ALMOST 4 MURDER On New
Years morning one Of our promi-
nent citizens was walking on High
street, when 4 boy fifteen or sixteen
years ofage, stepped from a corner
with a pistol loaded with powder
and a paper wad. lie held out the
pistol for the purpose Of shooting
It Off and turned his head in another
direction. In this manner, without
knowing it, he placed tie muzzle
directly against the temple Of the
citizen above mentioned, and the
fortunate imperfection Of the cap
only prevented him from committing
q most horrible crime. 1t is time
that parents should refuse to allow
their boys to be possessors Of dan
gerous weapons to carry upon the
streets; and if parents will permit
it, the police should take the mat
ter in hand and ascertain what eff
cacy there is in a few hours confne.

= There is work for Nasby at
Fremont. We advise him to leave
'the Confederate X Roads at once,
and HE him as fast as railroad cars
and postmasters' free passes will
take him to that interesting and
thriving town. There is a splendid
opportunity to establish there a
church society of the "Church Of
the Moo Dispensation." Ithappens
thus: The Methodist church Of
that place has admitted to its mem
bership a respectable colored man
named Reese, and his wife, where
upon three or four Democrats (who
don't belong to the church them
selves, but whose wives do, J have
sworn great oaths that their wives
should leave the church. Mr.. Reese
is a very respectable citizen and
consistent christian; but these Mas
byites are opposed to letting him
into the church. Such men as these
will be for leaving heaven if any
'niggers' are let in there. There is
however, this consolation in regard
to the peaceful condition of the fu-
ture Paradise-none of this class of
men will ever get into heavee at all.

We make the following extract
from the Lebanon Star of the I'd
inst, for the purpose of letting the
scholars, teachers and parents in
our village and vicinity know how
things are done in other places
Maybe a similar entertainment will
be given the Sabbath School schol-
ars here some of these days, if the
scholars are punctual in their at
tendance at the Sunday Schools:
"The members of the Methodist
Congregation, in this place, determ-
ined not to be outdone by others,
gave the scholars of their Sabbath
School splendid entertainment on
last Monday evening. 1t was a
spontaneous affair. Less than one
days notice was given, and yet the
tables were completely covered with
costly cakes, fruits, and all the rich
holiday delicacies that could be i'm
agined. The little folks, and the
big ones, too, sang, and ate, and
enjoyed the occasion hugely.

say: "Not another man or another

needed them-in the dark hour of
the war when the rebels were jubi-
liant and almost triumphant? Did.
he not counsel resistance to the
draft and lncite the Democracy to

and sent through the lines
to the land and the cause he loved ?
Did he not get away from there,
run the blockade, and, after perils
by land and by water, endure exile
among the barbarous Canucks? In
our minds eye, we see him now, on
the inhospitable shores of Canada,
casting a'wishfuI look over the cold
and cruel waters Of the Niagara,
and imagine we hear him humming
to himself the words of the good old
hymn:
"Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood
Stand dressedin living green;
So, to the Jews old Canaan stood,
While Jordan rolled between"
Then did you not run him for
Governor of your State, and allow
him to be overwhelmingly defeated
Then in the last campaign did he

Moses Steddom, averaged 440 lbs,
gross. If any one can beat this in
this year of drouth and short crops,
Mr.. Hathaway would like to hear
from them.
Warren county has always been
noted for her monster hogs, but she

of hogs, raised and fed by himself,
which averaged 42O pounds at home,

as his was unreasonable. "Well''
