The ''confdence game" is almost daily
being played in Cincinnati, on green
strangers-those prudent people who never
take the papers; if they do, don't read
them; if they read them, are too stupid to
remember the admonitions given therein
about sharpers.
The Town Council of Cedarville, sta
ton on the Little Miami Railroad, above
Xenia, having passed a troublesome ordi-
nance, requiring all railroad trains to go
upon walking pace through the town, the
railroad company have retaliated by order
ing all trains to go through without stop
ping at all, thus depriving Cedarville of its
accustomed accommodations. We think
the town has got the worst of it.
SOME of the old citizens of Licking coun-
ty have called q meeting at the Court
House. in Newark, to take measures for
collecting and pres erving all the facts
connected with the settlement of the differ
ent parts of their county. In few years
all such facts are beyond reach by the death
of early settlers and the removal Of their
descendants to other regions.

ABOUT six o'clock yesterday evening,
Henry Fauver, or Frauver, German, who
resided at No. 43 Henry street, in that part
of Dayton known as Oregon, says the En-
pire, committed suicide by shooting him.
self with pistol. This man, from what
we can learn, has been for some time of in
temperate habits, and of late, being out of
employment, has INDUCED his appetite to
such an extent as to render him at times
dangerous to his family. Yesterday he
seemed to have drank more deeply than
usual, and a short time before his death
was at the house of his sister-in-law, from
whence he went to his own home-went
into his room, loaded his pistol, placed
himself upon the bed, and then placing the
muzzle of the pistol to his neck, commit
ted the deed of self-murder. The Coroner
was summoned and inquest held, resulting
in verdict that this man had met his
death by his own hands.
On Thurday last a serions accident oc-
CURED at the Logan Furnace, by which
four men came near losing their lives. A
platform had been erected under the
bridge-house for the purpose of making
some repairs, a large piece of timber had
been raised and was laying on the plat
form, when the supports gave way, pre-
cipitating the timbers and the workmen.
John Whitcraft, Martin Weis, Lewis Bios
ser and Samuel Frasure, to the ground, a
distance of about twenty feet. The timber
fell upon Mr.. Whitcraft's arm, breaking
and lacerating 1t frightfully, and ipiurine
him otherwise terribly, and it is feared fa-
tally. Mr.. Weis was seriously injured, but
it is thought not dangerously. The other
two, 1t is thought, are not dangerously hurt.
Lsborers ought to be more careful when
erecting platforms upon which they are to
work. A very little prudence and trouble
might have saved much pain and suffering,
and perhaps life.
P. S.-Mr. Whitcraft died of his injuries
the same evening, says the Hooking Sentinel.
