If some of the young fellows, and old
ones, too, who drive horses around Ea-
ton this weather could be ''hitched up''
and made to go in their places, it might
be good for the poor dumb brutes.

Boys who are allowed to stay out on
the street until ten and eleven o'clock at
night, and associate with all kinds-gen-
orally the worst society in town, willhave
a great many temptations to overcome if
they ever make good men.
The father that urged his twelve year
old son to go into fight On our public
streets, with another boy of his age,
made an unfortunate mistake, both in
the result of the contest and for the
morals of his child.
To call it .'hades'' weakens the force
of the expression very much. How fiat
it will fall on our ears when he comes in
and says: s'That was a hades of a thing
to put in the paper about me; where the
hades is the fellow who wrote it?"
The juice of a lemon squeezed into a

It is noticed by every M that thus far
there has been an extreme scarcity OF
the common house-hy, so numerous in
summer and so annoying to the family.
To some it is a sur sign of a sickly sea-

heard by that class of the community
who are so superstitious as to put faith
in such things.

If the boys should bring the medal tc
Eaton, there would be no use for any
more railroads into the city. 1t would
be ready to be fenced in!
The number of cases of death from
lightning lately are really alarming. Blu
it won't do you any good to get excited
and try to avoid the lightning when i
flashes. There are, on an average, abou
as many people hanged in this country
as there are killed by lightning, and i
you will try and keep away from the gal
lows you will be happier, by letting thu
lightning have its own way.

Eaton had a slight sensation last week
brought about by the development of
aystematized piece OF robbery on the cloth
ing store of Joseph Woerner, in whicl
Eugene Cohee, a young clerk in tn
DrAg Store of Brookins & Son, was tn
principal actor as far ms known at pres
ent, although suspicious have been cas-
Upon several parties here by Cohee a
pals, one of whom, Chas. Acton; was al
rested and had a hearing before ESQ
Stephen, but proved a clear LIB an
was dismissed. Mr.. Woerner had bee
missing goods from his establishment fc
some time, but could not tell how the
got out, until one day last week a ruI
ner from Cincinnati for a clothing hous
made his appearance here, and while /
the establishment of Mr.. Woerner, inc
dentally remarked that he had met
man in Oxford, Ohio, selling suits sim
lar to the ones he had on hand, to anne
chant there by the name of Slime, an
that they were shipped from Eaton an
sold by a party giving his name as Jacl
son. This information soon led to tt
discovery that the goods were stole
from Mr.. Woerner, and that the part
representing himself as Jackson and sci
ing them was no less a person than C
hee, the Drug Store clerk of Brookins
Son, whose establishment adjoins IL
clothing house of Mr.. Woerner. Coht
was arrested and acknowledged his gui
before Mayor Neal, who put him und
bail of $500, and committed him f
want of the bond. The amount of goo'
stolen from Mr.. Woerner by the your
man is estimated at $1,000, two boxes
which was recovered, together with So
< in cash on his person, and a large lot
, neckties, silk handherchiefs, cuffs, CO
lars, jewelry, &C., found in his trunk 8
i, ter his arrest. Cohee had been in Il
employ of Brookins& Son for over a yea
had the entire confidence of his emplo
er and the public, appeared to condu
himself well and properly in his beha
ior, and was the last person whom col
munity would have selected as a pub.
