Death of rhos. Beach, ESQ.

Capt. Thomas Beach, of the well
known law firm of Beach & Law
renee, of this city, died at his resi-
dence on End street, at p. m. on
Saturday last, after three week s
illness of typhoid dysentery. Capt.
Beach was man of fine physique,
and healthy appearance, and his seri-
GUS illness and subsequent death
occasioned surprise as we'll as deep
regret. The disease was sudden in
its inception and serious in its na-
ture from the start, and seeming to
resist all treatment brought him
almost to deaths door before it
could be checked. His friends be-
gan to have hopes of his recovery,
but he afterwards sank into ty
phoid condition, from which he never
rallied, and gradually breaking
down, expired as stated, On Satur
day. His funeral took place yester-
day at 2 p. M, Chillicothe Lodge
No. "a, 1. o. 0. f., of which he was
a member, attending in body.
Capt. Beach was born in Adams
County, Feb. IA, 1914, and resided
in that county for some years after
arriving at a mans estate. While
living there he became a husband
and a widower, though the name of
the lady to whom he was first united
in marriage issunknown to us. He
graduated at Delaware, and after
wards read law at Columbus. While
residing at Columbus he was mar
ried to Miss Sallie Harrison, daugh-
ter of DR.. Harrison, of Lancaster,
Ohio. He was admitted to the bar
in Circleville, and settled at Green
field where he began the practice OF
law. During his residence at Green
field, which was of several years dur
asion, be was elected and served two
terms as Mayor.
From Greenfield he removed to
Hillsboro where his second wife
died after lingering illness. He
removed to Cincinnati in 1854,
where he entered into practice of
the law with Mr.. Mcbride. While
at Cincinnati he was married to his
third wife and present widow, Miss
Rachel P. Welsh. He came to Chill
licothe in 1857, and occupied an
Office with Gen. Brown. When the
war began, he started in the 73d as
I'd Liutenant of Co D. was after
wards promoted to Captaincy, and in
December, 1875, was discharged OH
account of physical disability. Here
turned to Chillicothe, where he again
entered upon the practice of law, and
in the fall of 1867 formed partner
ship with Capt W. Y. Lawrence,
which partnership was severed by
Capt. Beach's death.-[Scio Gaz.

The Bloomington Qll) Panta-
graph has the following paragraph,
which will be read with interest by
"Jim's" numerous friends in this
vicinity:
Mr.. James X. Roush is building a
family mansion on East Front street,
that he intends shall be credit to
the town and q comfort to himself
and family. And thereby hangs a
tale. There is a general belief that
pleasures never come singly, and
thus it proved. Yesterday, while
Jim stood watching the progress of
the building and picturing to his
minds eye the beauty of the aforesaid
mansion in all its dimensions of
breadth and height word was
brought him that a distinguished
stranger hadarrivedldia1Sh d the ESsidence
and wished to see him. On being
presented by his wife, the stranger
said that he had come to make sp-
plication as a clerk and perhaps
junior partner in the new grocery
store. He said that he knew he
was young-an object that time
would remedy-but he was large
for his age-weight nine pounds
and as his wardrobe was rather scan
ty he would work for his board and
clothes until the new store was
ready to open. Whereupon the
overjoyed and happy father rushed
down town, and came back with the
cigars which he "set up" to the
builders, consisting of MIR. Smith W.
Wilson and his force of workmen,
some six or seven in all.

Chesapeake & ohio R. r.

We publish from the Richmond
Dispatch, full account of the pro
ceedings of Judge Bond in appoint
ing a receiver for the G. & o. r. r.
The country became somewhat ia.
miliar in the days of Jim Fisk, with
such orders as these, but even when
we find no such summary proceed
ings as were taken in this case.
A bond was fixed in Baltimore,
with the name of the receiver insert
ed, the sureties and penalty fixed,
the receiver puts it in his pocket and
rushes to Richmond, where a Balti-
more Judge happens to be holding
Court-and the Judge, without no.
tice to the Railroad Company
whose officers are within two min
utes walk of his court, appoints this
self-constituted receiver, and in fif-
teen minutes, turns over O road cost
ing $40,000,000, with all its books
and papers, TO former officer of the
3. & o. road on $4,000 bond.
We have no time, and there is no
need of comment. The officers of
the road will lose no time in resist
ing these proceedings, and we have
no doubt of their ability to do SO
successfully. The most unfortunate
thing about it, is that the credit OF
the road, and so many innocent per-
sons, must suffer from it. The ab-
surd report that the officers of this
road in New York winked at this pro-
ceeding, is too absurd to need refu-
tation.-[ Huntington Adv.
S!Ob, no-it's not absurd at ALL The
policy Of a mighty corporation--iis
only mysterious, never absurd. The
absurd part is how fellow could go
down to Richmond, and at a court,
within a stones throw of the offices
of the G. & o. R. R.. get that road
turned over to receiver, without
the company knowing anything
about it.-[Ironton Register.
The same paper also has the fol-
lowing paragraph, which sheds some
further light on the affairs of the
road:
G. & o. R. R.-Henry Tyson of
Baltimore, is the Receiver appointed
for this road and now has charge of
it. The complainants are three per
sons of New York, who hold bonds
to the amount of $4,000. The
railroad company were taken by sur
prise, and were not represented in
Court when the Assignee was sp-
pointed. 1t is said the company is
largely indebted to the employees of
the road ALI these arrearages will
now gointo the floating Indebtedness,
to be iquidated in the dim future.

Nasby is opposed to imitation. He
says that four gallons of water TO one
gallon of whisky may enlarge the
bulk, but, after all, there is only one
fifth genuine inspiration in the stuff.
Then, again, he is decidedly opposed
to any plan that would ruin water by
spelling good whisky.

Last fall the Democrats shouldered
the Republican party with the dull
times. Give us the power and
every man shall be kept busy. They
have been in power for nearly year
in New York and Pennsylvania.
Times are as bad as ever in both
States. Democracy has not kept its
promise to the laboring man. 1t
could not restore prosperity, and it
knew it could not, when it made the
pledge. Dull times comes from
other causes than political ones.
Over-productien! over trading spec
ulationl are the fruitful causes.
Both parties are equally powerless
to prevent these. But with good
or bad times we need good govern
ment, and this can be secured only
through Republican rule.

A PARODY.
THE BURIAL OF THE RAG nAnr

THE BURIAL OF THE RAG BABY
Mt drum was heard, nor funeral note,
As the eor'se to the river was hurried,
Not soldier discharged farewe, shot,
A in silence the poor baby we buried.
We buried 1t sadly at dead of nigh.
Near the river 80 rapidly running,
By the burning store boxes misty light,
And the gas lamps dimly burning,
No useless coffin enclosed its breast,
Nor in sheet, nor in shroud we wound it,
But Il lay there quietly taking its rest,
: With its old dirty rags around it.
Few and short were the prayers we said,
And we spoke not word of the fallen,
But silently gazed on the face of the dead
And groaned for "old rise up Bill Allen"
Slowly and sadly we laid the babe down
From the field of it's fame, fresh and goary,
We carved not line, we raised not stone,
But left it alone in its glery.
Lightly they'll talk of the baby that's gone,
And DER its cold ashes upbraid it,
Bnt little we care, if they'll let it sleep on
In the grave where our boys have just laid it.

should be supplied by the State
Union OF. the Executive Committee
of the State Union.
All delegates should be chosen in
the manner above indicated, and

formed, Congressional District
Unions will be entitled to send del
egate, by becoming auxiliary to the
National Union.
As each Vice President of the Ma

gates. 1t is expected that many of
the delegates will remain ever the
Sabbath, and that Gospel Temper
ance Meetings will be held through
out the city and neigbboring towns.
Delegates who desire entertain

ly with Mrs. S. K. Leavitt, Presi-
dent of W. T. o., 1862 Court street,
Cincinnati, Ohio, that homes may be
assigned them.

preaching meeting, to that work, let
us lift up united prayers that the
divine Leader of our hosts might
there reveal himself to US Sin the
demonstration of the spirit and with
power"

could see 1t by turning my eyes downward. All
this time was taking various remedies for my
blood without any substantial benefit.
then went TO prominent physician in Boston
who, during his treatment of six months, lanced
the tumor eight times, which cost me nearly 800.
This left me with rough, aggravated sore, with
out at all diminishing the size of the tumor, and in
a sickly, feeble condition. l consulted another
physician in Natick, who, after considerable time,
succeeded in healing the without reducing the
size. At this point commenced to use VEGETINE,
through the earnest persuasion of friend. After
had taken this medicine abcut one week expe-

seemed to undergoing radical change, until, final

color, aOith the gloss and freshness of
youth. Thin hair is thickcned, fall
ing hair checked, and badness often,
though not always, cured by its
use. Nothing can restore the hair
where the follicles are destroyed, or
the glands atrophied and decayed;
but such as remain can be saved by
this application, and stimulated into
activity, so that new growth of
hair is produced. Instead of fouling
the hair with a pasty sediment, it
viii keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will present the hair
from turning gray or falling of,
and consequently prevent badness.
The restoration of vitality it gives
tho scalp arrests and prexents
the formation OF daudruff; which is
often SO -uncleanly and offensive.
Free from those deleterious sub
stances which make some prepara-
tions dangerous, and injurious to the
hair, the Vigor can only benefit, but
not harm it. If wanted merely for
a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else
can be found SO desirable. Contain
ing neither oil nor dye, it does not
soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich,
glossy lustre, and a grateful perfume.
