The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says
Two members of the Sportsman's Club
were out on deer hunt the other day.
Coming to a thicket that looked like an
excellent covert for game of all kinds,
particularly deer, they separated and
began beating the bush. In short
time one Of the hunters heard a cracking
Of sticks, and saw a dun-colored object,
with what he took for the antlers OF an
enormous buck, running through the
thicket. He blazed away. and called to
his companion, who also fired, and down
dropped the game, as dead as a door
nail. One of them started Immediately
for a granger s. house near by to procure
a wagon to haul the deer, while the other
sat down under a tree to wait. In the
course of an hour the nimrod returned,
accompanied by the farmer, who drove
the wagon. On looking at the animal,
the farmer at once recognized his old
dun mule, that had served him faithfully
for fifteen years. The sportsmen paid
the farmer S35 apiece, and without hunt

On Friday last we received from our
sister. Eleanor Smith, of Ottumwa, Iowa
letter enclosing the following, cut from
the Ottumwa Courier:
Nathaniel Kimberlin, a soldier of the
war of 1872 died January 5th, in Wayne
county, where he had lived for a quarter
OF a century, aged over 81 years.
Mr.. Kimberlin was a brother of the
mother Of the editor of this paper, and
an uncle-of Elijah Kimberlin, Clerk OF
Mason county, West Virginia. We had
not heard from our uncle for thirty
years. He served under Gen Harrison
in the war of 1912, and reached his home,
on the Kanawha, crossing the Ohio river
on the ice, only short time before it
broke up.
Mr.. Kimberlin was never married He
was a boatman on the Ohio river in the
days of keel boats and fat boats, before
the day of steamers. He is Of a long
lived family. his mother being over 90 at
the time Of her death.

The Hamden Leader gives an account
of lively row near Macarthur Station, a
few miles. above Hamden. in which a
doggery keeper named Matt. Slosser, a
section hand named Pat. Heaiy, woman
named Hafferty, and Slosser's wife, took
part. The parties had been at a dance
at the house of one Henry Hoffhines,
and were perhaps all drunk. Slosser
beat Heafy over the head with gun un-
til his head was badly bruised.
As is too often the case, unfortunately
none of them were killed.

There is a strike of the coal miners at
Pomeroy. They have been getting II
cents per bushel, and they now ask p
cents. The owners say they are not able
to pay that price. The hands have quit,
and the salt works, rolling mills, &C.,
have had to stop, and many men are thus
thrown out Of work
Now let the proprietors advertise for
hands ct Il cents, and if men from other
places are willing to work for that price,
all right If not, we presume the higher
price viii be paid. That is tie way to
regulate demand and supply.

Some months ago there was a nasty
newspaper quarrel in Chillicothe, be-
tween Armstrong, of the Register, and
Brownlee, of the Advertiser. Brownlee
got SO far ahead that Armstrong could no
longer stand it, and he went to the Ad-
yertiser Office, and in most cowardly
manner, attempted to shoot Brownlee.
Last week the Grand Jury found an in
dictment against Armstrong, containing
two counts, both for Penitentiary often
ses. Armstrong ought to have been in
the Penitentiary years ago. Perhaps no
other community save that of Chillicothe,
would have tolerated a man in their
midst of so notorious character.

The Sandy Valley Guard, in speaking
Of our article about Kentucky. says:
II Miss Webster, or any other person,
was ever sent to tho penitentiary for
teaching negroes, (Which we doubt), it
was done for the violation of the law Of
this State.
There need be no doubt about the case
of Miss Webster. We admit. and so
stated, that the laws of Kentucky made
it penitentiary offense to teach colored
children to read. But what shall we
think of people who could enact and
enforce laws so hellish. Well did Col.
Ingersoll express it when he said the
laws Of the shareholders would disgrace
the statute books of hell. And here is a
