B0EtOOo ABn6oys
About five O'Clock last Saturday af-
ternoon O. d. Wheeler, . teamster,
residing in town, while under the in
fluence Of intoxicating liquor, entered
the billiard parlor of q. w. Barrett, in
Etna Block and demanded of the clerk,
William Sprague, that he should lend
him seventy-five cents, which was re-
fused. Wheeler insisted upon being
accommodated oansf made threats
against the clerk If his demand was
not complied with. Sprague, thinking
he was joking, paid no attention to
him and went around behind the bar,
where Wheeler followed him, dealing
him two severe blows upon the head
with his fist, and grasping him firmly
by the throat showed him back against
the shelving. Sprague seized quart
bottle Of beer standing on the shelf
and struck his assailant heavy blow
across the head just above the eyes,
causing him to'release his hold and
stagger back. A severe cash was cut
which bled profusely and an examina-
ton disclosed that the outer layer of.
the skull hone was badly fractured.
The wounded man was taken to his
home ON West Main Street, where he
has remained in very precarious con-
dition since the sad affair, though his
injuries are not regarded as necessarily
fatal. Sprague at once surrendered
himself into the custody Of the officers
Of the law. f.

B,r smash Up.

The folly Of attempting TO run two
trains Of cars In opposite directions ON
the same track was fully demonstrated
on the N. Y. p. & D. Railroad just east
Of the Ravenna Station, at about 8
O'Clock Tuesday morning, when the
through freight bound east and an ir-
regular, or wildcat train, bound
west, collidsd and were fearfully
smashed up. Both engines were badly
and disabled, one Of the tend
ers almost demolished, . car contain
ing corn was crushed and its contents
upon the ground, car loaded
with tan bark and another with mer-
chandise were completely telescoped,
and other considerable damage done
10 both trains. The wreck was fear
ful one and must have been the result
Of carelessness on the part of some one.
We have heard no estimate of the
damage but it must amount to several
thousand d0llars.

TRIAL OF REAPEns,-The trial of Reapers an
nOunced in last weeks issue came off as announc-
ed. and proved q success. Theweather was fine,
and the grain iu the very best condition for test
ing Reapers. The straw was long. and in some
places badly lodged in such manner that it had
to be cut the same way it was lodged.
The VIM. Anson Wood Reaper led off under
the direction Of tho committee in charge, in such
a manner that all present were satisfied that this
is u first class machine. la rsfsa
The Walter A. Wood came next in order This
machine also did excellent work. and was we'll
handled by its operator. This machine was well
spoken of by all present. but its agents showed a
bulldozing disposition to all the agents of the
other Reapers. and also the committee in charge
The Perry Royce Reaper came next. and prov
ed itself perfect little giant surprising all pres
ent. doing first class work, especially in deliver
ing the grain for binding; and the ease of man
aging the machine both for operator and team,
was unsurpassed
The Champion came to the contest, and in the
trial held its reputation a. one of the leading
machines. The Rcsper on trial was the larger
sisc. and Therefore did not deliver the grain as
compact for binding as the medium Champion
machines do -
The Buckeye came next. This was the only
Reaper using q reel. and some doubts were ex-
pressed by the spectators to its taking up lodg-
ed grain; but doubts were quickly removed when
it made the first round. and during the trial be-
haved just rs well rs a Reel Reaper could possi-
bly, behave.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE.
WINDHAM. o., July 11th, 1881,
The undersigned committee were selected by
the Excelsior Farmers' Club of South Eastern
Windham to witness the trial of Reapers on the
farm of John Smalsreed in said township, which
took place this day. The following machines
were represented: iWm.Ahson Wood, operated
by o. R. Jones. of Milton; Walter A. Wood, op-
Grated by Rollie Hawkins. of Newton; Perry
Royce, operated by w. A. Messenger, of Wind
ham Champion. operated by Eli johnson, and
the Buckeye. operated by E. W. Bosworth, of
Braceville.
The committee would make the following re-
port: We would say that all the Reapers did
we'll both in standing and lodged grain We find
it quite difficult to determine which should have
the preference. We find that the Perry Royce is
the lightest running machine. owing. no doubt.
to its light weight. We find but little difference
between the Walter A, Wood and the Champion.

On Tuesday morning, as Col. Royal
Taylor was getting into his carriage in
front of his residence on East Main
street, his horse started, throwing him
to the ground and dragging him for
some distance. The Colonel was pick
ed up and carried to his home, when
1t was found that he had received
pretty severe bruises about the head
and body, which will cOnfine him to
his room for several days. The horse
ran to the premises Of N. Converse, on
Walnut street, where it was secured
without having done much damage to
itself or the carriage.
obituary.
Another pioneer mother has passed
away !; another beloved form has been
placed in the silent tomb. As no.
ticed her grave in our cemetery and
thought of her deeds of kindness, I
thought she WAS deserving of some
thing more than an announcement of
her death.
Aunt Polly Parshall was born at
Richmond, Ontario Co., N. Y, in 1908,
and died 1t Mantua June %, 1881.
Her maiden name was Bond. Polly
Bond came to Ashtabula in 1925, where
she married Theron Holcomb. Her
husband lived but three years. After
his death she came to Shalersville and
has made it her home until q short
time before her death. In 1884 she
was united In marriage with Thomas
Parshall. Mrs. Parshali was the moth
er of three children; two crossed the
River of. Death before her one was
left to care for the aged mother-Mrs.
Price, of Mantua. She leaves one
sister, Mrs. Sarah Beckwith, Of Ra-
VIENNA.
Mrs. Parshall was known rs Aunt
Polly throughout the entire communi-
ty. Her deeds of kindness have been
many. No neighbor or friend ever
suffered for want of care while Aunt
Polly had her health and strength.
For the past few years she has been in
feeble health, but, although great
sufferer, still she was ever ready tn
cheer the ,despondent. Aunt Polly's
little house was . favorite resort for the
children, for she always had a smile,
q pleasant word, story or song (when
she was well enough to sing) for them.
Her only son was killed in the advance
upon Atlanta during the rebellion.
Aunt Polly had her share of sorrow.
truly May she reap her reward for
her goodness, is the wish of her many
friends. e. s. e.
