Our SToRY.-As We promised last week, we
this week commence the publication of an inter-
esting story. 1t is old, and the name is familiar
to most readers; but large majority of them
have never read it. To our mind, it is the best
Indian story ever written. 1t Itrepresents the wild
Indians in their true nature and character. You
will find there none of the sentimentality and
noblencss manufactured for the Indians by Coop
ER and EMERSON BENNETT. or to be found in the
more recent slop of "NED BuNrLINE." Those who
have never read it, will read it now; and those
who have read it, will read it again; and all will
anxiously look for the next nstalment, until it is
completed. 1t viii continue some twelve or ff-
teen weeks.

SAD AcCIDENT-A Boy FALLS INTO WELL
AND is kIILED-On Tuesday very distressing
accident occurred at Troy, Kansas. Frank Gossin,
aged fourteen years, nephew of Rev. +. f. Shell
don, lost his hat in a well near which be happen
ed to be playing. He went up. and was looking
over; the piece to which he was holding suddenly
gave away, and he was preciptated to the bottom,
distance of fifty five feet. The alarm was in
stantly given by some one who had observed the
accident, and several neighbors hastened to the
spot. One Of them, Mr.. C. J. Jones. volunteered
tn go down into the WELL and started several per-
sons letting him down by means of the windlass.
When he had reached about half the distance the
rope broke, and he was also precipitated to the
bottom.
Finally some persons ventured into the WELL
and succeeded in reseuing Mr.. Jones, and recover
ing the body of young Gossin. The former sus-
tanned but LITTLE injury. The latter had his neck
both arms and both legs broken, having been in
stantly killesl by the fall.
The boy was q most excellent youth, and his
tragic fate has thrown gloom over the family
circle of Rev. Mr.. Sheldon, as well as large cir
Gle of quaintances.-Sf. Joseph Gazette.

There was great cry, in the Spring, for low
assessments; and probably a majority Of the
Township Trustees were elected upon the prom
ie of putting the valuation down to the lowest pos
sib'e figures. From the looks of the above table,
it would seem that they have ovcrdone it. The
Atch s,n and Nebraska Railroad, valued at $780,
OO has been added since last year assessment, and
yet the total valuation of the County is some $780,
00O less than last year. Every other County shows
tremendous gains in taxableproperty. We know
that our County has improved greatly within the
past year, and yet she shows decrease valuation
lin fact, is the only County in the State that has
apparently gone backward This is all owing to
the mania for low assessments. What is to be
gained by it, we cannot see. We may save a lit
tie on State tax, but that is comparatively light,
this year, under any reasonable valuation. We
have just 50 much money to raise for County and
local purposes, and the rate will be increased in
proportion as the valuation is decreased, NJ that
there will be nothing saved there. And it is very
likely that the State Board of Equalization will
raise on us, after all. We have objection to
light taxes; but we do not like to our County
represented on the down hill grade, when there
is nothing to be gained by il.

RUNS OF AN ANCIENT TEMPLE IN INDIANA.-
correspondent furnishesthe following: "Two
miles from Leavenworth, Crawford County, on
the road lealngto the Wyandotte cave, there is an
immense pile Of large parallelogram, sandstone
covering about half an acre ofground. Mr.. Hill, who
is building the bridge at Blne river, is firmly of
the opinion that these remarkable stones-he
having used them in the piers-have been quar-
ried, dressed and transported here by ancient
race, who once inhabited Crawford County. In
addition to their having square sides and being
of great Uniformity in width, there is none Of the
same kind Of stone found elsewhere in all the C0un-
~, except two smaller piles near the large one.
The largest stones are thirteen feet long and
about four feet wide. Who will explain what
ancient race erected this great temple now buried
in the hills Of Blue riveri or who will demon
strate that it has not been the groundwork ofartr
STEALING FRUIT-we are confident that no
more fruit will he stolen after the boys have read
the following quotation from the State law on the
subject:
As the season of peaches, watermelons, grapes
and other fruits In coming, to keep the big boys
and little boys ont Of trouble, will inform them
that there is recent law that says if any person
shall enter the enclosure of any person and pick,
destroy or carry away, any apples, pears, peaches

larceny, and shall be punished by imprisonment
for one year, or by fine of one hundred dollars.

Pittsburgh Stock Market.

CATrLE.-The receipts OF Cattle were again
liberal this week, footing up lS2 cars against
l76 cars last week, and with diminished de-
mand the market was an exceedingly hard one
and prices have still further declined. An un-
usually large proportion of the stock on sale
this week was shipped on east, in first hands,
holders being unwilling to sell at the prices,
and besides there Were not buyers enough to
take all the stock even If these holders had
been unwilling TO make concessions. How
ever, all things considered, there was q fair
number sold, though, as viii be noted, prices
ruled low, G56 being the highest figure reported
There were some few lots of cattle that would
have brought cts, perhaps a fraction more,
but they were held at 71l(9S cents.
SHEEP.-The receipts were light this week, 55
cars against SO last week. Several punches of
prime to extra, brought 51zG61z, and one small
bunch averaging l33 bs sold at 81 The bulk
of the sales however were within the range 3@
4ls cts, the great proportion of the offerings
being of the common and medium grades-
The market was dull as there were but very few
buyers. though usually there is very little busi-
ness on saturdays.
HoGs.-The receipts of hogs we're also COM
paratively light this week, I25 cars against liz
last week, and with an average shipping de-
mand and some inquiry from packers, the mar
ket has ruled steady all week. Quotations
may be fairly given at 81z6D7 cts; Workers sold
at So 25@8 go, and Philadelphia hogs at So 70aS.

ONE of the common mistakes OF bush
ness men is a neglect to patronize each
other. Two men in the same town are
engaged in merchandise of different
kinds. One is grocer, the other dry
goods merchant and might without any
material cost aid each other by an X
change of groceries for clothing. But,
is it done? We know men, and not "a
few of them, who under the pretense OF
buying their groceries at wholesale
rates, bestow their patronage upon
neighboring TOWNS, whose merchants
taking advantage of the unskilled pur-
chaser, give them second rate goods at
wholesale prices. The grocer in turn
refuses to patronize the clothing stores,
and thus they mutually suffer. Build
up home enterprises by giving them
your custom and do not send your ready
cash to foreign towns and cities and
ask the merchant, artisan or printer of
your own or neighboring village to trust
YOU for paltry sums, tie price of neces
sary goods or labor. If you want good
market for produce, exchange with the
nearest merchant onterms that will en-
:able him to live and build up a trade
Buy your goods at home and keep your
money at home and you will not be
always complaining of hard times. This
truth applies no less to newspapers than
to other departments OF indus ry. The
man who pleads too poor to take and
pay for his home paper, and yet, sends
his money away for a city journal that
contains a little more reading matter,
knows but little of political economy
A citizen of Ohio would as lief live in
San Domingo as in d Gnty without a
newspaper, yet we are sorry to say that
we have citizens who do not think it
necessary to support one. Give your
home paper your money and enable its
publishers to give you in return the
w5rM of your money, Wonld any one
expect his church to flourish ifne would
pay his money for religious weeklies and
ask his minister to work for nothing
In conclusion we say, If you wish to
thrive in business do not set your GUS

We, the undersigned jurors, empanel-
ed and sworn on the 7th day of January
in the year 1871, at the township of Pult-
ney, in the County of Belmont, by Geo.
Criswell, Justice of the Peace, in and

person whose body was found at or near
the saloon of Ann Reed, in the city Of
in the township of Pultney,
and County of Belmont, on the 7th day
Of January, 1871, came to his death. AT
ter having heard the evidence and ex-
amined the body, we do find that the
deceased came to his death from the
effects of liquor obtained from Ann
Reeds saloon, causing intoxicat!on and
exposure by lying out of doors near
said saloon. Given under our hands at
the time and place of said inquisition
above mentioned.
