CALLED AT EAsT.-On Saturday
morning, Oct.s4, Abner H. Lamphier,
one of Brimfield's mostsprominent
pioneer citizens died At thes ad dvanced
age of 50 years, months and 2 days.
On Friday morningahe MIXED and
was in his usual heelthssbut shortly
afterward complsiied ofNpain in his
stomach aud took his bed from which
he never rose again. The deceased
was born in New England and came
to Brimfield in 1916 where he has
liyed ever since. He was one of the
first settlers. of that section,. taught the
first school IN .Brimfield aud was the
first man married in the township.
For number of years he was Justice
of the Peace, and all through life has
held some prominent position in local
affairs. The deceased was q man of
great personal worth and universally
respected by all who knew him. He
was man of more than ordinary
ability, possessed q remarkable MEM
ory, and was fine talker as all will
who listened to his remin-
iscences of pioneer life at the annual
of the Pioneer Association
of which he was an honOred member.
Dates and events from his arrival in
to the day of his death were
ever fresh in his memory, and with
Abner IL. Lamphier passed away

were very largely attended took place

witchcraft In Pennsylvanta.


That belief in witchcraft not only
continues to exist, but, were it not for
the law, would sometimes lead to the
violent death of unoffending old la
dies, was illustrated . few days ago.
Several girls were brought before
Scranton, Pa, justice, on charge of at
tacking with stones q peaceable old
lady who resides in the suburbs of
that city, the girls evidently believing
that the aged woman was witch, and
regarding it as their duty to stone her
to death. Mrs. Shloss, the mother of
one of the girls, Indignantly, charged
the woman, Mrs. Wagner. with being
a witch, saying that she could prove it.
The Scranton Republican says she
seemed intensely in earnest, and fairly
trembled with excitement while hur,-
ing this accusation at the head of the
plaintiff. The alderman heard the de-
tails of the strange csse patiently, and
said he had no doubt of the sincerity
of Mrs. Shloss. It is probably owing
to her distorted belief that the chill
dren have been led to persecute Mrs.
Wagner, who. however, was promised
protection.

POLITICAL MEETING.-Mr. d. l..
l.. Thomas, of Youngstown, and Mr..
J. Davis, of Palmyra, addressed large
audience at the Town Hall on Monday
Evening, Oct. 9Th. Mr.. Thomas rep
resented the Greenback party, but ad-
vised all Greenbackers to give their
votes to Gen. Ewing, as he was the
father Of greenbacks. Mr.. Thomas
was formerly a resident of Palmyra,
and was reared as Republican; but
after voting with them for a number
of years, satisfied himself that they
were unfit to be in power, and he re-
solved to vote the Democratic ticket,
and did SO until the Greenback party
originated. But he says that he will
give his vote to Gen. Ewing all the
same.
The Palmyra Silver Cornet Band
was among the competitors at the Band
contest at Ravenna on Wednesday, the
Sth inst. the prize being $1,000 to the
best Band outside of Ravenna. Moth
ing was said in regard to the age of the
Band at all, and we think, that any
competent judge will say that Palmyra
should have the prize, although the
amount was not very large for music
to be furnished for two days. There
was large number of our citizens who
attended the Ravenna Fair. and they
all speak Of it in the highest terms.
Hurrah! Hurrah! What do you say
for that delegation that the. Palmyra
Silver Cornet Band led into Ravenna
on Saturday, last?i Did you see any
there that beat it? Our citizens were
bound to see Gen. Ewing. The num-
ber that attended here amounted to
100 or more. and there was one man
came home and said he would vote for
Gen. Ewing, who formerly was Re-
publican. You can count on a large
Democratic majority on Tuesday next,
and then hurrah for Ewing and Rice
The Palmyra Band goes to Newton
Falls to-day, the 18th inst, to attend
the meeting there which is to be ad-
dressed by Paine and others.

OUR MASS MEETING.

The Democratic Mass Meeting held
here on Saturday last was the largest
and most enthusiastic political gather
ing ever held in tho county. At an
early hour the people began to pour
into town aud by eleven O'Clock the
streets were crowded by vast multi
tude of people and at that hour the
delegations began to arrive in process
sion headed by brass bands, with We
hicles embOwered in hickory brush
and with flags and banners waving.
There were four of these immense
professions, one from each point Of
the compass which united into one
would have reached four or five miles
in length. There were numerous
banners in the professions bearing ap-
propriate Inscriptions and notices,
among which one from Mantna, the
work of our Democratic friend, DIR.
G. w. Trask, representing the three
legs of Generals Ewing and Rice and
underneath them tho bloody shirt en-
blem of the Radicals, was universally
observed and admired. The follow
ing bands participated in and furnish
ed the music: Ravenna, Brimfield,
Palmyr,, Parkman, Mantua, Sufield
and Windham. General Ewing COM
menced his speech at two O'Clock and
for two hours and quarter held his
immense audience spell-bound with
one of the clearest and most eloquent
and logical arguments on the issues of
the campaign to which we have lis-
tened. At the close of General Ew-i
ing's speech, Hon. Il. +. Paine, of
Cleveland, was introduced aud adj;
dressed the meeting for an hour in a
very able manner. a. 2"
The attendance is variously -esti-
mated at from 5000 to 10000. Ger
tain it is that no such political gather
ing was ever before held in the county.
In the evening another large and
meeting was held in the
park which was addressed by Judge
Paine for about two hours in a most
able, eloquent and convincing speech.

3. 81. Louis, October 12.-The Times
Journal has special from Lebanon,
st. Clair county, Illinois, that Mrs.
Alice Daubrough, living about three
miles south of that place, was arrest
ed few days ago on q charge of pois-
oning her husband, Thomas Daubrough
and his brother, George Daubrough.
The circumstances, so far as known,
are that Daubrough and his wife and
two children and his brother George
lived together in apparent harmony.
George was industrious, miserly, and
was supposed to have some money.
Sixteen months ago he died suddenly,
but nothing particular was thought of
il and the event was soon forgotten.
About nine months ago Thomas Dau-
brough also died very suddenly. Sus.
picions were aroused that all was not
right, and . post mortem examination
was demanded by his friends, but
Mrs. Daubrough objected so strongly
to having her husbands body mutt
grief at his death that the examination
was waived and the circumstances
passed off their minds. Some days
ago Mrs. Daubrough went to Leba-
non and entered q charge of rape
against George Liston OF East st.
Louis, who che testified came to her
house with drawn knife and pistol
and demanded the qualification of his
lust, and compelled her to yield to his
wishes. He also stated he had a let
ter which would prove that she had
poisoned her husband and brothcr-in
law. This letter was subsequently,
obtained by. Detectivesi Upton and
Harrison, and proved to be from
John Freeland Of East st. Louis, q
brother of Mrs. siDaubrough, and
to expose the poisoning of
the two men il she did not send him
three dollars. Freeland was imme-
distelg arrested, and he and Liston
and Mrs. QaubroRgh are now in the
Relleville Jail. The grand jury of st.
Clair county ia now investigating the
ianaf&er.E It II said that Mrs. Dau-
brough has admitted the act of pois-
oning, having given her husband arse

Glass WICK. for Lamps.

cotton wick. In the spirit lamp, too,.
it is found to greatly increase the heat
of the flame. No sparks are given off
by this incombustible wick, nor does
the light flare in draughts to the ex-
tent which it does with a burning
wick hence it makes the lamp safer.
The smoking is also reduced, and it is
stated that 10 per cent. of oil is saved
by its use. OF course the dissgreeable
task Of trimming the lamp is rendered
unnecessary, for being of glass, the
wick does not. consume, but wastes
away very slightly by fusion.-( Chem
