WHISKY.

The Fayette County Herald Of last week
gave a full account of another death
caused by whisky. jerome Koontz, aged
% years, came to Washington and got
drunk. Deputy Marshal H. E. Lydy told
him to get on his horse and go home, or
he would have him in Jail. Koontz with
some difficulty got on his horse and start
cd, cursing the officer. Marshal Lydy
threw stones at him. When he reached
a creek he could not get his horse to
cross, and he turned back A crowd
commenced throwing stones at him, and
Q colored man named Robert Bass threw
base ball club at him, which struck him
on the head, smashing his skull He fell
from his horse on the railroad track, and
never spoke again, and died in short
time. The Coroner held an inquest.
Bass was arrested and put in jail, and
Marshal Stewart and Deputy Marshal
Lydy were arrested and held to bail, and
the father of the murdered man is trying
to find who sold him the liquor which
caused his death. Koontz was from Gal
liza county, and belonged to one of the
oldest and most respectable families OF
that county.

RANDOM THOUGHTS.
BY THE EDITOR.


Those of my readers who have been
raised in towns and cities, cannot appre-
ciate what have to say about the glories
of the deep forests. When / was a boy
spent all my spare moments in the woods,
and even most of my work on the farm
was performed very near to deep woods,
where the songs of the birds could be
heard from earliest dawn until the dusk
of the evening. 1 became familiar with
the songs of many kinds of birds then.
heard some of the same songs in my re-
cent excursions in the woods. One bird,
of the thrush family in particular,
heard with feelings of joyful sadness, as
had often listened to and admired its
song many years ago, in company with
those who, long ago, have gone to enjoy
"a nobler, sweeter song" than this earth
can afford.
The songs of birds are made for the
woods. They can be heard long dis
tance, and have peculiar musical ring
in the deep forest. When / approached
very near, the song appeared quite faint
and insipid heard species of mock
ing bird in the distance. It could imi-
tate the largest birds, even the cawing of
the crow. When got near the song lost
its melody, and the bird was little yell

Members of Congress now get $50 for
every day in actual service. At home an
average Congressman is worth from 50 to
$5 per day But John I. Wilson says
the country is rich and can afford it
Portsmouth, Times
John T. Wilson was sick last winter
when Congress met. No one blamed him
for that, as he had always been faith
full and attentive representative. But he
did not appear in Congress until in JAN
uary, and SO only remained two months
of that session. or about so working days.
For this he received seven thousand five
hundred dollars, or $50 per day. Three
hours per day was about all the time he
served the people, or in other words he
got fifty dollars per hour, besides the
franking privilege, constructive mileage,
and any amount of stationery, towels,
napkins scissors, &c.

Our title or heading is only a little
word, yet after receiving little clothing
it goes on its solicitous mission. God is
in small things. The sparrow falls not
unobserved; the lily of the field is clothed
with his beautifying power; the hairs of
our heads, the blades of grass, and the
very grains of sand are all numbered.
Development distends the small into
the great and wisdom sees the mighty
in the meager; the minute expands into
| the magnificent. The amount of good
| that may be derived from a germ, de-
pends somewhat on the degree of devel-
opment it receives. What could appear
more insignificant than the vibrations of
tea-kettle lid? Yet in that motion
trivial as it is, originated ocean steamers
prodicious manufacturing power, railroads
and mills The art of printing, which in
worth, probably exceeds all other discov-
cries, germinated from rude impressions
taken Ito amuse children,) from letters
carved on the bark of birch tree Gun
powder had its origin from the falling of
a spark on mixture of materials. Pen
dulum-clocks were invented by Galileo
who by observing church lamp swing
to and fro, was led to the invention. So
small word, action or even a look may
be the offspring of great good or evil.
The evidence that in weakness there is
Strength IN uCGIeneSS therc is greatness,
has now been sufficiently elucidated and
impressed on the mind; therefore we
proceed with our earnest exhortation.
Go where? Go to Sabbath School, which
is gilmore moment than we are won't to be-
lieve. 1t is sphere that demands all
our energies and deserves all it demands
We are addressing more particularly those
of mature age, the parents. Some of our
Sabbath Schools are well represented by
adults, and in such we find attraction,
instruction, and prosperity. He who
stays at home on the Lords day, secluded
from the world, from the institution
second only to the church, from the
future germ of the church, to pray and
read the Bible with the expectation of
obtaining richer reward, is deceived,
and doubly 80. He is putting his candle
under the bushel; he is not feeding his
lambs. The young need succor in build
ing the foundation of life. No matter
how good the walls and materials are, if
the foundation of character is wrongly
layed, the penalty will be sure to fol
low. When storms of temptation come,
on account of early training, our youth

A short time ago we received copy of
Woodruff q Claff1in's Weekly, in which
Mrs. Woodruff went into the particulars
of her terrible charges against Henry
Ward Beecher. Last week a strange
document was published. 1t appears
that Henry C. Bowen, of the Independent,
had made grave charges against BeecheD
and Theodore Tiltoh had repeated them.
Now these three men appear to have en-
tered into written agreement, in April
1872, to hush the whole matter up. If
Beecher really committed adultery with
the wife of Tilton, and twenty other wo-
men of his congregation, as Mrs. Wood
hull openly charges, the public have a
right to know it.

A sad affair occurred in Columbus last
week. A colered man named Van Brown
undertook to drain a privy vault. He
dug another vault near, and at night he
and a boy went to complete the job.
Brown dug with pick towards the old
vault, and the boy then handed him a
pole, which he thrust through. At once
the foul gas rushed through, prostrating
the man. The boy screamed, and young
man named Theodore Jasper came, jump
ed in, and was at once prostrated. In a
