and
machinery, 10000 barrels of oil, and 9TH
or valuable property-one Of the most de-
structive Oonfagrations that has yet oe-
eurred in the oil regions, but the loss not
estimated. The aggregate loss sustained
bg these fires viii probably fall but little
Ghort Of fifteen millions, and the insurance
companies of the country must be very
heavy sufferers.

The Eastern newspapers are dicguss-
ing the question ofsalaries, and have gen
orally come to the conclusion that the
highest salary paid to any one man in
New England is that received by the
agent of the Salisbury Woolen Mills, at
NewburyPortt--$l5 600, year. The low
est salary in New England is generally
believed to be that received by a Meth
odist clergyman, who stated at a recent
convention in Boston, that his pay for
last years preaching, consisted of a new
hat and bushel of apples, but now he
was more fortunate, as he was getting $25

The meeting of the ladies of Columbus,
which was callraon Wednesday afternoon
last, to devise means for replenishing the
treasury of the Female Benevolent Society,
was not very fully attended, owing to the
inclement weather. l.
By those present, it was decided that 1t
would be best to hold Bazaar, lasting for
several days, the second week in December
at which useful and fancy articles should be
sold, and full supply of eatables offered.
Through the generosity of Mr.. John Els
Ter, the Atheneum will be used for the oc-
casion, free Of expense to the society.
Committees ofladies were appointed to visit
the different parts of the city, and to solicit
aid in the undertaking. Money, articles
for sale, and provisions will all be thank
fully received. An adjourned meeting was
called for Wednesday afternoon next, at
half-pasJ two, in the parlor Of the Congre-
gational Church, to receive the reports OF
the committees of Visitation, and to make
other arrangements. This society, it will
be remembered, is composed of ladies of
all denominations, and assists all worthy
objects of charity coming to its notice; and
it is desired that all ladies, whether con-
nected with the society or not will be pres
ent at the meeting and assist with their ad-
vice and active eXertions. The following are
the ladies' appointed to solicit contributions.
1t is hoped they will meet with the cordial
and generous response usually given to
their appeals by the citizens of Columbus :

entertainments at the Opera House on Sat.
urday afternoon and evening. They had {
good house at the matinee, and quite
large one in the evening. The latter enter.
taInment was somewhat varied from th,
former ones, and was received with the

delight. Among the new things intro.
duced, was the truly wonderful equilibrium
or bottle performance of Mons. August
which elected rounds of applause.
The recent engagement of the Hanlons al
the Opera House has been the most sue.
cessful one in their line of entertainments
ever given in the city, and the popularity
they have gained on this visit will insure
them cordial welcome should they ever
