SHOT BY HER BROTHER.

CIScISXATI. July Sat the residence
of Lawyer Edwin Edwards, No. ISL Rich
mond street Miss Eva Edwards, daugh-
ter Of the attorney. about thirteen years
Of age and a remarkably beautiful girl
was yesterday shot by her brother.
About 9 o'clock in the morning John
ny Edwards. a younger brother eight
years Of age managed to secure an Enfield
rife, which the elder son, young man
Of seventeen, had left loaded in the back
parlor. Miss Eva was sittingin the room
at the time, engaged in ruffiing a white
linen waist which she intended to wear
in the afternoon.
Johnny took the rifle and went out in
the back yard to play soldier with j.,
while his sister sat sewing at the window
and pointed the gun at his sister in reck-
less fun. She was in the act of admon-
ishing him to take the weapon away and
never to point frearm, whether loaded
or unloaded, at any person, when the ri
fle-which neither of them of course
knew to be loaded-was discharged. The
ball, heavy missile entered the young
lady's neck and passed upward through
the head. killing her instantly.
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1877-07-12

The jackson Standard is one OF the
best Republican papers in the State. 20
far as political and general news is con-
cerned, but it is a miserable failure az a
local paper. 1t must be very disgusting
to the readers of the Standard to be fool
ed as they are every week by the local
items in that paper. Almost every issue
OF that paper contains from two TO three
columns local items. { which begin with
some startling announcement and end in
puff for some merchant. All of which
is very pleasing to the merchant and re-
munerative to the editor, but an intoler-
able bore on the reader WaUeriy Watch
man.
The Watchman ought not to be too
hard upon US. We have not the basis for
local news in Jackson county that they
have in Pike. We have no Jim Emmitt
with a distillery in our county. We pub
lish large mass Of statistics taken from
the Assessors returns, which the Watch
man does not give for Pike county, but
it may refer to it in year or two, when
it gets the annual report of she Auditor
or Secretary of State. In lieu of such
statistics it gives the number of thou
sands OF bushels of corn mashed daily at
Emmitt's distillery.
The Standard publishes all the births,
deaths and marriages in Jackson county.
The Waterman does not do this for Pike
/ but it tells hew many hogs are slop fed at
Emmitt's distillery.
The Standard gives the proceedings
each week of the Probate Court of Jack
son county, and the transfers of real es-
tate. The Watchman does not do this
for Pike, but it tells how many bushels of
corn Emmitt has in his cribs, ready to be
turned into whisky
The Standard gives each month the
names OF the school teachers who have
received certificates, with the questions
they have been required to answer The
Watchman does not do this, but it tells
how many acres of pasture land are con.
nected with Emmitt's distillery, and how
niggers are excluded from the schools oi
Pike county.
We might 60 on at great length max
ing these comparisons, but we forbear
The Watchman is a great local paper
True, it is patent concern, one-half o
it not edited or printed in Pike county
but then it has Emmitt and his distillery
in Pike.
