Abel Gerslds has been quite sick for
several days, but it is thought he Is some
better to-day, and we hope he will re-
cover.
There were two deaths here last Sun
day-both of them old people. One OF
them, Joseph Morse, had reached the ad-
vanced age ofsO years. As he was a
quiet, home man, he was comparatively
little known in town outside his lmmedi-
ate neighborhood. He lived on the s.
Ridge, near Amasa Tyler's.
The other one was Mrs. Jonathan Ave
ry, who at the time of her death was
nearly "a years of age. Mr.. and Mrs A.
had been married for over fifty years,
and we're devoiedIy attached TO each 9TH

Mrs. Avery was a sufferer from stroke
of paralysis, being unable to leave her

slowly sinking from first to last.

beyond all doubt fact Of vital importance to the

aRgravate the symptoms, without removing them.
The Bitters on the contrary, act as a corrective
and tnvigorant, without producing the unpleasant
and dangerous consequences Of the old school

AUSTINBU RG.


As The morning service was about
closing on Sunday last, word reached
the Congregational church that Grand
River Institute was on fire. People and
and pastor hurried to the seemingly
doomed buiIding, which had been once
destroyed by fire. The main building
was smoking from the roof, and strong
wind VS. blowing from the southwest.
Fortunately the fire had burned only
small hole on the east end, a few feet
from the north side of the cupola, and
under the caves. Some of our citizens
who had already reached the ground,
seemed to have given up all as lost, and
shouted to the crowd TO remove the con-
tents. In short time the library, his
torical collections, instruments-phil
sophical and musical-and the personal
effects of the Principal and family, and
the contents of the upper rooms occupied
by the young ladies, were soon in the
yard, in the most elegant confusion i'm

of the moment, mirrors and stoves were
thrown from the upper stories. The more
cool and clear headed found means of
getting upon the building, and a hole
was cut through the tin roof, lines form
ed and buckets of water passed and the
place drenched so earnestly that in less
than half an hour the fire was out
The damage is estimated at about
$500. The loss from breakage, and to
some extent, needless injury to doors,
windows, blinds, &C., is about 5000 more.

LEON,

Ed. Tain the last issue of vour
paper you published a communication
from John Reed, in which myself and
some others are referred TO in such a
manner that think reply Is in justice
demanded.
For a few years last past. several start
ling burglaries and larcenies have o.en
committed in this immediate vicinity,
and during last winter evidence " as dis
covered tending to show that your cor.
respondent, John Reed, was guilty of
these off'nses. He was promptly arrest
ed, and was employed by Mr.. Walter
HOlbrOok to conduct the examination on
the part of the State, and AT the close of
the examination he was held to bail n
the sum of $4,000 for his appearance at
the next term of our court of Common
Pleas. At that term the grand jury
found three indictments against John
Reed, his brother, Chas. G. Reed. being
one of the material witnesses. Duri ng
the June term of court, and after John
Reed had been informed that he must be
tried on these indictments, some person,
late in the night season, broke into the
room of Charles C. Reed, bearingSa light
ed torch in one hand and areYolver in
the other, and there. in the presence of
the wife and little child of said Charles
G. Reed, fired three bullets into the head
of the husband and father, and Mr. and
Mrs. Charles q. Reed affirm that it was
John Reed who committed this attempt
ed murder. John Reed was then COM
mitted to the Jail of the county for safe
keeping. Walter Holbrook soon after,
and acting under the advice of his near
est relatives, commenced an action in at
tachment against John Reed in the Court
of Common Pleas, and saw fit to employ
myself as one of his attorneys in the case,
and hence am made target in John
Reeds communication to your paper. 1
think that [ can endure such an attack,
coming as it does from such a source.
But 1t would seem TO me that Mr.. Chas.
c. Reed had suffered enough already at
the hands of that man, without being
charged by him through your columns
with being an untrQthful person. Mrs.
Chas. G. Reed has always from childhood
resided in this vicinity, and desire to
assure your readers that John Reed is
the only one that ever in this communi-
tV possessed a sufficiently low degree of
meanness and untruthfullness to speak
or write one word against her reputation
in any respect.
John Reed is again at liberty. After
repeated words and letters of clution had
been given the sheriff in relation to
his taking particular care to prevent
his escape, he is allowed to remain in the
common room of The jail throughout the
night, and by the assistance of imple.
ments furnished by some unknown friend
he breaks out of the Jail to again commit
depredations and crimes, and to villify
and slander the one he had caused to suf-
fer SO terribly. Had she not right to
have looked for diffenent state of things?

The County Jail.

To the Editor Of the Telegraph;
The last Sentinel expressed the opinion
that new county Jail is needed, as pris-
oners escape from the present one every
year. We think if he will examine the
records for the years 1866 up to 1869 in
elusive, he will find that during thos e
years, no prisoners escaped and it b eing
just after the war, it was good time for
prisoners. The jail, as we understand II,
is now in the same con dihon that it then
was. If a new jail like that at Wa rren,
built at an expense of $50, 900, fails to
prevent prisoners from escaping, what
assurances have we that our prisoners
wo uld be safe after similar expenditure
at Jefferson? Perhaps the Sentinel had
better not agitate the new Jail question
too soon, as it may start another. and
more unwelcome, one-that of where it
shall be located. Just now, we are cry
ing economy in the public expenditure,
and We hardly think the people of The
county are willing 10 be taxed the thou
sands that might be called for in carry
ing out such measure. Ei
