safety of our jail, found two bills OF in

Rradshaw's Revolver.

Avery unfortunate and probably fatal
difficulty took place on Saturday evening
last on the public highway a few miles
west OF Eaton, between Charles Reid,
whose parents reside in Kentucky, and
David Bradshaw, a young man OF this
place. 1t seems tina: both these young
men were employed a short time ago on
the farm of Mr.. William Deem, west of
Eaton, and while at work one day in a
corn field got into a difficulty, in which
Bradshaw came out "second best" A
very few weeks after the quarrel, Brad
shaw's time expired for which he was
hired as a farm hand, and was discharg-
ed by Nh. Deem, while young Reid was
retained. This made the former very
hostile, and in the hope of getting even
with his rival, circulated in the neigh
borhood some very ugly reports about
him and threatened his life with knife
and pistol, the first time they met. This
meeting occurred on the public highway,
last Saturday evening, about two miles
west OF Eaton, Reid and a friend in a
sleigh going home, and Bradshaw on foot
coming to town. AS We learn, Reid
stopped the sleigh and remarked that
the difficulty might as well be settled
then and there, and made some threats
of what he would do to Bradshaw, at the
same time rising up as if intending to get
out of the sleigh, when Bradshaw whip
ped out a revolver and fred three times
at his antagonist, one of the balls strik-
ing him on the left side of the face, close
to the nose, and lodging in the back part
of his head, where it still remains, but
according to the opinions Of Drs. Michael
and Small, who probed and dressed the
wound, may not prove fatal. The wound
ed young man is at the Eagle Hotel, and
at last reports was resting quite easy and
taking some nourishment. Bradshaw
came to town and surrendered himsel1
and was confined in prison until Monday
morning, when he had a preliminary
hearing before Mayor Neal, who com
mitted him in default Of 5000 bond. The
Grand Jury being in session took his case
and indicted him for shooting with in
tent to kill, and as his case will come VI
next week for trial, we refrain from any
further remarks in regard to it.

County NaWspapars.

The following is what the Cincinnati
Trade List thinks OF those characters who
complain of their county papers, and, in
stead OF helping to support them, send
on for a large city paper and thus help
to sustain them:
ga gentleman writes to us that his
county paper is SO poor that he has stop
ped it; therefore sends US three dollars
for the Trade List. We repeat that we
do not want subscribers on these terms.
A mans county paperis worth the world,
or if it is not it is his fault. If the coun-
ty paper is properly encouraged it may
be relied upon for information OF more
value to the people in whose interest it is
issued than can be found in all city pa
pers in the United States. No man car
afford to be without the paper that pub,
fishes the official advertisements OF his
county, the public sales, markets, cour.
news and other local intelligence. II the
paper is poor, the people are more al
fault than the publishers for not giving {
liberal patronage. However poor the
county paper may be, it is always wortl
more than it costs to those interested il
the affairs of the county,"

Experienced business men never
wish to carry any goods over from II
season to another. While the true
worth of goods carried over may not
actually have decreasedin point OF dol
lars and cents, yet they are always
sold at a discount. Mr.. Fred Michael
has, in view of the fact that he has a
large stock of winter goods, such as
boots. shoes, rubber boots and ladies
and gent over-shoes, on hand, desires
it understood that from this date on he
| will sell the same off at almost cost.
All these goods are in first-class condi-
ton; all of the best brands and having
been purchased from first-class hands
/ for cash, he can afford to sell at the re-
markable low figures he is now surpris-
ing all who call. He does not desire to
carry these goods through the spring
and summer months and hence his low
prices. Farmers as we'll as other par
ties can find special bargain4 at Mich
ael's. Having at all times one of the
largest, most complete and varied stock
of boots, shoes and rubber goods, he
can offer inducements to any class o.
customers. Goods guaranteed in al
cases to be just what are representa-
or money refunded. "Quick sales ant

accounts which he must pay and wish
es those indebted TO him to put in ap-

til ose in arrears for almost n year
and now thinks it high time for those
so favored to call on him and settle.

Phrenoiory,

The time has come when people do
not question the utility of Phrenology,
and men in all departments of life are
now applying its principles, both in
self-culture, and in their dealings with
others.

They say-ah! well, suppose they do,
But can they prove the story true?
Suspicious may arise from naught
But malice, envy, want of thought;
Why count yourselfamong the "they,"
Who whisper what they dare not say ?
They say-but why the tale rehearse,
And help to make the matter worse?
No good can possibly accru
From telling what msy be untrue,
And is it not a nObler plan
To speak of all the best you can?
A useful moral deduction is to be
drawn from the above stanza. The
spreading of false ISLANDERS is one of the
greatest curses to which human beings
are subject. Many a home has been
made wretched, aud many a bright and
promising person has been broken in
spirit, bereft of peace of mind, and their
usefulness in life destroyed, by the
venomous slanderer, and his equally
guilty, though perhaps thoughtless ac-
cessory, who repeats the SANDER on the
'"They say'' principle.
