and Isabel Weir, aged l year, months

"Gone to the heavenly garden,
Two little eyes ever bright:
Two little hands ever busy,
Early at morning till night,
A lisping tongue never quiet,
Two tiny feet never still,
A eoodly soul that was ready;
Ready to climb up the hill.
Gone to the heavenly garden,
Where the good angels abide,
Our little sunny faced darling,
Gone from this world and its pride
Though we are lonely without him
Pleasure it gives us to know
He will have there as companions,
Those who are pure as the snow"

Hamilton's store was hurglarized last
Saturday night. This is the second
time, this winter, these nocturnal prov
lers have "gone through" this establish
ment Quite a number Of articles were
taken the first sttime-amonnting in value
to forty or fifty dollar4,-but last Satur-
day night nothing of much value was
stolen. Evidently, these knights of the
shade" were frightened off prematurely.
Hamilton admits that his goods are de-
sirable, very cheap, and that people will
have them,-but he insists that he must
have money enough to pay freight.

The expenses of conducting farm
are about the same whether it yields
much or little. II costs about as much
to harvest half ton of hay per acre
as two tons, and costs as much to culti-
vate an acre CT corn that produces ten
bushels as it does one that produces 100,
besides the use of land, cost of fencing,
care, management, etc.-Seek then to
produce heavy crops, for there is where
the profit lies.

A large number of the brethren of the
press in this State piled up the charges
for publishing, last year, the several
proposed Constitutional Amendments, to
such an astonishing altitude that the
guardians of the people who periodically
convene at the Capitol in Columbus,
have been stricken with amazement at
the formidable aggregate Of the figures,
and have determined to see what can
be done to bring abont a reasonable re-
duction Of the same. These amendments,
when set up in type, made about II
squares, which, at the highest legal rate,
for the time they were ordered to he
published-26 weeks-would amount to
S162-ta dollar square for the frstin-
sertion and fifty cents a square for each
additional insertion). But many of the
publishers presented bills considerably
exceeding this amount. We notice in a
list of the papers which partook of this
streak of fat, that the New Lexington
Herald modestly puts it's charge for that
great service at the merely nominal fig
ure of 1928. 3.10-only two hundred and
twenty-three dollars and ten cents, Chris
tian friends-just sixty-one dollars more
than it would amount to at the HIGHEST
legal rate. This, with other things,
goes 10 show that the "longer a man
lives the more he 6nds--out." 4"
There is not one country paper in a hun
dred that charges more than a hundred
and twenty-five dollars a year per col
umn for advertisements. Therefore, at
yearly rates-and the amendments were
published for six months--they should
not, so far as the country press is con
cerned, have cost more than S75 in anv
one case. But then, it don't make much
difference--times are lively, money is
plenty, and the taxpayers have to foot
the billsI

We are pleased to note that Mr.. A. r
Iost of this place, has secured letters
patent on his invention for oiling the
spindles of vehicles. Journals in machin-
cry, etc.-mention of which was made
in these columns several weeks ago. As
this invention is very simple contriv-
ance, and yet so manifestly the Uery
thing for the purpose for which it is de-
signed. it is reasonable to presume that
/ it will meet with "A ready sale wherever
offered, and that the pa'entee will, in
due time, receive "A substantial reward
for this practical application of his in
genuity The invention apparently ex
actly meets a long sought desideratum
in the matter OF "greasing" buggies and
wagons, and we feel assured that its mer-
its will at once recommend it to all per-
sons who deal in or use vehicles of this
description. 1t is Mr.. Yost's intention,
we learn, 10 perfect arrangements as soon
as convenient with some manufacturing
establishment to turn ont the patent oiler
in sufficient numbers to meet the re-
quirements of persons who may pur-
chase territorial rights, and thus get his
invention before the public at an early
day. Success to him.
In the case of the Southern Ohio Coal
Company against David Lane-which
was tried in this place yesterday, before
Justice Kagay,-the Jury, after several
hours deliberation, rendered verdict
to the following effect: "That the de-
fendant is not guilty of holding, by for
chile detention, the property in dispute;
and that his time will expire on May
10th, 1876" The action was brough:
for ejectment. The Coal Company pur-
chased body of land lying near the
tunnel on the N S. & S. r. R., from
Mrs. McCabe, and had made the first
payment thereon. She claimed the
right to remain on and in possession of
the premises until the deferred pay
ments were made. and the action was
brought to eject Lane who is residing
on the land by authority of Mrs. McCabe.
1t is, we learn, only one of number
of similar cases that have been, and
will be upon trial in this county.
