An Insiuuation.

If. through the interposition of Di-
vine Providence, (1othing else ecer t0ill
preUent 1t, } the COURIER should fail to
be published on time some week, the
JEFF. of the following day would be the
dreariest and most dismal local news
paper ever seeu.-Courier.
The GOODNESS of the above would be
refreshing jn hot weather, but in view
of the fact that its very enterpIising
editor did not even furnish a synopsis
of the evidence in the recent murder
case, (while the JEFF, besides giving
its ordinary variety, gave full report, }
will be regarded very icy. On that
occasion the JEFF's. local character
was attested by a sale of over 5000
extra papers, numbers of the COurier's
regulars being among the purchasers.
We have occasionally sent over for an
early copy of the Courier, when re-
quested by parties to copy some article
from its columns, copy of which had
been left at that office. This week. a
gentlemen met our assistant Oh the
street, and requested that a certain
obituary which would appear in the
Courier should be copied in the JKFF.
On obtaining the Courier and turning
to the obituary, we found that we had
it already in type, copy Of the same
having been furnished us on Thursday
of last week, but too late for last
weeks paper. We are not given to
boasting, but we invite a comparison
of the local department of even this
weeks JEFF. with the local depart
ment of our petulant and peculiar
neighbor.

HARDEN-Elizabeth, wife of James
Harden. was born in Suffolk county,
England, April 11th, 1909, and died
April Goth, 1877, aged 6S years and
days Emigrated to America, May =,
1886.
Mother Harden was one among the
first to come into the western wilds of
Pleasant township, to assist her husband
and family to clear up farm.
At the age of 43, she was converted
under the labors Of Elder Cammel-was
under the watch-care of the Baptist
Church for about twelve years-and
then joined the Church of God, and con-
tinued within her walls until the end OF
life. and has now passed from labor to
reward. She leaves an aged companion,
four sons and four daughters, with host
Of friends and neighbors to mourn for
the dead.
Mother Harden was strong believer
that the "Effectual feryent pray of the
righteous availeth much" her prayers
for years past have been that she might
live to see her children converted" and
so she did. Three Sons with their wives
were brought into the fold the past win
ter, and when Joseph, James and Jack
son were converted, she exclaimed with
one of old, now let thy servent depart
in peace, for mine eyes have seen thy
Salvation She was confined TO her
room for nearly four months. She was
an exemplary christian woman, and IN
her death her family, friends, neighbors,
and the Church sustains great loss.
Funeral services were held at the house
of the deceased and conducted by Rev
Jas Long, from st John, 14th chapter
1st and I'd verses FRIEND.

Tc know that "bore" was flying

TIC know that ''bore" was flying
Through the atmosphere outlying,
Was truly gratifying; and we thought the
matter DER,
Till propitious sleep appearing
Set our thoughts away careering,
And cur sentient existence was made
known in many snore.
Whether in or out of body
Was a question; but the body
or that 'bore" did seem to darken the
very atmosphere.
To our sanctum it drew nearer;
As it came we viewed it clearer,
And the horrors of nightmare seemed to
settle on us here;
For the said "Bogardus Kicker
Made a skeleton-specter quicker
Than we ever had imagined conld he done
by il before.
There stood the mortal corpus
With its arm outstretched before US,
And in its ghsstly fingers was The skeleton
of the ''bore."
Signing dead for evermore,
Will it hahn you: nevermOre.
But through the outer darkness will 1t
wander evermore! Clothed in gore"
Then the atmosphere grew brighter
And our thoughts became much lighter
For we suddenly determined to turn the
matter DER;
Then came q sound of contact
With the floor heavy contact
We had turned our body over from the
lounge unto the floor
And We slept not any more
Neither slumbere,i We nor snor.''i
But rubbed spot upon our corpu- Mur'
by contact with the floor.

Reported Suicide-Not So,

Z On Thursday morning a report pre-
vailed that Mrs. Martin Walters, resid
ing upon Corey street, had committed
suicide the night previous by taking
poison. On learning of the matter a
reporter from the JEFF. called st the
residence of the deceased and endeav-
ored to ascertain the facts OF the case.
Those present did not appear to know
much about it, except that the lady
was aged 50 years and was dead, and
that DR.. Detweiler had attended her.
Our reporter then called upon DIR.
Detwei!er and obtsined the following
facts. Several weeks ago the old lady
had engaged in a trade OF some prop
erty, but before signing the papers dis
covered that the trade would he to her
disadvantage, and was greatly worried
over it. About tile same time she
caught distressing cold which settled
upon her lungs producing Pneumonia.
She began to improve but a day or
two since had a relapse, and died on
Wednesday night while enduring
great suffering from difficult respira
ton.

The @. 8. d G. r. r.

A decision wasreached in this care on
Friday of last week, and was rendered
by Judge Caldwell. The motion to
dissolve the injunction allowed by
Judge Finnefrock, was sustained, and
another made to vacate the Receiver
ship. The opinion rendered was quite
lengthy, and regarded as very able.
Sloane, however, through his attorney,
Judge Burke, of Cleveland, gave no
tice of appeal to the District Court of
Sandusky county. The bond was fix-
ed at 800, 600, and If bail is furnished
the road will be left in Sloane's hands
for the ensuing year, at least, as the
Court does not sit before.
P. S.-The order TO vacate was
served upon Receiver Lea, on Friday
of last week, but he refused to vacate.
An order of the Court was then issued
summoning him to appear and show
cause for the contempt, on Tuesday,
when, through Judge Burke, certain
questions were presented to the Court
and argued, and the result was a post
ponement until May 7th, when the
matter will be heard before the same
Judges. Meanwhile-Sloane '.holds

was preached by Rev. G. Fry, from

After an impressive religious service
of half an hour, Rev. W. T. Hart open
ed the topic" Social Prayer It's De-
fects Defects 1st. Too long. Lengthy
prayers generally indicate eoidness of
religious condition. Scripture prayers
are models in their brevity. 2nd- For
mality. 3rd. Inappropriateness and
irrelevancy. 4rh. The occasion OF
these defects is to be found in the ne
glect of secret prayer IDEAS suggest
ed by other speakers. Ministers are
probably to be criticised for their eI
amples il regard to length. The in.
sincerity OF them is a fatal defect.
While there may be formality in pray
ers, yet there is a defect often in the
other extreme. One of the best cor
receives for such defects is TO All the
peoples hearts with feeling of theil
needs.

TAKE WARNING.

T'other evening We were lying
In the sanctum vainly trying
To invent some local items for our valu-
able sheet,
When a ''fiend' who thought us sleep
ing,
To our desk came softly creeping,
Picked up some late exchanges and then
started for the street;
Then the air grew denser, thicker,
As OR old ''Bogardus Kicker"
Raised the grim, audaciOus stranger
through the window with crash
Just lifted him so neatly
That he disappeared completely,
With his shoulders ornamented with q
shattered window sash
And the stranger still is hying
Through the atmosphere flying,
With flag of truce" protruding through
the hole ''Bogardus" tore;
And the soothing thought comes DER
us,
That he never more will bore us
Never come come to steal exchanges from
our sanctum any more.
