A Singular Relationship,

A friend who married widow, ex-
plains as follows, how he got mixed up
in relationship: al married widow
who had a grown up daughter. My IA
ther visited our house very often, fell in
love with my step-daughter and married
her. So my father became my son-in-
law and my step-daughter, my mother,
because she was my fathers wife. Some
time afterwards my wife had a son-he
was my fathers brother-in-law, and my
uncle, for he was the brother of my
step-mother. My fathers wife, i. e., my
step-daughter had also a son; he was
of course my brother, and in the mean
time my grandchild, for he was the son
of my daughter. My wife was my grand
mother, because she was my mothers
mother. Twas my wife's husband and
grandchild at the same time. And as
the husband of a persons grandmother
is his grandfather, I was my own
grandfather.

According to announcement Miss
Alexander of Canton, delivered a lecture
in Town Hall, on Tuesday evening,
which was largely attended by our
most intelligent citizens. Her subject
was: "Travels through Europe" The

manner of delivery, and the way in
which she treated her subject. She GER
tainly did great credit to herself, and
succeeded in drawing larger house
than any other lecturer of the season.
We should be glad to give our readers

Weather Indications,

The color of the sky at particular
times affords wonderful good guidance.
Not only does a rosy sunset presage
good weather, but there are other tints
which speak with equal clearnesss and
accuracy. A bright yellow sky in the
evening indicates wind; a pale yellow,
wet; neutral gray color constitutes a
favorable sign in the. evening, and an
unfavorable one in the morning. The
clouds are again full Of meaning in
themselves. If their forms are soft, un-
defined, full and feathery, the weather
will be fine; if their edges are hard,
sharp and defined, it will be foul. Gen.
orally speaking, any deep, unusual hues
betoken wind and rain; while the more
delicate tints bespeak fair weather.

Light.bearted PeODle,

There are people who habitually make
the best of things, not from sense of
duty, not from dislike or sympathy, not
from any shirking of pain on their ac-
count for others, but simply from nat
ural and unconquerable lightness of
heart. These people supply the oxygen
of the moral atmosphere, and should be
maintained at the public expense to keep
it sweet and pure. Even if, instead of
being, as they generally are, active and
otherwise members of society, they did
nothing but enjoy life, they would still
be worth cultivating for the sake of the
light and heat which they kindle. The
only difficulty is, how to regulate them.
They are SO irresistibly impelled to sing
songs that in world where heavy hearts
are unfortunately common, it is difficult
to keep the vinegar and nitre apart.

Professional Notice.

We rejoice to learn that the eminently
successful and justly celebrated DIR.
Barbour of the Pittsburgh Eye and Ear
Infirmary, and latterly of Walters Sur
gical Institute, has taken lodgings at the
Empire House, where he will be ready
to give special attention to Deafness, all
diseases of the Eye, and to the numer-
Gus Chronic ailments, which are making
the lives of so many miserable, and fill
ing our graveyards with untimely guests.
He will also give prompt attention to all
surgical cases. --.-
DR.. Barbour is always in perfect SYM
pathy and harmony with the resident
physicians of the numerous places
which he visits.

Talking at Table.

Is it proper to talk at table," By
all means. We are aware that some few
consider it proper to observe perfect ST.
lence while at table. We do not know
how such horrible custom originated,
yet we have few times been guest at
such tables, but hope never to be again.
The table is just the very place to talk,
and the meal hours should be amongst
the pleasantest of the day. Don't talk
business and discuss what work shall
be done after dinner, but give the time
to social chat. This should not prolong
the meal inconveniently, but there
should be enough of it to prevent the
common custom of rapid eating.

Another Railroad Charter.

We see by the Ohio State Journal
that a certificate has been filed i'm the
Office of the Secretary of State for the
incorporation of the Eastern Ohio z. r.
Company, with a capital of 81 100000 to
construct road from New Philadelphia
in Tuscarawas county, through Harri-
son, Guernsey, Noble, Muskingum, Nor
gan, Perry and Athens, to Pomeroy, in
Meigs county, with F. w. Wood, DR.. F.
Rea, J. A. Mcconnell, Geo. Smith, Ben
net Roseman and others as Corporators.
This is really the old southwestern
railroad project.

Good Friday.

Next Friday, April 7th, being Good
Friday, it will be observed by several
denominations as holiday. 1t received
its name from the blessings which re-
suited from our Savior's suferings on
the cross. Among the Saxons it was
called Long Friday, from the long fast
ings and Offices used by them at that
period. The name of Good Friday is
peculiar to the Church of England,
from which it is derived by us. Holy
Friday or the Friday in Holy Week was
its more ancient and general appella-
ton. The opinion is generally received
that the Apostles ordained the anniver-
saries of the Passion, Resurrection and
Ascension of our Lord and the descent
of the Holy Ghost on the day of Pente-
cost, which is still observed in the Ro-
man Catholic, Protestant Episcopal, and
one or two other Protestant churches.
The Puritans, however, although strin-
gent in the observance of the Sabbath,
always set their faces against the OBJ
servance of all other holidays, and even
now, what are called the Evangelical
denominations, disregard the recurrence
of these holy occasions. Representa-
tions of the Crucifixion were very COM
mon during the middle ages, whether in
stone, in wood, or glass. 1t was also a
very common subject for paintings on
thewalls. Most of these representations
have, however, either been destroyed or
mutilated by the Puritans. The Tene-
bre, signifying darkness, is service per-
formed in Roman Catholic Churches on
Good Friday, to denote the circumstances
and darkness of the Crucifixion. The
succeeded Sabbath, calling Easter Sab
bath,- from the Saxon Oster to rise,
which is the highest of all feasts, is eel
ebrated with great pomp and splendor
in that church, and is also observed with
becoming joy in the Protestant Episco-
pal and churches of other Protestant
denominations.

The man must lead happy life,

Until he saw q woman's face,

Hypocrisy's deceit and pride;

Cursed be the foolish man, say,
Who changes from his singieness;
Who will not yield to woman's sway,
Is sure Of perfect messedness.

That Watch and Chain.

What beautiful gold chain, and
what splendid gold watch you have at
tached to it. Where did you getit? Did
your father bring it from New York for
you? Oh, wish knew where to get
one like it." "Just stop a moment,
Mary, and viii tell you where you can
get the mate TO it, without sending to
New York for it, '0h, where? Do
tell" "Why, just where l always buy

From the Wheeling Intelligence, Oct. %, '6s.
Opinions Of the Press.

ave yesterday witnessed most diff
ficult and delicate surgical operation,
the extraction of 4 Cataract from the
eye of an old lady living on Monroe
street. The operation did not appear
very painful, nor was any blood lost, al
though the cataract, which was removed
from near the centre of the eyeball, was
about as large as an ordinary pea. The
operating surgeon was DR.. Barbour, as
sisted by DR.. Hally Mccoy and DIR. C.
p. Simons.
Light was Immediately restored, but
the eye was soon bandaged and will be
kept so for several days, in order to
avoid Inflammation.
We also saw in the Doctors Rooms,
the little daughter of James b. Graves,
of Martinsyille; whose eyes the DIR. had
Strengthened two weeks ago. Her eyes
had been badly crossed, but are now
perfectly straight. She claims that the
operation was attended with but little
pain.
DR.. Barbour certainly has much skill
as an operator as has been proven many
times i'm our city, as he has now been
visiting this place for three years. He
devotes his exclusive practice to Chronic
Diseases and Surgery, and it is rcnson-
able he should be skillful.''

To Physicians.

We would call the attention of the
Physicians of this county TO the fact
that Drs. Hart & Wilson of Wooster
have an excellent preparation of Chem
ical Food, Syrups and Elixirs, such as
Elixir of Calisaya Bark and Iron, Iron
and Bismuth, &c. These preparations
are made after an Edinburg recipe, and
are very superior article. The great
difficulty heretofore in prescribing these
medicines was the price asked for them.
The Doctors are making arrangement to
furnish them at about two thirds the
price usually asked for them. DIR.
W. r. Yergin has them for sale and will
be glad to have all physicians call and ex-
anime them.
