The Rochester Sentinel Print
ing Company.

We notice in the last Rochester
Sentinel, nasty dirty fling at our
self. The Sentinel is published by a
Company residing in Plymouth,
consisting of Ed. vanValkenbnrgh &
Plat Mcdonald and Co.; the Co, is
dirty, filthy, Shiny creature, and
the tool Of VanValkenburgh & Nc
Donald, who forswore his principles
that he might enjoy their favors
and receive their patronage. We
will first notice this Shiny, filthy
creature, whom we have heard speak
lightly of his own wife, and heard
him frequently regret that he had
ever married. lie is man God
forgive US for calling him a man.
The Sentinel Company, has lie
ceived favors ut our hands, but We
have never had any return. AS to
Rum drinking we will venture our
head that we can find, at least, one
member of the Sentinel Company
that will take drink about with US.
if not two to our one. We are
willing to have detective placed
upon our track and theirs. and the
one that drinks most often, pays
the years bill for liquor, what say
you Sentinel Company! If you
wish and desire to seek personal
quarrel with us, we shall crafty
you, though We dislike it as much
as any man can. Mr.. Metcalf ought
to be the last man in the world to
to talk about dirt, we hive seen n
jour leave q stand when he came
to work by him on account of the
obnoxious smell his filthy carcass
emitted. If he wishes to continue
this quarrel, Ne are ready. We
have family record of his, to pub
FISH, upon his next attack.
Why should the Sentinel Com
pany: Mr.. Ed. VanValkingburg
and Platt Mcdonald attack our per
sonal character, we arc OF loss to
know. We have never been
an editor Of the REPUBLICAN, and
the Sentinel Company, show their
true character and disposition, by
attacking the character OF man
who never did them harm, but has
granted them favors.
Mr.. Platt Mcdonald while work
ing bis paper on our press carried a
bottle of whisky into our office,
which we Immediately carried out
and deposited with Mr. Bender, yet
the Sentinel Company talks about
rum drinking.

A Strange Pair-The Spotted Bsy

tween the boy and the snake in respect
of color, each bearing the same flesh

Great as have been the victories and
the successes of the Germans on the field
of battle, they are not the only triumphs
achieved by their Government in late
years. Although their country IL natur-
ally not as rich as France, England, or
the United States, il Is financially much
better off; and this is the case. not be-
canse The last-named countries have more
expenses, or, rather, ought to have if
they were managed rightly, but because
the administration OF North Germany Is
a model OF economy. Although Prussia.
the main power of the Confederation, has
always maintained an enormous military
force, proportionally much too large for
It's population and resources, although Ii
has of late made extraordinary efforts to
increase it's naval establishments, and has
waged several gigantic wars in the past
few years. its debt remains to-day one of
the smallest of any State, large or small,
of Europe And this is not on account
OF heavy taxes that crush the people, and
paralyze all industry. The taxes in
Prussia are much lower than in our coun-
try, or in England or France But the
Prussiau rules have, ever since Frederick
William l., the father of the great Fred
erick, been characterized by an extraor-
binary spirit Of economy, aad most rigid

A Little Child Torn to Pieces

On Tuesday afternoon, says the Lincoln
(Nebraska) Journal, as Mr.. Hiram
Brown, who lives twelve miles west OF
town, on Middle Creek, was leaving his
house for the pdrpose of narrowing some
ground that he had been blowing. his lit
tie child, bright eyed boy of 10 years of
age, came running out and wanted to go
also, which he was allowed 10 do. Every
thing passed off all right until about
o'clock, when Mr.. Browns horses took
fright and ran away, with the harrow al
tached. The little boy, who was playing
at some distance from where they started,
saw them coming toward him and tried
TO get out of the way, but the horses ran
over him. knocking him down and drag
ing the heavy harrow across his body.
He caught on some of the teeth and was
dragged uUder it for a short distance.
When picked up, he was found in hor
ribly mutila,ed condition. Que OF the
iron teeth had pierced his stomach just
below the navel, and tore upward almost
to the chin. Another Of the iron spikes
caught in his mouth, tearing it drcadfully
and splitting the tongue open; others
caught in different places. AT last &C
counts the child still breaihed, but it is
not possible for it to recover.

l'rOnltsSOry Notes.

People should always exercise great
care in giving promissory notes.
When man takes note and parts
with it, he does not know into whose
hands it may fall, and blunderingly
draws up what loss he may be COM
PEELED to sustain. Probably the very
man to whom he gives the note may
take advantage of him by filling up
a blank SO as to make it read hum
dred or a thousand. Let the maker
of the note understand that by a late
decision of the Supreme Court he
can be held liable for such alteration
long after the note has passed from
him. The case which called forth
this decision was one wherein an
ordinary promissory note was filled
up for the payment of one hundred
dollars, the note having been subse-
guently altered by the payee by the
addition of the words "and fifty"
The note thus altered passed from
the payee to an innocent third party,
who, at maturity, presented it for
payment, which was refused. The
drawer very properly said he had
given note for only one hundred
dollars, and would certainly not pay
for one hundred and fifty. a suit
followed. We are not concerned
with the fate of the man who insert
ed the words, "and fifty" and there
fore let him pass. What of the note :?
The Supreme Court decided that the
drawee was liable through negli-
gence; he had not drawn line
between the written word hundred
and its printed word dollars
Any testimony drawer might offer
to establish that he gave note for
only one hundred dollars must go
for nothing, as "there was nothing
on the face Of the note showing that
it had been altered" Evidence of an
alteration on the face Of the note
would have changed the case. We
may furthermore add that the Chief
Justice added that such a ruling was
deemed necessary to facilitate the
circulation of commercial paper. Let
this decision be lesson to all draw
ers of promissory notes. Chicago
Journal.
This decision meets with severe
and apparently well-merited con-
domination from numerous papers,
which pronounce it a direct attempt
TO legalize and enforce fraud.
