Antiquity Of the scrtptures,

Few of Gus ever stop to think how old the Bible
IS. Yet ''the Scriptures are believed by candid
critics to contain the most ancient forms of truth
known to men," With the aid of chronologcI Al
lsons between the antiquity of the books and that
Of other writings and events. The scriptures con-
tain the only authentic history of the world before
the food. We find in the Pentateuch one or two
stanzas OF poetry composed in the ante-diluvian
period The Hebrew statutes were enacted a
thousand years before Justinian reformed the Ra-
man Jurisprudence. In the Bible we have the
record of chartered rights secured to the peo-
pie more than thousand years before the Magma
ChRrta.
What sensation would be produced if the first
chapter OF Genesis should appear for the frat time
in one OF cur newspapers tomorrow! Yet there
can be no doubt tAat chapters contains the oldest
writing, twenty-five hundred years before the in
vsntion of printing. Xenophons record of the
conversations Of Socrates. in his MemoI abilia,
seems an old book to u.s. yet similar topics are dis.
cussed III Ecclesiastes six hundred years before
The works OF Taeitus, Plutarch and Quintilan are
not modern, yet the books of the old Testament
gre older than they. ...
Az to the book Of Job, its age is beyond conject-
pFe. Those who make it as modern as they can
are compelled to place its origin at least one thou
send years before Homer. When Pram was
KING OF Troy, John was og remote antiquity. -
The name of Alexander had no modern sound to
US, yet when Alexander invaded Syria, the book
OF Job might have been read before him as the
work OF an author moro time-honoTed then than
the name of Alexander iS now.
The writiRgs OF Confaeius are modern compared
TO the most OF the Bible and the most that the
HlndOos can justly claim far their books, the Ye-
das, IS that they were written five hundred years
after the death OF Moses

How a Parent Plays indian and gets
the Worst of It,

A New Yorker is very much annoyed because
his two boys have read so many Indian
stories that they have gone wild with anxiety to
play Indian, to go out on the praires hunting for
the real noble red men. The man was taking a
nap after dinner in his easy chair, when he was
awakened by an alarming noise and strange
sensation in his head. He jumped up and sud
denly found that one of his boys, dressed in a red
table-cloth, and his face decorated with blue
paint, was trying to scalp his father with a cary
ingknife, while the other boy, attired in a blank
ct shawl and rooster feather fiourished hatchet
and emitted war-hoops from behind a thicket
composed of two chairs and card table The
man decided to put stop to this kind Of thing.
So next day while tho boys were playing with
bows and arrows iii the garden he dressed him
self in an Indian costume, and jumped over the
fence with wild, unearthly yell, for the purpose
of frightening those children. The oldest boy,
however, stood his ground and drawing an arrow
to the head, in which was inserted a tenpenny
nail he buried 1t in the chieftain's leg before he
took to flight. That night the father walked up
stairs ON q cruteh aud logged the family all
around before he sent them to bed tie is think
Ing now of some other way to effect q cure of
the sanguinary disposition OF his offspring

A DWELLING HOUSE SINKING INTO COAL MINE,
A MOTHER AND FOUR CHILDREN TMMUREp.
From the Cincinnati Commercial.

MOTHER AND FOUR CHILDREN INJURED
From the Cincinnati Commercial.
AT Bakers coal mine, near Cleveland Illinois,
the house OF miner named Robert SparEo stood
directly over an old chamber of the mine. On
Friday afternoon the Garth under the house sud
denly sunk, causing the dwelling 10 drop into the
cavity four or FIVE feet Mrs. SpargO and iOur
children were gathered about stove in one Of
the rooms. The floor. gave way and the stove
went into the cavity'belOw, and the mother and
her children were precipltated upon 1t and the
fire which had fallen out Of 1t. Several men
working not far diatant saw the house sink and
ran toward the place, but before they reached the
house the screams Of Mrs. Spargo and the child
rem and the smoke which was pouring out of the
house told them of the horrible situation. The
men rushed into the yard, took water from SONG
barrels, entered the house and succeeded in ex-
tnguishing the fire about the woman and her
little ones. But one child, girl in her fourth
year, was burned to death. Another, younger
than the deceased, was burned so that she died
next day. Mrs. Spargo and the other two child
ren were burned in a irightful manner, though at
last accounts all three were living. The clothes
OF all were burned their heads were signed, and
the fieSh on their taccs and bodies blistered. All
were taken to the house of neghboT, and every
thlng possible was done to alleviate their suffer
ings, but the saving amy of them was doubtful.

1mproYaments.

Notwithstanding the cry of "hard
times" and the positive scarcity OF
STAMPS" during this m Eaton
will add many new and pleasant
homes to her steadily increasing pop
ulation, and two or three very excel
lent and substantial business houses.
A walk around town will satisfy any
credulous person of this fact. Among
the most important. buildings for bus
mess that will be finished this season,
is a fourteen feet story brick, on West
Main Street, 20X36, front room %
feet deep-open free stone front and
galvanized iron cornice. This build
ing is being erected by j. IL. Zoos,
Esq, and we understand will be oc-
cupied as a Banking House by H. C..
Hiestand.
The work of changing the old bust
ness room of Van Ausdal s. Co., is
now finished, and that firm will re-
turn to it this week. 1t is rs neat.
pleasant and comfortable II room as
there is in Eaton, and the finish of it
is a credit to the workmen, especially
the mechanical construction of the
stairs running to the second story,
which are the most substantial and
solid we ever saw put up. They arc
the work OF Messrs Clayton 81 Mel
son.
w. III. KLINE, Esq, is erecting a
two story brick business house, on
east Main Street, 21X65. The oom
will be occupied as a Grocery when
finished. This building will add COIL
siderable to that locality. Some time
we may write up all the improve
ments of Eaton for the last six
months, but for the present these will
suffice to show that we arc not Oh n
decline.

themselves in behalf of the Fair and
aid the Board in making it the best
and most successful n eve held in
fine county. Let every tiller of the

mote the Preble County Fair of 1878.
