A Wife Worth Having.

nr. JOnaGuan AuraQu 8, OF AMANDA
township, and of Mr.. Ruthrauff
starting Reaper and Mower for
Mr. A. We have since learned that
Mr.. Aurand was unable, owing to
scarcity of hands, to procure suffi-
cient help to harvest his wheat, and
that Mrs. A. volunteered to drive
the reaper, and did SO until the
whole of forty acres was harvested.
Mrs. A. is an excellent housekeeper,
as we know from personal observa-
ton, and we do not believe that as
a harvest hand she can be surpassed
in the State by any of her sex.
s Such woman is worth u thousand
OF the fashionable ladies" who
shrek at the sight oc a toad or
swoon in the presence of a spider.
We hope Mrs. A. will forgive the
appearance of her name in print

On Monday evening Of last week,
Mr.. Steel Lewis, living some four
miles east of Mansfield, in Mitf1in tp.
went to Petersburg to get some
part Of reaper mended, riding a
mule. The same night the mule
came home with the saddle turned.
The family becoming alarmed pro-
ceeded in search Of Mr.. Lewis, who
was iE the habit occasionally of
drinking to intoxication, and found
him the next morning on the road
nearly lifeless, the mule having
dragged him in the stirrup about a
quarter of mile. He died from
his injuries the next day. He leaves
q family to mourn this sad bereave-
lnent.-Mansfeld Herald.
An ANNOYING ARREsT.-On Tues
day evening, E. A. Abbott ESQ.,, a
Deputy United States Marshall Wis
tied this town and served warrant
of arrest upon Messrs. Salisbury q
Grey, provision mere hants here, at
the complaint Of one E. B. Lewis,
for selling cans of Sardines with
out stamps.
1t appears that the cans are pur-
chased of the wholesale dealers by
the box and that in each box is
placed the requisite amount OF
stamps which cannot be stuck on
the cans in consequence of their
oily nature.
Messrs. Salisbury & Grey had
fortunately purchased these Sar
dimes at Cleveland, and Mr.. Grey
in response to the writ, went to
Cleveland at once where he found
no difficulty in vindicating the acts
of his firm and procuring a dismissal
of the case. He returned home al
once but not until this merely tech
nical neglect to observe the letter OF
the law had cost the firm much
anxiety, annoyance and time, and
about $50 Of expenseses.-Bucyrus
Journal.
HORSE THIEVES ABoUr.-On Sat
urday night last Mr.. Hosea Main, OF

NAL and the capture of the thief
. and had made some liberal invest
ments in printers ink when he re
ceived intelligence that the stole1
mare was found on the Mt. Vernon
road, in the eastern part of thu
county, wandering back toward thu
home of her owner. Whoever hat
taken the animal had apparently
ridden it until it was exhausted, ant
then abandoned it.-Delaaeay'e Gos

excitement was caused near tn,
southwest corner of the Squar,
between the temperance lecturer
Shafer, and some Of the saloon keep
ers and their friends. For shor
time there was right smart chanc

the noisy element spent its force il
