HURON COUNTY

Last Monday evening Jacob Sny-
der, a German, residing in the north
part of the village, was killed on the
railroad track, at the Foster street
crossing. As near as the facts can be
ascertained, Snyder was going home
in an intoxicated condition. There
was freight train standing across the
street ut the point above named,
and instead of waiting for it to move
off, Snyder crawled under, and when
he got fairly on the track the train
started, and he was caught under the
wheels. His body was literally cut in
two just above the abdomen, and his
left arm, from the shoulder down to
the wrist was badly crushed and
mangled, atwhich latter point the arm
was almost completely severed. .........
AS some doubts have been expressed
regarding a statement we made two
or three weeks ago, to the effect that
from one peck of seed, o. Burras, of
North Fairfield, raised over 80 bushels
of Early Rose potatoes last season, he
authorizes us to state that he holds
himself in readiness to put up from
81 600 to $1,000 against the same
amount, that he can raise ttOO hun
dred bushels from one peck of seed.

Fremont the present year will be the
largest ever known. At the mill of /.
E. Amsden enough logs are already
on hand to cut !, 900, 900 feet of lumber
besides the shingles and lath. In adj
dition, We understand that he has con-
tracted for 10000 feet from one mill
at Oak Harbor. The mill yards of
West & Dana in this city and on
Greencreek are crowded with logs and
still they come in, hundreds per day.
We suppose at a rough estimate that
the two mills of the last named firm
viii cut at least 10000 feet, besides
the immense amount they purchase
of country mills. There cannot be
very hard times when such lumber

HIS LAST HOURs.

/ may not longer detain you, my
friends, from the sad ceremonies which
remain to be performed by US; yet /
can not quite release you until have
alluded, in the simplest and hriefest
manner, to an incident Of the last
days, and almost the last hours, of his
noble life, which has come to us from
q source which can not be questioned.
While he was lying, seemingly un-
conscious, Oh his death-bed in Lon
don, at the house OF his kind friend,
Sir Curtis LampsOn, and when all di-
rect communication with him had
been for time suspended, il was
mentioned aloud in his presence, in a
manner and with a purpose TO test his
consciousness, that a highly valued
acquaintance had called to see him
but he took 10 notice Of the remark.
Not long afterward it was stated IN a
tone loud enough forhim to hear, that
the Queen herself had sent a special
telegram OF inquiry and sympathy;
but even that failed 10 arouse him.
Once Eoro, at no lOnginterval, it was
remarked that . faithful minister of
the Gospel, with whom he had once
made q voyage TO America, was at the
door; and his attention was instantly
attracted. That "good man." as he
called him with his latest breath, was
received by him and prayed with him,
more than once. at is n great mys-
terry" he freely observed, "but shall
know all soon" while his repeated
Amens gave audible and abundant
evidence that those prayers were not
lost upon his ear or upon his heart
The highest hOnOrs of the wOrld-the
kind attention of a sovereign whom he
knew how to respect, admire and love
could no longer satisfy him. The
ambassador of Christ was the only vis-
itOr for that hour.
Thus, we may humbly hope, was at
last explained and fulfilled for him,
that mysterious saying of one of the
ancient prophets of Israel, which he
had heard many years before, as the
text of a sermon by one whom he
knew and valued; which had long
fingered in his memory; and which,
by some force of association or reflect
ion, had again and again been recalled
to his mind, and more than once, in
my own hearing, been made the sub
ject of his remark: "And it shall
come to pass in that day, that the light
shall not be clear nor dark hut it
shall be one day which shall be known
to the Lord, not day, nor night; but
it shall come to pass, that at evening
time it shall be light.n

An Indiana correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette opposes the enact
ment of the ten per cent. interest law
and says:
az see from reported proceedings of
the Ohio State Legislature, that there
is a possibility of enacting law which.
shall give free trade to money. As
the influence of such legislation will
not be confined to Ohio, permit me to
lprotest againstyit in. behalf Of OHrcOm-
mon country If once adopted, then
Indiana will probably try it at the
very next Legislature, and one COM
mon ruin will overtake us all.
In the first place, it will legalize
usury, which is so plainly denounced
in the Bible. / admit that there is no
money now lent at six or eight or
even ten per cent, but the ShylOcks
who demand and receive more do it
in the face of the law.
He further says that the lenders of
money are not confined to the rich
but that at least twO-thirds of the
money lent, belongs to heirs, or wild
ows, or old men retired from business,
or to young labOring men, or mechan-
les, or girls, who have. not enough to
/ go into business, and lay aside their
surplus earnings until enough is accu-
mulated for business purposes. The
present system requires these to put
their small amounts into the banks or
into the brokers hands at six per cent.
BY this means they lend to respOnsi-
BILE men who seldom break up. These
buy notes, or in one way or another
make from u to 20 per cent. on the
money entrusted TO, them.
; He theh narrows Il down to the fol-
lowing:
''Thus the sin of usury is narrowed
down to the bankers and brokers. and
the few wealthy Rlen who can afford
to run the riskO of the penalties, human
and divine, which attach to this great
sln.n 20 ..-l3. .I.I..s.5 -tt,r..s
Rather peculiar argument. He is
perfectly willing that bankers should
tiipeurall the evils consequent upon usu-
-riotfs dealings beeadse-it is their
business. This reminds us of pious
young lady's remark while tellingher
experience in class-meeting. She
had formerly worn jewelry, "but
found it dragging her soul down to
hell, so she gave it TO her sis
ter" This correspondent is per-
ffeetE lvilliaga that the bankers
ls4soaId1s to fefsiitioh, but. he wants
old men, servants, etc. saved.
