Dairy Shipments from yelling
BUTTER 1879.

tOu.
BUTTER 1879.
The following is the summary of the
shipments of butter from Wellington
depot during the year 1879:
Packages, 1906, weight, 1,130, ,9s9
pounds.
During the year of 1873, the amount
of butter shipped was 1,0Ol ,66l pounds,
the figures showing an increase in the
butter export of 1928 pounds.
CHEESE 1870.
The shipments of cheese for the year
ending Dec. 81, 1879, was boxes, 1ss,-
791; weight, 1855, 1888 pounds.
During the year 1873, the number Of
pounds of cheese shipped was 6, 1856, ,674,
an increase of l ,422 ,664 lbs. for 1879.
A comparison of the shipments Of
dairy products from Wellington and
Little Falls, N. Y, shows that yelling
ton has the lead in butter by 1859
pkgs', S71 ,402 pounds, and in cheese by
"a 905 boxes, Sl8, ,734 pounds; total ex .
cess of dairy products, butter and cheese,
over Little Falls. is 1890, ,i36 pounds.
MS Is very COmIOItbDlc showing IOI
the growth of the business on this por-
tion of the Reserve, and also shows the
increasing popularity of Wellington as a
market town for dairy products. She
now without doubt has the lead of any
inland town in this branch Of business.
Notwithstanding the hard times and the
fact that many discouraged by the low
prices have withdrawn from the business,
the total product shows a gratifying in
crease over any former year.
Prices which were so low in the early
part of the season as to threaten the ruin
of the dairy interest, were fully compen-
sated by the advance in tho latter months
so that the average is very much better
than the previous year, and gives the
dairymen a very fair return for their sea-
sons work. Such a result will give
courage to our citizens and q new impe-
tus to all mercantile manufacturing and
business interests. We may safely con-
clude that the new era of prosperity has
fairly set in and that with the practice of
ordinary economy We may soon get rid
of our financial burdens that were as
sumed in more prosperous times.

A Free Lecture on Vending.

Hon. Geo. r. Wendling delivered the
fourth lecture Of the course last Satur-
day evening, to rather a small audi.
ence, considering the fact that he is one
of the most praised and best advertised
men now in the lecture field. There is
an unusual diversity of opinion among
those present as to the merit of the lee :
ture, some giving it most enthusiastic
praise, while others condemned it as
unworthy the subject and the extrava-
giant claims made for it by the press in
different parts of the country. We had
expected to hear a dispassionate. clear
and logical statement of the arguments
in favor of Christianity, from secular
standpoint and in opposition to the
teachings of Ingersoll, such as should
leave no standing ground for Atheism
and Infidelity, and would remove all
doubt of the truths of revelation
from the unprejudiced mind. But in
stead of that, We listened for over two
hours to impassioned defamation,
scarcely equalled by the acting of high
tragedy on the stage, elocution studied
to the extreme limit of accuracy, a pro-
nunciation perfect to the point of affec-
tation, an elocution devoid of all nat
uralness, without spontaniety, with
little argument, less point. and having
only a florid rhetoric that almost dazed
the senses and baried the little thought
it contained under such a cloud of ad-
jectives, such multitude of qualifying
PHRASES and clauses as made it
easy to understand how the man
could talk so long and say so
little. Instead Of the convincing logic
of a master, we had the bombast and
the spread eagle of the conceited Soph-
more who seeks to air the wisdom of
his shallow brain, who thinks famil-
iarity with the philosophers and sages
of antiquity and an ability to roll their
almost interminable and unpronounce-
able names glibly from his tongue will
be considered by his less educated hear
ers as evidence of exalted wisdom and
superior intellectual ability.
we ike Tragedy when the sunJect
and the occasion are in harmony, and
can enjoy it for reasonable length OF
time, but when on q subject demanding
GOODNESS and accuracy of statement and
argument, a man gives us sentiment
and defamation and bombast, and tears
a passion to tatters and fiaunts the rags
before a suffering audience for two long
hours, the thing gets to be monotonous
and we would rather be sxcu sed.
We believe In Christianity; we be-
lieve in the Bible and unhesitatingly
accept its teachings, and It is from no
sympathy with Ingersoll or his doc
trines, or with any atheistic tendencies
that we criticise Mr.. Weddings lee
ture, but because we think the subject
worthy Of better tire atment than it re-
ceived.

Attempted Murder by Poison at
Oberlin.
Last week Wednesday evening, the
wholesale murder of highly respecta-
BILE family at Oberlin, was prevented
only by the ignorance Of the servant
girl in putting an overdose of arsenic
into the graham mush prepared for tea,
by which she, a colored girl named
Mary Num-, intended to murder Mr..
and Mrs. Montgomery, Miss Lizzie
Montgomery, Miss Matte Clark,
daughter of DIR. F. N. Clark, formerly
dentist of Wellington, and another
boarder, Mr.. Arthur Whitney. The
other boarders were Miss Georgia,
daughter of d. L. Wadsworth, of
Wellington, Miss Wall of Washington,
Mr.. G.. w. ELS, and Mr.. J. Cooley.
Mr.. Montgomery, Mr.. Cooley and Miss
Wadsworth were the only ones at the
table who did not eat more or less
heartily of the mush. Soon after sup
per Miss Clark was taken deathly sick
with symptoms of poisoning. Miss
Montgomery had missed a paper of
arsenic, used for poisoning rats, from
the cellar-way a day or two before, and
now recollecting it she told her fears to
her mother, who secuted the idea of at
tempted poison, but was finally persua-
ded to urge the girl to eat dish Of the
mush, of which she was usually very
fond. She did not dare refuse, and
was made desperately sick like the
others. In the morning some of the
mush was aualyzed by college chemists
and found to contain at least a grain
and half of arsenic to the table,
spoonful, and more than enough to do
deadly work. While officers were
waiting below to arrest the girl, Mrs.
Montgomery quietly told her what had
been suspected against her, and urged
her to confession. At first stoutly de-
nying, she finally made a clean brea st
of the henious crime plotted against
the unsuspecting family. 1t appears
that the girl is about seventeen, .
daughter of worthy parents, her father
being the pastor of a colored church I'm
Oberlin; that she had lived in this
family eight or nine months, and few
weeks ago had at different times taken
sums of money belonging TO the master
of the house, from a bureau, the
drawer occasionally being left unlocked
by mistake. The girl bought so many
things and made such fine presents, that
on the Monday previous to the poison
ing, the girl was kindly told of their
suspicious concerning her unusual
prosperity aud their lost money. She
assumed an air OF injured innocence
and went home. Her father, upon con-
sulting the family was convinced that
his daughter was guilty, and said that
she should remain at home and earn
enough by washing to repay what she
had taken. The Montgomery family
not wishing to be severe, proposed to
take her back and let the amount come
out of her wages. She accordingly re-
sumed work, but was sullen and angry
up to the time of the poisoning, and
confesses that she had murder In her
