ATHENS, Ono, May IA, '73.
EDS. HERALD.-The Phi Delta
Theta Society met in convention al
this place on the evening of the 18th,
at eight o'clock. Delegates num-
bering fifty-three were present from
the various States in the Union
This Order was established in ls4s,
at Oxford, Ohio, and now it has
grown to thirty-four chapters, and
has membership of over two thous.
and. 1t is national in character and
embraces graduates from all the col
leges in our land. Its object is the
advancement of literature and NOR
ais and the promotion of everything
that has tendency to elevate the
human race. The business of the
conv ention was finished this after

is anticipated, and the delegates will
leave for their homes on the morn

Athens is situated on the M. G. r.
R., one hundred and sixty. mine
miles from Cincinnati; is the second
oldest town in the State, and has a
population of only three thousand.
1t is the seat of the Ohio University,
which was established in 1904, and
is, and always has been one of the
best colleges in the State.
The season is farther advanced in
Ohio than in any State that / was
in. The trees are out in full bloom !;
the wheat and other small. grain is
looking well. 1t does a person good
to view these high hills and bluffs in
such state as they present now, at
ter being absent from them, and on
the prairies of Iowa for eight years.
Prospects are favorable for good
fruit crop this year in Ohio.
The Ohio people mourn the loss
of Salmon p. Chase, and talk of
his greatness in reverence, and think
his place cannot be filled in this day.

Delegate from Iowa.

A strike caused the closing of one OF
the mines for several days, and on

an explosion occurred, supposed to
have been caused by the accumula,

An appalling event took place near
the Glenwood depot on Sunday at
ternoon. Two,yoIths, about Is years
of age-one named Albert Cook, and
the other Mead Rogers-entered in
to an alteration upon a trifing sub.
jeet, when Rogers struck Cook, and
Cock returned the blow. Rogers
then threw in, with the full weight of
his body, violent blow under Cooks
left ear, which caused him to drop,
as if he had been shot, to rise no
more. Cold water was Immediately
thrown on his face and neck, and
friction, with other expedients, were
tried to revive him, but all to no
purpose. The blow had killed him.
He was promptly removed to the
residence of the deceased's father.
The Coroner, Squire Farrar, and his
jury, assembled soon after to exam,
inc into the particulars of the tragi-
cal event, and after taking the evil
dence, came to the folio wing con-
clusion: "We find that Albert
Cook was killed by two heavy blows
dealt by Mead Rogers"

flames, her clothes were entirely

arrived too late to do any good. In
her effort to quench the flames some
straw in the yard caught fire and

were destroyed, together with a
quantity of oats, corn. and other arti-

A young man in Davenport is in
trouble for robbing the mails. He
was a clerk in the Railroad Postal
department and of SO good a name
that nobody save himself could have
sullied it. His parents are old, of
high consideration, and never had a
stain upon their family name before.
The young man kept company with
fast young men and to have spending
money began abstracting it from let
tiers. The amount taken was not
large, but the inevitable penalty is
at least one year in the penitentiary.
The offender is the most penitent
boy the Gazette ever saw. He has
found, as every boy will find, that
there is no pleasure in fast life
that will compensate for the loss of
youths integrity and an honorable
manhood. - IL

Centaur Liniment.

There is no pain which the Centaur Liniment
not relieve, no swelling it will not subdue, and
no lameness which 4 it win not cure. This is strong
but it is true. Where the parts are net
gone, its effects are marvellous. 1t has produced
more cures of rheumatism, neura,gia, lock-]aw,
palsy, sprains, swelings, caked-breasts; scalds,
burns, salt-rheum, ear-ache, &C., upon the human
frame, and of strains, SPAWN, gals, &C., upon ami
mails in one year than have all other pretended rem
edies since the world began. 1t is a counter-irr1-
tant, an all-healing pain reliever. Cripples throw
away their clutches, the lame walk, poisinous bites
are rendered harmless and the wounded are healed
without a scar. 1t is no humbug. The recipe is
published around each bottle. 1t is selling as no
article ever before sold, and it sells because it does
JUS. what it pretenGs to do. Those who now suffer
from rheumatism, pain or swelling deserve to suf-
fer if they will not use Centaur Liniment. More
than 1000 certificates of remarkable cures, includ-
ing frozen limbs, chronie-rheumatism govt running
tumors, &C, have been received. We will send a
circular containing certificates, the recipe, &C.,
gratis, to any one requesting it. One bottle of the
yellow wrapper Centaur Liniment is worth one hun
dred dollars for spawned or sweenied horses and
mules, or for screw-worm in sheep, St~ock-owners
this liniment is worth your attention. No fami'
" should be without Centaur Liniment. ]. B
