The Closing Year.

The following from the late GEORGE
D. PRENTICE is well calculated for tnis
our last issue in 1875:
soTis midnight's holy hour-and silence
now
Isbrooding, like gentle spirit, DER
The still and pulseless world Hark!
on the winds ..
The beII's deep notes are swelling. lis
the knell
of the departed Year.
No funeral train
Is sweeping past; yet on the stream
and wood,
With melancholy light, the moonbeam's
rest,
Like pale spotless shroud; the air is
stirred,
AS by mourner's sigh; and on yon
cloud,
That floats SO still and placidly through
heaven,
The spirits of the seasons seem to
stand
Young Spring, bright Summer, Au-
tum's solemn form,
And Winter with his aged locks-and
breathe
In moWnful cadences, that come abroad
Like the far wind-harp's wild and
touching wall,
A melancholy dirge DER the dead Year,
Gone from the earth forever"
4
"Remorseless Time!
Fierce spirit of the glass and scythe-
what power
Can stay him in his silent course, or
melt
His iron heart to pity? On, still on
He presses, and forever.
Revolutions sweep
Ger earth, like troubled visions O'er the
breast
Of dreaming sorrow; cities rise and
sink,
Like bubbles on the water; fiery isles
Spring blazing from the ocean, and go
back
To their mysterious caverns; mountains
rear
To heaven their bald and blackened
cliffs, and bow
Their tall heads to the plain; new En-
pires rise,
Gathering the strength of hoary centu-
ries,
And rush down like the Alpine ava
lanche,
Startling the nations; and the very
stars,
Yon bright and burning blazonry of
God,
Glitter awhile in their eternal depths,
And, like the Pleiad, loveliest of their
train,
Shoot from their glorious spheres and
pass away,
To darkle in the trackless void; yet
Time,
Time, the tomb-builder, holds his fierce
career,
Dark, stern, all pittiless, and pauses not
Amid the mighty wrecks that strew his
path,
To sit and muse, like other conquerOrs,
Upon the fearful ruin he has wrought"

Items from Addison.

Much rain; more mud; high wa

GEN. SHERMAN made a speech at
the annual dinner of the New Eng
land Society held in New York last
Thursday. Referring to the result of
the late war he said:
There never was such an example of
the cOnquerors giving the conquered the
same rights they themselves possessed.
The moment the vanquished laid down
their arms we said to them: "Go home,
go to work for the flag which is to be
the common one of our homes" | say
to every Southern man who will go with
us heart and hand, to build up this land,
they are welcome just as if born on the
very surface of Plymouth Rock. But if
they cherish any hopes for the old con-
flict storm will arise over their heads
ten times as heavy as the last one.

The news reached town this
Tuesday, morning that James
Hogue, Jr., had committed suicide by
shooting himself through the head
with revolver. No cause, except
slight business embarrassment, is as
signed for the deed. For two or
three days his family had noticed
signs of mental alteration and had
kept a watch over his movements.
Yesterday morning he went into the
kitchen unobserved, and placing a
revolver under his chin discharged
the contents, which came ont of the
top of his head, causing his death.
Mr.. H. was about so years of age,
had large family,a a man of correct

the most of his property were in
this county. He was formerly en-
gagged in the coal trade with Thomas
Dunn, during which time he became
embarrassed, and his inability
to recover therefrom was, perhaps,
the principal cause of this rash act.

w. c. Newton. first mate; p. R. Hart
wig, chief engineer, and Benz. Wood
worth, first mate of the Ohio No. 4,
were taken before Commissioner Hoop
er yesterday afternoon on an affidavit
sworn out by Henry Harris, rOustabout,
charging them and James Halliday, who
escaped by leaving the boat, with as
saulting and maltreating him. His sto-
ry, which he substantiates with badly
damaged head, is that when the boat
was above Ashland, day before yester-
day, Halliday, who is second engineer,
got into an alteration with him and
struck him on the head with an iron
bar. Thereupon Newton came to the
rescue, and duplicated the blow with
lump of coal.
The three men were released on ST.
600 bail each, to appear again for trial
next Thursday at p. M.

So nearly perfect are the recipes of
these wonderful pain-soOthing and heal
ing Centaur Liniments, that we can con-
fidently say they will alleviate any
pain arising from flesh, bone or muscle
arrangements. We do not pretend that
they will mend broken leg or extermin-
ate bOils, but even in such eases they
will reduce the Inflammation and stop
the pain. Nor can we guarantee the
proper results where the body is poi
sOned by whisky. Temperance is as
necessary to proper physical, as men,
tai condition.
THE WHITE CENTAUR LINIMENT is par
ticularly adapted to all cases of Rheuma-
tism, LumbagO, Neuralgia, Erysipelas,
Itch, Sprains, Chillblains, Cuts, Bruises,
Stings, POisons, Scalds, Sciatica, Weak
Back, Pains in the side, Wounds, Weep
ing Sinews, Burns, Frosted Feet, Palsy,
Ear-ache, TOOth-ache, Headache, Ul-
GERS, 'Old Sores, Broken Breasts, Sore
Nipples, Sore Throat, Group, Diptheria,
etc. The most of these complaints the
Centaur Liniment will cure; all of
them it will benefit. 1t will extract the
poison from bites and stings, and will
cure burns and scalds without scar.
The following is but ,ample of II
thousand similar testimonials:
"ANTIoCH, ILL, Dec. !, 1874.
"My wife has, for a long time, been a
terrible sufferer from Rheumatism. She
has tried many physicians and many
remedies. The only thing which has
given her relief is Centaur Liniment.
| am rejoiced to say this has cured
her
w. Fl. RING, Postmaster.
Itis an indisputable fact that the Cen
taur Liniments are performing cures
never before effected by any preparation
in existence,-like Chronic Rheumatism
of thirty years standing, Strengthening
fingers and joints which had been stiff
for six years, taking the soreness from
burns, &c.
One dollar, or even fifty cents, invest
ed in Centaur Liniment will be within
reach when an accident occurs, and will
do more good than any amount of mon
ey paid for medical attendance. When
physicians are called they frequently
use this Liniment, and of course charge
several prices for it.

Hon. GEoRGE H. PENDEEroN is
travelling in the South. He finds the
political atmosphere there some
what different from that existing in
Ohio, and, having an eye on the
Presidential mansion, he suits his
talk to meet the exigencies Of the
climate. At Augusta, Ga, he is re-
ported as saying:
"The Democratic party is in favor
of hard money, in spite of all that
has been said to the contrary. There
are individual members of the party
who want the currency inflated, but
the great mass are opposed to it."
The Cincinnati Enquirer doesn't
say that Gentleman George lies; it
says, she was mistaken"
The Cincinnati Enquirer is not
pleased with the manner in which
Speaker KERR made up his commit
tees. The commanding position is
the Craftsmanship of the committee
an Ways and Means. This has been
given to Morrison, of Illinois, and
the selection provokes the Enquirer
to exclaim:
A brawling, emptyheaded, unknown
village politician of Waterloo, Illi-
nois, attempting to direct Democratic
legislation in the National House of
Representatives! Four years ago he
was a member of the Illinois Legisla-
ture. He has served in Congress, but
the American people will need to be
told of it. He was selected for the
place not because of his fitness, for q
microscope could not detect that;
not because he represents the West
ern and Southern idea upon the
measures uppermost in public dis
cussion and Importance, for there is
not a Democrat in the House who
would not do this equally well, and
there are scores who would do it bet
ter.
This may be considered the ex
