The newspapers are now agitating the
subject Of making some tree an emblem
of the United States. A Chicago paper
thinks, as the oak is an emblem of Eng
land aid the laurel OF Greece, the hick-
DRY might well serve in the same capacity
for the United States. but we are inclined
to think the hickory is not likely to be
installed in the popular favor as an en-
blem, as most men in our country who
have been properly brought up do not re-
gard it with any overwhelming degree of
affection. As an emblem they have seen
it wave sufficiently in early life.

Yesterday while the procession of
Coles circus was passing the store OF
Sarah Welch in Eddyyille, some thief
entered and finding the safe door
standing open went through one
compartment and carried off three
hundred dollars. Ii was bold trick
as Miss WEIGH was standing i'm the
door at the time but she considers
herself lucky that she got off as well
as she did because near by i'm the
same safe was a package of fifteen
hundred dollars which they fortu.
nately overlooked.
Jack Sullivan was arraigned before
the Mayor on five different charges,
rs follows: for being drunk, gamb-
ling, disturbing the peace, assault and
battery and keeping a gambling
house. The last charge was with
drawn, and Jackson put in plea OF
guilty TO all the rest. The Mayor
holds the case in allowance, but will
probably decide the matter this even
ing.
Thos. O'Sullivan put in a plea OF
guilty to the charge of assault and

4 Wife and Mother DPutally Mur
doRc0.



From the Burlington Gazette, May 25th.
A brutal case of wife beating devel-
opea into case of murder at Sage
town yesterday, The particulars OF
the horrible crime, as we learn them,
are at follows:
On Monday last, a Swede, (whose
name we were unable to 1earn,) who
was employed in a stone quarry in the
vicinity of Sagetown, got on spree
and became quarrelsome. Not being
satisfied with his efforts abroad, he
went home and began to abuse his
wife, a lady about thirty-thrce years
of age, Becoming enraged he struck
her, knocked her down, and kicked
and beat her in shocking manner,
and finally drew knife and stabbed
her in the right side of the head, just
under the ear, inflicting a deep and
fatal wound. The unfortunate woman
lived for three days, perfectly con-
scious but unable to speak, death en-
suing yesterday morning. She was
the mother of two little children
twelve and six years old, respectively.
The little ones at the corOner's in
quest, which was held yesterday gave
a straight and pathetic account in their
childish way of the occurrence. Their
testimony, combined with that of 9TH
or witnesses examined, was sufficient
to cause their father to be placed In
durance vile, to await and answer TO
charge Of murder, which will be
brought against him. He is now con-
fined at Oquawka, and Is o fit COM
panion for the brute, Bill Lee.

We have often alluded to the NAM

an Office desk surrounded by q SPLEEN
didly pannelled walnut counter, and
taken as a whole it may justly be
termed palatial in appearance
We can say without fear OF
contradiction that there is not as
large a drug store in Iowa as that OF

BATAVIA, O.-BusinesC is dull.'
Now that is no news to us, for
during the past thirty-five years it
has never been any other way in that
nice, sleepy little town. We left Ba-
tavia, where we learned to stick type,
i'm 1916. We visited there in 1866, and
the keeper Of the best hotel in town
was setting on the corner of the porch
exactly where we left him sixteen
years previously. But now a change
is likely to come over theip dreams. A
RAILROAD is projected from Williams
burg and Batavia, to connect with the
Little Miami II. II. at Milford. and
these towns, which were born near
seventy-hve years ago, and have q
population of 5GO or GOO, will perhaps
awaken to new life. Batavia, not
withstanding it's seeming insignifi.
canoe as a town, has given to the
country many prominent men, among
whom we may mention David L.

brother Phillip, Of tha Supreme Court
Of Ohio; Reeder w. Clark, Thomas
Morris. U. S. Senator; Jonathan d.
Morris, N. e.; Judge Owen Fish.
back, and his sons, John, of the Ind.
annapolis journal, and Geo. w. and
w. r., of the Missouri Democrat; the
lamented Col. Lowe, killed at the
battle Of Carnifax Ferry, and a num-
Der of patriots, statesmen, divines,
lawyers, judges, etc, we cannot now
call to mind. Business was alyays
dull about Batavia, but. nevertheless
there are remembrances and associa.
tons clustering around it, that are
pleasant to bring to mind by any one
who eyer lived in the quiet little vii.
lage that clusters at the foot of the
hills Of the East Fork of the beautiful
Miami.

of fearful accident. A man named

went in to transact some business. The
horses became frightened and ran
away, throwing the woman and child
out of the wagon, fracturing her
skull, and otherwise iniuring her.
The child was seriously injured, but it
is thought it will recover. There is
no hope of saving the mothers life.
