In the village of Reading Hamilton
county, two drunken men, named John
rafferty, and Pat Cusiclz, got into a fight,
when Cusick beat Hafferty to death. Haf-
ferty's wife is Cusick's sister. In order
to show how drunken maniacs do up
these things, we copy the following from
the Cincinnati Gazette:
Coroner Maley was notified by parties
in reading about noon, of the murder.
He visited the scene in the afternoon,
and found the body lying on bed on
the floor The head was frightfully con-
fused, with the curly iron gray hair clot-
ted with blood, and gashes through the
scalp revealing the CHASTITY skull. The
face also was bruised and discolored.
Turning over the body, a pint or so of
blood gushed from the mouth upon the
pillow and upon the rag carpet covering
the floor The head lay set rigidly at an
angle from the shoulders indicating dis
location of the neck. Opening the cloth
ing he found the body and limbs discol-
ored with bruises as if caused by kicks
and stamping.

There are two houses in Austin's Ad-
dition, and some three or four old
houses, and the furnace store rooms,
shops, &c, making 103 houses in all.

railroad, % are the cheap furnace houses,

at Milton Furnace all butsthree on the
east and one on the west of the railroad,

had to smile at some of the Wells
tonians, who seem to think Jackson feels
jealous of the rapid progress of Wellston.
The progress of Wellston has been won
derful, but more buildings have gone up
in Jackson this year, than have in Wells
ton, and l can select six houses m Jack
son that have been put up during the
present year that are worth more money
than all the houses that have gone up in

Paul StiGIer's Ore Banks.

To the Editor of the Standard: -.
l. present to you some natural speci-
mems found in the ore, while opening the
bank on Paul Stiff1er's lands, bounded on
the east by the lands of Levi Howell, in
Liberty township. The ore in which the
acorns and hickory nuts are found, is
six feet under ground, viz: the soft earth
and slate make it six feet stripping, the
top part of 20 inch vein being ] must be-
long to the family of fossil ores, the other
being the red block. Furnacemen and
others can see for themselves that there
is no humbug, as the blocks of pieces of
ore in which the specimens were found
are to show for themselves. l hope to be
able to furnish to the different furnaces
in your place specimens as | may be able
to find them. 6. w. BAKER.
