tic presence into our ssnctum at an early

arranging for talk on the 10th inst, when
he proposes to elacidate his theory and en-
tighten mankind from his standpoint. In
making the announcement no desired US to
throw the pressure upon his muscular shOul-
ders which were able to bear the weight. We
do, and mildly suggest that in the coming
harvest he bare those shoulders, and swing
those giant arms of his in the grain fields Of
Wyandot. Go to work, J. N.
Although opposed TO the salary grab in to-
to, we are nevertheless profoundly in favor Of
paying congressman all the back-pay legiti-
mately due them. For the same excellent
reason " are in favor Of our subscribers liq-
uidAting the back-psy due rs. We have
some accounts which run away back 'time
cut Of mind, !" we should think, at least the in
dlviduals never think to pay up. We are
sending our collector after those fellows, and
If they don't pay up, Of goes their names
from our subscription list, even rs We would
advise every honest Republican to scratch"
any Congressman who took the salary sWsg.

A merchant at Arcadia named Wickard, d
was beaten nearly to death by one VIM. Nc t
Conneu Mcconnell had for sometime sus- b
pected his wife's fidelity. On the 22d she q
wanted to 60 to Fostoria to do some shopping. b
Wickard, Mcconnell learned, went on the v
same train to Fremont. In the afternoon Q
McC., went to Fostoria but did not find his s
wife. When the evening train returned he P
saw the two prodigais together, but waited t

If any of our farmers are using the patent
lide and spring gate, they may expect to be d
-isited by an agent, who will try TO collect G.
oyaIty on some part Of the gate claimed to be q
n infringement on some other patent. Don't IL
Low him to ado you" cut Of any money un- tt
ess he can produce indubitable proof that he d
duly authorized to collect, and that the U. Il
. Court has decided that the part upon which b,
10 asks royalty is really an infringement tc
those fellows usually go upon the principle fa
hat ''farmers scare easy" and try every dodge a
o sWindle them. An agent OF that character
ias been "dOing" the farmers of Hancock "
Jounty, but we see there is chance that the al
Irand Jury of that county viii give the agent "
hearing. Let farmers stand together for 0
heir rights, and the country will not long be Al
roubled with such cusses. Ia
