Three hundred and seventy-three young ladies
and feeble old women, discharged from the bureau
of engraving and printing under the recent reduc-
ton. (and the Treasury department officers say
this number was always an unnecessary surplus,
need never to have been appointed, and on adnis-
sion Of McCartee himself, superintendent of the
bureau received their places merely to satisfy the
demands Of Congressman who clamored for the
appointment of these girls McCartee was enabled
to pay them because he had sstisfed Secretarys
Boutwell, and Richardson that no estimate of the
appropriation to run his bureau could be gotten up
on account of the character of the work, therefore
Congress appropriated money in lump out of
which hundreds Of girls for reasons above stated
were Kept in Office, to be finally thrown ont when
the truth came to light. Hereafter, it is given cut
estimates for appropriations needed for this bu-

Details are coming to hand of a second flood in
Hampshire county, Mass, caused by the giving
way of the reservoir of the factory at the village of
Middlefeld- It covered about one hundred acres
and bad been built thirty years. The water swept
over farms, gardens and woods, and several houses
were moved some distance. The loss is large but
asyet there has been no estimate of the amount Of
damage done. There are no deaths reported, the
wires being down. Itis feared that there was con-
siderable loss of life at Blush Hollow, down the
valley

Tragedy at Toledo.-In the suburbs of
Toledo, on Sunday last, party of German
neighbors assembled near tine saloon kept by
Mrs. Eberly. There seems to have been a
kind of feud existing between four families,
Simmons and Miller on one side, and Koch
and Ackermann on the other. There had
been several difficulties between them which
had been eased of. Sunday they met at the
saloon, drank beer, and about 10 o'clock at
night started home. How the fight began is
only surmisable as the statements of both
parties are at great variance, but in the melee
a man named Michael Smith, who seems not
to have been participant in the quarrel, was
stabbed Just below the right knee, the main
artery cut, and he bled to death in few mo-
ments. John Simmons was stabbed in the
right side and is mortaIly wounded Old
man Simmons, John Koch and Gottleib Ack-
erman and the Miller boys are under arrest.
This is one of the Ioudest and strongest of
temperance lectures. but we fear it will 90
unheeded. Here are q party of neighbors
who should have been on friendly terms, or if
not quite friendly, who could have been
peaceable but that the demon drink had tax
| en- possession of them, and under its mad in
| fuence reason lost sway, a wild tumult and
an angry fight with the free use Of the knife
followed, and If justice gets its due, one OF
two of the prisoners will swing from the gal
lows. All the result of drinking. Young
man, do you desire such a fateP You may
| think you are safe, but it is an old and true
saying that "when liquors in, wit is out" and
however kindly you may feel toward your
companions, some day when the "Rit is OUT
you may do such a deed. Avoid drink as
you would poison.

Pioneer and Historical Society


The meeting of the Sandusky County Pio-
neer and Historical Society for the election Of
officers and for the transaction of other bus
iness will be held at Birchard Hall, at 10 A.
NJ, August Sd. All citizens who resided in
the county prior to 1880 may become mem
bers by signing the constitution, or authoriz-
ing it to be done. They are not required to
pay any membership fees or dues. an other
citizens may become members by paying one
dollar and signing the constitution.
The Executive Committee at their meeting
Saturday last resolved that it was not ezpedi-
ent for the society to get up celebration of
the Second Of August, distinct and sepa-
rate from that of the public generally, but
recommended that the members of the society
cordially unite with all other citizens in such
q celebration of that anniversary as the pub
lie may determine.
Partial reports Of the news Of the early set
tiers who are still living were made: In Ball
vile township eighteen pioneer settlers. who
resided in the county before 1880, still survive.
In Ssndusky township about fifty are still
living. It is doubtful if any settlers prior to
1880 are still 70 be found in Scott, Madison or
Woodvins, the other townships asked for fur
thar tins to report

The Hancock Rioters:

The attempt of the beer men Of
Findlay to enforce mob law, last
week, was a strong argument against
the traffic. When any business be-
comes hurtful to the community, it
should be controlled or suppressed,
and laws passed for that object
should be enforced no matter what
the consequences To individuals.
Individual rights must yield to the
rights Of the many or the object for
which societies and governments are
instituted becomes of none effect.
For the same reason minorities sub
nit to majorities. If the msjorities
in their zeal for the public welfare,
enact laws that bear unequally upon
q class, evil viii work its own cure
by eventually transforming the
minority into the majority. But if
the law only seems obear unequally,
because it interferes with the pur-
suits of any individual here and
there, violations of law, riots and OPP
position, are the worst sort Of weap-
ons to resort to: for if one man viii
not submit to one law, another will
be found to resist another law, and
SO anarchy be the result. If there
is any stamina in the authorities in
Hancock county, they should teach
those rioters z lesson they will not
soon forget-that laws rightfully en-
acted must be respected until as
rightfully repealed, or by valid au-
thority pronounced unconstitutional.
A neglect to do this viii be tamper-
ing with great wrong, and be the
doing Of an injustice to other COM
munities, for in all communities
such thOughiessness exists and is
encouraged by failure to subject Of
tenders to proper punishment. Han
cock county owes it to its own dig
nifty to punish there offenders, and
it owes it to its duty to other com
munities to bring them to justice.
Will it do its duty.
On Saturday last, as the authori-
ties did not take any action against
the rioters, q number of the citizens
6led afidavits against thirty Of the
lswlegs, among them Rev. Martin
Buerkle, Of the German Reformed
Church, who is charged with melting
the mob to release DeitE The end is
not yet

PRooFs that there is to be a revi-
val Of business this fall are not want
ing, and it may reasonably be cred
tied to the late Currency bill rather
than the Presidents Veto. Now we
have the Pittsburgh and Philadel-
phia papers giving the most Aatter-
ing reports in regard to the iron
trade, and predicting a very active
fall. The Pittsburgh Telegraph
says that a prominent af1cisl Of one
Of the principal railroads of that
State has received a letter from one
of the largest iron workers in the
East stating that more orders have
been received for iron in the last
ten days than all the six months
previous. The Telegraph adds that
similar reports come in from all
quarters. The Philadelphia papers
give equally encouraging reports of
the revival of the trade in that vi
cinity and predict unusual activity
in all branches of the iron industry
during the coming fall months.

A QUIET investigation of Tilton's
charges against Beecher has been
going on for two weeks past. Beech

not yet seen fit to call the prosecu-
ting witness. Is it possible he has
the eHrontery to expect verdict of
innocence on such ex-parte pro-
oeeding would clear him Of suspicion

refutation of the charges viii ever

held in the affections Of the people.

Thesouthern portion ofthe city took
fire on Tuesday afternoon about 4;SO
and by midnight nearly lOG acres OF
lond had been cleared of all struc-
lures thereon. The fire originated
in a small frame house near Fourth
avenue, and at sunset gale sprang
up which carried the FIRE for several
hours beyond all control of human
agencies, until it arrived at the lake
shore. There were quite number
Of casualties reported and it is sup
posed it will yet transpire that sew
eral lives have been sacrificed. At

- Fosron1A Repie,p Of last vel

The FosroRIA ReviesO Of last week
proposed Fostoria as the place Of
holding the Congressional Conven-
ton. 1t is rather too one-sided to
accommodate the district. Its rail
road connections are hardly so good
as those of Clyde or Monroeville,
though as the home Of our Repre-
sentative, there is probably no one
who would object to the honor be-
ing conferred upon it. Besides as
there is not likely to be any opposi-
tion to Mr.. Fosters denomination,
the delegates would as willingly go
there to signify their choice, as else
where.

Struck by Lightning.-During the
storm on Thursday evening, Patrick McCor-
mick, wife and family, residing about four
miles northeast of town, were sitting in their
house when fash of lightning struck the
chimney, dislodged it, shook the gable end of
the building, and caused considerable plaster
ing in the house to fall, but fortunately, be-
yond severe fright, the inmates of the house
did not suffer. The building was insured
against fire and lighting, hence the damage,
which will probably not exceed some $50, will
not fall upon Mr.. Mccormick.
