A Tale of Trne Love.

We copy the following from the Stark
county Democrat: In our marriage no
tices will be found that of Mr.. Jacob and
Rebecca kaufman. By this event there
hangs a tale. The same parties were
Joined in lawful wedlock, near fifty years
ago in Pennsylvania, and lived together
several years and had three or four chill
dren. Mr.. Kaufman becoming quite dis
sipated, caused family trouble, and sep
aration by divorce was the result. He
moved to Canton some So years ago, re-
formed and married a worthy woman,
with whom he lived agreeably till last
September, when she died. By this lady
he had no children.
One of his sons, by Mrs. Kaufman first
and third, has lived with his father fol
many years, his step mother treating
him as if her own. Mr.. Kaufman is a
worthy old gentleman, about IS years OF
age now, and his wife is not many years
younger. We wish them many years Of
happiness. 1t is quite proper they
should come together. Mr.. Kaufman
for several years has been raising three
little motherless grand children, who
will doubtless appreciate worthy
grandmother.

Court.

Court is still in session. Several cases
have been tried. Last week the one of
special interest was that of Sumner &
Co. uersus Benjamin Libby. The defen-
dant was charged with embezzlemento of
money belonging to said plaintiffs,
while acting as their agent for the
Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine.
Cowen, Maxwell & Estill were employed
for defendant, C. F. Worries and L. r.
Critchfield for plaintiffs. The defense
was conducted by counsel, and Mr..
Cowen's address to the jury was clear
pointed, and at times eloquent, bringing
tears to the eyes of some of his hearers.
For young man Mr.. Cowen stands
high in his profession. The prosecution
was also ably carried on, but they failed
to bring forth evidence of guilt on the
part of the defendant. The case closed
on Friday noon, when the jury retired,
and in a few minutes returned with a
verdict of not guilty. The proof was
explicitly clear that he was not guilty
of the charge.

Fun at Home.

Don't be afraid of little fun at home,
good people! Don't shut up your house
lest the sun should fade your carpets;
and your hearts, lest n hearty laugh
should shake down some of the musty
old cobwebs there! Ifyou want to ruin
your sons, let them think that all mirth
and social enjoyment must be left on
the threshold without when they come
home at night. When once home is
regarded as only place to eat, drink,
and sleep in, the work is begun that ends
in gambling houses and reckless desra-
dation. Young people must have fun
and relaxation somewhere; if they do
not find it at their own hearthstones, it
will be sought at other, and perhaps less
profitable places. Therefore, let the fire
burn brightly at night, and make the
homestead delightful with all those little
arts that parents SO perfectly under
stand. Don't repress the buoyant spirits
of your children; half an hour of mer-
riment around the lamp and fire-light
of home blots out the remembrance of
many care and annoyance during the
day; and the best safeguard they can
take with them into the world is the un-
seen influence of bright little domestic

Our Railroad.

The Columbus Journal says Judge
Hurd, of Mt. Vernon is in the city look
ing after the interests of the Millers-
burg, Mt. Vernon and Columbus rail-
way. Our shrewdest railway men are
taking hold of this enterprise. Let it
be pushed forward, for the interests of
Columbus are largely involved in its
success.
In addition to the above; we see that
a meeting of the prominent business
men of the city was held, at which Judge
Hurd presented the claims of our road
with much clearness and force giving
the history and present condition of the
enterprise. Four Committees of prom
inent men were appointed to take steps
at once to raise $125,000 the amount re-
quired of that city. All agree that the
matter is of much importance to Co
lumbus. Everything is favorable for an
early organization, and commencement
of the work.

C0IOnial Money.

Mr.. John Richart, who is employed in
the Stove and Tin store of Worries &
Hudson, showed us three bills of the old
colonial money, printed by B. Franklin
and D. Hall. The bills are about three
inches square, and are printed on thick
paper somewhat resembling common
blotting paper. They were printed in
two colors---red and black. We have
italicized the portion in red. We were
unable to make out correctly the sigma
lures of any except one, and strange to
say, that one was the Oldest, being
printed in 175S---one hundred and thir-
teen years ago.
Counterfeiters had greater risk to
run in those times than they have now.
The caution ON the back OF each bill was
Ito counterfeit is DEATH.
These bills have been handed down
from father to son through four gener-
ations.
No. 6O9O. FIFTY SHLLLINGS.
This bill shall pass current for T,oo
Pounds Ten ,Shtllings, within the Prov
ience of Pennsylvania according to act
of Assembly, made in the 32nd year of
the Reign Of Hing George II. Dated
April 25, 1853.
On the back is the print of leaf, and
around the edges of the border are the
words: To counterfeit is DEATH. Ttoo
Pounds Ten .Shillings. Printed by B.
Franklin and d. Hall, 1853.
The oldest one is Twenty Shilling
bill, dated in 175S. 1t reads as follows:
No. S042. TWENTY SHLLLINGS.
THIS Indented BILL shall pass cur
rent for Twenty Shillings within the
Government of the Counties of New
Castle, Kent, and Sussex on Delaware
according to act of Assembly of the said
Government, made in the 31st year of

George IL. Dated the first day of March,

The other bill was issued according to
act made in the Fourth year of the

Ouiutesseuce of Neanness.

A very mean confidence game was
perpetrated in Pittsburg on Wednesday
evening last. A little boy went to the
pay Office of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company and drew the pay of his un-
Gle, brakeman, amounting to forty
dollars. Just after leaving the office he
was overtaken by man bareheaded,
with pen behind his ear, who told the
boy he wished to count the money over,
and the boy, supposing he was one of
the clerks, gave it to him and that was
the last of it. The officials, hearing OF
the matter, made up the forty dollars for
the boy and sent him home rejoicing.

Be Polite.

There is nothing ever lost by being
polite. Age especially should COM
mand the respect of the young. We
heard little anecdote day or two ago,
which illustrates this subject well. 1t
happened in railroad car. A young
lady, very gaudily dressed, stepped into
the car at a certain station and began to
look for seat. Every seat was occu-
pied. No one offered to move. An old
man, of very gentlemanly appearance,
arose and offered her his seat. She took
it without saying word. The old gen.
tleman noticing this, and wishing to
teach her lesson in etiquette, stepped
back and said to her, as though he
thought she had spoken to him,-"What
did you say, Madam? "Nothing," she
replied. "Oh! excuse me-" said he, 81
thought you said thank yoa.''
