The Blind Doctor.

DR.. j. II. Jones, more commonly
known as the "Blind Doctor" will Wis
it Millersburg on the first day of June,
for one day only, to treat chronic dis
eases of all kinds. The Doctor has
been blind about five years, but has
continued the practice OF his profession
with very great success. He came to
Wooster on his first visit with but few
patients, but he now is obliged to spend
three days there, and treats about four
hundred persons. He has been very
successful in curing many chronic cases
of long standing. Remember that he
will be in Millersburg on the Is: of
June for that day only. He can be

The house of Joseph Collier, situated
about two miles north of town, was
burned down on Saturday. We did moi
learn how the fire originated. Nearly
all his household goods were burned.
He had insurance, we believe, but do
not know how much. There were $50
in money in the house, which was
burned up with the rest. The idea OF
keeping money lying scattered here
and there through the country among
the farmers in such quantities especial
ly is not a good one. Let it be put in
the banks for safe keepingif you do not
wish to use it Yourself.

Fire In Hayesyille.

On Thursday night last, about 10
O'Clock, n fire broke out in J. S. Blacks
Drug Store, which resulted in the de-
struction of the entire store, the Dry
Goods Store of Swartz & Harvey, ad-
joining, and two or three dwelling hous-
es. About half past nine, Mr.. Black
the proprietor, and j. c. Mcdowell OF
Millersburg, who was employed as clerk
in the store, left the building apparently
safe and secure. At ten the alarm was
given, but before anything except the
safe and two showcases, could be gotten
out, the whole building was in flames.
The fire spread so rapidly that the store
room of Swartz & Harvey took fire and
was consumed before much of the goods
could be secured. The Post-office which
was in the back end of the room, was all
saved. Blacks loss above his insurance
amounts to four or five thousand dollars.
The Drug Store, we remember to have
been one of the neatest in this part Of
the State. Swarts s. Harvey carried a
large and well selected stock. Their
loss will probably reach ten or twelve
thousand dollars. The house and store
room Of w. Scott also caught, but by
great eXertion was saved. The dwell
ings burned were small and compare
lively old.

Death Of Mr.. Gaskiil.

Another good citizen is gone. Mr..
Morgan Gaskill died Sunday evening at
about z O'Clock. He had been sick the
most of the winter, but not dangerous
ly ill. Some weeks ago he took down
with Biliousfever, land had pretty hard
turn of it. DIR. Ross attended on him,
and succeeded in getting him up again.
He went to his brick-yard and worked
before he was able, and relapse was
the consequence. The fever then took a
typhoid tendency, and reduced him so
low that he died of prostration. His
remains were taken on Monday morn
ing TO Warren, O., where he had form
erly lived. He was 4 good citizen and
highly respected by all.

A Dangerous Practice.

Some Of the boys about town have
been in the habit of putting poison into
bolona sausage, and throwing it into
peoples yards for the purpose of pois-
oning their dogs. This might result in
something very serious. Children run
ming about the yard, might find this
bolona, and eat it before their parents
would know it, and die perhaps from
the effects, before relief could be given.
We hope this warning will be sufficient
to deter any boy or young man from
thus endangering the lives of others.

Interesting to Drinkers.

The internal revenue reports show
that in Cincinnati $4,000 barrels Of sa-
loon washings, valued at two dollars
per barrel, are redistilled annually,
yielding an average Of two and half
gallons per barrel of spirits recovered
therefrom. The washings consist of
slops that accumulate in the drinking
saloons. The slops that accumulate in
the higher class of saloons command a
better price, owing to the fact that gen.
tlemen are not expected to drain their
glasses. Psychological Journal.

Poor Practice.

Merchants and others should be more
careful to not throw loose pieces of pa
per out into the streets for the wind to
drift about at pleasure. Perhaps there
is no means so well calculated to fright
ell horses as loose piece of paper flying
before the wind. Besides, it renders the
appearance of the streets slovenly and
unattractive.

JONES WILL NOT WITHDRAW.

From the s. F. Chronicle Of yesterday
The Virginia Enterprise contains a
letter from Jones saying that 1.-THE ru.
NOR of his withdrawal from the Sena-
torlal contest In Nevada, is without
foundation" We never supposed he
would withdraw. lie may be driven
involuntarily from the contest. Jones
Is the candidate Of Sharon, Stanford
and Ralston Of the bank, the railroad
and the Ring. He will withdraw when
1t Is found that the people are stronger
than the moneyed combinations, and
not till then. Poor old Nye is the cat
to pull the chestnuts out Of the fire.
Jones says: II will fight to the end,
however bitter that end may be-no pres
sure, however great, can make me forget
the generous support Of my friends, or
cause me to retreat In tho face of our
common enemy" This is simply bosh
and nonsense and very common drivel.
The game Is put up tor Jones the OPP
position to him. except from the peo-
pie, will turn out to be a sham-sound
and fury, Simplifying nothing.
