Events Of an exciting character in our vicinity.
Since the 'Grindstone trial. the house of J. T.
Uizcr, Esq, was stoned, and the barns Of George
E. Roads, John Bell and Jacob Fry, were entered,
horses shaved, harness cut to pieces, enc saddle
stolen and other depredations committed. The Ia
test outrage, supposed to be the work of the same
sinners, was the burning of said John Bells barn,
together with two horses, five hogs, mower, hay,
straw, &c. This occurred on Monday night, Sd
inst.
As the DutChman said of his wife's triplets
This fooHsEuess has gone about far enough, and
it deyolyes on the good citizens and officers Of the
law, to demand halt, and if need be, halter Mr..
Bells barn was insured by the Howard Co.
On the same night the barn was burned, the
house of VIM. Copeland in Adams CO., with all the
contents, was burned.
Mr.. f. Danforth and wife, from Springfield, o.,
are visiting her aged mother and relatives at the
residence of T. J. McKeehau.
Mr.. and Mrs. BrindIe, of Wilmington, are still il
attendance upon their daughter, Mrs. G. NJ. Ed

Farmers here talk of packing their hogs, rather
than sell them at present prices. JOSEPHAW.

Union Pacific r. r. Monop
DIV,

Senator Chafee, of Colorado, re-
Gently made an able speech in the
| U. S. Senate, in which he gave the
Union Pacific r. r. Co. a severe and
merited hauling over the Goals, for
it's refusal to pro rate freight and
passenger business with its connect
ing branches, in violation Of the ez-
press stipulations of the law of Con
gress, granting lands to aid in its
construction. Mr. Ch8fee closed
his speech by offering a resolution
calling on the President to inform
the Senate whether any legal imped-
iments exist to prevent him from ex-
ecuting the law under which the
roads were constructed. We trust
the resolution viii be pushed to pas
sage, for it would be the means of
bringing before Congress all the
facts, and so arouse the attention of
the country as to compel effective
Legislation.

Destructive Fire in Price
town,

We learn that the store room and hotel Of Mr.
:. VI. Perry, in Prcetown, were totally destroyed
by fire about O'Clock last Monday morning. The
stock of goods in the store was owned by Mr.. G..
F. Corder, and was entirely consumed. His esti-
mated loss is about 500 on which there wss an In
surance of $500. Mr.. Perry's family lost all their
furniture and household goods except three chairs
and nearly all their clothing. He had an insurance
of $40 on his building and barn. which will about
cover the loss, the barn being saved with its con-
tents.
The wind blew the flames directly across the
street, and it was with great difficulty the build
ing on the opposite corner was saved.
A young man named Dodson, who slept over the
store, had a narrow escape from being burned to
death. being awakened barely in time to escape in
his night-clothes.
The origin Of the dre is unknown, but it is sup
posed to have originated in the store-room from
defective Aue.
We learn that Mr.. Van Custer deserves special
mention for his efficient efforts in saving Mr. Per
rvs barn, which it is thought would have been de-
stroyed but for his timely aid.

Thanksgiving was observed by the most Of our
citizens. The Rev. E. D. Keys preached an ap-
propriate Thanksgiving sermon at the N. E.
church in Marshall, which was well attended, con-
sidering the disagreeabIe weather.
The AIurplies re-opened the Temperance cam
paign on Thanksgiving night at the Christian
Union Church. They had very satisfactory
meeting. Other Temperance meetings are an
nounced to follow soon. The Murphy Temperance
movement has a large membership, and is well or

Maysviile Waking Up,

The Maysville Bulletin copies the
R. R. article ofour townsman, james
H. Thompson, Esq, recently pub.
lisbed in the News, and makes the
following editorial comments:
In view Of the certain early compile
ton of several important railways in
Ohio, that make absolutely necessary
to the commercial welfare of this sec
tion, the finishing of the Columbus
and Maysville road, it is highly i'm
portant that the people Of the region
through which the route will run,
should arouse themselves to some
determined effort. We publish else
where a letter from J. II. Thompson,
of Hillsboro, Ohio, a gentleman Of
great public spirit and deeply inter
ested in the construction of this
much needed throughfare. It is
hardly necessary to say anything of
the advantages to be afforded by this
road, as every man of business will
appreciate them at a glance. Besides
the facilities ofrapid travel and cheap
freights, it will bring back to this
part Of the State very much of the
trade it enjoyed prior to the building
Of our Kentucky roads. Mr. Thomp-
sons communication will be read
with interest.

Correspondence Of the News.
Letter from Kansas

By request we publish the follow
/ ing extracts from a letter written to
a friend in this place, by Mr.. Alex
ander Mccoy, formerly of this town
ship, but who removed to Kansas
last year:
DOUGLAS, Kan, Nov. 25, 1877
"Corn is very plenty here. I new
er can better corn anywhere, but the
price is Iow-only Is centsper busbel.
This is a good country for stock
of all kinds. There are 1000 head Of
cattle near us, fattening for the mar
ket this winter, and about 10000
head of sheep.
There is a great prospect fer q
wheat crop next year. The old set
tiers says that when wheat gets a
good start here in the fall, the crop
never fails. I never saw wheat look
as well at this season as it does here.
The ground is so thickly covered
that a rabbit can easily hide in the
wheat. Many of the farmers have
been pasturing their wheat a month
or six weeks, and cattle and horses
will Craze on some of the earliest
sown fields all winter, without iDjur-
ing the crop.
Emigration is pouring in here all
the time. We can see the covered
wagons almost every day, and my
opinion is that Kansas will make one
of the best States in the Union.
every thing seems to grow here
spontaneously, and to such a size as I
never saw before. I saw q sweet po-
tato that weighed over s lbs. and
one of my neighbo ors saw one that
weighed 10 lbs.
Il wish you would come out here
and see this beautiful country along
Walnut river. Timber is scarce
here, none except along the water
courses, but still wood is very cheap
and can be BOUGHT for 50 TO 50 so a
cord
"They are now building q narrow
gauge railroad along Walnut river,
which will come within two miles Of
us. Now is the time to buy land
here cheap, before the railroad is
finished. The price is bound to go
up soon.
Il think I have so acres Of as good
land as there is in Highland county,
and it produces more with less labor
than any land I ever worked.
81 would advise all men who have
no homes to come to Kansas with
out delay, as it is filing up very fast.
There are still thousands of acres Of
government land, but 1t is being rap
idly taken up.
"Any man can do well here, that
is able and willing to work, as there
is plenty Of work to do.
4 want you to send me the High
land News, and get Mr.. Boardman to
publish such parts Of this letter as
he thinks will be Of interest to his
readers. Yours &c.

German Syrup -

No other medicine in the world was ever
given such a test of its curative qualities
as Boschee's German Syrup. In three
years two million four hundred thousand
small bottles of this medicine were dis
tributed free Of ch .rgs by Druggists in this
country to those afflicted with Consump-
ton, Asthma, Group, severe Colds, PneU-
monia and other diseases of the Throat
and Lungs, giving the American people
proof that German Syrup will
cure them. The result has been that Drug
gists in every town and village in the Uni
ted States are recommending it to their
customers. GO to your Druggist, and ask
what they know about it. Sample Bottles
10 cents Regular size - cents. Three
doses will relieve any case. dec1eow
