PIONEER Mills was mentioned in yes
terday's Gazette that the Finance Committee
had acted upon the application of Jno. FL. Rus
SELL the purchaser Of the Pioneer Mills prop
erty, to release the annual ground rent issuing
thereout for the term of ten years on and after
the lst Of July, 1873. The committee thought
it best to effect this by means Of an agreement
under SEAL to which Jno. H. Russell isa party,
and in which he covenants and binds himself,
in consideration of the release Of the rent, to
put in operation and continue to operate the
mill as Touring mill to the extent of an aver
age of four hundred barrels OF flour day dur
ing the grinding season. The grinding season,
it is understood, shall embrace eight months of
the year. The conversion of the property to
any other use or purpose than Touring mill
vitiates the release of the rent. Mr.. Russell
covenants fully to perform, in good faith, the
above conditions as we'll as the covenants and
stipulauons set out in the lease by the Com
mon Council of Alexandria to w. Ell. and G.
D. Fowle, which are the leases assigned to
Mr. Russell

A BOY SUICIDE.
A wOodsfield, Ohio. Boy Of Fifteen
Hangs Himself


From the Woodsfield Spirit
Our citizens were considerably star
tied, on Sunday morning last by the
intelligence that Seley Okey, youth of
fifteen or sixteen years OF age, son Of
Mr.. Woodman Okey, who resides one
half mile west OF town, had committed
suicide bv hanging himself in stable
near the house.
The boy had taken a rope used for
halter from one OF the stalls, ascended
to the loft, made il fast to one rafter
and then across to another where he
tied it securely. Before the moose was
made in the rope the end was certainly
not more than two feet from the floor
OF the loft. When discovered by his
little brother Alfred, his knees were
resting upon the floor, the body upright,
and life extinct
DR.. Dillon was Immediately sent for,
and, assisted by Dr.. Walton, did every.
thing in their power to restore the vital
spark, but in vain. The body was re
moved to the house and again efforts
were made to restore life with no better
success.
