An Incident of the Inauguration.

In charge of Mrs. Hayes, as her cice-
rome Mrs. Sherman, wife Of John Sherman,
sat in demure importance in the Senate gall
lery. Next to her the placid face OF Mrs.
Hamilton Fish, the mistress Ofthe state depart
ment, held small court. AS the floor began

Mrs. Hayes arms crOwed with childish pleas
ure, as, pulling his mothers chin, who has
turned her head TO speak with a neighbOr, he

a little, and bending her head down to the
little boy, whispers what may have been a
rebuke, for he pouts moment, but, return
ing to the object OF his curiosity, points to a
dazzling group which have just entered and
taken seats ON the lett and rear of the Presi-
dents desk. Mamma looks down with inter-
est and explains that "dey" is General in
Chief Sherman, his staff, and Gems Hancock
and Terry. They are arrayed in grandeur un-
speakable. The grim Sherman is fairly COW
cred and buried in gold, his angular outlines
wholly lost in broad sash of cloth OF gold
flung obliquely over his narrow chest and
shoulders, his waist encased in a glittering
belt and upon his shoulders perfect nest oil
gold and tassels, stars and gliding. Nor
were his aids less gorgeous in general or de-
tail. Their fine forms were plastered with
cords and tassels OF bullion, forminga perfect
taDgle OF glittering eOrdage around the neck,
shoulders and waist. General Terry, chang
ed but little in appearance since his first APP
pearance here in 1866 at the grand review
was the only figure whose profuse ornamental
ton did not suggest a burlesque. Tall and
straight as an arrow, the gold cords and re-
splendent insignia OF his rank rather relieved
the melancholy hue OF an infantry officers
uniform OF dark blue. Hancock, gray and
sOldier-liEe, has changed a good deal. He
was the centre of attraction for the batteries OF
glasses in the keeping of the feminine pla-
tOOns that filed the gallery. His hair las be-
come perfectly white, and as he sat broad and
burly beside Sherman the contrast was mark
ed. Without so much gold on his person,
the bulkiness OF his figure gave more prOmi-
nence TO his decoration.

ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A
WEALTHY MEDINA COUNTY
FARMER.

SHARON, September 2O.-Having occa-
sion to visit Hinckley on Tuesday last, we
found excitement at fever heat over the
recent attempt to murder Robert Whip,
the wealthest and most extensive land
holder of that township. The particulars,
so far as we could learn, are substantially
as follows:
Robert Whip is man Of apparently 90
years of age, weighs $50 pounds, and
through his we'll known miserly habits
mas accumulated one eighth of Hin nckley
township, or 1000 acres. His first wife
died last year, and this summer he mar.
ried a fair but tickle young widow by the
name of Rachel Kuder, with whom he
has since lived in any way but pleasant
manner, and, to quote in substance the
old mans story, she has frequently
threatened to "shut off his wind if he
didn't look out"
On Saturday night last, for the first
time since they we're married, she asked
him if he "hadn't better 60 to bed" say.
ing that "they had better keep the light
burning, as she didn't feel very we'll"
Mr.. Whip complied, and on entering the
bed thought he smelt something very
peculiar about the room, which he has
demonstrated to have been caused by
chloroform. After lying perhaps half an
hour, his room was violently entered by
two men who grasped him. flung him on
the floor, and told him they were going
to hang him up in the barn, at the same
time trying to throw rope around his
neck. At this moment Mr.. Whip says he
seemed endowed with almost supernatur-
al strength, and thrusting his would.be
assassins aside, made his exit through the
door to neighbor's house near by. 1t
was undoubtedly preconCerted plan to
hang him up in the barn, give the case
the appearance of suicide, and place his
property in his wife's hands. Whip
swears one of the men was his wife's
brother, and he has since been arrested,
and will be be examined in Medina to.
day. G.
LATER,-We since learn that the exam
ination took place on Thursday resulting
iE binding the accused over to Court in
the sum Of $1,000. The excitement is
great.

The Inporfant Question.

Of all loathsome diseases Catarrh stands
pre-eminent. 1t renders its victim as dis
gusting to himself as to others. And the
most humiliating of all is the consciousness
that his presencels offensive to those around
him. If any disease deserves the name of
universal, it is this. Dietetic errors and the
follles which Fashion imposes upon us tend
to foster and disseminate it. To the pitiful
cry OF Its victims, is there any cure for Ca
tdTrh? there is but one answer consistent
with Christian reason. God has never sent
one evil into the world for which he has not
sent the remedy. For tire greatest of all
spiritual and moral evils, the Great Physi-
clan has prescribed potent and neyer-fail-
ing remedy. He has given explicit rules
for the treatment and preservation of the
spiritual and moral man, but He is silent in
| all matters relating to the physical man. 1t
would be an unwarrantable detraction from
His benehcert character to suppose that He
has afflicted the greater portion of humanity
with an incurable disease. The day of
plaques is past. The God of Christianity is
God of Love, of Mercy, His message is
"good will to all men," The earth and all
contained therein was intended by the great
Designer to supply mans wants; and surely
he has no greater wants than remedies for
| his inhrmitles. Science is rapidly proving
that the earth is fitted to supply mans utter.
most need. New medicinal plants are con-
stantly being discovered and new properties
developed from those already known. For
Catarrh, the most potent remedy yet discov.
cred is DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. Its
efficacy has been tested in many Thousand
cases with uniform success. Cases that had
been repeatedly pronounced incurable
readily yielded to it. In confirmed, or obsti
nate cases, DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis

THE inventors of BURNETT'S COCAINE
knowing that when the loss of hair occurs, it
is generally from that part of the head where
the greatest heat is necessarily generated,
and that animal fats by their nature induce
heat rather than alleviate it-turned their at
tention and pharmaceutical science toward
vegetable oils, as the basis of pedicamentt to
promote the growth and preserve the beauty
of the hair. The 0leum c0cOS, or COCOANUT
OIL, presented itself most strongly, as pos
sessing many properties peculiarly adapted
for the pure ose; but its odor was objection
able, and its density Except when exposed
to heat) seemed for long time to defy all ef-
forts to render it available, for popular use,
in cooler climates. By scientific selection
of other ing edients, those which will chem
ically combine with the oil have been discov-
cred, and they together have produced a
compound, which is unqualifedly pro-
| nounccd to be the best that has yet appeared.
In the form presented, this oil is perma.
nently GeodoriZed, and held in combination
which peculiarly adapts it for the toilet; BUR-
NETT'S COCAINE is unrivaled in delicacy
and leness-cooling in its nature
and possesses such penetrating affinity for
the secretions of the skin, that it is rapidly
absorbed.
Its greatest efficacy is best secured by a
perfect cleansing, before its application, of
| the hair and scalp, under which circum-
stances this oil aAays Irritation, renaoves, all
tendency to dandrut, and invigorates the &c.
tiom of the capillaries in the highest degree.
Its effects upon the glossiness and richness
Of the hair is such as cannot be surpassed
and it is offered to the public in the firm be-
lief that it only requires to be known to
supercede ell other preparations. We are
confident that no one who will make trial
of its efficacy will be willing to return to the
use of any other preparatian.

GERMANTowN Telegraph: Sheep rails
ing is annually increasing all over the
country. Farmers are beginning to find
there is nothing more profitable, in a
general sense, than good flock of sheep.
They require very small outlay, when
once flock is started, and yet the pro-
duct of wool, meat and manure is of
very considerable Importance. To avoid
the principal objection to sheep raising
by many farmers, the dog, corral
should be constructed near the barn CT
in the most convenient point ON the
farm, where the flock should be herded
nightly during the year, and thus be
protected against the most worthless and
disgusting of animals-the sheep dog
which seldom make their attacks by day
and when they do they can be readily
shot.
AN Illinois farmer thus tells how tc
raise tobacco plants: Take some of the
seeds that you want to SOW and throw
them on live fire Goals, and, if they pop
they are good; then burn big brush
pile, OR log heap, about the time the
ground is thawing out in February OF
March. Then dig up the ground anc
pulverize it we'll; rake the bed level
and sow the seed; then brush in the seed
with brush by hand; then tramp the
ground hard and smooth, and cover the
bed thin with fine brush, to keep off the
frost and reflect the heat of the sun. 1
any leaves or trash blow on the bed
take them off. After the frost is ove-
take off the brush also. If the ground
4 gets too dry, water it, and if any grass
or weeds come up in the bed, pull them
out
