The Body Of w. N. Burke Found
The Funeral.

On last Friday, news was received at
this place that the body of Walter N.
Burke had been found at Buena Vista,
some eighteen miles below Portsmo uth
Mr., Pickrel and Mr.. Sutherland went to
Portsmouth, where the body was sent.
There is no mistake as to the identity
Ofthe body. Papers were found in the
pockets of the clothing which renders
the matter certain. About three dollars
in money were in his pockets. The
body was in remarkable state of pres
ervation, when il is remembered that
it had been in the water nearly FIVE
months.
There are numerous stories about
marks Of violence but we learn that
the skull was pot broken, as reported.
The nose appeared to have been broken,
and there was a swelling near one eye,
but this may have been caused while in
the river.
The body was brought to this place
on the noon train on Saturday, and
was buried 10 the NeR Cemetery at two
o'clock on Sunday. Rev. L, A. Atkin-
son conducted the funeral services. A
very large concourse Of people attend.
cd the funeral.
Shufflin, who was recently indicted
in Scioto county, for murder In the frs
degree, for killing Burke, had just been
bailed out, BY his brother, in the sum
Of $4,000. He had gone to Columbus
with his brother. Court being in ses-
sion In Portsmouth, as soon az the body
OfBurke was found Judge LOOmiS made
an order for the re-arreSt OF Shufilin,
and dispatch was sent TO the Chief OF
Police ct Columbus, and Shufliu was
ct once arrested, and the Sheriff Of Sci.
oto county started after him, and he
Was brought to Portsmouth aud lodged
in Jail.

"HoRRIBLY DIsGusTlNG.-It is almost
too disgusting to mention, but in order
to show what some human stomachs are
capable of, we will state as fact that a
man living near this city entered a GER
tain grocery in town few days since,
aud, on a wager, took live rat, bit its
head of, and eat it-raw-with the ex.
ception OF the feet, and a small piece Of
tho tail.
Doubt it who may, the fact is
vouched for TO us by several eye-wit-
nesses. CAilicothe Register.
There is nothing strange in that.
We suppose there arc very few persons
on the Bottom who have been drinking
Emmitrs whisky for years, whose stom-
aChs could not digest raw rat, feet, tai
aud all.

Great Mass Meeting Of the DemOc.

racy.
A loud call was published for Mass
Meeting of the Democracy on Saturday
last, to appoint delegates to the State
convention, which is to be held in CO.
iumbus this week. The Court House
bell was rung Twice, long and loud,
Some time after tho second bell We
wenE to the Court House, and found
just four Democrats in Mass Meeting
convened. There were Irvine DUNCAN,
known when be was radical as James
Irvine DUNCAN, ], II. Booth, Mayor
Connolly and VIM. Price. After wait.
ing time, Irvine, or James l., as the
case may be, told Mayor Connolly to 60
down to Billy Ryan's grocery aud tell
the Democrats to come up. We sug.
gsstsd that perhaps that was not tho
most safe place IN the world to send the
Mayor. james /. then told the Mayor
not TO remain at the grocery. But be
did remain for half hour, and then rc-
turned with nary Democrat.
We staid nearly an hour, aud at no
time were there more than nine persons
present. We learned afterwards that
this Mass Convention actually did ap.
point delegates to Columbus.

The Chillicothe Register has an article
of some length, claiming that all is love-
ly on the Bottom, and closing thus:
"Altogether, the morals "over on the Bottom"
seem to be improving-a fact OF which our tra-
ducers abroad will please make note"
In the same number of the Res ..tcr is
an article Of over half column, giving
an account ofa fight which occurred on
tho previous Sabbath. A number of
persons were coDgregated near the
Mountain House, when the fun Uom.
menced. One man seized another by
the hair and jerked him to the ground
and kicked him in the side of the head,
when the blood gusbed in quantity out
of his ear. But we must quote little
from the Register:
"Finally, however, tho latter, who is much the
largest man, got In blow on top Of Driscoll's
head, over his guard, when tho latter, finding
that forbearance had ceased to be a virtue, went
in on his muscle. Making q spring at his antag
onist, he seized him by the hair with his left
hand, and, with jerk that snapped him of his
feet as II he had been brittle reed, brought Rig
ney to the ground, at the same time planting
kick ON the side of his head, which caused the
blood to flow in quantity from his car. Follow
ing up his attack, DriscOll let into him heavy
tooth and toe-nail. AS Mr.. Rigney wanted
fight SO badly, and as Mr.. Driscoll appeared so
well able to take care of himself the bystanders
gave the pair fair field and no favors. Finally,
Rigney appeared so nearly used up that 1t was
thought best TO separate them, especially as they
had fought themselves down to point where
Driscoll was chewing up Rigney's ear and Rig
ney was making lunch Off OF DrlscolPs thumb.
When separated, the former was found to be one
of the worst used up men that has been seen for
some time-eyes gonged, ears chewed, taco bung-
ed, with a liberal display of blood and all the
other necessary condiments. Driscoll had no in
jury Of consequence other than that to his
thumb"
Then the used up man crawled to his
feet and pulled his eyes open with his
fingers so he could see how to get to
a tree, where he lay down, and there
the highly amused Bottomites left him,
to live or die, as might be.
This is the highly moral character of
a people where the liquor law is not en-
forced.

formation of conglomerate that is bold
and romantic enough for the veriest
hermit. The rocks for long distance
tower up to an immense height, and at
one point a giant shelf or overhanging
ledge is formed, from the centre Of
which pours a bright and pure stream
of water into the valley beneath. This
shelf is almost a circlei it retreats per-
haps fifty feet, and would furnish shell
ter to great number of people. In va
rious places holes or caves may be seen
that almost too wildly suggest the
haunts of snakes and "sich." The on
ly use this grand formation of nature is
now put to is a retreat for cattle during
winter weather. With this formation
in Cincinnati, fitted up as beer garden,
a sure fortune would be guaranteed to
its owner. AS we ride along, the mass
es of conglomerate tower higher and
higher, until at last, as the sun begins
to decline, we see before us a monu-
ment of rock over fifty feet in height,
and in size as large as one Of the large
stores on Fourth street.
At the base ofthese rocks large guam
titles of bright pebbles are found, SINH
lar in color and size to those found on
the sea shore, and in almost as great
variety. When and where these peb-
bles came from is a conundrum for a
warm evening.
OAKLAND FARM,
Once the residence of the late Prof
Mather, is located about three miles
from Jackson, on a high eminence,
which commands fine view of the sur
rounding country for several miles
The house is still standing in just the
shape as built by him many years ago.
1t was selected by him on account of
its wild beauty and retirement, and
was intended as a retreat for study
and reflection. His fine library and
perhaps the finest private cabinet. in
the West, were located here, and some
Of his most able essays were prepared
on the broad porch which extends
along the whole front side of the house.
Here at this quiet but great mans
home it was my good fortune to spend
several pleasant months, about fifteen
years ago. The place has greatly
changed since then. and many of the
noble trees that made the place wild
and beautiful have long since disap-
peared to make way for the wheat and
corn fields.
The chestnut grove that furnished
such grand shady drive has all dis
appeared, and a fourishing garden ap-
pears in its place.
The property is now owned by w.
W. Pierce, who is our entertainer for
the night, and whom you may thank
for this worse than hastily written let
ter. A book rather than letter should
be written, in order to describe his
wild and grand old country.

The war of Races Flends at
Work.


On Friday of last week, the colored
people celebrated the ratification OF the
Amendment giving them the right of
suffrage, and on Monday last some fiend
or fiends thinking it great opportunity
to work up an electioneering scheme,
and operate upon the prejudioes of ILL
disposed citizens, started the report that
colored children would attend white
school. This report of course was soon
circulated among the boys attending the
school, and the result was the stoning of
some innocent cOlored children on their
way from or to the oolored school. To
show THAT the whole affairwas the scheme
of some unprincipled villains, it is but
necessary to state, that not teacher in
the school, nor one of the members of
the Board of Education had ever issued
such an order, or made such request
And added to this the fact, that several
men, whose political sentiments are we'll
known, had gathered on the corner, and
whenever colored child would come
along would say, ,"go for them, boys"
and then add to this the fact that the
school law itself provides that they shall
be taught in separate schools, and the
people Of Berkely will at once see tha
it was an outrageous piece of villainy,
put up by some outside parties to man
ufacture capital for political purposes
The we'll disposed and thinking men Of
the community will give to those who
seek by such methods of untruth and viii
lainy to create excitement and turmoil,
that scorn and contempt which they so
well merit. -Berkeley Union.

"The correct way to spell license is with one c,
but the editor Of the jackson Standard finds uso
for two.
Standard omits comma in all sentences like
the following: "Rebels, traitors, copperheads,
butternuts &c" Why not place comma after
the word butternuts? As Mr.. Mackley has taught
school and filled the Office OF School Examiner
and has criticized the punctuation of teachers,
scholars, the ignorant Democrats who have writ
ten for his journal ofinstTuction, lawyers school
examiners, and ignorant fellows generally, VIC
should be pleased to read his reasons for spelling
and punctuating as above estated.-McArthur En-
quirer
Very we'll. As TO punctuation. The
&c. in the above sentence stands for the
devil, and he is too nearly connected
with the preceding named fellows to
have his connection severed by COM
ma.
We do not know what the editor Of
the Enquirer means about spelling Ii
cense with more than one .. If we ev-
er did SO, it was printers mistake, and
not ours.
We took the pains TO glance over the
same number of the Enquirer in which
the above appeared, and We now, in
our turn, want to ask few questions.
What does the following meant
1.-THE newspaper is the emphatically the poor
mans lyceum, his library; and his best instruct
or.-Subscribe for the Democratic Enquirer, print
cd at Macarthur.
"The emphatically the poor mans
lyceum." That is rich.
Here is something else: &:
."wlth Grant at watering places, or dead head
ing ON railroads; army officers of on drunks
members OF cabinet In business speculations,
members OF Congress drunk In their rooms, or
in the baginos OF ofWashington; &c"
What in this world are "the baginos
of Washington"
We always spell the word last with
one But the editor of the Enquirer
finds use for two, as witness the follow
ing:
ave were pleased to receive call from Col.
J. L. Vance, OF Gallpolis on Saturday morning
lsst, who visited this town on business connect
ed with the Gallipolis Macarthur d Columbus
Railroad"
We always find use for the letter in
the word sum- but the editor of Enquir-
er dispenses with it, as witness the fol.
lowing:
"The house has passed tho bill requiring tho
payment of pensions quarterly by mall, meas
uro demanded by every consideration of justice.
There should be no pairing away OF the small
sums that go &C."
The editor of the Enquirer will find
it no difficult matter to find errors in
newspapers, even in bis own.
