THE DANaER-The Courier of the

THE only thing that astonishes us is
that she did not burst long ago, and
kill fifty or sixty persons of the crowd
that usually gathers at fires. Only
fifty pounds of steam could be raised
at the fire, on Sunday, in this engine
On the 18th. the Courier broke out
in this wise: These Black Repub-
lican scoundrels will insist that she
was in good order, Gin hopes that she
might explode and kill some Demo.

If No. B could not get up sufficient

applies to the examination by The

Miss OLIVE LoGAN-The Courier
Journal has the following with refer
ence to Miss Olive Logan's illness:
A very large and brilliant audience
had assembled at Weisiger Hall last
night, and hundreds were still pouring
ing in, when it was announced that
Miss Logan was quite i'll and could
not speak. The disappointment Of
the audience was very great indeed
but no one regretted more than Miss
Logan the failure on her part to make
her appearance. She insisted upon
making an effort to speak, until the
hour arrived at which she should
have reached the hall, when Dr.
Cummins positively forbade her to
speak. The agent went Immediately
after this to Weisiger Hall and stop
ped the sale of tickets, and as soon
thereafter as arrangements could be
made to refund the tickets and money
the announcement was made TO the
audience.
Miss Logan will positively deliver
her lecture before going elsewhere,
and she hopes to be able to do so to-
morrow night. Persons who hold
tickets or coupons, and still wish to
hear Miss Logan lecture, may retain
them until the time of The lecture is
positively announced, which will
probably be done to morrow morning
1t is hoped that Miss Olive will do
as well by Evansville as she promises
to do by Louisville.

PLEBIsCITUM.- The learned Ebne-
zer s ebbins has been severely puz-
zled at the frequent recurrence of this
word in the foreign dispatches, and
after studying a week or two gives it
up in the following lines, expressive
of his utter disgust of the whole mat
ter:
Those French was allus cur'os fish,
A trifie would excite EN-;
And as they halnt got all they wish
To tickle and delight 'em,
Napoleon feared they might revolt.
Ifpeace should re-unite 'em,
So to create a new tumuit
He got up p1ebtsciEatn.
The French not caring what 1t was,
SO It would ebulite 'em;
That was enough, whate'er the cause,
The fun would full requite 'em;
SO in they pitched and tackled it,
The Grand Jury or'to indite 'em,
For raising such a racket with
Their plaguey plebtscttunl.
OLIVE LoGAN.-By the Louisville
Courier Journal, of Friday morning,
we notice that Miss Logan had so far
recovered from her sickness. as
to be able, in tile opinion
of her physician, to lecture
that evening. On Wednesday night
there was large audience in waiting
at Weisiger Hall, when her illness
was announced. There was certain
to be larger audience last night,
than the first night. The Courier.
Journal says:
I'VE expect to see the largest and
most select audience that has assem-
bled in this city for many years, al
Weisiger Hall on Friday night"
Measures have been taken to induce
Miss Logan to fulfil her engagement
here as soon as she is able to do So
Further particulars will be given by

practicable.

striking than some of very recent
date.
After il became evident that ma
ny Of the Republicans of this town
ship were favorable to a Temper
ance ticket, it was determined by
D. G. and his understrapers to put
on their ticket every Republican
nominated by the Temperance men,
liut. strange to say, the Temper
ance nominated two Republicans
that D. e. did not altogether like,
and, consequently, the programme
was chained So as to leave them out
In the cold.

pE Judge PInkerton tells Us
of a descent he caused to be made
the forepsrt CT this week on the
Morgan County Treasurer's Office.
The law makes IT his duty, ex-offi-
clio, to ca1se an examination of the
condition of said Office to be made
ut certain intervals, and at times
when the Treasurer Is not advised
thereof; and, consequently, he sum
mousd ]. c. Stone to appear at his
Office, and Immediately armed him
with authority to take possession
of said Treasurer's Office Instanter.
MIR. Stone proceeded to do 30, and
quite startled Treasurer Yocum,
who was not expecting and did not
know that any such movement was
in contemplation. However q
cheerful submission was rendered
to the powers that be, and 10 Mr..
Yocum's credit be it said that the
investigation proved the Treasury
to be in good condition, with fifteen
thousand dollars in the safe.

WOMAN

Tho Columbus correspondent of
the Cleveland Herald writes that
leading Democrats IN Columbus and
IN tho Legislature are declaring
themselves IN favor of the policy
and necessity of giving TO woman
the ballot. They say that if Me-
groes, Chinese, Maiays, and Hot
tentots are to have the right Of 81 f-
frage. as is now decided by the ad-
option of the Fifteenth Amendment
to the National Constitution. it is
time for their own wives, mothers,
Sisters, and daughters to exercise II
ii defense of the country against
the mass of ignorance and degrada-
ton that is thus let in upon IT.
The intelligence and pnrlty of our
women will be the antItode against
this foreign poison. In this coun-
~ several prominent Democrats
are of this opinion, and the move
ment is extending rapidly over the
State. Democrats have fought for
the ballot for white men, and they
will now support the ballot for the
white ~woman.1[Norwal Expert

"Oid Marion" the pride of :he
Radicals of Morgan, that can give
a Radical majority of three hundred
and fifty, has declared herself eman-
c'pated from the CALLING slavery of
the chains of the corrupt Radical
Ring of Morgan, of which D. G.
Pinkerton is the head. She has
nominated a Temperance ticket,
made up of members of both the
political parties, and, that too. right
in the face of P;nkerton's call to
the voters of Morgan township, in
which he declared his hostility to
the peoples stepping outside party
lines and acting Independently in
local matters. W. say, Bully for

OBITUARY..

DIED, at her home in McConnelsville,
Ohio, on Monday night at 10 o'clock,
March 2Sth, 1870, Mrs. MARY A,
wife of Judge F. w. Wood, in the
forty-second year of her age.
Stricken hearts linger over the sweet
memories of the past; and, wher one
so much beloved al Mrs Wood passes
away, silence to the home circle may
best bespeak her praise. She was a
woman of rare intellect, character and
attainments, shedding a happy infu-
ence in every circle, and especially
over the dearest place on earth
Home, Sweet HomeI"
She was the daughter of the late
DR.. P. B. Johnson, and for the many
years of his afaicticn gave him such
tender care as to elicit praise from all.
The great anxiety of her heart was
relieved when God took him from the
sorrows of earth to the Spirit land.
She vas always kind to the poor.
and a liberal supporter of every good
work. During the Rebellion, her
brother, LIST Lieut.. P. B. johnson, fell
at the storming of Fort Wagner, and
during all those dark and perilous
days, she, with a band of Americas
noblest women, was a constant worker,
giving and gathering stores for the
Sanitary Commission, and forwarding
them to the noble men battling for
the Natiou's life.
Her suffering for many months was
such as few are called to meet, but
was endured with great patience and
resignation. She gave to her friends
good assurance of her acceptance with
the Redeemer, and He has called her,
as we trust, to the mansions prepared
for those who put their trust in Him.
Calmly, meekly, so sweetly she ia
ded away, not as the flower fadeth, bat
to bloom again in immortal beauty.
1t was permitted, in Gods good provi-
dence, that, during the last weeks of
her sickness, her devoted husband,
children, sister, brothers, aud other
dear friends from abroad, were con-
stantly with her, ministering to her
wants. As they disperse to their
homes and the cares of life, her mem
DRY will be precious. May they be
guided safely into the harbor of HeaT-

The Marshal procured the servic-

Little and Dorr, the latter

quainte with Early, went to where
he was working and requesting him
to go with them. He replied that
he would in a moment. Quick as
thought he threw down his axe
and ran, followed by two shots
from Little's revolver +; at the first
fire he shrugged one Of his should
ere, but recovered, jumped a fence
and disappeared. Dutton and
Kirkbride also fired one shot each.
In about three-quarters of an
hour Little saw James Early, a
brother, leave Toms house carry
ing something. He watched and
saw them meet III the woods, when
Jim handed Tom his coat which he
put on. Little approached to with
IN thirty feet before they saw him
when Tom ran, followed by anoth-

failed to check him.
