1 had a mine staked for myself on the

inside of go days or lost, and labor being
very high here, 1 expect it will go by the
board. By the way, there is a mine here
named for myself and one for Eaton. I
hope they will yield a goodly amount of
ore.

The lightning rod and painting swim
dlers that operated in this neighborhood
last week, left and went up about Lewis
burg to ply their rascally business. They
got a contract out of Herman Rex, and in
the compromise in some way obtained
his note for $50, which was disposed of
by one of the party to John Schneider.
After Mr.. S. had it in his possession a
short time, a rumor came to his ears that
it was a forged note, ~whereupon he had
the party who sold it to him arrested on
the charge of forgery. An effort was
made to settle the matter by refunding
the amount of the note and costs of the
arrest, but it flashed in the pan, and the
individual of the s~windling daub brush
and fraud lightning rods was taken be-
fore the Justice of Harrison township,
where he waived an examination and was
placed under bond of $500, which he fail
ed to give and was lodged with Sheriff
Corwin to await further developments by
the Grand Jury. Every n of the scoun-
drels ought to be doing State service for
their villainous transactions around here.

THE POPULARITY OF THE DRAMA
1t is surprising 10 witness the giving
way Of the prejudice against the drama
during the past elgh. or len years. We
well remember the great surprise with
which one Of the most ardent aud we
thipk sincere class leaders and his lady
was met at the Philadelphia Academy
OF Music few years ago on the occasion
OF the "Black Crook" being played IN
that theatre. 1t Is now no uncommon
thing to see a dozen or two of members
OF church In our Grand Opera House,
many Of whom ten years ago would not
have thought OF going inside Of thea
tire. Aud yet we do not see that these
gentle men are not rs pious as ever. Tie
vehemerce with which our oil preach
ers denounced the drama is no longer
heard and the h)cks take greater hber-
ties.

IN the Senate the other day, when
Mr.. Morrill, was making his speech on
the tariff, a Soutberner, who was
asked why his people did not divide
on the tariff and questions Of Ike
character, replied "Did you ever
hear of people threatened with yellow
fever and smallpox bothering them
selver about ague and fever ?" And
added "Gou Northern people will
never understand that while the
negroes are unit in the South white
people cannot afford to divide without
committing political suicide" There
is much food Tor reflection IN these
simple utterances.

$4,000. The Richmond Dispatch

During the four days of Muster, in addition
to the soldiers encamped on our soil, thou
sands Of strangers have poured into Augusta.
Notwithstanding the vast crowds, the best
of order has prevailed through the week and
there has been a total absence of scenes of
turbulence and drunkenness, which is ex-
tremely gratifying to our pride as citizens,
and speaks volumes for the efficiency of our
admirable police force. Not an arrest was
made during the four days of Muster City
Marshal White early notified the proprietors
of all suspected places that they must close
their doors. There has been no intoxication,
no street brawls, no disturbances. We are
sure that our people feel grateful to the vigil
liant guardians of the peace for their exer-
tons and will concur with us in thinking
that it puts large sized feather in the cap
Of the City Marshal.
