"A little son of Mr.. Geo. Albaugh,
who lives at the foot of Hiland St.,
fell into the back channel on Saturday
last, sank several times, and was final
ly carried over the rifle, some rods in.
to the river. Mr.. John Hood happen
ed to get sight of the boy, and plunged
into the water, and brought the little
chap safely to shore, and he is now all
right again, but he came very nearly
passing in his checks. 1t is wonder
that we do not hear of moro accidents
Of the same kind, as scarcely a day
passes but numerous boys, from five
to twelve years are padding all over
the eddy, where the water is from four
to fifteen feet deep.
The Black Hills bubble has been
efectually punctured by the hatchet
of the Indian. The telegrams giving
an account Of their depredations are
sickening in their details of butchery.
The poor fellows who have been led to
the Hills by the false reports, in hopes
of making a fortune, lose their lives
instead. The latest report from that
section is of the killing of a party of
forty-nine men, a wholesale bntchery,
which will cause the deepest feeling of

This is the last issue of our pa
per in which candidates are allowed
to announce themselves, previous to
our primaries, according to the rules.
So the Republicans must make choice
amSng those whose name are already
announced. Personally, we would be
better satisfied if there were fifteen or
twenty persons announced for each
office, as in that case, we would by
this time, have money enough to make
US comparatively independent for
time.
The Democrats in this county
and district are working just as hard
for nominations as if they expected
to make the election provided they
are nominated. With the exception of
State Senate, they will certainly be
mistaken, and on that Office they may
be. 1t is great mistake, however,
for these individuals to buttonhole
Republicans; for according to the,
rules they are not allowed to vote at
the Democratic primaries.
The Republican primary elections
in Butler county were held last week,
and, at the convention, held at Butler
on Friday last, it was decided to throw
out the entire vote from the oil dis
tricts. The oil men are very indignant
and, if the vote was straight, in their
respective districts, they have a per-
feet right to be. The result will be
bad splits in the vote at the Novem.
