ARGos, IND, Sept. 1st, 1873.
MR.. MILLIKAN:
A man oy the name Of Reed, near
Knox. in Stark County, committed sui
eide one day last week by drowning
The act was undoubtedly premeditated, as
Mr.. r. arose in the night, selected and put
on some old clothes, laid package OF
money aside which he had about his per-
son, and then disappeared. His contin-
ued absence beginning to create some un-
easeness in the minds of his family, search
was instituted, his body found in a
lake somewhere in the vicinity.
A few farmers in this locality have
commenced their fall seeding, and many
Others are only awaiting little further
advance of the season. Early wheat SOW
ing as general rule has proved ne most
successful in this part of the country, a
luxurlant fall growth forming protection
against the winter froSts.
Matrimonial alliance seem to be the or
der of the day. Two weddings came off
at Walnut, on Wednesday evening of last
week.

elders. Mr.. Eliza Pearman to Miss Ro-
mania elders, Rev. Mr. officiating.

Berner, Mr.. Thos. Parish to Miss Rebec-
ca Felts.

that ere long a number of others in this
vicinity will follow suit" So mote II

| Mr.. Harvey Atkinson of the firm OF
Parker q Atkinson has just returned
from Chicago. where he has been pur-
chasing large stock of goods for the fall
trade. The citizens of Argos and vicinity
may expect in few days, to find the com
mOdious store rooms occupied by these
gentlemen well filled with choice selec-
iion of goods, which they propose TO sell
cheap for cash, or exchange for country
produce This enterprising firm have al
| so established branch store at Walnut
under the supervision of Samuel Body
where goods can be purchased at lower
rates than nave ever been offered in tha
place.

1T looks rather ir-religious to see an
old man fill up grave on warDi day, and
to be forced to do so in hurry while an
audience waits on him. 1t matters not if
he is paid. A helping hand OF little
more would not be amiss.

FRENCH REPORT ON ABsrNrHE. "A French
Commission, consisting Of experts, has just
made report, reviewing all the methods EN-.
plovcd in the manufacture Of absinthe, and the
great loss of life entailcd by its use in France.
they recommend that this article be included in
list Of poisons, and that its sale be interdicted,
excepting on prescription Of . physician. They
think it's sale should be visited with heavy PEN
alties, and that every effort ought to be made
to break up the indulgence in an article pos
sessing such poisonous properties. It is not
the absinthe alone that proves 20 dangerous,
but the inordinate consumption of alcohol that
accompanies it. Some who are addicted to i
have been known to take thirty glnsses of ab-
sinthe every day, the greater part of which is
absolute alcohol.

An EvESTFUL LrrE.--William Byrnes,
more Familiarity known as Captain Byrnes,
well-known California pioneer. was recently
committed to the Insane Asylum at Stockton
Byrnes has led an eventful life. When twenty
one years Of age, he associated himself with
Robert Carson, brother Of Kit Carson, Jim
Beckwith, Jim Lansing, and other well-known
border characters, and engaged in the business
of killing Apaches in Mexico, and found it .
remunerative employment, as the Mexican
Government offered premium Of $50 fur every
Apache scalp When the Mexican war broke
out, he joined Colonel Prices regiment and
served until the end Of the war. Soon after
the discovery Of gold in California he went to
that State in company with Pegleg Smith. and
for some time was engaged in mining at Hang
town; and during the Indian troubles in that
section. Byrnes. with q company of which he
was Captain, done effective service in clean
iug out the Indians. Ia 1853, Joaquin Muri-
etta's band had become 90 troublesome that the
Legislature of California authorized the organ
ization OF company Of twenty men under
Captain Harry Love to break Up the gang and
hunt down the members Of the band. This
company, of which Byrncs was . member,
after three months pursuit, encountered
Joaquiu's band on the Tulare Plains and des-
perate fight ensued, 10 which "Three-ingered
Jack" and several Others were killed, and
nineteen Of the robber band taken prisoners.
Byrnes and Joaquin. during the fight, were
within thirty feet Of each other, each shooting
at the other, and one Of Byrne's shots struck
the notorious bandit, who fell dead from his
saddle. Byrnes cat off his head, and it was
afterwards exhibited in San Francisco. Dur
ING his eventful career, Captain Byrnes was
wounded thirty.one times, three Of which were
near the heart and one in the head. He was
born in Maine, but when child his father en-
igrated to Missouri and he was raised In that
State. 4-l a~+

careful perusal of this call to all miners in
the country The time aud circumstance
are suspicious, and rs the initiatory steps
have been taken by re preventative men the
movement can hardly prove failure. We
need only call the attention Of oHr readers
in the mining districts to the specific Oh
jects sought to be accomplished
|. Consolidation of the entire body Of
miners Of the United States, for the purpose
of self-protection.
2 To afford pecuniary and moral support
to such districts as may be forced to the alter
native Of strike.

ances, and the passage of such laws, as our
safety and welfare demand in the several
States
Keeping these objects i'll view, and ouI
own convictions Of the great need of a Mi,
ners National Organization, we would ear.
nestly advise the Presidents of several Mi
ners Lodges, whether they work in coal OIL
metal, to make a speciality of bringing the
matter before their various associations, AND
urging them to be represented in the Con
vention. Persons desiring information il
regard to the matter will receive it by
writing to John James, Bradwood, vii
