sudden death Of ! Represen.attre.

Hon. Garrison A. Young, Repre-
sentative in the Legislature from Co.
Iumbiana county, died very suddenly
at the capitol building in Columbus at
about half past two o'clock ou Friday
afternoon. Colonel Young had been
for long time in feeble health, but
on the morning of the sad event ex-
pressed himself as feeling better, and
after dinner, while entering the State
House with fellow Representative,
he remarked that he felt strangely, and
was suddenly seized with a violent
hemorrage of the lungs, the blood
crimsoning the white marble of the
Capitol floor. He was Immediately
carried to the office of the Comptrol-
Ter of the Treasury and medical aid
was summoned, but il was of no
avail, and he died in few min
utes after the attack. He was
about thirty-eight years of age; had
been Probate Judge of .Columbiana
county, military Secretary under Gov
ernor Tod, chief of one of the De-
partments at Washington, and was. at
the time of his death, editor of the
Buckeye State, of New Lisbon. He
was much esteemed by those who
knew him.
The news sof his death fell like
pail upon the Legislature, and both
Houses, after appointing committees
for his funeral, at once adjourned.

AUCTION SALE.-The great sale OF
the splendid stock of Dry Goods of FL.
L. Day, at No. Phenix Block, COM
menced on Thursday last and has con-
tinued from day to day since that
time ; and at each sale the crowd has
been large, and the bidding quite
brisk, though goods have been selling
at. low figures generally, and some ex-
celIent bargains have been obtained.
This is one of the most magnificent
stocks of goods ever brought to the
county, and was not purchased to be
sold at auction. 1t was selected with
the well known care. ability and taste
of Mr.. Day. who has had forty years
experiences in the mercantile business,
but who, owing to circumstances, is
compelled to sell them at sacrifice to
meet the demands of his Eastern cred
itors, and prefers to conduct the sale
himself rather than suffer the loss and
expenses of having it done under ju-
dicial proceedings. We regret that
after over over thirty years of success
full mercantile life in our. town, our
friend Day, who has done so much in
building up our place, is compelled to
make such a sacrifice as this sale must
necessarily involve, and hope that he
may realize sufficient thereiroIn to
put him all right again.
The sale will continue afternoon
and evening for another week or more,
and those who desire to get good bar
gains should not neglect this opportu-
nifty.

CHICKEN THIEF.-For several weeks
past, we learn that some scamp, inst1-
gated by the evil one, has visited the
chicken roosts of several citizens liv-
ing in the south part of this town
ship and the north part of Rootstown,
and wickedly purloined the fowls re-
posing in fancied security. The thief
is known and spotted, and unless he
desists from his. foul business, the suf-
ferers declare that he will get what
''he can't buy at the grocery" So,

SUDDEN DEATH.-Dr. Cyrus Ran
dali, for many years q resident of Ra-
VIENNA, and well-known character,
died suddenly of heart disease, at the
residence of Mr.. Joseph Towns,
about mile and half northwest of
this village, on Saturday evening last,
January 2eth, aged about 66 years.
Up to few minutes before his death
he was in the enjoyment of his usual
health. He had been engaged for sew
eral weeks in, nursing and doctoring
Mr.. Towns, who has for a long time
been suffering from paralysis, and at
the time he was attacked was engaged
in working about the stove, when he
complained of feeling i'll, and fell over
backwards and expired instantly. We
know little of his early history, or
family connections. He was a man
of peculiar habits and character. For
number of years, since the death of
his wife, he has inhabited small
shanty just south of town, living the
life of o recluse. He was q member
of the Disciple Chnrch, and though
having many strange vagaries was a
peaceable and qu1ef citizen. He had
no relatives in this vicinity, but we
understand he had son somewhere
in the West, and brother in the State
of New York.
His remains was taken in charge by
his friends in Charlestown, where he
formerly resided, and were taken there
for interment on Monday last.

FIRE.-A fire occurred on Saturday
morning last in the new house of MI.
r. o. Daniels On Main street, which
came very near destroying the build
ing. The fire doubtless originated
from a defect in the chimney, by
which fire was communicated to the
interior of partition adjoining it.
When Mr.. Daniels, who is night
watchman in the village, went home
at five o'clock Saturday morning, he
tried to start fire in the sitting room
stove, but failing in the first attempt
went to bed. Mrs. Daniels soon
smelled the smoke which he at first
thought had been made by him in try
ing to start the fire. The real cause
was soon discovered, however, and
the alarm of fire soon brought suffi-
cient number of citizens to the spot,
when the fire was readily subdued.-
The damage consists in the partition
being burned through for about foot
in width from. cellar to roof, the dam
age to carpets and destruction of
clothing in a closet adjoining the fire.
The building was fully insured but
there was no insurance on the furni-
ture or wearing apparel.-Ga,retts-

BURGLARY.-On Wednesday eve
ming last the dwelling house of Mr..
Elliott Rawson, about half mile west
of the village, was burglariously en-
tered while he and his wife were vis-
iting friends in town. The house was
ransacked from top to bottom, and
everything i'll trunks and drawers
turned topsy-turvy. The villain car
ried off pair of No. 9 fine boots be-
longing to Mr.. r., and a couple of
port-monaies containing small
amount of scrip. He did considerable
labor and ran a great risk for so small
an amount of plumber.

MR. EDITOR: Believing 1t to be the
duty of every one, however humble
he may be in talent, to contribute
whatever comes to his knowledge
that has tendency as matter for his
tory, or a further enlightenment of
mankind, and Jesse and Ulysses Grant
having now arrived to the height of
their aspiration, an Incident or two
may not come aniss in connection
with either. 1t seems in accordance
with record that Jesse, in the year of
1918, lived in Deerfield, and was
somewhat given to rambling; also, at
the same time there lived in Palmyra,
David Waller, Esq, who kept hotel.
Mr.. George Waller, son of the said
David Waller, Esq, lately in review
