A man giving his name as John
W. Williams, Of Greenbush, Preble
county, Ohio, is in Jail at Mobiles
vile, Ind, charged with attempting
to violate the person of a little girl
thirteen or fourteen years cd. The
little girl tells a horrible story of
beastly, ,fiendish cruelty, too revolt

name is Bertha Lantis, a daughter of
Kate and Levi Lantis, and a grand
daughter of Catherine Tiloerry. That
her mother, Williams and herself

at Montezuma, Indiana, since which

in fact know, that no man can be
elected who is not in sympathy with

we do not forget "the Butler Poney.n

The political campaign of New
Hampshire, the home of VIM. E.
Chandler, was inaugurated on the
9Th of this month, at which date the
Republicans held their conven-
ton. The Democrats follow with
theirs in about a fortnight. Great
interest will attach to the doings of
both conventions. One will show
whether the Republicans are ready
to follow the lead of William E.
Chandler and denounce Mr.. Hayes,
and the other whether the Democrats
nean to defend his Southern policy
and sink the question of his title.
The indications are that the Rapub-
iicans will turn their backs upon the
Administration and Civil Service
Reform. Governor Prescott will be
renominated by the Republicans, in
accordance with the custom of Civ.
ing Governors a second term. Last
year the Republican majority was
about l, 500. The election takes
place in March, and the result is re
garded as doubtful.

severe Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneu-

diseases. No person can use it without
Immediate relief. Three doses will re-
lieve any case, and we consider it the
duty Of all Druggists to recommend it
to the poor dying consumptive, at least
to try M bottle, as 10000 dozen bot
ties were sold last year, and no one
case where it failed was reported. Such
a medicine as the GERMAN SYRUP can
not be too widely known. Ask your

The license law of Indiana requires
each saloon keeper to give bonds
of 50, 600 to keep an orderly house,

Sunday, nor any election day, nor
on a holiday. No liquor q be sold
to a person who is in the habit of be-
coming intoxicated, or after notice is
served by his friends forbidding the
sale to him. Public drunkenness is
made a misdemeanor; selling with
out license is punishable by fine and
imprisonment; selling to "a minor is
made a penal ofense, and the minor
who mi represents his age is also to
be punished; the adulteration of liq-
uor or selling such liquor as above,
is prohibited; if a saloon is kept in a
disorderiy manner, it shall be deem

saloon keepers are made personally
liable on their bond, to any person
who may sustain any injury or dam

Rem WADE


II is an old saying that 'the mills
of the gods grind slow, but they
grind exceedingly fine. We see by
some of u exchanges that honest
chief old BEN WADE, will be in all
probability run for Congress in tie
old ashtabula District, in opposi-
ton to the blatant, safeguarding,
Credit Mohilier, GARFIELD. When
old JOHN Quincy ADAMS went back
to the House in his old days he be-
came its central figure. Hon.
THOMAS H BENTON, after his thirty
years in the Senate, did his great
FAME no discredit, when he repre-
sentcd the interests of the people in
in the lower branch. Much as we
may have in the past, differed from
the old war horse of the Reserve upon
the existing questions, we will here
say, he has maintained a character
for official integrity and manly indie
pendcnce which are alike worthy of
honor, whether found in political
friend or opponent, and while he will
doubtless, in the future, as in the
past, stand firmly by the national
honor in all matters of contract, he
will never forget the noble sentiments
which he eloquently expressed in
behalf of the people, when he found
the money sharks clamoring for more
than their just dues. Let the ole
champion of the people come to the
front again in old ashtabula.
