When the first edition of Swans Treatise, copy
of which is now before us, was found to be sue
cess, we were law student in the Office of the late
Hon. Samuel Pease, and we well remember with
what favor it was regarded not only by Justices of
the Peace, but by the profession generally. At
this writing 1t has reached its ninth edition, and
is deservedly popular
The new work of Judge Spalding before us sup.
plies what always seemed to us to be deficiency
in Swan and that is its copious reference to stand
ard authorities in support Of the dcta of the au-
thor. The thirtv-four thousand citations from
well known and standard authorities are of them.
selves sufficient to give character to the work. and
the legal principles presented The great variety
of forms furnished by the learned author renders
his Treatise particularly valuable, an index to
which, of sixteen pages, is found in the com
mencement and did the work contain nothing
else than the index referred to- and the forms, 1t
would commend itself to the entire business COM
munity, every person of which can readily avail
himself of the advantages contained in the care.

that the work cannot compete with Swans Trea'
tise. A thorough examination Of spaldings TIea
tise has satisfied us that it has its own sphere and
will take its place in the library of the lawyer
student, Justice of the Peace and business man,
While the lawyer and Justice of the Peace will find
the elementary principles of law and reference to
the statutes, with forms some adapted to the COM
mon law and some to the statutes, in Swan, IN the

We regret to add to the somewhatsaddened and
saddening neurology which finds its way into the
Massillon correspondence Of the DEMOCRAT no.
tice of the death of Hon. Daniel P. Rhodes, an
event which occurred at his residence In Cleve-
land on Thursday evening Of last week. Mr.
Rhodes was aged sixty-one years, had done more
to develop. the mineral coal of the Newman's
Creek and Tuscarawas Valleys than any operator
in or ont Of the city of Cleveland, whence has
sprung most of the enterprise in the way OF devel-
oping the coal interests. He was foremost in
building the Cleveland, Tuscarawas Valley and
Wheeling Railway, was prominently connected
with the iron interest in Tuscarawas county, and
was eminently successful in all his enterprises.
He will be missed in all business circles with
which he was connected,
The strike among the miners in the Tuscarawas
and Newman's Creek Valleys continues and is
likely to continue. Much disorder has occurred,
and the end cannot be foreseen, The daily press
has had its reporters on the ground, and we can
not add anything Of interest to what has already
been published. .I.,. ..
