Rev. W. H. Crawford, the talehted and
erudite teacher of the Sweetwater Insti-
tute, has favored our citizens with a Sc
ries of lectures on the P~rophesies, bearing
upon the Malenial period, commencing
with the "Rosurrection;" the Seeming Of
Christi" the ''signs of the second coming;"
the "Literary signso of the Second Coming"
On last Monday night his lecture was
founded on the 9th chapter of Genesis.
Subject: The different races Of man. In
the discussion of these subjects the Rev.
gentleman gave evidence of his perfect ac-
quaintance with the Scriptures and his
competency to unfold their histories.
His lecture on Monday night next will
be continuation of Scripture evidences
of the near approach Of the promised Ma
linium, or, Second Coming of Christ. The
text will be founded upon the Sd chapter
of Paul's ID Epistle to Timothy We are
glad to witness an increased interest, on
the part of our citizens, in these lectures,
for certainly there is no subject that more
intimately concerns our fallen race.
Nl"Be ye also ready, for ye know not
when the Son of Man cometh.'

Prof. Dodge and the Live Indian.

We have not witnessed a larger crowd
of people in Sweetwater for some time
than was here on Tuesday last. This
large crowd was drawn here by the adj
vent of Dodge, a Professor of Mathamat-
les, and a real, live Indian Of the Usage
Tribe, dressed in his native garb, with a
profusior of gew-gaws and snowy orna-
ments about his person. His hair was
closely shaved, leaving only a top-not, and
being deliberately besmeared with "war-
paint" he presented a wild and snowy APP
peorance. The crowd being eager to wit
ness the "noble red man" ride the v%eloci-
pede, he proceeded to the front of the
Depot where he done the best he could,
considering the ~rougbness of the ground.
At the conclusion of the velocipede exer-
cises, the Professor invited the assembled
crowd to the Presbyterian Church, where
the Indian made a speech in his native
tongue, after which the Professor delivered
an interesting address, attho conclusion of
which he formed q class Of some thirty
persons to learn his plan of mathematics
at three dollars each. We learn that all
who entered the class were we'll pleased
with the Instructions received.

THE TRUE EVIDENCE At LAST.
Their Innocence Established beyond
n Doubt.
4 SILENT BIT POWERFUL WIT
MSS FOUND.

The readers OF the JOURNAL doubt
less remember the case OF the State
rs. John and Henry Shaneyfelt, In
dicted for grand larceny, which was
tried in this county about four years
ago. The defandents were buying
and shipping cattle. A brindle COW
belonging To "A Mr.. Meyer, residing
near Deerfeld, was missing about the
time ;hat the defendants passed thrO'
that place with drove Of cattle they
were bringing To this point for ship
ment. They were at once arrested
for stealing and driving her of, seve-
raj witnesses swearing very positively
that they saw the cow in the defend
ants drove, their attention having
been attracted by the familiar sound
Of the cows bell. The evidence was
seemingly conducive rs To their guilt;
and had IL not been for Uncle Johnny
Williamson, our present Recorder, at
that time agent of the Belefontaine
Railroad at this place, they would un-
doubtediy have been sent To the pen
itentiary. Mr.. Williamson had ex-
amined the cattle very closely, and
was very positive in his testimony
that there was no brindle cow among
them. This raised doubt ~ to the
guilt of the accused, in the minds Of n
part of the jury, which resulted in a
disagreement and discharge of the
jury.
\ change Of venue was then taken
To Wayne county, where the case
still remains untried, il having been
continued from term to term. With
in the past lew days discovery was
made which establishes their inno-
cence beyond doubt. The skeleton
OF COW was found in swamp. The
bell, strap and horns, have been identi-
fled by Mr.. Meyer and several Of his
neighbors. The cow had wandered
into the swamp, mircd down ana per.
ishcl.
This is one Of the most remarkable
cases on record. That the witnesses
for the prosecution swore To what
they believed TO he true, we have no
reason TO doubt; yet the recent discov-
cry proves them To have been badly
mistaken. The case will of course be
dismissed But an injustice was done
that can not be so easily remedied.
Aside from the anxiety, time and
money it has cost them, the reputa-
ton Of the young men has, for the
time at least, been ruined.

During the past week we have had
a number OF men come in and place
their names upon our subscription
book, remarking rs they did so that,
a. election times came on, they want
ed To know the state OF affairs in the
county. This is commendable
spirit. In government of the peo-
pie" every voter should know precise
~ how the two parties stand in his
own nelghborhood. No other means
will bring this Information so readily
Is the home newspaper.
Some, also, have subscribed for Il
friend living n. n distance, thus con-
veying abroad intelligence concerning
the country. This may result in many
cases To the benefit of all in the coun-
~. Men are continually seeking pla-
ces for homes, for farms, for business
of all kinds. and often the county
newspaper is consulted with reference
To these matters. 1t is an index Of the
county or town where it is published.
Therefore if your home paper is "a
good one, take il and send il abroad,
that others may know of your town
and country; if it is not II good one
come in with subscriptions, with items
of home interest, and thereby assist to
make it n good one. We invite all
who know that their neighbors do not
take home paper, to bring them up
to the Office, whether Democratic or
Republican, that they may see, hear
and then subscribe.
