A DISCHARGED LUNATIC KILLS ONE AND
FATALLY WOUNDS ANOTHER PERSON IN
OHIo.---On Saturday fatal ARRAY arose,
at the town of Middlebury, Logan county,
Ohio, during the progress of trial before
Justice of the Peace, between Walla Mar
shall and Eli Norville Marshall who has
lately been discharged from the Central
Ohio Lunatic Asylum, became enraged at
something which occurred, and the citizens
present. fearing that he was armed and
would commit some violence, seized hold
of him with view of disarining him.
Among those who were active in the at
tempt to restrain him, were ID. s. Norville
and his brother Eli. Marshall became furi-
GUS at this, and succeeded in drawing a
common pocket knife, with which he stab
bed d. S. Norville to the heart, and woun-
ded, perhaps fatally, Eli Norvin before
he could be overpowered. The scene, as
the now raging maniac was secured, after
this bloody encounter, can be better mag
ined than described The parties are all
citizens of Union county. d. S. Norville
has held the Office of Justice of the Peace
in said county for many years, and served
as Captain with the "hundred days mem
during the war.
1t is said there has been bad feeling be-
tween Marshall and Norville for some time
past, and we are told Marshall has recently
made threats against the life of Norville.-
Whether this was the case, or whether the
excitement developed homicidal mania
in Marshall, we are not in a position to

The Chitaren's Guest.


When the early stars are twinkling,
Al d the children leave their play,
When the darkness, Ike curtain,
Shuts out the cares Of day,
In walks quaint old fellow
Whose footsteps make no sound,
And all among the little folks
The santl-nlan goes his round.
Oh ! wondrous grains he scattcrs,
Like n sower as he goes 'I
But where he turks in daylight
Not anybody knows
Perhaps he helps the fairies
To gather sapny CLEANS
And butterepps and dewdrops,
To make our Happy dreams.
How lie sots tho ayes a-blnkingl
Thou sudden silence falls.
And sits bedtime bedtime n
The CHEEKY cricket calls;
And sleepy heads are nodding
With courtesy profound,
Bidding goodnight to the sandman
Who goes upon his round

sR+ A virtuoso organist once played a
piece in so mastery style that all the lis
'teners stood in silent admiration. When
it was finished, the bellows blower jumped
up, rubbed his hands and exclaimed, "We

A new piece was then commenced; but, in
the midst of one of the finest passages, the

the organ in astonishment. The bellows

A TERRIBLE IMPLEMENT.--A Toulouse
paper says the trial of the new small can
non, "the most terrible arm yet invented
continues at Meudon. "None know their
mechanism, except the artillery officers who
direct the experiments. Cannon, carriages
and ammunition are brought in leather
valises, and the trials take place behind q
screen ofplanks. All that can be known
is that at twenty five hundred metres, these
arms. send perfect hail of balls against a
target two metres high and one broad. At
that distance the balls pierced an iron plate
two centimetres thick. Each cannon can
fire twenty shots in minute, and two men
suffice for the transport of the arm, the car
rage, the ammunitio etc. LatelYathese
guns were tried against clump 81 ircS u
fifteen hundred metres nearly an English
mile.) The trees were moved down in Il
few minutes, like corn-feld by steam

six men, armed with such an engine, could
destroy whole regiment in few minutes"
Persons who have heard them practising
with these new cannon. at Meudon have
described the sound as being almost like

Ogle Comes again .

Old politicians will remember that In tho
Presidential campaign of 1910, Mr.. Ogle Of
Pennsylvania made a speech in Congress charg-
ing Mr.. Van Buren,, with great extravaganza In
the White House and with having large num-
Der Of gold spoons, furnished by the govern
mcnt &c. The speech was circulated all over
the land as evidence Of the extravaganza OF
that Admins tration. Well Mr.. Van Buren,
was voted down and General Harrison was
made President, and In few months or weeks
after Gene raj Harisons Inauguration. an appro.
priatiou of something more than hundred
thousand doll ars was asked for and voted to
make the White House decent, notwithstand-
ing General Harrison's would have all the gold
spoons, and costly carpets, that had been deem
cd SO eXtravgant in Mr.. Van Duran. The fact
was the White House was not decently furnish
ed ut the time, the whole country had been
made to believe, thai the President was living
in luxurious extravaganza ut the expense of
the nation. We only recall this incident to
show how well artful and designing men will
sometimes make the public believe IN enor.

The Facts VS.. Dem ocratic
Orators

The New York World Of Monday morn.
;ny in its editorial columns has the follow
ing somewhat startling exposition "oi the
style of economy (which the radicals are
trying to perpetuate by 1.-The election OF
Grant,
"In one month the national debt increas-
ed S53 000 600 or at the rate of over Sl3
000,oO0 per week, 81, So7.l42.S5 Per day
SU.3S0 per hour, aud Sl2S9 per minute.
and oFer $2l per second. How do the
people like this style of economy which the
radicals are trying to perpetuate by the
election OF Grant:'
AS the period covered by the last dsht
statement was two months instead of one
and as the increase was only about thirteen
millions intsead Of fifty-three, the value OF
the above mathematical calculation is ap-
parently not very great to such of its read
ers as have any intelligence. But perhaps
this Was prepared for the other class of it's
readers, as, appealing "from Philip drunk
to Philip SOBER" or in other words from
the World on the fifth page to the very
same paper on the third, we find com.
mentary on the debt ST tement prepared
by its financial writer, which sensible PEG.
Pile can read with profit. 1t Is as follows /:
1.-The statement Of the public debt on
August I, compared with that of June l.
1867. a year ago. shows the progress that
has been made In fund.- the short and
temporary loans into long bonds. and also
that the aggregate debt bearing interest
has been decreased $50 0S6S75 in that
bearing currency interest and Increased
siS5.727.S59 in that bearing coin interest,
showing an aggregate decreas. of eS5 900.
900 in the III 'ded debt. This movement
mnst be exceedingly satisfactory to the
public creditor. and must tend To strength
en- the national credit and market for onI
bonds. The total amount of the debt less
cash in the Treasury, on August l. shows
a total increase only s7.9lS.544 since
June l. 1867. notwithstanding the fact that
since that date government has issued S32.
2l0 900 6 per cent lawful M )ney bonds to
the Pacific Railroad compa MES which are
included in the present total Of the debt.
Exclusive Of these Pacific Railroad bonds
the national debt has decreased about 925,
900, 900. compared with June l, 1897"
