Police Items.

James Gall, of Brushcreek tp., was fin
ed by Mayor Gardner on Monday, 81 and
costs for riding on the sidewalks.
Joseph Atwell, James Kidd, Lewis
Smith, and Mike Stroup, all young men
from the country except Atwell, got on a
"high" last Saturday night, and INDUCED
in throwing stones at persons on the
streets, and various other disorderly con-
duct. They finally, about midnight, went
into the County Recorders office, of which
young Stroup had been temporarily left in
charge by the Recorder, during brief alb
sence in the country, and were having a
fine carouse, every one of the party being
drunk, and the valuable records and pa
pers of the Office exposed to the danger of
fire from their lamp, when Marshal Lyle,
who had been watching their movements,
suddenly broke in upon them, and arrest
ed the whole concern. They were march
ed to the Calaboose, where they had time
to sober off before morning, when Mayor
Gardner assessed the costs OF their "fun"
at Sc each for Atwell, Kidd and Smith,
and IS for Stroup, which they paid and
departed, it is to be hoped, ashamed of
their conduct, and determined to do bet
ter in future.
We learn that the Recorder had given
Stroup orders to lock up the office at
night, and of course never dreamed of his
going there to have drunken carouse
with his companions. He will learn to
be more cautious in future as to whom he
leaves in charge while absent.

The Bible in the Schools.

II
REV. J. F. MARLAY, of the NJ. E.
Church, preached an able sermon last
Sunday evening, against the exclusion
of the Bible from the Common Schools.
He gave some startling facts, proving
the hostility of the Pope and the Ro-
man Catholic priesthood to our Com
mon School system, and their deter
mination to break it down if possible,
and substitute sectarian schools in its
pIace, He also showed the alarming
progress they were making towards
the accomplishment of their object in
New York City, where the large for
eign Catholic vote has enabled them
to control the corrupt politicians of
that city. He thought it was high
time ProtPstants of all denominations
should rouse themselves and unite to
defeat the unhallowed efforts of Pope
ry to destroy one of our most valu-
able and cherished institutions.
We have heard a general desire ex-
pressed that Mr.. Marlay would per-
NIT his sermon to be published, and
we hereby tender him our columns
for that purpose.

LYNCHBURG, April %, 1870.
Mr.. EDGToR:-I have not forgotten my
promise to write occasionally for the
"News." have only been waiting for
something to turn up.
As to Improvements, there are several
in contemplation. There is to be a bridge
built this Spring across the East Fork, at
the second ford below the distiIIery. This,
it is supposed, will best accommodate the
people, this place being accessible to both
the WebertOwn and MartinsvilIe roads
The successful bidder for this job was your
enterprising citizen and accomplished ar
chitect, Mr.. Gregg. CThey tell me he
prays in lieu of our minister when he visits
the church in Hillsboro. That's eLever)
Also, there is a fine prospect for a new
pike from this place, to intersect the
Hillsboro pike at Jacksonville. Judge
Torrie-our worthy Mayor--and others,
have been active in securing subscribers
for this road. Nothing does Lynchburg
need more than some good pixies. I am
glad that our citizens are awaking to the
Importance of good roads. We have en-
terprising merchants, some fine dwellings
and rather spirited town-especialIy if
we reckon the distilled spirits.
Our young people gave public Enter
tainment, consisting of a popular play, in
terspersed with appropriate music, on
Friday night, the 22d. It was for the
| benefit of the Division Of the Sons Of Tenn
perance, and was quite a successful affair.
Some difference of opinion exists among
our people with regard to the propriety OF
engaging in these popular plays, and
there was some amusement with regard
to the bill gotten up by the "Sons and
Daughters" but-we hope that all things
will work out for good. IMPETUS.

WHITE BARBER WANTED.
The Biggest Fool Yet.

We have beard Democrats frequently
declare that they'd "die before they would
vote beside a nigger," but of course they
were only joking. 1t remained for sold
Kentucky''--the home of deacon Pogram"
and the "Rev. Petroleum Nasby"-to pro-
duce a Democrat who when he said he'd
die, &c, meant it. Our exchanges this week
contain the following item:
Mr.. Jameson, a Cynthiana, Ky. farmer,
"suicided" in disgust at the enfranChise-
ment of the negroes. He had always said,
when talking of the subject, that "he
would die before he would see niggers
voting beside him."
Farewell, Jameson! He has gone where
no Fifteenth Amendment" will ever vex
his silly soul again. Reqwtescat in pace!

ladies' SDeciaI.

Mrs. LAZARUS has just received and
opened large and nice Lot of Seasonable
Millinery and Ladies' Fancy Goods, and is
justified in saying that she can sell as
cheap as the cheapest, the Stock being an
entire new one, bought at the lowest
prices, and selected with considerable
taste. She is a irst-class Milliner, and
any work left with her will be satisfacto-
riIy attended to and at reasonable rates.
The Ladies are respectfully invited to
call and examine her stock and prices, at
her store on High street, 4 doors south of
the Woodrow House. ap2lw2

The Railroad Meeting Next
Thursday.

The indications are that the Railroad
Meeting in this place next Thursday,
will be attended by delegates from
Pike, Jackson, Scioto, Highland, and
perhaps Lawrence aud GalIia counties.
The people all along the line appear
to be waking up to the importance OF
the enterprise, and will manifest their
interest by taking the proper steps to
be represented.
Wesuggest to our citizens that timely
arrangements should be made to en-
tertain the delegates while here, with
that hospitality for which Hillsboro
has a widespread reputation.
We hope to see many of our farmer
friends from along the line and other
parts of the county, present at the
meeting. Let every man put his own
shoulder to the wheel, and not wait
for his neighbor to take the lead, for
all have an interest in the enterprise.
If we can secure the completion of
this road, and get a connection with
the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad at
IrontOn, every farmer in Highland
county will get 5 to 10 cents per bushel
more for his wheat and corn than he
does now. Come up, then, to the
meeting.

Their sweet song, with that-of the Red
bird and the cooling Of the Dove, tell US
that Spring will soon dawn. Then comes
the Peewit, Swallow and Martin. For the
latter every farmer should build house
to nest in, for he is so good to keep away
the Hawks.
The Field Sparrow is one Of our sweetest
.songsters. He sings from early Spring
until late fall, and from early dawn until
late twilight. Then come Robins, Cat.
birds, Orioles, and Thrushes. The Wood
Thrush, of all the sweet songsters, cer-
tainly is one of the sweetest. I well re-
member forty odd years ago, when hunt
ing the cows Of a clear morning, theIi
sweet notes, like the sound of German
flute, all over the forest. But alas like
the red men of the forest, they do not like
civilization, and have nearly all gone from
here. The WhippoorwiLl, too, has gone
westward, but in the early settling Of our
country, he was one of our favorites.
The last to come is the Nightingale. His
song is loud, and some Of it sweet, and
about fulI-mOOn he sings ali times of the
night. He always Raunts d dense thicket.
and if you come near his nest he will
come close to you and give you good
scoIding.
Thus, while all Nature, animate and in
animate, at this season Of the year is SO
joyous and pleasant, why cannot man be
happy toO7 FLORA.

REcovERING.-The many friends of Jno
Doggett, jr., whose supposed fatal illness
we noticed last week, will be glad to learn
that letters received from his father re-
port him much better, with a good chance
for his recovery. Though a stranger in
a strange land, he had received many kind
attentions and careful nursing from some
excellent ladies who learned his situa-
tion, and to the kindness of these "minis-
tering angels" he probably owes bis life.

Suicide oFN. .MDeIapIane, Jr.

Suicide of n. N Delaplane, Jr.
N. N. Delaplane, a,son of Judge n.
N. Delaplane, of Marshall Tp., this
county, committed suicide by shoot
ing himself with a pistol, in Natchez,
Miss, on the 14th inst. The ball en-
tered his heart, producing death al
most instantly. He seems to have
prepared himself beforehand for the
commission of the deed, with the ut
most coOlness and deliberatiOn. On
the morning of the fatal day he spent
several hours in writing letters to va
riOus persons, IN which he stated what
he was about to do, and gave the
most minute directions in regard to his
burial, the disposition of his effects &c.
These letters were found on his dress
ing table. One of them was addressed
to the Coroner, in which he said, "You
must find verdict of suicide, for such
is the case" Another is addressed to
his sister in this place, another to Mrs.
Edward, his landlady, another to
Mr.. Donaldson, another TO one Of the
Natchez papers, and another to young
lady of that city. We copy several of
these letters below.
The deceased was only about %
years Of age He was well educated,
of pleasing address, and might have
attained an honorable position among
his fellow, men, but for the fatal vice
of gambling, to which he was unfor-
tunately addicted. He had squandered
an Inheritance of several thousand dol
lars in this way in the last two or
three years, besides a considerable
amountsent him by his relatives from
time to time. His sad and untimely
fate should be solemn warning to all
young men against the aIlurements aud
excitements of the demoralizing habit
which led to his ruin.
The following letter was addressed to
one of the Natchez papers:
NATCHEz, Miss, April -, 1870.
Mr.. ED1ToR:-I write to request the
press of Natchez, through your columns,
to allow no writer to attribute my death to
any particular cause. The idea of suicide
did not originate in Natchez, nor even in
the sunny South, consequently no one
here can positively tell why 1 killed my
self. I doubt whether any individual in
the known world can even give shadow
of cause. In almost every suicide, Ii
quor, love, remorse, or disappointment of
some kind is the supposed or actual cause,
but in my case none of the above causes
prevail. have seen the world and am
weary of it, is about the truth.
Yours respectfully,
NORRIS DELAPLANE

business of the year is completed.
The new law extends the terms of all
Auditors now in Office until November OF

Job Lucas, the Macarthur barber, is

before the 18th Amendment went through.
And Job has. done another thing for
which the Democracy cannot forgive him.
He has announced that he will not shave
on the Sabbath day. Whereupon the
Macarthur Enquirer says:
A WHITE BARBER WANTED.
An industrious, sober, and honest
White Barber-in politics opposed to Mon
grelism-can find steady employment in

shop room, tools, furniture, and with all
things necessary to run first-class shop.
