AN CNfOhTUNATE 0lBL ATTEMPTS TO COM
NIT SUIcIDR.-Last night Officer Loane took to
the central guardhouse young and frail girl,
named Hettie Clark whom he found wandering
about on ID street, between 18th and 18th, acting
in strange manner. She informed the officer
that she had taken poison to destroy herself,
and exhibited to him an empty half-ounce vial
labeled "laudanum," the contents of which she
had taken at least one hour previous. The off,
Ger hurried her on to the station house, where
she soon began to show the effects Of the roison;
but some Of her male friends by this time being
present, took her by each arm and kept walking
her up and down the pavement to preye Mt the
inclination to sleep. She stated that she had
taken the poison ct q house on 18th street. and
the keeper when she discovered the fact turned
her into the street; that she went to Anna Mil
ler's house, on 18th street, where she had preyi-
ously boarded, but was denied admission; that
she tried several other places utcould not gain
admission, when the oficer found her Is above
stated. Two fast young men, who appeared to
know her, disguised the officers present by their
indecent manner, and Oficer voss sent one of
them for physician, and the other to get warm
water and mustard, which he administered 20
the unfortunate. Soon after the other returned
with an emetic from tho drug store of DR..
Nairn, and IL was not long before the remedies
had the desired effect. and, being fairly out OF
danger, the officers at the station permitted her
aforesaid male friends to take her away. The
cause assigned for the rash act was that heI
lover had deserted her.

HOW no 60 WEST,


This is an enquiry which every one should
have trtahftslly answered before he starts on
his journey, and little care taken in ezami-
nation Of Routes winin many cases save much
trouble, time and money.
The &C, B. s. @. R. b." running from
Chicago, through Galesburg to Burlington,
and the al, B s. W. Route" running from
Indianapolis, through Bloomington to Bur-
lington, have achieveda splendid reputation in
the last two years as the leading Passenger
Routes to the West. At Burlington they con-
meet with the B. & NJ. R. R. and from the
great Burlington Route, which runs direct
through Southern Iowa to Nebraska and Kan
sas, with close connections to California and
the Territories; and passengers starting from
sandusky County, on their way westward,
cannot do better to take the BURIINeToN
ROUTE.
This Line has published pamphlet called
@How to go West, which contains much val
liable information large correct map of the
Great West, which can be obtained free Of
charge by addressing the General Passenger
Agent B. & NJ. R. r. Burlington, Iowa.

Bulletin Literature.-We have often
been greatly amused at reading the announce
ments that are continually appearing on bulle-
tin boards In public places. Union religious
service Is announced in modest bills, with
plaster or with paste. Before these succum b
to the elements, or to the destructive fingers of
street boys, the flaming posters of circus are
spread, then lectures. minstrels,. concerts, ma
giciAns, &c, are duly announced by means of
posters, bills, and the like, which are arranged
partly over, above, below, or by the side of
those preceding. The result is that on q bull
letin board you viii read the astounding an
nouncement that the Original Georgia Min
strels assisted by Bishop = will administer
the rite Of confirmation at st. - Church, for
four nights only; or Rev. -, the world re-
nOWned prestidigitator, will give one of his
unique entertainments at the Presbyterian
Church, two nights only. Six mammoth tents
and a Wigwam. No cure, no pay. Young
Mems Christian Association, season of Y and
73. Change of programme each evening. Use
golden salVe for chilblains, oysters extra, and
SO on. What chagrin must noted singer ex-
perience when on arriving in town she finds
herself announced as the greatest bare back
rideESin the world, or Of lecturer on some great
moral subject, 70 find herself announced the
only genuine Cannibal in this country. Any
person who will watch bulletin boards that are
much used, will find abundant occasion for
amusement at the freaks of language, made by
accidental transposition.
