4 Remarkable Case.

The New Lisbon Journal says: There
is IA family living in the east end of st.
Clair township, this county, near the
State line, whose name has escaped our
recollection, well known in the COM
munity as respectable people, wherein
is girl of some sixteen or seventeen
years of age, apparently sick with chills
and lever, but gradually kept growing
worse until the doctors pronounced
typhoid fever, but failed to cure. And
she lay all last winter with various symp-
toms of disease, such as dyspepsia, liver
complaint, tape worm, &C., but the doc
tors did not and could not tell what was
the matter. Finally early this spring
she took to bleeding at the lungs, with
pain in her stomach, side and one leg,
and finally one fOot-which foot gath
cred at the heel and formed some matter
which the doctors opened, and took
therefrom about one dozen pieces of
needles, and from which they have
taken at different times other pieces of
needles making in all twenty-four or
twenty-five pieces out of her heel, and
about four weeks ago one of her breasts
became swollen, and upon examination,
was opened and several pieces of needles
taken out and one pin! And at various
times lately, till there have been fifty
seven pieces of needles and four pins
taken from her breast and heel. The
needles appear to have been of various
sizes, and generally broken I'm three
pieces, except some of the smaller ones
which are in two pieces. She is now in
comparative good health, so that she
visits Smiths Ferry almost every day to
have some pin or needles taken from her
breast or heel. The pins are all bent as
though there had been an effort to break
them in three pieces, and all the needles
appear more or less corroded for being
in contact with the brass pins. How
they got there is Il mystery that no one
can solve. There seems to be no doubt
but that she swallowed them, but hor or
,rhen no one knows, nor how many are
yet TO come out of her system. 1t is a
remarkable case

To the Public,

According to an understanding we
had in establishing paper here. the
Post-office has been given us by the re-
quest of many Republicans within the
range of this delivery. Having taken
possession of the same it shall always be
our aim to be courteous, accommoda-
ting and obliging, so far as is right and
proper, and shall also adhere strictly to
the laws laid down by the Post-office
Department, so that We shall grant all
that is right. and decline all that is
wrong. All persons having boxes at
this Office will coniera great favor on us,
As well as on themselves, when calling
at the office, by giving Us the number of
their boxes and the names of those re-
ceiying mail through them, 81 that we
may he able To properly label the same.
As quite a number of boxes have not the
names on them. and not being able 70
secure any one 10 assist us acquainted
with the same. some mistakes may Oc-
cur which we hope 10 avoid when the
boxes are rightly labeled.
We were unable to secure a suit
able room just where we wanted il, but
we have fitted up one that is very well
suited for an office, and which seems TO
give universal satisfaction. twill COM
pare favorably with any in adjoining
counties.

A white cloud of blossoms overhead ::
around, music and fragrance, and caress-
ing breezes: freeing heart and brain
from weary care. and lullin@ the mind
to that dreamy state akin to ecstacy.
This and much more may be realized, if
you will but stop in your rush of busy
life, and come out under the apple trees
in the balmy spring-time. Enjoyment,
true, and sweet, and free TO all. Not
only enjoyment but lessons worth
treasuring through life. Men and wo-
men might come out and return, with
less of the savage and more of the christ
ian i'm them. Man learning that there
is room and happiness enough, and to
spare might feel on better terms with his
fellow-man and rea1ize the little need of
jostling, elbowing and knocking down
his brother, that he may find room to
stand or climb: but initiating the ever
busy bee and its kindred, mp among the
blossoms, pursuing daily tasks, but nol
once forgetting to add its happy notes to
the stream of music floating out from
the multitude of their tiny throats.
Thus ''each helping each, and all help
ing ALL" be happier and better while
moving on.
Woman, might, while noting the beau
ties, above, beneath, on every side, take
TO heart the happy lesson, that there are
more beautiful things, than ribbons and
laces, curls and chignons that there are
truer enjoyments, than those found
within theatre and ballroom, and rs
sweet sounds as those of flattery and
song. And those who have grown
world-weary from excess of labor, I'M
bibing the pure pleasure of the hour,
might feel the blood again coursing
through their veins, with youthful rapid
ity, and Time going backward in his
flight, as memory recalls scenes in days
that are past, when they, more supple
of limb and light of heart, sported on
the grass beneath or scrambled to the
top of the inviting apple tree, in the
well remembered orchard of childhood.
Come out, then under the apple trees
where beauty, wisdom and pleasure
stand ready TO welcome you.

GOING NORTH.
GOING SOUTH.
BeaUtify Home.

Under the stirring inspiration of this
charming spring weather, we cannot let
this number go to press without jogging
the elbows of our readers and pointing
them to some needed improvements in
the grounds about their dwellings. Vii
layers and farmers alike are interested
in this work of embellishing and bean-
tifying their houses. No one can fully
count the influence of beautiful farms
and colOrs in the outside world. \ fine
tree, a smooth, yelvety lawn and a bed
of roses, are faithful teachers, and their
silent influence, on young and old, is
sure, constant, and always for the better.
Courage, patience, gentleness and purity,
these are the qualities they ever impart,
and impress them upon the minds of the
young. We trust that no argument is
needed to stir up our readers to the work
of planting and ornamenting their yards
and grounds. \ day or two spent in
such labor, or an hour before breakfast
for week or two will work wonders.

The RaiIraad Accident. .

On Monday afternoon, Way Freight
No. 81, going West. met with a fright
full accident, near Windsor, while at
tempting to cross the Black Fork bridge.
Defective timbers in the bridge caused
it to give way. The engine and tender
were precipitated into the creek. Five
men, the engineer, fireman, two brakes
men and carpenter went down with
the wreck. Charley Hall, one of the
brakesmen, had his leg broken and was
otherwise considerably bruised, but is
now getting along finely. The other
men received slight bruises, but nothing
serious. The Company put about 100
men at work Immediately to repair
damages, and already trains are passing
over the repaired bridge. The engine
has not been yet but will be in few
days. We can give no correct estimate
of the amount of damages.-Ashlond

The Germania of Akron.

This enterprising new German paper
is about to change editors and proprie-
tors. Prof. C. +. kolbe of our town has
purchased the entire stock and will take
charge of the editorial and financial de-
partment the lst of July. Mr.. Kolbe is a

zen, but as it cannot be helped, we wish
him abundant success both literary and
pecuniarv.

Marble Works.

We called in to see Mr.. Charley Daily,
proprietor of the Millersburg Marble
Works, and saw some very fine work
designs, &C.. of tombstones, monuments
&c. Indeed we feel proud of this estab-
lishment and its proprietor as we are
certain work can be had cheaper and
just as good as in any other town in
in Ohio. Mr.. ID. has some very neat
and tasty original designs of stove sand
monuments.

The Welcome Rain.

On Tuesday all day long the leaden
sky and clouds gave token of approach
ing rain. About one o'clock the rain
began to fall, and ''down, down they
came, those earth-rejoicing drops,'
while the dry and parched earth took up,
with eagerness, the welcome shower.
For half an hour or more the rain fell
fast, mingled with hail. 1t was the
most welcome shower that has fallen for
weeks.

Building Association.

The propriety of organizing Build
ing Association has been suggested to
us. Our opinion is that it would he a
wise move for some of our enterprising
citizens to make, and something that is
needed very much we think. An organ
ization of this kind enables people Of
limited means to acquire homes frequent
ly when,without this aid d,they could not
do so. Let our citizens take hold of
this matter.

Attend TO IL.

Let every person who owns Il fruit
tree look carefully after the little nests
of the tent caterpillar, as they can be
easily destroyed if attended to in season.
At this time the nest is generally ar, or
near, the tips of the limbs, and the twig
can be broken off or the nest crushed,
but i'm a short time the little fellows will
go down on the limbs and make their
nest in large crotch and then it is
more work TO destroy them.

Fine Surgical Operation.

DIR. J. p. Pomerenc assisted by DIR.
Firestone of Wooster, removed large
Ovarian Tumor from the side of Mrs.
FYsck, Of Paint Valley, few days since,
which weighed thirty-ninc pounds.
Such tumors are Of frequent occurrence,
but it is seldom that such large ones are
removed successfully. The lady was
getting along Is well as could be ex-
pected, the last we heard from her. It
is not entirely certain whether she will
recover from the effects of it or not
DIR. Pomcrene's ability as a surgeon, is
well known. and acknowledged by all
in this section of the State. And OF DIR,
Firestone, everybody has heard. Taking
if all in ali, we are free TO say, that the
physicians of Millersburg stand high in
their profession.

County Paner.

We sometimes meet individuals who
complain of their county paper and
cease to take it, preferring to subscribe
for city paper. They do not seem to
comprehend the facts in relation to the
publication and support of papers. In
the first place, the terms of nearly all
the city papers are the same as the
county papers-$2 for single copy, and
the only way they get them for less than
that price is by clubbing, and sending
for number of copies at 4 time. Then
again they must invariably send the
money in advance, which they very
seldom do, for their colinty paper. But
the principal difference consists in the
fact that it costs the publisher of the
county paper the same to set his type,
that it does the city publisher, and set
ting the type is the principal expense in
publishing newspaper, Of small circu-
lation. After the type is once set, the
expense is then merely for blank paper
and presswork, and the paper with an
hundred thousand subscribers can better
afford to take one dollar year, than the
paper with one thousand subscribers,
two dollars. Of course the large city
papers contain greater amount of read-
ing matter than the county papers, but
which is the most useful and interest
ing9 That's the question. DO the city
papers say anything in regard your own
county! Nothing. Do they contain
notices of our schools, churches, meet
ings, marriages, and hundreds of other
local matters of interest which the
country papers publishes without pay !.
Not an item. DO they ever say Il word
calculated to draw attention to our
county and to its numerous thriving
towns, and aid in our progress and en-
terprise: Not a line. And yet, there
are men who take the contracted view
of this matter that unless they are get
ing as many square inches of reading
matter in their county paper as they do
in city paper, they are not getting the
worth of their money. 1t reminds us.

Clark l. Sons.

A want long felt has at last been sup
piled. Clark &c Sons of Wooster, have
met the want and have remedied it by
establishing store where the latest
styles of Dress Goods and everything in
the Dry Goods line can be had at very
low prices. One of the firm is in New
York, and keeps posted on all matters in
their trade, which enables them to give
extra bargains TO their customers. The
prOprietors are all gentlemen of long
experience in the business, and are de-
serving of the patronage which they are
daily receiving. 1t is now headquarters

1 Good Point.
IsIC LAND.

We know of no better point than Mil
lersburg for manufacturers, of any kind,
to locate. We have an abundance OF
coal and water, and good country
around us. We will soon have a rail-
road, southwest of us to Delaware, with
a fair prospect of another direct TO the
Ohio River. Property as yet, can he
bought at very favorable figures, but
the day is not far distant when we may
expect decided advance in the valua-
ton of the same: hence we believe it a
good point to locate. Persons having
the means can make no better invest
ment than to buy lots and build, for
houses are, in great demand now in
Millersburg. Better this way, however,
than to have houses stand idle.

Disgraceful Conduct.

We have since learned that the above
parties have been arrested, brought to
town and fined ten dollars and costs,
which amounted to fifteen dollars and
twenty cents. Good.

three ribs. She is badly hurt and it is

she is quite old, the chances for recov-

answer is, simply because it does every
thing in the sewing line with such per-

self. No other machine has such unan-
