of general interest has been transact,
ed up to Tuesday evening. Next
week we will give a full synopsis Of
the proceedings up to the time of 60
ing to press.
We are informed there was a mis-.
take in regard to the chen party" no.
ticed by the local in the Eaton "Weak-
ly." One big shanghai was seated at
the table. Rooster parties will be in
order six months after the Inaugural
ton of His Fraudulency.
MORRIS STURM is now receiving the
largest and best assortment of Spring
Clothing and Gents Furnishing Goods
ever brought to Eaton. He has en-
larged his business room and will in
sure every person dealing with him a
"fair count" Call and see him.
A comet is now making its appear
ance and will 500 be visible to the
naked eye. 1t should be looked for
about 4o'clock a.. M, a few degrees
south of the bright star ALPHA OPH-
1NcHI. This will be good exercise for
early risers and lazy astronomers.
j. G. McNUTT, Esq, died in Rich
mond, Ind, at the residence of his
father-in-law, on Saturday last about
IL o'clock, aged about A years. Mr..
McNult was so we'll known in this
county that it is unnecessary for us to
write anything upon his death. VALE.
A few flags were flung out in Ea-
ton on Friday morning last when the
new came that RUTHERFRAUD HAYES
had been counted in. Under the cir
cumstances, we should think those
that done it must have felt similar to
the man crawling owe a fence with a
stolen sheep ON his back.
DR.. o. H.. PECK died in Richmond,
Ind, on Thursday last, in the 6Sth
year of his age. He resided in Eaton
from 1912 until 1847. and then remov-
ed to New Paris, where he lived I'M
til 1870, and then became a citizen of
Richmond. He was married three
times and leaves a wife and a large
of children. He was buried
in New Paris on Saturday last.
How much may be accomplished by
untiring industry is shown by the ex-
OF a young man of San Fran
cisco. He went to Virginia City, rep
resented that he was a clergyman,
made the acquaintance of thirty per-
sons, borrowed money from each to
an aggregate of $1,7OO, and ran away,
all within a week. Young man, take
courage.
The large frame barn on the farm
of Mrs. Woody, 4 mile northeast of
was destroyed by fire on Sum
day evening last, together with about
fifteen tons of hay, some oats and 9TH
er personal property. The stock was
all saved. AS there was no member
of the family about the building with
light or fire, it was evidently the work
of an incendiary. There vas an in
surance of $1,000 in the Miami VAL
the barn, which will very nearly
cover the loss.
We have received a copy of "THE
ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF THE CEN
rENN1AL EXHIBITION" from the Ma
Publishing Co., Philadelphia,
Pa, by JAS. D. MoCABE, which is
beautifully illustrated, well written
and a very interesting and instructive
Tho book will be sold by sub
scription only, and as an Agent is
wanted in every county, here is an OPP
portunity for some energetic young
man to make some money, as the book
will sell like hot cakes. Address,
National Publishing Co., Philadel-
phia, Pa.
Persons travelling from this section
of country and going west, should be
sure and make it convenient to strike
the Kansas Pacific or indianapolis,
Bloomington and Western Railway.
These are good safe roads, and under
the management of gentlemen who
understand the necessities and wants
of the travelling public, and spare no
pains to make every thing pleasant
and comfortable. The officers adver-
tise their roads which proves they are
the "right men in the right place."
See their advs.
Pay no attention to slanderers or
gossip-mongers. Keep straight on
your course, and lettheir back-bitings
die the death of neglect. What is the
use of getting into a worry and fret
over gossip that has been set aloat to
your disadvantage, by some meddle-
some busy body, who has more time
than character? These things can't
possibly injure you, unless you take
notice of them, and, in combating
them, give them character and stand
ing. If a bee stings you, would you
go into a hive and destroy it? Would
not a thousand come upon you? II
is wisdom to say little respecting the
injuries You have received. We are
generally losers in the end, if we stop
to refute all the back-bitings and Cos
we may hear by the way. Let
us bear in mind that calumniators may
usually be trusted to time and the
slow but steady justice of public op-
inion.
