Crash they went through the roof Of

was in no good humor, especially as
they were the majors chimneys.
Therefore he was preparing a legal
process by which he could get salts

the major cOuched as follows:

farm at Elizabethtown, KY, and one
Of her employees was William Lewis,

with her money. The relatives op-

suit Of clothes, and married him, and
took him home.

Some time ago, when we went to the Green :
field Fair, we saw picture the canvas OF
one of the shows in the Fair Ground, which
represented a woman as being cut of at the
breast. She was called "Irene, the Wonder"
We went in to see her. Sure enough, there sne
was She was a pretty, understanding young
woman. There was round table, and there
were three little posts on it, some or 10 inches
high. On the top of these posts was round
board, and from this arose Irene. You could
see between the lowec and upper parts of the
table, the posts upon which the upper part rest
ed and could see clear back to the canvas In
the rear of the table. he body of the woman
came to the top of the upper leaf of the table,
and there it ended. 1t could not possibly come
between the table leaves, you could not have
seen the canvas of the tent by looking between
the leaves of the table. woman was talking
to "The Wonder" told her she certainly had
body, or how could she breathe "The Wonder"
denied it. We told her that the space between
the leaves of the table was surrounded by a
glass which by reflection, represented the posts,
and the canvas and that in reality she was
sitting within the table. 1t was kept rather
dark and we think this the true theory,
as "Irene" looked rather cunning.
Now what of all this? We do not know that
Irene, the Wonder will be at our Fair next |
week-Thursday and Friday, but there may be
more wonderful things. Come everybody, and |
see what will be on the grounds.

The Democrats held meeting in "Goddard's
Hall" last Saturday evening. Half of those
present were Republicans, who went through
curiosity. After the meeting was called to
order by Mr.. Stewart, Col. Micawber vilified the
Republican party, and Jim Paine, at some
length: he closed by eulogizing himself, and
telling what he "done" for his country when at
Columbus. J. G. H. Cobb was then introduced
He made very clear elucidat1on OF the money
question, by telling what was done in Salem
township, in years agone, and what a change
had taken place in this country since the In
dams canoe shot down the Ohio. Then grow
ing eloquent, he dived deep into the subject,
and dragged forth the little animal called re-
sumption, and demonstrated the fallacy of
Sherman's course. Then the Learned Shoe
maker followed with few soothing words of
exhortation, and the meeting adjourned. 1t
was a lifeless affair. The last freezing blast
from Maine took all the enthusiasm out of the
ranks of the party in this place.

JACKSON, o., September 10, 1879.
To the Honorable Levi DUNCAN:
DEAR SIR-Whereas, you saw fit, in your
speech to the workingmen at the Fair Grounds,
to assail the tramp act as outrageous in its
character, and denounce those who voted for it
in the most extreme terms; now, that the peo-
pie of the county may have an opportunity to
understand the nature of the law, its intents,
and purposes, hereby challenge you to discuss
it with me in every township in the county.
have also proposition to make you. You
are a lawyer of many years standing, you are
supposed to have a knowledge of the legal ef-
feet of language you know the rule of law
which requires the statute, in the case of GRIM
inal prosecutions, to be construed most strictly
against the State; now if you will within
week from this date write professional opinion,
backing it by such legal reasoning as seems to
you conclusive on that rortion of the law de-
filming a tramp, showing how and why it ap
plies to any one except the professional tramp,
the men who too lazy to work and pre-
fer to beg or steal living; in other words, that
class of men who make business of tramping
and begging-sign your name to it as an attor-
ney at law, and hand it to me for publication,
will pay you for it. Yours respectfully,
JAMES B. PAINE.

self, on condition that we would not give his

three miles out in the country. He generally
walks into town in the morning, and gets one
of the livery men to take him home in the
evening. One morning last week he did not
feel well, and he got horse from neighbor

the evening he got livery man to take him
home, as usual When two miles from town
he remembered the borrowed horse, and hired
a boy to come to town after him.
