Mrs. farley kind Of show inside. Luclus
Go Wild Hsines of the NeiOS is hired Tor

Color els wife Is manager. A prominent
man said the other day that he was OPP
posed TO Taylor Tor the reason that Mrs.
T. would be the Congressman If he
were elected. That objection is not well
taken. McPhers)n is oihng the axle

for bad roads; while Simons is in q 'one-

A MINISTERIAL SCANDAL.
Rev. w. A. Chsltant, a conspicuous
United Brethren clergyman of our su.
burban neighborhood, who Was recently
accused of adultery with Miss Morehead,
OF Senecaville, neicc of his own wife,
made public confession OF his heinous
offence. A committee CT ministers of his
own denomination, with an attorney, &C
compsnicd the guilty, conscience-qulck-
ened transgressor to the young
lady's homo and made an inves-
tigation of the case. The
young lady, who is not over progressing
or attractive in personal appearance, Is
about twenty-five years OF age. She pro-
duced the most damaging letters written
by her seducer, which brought to light
the fact that he had been in criminal
relation with her nearly three years. She
had lived at his house for time, and
alterward when she returned home he was
engaged to give her private instructions
in grammar. lie never got her beyond
tho cobiugation OF the verb ''love;" but
kept her dwelling in the subjunctive
mood, present tense, first person singu-
lsT; whilst be conned the Imperative
mood, saying "Be thou loved" Further
revelations show that he at one time had
plans laid TO sell his farm and elope with
his victim; and everything was according
ly arranged. But this game was desdened
by his wife refusing TO subscribe to the
deed alternating her interest in the prop
erty. He was fated to remain and feel
the crspirg and scorching Of the flames
his own sensuous passions had ignited.
The disciple OF the foul Beecherism
taught false SwltOc to his pupil, and
he now has the painful duty OF ponder
ing the horrible sentences which are its
legimate offspring The issue died with
in few days Of its birth. A comprc-
mise with the young unfortunate and
her parents was effected by his paying
5000 TO her and $40 additional to com
pensste for the trouble of nursing her
during the illness. The action of the
church authorities IS not yet known; but
OF course he will be silenced and dis
robed OF his ministerial garments.
