An Irishman by the name of Burke,
aged about As years, died suddenly at
the residence of joni Strobe, in Eaton,
on Sunday last. An inquest was held
upon his remains on Monday, and a YER
dict rendered that death was the result
of congestion of the brain. Burke was of
dissipated habits and had been drinking
to excess for some time. Two or three
days before his death he was known to
have had 5000 in money on his person
after his death but 95 cents could be
found on him. It is not known what be-
came of his money.

A bold and successful attempt to rob
the safe of Shera & Bro, at College Cor
ner, was made last Friday night. The
robber or robbers visited the residence
of Mr.. Will Shera, the senior member of
the firm, and after he had retired, raised
a window on the first or ground floor,
and fished his pants hat he had left
carelessly lying on the floor, toward
them with a long pole, and distracted his
keys therefrom. They then proceeded
to the store, unlocked the first and sec
ond doors of an old-fashioned Halls safe,
and discovering the printed instructions
to work the combination on the burglar
proof box, effected an entrance. Loss
81, 800. No clue to perpetrators. This
is the second safe burglary perpetrated
at that place during the past month,
Bake & Ridenour being the other unfor-
tunates. /,

We are now in the midst OF another
Of our periodical Indian outbreaks which
is the fashion in this part OF the country
TO ascribe to the oppression OF the poor
Indian by those terribly blood thirsty
frontiersmen who have taken their fam
lies, and their little fortunes IN their
hands and are trying to build up homes
fer themselves on the land which has
been sold them by their government.
When. in the early days Of the settle
ment of New England, the savages de-
scended upon the defenceless settlers, muir
dered the men and carried the women IN
to captivity, all members OF the strug-
Cling colonies were filled with horror and
sympathy.
There was then no one TO question
whether some white man had no, al some
former time, injured some Indian and so
in the language Of to-day, provoked
retaliation but all were eager to
venge the outrage and prevent a recur-
renee OF such terrible experiences.
Now that this section Of the country Is
happily nd of her Indians and in no dan
ger from their incursions, and massacres,
change seems TO have come over the
sentiments Of our people, in regard 20
the Indian and his character.
Instead Of being anxious TO put a stop
10 depreda,ions. many Of our mos, infu-
entail people seem only 10 think Of ex-
cusing the Red mans barbarities by the
plea Of provocation. We ought 10 re-
feet tina, among no other people Is the
plea Of ''provocation considered sufhci-
ent excuse for murder and rapine espec-
ially If the victims of the one provoked
are personally innocent OF wrong toward
him.
This whole Indian business Is wretch
edly mismsnaged ; but would 1t not be
wise for US 70 devote our first attention
70 total suppression of these Indian
outbreaks which periodically carry ruin
and death into hundreds Of happy, limo
cent households, and after that Is done
turn our efforts toward redressing what
ever wrongs shall be found to have been
perpetrated:
1t is certainly unfair TO the pioneer to
require him TO furnish his share OF the
taxes for the subsistence Of the Indian,
and to furnish all the scalps and plumber
Tor them in addition. at his own expense,
especially 30 when we reflect that the
whole Indian population of the United
States could be supported at first elias:
Eastern hotels for less money than IS now
expended on their subsistence alone.

Now that the assassin Guitean has
been indicted BY the Grand Jury and the
law is about to be brought TO bear upon
him TO inAict punishment for his atrocious
crime, we may expect 10 be favored with
some choice reflections upon the barbar-
ity of capital punishment, by those over
sensitive, and tenderly sentimental peo-
pie who are 50 hercely opposed to Kidding
the world of It's worst class Of inmates
that the more desperate and hardened a
william is the more he seems commended
to their sympathy and admiration. We
shall no doubt have pictured 10 US in
moving terms the cruelty and oppression
of a whole nation following with anxious
eyes the trial of one poor wretch for his
life and we shall be exhorted by these
same opponents of capital punishment,
10 cease from thirsting for the blood OF
the miserable wretch.
In an instance ike this where the
crime is one which affects personally al
most every one in the land as If he had
lost member of his own family, such
sickly sentimentality will have but few
advocates, and the law will take its
course, to the great satisfaction, no doubt,
of all right minded people.
II is now good time for those who
have been giving in mild adhesion to
the doctrines of criminal preservers, to
look the question fairly in the face. and
ask themselves honestly if there would
be any useful end subserved by the alb
olition of the death penalty for murder.
