THE Putnam Fire Insurance company
has busted, in consequence of its great
losses at Chicago. Our office is insured
in this company and we have no knowl-
edge of its having complied with
the laws of Ohio. which requires every
company to publish an annual statement
of its condition in at least one county
paper where an agency is established.
There are many insurance companies
that sneakingly evade the requirements
of the Ohio Insurance law. Whose duty
is it to See that said law be strictly en-
forced?

THE WYANDoT FAIR.-The Annual
Wyandot Agricultural Fair for 1871 J.,

wagon manufacturers were on hand with
very creditable samples of their goods.
Our artists were there with full displays
of pictures and photographs. The dis
play of fruit was good but can't say as
to the taste. as we made no practical test.
There was some gambling concerns on
the ground, bur the officers very proper
ly suppressed them on Saturday MORN
ing. They should never have been al
lowed to enter at all. Racing was also
discouraged by the officials.
Saturday forenoon it was raining and
had the effect OF keeping visitors from
abroad from attending. The officers did
the best they could to secure the success
OF the Fair by economy and prudence in
the management of the same, and we
have the pleasure of announcing that the
receipts were about $3.50. which will
place the Society in good financial shape.

THE other day, the engineer on the
fast train that arrives here from the west
shortly after five O'Clock z. NJ. discovered,
somewhere beyond Lima. some obstruc-
tions on the road, and by means of the
patent air brakes, succeeded in stopping
his train about ten feet before reaching
the fatal spot. Some Internal villains
had stuck iron bars through culVert
and then braced them by means of logs.
Had not the viyilant engineer discovered
the awful danger in time. the cOnSequen
ces must have been horrible. May the

and hung.
Sunday morning last, as the Pacific
train was coming from Chicago. the en-

raining and very dark. it was impossible

so far checked that no harm was done to

The PlagiariOs.

correspondent writing from Mazat-
Ian says: "One of the peculiar pro-
ducts of the society of this country is
the plagiario or kidnapper The ambi
ton of his life is to abduct some
wealthy parsonage and hold the victim
in safe-keeping until ransomed by n
large sum of money. The piagairio is
not particular whether his game is
man, woman or child, so that gold in
abundance Is one of the possessions of
the abducted. There have been some
extraordinary cases of kidnapping, the
latest among them being that of a Mrs.
Charles, Frenchwoman, who short
time ago went on visit with her hus-
band and other friends to the residence
of Mr.. Polak, at place called Molino
de Flores, near Otumba. Mr. Charles
and the other visitors had lust gone
out to take a look at things about the
house, when nine bandits entered and
boldly seized Mrs. Charles, whom they
carried Oft as unceremoniously as if she
belonged to them body and soul. The
lady yelled for help and screamed in
agony, but not until it was too late.

Foundation of Colleges.

The first college in the American col
onies was that at Cambridge, founded
in 1888. The first Commencement was
held in October, l642, when nine stu
dents were admitted to the degree of
Bachelors. 1t took its name, Harvard,
from principal benefactor. For more
than sixty years, gentlemen in Con-
necticut sent their sons to Cambridge
for an education; but in 1899 the clergy
in Connecticut nominated ten of their
number as trustees to form a college
These met in New Haven in 100, and
formed society which was to consist of
eleven clergymen and rector, for the
purpose of establishing and governing
college. A charter of incorporation
was granted by the Legislature i'll Octo.
Der, 270l. Mr.. Pierson, of KilIingworth,
was appointed the first rector, and dur
ing his life he instructed the students
in that town. The first Commencement
was in September, 1902. On the death
of Mr.. Pierson in l705, the students
were placed at Milford and Saybrook,
under different instructors, and so con-
tinued until l7l6, when New Haven
was made the permanent seat of the
college. 1t is called Yale College, after
the name of one of the principal bene-
factors.

Two Lives.
BY GEORGE W. SEARS.


They sat with their small white feet in the
brook.
Two country maidens. of beauty rare,
Kate with her bright espiegie look,
And blue eyed Blanche with her golden hair.
The air was fragrant with new -mown hay.
The wild bee wrought with drowsy hum!
And they chatted the dreamy hours away
With girlish plans for the year to come.
And she with the eyes of sparklingjet
Would be content as farmers wife.
To shun the folies that wear and fret.
For the quiet pleasures of country life.
Then Blanche, with her laughing eyes of blue.
Shook down river of sunny hair
That rippled and flowed in the golden hue
Der bosom and neck, and shoulder bare.
And l." she said. will live in the town.
With lackeys to go or to come at call;
And should he proud if men might crown
Me queen ofbeauty at rout or ball.
my husband shall be a millionaire"
All. poorly you guess tho future life:
On you, with your beauty ripe and rare,
Shall fall the lot OF farmers wife.
And red Tipped Kate, Wits her midnight curls.
Shall win the riches for which you pine,
Her brow shall glisten with gems and pearls,
Her table with plate and costly wine.
But she shall long for the new mown hay.
And the gushy shadows on upland leas.
And sicken and tire of her splendid way,
Aud sigh for the brooks and birds, and bees.
And you will sneer at your narrow lot.
And weary and tire of your household cares
And each shall covet what each has not
And pine for the burden the other wears.
Oh city dame. and oh farmers wife
Each from the other too long estranged:
Yewere two jewels of love and life,
IF but the settling were turned and changed.

Of course | thought was recovering a

"Oh, then" said Miss Mary, ''you
are the gentleman who lent us
the umbrella, so kindly some months
ago in London? Harry this is
James and my escort. Don't you re-
member p
This familiarity may have been pleas
ing to Harry, but it by no means fol
lowed that it was to me; SO | remarked
as coldly as possible:
Miss Graham, again beg your par
don for the interruption and as the
umbrella is pleasant for your use, allow
me the pleasure of transferring the
ownership to you
Gentlemen she said, "allow me to
introduce you to each other. Mr.. Thorn

Did she not "accent" cousin pretty
strongly? thought she did at least !;
and it made me take heart, and act
more pleasantly; and in five minutes

though the young lady was on the
freest terms with Graham, it was only
on account of the relationship between
them.
To explain my appearance, | gave the
same excuse as | had to Wyndham, and
was forthwith put to work to make a
sketch of the umbrella, and with them

After while | noticed old Tim
Hayes, the fisherman, launching his
boat from the shore, going off for an

the same, it suddenly occurred to him
that he had promised to go with the old
man that afternoon so, begging the
young lady's leave, he placed her once
more under my escort with the UNI
brella, and need not tell you the re-
suit, for here comes Mary, and she
would be angry if she knew that | had
been divulging our love aftlirs, even to
tell the story Of our old blue cotton UNI
brella.

A DeacOn,S Mite.

The rumor reaches us of an amusing
incident that happened in an up town
church last Sunday. 1t appears that
the house was. crowded to an unusual
extent that day, aud one of the deacons
was noticeably happy over the thought
that the collection would be very large
The thought worried him very much
and faint visions of heaping plate en-
crossed his mind to such an extent that
he heard but little of the sermon, and
moved his ponderous form about in the
seat with nervous anxiety for the time
of taking up the collection to approach.
At last the warning came-the organ
pealed forth its rich notes, and the
building trembled with the sound.
Every deacon rose to his feet promptly
with brightly shining silver plates, and
among them was the obese church Off
cial before alluded to. He thought to
effect decoy, and with great difficulty
ran his hand down into his breeches
pocket, abstracting therefrom what he
thought was a silver hall dollar, which
he placed in the plate, and commenced
his rounds of collecting. He noticed
that every one he passed the plate to
laughed, and he was at loss to know
what it meant. Finally an old brother
in the corner noticed the cause of mer
riment, and bringing their heads very
close together, he whispered to the
deacon: Brother -, think you
made mistake as to the decoy you put
into the plate" The deacon glanced at
the plate, and turned red and pale al
ternately, for he saw there large white
faro check, which his embarrassment
magnifed into the size of saucer. 1t
is needless to say that the obnoxious
thing was put out of sight in hurry,
and the prevailing opinion is that
Brother had been caressing the
tiger the Saturday night previous.

Vanity.

The sun comes up, and the sun goes down.
And the day and night are the same as one:
The year grows green, and the year grows brown
And what is it all when all is done2
Grains of sombre and shining sand,
Sliding into and out of the hand.
And men go down in ships to the seas,
And hundred ships are the same as one
And backward and forward blows the breeze.
And what is it all when all is done =?
A tide with never shore in sight
Setting steadily on to the night.
The fisherman droppeth his net in the stream,
And a hundred streams are the same rs one;
And n maiden dreameth her love-lit dream,
And what is it all when all is done2
The net OF the fishers the burden BREAKS
And after dreaming, the dreamer wakes.

in his hurry took the trumpet for the
servants pail, and delivered quart OF

Beautiful Ireland.

We know, of course, that Ireland is
called the Emerald Isle" and that
the color of the emerald is green, but
never had it entered into our i'm
agination that there was anywhere in
this world to be seen such verdure as it
charmed our eyes to look upon in the
rural districts of Ireland. The slopes,
the knobs, the dells, fields of young
grain, over which the breezes creep like
playful spirits of the beautiful the
pastures, dotted over with sheep of the
purest wool the hillsides, rising up into
mist-shrouded mountains, are all cover
ed with thick carpets of smooth, velvet
green. But Ireland should also be call
ed the Flowery Isle. There is not a
spot in Ireland, believe, where blessed
nature can find an excuse for putting a
flower, but she has ut one-not only
in the gardens and in the meadows, but
upon the very walls and the crags of the
sea, from the great blooming rhododen-
drons down to the smallest howret that
modestly peeps forth from its grassy
cover. The Irish furze, so richly yellow,
covers all places that might otherwise
be bare or barren; the silkworm de-
lights everywhere, from thousands of
trees, to "drop its web of gold;" the
blooming hawthorn, with the sweet
scented pink, and especially the white
variety, adorns the landscape and the
gardens; wall flowers, of every hue and
variety, Chamber to hide the harshness
of the mural supports; the beetled
cliffs of the North Sea are fringed and
softened with lovely flowers; and if you
kneel anywhere almost upon the yield
ing, velvety carpet, you will find little,
well-nigh invisible, fowerets, red, white,
blue, and yellow wrought into the very
woof and texture. Ireland ought to be
called the Beautiful Isle. The spirit of
the Beautiful hovers over and touches
to living loveliness every point.-PaN

More Big Indians Found in Virginia


Not to be behind Canada, Virginia
puts in claim to the possession of a
cave full of dead Indians, the Peters
burg Index giving the tale as quoted be
low, on the authority of gentlemen
whom it asserts to be of the highest
character and credit, who have seen
with their own eyes, and touched and
tested with their own hands, the won
derful objects of which they make re
port as follows:
The workmen engaged in opening
a way for the projected railway between
Weldon and Garysburg, struck on Mon
day, about one mile from the former
place, in bank beside the river, cat
acomb of skeletons, supposed to be
those of Indians of remote age and a
lost and forgotten race. The bodies eX
humed were of strange and remarkable
formation. The skulls were nearly an
inch in thickness the teeth were filed
sharp, as al those of cannibals, the en-
amel perfectly preserved; the bones
were of wonderful length and strength
the .tfmnr being as long as the leg of
an ordinary man, the stature of the
body being, probably, as great as eight
or nine feet. Near their heads were
sharp stone arrows, stone mortars in
which their corn was brayed, and the
bowls of pipes, apparently of soft friable
soapstone. The teeth of the skeletons
are said to be as large as those of horses.
One of them has been brought to the
city, and presented to an officer of the
Petersburg Railroad The bodies were
found closely packed together, laid tier
on tier, as it seemed. There was no dis
cernable ingress into or egress out of
the mound.'

Lord Gladstone.

Mr. Gladstone has made a singular
exhibition of loss of temper on the hust-
ings, on account of the success of the
Battle of Dorking." In recent
speech at Whitby he referred to that re-
markable squib as part of system of
"alarmism' by which the people of
England were to be prejudiced, if posi-
BILE, against the Liberal Government.
This was not lamentable want of tact,
but discovery ofextreme sensitiveness
of which member of the cabinet
should never have been guilty. g The
Battle of Dorking'' has meanwhile been
published in the iStoiss Review formerly
of Geneva), in German translation, for
the benefit of the Continental public.
1t will, perhaps, interest Mr. Gladstone
and the British public to learn that an
honest farmer of Surrey, according to
the Richmond Enquirer, has written to
relative in Virginia, that all this rub
bish in the papers about battle be-
tween the Germans and the English at
Dorking is blasted hoax that he lives
very near Dorking, and that nothing of
the kind has occurred there at all.
