PALM YR A.
C0rrpSnandance


An Oyster Supper was given to our
citizens, on Wednesday evening, the
26th ult., at the Jones House, by Mr..
James Jones, the proprietor. The Sill
yer Cornet Band furnished music for
the occasion. It was a grand affair and
all speak well of Mr.. Jones as a land
lord, and all who heard the band will
say it can't be beat. The old brick
hotel fairly shook when the band was
filling the air with their musical airs.
The supper was splendid-not 25 cents
per dish of oysters, but 25 cents for all
you could eat-tea or coffee, pie, cake,
sauce, pickles, cabbage, canned peach
es, and all that was necessary to make
it a grand supper. All pronounce it
one of the finest suppers and most en-
joyable affairs ever held in Palmyra,
not the least thing occurring to mar the
occasion. We now have the right man
in the right place. James knows how
to get up a supper if anybody does,
We wish him success.
Ohio legal test carbon oil is selling
at 13 cents per gallon at our stores.
DIR. e. Rose, our physician, has all
he can attend to, and all his patients
are doing well at present. They can
all depend on him for safety.
Colorado gold diggings is all the talk
here now, and Messrs. Ben. Jones and
Dan. Davis have started for that country
and more are talking of going.
The Quaker Mills oatmeal can be
found at Thomas store here. All who
use it pronounce it a nice article.
We were favored, on Friday night, at
the Literary, with speech by Mr..
George Wolf, of Milton. He is an ex-
cellent talker. He is student at Mt.
Union, and we understand, is to grad
uate the coming term. The question
for debate was "Should the United
States dispose of their bodies by Gre
mation?" Mr.. Wolf took the affirma-
tive and made a very able and eloquent
speech after which vote was taken by
the house, and it was decided in the af-
firmative.
What do you think of this for cheap
buggies? On Saturday last, a Merits &

sold for $39 at a sale here. That beats

QUITE lively little passage occur
red in the Senate on Saturday while
the bill making appropriations for
payments of arrears of pensions was
under consideration. General Shields
offered an amendment placing Mexi-
can vetrans on the same footing with
other vetrsns, which was agreed to
yeas 81, nays "a:
The question recurring on Mr..
Shields amendment, Mr.. Mitchell NOV
ed to amend so that no person who
served in the Confederate army or oc.
cupied q civil Office Under the Confed-
crate government shall be entitled to
a pension under this act. The amend
ment was disagreed to-yeas "a, nays
26; a party vote with the exception
that Messrs. Conover and Patterson
voted with the Democrats in the neg
ative.
Mr.. Hoar offered an amendment,
namely: Provided that no pension
shall ever be paid under this act to
Jefferson Davis, late President, SO
called, of the Southern Confederacy. ("
Bitter responses were provoked
from Messrs. Garland, Maxy and La
mar. Mr.. Lamar said he must con-
ess his surprise and regret that the
Senator from Massachusetts should
have wantonly, without proyocation
flung this insult.
Tho Chair (Edmunds) called the
Senator to order for thus language.
Mr.. Lamar suppose it is in order
to fling insults, but out of order for
thrse who are insulted to hurl back
the blow. appeal from the decision
of the Chair.
The question being taken the decis.
ion of the Chair was overruled-yeas

Mr.. Thurman said the amendment

who went as far as he did were not

might mention the names of Mr.. Ack.

Especial Dispatch to the Evening News.]
CHARDoN, March 4.-The excitement
in our village is great over what is
generally considered an attempt to
burn or rob the town. AT IL O'Clock
last night fire was discovered in the
rear of Ransom Parsons wagon shop,
which was promptly extinguished by
the citizens. This revealed careful
preparations on the part of some per-
sons to insure fire. Hay and other
combustibles had been placed in the
building. but were only partly con-
sumed. In less than twenty minutes
after this fire was extinguished, Mr.
Baldwin, Of the Chardon House, dis
covered that their barn was on fire.
1t was SO full of smoke that it was i'm
possible, to enter the building, and
with the barn there were consumed
eight harnesses, three cows, three pigs,
and two calves. At the first alarm
the fire engine was brought out, when
it was discovered that this had been
tampered with, and it was some min
utes before water could be thrown on
the fire. 1t soon became evident that
the large hotel and a barn belonging
to j. o. Converse adjoining, could not
be saved. Owing to the favorable di-
rection of the wind and the prompt eff.
forts of the citizens no other buildings
were destroyed. The brick block of
buildings standing to the north of the
hotel was saved by q constant stream
Of water being thrown upon it. The
loss can hardly be estimated. Per-
haps the following is as accurate as
can be obtained at this hour: Benton
& Co., $1,000; insurance, $4,000; j.
0. Converse, 5000; insurance, $3.50.
1t is impossible to give an estimate of
the amount of furniture saved. There
seems to be no doubt in the minds OF
the citizens that this fire is the work
of an incendiary, although no arrests
have been made.

IT is exceedingly gratifying to know
that there is $220, 600 900 worth of coin
in the treasury. 1t encourages us,
you know, and gives us the heart to
stave off the milkman and the grocer
for another week.-Public Opinion.
And it is equally gratifying to learn
that nobody wants this coin, which
shows the absolute necessity of resump-
ton.

most efficaciOus medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully
combined that the full alternative

it is so mild as to be harmless even

to purge out from the system those

The social event of the week, and of
the entire season, was Mr.. Hayes re-
ception TO the Diplomatic Corps. It
was one of the grandest affairs in point
of brilliancy, floral display, etc., ever
given at the White House, but the
snobbish treatment of the journalistic
fraternity was something unknown to
Washington society. They were given
invitations not to attend the reception
but to stand in the vestibule with the
Marine Band and colored lackeys and
look at it. OF course his frandulency
need not have invited the correspond
ents if he chose not to but extend such
an invitation as that given to GENTLE
men who are socially, morally and in
tellectually the superiors of two-thirds
of the Congressman, army officers and
bureau chiefs present, was an insult.
But he says that is the way such things
are done in Europe.
John Roach's Brazilian steamship
subsidy has passed the Senate If it
should pass the House three million
dollars Of the peoples money would be
donated to aid private enterprise.
But it won't pass. The Democrats of
the House have only to take firm
stand against all such jobs aud the
people will back them up. The Senate
on Elections has been try
ing to get vote on their report that
Corbin, of South Carolina, is entitled
to Senator Buffers seat, but the effort
was pretty eflectually sat down upon
on Tuesday. Five Republicans voted
with the Democrats. 1t is doubtful
the move had really any more |
serious purpose than to give Corbin |
$40, 900 for making..th contest. At any
ate he will get neither that nor the
