Items from Rio Grande.


Rio Grandc is situated high and dry
and of course did not suffer the conse.
ouence of the late flood. The "stalf ol
life, became a little scarce, occasioned
by the mills being stopped so long with
the freshct.
Stock buyers are numerous. Some
nice cattle passed here few days ago.
Mr.. Lucas had the best lot of sheep that
we have seen for many day-one hun
dred and fifty innumber.
Mr.. J. C. Gross has wheat sOwed al
ready.
A. Troth has the frame erected for his
residence.
Schools aboutall taken up. Miss Jen-
ME V. Giles left few days since to
teach one of the Cheshire schools.
The floors are being laid in the col
leee. The skaters and timers are also
advancing with their job; few days
more and they are done. The building
is universally admired, and attracts
many visitors. Our ''intended" Gov
ernor HAYES and Judge LAWRENCE paid
their respects to it in passing this way.
Miss Ida Haning is employed in giving
music lessons on both Organ and Pi-
anO.
Three years residence in this county
had almost convinced me that the soil in
this township was rather poor, but this
season one is led to conclude that the
fault was not altogether in the land, but
Il h.ck of sufficient rain, as the land is
producing an extra crop of weeds, as
we'll rs vegetables. | never saw taller
corn or longer ears, amongst the rich
hills of Meigs county, than we are hay-
ing this season. OCCASlONAL.

put in Jail here for whipping his
wife. He was afterward adjudged
insane and seat to the Asylum. He
stayed there about two weeks, and
went home, where he has remained
until now, when he comes TO the sur
face under the charge of attempting
to commit rape. This latter hap
pened about ten days ago. G. was
caught in the act by JOE SHORT.
He has been lodged in Jail again,
where he keeps up hub bub all the
time. He hung himself with strip
OF blanket, on Friday, but was cut
down by deputy. He also built a

no damage.

The People Want Proof.

There is no medicine prescribed by
Physicians, or sold by Druggists, that
carries such evidence of its success and
superior virtue as BosCHEE's GERMAN
SYRUP for Severe Coughs, Colds settled
on the Breast, Consumption, or any dis
ease of the Throat and Lungs, a proof of
that fact is that any person afflicted, can
get Sample Bottle for 10 cents and try
its superior effect before buying the
regular size at Is cents. It has lately
been introduced in this country from
Germany, and its wonderful cures are
astonishing everyone that uses it.
Three doses will relieve any case. Try
it. Sold by all Druggists. (eowly

Important.

The following is from the Iader of
Wenona, Ills, of some years ago:
"If you wish Dental work you can
rely on, or advice you can depend on,
90 to DIR. BADGLEY. His knowledge
of and experience in the profession,
and skill in Dental Surgery, with a
frank gentlemanly treatment to his
patients, has deservedly won for him
wide reputation in Dentistry not
surpassed by any in the State" DR..
BADGLEY was raised in Gallia coun-
ty, and is now located in Gallipolis,
with office over Wasson's Book
Store, and we are glad to notice he is
kept SO busily engaged by our citizens,
who are appreciative of his skill as
Dentist. And to all we would say
"go thaH and do iikewise'--timely
preserving your teeth and your
health.

The will gives all his personal and

ment of the executor After the

ty years old, the fund is to be turned
over to Board of Trustees to be Sc
lected by the executor, who shall
build a high school building in Guy
an township, using all the funds nee
essary, and the balance is to be an
endowment fund for the same. To

people in the township are to be adj
mitted free of tuition. Mrs. JOHN

Banditti ln Guyan.

REUBEN RICE is an old man, about
seventy years of age, living on In
dian Guyan creek, in Guyan town
ship, with his aged wife, aud a
nephew, young man of perhaps
twenty years There are no close
neighbors. Mr.. RICE is one of those
peculiar old men who set great store
by the old gold and silver dollar. Be-
ing pinchingly close he had accumu-
lated quite a sum of money, and
lived not to enjoy but to hoard and
guard it. That he had some money
was known among his acquaintance,
and such knowledge proved unfortu-
mute to him.
On Thursday night last after the
family had retired some men came to
the house and demanded admission.
On account of the lateness of the
hour this was of course refused,
wherenpon they broke in the door,
and overpowering the family proceed
ed TO search the house. During their
search the young nephew who was
lying in bed attempted to rise when
he was Immediately knocked back
The robbers found $3.50 in gold and
silver which they took, but failed to
find $1,000 in greenbacks which
were in the house. The thieves then
departed without iniuring any one
further than above stated. :.
The next morning a crowd of
twenty five men started in pursuit of
the banditti, and followed them to
the river where they embarked in
skiffs either for West Virginia or
down the river.
The thieves were six in number,
and entered the house with BACKED
faces.
