Naming the BABY.

What shall we name the baby?" is
an important question this year, for the
crop. like the wheat, was never better.
1t is rather soon to grade them as +" No.
L, No. 2, or rejected" and your head
and reputation are both safer to pro-
nounce the entire lot No. /; but the
question as to names must be settled at
once. One would think nothing was
easier than naming the baby, for the
world has been full of names for 5000
years, yet it is subject that elicits the
gravest discussion in the family, and
reaches out to the advisory board" of
the neighborhood, and often ends in
open dissatisfaction, or a compromise

The expectation of finding gold in
paying quantities in New Guinea ap-
pears to be unfounded, the party which
sailed from Sydney in the C6!onist in
April last having met with but little sue
cess. Many hardships and a great
amount of sickness were experienced,
and the gold was in quantity scarcely
greater than is to be found in almost
any part Of Australia. 1t is thought,
however, that the valuable forest trees,
such as sandalwood and ebony, and the
possibility of establishing spice planta
uons, as also the abundance of cinna-
mon, nutmeg, sago, and cocoanuts, will
probably induce an emigration to tha
country.

An old gentleman who was living with
his sixth wife, and had always been no
ted for the ease with which he managed
bis spouses, on being asked to commu-

simplest thing in the world. If you
want to use a woman up, just let her
have her own way in everything all the
time. There was never a woman born
who could survive that long"

A RAILROAD COMBINATION.

A st. Louis dispatch of Dec. 9th says:
1t is announced here that negotiations
for the consolidation Of the Chicago
Alton and st. Louis, Kansas City and
Chicago railroads are in progress, and
have advanced so far that the consum-
nation of the project may be predicted
with safety. The completion of aroad
which will give the latter line a connec-
ton with Omaha, it is said, is about all
that delays the carrying out of the plan.
The consolidation will bring 1,500 miles
of railroad under one management.

ANOTHER PoOR-HoUsE FIRE.

A dispatch from Davenport, Iowa,
Dec. 9th, says the Washington county
poor-house was burned Sunday after
noon with all its contents, and 5 of the
26 inmates. The fire was not discover
ed in time to make any effort to save
property. The superintendent, Mr..
Robertson, IN his endeavors to rescue
the inmates nearly lost his own life,
being finally carried from the building
insensible. His wife was sick with lung
fever and is now in dangerous condi-
ton from excitement and exposure.
Loss to property from S., 900 to $4,000;
insurance, $4,000.

Surprise parties, birthday parties, and
marriage anniversaries seem to be the or
der of the day. We can scarcely take up
a neighboring exchange and fail to find
an account of some one of these fashion
able and pleasant reunions of relatives,
friends and neighbors. 1t is little Curl
Gus to see the ingenious strategems that
are resorted to, to surprise the intended
victims of an unexpected visitation at
their hands, and we are apprehensive
that our friend Capt. John FL. Parrett, of
Good Hope, is not altogether innocent of
playing off little of game of this kind on
our old friend, Mr.. Adam Nebergall and
his good wife, on Thursday last.
Under some pretence, and with neigh
borly kindness, Mr.. Parrett and wife in
| duced Mrs. Nebergan to take ride with
them TO Greenfield, while Mr.. N. was
| busily engaged in his farm work in an
obscure place on his farm, neither of them
having the least suspicion of the innocent
prank that was to be played upon them,
until they returned to their home
to dinner, when they found their prem
ises surrounded by buggies, and their
residence besieged by not hostile array,
but by friends and neighbors, greeting
them with happy smiles and anxious in
| quiries for their physical condition. Then
| for the first time the thought that it was
the Saith marriage anniversary of Adam
Nebergall and his wife, Mrs. Eliza Neb-
ergall. On entering the dining-room
they were further surprised to find their
table literally laden with all the edibles
that comprise most capital dinner. AS
this was not a basket dinner, it is but
justice to Mr.. Emmett King and his wife,
Mrs. Emma King, son-in-law and daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Nebergall, to say that
this splendid dinner arrangement is due
to their excellent taste and skill. After
dinner poem was read by Rev. j. w.
Wakefield, written for the occasion, and
prayer offered by Rev. John Barrett
The whole programme was admirably
arranged and carried out to the letter
and it has seldom been our good fortune
to have been participant in a more So
cial, pleasant and home-like occasion
than this. It was, in truth, happy re-
union of relatives, neighbors and friends
and we hope that these old friends whC
are on the inclined plane of life, may en-
joy the remnant of their days in good
health and happiness, and live to witness
many more surprise wedding anniversa-
ries.
Those who were present and partici
pated in the pleasures of the occasion
were DIR. Baker and wife, VIM. A. Kins
and wife, Rev. J. W. Wakefield and wife
Rev. John Barrett, VIM. Thomas and wife
G. B. Thomas and family, H. c. Parret
and wife, Mrs. Ann D. Parrett, Mrs. j
Parrett, Miss Maggie J. Parrett, John Fl
Parrett and wife, 10. Parrett, Mollie Par
rett and Sallie Parrett, Emmett King an,

Gen. Joe Geiger. NAV %.

The date for Gen. Geiger's lecture on
''Fools and Follies. - has been changed to
Thursday, May I'd, at Music Hall, on
which occasion he should be favored with
a full house. No one who appreciates
real wit and genuine humor can afford to
miss hearing this lecture. We clip the
following brief extracts from an article
in the o. S. Journal, commenting on
recent lecture of Gen. Geiger in Column
bus:
GAS a humorous lecturer General Gel
ger may be pronounced a success. While
humor was the prominent feature last
night, creating frequent ripples of merrf-
ment which ran through the audience,
yet it was not free from solid and serious
lessons, which would often crop out at the
conclusion of some well pointed and strik-
ing illustration. 1t would be impossible
here, as it is in all such lectures, to give
anything like thorough synopsis with
out doing the speaker injustice. To do
GESTURE, in fact, to be appreciated in its
full light, the lecture should be heard.
'The speaker found fools, or at least
those who made fools of themselves, in
| all the departments of life as we'll as in
! the private pursuits of business. Charac-
ters were selected from high stations as
well as the low, to illustrate the follies of
| certain courses of action. In many in
stances bright and worthy men were made
| to loom up in full proportions, while suf-
! fering a comparison with the follies OF
| those whose lives terminated less success
| fully.'

OBITUARY.

DABRAH COCHRAN was born November 18th, 1oO2,
in the State of New Jersey; died March l7th 1873,
aged 20 years.
She came with her parents to Ohio in 1906, and
settled in this county before its permanent organ
ization. Her parents were religious; and, at set
tling were advised of the necessity of the use of
liquors, in order to success in improvements; but
they, with few other pioneer families, denounced
its use. They saw still-houses go up around them
and receive support. They opened their doors for
the worship of God. They prospered, found favor
with all the people, and afforded help without
the supposed necessity. The members of the fam
ily early in life, became religious. The deceased
held an unbroken connection with the Church for
more that so years; she lived to the little class
to which she first belonged large and prosperous
one; she saw the still-houses go down, and saw a
large and beautiful Church erected near her faith
er's old homestead, and named in honor of her
family circle, and because of their religious infu-
