Some Queer Definitions.

Few persons are aware how much
knowledge is some times necessary TO
give the etymology and definition of a
word. 1t is easy to define words, as
certain persons satirized by Pascal have
defined light: "a luminzry movement
of luminous bodies;" or as q Western
Judge once defined murder to jury ::
Murder, gentlemen, is when a man is
murderously killed. 1t is the murder
ing that constitutes murder in the eyes
of the law. Murder, in short, is-mur-
der.u We have all smiled at Johnson IS
definition of RetaUOrk: "Networll-any-
thing reticulated or discussed at equal
distances, with interstices between the
intersections" Many the definitions
in our dictionaries remind one of Bar
dolph's attempt to analyze the term &C
coDalRodatiOn: Accommodation
is, when a maI is, as they say accom-
modating; or when man is being
whereby he may be thought to be ac-
commodated, which is an excellent
thing.n Birthstone, for an example,
the photographer defines by telling us
that it is sulphur; and then rewards us
for the trouble we have had in turning
to sulphur, by telling us that it is 6riBa-
stone The eccentric Davy Crockett,
whose SAleIlOI IpuS ilhSoS Nelitu IL great
deal of mother wit, happily characieriz-
ed this whole tribe of photographers by
remark he once made to Western
member of Congress, When the latter,
in a speech on bill for increasing the
number of hospitals, wearied his hear
ers by incessent repetitionA''Sit down."

out of the same hole you went in IT,
1t is said that forty members of the
French Academy once undertook to de-
fine the word crab, and hit upon this,

The Next Censns

The Census Committee has substan-
TALLY agreed upon the leading points OF
the bill they will present to the House
as soon as it meets. 1t provides for the
by the President, on ad-
vice and consent of the Senate, of a
Commissioner of the Ninth Census.
whose office shall expire in three years
from the date of his commission. He is
to have rooms in the Interior Depart
ment, and be subject to the general
orders of the Secretary thereof. The
Secretary on his nomination shall ap-
point one Deputy Commissioner for
each Congressional District. These are
to report to and receive orders from the
Commissioner at Washington. The
census is to be taken during June next,
and solely by the Deputy Commissioners
and such persons as they may engage in
the various towns end cities TO help
them. The committe is to meet again
next Saturday, to consider the details of
the bill, and determine upon the sched-
ule for adoption.

Albert d. Richardson Shot.

New YORK, November 25.-Albert l..
Richardson, formerly war correspondent
and long an attache of the New York
Tribune, was shot this evening and il is
thought fatally wounCed, by Paul Nc
Farland, a lawyer by profession, between
whom and Richardson has existed for a
considerable time past an estrangement
caused by an alleged intimacy OF the
latter with the formers wife. Mcfarland,
who seems to have had eptree of the
Tribune Office, was standing behind the
counter in the business department, in
conversation with one Of the employees.
About 6 o'clock this evening Mr.. Rich
ardson entered the Tribune Office, and
going up to the counter, entered into
conversation with a young man who
was in the habit of working for him. a
few minutes after Richardson'sen entrance,
Mcfarland walked over toward him,
and without saying word, fired
pistol, the ball from which wounded
Richardson in the abdomen. The
wounded man, without saying word,
walked up to the Tribune editorial
rooms, whence he was conveyed to the
Astor House to have the wound attend
ed to. He is not expected to recover.
Mcfarland has been arrested. There
to this deliberate deed a difficulty be-
tween Mcfarland and Richardson oc-
Cured over year ago. Richardson, at
the time referred TO, denied the charges
of improper intimacy with McFarland's s
wife, but published a card stating his
intention to marry her after divorce
had been procured.
The shooting of Richardson by Me
Farland was entirely the result of his
old hatred, based on the belief that
Richardson has alienated his wife's af
fections. Richardson's engagement to
Mrs. Mcfarland took place after her
separation from her husband. Since
Richardson was shot by Mcfarland, two
years ago, he has met Mcfarland a
number of times, and no demonstration
to attack Richardson has taken place.
Persons in the Tribune office think
Mcfarland was under the influence of
liquor.
At this hour (midnight) Richardson is
easier, and hopes are entertained for his
recovery, as the ball seems to be lodged
in the stomach. His rooms in the Astor
Horse have been visited by many prom
inent citizens and hosts of friends, anx-
iously inquiring about his condition.
There is a feeling of deep indignation in
the community against the man who
has twice attempted deliberate assassi-
nation.

EDUCATION AL

THERE will probably be no meeting of
the Board of School Examiners of this
county, before sometime in February.
We believe, however, that they are
authorized to anti-date Teachers Ger.
tificate so as to cover the time interven-
ing between the date of last previous
meeting and the meeting at which the
certificate is given. If this is so, then
teachers who can stand an examination
and are certain to secure q certificate,
may engage schools and teach before
their examination, but if they fail on
will not be able to collect pay for the
time they have taught.

The lawyers, and that means the great

The lawyers, and that means the great
body of Congress, and the leaders OF
parties are earnestly discussing the ap-
pointment by the President for the va
cancy in the old Supreme Court, made
by the death of Justice Wayne, of Geor-
gia, and the nine judges for the nine
circuits provided for nthe act of Con-
gress which takes effect on the 1st OF
December. The retirement of Justice
Grier is again rumored, which would
necessitate two new men on the old
bench. No former Executive has been
called upon to discharge duty more
solemn. The gravity of the questions
that have been passed in review by the
Supreme Court, some, indeed most OF
which await decision, and the new
and dangerous assumption set up by the
majority of that body, will require tried
Capacity as lawyers and as patriots in
new judges. The President will. have
the whole bar of the nation from which
to choose.

THE COUNTY SEAT aUEsTION.sZli

THE COUNTY BEAT QOESIlONssZlf
1t will be seen by reference to our ad-
vertising and local columns, that this
question is attracting some attention.
Two advertisements giving notice of re-
moval movements in favor of Kirkwood
and Belmont, and a Martins Ferry
Communication opposing removal unless
to that place, makes it look as five were
going to have a lively time on that sub
ject. We are decidedly in favor of ;" Spar
tansn proposal for the Northwest R. R.,
up little McMahan's Creek, and thence
via Wheeling Greek, Saltwater, &C., to
intersect the proposed road from Marri-
eta to Urichsville, and thence via New
Philadelphia &C., to Toledo. There is
far more in that movement, to build up
Bellaire, than could be worked out of a
dozen County Seat movements, and We
would advise those who really feel an
interest in the growth of that thriving
place to agitate that subject. Bellaire's
future is in Manufactures, and Machine
shops, and these are built up by local
conveniences and Market facilities. One
Railroad that opens up wide field for
the demand and consumption of Bel
laire's iron, nails, glass, worked lumber
&C., would be of far more benefit to the
town and add more to its real growth
and prosperity than the acquisition of a
score or two of hungry lawyers, and
half-a-dozen hungry office-holders. We
advise them to look after this railroad.
