Edward Define was suddenly killed
last Friday morning, while throwing
wood away from a horsepower wood
saw. The circumstances were as follows
He, with others, was engaged i'll saw
ing up poles into stove wood. Having
been saving for some time, the pile of
sawed wood had become higher than
their heads, and formed semicircle to
the rear and left OF the saw The wood,
through carelessnesS, had been permitted
to approach within three feet of the saw,
rolling down around the feet of the saw
tender and the one who threw away the
wood. A large fly wheel attached to the
saw, was permitted to run uncovered
in dangerous proximity to their pile.
Edward was standing with his left side to-
wards this wheel, about TWO feet behind
it, throwing away the sawed wood
While thus engaged, he either let stick
fall, or one rolling from the pile, which
striking the wheel broke it into several
pieces. One piece, several, pounds in
weight, struck him in the side crushing
in his ribs and killing him instantly.
Thus, through the want of the necessary
precaution, another life has been sacrificed
! he parents and friends have the sympa-
tines of the community; but alas how
unconsoling are sympathies in such loss.

! Messrs. Pitcher and Boiler attended the
Teachers Association at Bourbon They
say they had pleasant time, and brag,
in particular, of the hospitality of Dr..
Parks and his estimable lady with whom
they stopped. Why is it that our town
ship was represented by only two teach
ers? Teachers, that is poor way to per-
feet yourself in your profession.

Advertising alone does not produce success
The thing which is advertised must have intrinsic
merit, else large advertising viii eventually do it
more harm than good. If you have anything which
Tou know to be good, adre Use 1T thoroughly, and you
Wl be sure to succeed; if it is poor, don't praise it,
for people will soon discover you are lying.
Such is the policy of the BURLINGTON ROUTE,
which runs to three great regions in the West

Roads. I'd, To Lincoln, the capital of Nebraska,
and all that beautiful region south of the Platte,
filed with r. r. lands and homesteads Sd, To st.
Joseph, Kansas City and all Kansas points.
The roads are splendidly built, have the best
bridges, finest cars, the Miller platform and coup
Ter, and the safety air brake Ito prevent the loss
life that is every where else happening; Pullmans
seepers, Pullman dining cars, large and powerful
engines Ito make quick time and good connections),

West. So that if you desire to go safely, surely,
quickly and comfortably TO any point in Southern

1t is the easiest thing in the world, just
now, for Republican to get nomination
for office. All he has to do is to declare
himself opposed to Gen Grants admin
istration, and Immediately all there is left
of the Democratic party will surround
him and ask him to be their leader The

hated an abolitionist worse than he does

him as the champion of Democracy, and

A RoUsING MEETING.-The Greeley
and Brown meeting held at Citizens
Hall, on Friday evening last was one
of the best and most profitable meet
ings that has been held in this county
during the present campaign. The
hall was filled to its utmost capacity,
and many were unable to gain admit
tance. The meeting should have been
held in the park and would have been
adjourned there but for the threaten
ing aspect of the weather. The
speeches of Messrs. j. w. Heisley
and j. H. Rhodes were among the
most eloquent and able that have ever
been delivered in this place, showing
UP the corruption and usurpations. OF
the present administration in glaring
light, and demonstrating the necessi-
ty for change in the administration
of our national affairs. The speakers
were interrupted by. enthusiastic
cheers, and every one felt amply paid
for the time spent in listening.

A RUNAwAY.-About one O'Clock
last Thusday afternoon while the mail
carrier on the route from this place to
Deerfield was engaged in loading a
trunk into his wagon at the c. s. p.
Railroad station, the horse became
frightened and ran at furious rate.
Near Sycamore Street it took to the
sidewalk and ran up the narrow walk
dragging the vehicle after it to the
north door of tho Etna House where
one of the wheels came in contact
with a hitching post throwing the
wagon against the railing to the steps
of the hotel and badly breaking the
lower step. Here the vehicle was up
set and badly smashed up. The horse
escaped with little or no injury. The
space between the hitching posts and
the buildings is so narrow as but
barely to allow the passage of wag-
on, and it is matter of wonder how
the infuriated animal ran at the top OF
his speed the distance he did without
doing vastly more damage.

A Mass Meeting of soldiers of the
late war is announced to be held here
on Saturday next to choose delegates
to the Pittsburgh Soldiers and Sailors
Convention and to ratify the nomina-
tions of Grant and Wilson. Those
who are anxious to perpettate the
hates and animosties of the war and
opposed to the restoration of peace
and reconciliation, will be on hand of
course. But the soldiers who fought
for peace, for the maintenance fthe
constitution of the fathers of the Re-
public, and "to preserve the Union
with all the rights, dignity and equal
ity of the several States unimpaired''
don't take any stock in that concern,
but regard their mission as soldiers
ended, and are ready to clasp hands
across the bloody chasm. They think
there is not the least necessity of fight
J ng the war over again.

MANTUA

Correspondence
The usual quiet of our town was
disturbed last week by two events
which cast a gloom over the entire
community. The first was the death
on Tuesday evening, of one OF our
most estimable citizens, Mr.. Gilbert
o. Carlton, after short but severe
illness of only week. The disease
was said to be typhoid fever. The
funeral took place on Thursday, and
in consequence of the severe illness OF
his wife and daughter at the time, no
funeral sermon was preached, but the
burial services were conducted by the
Masonic fraternity, of which the de-
ceased was member. A large num-
Der of the his Masonic brethren were
in attendance, and participated in the
solemn and impressive ceremonies
connected with the burial of their
dead. A procession of neighbors and
friends nearly mile in length, fol-
lowed the remains to their last resting
place, thus attesting the respect and
esteem with which Mr.. C. was held in
this community, for he was ever a
good neighbor and kind friend. and
his loss will be severely felt by us all.
His age was 45 years.
On Saturday morning, August 3lst,
occurred the death of Miss Helen
Price, eldest daughter of James and
Saran Price, after a lingering illness
of about ten months, and before she
had reached her eighteenth birthday.
During all those long and weary
months, while her physical system
was gradually wasting away, and
when pain and suffering were heI
constant attendants, she was an ex-
ample of patience and cheerfulness
rarely witnessed in one SO young. The
tendercst sympathies of the commu.
nifty have been exercised in her behalf
during her long sickness and wher
hope vanished and the poor tired
spirit gladly went Home, and the onct
fair and blooming form covered will
beautiful flowers by the hands of af
lection, was laid away to its final re
pose, mingled feeling of joy ani
sorrow pervaded the vast audience
who had assembled to pay the las
tribute of tears and farewell to on,
whose early departure they so deepl,
Ideplore. The funeral discourse wa
preached by Rev. o. Blake, at tn
Union Church, ON Sunday, from tn
words of Paul, "For me to die,is gain.
/ Thus they go down the valley, th.
dark, death valley, and we see thei
faces, nevermore."

Our station is as busy as swarm
ing beehive. To-day the gravel train
hands are filling up the cellar hole of
the old station-house and the Compa-
ny's carpenters are busily at work
framing large, new and commodi-
GUS building upon the old site. for the
better accommodation of passengers
and freight. This is very desirable
Improvement and will greatly add to
the respectability and business facili-
ties of the place. 1t will probably
take several weeks before all the con-
templated improvements are compile
ted and when finished will be cred
it to the c. g P. r. r. who have one
of the best equipped, best paying and
best managed roads in the country.
We wish the old station agent joy in
| his new charge, and feel sure the lady
telegraph operators will be delighted
with their new quarters. All that
prevents the station from receiving a
complete sandpapering and varnish-
ing is the dirty old front belonging
to the Atwater Pottery Company.
Greeleyism is gradually increasing
without favoring of falsehood. Last
week we held our first meeting, but
the GRANTEES got up an opposition
meeting thinking to draw the people
after the spolls of Office. But it was
no go. We had by far the largest
turnout. Hr. Hick and Mr.. Case ad-
dressed the Liberals, and the celebra.
ted granny Horton, of Ravenna, did
the talking for the corruptionists, and
got off several of the time-worn plat
itudes and q number of false charges
: on Mr.. Greeley as usual. Mr.. Hicl
: would like no better fun than to NEE
, this gentleman in free discussion O
: of the issues of this campaign. Won
: der if the Attorney will dare to try
