AS we seldom see anything emanaiing from this re-
tired and sequestraed spot rma, quite
an event has transpired among aud elation

ourselves of this opportunity of promulgating the

We have full fedged flock of officers elect, who are
eager and willing to take the oath of allegiance and

FRANK HATToN, the new First As
sistant Postmaster General is editor of

an Ohioan by birth and was an enthu-
siastic "Third Termer." Many news
paper men have attributed this ap-
pointment to Gen. Grants recent
visit to Washington. We are of
opinion, however, that President Ar

advice Of Ex-President Grant or any
body else, in making appointments.

GROy Preacher ~

Some Of our readers-perhaps all of
them-have doubtless read of the
wonderful, inspired sermons, preached
by young Harrison, the ''boy preach
er." The story Of Harrison's won
derful performances has had its effect.
Where young America fails to catch
the inspiration, he at least catches the
spirit of imitation. Harrison was not
to have the field all to himself, and
now we hear of a ''boy preacher"
named Meredith who has been on trial
before an Illinois Conference, on
charges Of swearing, drunkenness, ly-
ing, smoking, and claiming to be a
Republican when he was a Democrat. ~
We should think the last charge would
be enough to seriously embarass any
well-regulated preacher.

The United States Senate last week
presented the strange spectacle of the
Democratic Senators exhausting par
iamentary tactics in order to. prevent
the turning out Of crippled soldier
from Virginia Postoffice, and put
ting 'Readjuster' i'll his place. It is
thought by the Democratic Senators
that the move is for the purpose Of
aiding Senator Malone and the Re-
adjuster party, and injuring the Bour-
bon Democratic party Of Virginia.
Malone, it seems, is not popular with
the Democratic Senators.

There will be a series of chambers
along the bore, each of which will dis

Three masked men boarded a train
on the Pittsburgh and Ft. Wayne R.
R., and attempted to rob the passen-
gers, between Bucyrus, Ohio, and
Pittsburgh, Pa. There were several
male passengers on the train, but the
robbers escaped. The Railroads will
yet have to adopt the only effective
mode of defense -arming their crews
with double-barreled shot-guns, and
only employing such men as have the
nerve to use them. No train-robbel
can stand. more than two charges OF
buck-shot.

votes the Democratic ticket, but he takes delight in
making sport of the fo1es of his party. He has been
married thirty years, and his children all from

is married and living at Frankfort Ross county and

Court of Common Pleas.

Court met promptly at 10 o'clock
on Monday morning, Judge James
Trip presiding. The names of the
Grand Jurors were called, and twelve
of the fifteen answered and took their
seats. Gilbert Robbins, B. F. Smith
and M. Gilmor were called to fill the
vacancies. James M. Arthur was ap-
pointed Foreman, and the Jury were
sworn, and then the Judge proceeded
to give the usual charge Some parts
of the charge deserve special notice
The Judge said that the Jury should
not take into consideration whether
an act made unlawful by Statute is
regarded by the public as light mat
ter, but the Jury should treat every
violation of every law as though it
were the greatest Of crimes. (This
was evidently intended to refer to the
liquor law, the laws against gambling,
betting upon elections, &c.)
Assault and battery was described
as the unlawful touching of another
in rude and insolent manner, wheth-
er any injury be inflicted or not.
Being intoxicated is made an offense
by our Statute, but it is somewhat
difficult to define intoxication. 1t
does not mean that the party shall get
down, drunk; but where the use of
strong drink causes the party to act
differently from the manner in which
he would act when in his normal con-
dition, he may be said to be intoxica-
ted under our Statute.
Various other crimes and offenses
were defined and explained, and among
others, reference was made to the
Wellston shooting case. When an
officer has warrant to arrest a party
or when he sees violation Of the | NV
it is his duty to make the arrest, and
if resistance be made, he can use force
against force, until the arrest be com
plete. An officer may carry arms, al
though it is unlawful for others to dc
so. When an arrest has been made
and the party arrested attempts to es-
cape, if the charge be felony-a peni
tentiary offense, or capital crime, the
officer may even take life, if the party
cannot otherwise be captured; but
when the charge is only an ofense
human life is too sacred to be taker
in such case. There might, however
be exceptions. Suppose great rio
should be in progress in the town o.
Jackson, and great crowds collected
and life endangered, and two or three
Of the leaders Of the riot should be dr.
rested and they should attempt to re
gain their liberty, in order to continue
the riot, it might be necessary to taxi
their lives, if they could not other
wise be held.
The Judge remarked that he under
stood that large number of witness
es-near three hundred-would ap
pear before them, and if a case shoule
be clearly made out by two or thre'
witnesses, it would not be necessar.
to 60 on and examine twenty more IL
the same case.
A large number Of witnesses wer
then called and sworn to go befor
the Grand Jury.

The Won Steubens-descendants of
Baron Won Steuben, who assisted in
the capture Of Cornwallis, at York
town-are seeing the sights" in this
country. They were in Cincinnati
on Friday, under escort Of Mr.. Wal
ker Blaine, son Of the Secretary of
State. Even the attentions shown by
the younger Blaine to the distinguish
ed visitors has set lot Of newspapers
to bowling. These claim that the ell
der Blaine is thus advertising himself
for the Presidential canvass Of 1884.
As to that, should Mr.. Blaine be an
nounced as candidate, we do not be-
lieve there is a man in the country
who can beat him. AS to young Mr..
Blaine, his department has been a
model Of medesty and gentlemanly
bearing, and, after it's experience with
Fred Grant and Webb Hayes, the
country can afford to love young
Blaine.

The horse disease known as "pin

The horse disease known as "pink-
eye' is rapidly spreading in Cincinna-
ii. This disease is form of infuen-
"a, similar to the epizootic. The
symptoms are, increased pulse, swollen
legs, eyes nearly closed, and sore
throat. After couple Of days the
legs become so sore that the animal
cannot bear to be touched. The "cor-
ners" Of the eyes become unusually
red-from which fact the disease de-
rives its name. This disease is not at
all dangerous, if properly treated.
The average duration of the disease is
about ten days.

The Old Love!

How frequently is presented the
spectacle Of people who have been
married for years becoming estranged
through some trivial dispute! 1t not
infrequently happens that husband
and wife who have lived together con-
tentedly for half lifetime, have a
''falling-out," and, at such a time,
reason must step back and allow di-
vorce to settle the difficulty. If peo-
pie could look deep down into their
hearts at such time, they would see
the "old love" so strong that they
would be heartily ashamed Of such
giving way to passion.
This wise course was adopted by a
man named Sandefeer, a few days
ago, at Shelbyville, Indiana. Sande'
feer became offended at his wife. He
applied for divorce. He was deter.
mined, Sandefeer was, that he would
not live with that woman another
day. The case came to trial one day
last week. Mrs. S. did not attempt
to make any case, save to establish
her right to the custody Of their child
The testimony being all in, the Judge
granted decree of divorce to Mr.. S
As soon as the decision was rendered
Mr.. S. and his late wife went to one
corner of the Court room to bid each
other farewell, an eternal FAREWELL
All eyes turned toward them. After
a few moments conversation, the eyes
of both filled with tears; they grabbed
each other, and more lively scene Of
hugging and kissing was perhap:
never seen in public. The Judge was
an attentive spectator Of the scene
and after witnessing it for a few sec.
onds, he concluded that they coulc
get along pretty well together. Seiz
ing pen, he erased from the docket
the decree Of divorce, and the happy
couple went forth as husband anc
wife, to again take up the burdens
and trials of married life. It is fail
to presume that Mr.. and Mrs. Sande
feer are now as happy couple al
there is in the whole state of Indiana

FUn Ahead.

1t will be remembered that at the
last term of the Court Judge Trip
announced from the Bench, in open
Court, that at the next term, if any
person should be found guilty Of a
violation of the liquor law, either on
plea of guilty or upon trial, part of
the punishment would be imprison-
ment in the county jail. This would
be the sentence in all cases, whether
it be first or second conviction.
Soon after Court some of the doggery
keepers laughed, and said they were
not afraid-that Judge Trip had
made this threat before, and he dare
not carry it out-that he was afraid
to do so, &c. Since the last term there
has been more liquor sold in Jackson
than was ever before sold in the same
length of time. Some of these out
laws will be convicted, and they aoill
haze to go to jail. Noso mark that
Judge Trip is not a liar. We have
known him pretty we'll, for more than
a quarter Of century, and have trans
acted good deal of business with
him. He is man Of truth, in all
things.
