SUIcIDE.-We learn by friend that
Mr.. Henry M'Cloud, of Granger, Me-
dina county, committed suicide on
Tuesday morning last by hanging
We have been able to learn but few OF
the particulars, but are told that he
arose that morning as usual and went
to the barn to do his chores, telling his
wife that if he was not back by the
time breakfast was ready, not to wait
for him. After getting breakfast ready,
and waiting awhile, she went to the
barn to call him, and there found him
hanging by leather hitching strap
tied to the purline plate, his feet rest
ing upon the hay. She Immediately
raised him up, united the strap and let
him down. Finding life extinct, she
ran to the nearest neighbor's and gave
the alarm. No cause can be assigned
for his committing the fatal act which
has plunged his family into such pro-
found grief. Ae was an only son of
Mr.. John M'Cloud, respectable citi-
zen living in the same town, and was
married but a few months since to the
daughter of Mr.. P. II. Anmerman, Of
Sharon, and was just beginning life
with as fair prospects of future useful
ness and prosperity as often falls to
the lot of human life. His tragic death
Will be severe blow to his young
wife, and we extend to her our SYM
pathies in her terrible bereavement

This fanatical advocate of woman's
rights, female suffrage and other nom
sense, appeared before a large audi
ence, on Saturday evening, at Days
Hall, and for over an hour and a halt
amused his hearers with fancied
wrongs of the married and unmarried
more especially the unmarried wo-
man of America, and Theodore Til
tons plans for complete and perfect
remedy for all the evil cursing this
fair land, removing The social evil
making woman better, happier and
more useful to herself and to man,
raising politics and politicians to the
moral level of Sunday Schools, &C.,
&c; this goal of perfection to be
reached by placing the ballot in wo-
mans hands. The speaker was lis
tened to throughout with marked at
tention, winning the same by his fer
vid eloquence, ready and apt wit and
earnestness of manner, and we have
no doubt many of the female portion
of his hearers were inclined, at the
time, to fall in with the lecturers
views, but we cannot believe that such
fanatical teachings will meet the ap-
probation of the sober second thought
of the intelligent women ofSAmerica,
even when rung in their ears by such
an able advocate as Mr.. Tilton.

Another Ring,

2 Here's another ring, loil of course
they mostly are. There was some in
terest to pay ON the first of this cur
rent month on portion of the NORTH
CAROLINA State debt, some 100000
or so. 1t wasn't paid. The recon-
structed State Treasurer comes out in
letter to state the pain this sad affair
gives him, and the bogus Governor
supp lements this wall with a sob of
his own. But now, mark you where
the ring comes in. 1t would have
been easy to borrow this money and
meet the interest, but, being met, the
State bonds would have held their
own, or even, perhaps, gone up. 1t
was desir ed they should go down;
therefore no interest was paid, and
they did go down. Being down, the
ring buys heavily and then advertises
to pay the interest. This plueks up
drowned honor by the locks; bonds
advance the ring sells, and pockets a
fortune at the expense of the credit of
the. State that for some inscrutable
reason is, for the present, delivered
over into its hands - World.

GRANT AND THE PAc1r1c RAILROAD

uzlIRANT AND THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.
NO one can now accuse the Radical
party of a want of adaptability to the
situation. One of the arguments used
for the election of Grant was the gov
ernmental aid afforded and to be af-
forded to the Pacific Railroad. Now
that Gen. Grant has flown the track
on that point, they are of course OBJ
liged to swallow the leek, and Sena-
tor Trumbull, in recent speech, came
into line with the following novel ar
gunent: Suppose Gen! Grant does
refuse further aid, how much aid, let
me ask, would Democratic Admin
istration have furnished to this road ?''

HORSE THIEF ARREsTED.-On last
Thursday morning, a young man
came to town having in his possession
a large black horse, top buggy, near
ly new, and silyer-pIated harness,
the whole of the value of $500 or $500,
which he Immediately set himself to
work to dispose of-ofering the s'rig'
at so low a figure as to lead to the be-
lief that the property had been stolen.
He was arrested by officer Buck, ON
suspicion of having stolen the proper
ty, and furnished safe quarters at the
"Cross Bar" Within an hour or two
the suspicious were confirmed by the
appearance of Marshal Burlison, of
Akron, in company with the real
owner of the property, Mr.. Eliery
Law, of Granger, Medina county,
from whom it had been stolen the
night previous. The property was
delivered to its rightful owner, and
the prisoner to the Akron officer, to
be taken to Medina, there to be dealt
with according to the law in such cases
made and provided.

HEAVY JUDemENT.-A suit was in
stituted in the Court of Common

ney General, to determine an unset
tied account between the State and
the Ohio Life Insurance and Trust
Company, remaining from May l, '56,
to August d, '57. The State claimed
a balance of $13,5e6 20 and interest,
and the Trust Company claimed a bal
ance of S15S,547 IS with interest
The Court has just given a Judgment
of 1888 81 in favor of the Trustee
of the company. This judgment is
much less than the amount found due
from the State by the Legislative COM
mittee appointed in 1858.
