The water having been all pumped out of
this extensive Golfer dam, comprising sew.

is correct, considerable mistake must

FIRE IL ANDALUsIA. About II o'clock
on Tuesday night, FIRE broke out in the
wagon mandatory of Ballard Il Ross, at
Andalusis, which resulted in the destruction
of the shops. The buildings were insured
for $500, which only partially covers the
loss. 1t was with considerable difficulty
that the citizens managed to save the lum.
Der Office Of Thompson & Smith, opposite.
The FIRE originated in the north west corner
of the wood shop, and is supposed to have
been the work of en- incendiary, as there
was but little FIRE in the stove during the day,
and the stove Is in another part of the shop.

"ovzR THE Way"



Gone in her childish purity
out from the golden day;
Fading away in the light so sweet, meet
Where the Silver stars and the sunbeams
Paving path for her waXen feet
Over the silent way.
Over the bosom tendorly
The pearl white hands are pressed;
The lashes lie on the cheek so thin, lbeen
Where the softest blush Of the rose hath
Shutting the blue of her eyes within
The pure lids closed in rest.
Over the sweet brow loviAgly
Twineth her sunny hair;
She was SO frail that Love sent down,
From his heavenly gems, that soft, bright
To shade her brow with its waves SO brown
Light as the dimpling air.
Gone to sleep with the tender smile
Froze on her silent lips,
BY the farewell kiss of her dewy breath,
Cold in the clasp of the angel Of death,
Like the last fair bud of a fading wreath
Whose bloom the white frost nips.
Rosebud under your shady leaf
Hid from the sunny day,
DO you miss the glance of the eye so bright
Whose blue was heaven in your timid sighti
It's beaming now in the world Of Light
Over the starry way.
Hearts where the darling's head hath lain,
Held by loves shining ray, hand
Do you know that the touch Of her gentle
Doth brighten the harp in the unknown
landY
Oh, she waits for us with the angel band
Over the starry way.

6 o'clock, while the matron of the
Ohio Penitentiary was locking up
the convicts in their cells for the
night, a woman named Williams,
sent from Hamilton County for
five years, for grand larceny, slip
ped out of her cell and secreted
herself behind a door. When the
matron passed near her hiding

knocked her down, and made her
escape. She was caught, this morn

miles from the city, and returned
