The Home OF washington.

For nearly a quarter of a century past,
Benson j. Losing, the artist author OF
Field Book or the Revolution, " History
of the United States" etc, has been one of
the most diligent and successful laborers
in the rich field of American history. Du'
ring that time he has travelled more than
thirty thousand miles, extending to almost
every portion of the Union, in order to
procure sketches of various scenes and OBJ
jects of historic interest for it IS his good
fortune to be equally happy to the use Of
both pen and pencil.
Attractive and popular though all his
works have been, Mr.. Lossing's latest
volume is justly considered the browning
success of his life. Its title is as follows
"THE HOME OF WASHINGTON or, Mount
Vernon and It's Associations, Historical,
Biographical and Pictorial" 1t is a sub
~scription book, being sold through agents
entirely. A copy now lies upon u table
from that enterprising firm, E. Hannaford
& Co, III West Fourth St., Cincinnati.
No more beautiful book has ~gladdened
our eyes for many months, than this shape
" quarto, printed on superfne and ele-
gantly tinted paper, and gotten up in the
highest style of the topographic art. A
steel plate portrait, from the celebrated
painting of Gilbert Stuart, and an engrav-
ing of Mount Vernon, also on steel, en-
bellish the front of the book, while the
text of the work is illustrated with no less
than one hundred and forty-eight of
Lossing's charming pictures, fac Smiles of
interesting MSS, etc. The binding is
both elegant and substantial.
"The Home of Washington" is undoubt-
edly the most complete, satisfactory and
delightful record ever prepared of the do
nestle and private life of "The Father of
his Country" Every American is, of
course, familiar with the General, the
Statesman, and the President, but this
work reveals to US the man, in all the dig
nifty and beauty of his personal character.
1t also furnishes q great amount of fresh
and interesting matter, not a%ttainable
from any other source, and is the only
work extant describing fully the condition,
past and present, of Mount Vernon.
Many of the illustrations describe articles
of which the originals are now lost to the
world forever-swept ruthlessly away by
the storms of civil war.
The publishers announce a large and
rapidly increasing circulation Of this de-
lightful volume. We are not surprised at
this. Its national character, the reputa-
ton of its a~rtist-author, and its low price,
together with unexcelled beauty of IT'S
mechanical execution and its perfect wealth
of illustrations, are ali calculated to make
it one of the most popular and rapidly
selling books, of the age. We commend
this household treasure to the attention
of our readers, whether book agents or
book buyers. E. Hannaford & Co, the
Cincinnati publishers, are 4 firm who pub
fishers, are a firm who publish only first
class works, and equip their agents in the
very best style.

musband,s Rerenge,

For some time past a married man nam
ed Venduth D. Washburn, who resides IN
the usually quiet township of Boston, has
suspected his wife of being on too lntl-
mate terms with an unmarried man nam
ed Chas. PEBBLES. The suspicious had, to
the husband, become So strong that on
meeting the destroyer of his happiness q
short time since he plainly told him that
if he ever caught him near his house he
should kill him. On Saturday last some
person told Washburn that PEBBLES was
at his house. He at once armed himself
with a revolver and started for home. On
arriving there PEBBLES, who was in the
house. attempted to escape, but Washburn
shot him. Aiming at his heart the ball
missed its aim and passed through the
body, inaicting no mortal wound. As he
ran another shot was fired which caused
him to fall to the ground. Washburn
then ran to him and coolly shot him
through the head, thus putting an end to
his pain and his life. The avenging hus-
band then gave himself up to the officers
of the law and was brought to this city
and lodged in Jail.
The prisoner was ~arraigned before his
honor VIM. Mcneil, who, after q careful
examination bound him over for trial,
Our reporter called upon him at the Jail
on Tuesday morning, but he appears very
reticent and unwilling to communicate
any of the facts in the case unless they
should be placed before the world in a
manner calculated to give him some kind
of glory and also money. He is very self
conoeited and appears to glory in the deed
which has sent an unprepared mortal into
the unknown world. He is % years of
age, good looking, and yet evidently a
man quickly excited and n apt to act
hastily and without forethought.
Both of the men were hard working,
laboring men, doing farm and other work
as they could obtain employment. There
is much excitement in Boston concerning
the affair; as a matter of course there be-
ing those who side with the different par
ties.-AkrOn Times.

OBERLY's have a labor saving machine

PATENT that does up die business IN short

making a twelve gallon vessel full on
Wednesday of last week, a very hot day,
and in eight minu es the cream was thor
oughly made, smooth and well frozen-we
speak experimentally. The old fashioned
wav was very laborious, and did not
make it so well. Oberly's popular corner
is so convenient of access, and their rooms
so elegant and attractive, that the rush
for their choice Ice Cream is great during
these excessive hot days. There Is moth

RATS are a great pest, and were very
thick about Roland's mill, at the east end
of town. A half dozen of men interested
in cleaning out the long tailed animals
from the mill, house and barn, divided off
into two squads, agreeing to furnish a keg
of beer and have a time at the expense of
the party killing the smaller number OF
rats, in thirty days, commencing on May
18th. At the end Of the time one squad
had killed 42O rats and the other go, ma
king a total of $50 rats. BY that time
not a single rat was left in the neighbor-
hood. The nuisance was removed for
