Sentenced for Is Years.

Daniel Miller, just sent to the peDi-
tentiary from this county for Is years,
has been a resident''of Canton for some
l2or IA years, removing from Carroll
county. His career has been somewhat
chequered, having been in our Jail sew
eral times. The first time in February,
1865, was for assault and in March of
the same year he was in, charged with
burglary, breaking into Saxton's mill
and stealing flour. He got out on bail
and the jury on the trial failed to agree
and the case was nolled. In November,
1868, he was again in Jail for assault and
battery. In July, 1869, he was again in
for assault and breach of the peace. In
1868, shortly after his arrest for bur-
glary and stealing flour, Mr.. Gansaman
the miller, who had been the chief wit
ness against him in the burglary case,
was fired at in his own house one eve-
ming, the bullet passing through the
window near his head and striking a
bureau. For this Miller was arrested,
but the proof not proving sufficient to
hold him he was discharged. We are
informed that he was i'm Millersburg
last year begging money for the Wis
consin sufferers. While there he and
another were arrested on suspicion OF
stealing a horse in the neighborhood
but were soon discharged as no proof at
all could be ebrought.-Cdnton Democrat.

Evils of. Gossip.

/ have known 4 country society
which withered away all to nothing un-
der the dry rot of gossip only. Friend
ships once as firm as granite dissolved
to jelly, and then ran away to water,
only because Of this; love that prom
ised future as enduring as heaven,
and as stable as youth, evaporated into
a morning mist that turned to day s
long tears, only because of this. A fa-
ther and a son were set foot to foot with
the fiery breath of anger that would
never cool again between them, only
because of this; and a husband and a
young wife, each straining at the hated
leash, which in the beginning had been
the golden bondage of God blessed
love, sat mournfully by the side of the
grave where all their love and joy lay
buried, and only because of this. have
seen faith transformed to mean doubt,
hope give place to grim despair, and
charity take on itself the features OF
malevolence, all because of the fell
words of scandal, and the magic NUT
terings of gossip.
Great crimes work great wrongs, and
the deeper tragedies of life spring from
its larger passions; but woeful and
most melancholy are the uncatalogued
tragedies that issue from gossip and de-
traction; most mournful the shipwreck
often made of noble natures and lovely
lives by the bitter winds and dead salt
waters of SANDER. So easy to say, yet
so hard to dispose-throwing on the in
nocent, and Furnishing them as guilty if
unable to pluck out the stings they nev-
er see, and to silence words they never
hear. Gossip and slander are the dead
liest and cruellest weapons man has fol
his brothers hurt.-AH the Year Round

Oil Sellers, Beware!

1t is not generally known that the
Ohio Legislature at its last session
passed a law, regulating the sale OF
mineral oils and other substances, for
Illuminating purposes, which in its
penalties and provisions is very severe.
1t requires every dealer to test the oils
before offering them for sale, and pro-
hIbits the sale of any oil or illuminating
substance which will ignite at any tenn
perature below ITO degrees Fahrenheit.
Penalty, one hundred dollars, or i'm
prisonment, or both. The manufactur-
er, refiner, or wholesale dealer is liable
to fine Of thousand dollars and i'm
prisonment for twenty days, who vio-
lated the provisions of the act. The
seller is liable for any damage, or in
jury to person or property resulting
from the sale of oils in violation of the
act. 1t is good law, and its provision
should be enforced.

ExcerciSe.

Because the clouds frown, the winds
blow, and the roads are bad, do not give
up accustomed exercise out of doors
agreeable and attractive as the house
may be. Frequent exercise in the open
air is essential to health. Children
usually get plenty Of exercise in going
to and from school; and those who
travel farthest are more likely to be ro-
bust and hardy than those who go only
short distances. A persistent habit OF
going forth in all weather, properly
clad, will arm us against the influences
of the atmospheric changes which are
so constantly taking place.

An Important Ruling.

The Postmaster General has recently
ruled that "If separate families or sep
arate firms occupy the same box ol
drawer at the Postoffice, each such fam
lily or firm must pay the full rate of rent
for the privilege"
While such a ruling is obviously just
in the absence of orders from the De-
partment it has not hitherto been en-.
forced here. The Postmaster found
many boxes jointly occupied and did
not feel inclined to disturb what ap-
peared to be 4 settled custom.
1t will now become his duty to carry
out the instructions of the department.
This will not be done, however, with
out due notice, but meanwhile those
who are interested will do well to Sc
cure box or drawer before they are
all taken up under the new ruling.
The salary of this Office is established,
this change has nothing to do with it.
Those who may suppose that this is a
move of the Postmaster here for selfish
purposes, will be simply mistaken.

Prayer.

Prayer is the language of the heart !;
spontaneous out-pouring of feelings
occasioned by different circumstances.
When we have been the recipients of
rich blessings and favors, and fully feel
the mercy and loye of God toward us,
then there arises prayer of thanksgiv-
ing and praise. When sorrow and de-
spair come over us, and our hearts are
smitten and withered like grass" then
we cry with the psalmist, "Have mercy
upon me, o Lord, for am weak" To
utter carelessly, at times, a stated form
of words, is not the hearts prayer, nor
does God hear it. No, he hears rather
the pleading cry that arises, even in the
hours of business, from the care
thronged, wearied one. Then when we
pray, let us pray ont of the depths of
our hearts, for only the sincere, fervent
prayer reaches the throne of God.

On Tuesday Of last week, Mr.. Robert
T. Thome, of Holmes county, while in
the Hotel at Blachleyville, as is alleged,
was set upon and beaten in brutal
manner by Henry Swain and William
A. Lawrence, to which fact he filed his
affidavit before James L. Henry, Esq.
Wooster, who issued Il warrant for said
parties. Mr.. Thome was struck with 4
loaded whip in the face, near the right
eye, fracturing the cheek bone, and was
also struck on the left side of the head
with an iron poker, cutting the hair
and skin through to the skull, making
a wound three inches long, which was
afterward sewed up by DIR. McClain, at
Reedsburg. We know nothing of a
certainty, about the facts, only that
Thome must have hard head.-IVoOs-

What Papers to Take.

At the beginning Of a new year the reading
public are looking the field over for good fam
lily papers, and just here we wish to say a
word relative to the selection of such. Every
person, of course, has a right to select such a
journal as he or she may choose, but notwith-
standing that, every citizen is, in certain
sense, obligated to the support of his own
home newspaper, for the interest of the two are
closely allied. Beyond this We would COM
mend journal that is especially valuable as q
generally aid in business affairs, and as q pa
per to meet this end We do most heartily COM
mend the good old Old Farmer, published at
Cleveland, Ohio. The Farmer is particularly
noted for its practical character and authentic
teachings. All of its departments-agricult
raj, horticultural, mechanical and domestic
are closely looked after, and all questions of
interest pertaining to them frankly discussed.
We understand tkat, for the coming year, the
Farmer is to be enlarged and greatly improv-
ed, but the subscription price is to remain as
before, simply two dellors a year
