the following appeared in an advertisement
''The only establishment in the county

To which the Sentinel replies:
''Just think Of it for moment, in the
Telegraph Office, at Ashtabula, a village
which according to recent lecturer, 'shas
doubled its population in two years they
run all their presses by steam. 1t must be
a funny sight to see a haHd-press run by
steami Then besides the hand. press they
have two other presses which they run by
steam. Well, we have not yet got our
hand-press to run by steam, but we can
hitch on Jite presses and run them all by
steam when occasion requires it. :"
1t would be very amusing and interest
ing sight to witness that ''hitch on, when
occasion requires it. It would probably
surpass those memorable days when that
big, secondhand, double cylinder, Euro

which required the combined labor Of the

Gus. They hold the same position towards

opinion, is school director, and yet no 9TH

The riot at Alton, and murder Of Love
joy took place before Judge Chester H.
Krum was born. Not many years ago,
Chester H Krum spent two seasons on my
farm in Cherry Valley, then young lad,
helping to milk the COWS and gaining such
knowledge as he might of the common la
bors of life, as the best preparation for that
higher course of study which he has since
followed, and resulted in success which
his friends may justly admire
Ny brother, Judge John II. Krum, the
father Of Chester h. Krum, emigrated from
Little Falls in the State Of New York, in
1888, and settled at Alton, in Illinois, on
the Mississippi river. about 20 miles above
St. Louis. As we are referring to history,
please indulge me in few more lines.
This little town Of Alton was ambitious
snd expectAnt at that time, and INDUCED
in bright visions Of future greatnessl The
National Government was engaged in the
construction Of the great National Road,
as the best known plan end means Of rapid
transit between the East and the West.
The engineers had selected Alton, above
the mouth Of the Missouri, as the only eli
gible point for bridging the river. Hence,
Alton must be the great city Of the West,
and st. Louis must fall into decayi But
change came over the spirit Of their dreams.
''Old Hickory" [" in the second term Of his

made. So ended the great National Road,

BY Brewers son-in-law Of the defendent-
to recover damages for the services Of a
daughter while suffering from the effects
Of Illicit connection with, and pregnancy
by, the defendant grandfather of the
girl, then about eighteen years of age. The
girl-now married-was upon the stand
nearly all day, and her testimony was to
the effect that rape had been committed
upon her by Charles Brydle, her uncle.-
From this connection she had submitted to
an abortion, and before she had fairly re-
covered from this, she had been sedneed
by her grand-parent-the defendant; prob
ably past 7o-and subnitted to a second
operation to be relieved Of its consequences
The defense was that the old gentleman
was innocent of the charges alleged-that
the father and daughter had conspired to
fleece the father and grand father of his
property. This view. Of the case gathered
some strength from letters read written by
the girl to her grandfather, suggesting the
deciding Of his farm to her, reserving life
lease.
Considerable talent was arrayed on either
side, and every point was contested with
earnestness and ability. Lee, Cox and
Hall for plaintiff, and Goddard, Northway
and Gill for defendant.
