Some nights ago thieves broke INTO the
summer house of Lew Van -Orner, ih Fay-
ette township, and helped themselves TO
milk and other things good to eat, and from
there they proceeded TO the tobacco house
OF Rev. j. s. Bear, and there made an effort
TO enter the tobacco house, for the purpose,
it is supposed, of getting tobacco TO smoke
after the hearty meal in Van-Ormer's out

An Ohio man wrote from Gartield's place
last week, that an old college chum OF Pres
ident- elect Garfield visited him last Sunday
gone to bed. The General went out and
hitched up the visitors horse and buggy |
himself il the dark, using his own harness
by mistake for that OF tie livery stable |
where the visitor had hired the team.
John Martin tells good story about how |
he called turkey on Shade mountain till
mile or two to get into the rear of the tur-
key, which when done he found to his |
amaseIi THAI the turkey had gone over TO /!
the point where he came from. The fowl
and the hunter had changed places, and |
aiter a mutual ir.ittchsngc OF calls from the |
exchanged places the hunt for each other
was abandoned.

sponded to by loo veterans. At the next

/" The onion-skin ballot was extensively |
used in east Jersey at the election, remind |
ing one OF South Carolina tissue ballots. Ii |
is printed On pasteboard paper, and after
being deposited in the ballot box unfolds |
itself and lets loose from five to ten smaller |
ballots. 1t is claimed that the onion-skin |
ballots and the counting law gave the Dem |
ocratic electors and the Democratic candi- |
date for Governor all the majority they are
credited with.'
On Sunday night week thieses entered |
the house Of Joseph Smith, Sr., residing in |
Fayette township. about three miles north !
east of McAlistervilIe. They took adra"er
out of bureau that stood not more than
six feet from the bed in which Mr. Smith !,
slept. Another drawer was carried INT" An
adjoining room ahd there roSoed oI the cash I
that was IN il. The two drawers contained
about seventy five dollars in money. An
open window and al open door down stairs :
indicate how the THE, cs went into and rui I
Of the house.
Certain members of the Democratic p1rty |
are rryi ing to shield such prominent people |
as Barnum and Hewelt from the blame that !
arises from the publication of the Chinese !
Letter. If they were not a party direct TO
the forgery, they were party TO the pnbii- I
cation of the million copies that were scat
terea broadcast over the country. A mans
pretended adherence to upright and FAIR
dca ling conduct amounts to nothing in the
face of unfair dealing, aud fraudulent con-
duct. PretensIon is one thing and respect
able conduct is another thing.
The Newton Hamilton Wat Gilman of last
week says: Last Tuesday, while Mr.. John
Kyle was preparing blast in the lime quarry
al Matilda Furnace, stone rolled down
against log, throwing one end around
against his leg, breaking both bones about
three inches above the ankle joint, both
bones protruding through the skin. When
his boot was removed, his foot was re, ersed,
his toes being where his heel should be.
This is a very sad affair for Mr.. Kyle jnst at
the approach of winter. DR.. j. I. Mahon,
