FRACTIONAL NOTES.

had kept us, these many years, from coming
in contact with our widely known fellow citi
zen, Mr.. J. c. HagermaR, known in many
quarters and regarded with favor, as Dem
ocratic candidate for honors GubernatiOnal
We have missed something in not knowing
Hagerman. There is a certain bright CLEAN
in his eyes, and healthy tint in his complex
ion which betokens the man of sympathy and
the politician of suavity and resource. A
likely man to capture a cross road meeting
and set the boys to work with a will at a
County Convention, is this same brisk and
bustling Hagerman. He was on his way to
Storey when we saw him yesterday and
seemed in thoroughly good health and the
bravest of brave spirits. II we must have a
Locofoco for Governor let's have Hagerman!
If we were so lost as to be Democrat we'd
vote for him.
FOR life.
Yesterday morning Sheriff Sias Of Eureka
county brought in for delivery at the State
Prison, ALI Chartz, the unfortunate man who
killed young Richard at Eureka. 1t was a
needless murder, born of false notions of
personal dignity and the imperative duty of
resentment. Richard was engaged to be
married. The Eureka Republican insisted
upon mentioning the event to Richards an
noyance 1t was offensive to his sweetheart,
he said; and if so he had right to complain.
Finally he sent hot, coarse missive contain
ing a conditional threat and All epithet Then
Chart, big stout man that he is, went and
armed himself When the two met Richard
started to take off his coat for fist fight.
Chartz then like TASTY and not over valor-
Gus fool, shot him, dead. The shooting was
wholly unnecessary and not at all i'll the line
of courageous or self protective action. And
now this man, with the self accusations of
murderer forever upon HIM, is consigned to
the Penetentiary for hte. 1t is too bad-too
bad that young man of good parts, decently
reared and fairly educated to business should
thus throw away life of usefulness for
nothing. And now let the question be asked
and answered, where will this pistol carrying,
pistol shooting, pistol numbering practice end!
1t is the most egregous folly of these disjoint-
ed tmes,-this resort to violence for trivial
causes.
PAINFUL CASE,
On Friday or Saturday last party of chill
dren were playing on the premises of Mr..
Frank Davis, south of town, near the Genoa
road. One of these children, BERTHE Merrill,
a beautiful little girl of about twelve years of
age, after jumping and frolicking with the
rest, complained of an acute pain in one OF
her knees. Some applications were made to
the parts as for sprain, but the pain con-
tinuing and the limb swelling, Doctors White
and Waters were called in 1t proved to be a
very puzzling case. The child was in dread
full agony and the swelling had extended over
the whole of the affected side and up to the
shoulder and arm. In was finally concluded
that she had been stung or bitten by some
poison distilhng insect or reptile; and this
seems to be the case. Night before last and
yesterday there seemed but little hope that
poor BERTHE would live. She was somewhat !
easier yesterday but the symptoms were far
from encouraging. Mrs. Davis, Berries
alarmed and afflicted mother will accept our
heartiest sympathy.
Mr.. Laycock was engaged yesterday on
garden scene which promises to be very |
handsome He was good enough to show us
his sketches of an interior palace scene, and
the "tormentors" as the stationary front
stage paintings are termed. We are very
certain that under his hands the Opera House
stage will be handsomely provided with
scenery.
Rev. Geo. Bicknell, of the First Universal
list Church, of Portland, Maine, preached,
as it was announced he would, at the Metho-
dist Church on Sunday night. The text was
from Ecclesiastes "Hold thy foot" The
manner and matter of the discourse were
highly acceptable. The house was filled to
its utmost capacity. We are glad to see that
a written request is circulating, asking Mr.
Bicknell to favor our townspeople with
lecture of his own selecting before his return
to the Atlantic States Sometime since he
delivered to the great satisfaction of many
hearers, discourse entitled Enthusiasm"
and it is not unlikely that he will, if he re-
spends affirmatively to this invitation, deliver
that lecture here, in our new Opera House.
