WOOL.

The Cincinnati Price Current says
"The market has lost the confident tone
and the upward tendency which has
prevailed for several weeks, and the
movement is comparatively light. Man
ufacturers and dealers in the East are
declining to buy at prices which they
paid willingly a week or ten days ago,
alleging that they can not place the
manufactured fabrics at any advanced
prices, and that the raw material is too
high. 1t is quite probable that manu-
facturers have stocked up enough to
find themselves in an independent condi-
tiOn for the present and will hold off for
time, but it is not so certain that they
will be successful in buying stocks any
cheaper; a large part of the wool held in
the Eastern markets is under limits and
unless they are removed there is no
probability of a break, but they may be
able to prevent further advance, which
probably would not be justified unless
wOOlen goods move upward. There is
still considerable wool offered to dealers
here from various points in this State
and Indiana, and some from Michigan,
but there is less disposition to buy, and,
while they take small lots from their
regular contributors at previous prices,
they are refusing large lots. We do not
change quotations, but call the market
weak at the prices"

BENZ. ZURCHER, who shot his father
dead with a revolver, at Steinersville,
this county, on the 23d of last Septem-
Der, was tried in our Common Pleas, ,and
found guilty of murder in the I'd degree
by the Jury on Saturday. This case ex-
cited considerable interest, especially
in the community where the unnatural
crime was committed, and many persons
were in attendance from that locality.
The murderer is evidently much below
the average in intelligence, yet he had
sense enough to drive a bargain, and to
look out pretty sharply for his own in
tereSts. The principal reason aScribed
for the commission of the murder was
the desire which he had formed to fall
heir to the small estate of his father.
1t was feared by him that his father
would marry again, ard thus deprive
him of one-third of the estate, which at
most is but few hundred dollars-to
prevent this the murder was committed.
1t was in evidence that the accused
had many peculiar traits of character,
and on these a defense of insanity was
set up by counsel. He dressed Oddly
wearing many cOlored bands OIL his hat,
and decorated it with feathers. He
would girdle himself around with a
belt of coon skins, and otherwise dress
in manner akin to the styles in vogue
among the sons of the forest The tes-
timOny was very vOluminous, going to
all phases of the case. The prisoner
was represented by Hon. L. Danford
and J. w. Shannon, Esq, who conduct
ed the defense with great skill. The in
terests of the State were looked to by
Prosecuting Attorney Mitchell and his
brother, Wilson Mitchell, ESQ.,, and it is
due to them to say that they were not
behind their brethren for the defense, in
the ability and skill with which they
managed the prosecution; they acquit-
ted themselves very credtablY, indeed.

JOHN WHITE, one Of the most widely
known citizens of Colerain township, re-
siding two miles north of Pennington
on the Cadiz pike, was stricken with
apoplexy early on Saturday morning,
from the effects of which he died at nine
o'clock on Monday evening On Satur-
day morning he arose early and at half
past five started out to feed his stock.
From the crib he took some corn in Il
basket to feed some hogs in the orchard
across the pike from his house. At half
past six, breakfast being ready, one of
his sons was sent out to look for the
father, when he found him alongside
the road lying upon his face, almost
frozen, speeches., insensible, and
breathing heavily. He was removed to
the house and medical aid summoned
but he never regained consciousness or
uttered sentence afterwards. Mr..
White was born February Sth, 1911, on
the farm where he lived during his en-
tire life and where he died. He was a
member and one of the trustees of the
Presbyterian church at Pennington, and
one of the most highly respected citi-
Zens of the community in which he
lived, and universally esteemed by his
neighbors, who deeply lament his death.
A stricken wife, and two sons and
daughters, upon whom the hand of affiic-
tion has recently been laid heavily are
again bereft, one of these is Mrs. Pratt
the wife of our townsman Jesse Pratt
Esq. The funeral will take place to.

The usual serial entitled the "Finan-
cial Transactions of the Commissioners
of Harrison County" was completed last
week in the Cadiz papers. Seven and a
half columns of those valuable journals
were required to relate the thrilling ad-
ventures of road viewers-the terrible
devastation of sheep-killing dOgs-uo
make known the rules by which their
county Bastile is governed-the price
paid for soap for use of county offices,
ETC., etc, all of which in the most minute
detail is highly interesting to the people
of Harrison county. It's a pity to con-
fine this story to single issue; it ought
to run through several numbers, and its
authors should be careful not to con-
dense it so as to make it uninteresting
