The business of the Court.

The Court of Common Pleas is closing
Its second week, and what is remarkable,
kept up with the clerks assignment of
the causes until it took up the case of the
Union National Bank of Wassillon against
Moses Oppenheimer ct al, which, as we
write on Thursday morning, is on trial,
the particulars of which we shall give
next week.
There have, during the past week, been
several trials of interest, among which
may be named the case of John Pc. ry and
wife against Christian Z. Stouffer, which
was an action brought by the plaintiffs to
recover damages for an assault alleged to
have been committed by the defendant
upon the plaintiffs wife. Our limits will
not permit us TO give a statement of the
case or the proof. The verdict was for TIE
plaintiff in the sum of $40.
The case of George Shofer and sons
against Steese and Warwick was commen-
ced on Friday, and occupied the remain
der of the week, and resulted in a verdict
of $500 for the plaintiff.
The Court on Monday with the action
Of Patrick Kelly against Ca-ist Z. Stout
fer, a suit brought TO recover of the de-
PENDANT for speaking with malice certain
false and de.amatory words of and con-
corning the plaintiffs. The damages were
laid in the petition at $1,000, the jury re-
turned a verdict $50O-McSweeney for
pPf, Folger for deft.
A large amount of routine business has
been done b" the court not of special in
terest to any but the parties and attorneys.
The important case Of Wilson against
the Willow Bank Coal Co. owing to
amendments in the p!eaG.ngs, the case will
probably be continued, as Will several
others of a similar character.

In our notice last week Of the Oberly
c~ontiagration, we were not aware of the
fremen remaining az the fire. until %
o'clock in the morning. laboring very hard
as the storm arose and endangered all
surrounding property, by reviving the
flames. Our hremen cannot receive too
much praise from the citizens for their de-
votion and energy in a time of such great
danger. It should be remembered they
are volunteer firemen, and whatever they
do in that line is dore from motives of
pure public spirit. The buildings on fire
were old finder boxes, andb for The excel
lent management and energy, with our
grand water arrangements, an extended
and more damaging confiagration might
have occurred. Sheriff Dunbar, chief of
the fire department, was on hand all the
time, directing the operations.
There is too much p~roneness at times
among some of u citizens to blame the
fire companies. 1t is q very easy matter
to find fault, but it should be remembered
these volunteer iremen are eve ready, at
all hours, to expose themselves to danger
on the alarm of fire, and we think too
much praise can not be given for their dis
interestedness.

A Double Child.

Mrs. Ann Eliza Findly, wife of Mr.. 10.
seph Findly, residing in Peru tp., Morrow
county, 7 miles from Ashley, about three
weeks ago, gave birth to a double child,
which is the greatest curiosity we ever
heard or read of. Mr.. T. NJ. Walker, of
~Bellefontaine, who made an examination
of this lusus n~atur0e, describes it as fol-
lows:
There are two heads and bodies, well
formed and defned-the bodies joining
into n at the hip joint. Each child is
perfect IN all respects above the hips, with
arms and all the members complete. At
the junction of the bodies two perfect legs
grow out at right angles OF one side, and
a double leg, OF two legs grown together
project at right angles on the other side OF
the body.
Each child receives n~ourishment from
its mother, and what is remarkable, when
one child nurses the other appears salts
fed. The bowels, by some freak of ma
ture, JOIN together, and there is but one
canal to carry away the excrement from
the bowels. The child, or children, or
whatever else you ma please to call it, is
of the female gender, and enjoys good
health, with every sign of a continuation
of life. We understand that the parents
have been offered $4,000 if they will
travel two years to exhibit this remarka-
bic specimen of animated nature, but be-
eng in comfortable circumstances, they
positively refused the tempting offer.

Card.

The undersigned desires to express his
sincere thanks to the fremen and citizens
of Canton, for their noble efforts to save
his property from destruction by fire on
the night of the 18th inst. Although his
loss was considerable, he is very grateful
that from the efforts put forth they are
not greater.
The citizens of Canton should be proud
Of their fremen and water works, for
without them much damage would have
been done to the property OF other citizens.
Let every encouragement be given to
the fremen by furnishing an abundance
of good hose, so that the water works
can be made available.
With much gratitude that my losses
are not greater than they are,

From the Warren CO) Chronicle we get the fol-

Nelson Ledge, which consists Of a Narrow
range of rocks, of conglomerate formation OF
white pebbles and sand, and resembling some
what IN appearance the concrete material used
lor buldiAg purposes, is situate in Nelson, south
east corner township of Portage county, and
about IL miles northwest from Warren. About a
year ago a Mr. Bartlett visited a natural curiosity
IN the neighborhOod, called the Gave of the Wa
terfall, and while exploring it. picked up a piece
OF quartz rock, which was pronounced by experts

proved the ledge to be of an average of two feet
thick, and Permeated by two fine lines of the two
metals named Since then the facts have been
developed that there are extensive bodies Of this
quartz, containing great amounts of precious
metals, the yield being estimated at Slg,25 per ton
OF rock The discovery was kept quie. until
about 1900 acres Of land in the ledge region had
been secured by lease. But there being some
doubt as to whether the original IeOses, which
were made ostensibly for coal and iron ore-al-
though other mineral substances" were inclu-
ded-would full cover gold and silver, a recent
meeting OF the lessees and lessons, at which new
leases were executed embracing the precious
metals. the company agreeing to give the farmers
70 per cent OF the net product. A company was
organized to carry on the mining, and if il should
prove a paying speculation, machinery for crush
ing the rock will be procured, and the business
pushed with energy"

THERE was a doctor in Pittsburgh who
was running Or7afice on the Democratic
ticket. Recently he vas called to attend
a poor Chinese woman, and he succeeded
in bringing into the world bouncing al
mond eyed twins. The very rext day his
name was stricken from the ticket, upon
the charge that he was assisting Coolie
immigration. The Executive Committee
told hum they would never support a man
who had so little regard for the dignity of
workingmen Rep. and Rep.
Served him right. He had no business
to be a Chinese doctor. This is probably
the reason the Democratic ticket in Pitts
bmgh and western Pennsylvania gained
50 large at the late election. That doctor
had better join the radical Chinee party at
once.

a MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.
n Murder-The Body See

We stated, last week, that the dead body of a
man had been found in a field four miles north of
town, having been shot. We made the statement
on reports which were generally circulating at
the time; which were ineOrrect-2t least so far as
finding the body. We have cleaned the following
facts concerning the affair: A man named Hover,
said 10 be unusually loose in morals, reported
that hethad shot at u man who attempted TO carry
on a dipnet. and hoped he had"setted his hash.h
Inc report OF a gun was heard by several neigh
DOrs, who also heard the cry of a man in dis
tress. The following evening, aman named Louis

he had found the dead body OF man in the field.

once went TO Justice Wrocklage, a couple miles
distant, and informed him of what Nice had seen.
Nices.in the meantime, had been detailed to watch
over the corpse, but as Nice says, while thus en-
gagged, he MAS seized hold OF by a man unknown
TO him; his clothes nearly torn off him, and dee
made affidavit to the above, and search for the
murdered man Was commenced by drawing the
water OF the canal, where twas thought the bo-
dy was thrown, but without any result At this
stage OF the proceedings, Nice protested that
what he had said and sworn to was false. and only
the lmaginingS of a mind disturbed by deiirium

story TO be true, and think there has been some
foul crime committed, cut in consequence Of the
mystery which surrounds the transaction from
