4 Dogs Suicide,

One Of the most remarkable incidents
going Ia show the affection Of dun ami
mails for those who care for them. oc-
Cured in this city u few days since.
Our readers will remember the drown
ing last sunday of the little Siy-ycar-
old boy, Dany. The child had a little
and PLAYMATE. When the accident oc-
Cured which resulted in the drowning
Of the boy, the dog was with him, and
and 10y his strange conduct and uneasi-
ness, he attracted the attention Of those
present. While the boy was living in
the bottom If the stream the dog would
run to the childs mother, and then to-
ward the place where the boy was sup
posed to be. and finally plugged in and
swan around over the spot where his
title master lay. After the body had
been placed in the coffin the dog mani
tested a strong desire Ia see the child.
and when the lid of the coffin was rails
cd he licked the dead face. and seemed
to feel intense grief. In a short time
the dog went out to the railroad track
and laid down upon the road, rs il had
done many times before; but upon the
approach of the train he laid himself
on the rail. and deliberately allowed the
train Ia pass over his hody-heing kill
ed. The whole actions Of the dog were
such rs To convince one that il was gov
erned by reasoning powers. and is an
other illustration of the remarkable
love or attachment that some animals
have for their masters, The mother, at
the time of the drowning, supposed tho
child was at home. and therefore negt
lected to obey the hint given by tho
dog that might have saved the boy's
life.-Lincoln (Neb.J Journal.

One would suppose from the style of
the Herald articles of last week that
they had been prepared previous to the
publication of the JOURNAL, and were
written on the supposition that the JOUR
NAL would be terribly abusive in its ar
ticles on the printing question. The
consequence is tho Herald's old style of
charging the JOURNALS articles as being
filed with "vindIctive spite and malice
and foul and putrid bile," etc, seem
very, very silly, in this particular in
stance. When tho JOURNAL tells the with
concerning some dirty action with which
tho Herald is connected-then comes
that paper charging the JOURNAL with
"vindictive spite and malice" and all
those endearing terms. And the Her.
aid says nothing of the Advocate arti,
cles upon this question. Why is this?
We have had our say upon the ques-
ton OF the disposal of the county print
ing. The Herald OF last week does not
even attempt to deny that there was
some very dirty work done by Buell.
and his assistants.

was. Mr.. Cobb has since denied that

HOW 1T LOOKS ACROSS THE WATER.

While everything has pointed to the
conclusion that the European compli-
cations were at last to be settled i'm
medlately there is yet nothing very
definite reported. At first it was ru-
mored that the Porte had accepted the
Russian conditions, and that peace was
regarded as virtually concluded. Mean
while a report comes that up to 9
o'clock Sunday night the Porte had no
advice of the conclusion of an armistice,
although orders had been telegraphed
on Friday to accept the preliminaries
of peace. On the strength of the sup
position that Russia and Turkey are
arranging for peace upon conditions
published below, or terms similar to
them, other European powers begin to
express their opinions. Germany in
sists that the terms must be submitted
to the powers for approval. France
and Austria are hostile, and Greece is
greatly angered. OF course to the war
party of England the prospect for peace
seems all wrong, and Beaconsfield and
his friends see that the proper occasion
tor English interference is long since
gone. The markets of the world are
greatly disturbed, and commerce and
business are greatly suffering. The
London Post publishes the following as
an ofiicialversion of the preliminary
conditions of peace
Ffrst-Autonomy for Bulgaria (bourd.
aries not defined,) under Governor
to be appointed according to the stipu-
lations of the Constantnople confer
ence. Tho Turkish military forces to
be- withdrawn to certain localities TO be
determined upon.
Second-The independence Of Rou-
mania, with compensation for territory
near the mouth of the Danube, which
she will make over to Russia.
Thnd-Local autonomy for Bosnia
and Herzegovina, and the independence
of Servia with territorial rectification,
This rectifcation of Servian frontier
mar mean the transfer OF Little Zworink
to Servia, but in Difference to Austria
and other powers, the question rs left
quite open.
Fomth-Aggrandizemet tor Montene-
gro on the basis of the statu quo post
bellum, subject to the approval of the
powers.
FYrh-The cession of Batoum and
the payment of indemnity money, ter
ritory, or the same equivalent, to be de-
termined upon.
Fsnaliy-The Sultan to undertake TO
consider how to protect Russian interests
in the passage Of the Dardanelles.

BrOOkVille fine Point for Establishing
Manufacturing Interests.

EDITORS JOURNAL.-We wish to call
attention to long neglected need in
our western business enterprise, viz:
establishing of manufacturing interests
at home. But two great interests are
at present absorbing the energies of
our people; these are agricultural and
mercantile pursuits. Rich soil and
cheap lands IN this country have in
duced this state of things, and tho re.
suit is that we are dependent on tho
east for all Of our manufactured articles,
sending our money there to pay for the
products and skill of eastern capital
and labor, thus aiding to build up cities
and towns in the Atlantic States, and
increasing monied monopolies, these to
the neglect Of our own interests. Tar
if rates over our lines of railroad, we
have been taxed TO construct, are SO
high as to practically forbid shipping
our grain to seaboard; but by our own
neglect to establish manufactures of
various kinds, We are obliged to pur-
chase our manufactured goods of them.
Our money therefore is sent out of the
country to pay for what VIC ought to
have produced here, and the interchange
of trade is so unequal, that but mere
triie Of The money ever returns. Times
must be hard, while this exists. The
necessity is upon us to create as far as
possible supply tor our own use.
Brookville possesses natural advantages
tor manufacturing enterprise. Her To-
cation, the good farming country around
her, and one Of the greatest through
railroad lines, together with opportuni-
ties for cheap homes and cheap living
for operatives, hold out great induce
ments for such establishments. A large
and permanent town can be thus built
up on this most beautiful location. AS
town increases in population, trade
increases, the money that labor brings
in is kept at homo. A manufacturing
town is moro permanent than o COM
mercial one. When trade is diverted,
which is often done, from place de-
pendent fer its prosperity on mercantile
pursuits, the town naturally dies. Not
so, however, in towns where capital is
created. Suppose business is started
here that employs one hundred men.
These men have families and homes
among us; these families trade with our
merchants and grocers, and our farmers
also find a better home market, and all
branches of trade are quickened into
new activity by it. o. X.

General Butler explains the gradua

General Butler explains the gradual
and steady decline in gold within the
last few weeks by the fact that there is
no demand for gold to pay duties with,
importation having almost entirely sus-
pended on account of the revision of the
tariff. The receipts for customs are
smaller for the current month than for
many years. Merchants who have goods
on hand refuse to take them out until
they know whether the duties are to be
changed or not.
