THE OTHER SIDE.-We notice that our
Democratic contemporaries are weekly pub
fishing accounts of defaulting Republican
officials throughout the country, but are
dumb on Democratic defaulters. During
the past four months, in six counties in the
State of Ohio there are no less than six
Democratic defanlters, as follows, viz. -
Butler county, $150,000; Henry county.
100000; Fairfield county, $780, 900: Drake
county, $4,000; Holmes county, $50, 900;
Wayne county, $4,000. How does this
look for honesty?

SeCh COUNTY, Nlu., Iakcu from his Will,
recorded 1879, in our office. Names-wife
Abigail. Children-Hezekiah, Amos, John
McKnitt, Josiah, Ezekial, Jemima Sharpe,
Elizabeth, Abigail and Margaret, and grand
son George. To his son Ezekiel he willed
lands on Long Greek, Mecklenberg county,
North Carolina.
The correspondence of names identifies
James Alexander, of Munster, as the father
of John McKnitt Alexander, the Secretary
of the Mecklenberg Convention, and of
Hezekiah Alexander, one of the delegates
and signers. The proof in other cases is
of the same kind. We have room only for
that of VIM. Sharpe. The will of Thomas
Sharpe (son of Thomas) of Cecil county,
recorded 1876, names five sons and three
daughters in North Carolina. The sons
were William, John, James, Joseph and
Samuel. The first of these was no doubt
Major VIM. Sharpe, of the Mecklenberg
volunteers, who pursued and captured the
baggage of Lord CORVALLIS in his retreat
from Charlotte, in 1850. Those from Cecil
county who participated in Revolutionary
movements in North Carolina, mostly lived
in our county until Of adult age, and some
of them until they were married.
James Alexander. of Munster, died in
1879. Two of his soDs, Theophilus and
Amos, brothers of John McKnitt, were
well known and efficient elders in the Rock
Presbyterian Church. They died in 1868
and 1880, respectively. Theophilus died
before his father James, and is therefore,
not named in his will. A son of Theophi-
lus, the Rev. Joseph Alexander, D. D., a
man of fine scholarship and talents, mar
ried daughter of President Davies, of
Princeton College, and exercised his minis
try partly in North Carolina, but mostly in

Talk of standing on "slippery places. {"

"The City Council of Altoona recently
passed a resolution, in accordance with a
recommendation from the Mayor "pre-

hogs, should be deprived of the privilege
of running at large" any more than
other folks.

KIND WORDS.

The Associated Reformed Presbyterian says
For years Perry Davis Pan-Killer has been
known as a most useful family medicine. For
pains and achet we know nothing so good as
the Pain-Killer. For many internal diseases 1t
Is equally good. We speak from experience,
and testify to what we know. No family ought
20 be without bottle of Davis Pain-Killer.
MEssRs. PERRY DAVIS, e. Son, Prov, r. I.,-
Gents Although a stranger to you / am
not TO your invaluable medicine, Pain-Killer.
formed its acquaintance in 1874 and am on
most intimate terms with It still my exper-
ience In its use confirms my belief that there Is
no medicine equal to Pan-Killer for the quick
and sure cure of Summer Complaints, Sore
Throat, Group, Bruises and cuts. have used
it in all and found a speedy cure in every case.
Yours Truly, I. j. G GARDINER, M. ID.
Judging by our own experience whoever once
makes a trial of PeUy Davis Pain-Killer, will
not fail to recommend it widely as an unequal
led liniment, and valuable internal remedy for
colds and various other ompaints.-EVery
Month.
The efficacy of Perry Davis world-renowned
Pain-Killer in all diseases of the bowels, even
in that terrible scourge, the Asiatic cholera,
has been amply attested by the most convinc
ing authority. Missionaries in China and
India have written home in commentator of
this remedy in terms that should carry convic-
tion to the most skeptcal, while its popu-
larity in communities nearer home is ample
proof that the virtues claimed for it are and
tangible. Among family medicines it stands
unrivaed. d.-BostoB Courier.
The Saturday EVen'g GGzctte of Boston says;
1t is impossible to find a place on this broad
land where Perry Davis Pain-Killer is not
known as q most valuable remedy for physical
pain. In the country, les from physician or
apothecary, the Pain-Killer is cherished as the
exclusive panacea, and it never deceives.
"Perrv Davis Pain-Killer is really val
liable medcament, and, unlike most of the ar
ticles of the day; is used by many physicians.
1t is particularly desirable in locations where
physicians are not near and by keeping 1t at
hand, families will often save the necessity of
sending out at midnight for doctor. A bottle
should be kept in every house" e."-Boston TraV-
eller.
"We have tested the Pan-Killer, and as
sure our readers that it not only possesses all
the virtues claimed for it, but in many instan-
ces surpasses any other remedy we have ever
known, ,"-Herald Of Gospel Liberty.

of the woman in question is the bona fde

And thus the matter stands. The woman
charged with alleged vending of spirituous
liquors is still in bed with the revolver
under her pillow. The infant still lives
and the entire family is doing as well as
could be expected under the circumstances.
Up to late hour last night the officers
were asking each other what they would
do about the matter, while hard cider was
still being dispensed on the premises to
thirsty individuals.

A Mixed Case.-The Altoona Tribune of
the 7th inst, says: Yesterday morning
information was preferred against female
resident of Whisky Row, who is charged
with selling liquor without license, selling
to minors, and selling on the Lords day.
The police were instructed to proceed at
once to her residence and affect her arrest
ON the charges named in the information.
Now, be it known, that ON the day previous
TO the information the female who is charg-
ed with violating the local option law was
seen in the streets arrayed in purple and
.Rne linen, while her every action betokened
that she was as lively as a cricket, yet on
he occasion of the visit Of the policemen
% her retreat for young men, the officers
'ound her in bed in an upper room with a
pew born babe at her side and loaded six
Ihooter under her pillow. Learning that
he was to be arrested on the charges as
previously stated, she had procured the
hooting-iron as weapon Of defense, and
wore yehemently in the hearing Of the
Ulcers that she would not hesitate to use
If they attempted TO escort her into the
resence Of Mayor Kinch.
But about that little soul which was so
ecently usbered into the world the officers
be in a quandary. If the viOlator Of the
peal option law is the maternal relative of
pe babe as shO alleges she is, the police
en would not deign TO escort her into
70 presence Of Mayor Kipch at this par
pular juncture, yet they asseverate, and
