Suicide.

On last Saturday evening LEON
lizard HELMsTETTER, a German butch
er from the city of Dayton, drove in
to Eaton, put up his horse and buggy
at the livery stable of Mr.. Oxer, paid
for his supper, lodging and breakfast
at the Union Hotel, and retired about
10 o'clock at night. Next morning he
was found dead hanging at the post
of his couch, the deed being commit
ted by taking his butcher apron and
making a moose out of it. Gashes
were cut in each wrist, which leaves
the impression that his first attempt
at suicide was to bleed to death, but
failing in this he resorted to strangu-
~lation. He was about 35 years Of age,
leaves a wife and two children, was
in moderate circumstances but very
disipated, and from all outward APP
~pearances was laboring under an at
tack of MANIA PoRTU when he COM
mitted the deed. The Coroner sum-
moned a jury and verdict was rem
dered in accordance with the above
facts. His father-in-law, JOHN KAY
LoR, of the city of Dayton, arrived
here on Monday morning and con-
veyed the body of the deceased to its
home for interment. He appeared to
be Indifferent as to the fate of his SON.

overalls 40 and soc at JOS. woerner's,


The close of Mr.. GEORGE BRoUsE's
school in DEEMS District, about a mile
north of the Infirmary, OIL Friday of
last week, was a very enjoyable occas-
ion. There was a large audience pres
ent, and the boys and girls acquitted
themselves nobly. The people of the
district gave a free dinner to the entire
crowd, and it was an ample generous
one. Several speakers were there by
special invitation, and after the regular
examination exercises, short and STIR
ring addresses were made by Rev. MI.
Huddle, Levi Risinger, George Early,
John Risinger, l.. G. Abbott, and the
teacher, Mr.. Brouse, which were at
tentively listened to by the crowd.
There was excellent music by the
Young brothers and Charles Engle,
which added much to the interest of the
occasion. The common schools of our
county have a firm hold upon the affec-
tions of our people, and well they may
have, for they are truly the colleges of
the people and are doing a noble work.
We cannot too highly commend the
growing interest and enthusiasm Of
their supporters. We are proud of our
teachers, proud Of their success, and
are glad that the children of to-day,
when they leave the various schools of
our county to perform the duties which
mrst devolve upon intelligent man
hood and ~womanhood, will go forth
with THAR hearts filled with pleasant
memories and high hopes that they
will have a developed intelligence to
see the right and the moral courage to
pursue it. At night there were recita-
items, declarations, dialogues, a ci-
phering match, &C., at the same place.
We congratulate the teacher, the pupils
and their parents, upon the interest
and success of the day. Nay it fore
shadow continued success.
Mr.. Brouse Immediately resumes
work in the Sugar Valley School.

Temperance.

Mr.. Francis Murphy, the great apos-
tie of temperance, and the originator
of the "blue ribbon movement" says
that the Society for the Suppression
of Vice does more harm than good to
the cause of temperance, by its prose-
cutions and prosecutions of the re-
spectacle liquor dealers. He is also
credited with having said in Bridge
port, Conn.,, that the prohibitionists
there had done more harm by one
prosecution than they could undo in
two years. The circumstances in the
latter case were briefly these: A
grocerer of high character and stand
ing was indicted for selling liquor.
On the trial it vas proved that he had
sold two bottles of ale and two of clar-
ct to a young lady, daughter of q reg
ular customer who desired them to
entertain some friends from New
York. 1t was also shown that when
she first applied for them she was re-
fused and that they were only sold
her on q physicians prescription. The
grocer testified that he was in favor
of the law and had obeyed it until he
found the druggists around him SELL
ing liquor on prescriptions; found
that they were not prosecuted, and
was told by the prosecuting officer,
that they would not be proceeded
against, whereupon he felt justified in
following their example. He was
and Mr.. Murphy, who was
in town, made the remark quoted
We agree with Mr.. Murphy. who
seems to monopolize most of the
sense of the temperance advocates.
Man may be made temperate or 9TH
erwise moral by argument OF by per-
suasion, but never by legal enactment.
A p%rohibitory law is a constant Temp
tation to men to drink to excess, just
as a high tariff is a temptation to
smuggling. Give us q fair and just
license law, and then trust to men like
MI. Murphy to stop men from drink
ing. That is the only practical way
to stop the liquor trafc, and that is
one to which the liquor dealers them
will not object. Persecution
only defeats its own ends, for it is a
truth of universal application that
'sthe blood of the martyrs is the seed
of the Church." and men are like bull
more you pound them, the
they hold on.
