THE Court of Lea ZaZionis, one not
often resorted to in our city, had a case
yesterday forenoon, which only continued
a few minutes, and but for the fact of its
publicity we should not notice it. The
facts as we gather them, are these: Report
says that Mi. George E. Baldwin, of our
city, some two weeks ago, in the day time,
entered the residence of his neighbor
Mcclure, in the absence of the pa
rents, and attempted improper liberties
with the daughter, a young lady of some
IL years. 1t Is due to Mr.. B. to say that
he denies the tale as usually told. For a
week or two it has been a matter of public
notoriety and was understood suit would
be brought, and We learn in view of that
Mr.. Baldwin had retained several eminent
counsel.
On Yesterday, however, the affair cul-
minated in an appeal to the court named
above. Mrs. Mcclure, who only returned
home day or two ago, providing herself
with a coWhide and attended by her hus-
band, entered Mr. Baldwin's Office and
assaulted that gentleman with vlgor. The
cowhiding, it would seem, lasted but 6
few minutes and no serious damage was
done, though aofew marks were made.
Two gentlemen in the drug store below
hearing the noise, fastened up and after
entering, Mr.. and Mrs. Mcclure quietly
left, We care not to give further partic-
nlars, as we much regret the whole mat
ter. The parties are people of standing
and position IN u community, living
neighbours on Poplar street, and have, un-
til this unfortunate attain, been quite soci-
able. a ca .-s 80

King OF the Blood.

For Dyspepsia and Neuralgia. Case
For four years past 1 have had the Dys-
pepsia very bad, vomiting up my food
nearly every meal, with much pain and
distress in my stomach, and could get
very little sleep nights. I also had dis
tressing attacks of Sick Headache two OF
three times a week, which at the time
made it impossible for me to attend to my
business. 1 was induced to try your
King of the Blood. The pain and dis
tress in my stomach were entirely relieY-
ed, vomiting ceased, have had no attack
of headache since l commenced taking
the medicine, and I sleep well nights, my
bowels are now regular, having been Co.'S
tive before. I have now taken two bot
ties, and my health appears to be fully
restored. 1 desire to add that my wife
was much trobled with Salt Rheum,
which the King of the Blood has entirely
cured. BENJAMIN G. THOMPSON.

Rovine RasOals Ruralirinc.

The necessity of reading a live newspa-
per is nowhere more forcibly illustrated
than in the rural districts, which are
swarming with swindlers in quest of vic
tins. The well informed farmer who care
fully reads the current news of the day, is
thoroughly guarded against imposition,
and with him they fail TO accomplish their
designs. Not so with the ignorant farmer
who scorns to read a newspaper to enligh-
ten his mind and acquaint himself with
the occurrences happening throughout the
State. The victims of the swlndlers are
persons who scarcely know hat rascalities
are daily perpetrated in the country dis
tricts till they learn by personal experience
that such is the case. Among the latest
lodges resorted to Tor the purpose of ex-
tortlng money from farmers is the library
scheme. The worse than Colorado bugs
manifest a desire to establish township
libraries, and selecting some wealthy far
mer they ask him to assume the superyi-
sion of it. Should he comply with their
request they call on him to endorse the
back Of q piece of paper, stating as a rea-
son that it must go into the hands of the
county auditors. The next thing the far
mer knows, his name is attached to q note
promising to pay q certain sum to the swim
oilers, and in the hand of some innocent
party to whom they have sold or traded
the obligation.-CdTroU Chronicle,

The Wheeling & Lake Erie R. R.
Work was commenced on this road two
miles south of Zoar on the 9Th inst. The
Directors of this road are determined to
push it through, and when built it will be
one of the best roads in the country, and
will develop a country rich IN agricultu-
raj and mineral wealth. The road runs
from Sandusky City on Lake Erie
south through Orrville, Navarro, Zoar,
Bowerstown to Wheeling the southern
terminus of the road. Our readers are
aware that the river Is to be bridged at
Wheeling, that city having voted to take
three hundred thousand dollars worth of
stock. This will make a connection with
the Baltimore & Ohio r. r. The pre-
sumption is that our Valley Railway
will connect with the Wheeling & Lake
Erie road at or near Bowerstown and
from there both roads will have the same
track.
