ALLEN EAsTERLING is in jail at New Lexington,
Perry county charged with murder, having fatally
stabbed a named Page, at Straitsvfe, a short
time ago. There fears of mob taking him from
the jail and lynching him. Poor ALP 1t begins to
look though he has reached the end of his rope
During residence of several years in Jackson, he
was almost constantly in trouble growing out of
his rough disposition. Perhaps no man of his age
has had more hard knocks the head than Easter
ling. He became engaged in fight over at Mabee's
Corners, some years ago, in which his antagonists
doubled teams'' on him, and killing him.
The Jackson police hammered at his head until the
business became monotonous. "Al." is fine speci-
men of physical manhood and it is great pity he
could not have lived differently all these years.

ONE Of the strong points Of evi-
dence showing the insanity of Gui-
teau, is the fact that he once paid a
debt Of $3.50 by simply giving his
note, and he considered that a pay
ment of the debt. That was exactly
what was held and believed by
William Allen when he was elected
Governor Of Ohio, and was believed by
the Democratic party, which elected
him. It is yet believed by the green
hackers. We always believed that the
Democrats and greenbackers who la
bored under this delusion were cranks
CRAZY. Now we know it.
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1881-12-08

The cranks are coming to the sur
face all around. One appeared at
HilIsborough last week. He said the
Lord had sent him to burn the old
courthouse. He also had his eye on
the Presbyterian Church.
-Four cranks who were inspired" by
the Lord, were sent to the asylum in
Washington City in one day, and an
other turned up in Detroit, we believe,
who signed his name 'Eyerybody's
Jesus" and some long mess of stuff
about St. Paul.

ONE Of the points of evidence relied

ONE Of the points Of evidence relied
upon to prove Guiteau's insanity is
fact testified to by brother of the
assassin. The witness said that his
brother, in his lecture, held that all
who did not believe as he did, would
go to hell. This will hardly establish
his insanity, as we suppose President
Garfield himself believed the same
thing. This belief is almost universal

THE rapidly disappearing forests of the United
States beginning to attract public attention 1t
will be but short time until black walnut and other
valuable timber will be entirely In some parts
of the country, the forests wantonly destroyed
especially is this the where owners live at dis
tance and forests visited by squaters And many
farmers set too light value upon timber lands 1t
would be well for landowners to pause and reflect,
occasionally that it will not be great many years
until the people of this country will be turning their
attention 70 e nlanting of forests.

GUIrEAU was subjected to a rigorous cross-exami-
nation, last week. by Judge Porter. The prisoner,
during great portion of the cross-examination dis
played as much shrewdness the lawyer-but Judge
Porter finally asked Guiteau the direct question:
do you feel any remorse?'' The prisoner answered
ST have felt remorse, course far my personal
feelings concerned' Judge Porter said that was
the end of the the principal aim
of which seemed be get that admission from the
prisoner as if he insane, he would probably
feel any cemorse at his terrible crime.

Mayor Aleshire informs us that one OF
the Turner boys killed a man on Monday
at Richland Furnace, in the edge of
Vinton County. He struck him with a
four-pound weight, and kicked him a
couple of times after he was dead. We
did not learn the name of the murdered
man. Turner made his escape.

The Cincinnati Gazette saws:

1t is almost impossible to punish crime in this city,
where criminals have money to fee lawyers. The law
is strained the utmost in the interest of criminals
and this is called justice, while all doubts inter-
spect for law. No wonder crime is rampant. No
wonder the number of murders averages in this
almost one in every twenty-four hours. Crime is
protected, and criminals not afraid. The only
classes who have any to be afraid this COM
munity are the law and order members of society.
And yet the Gazette is unalterably
opposed to wiping out the accursed
beer and whisky traffic, which is the
cause of all this crime and lawlessness.

A BROTHER OF SENATOR DAVIS OF
WEST VIRGINIA SHoT.-On Thursday
week, in Mineral county. w. Va, Mr..
T. B. Davis, brother of Senator Davis,
and one of the firm of Davis Brothers.
while prospecting for coal in a rough,
unfrequented place near the North
Branch, was shot by some person to
himself unknown. Examination of
the wound developed that the ball had
entered the gum overcoat worn by Mr..
Davis, passed through it, thick under
coat, the vest and underclothing, and
cut q furrow in the flesh just above the
right nipple. making only slight
wound. It was a glancing shot, fired
Just as he was in the act of facing to the
right, or it would probably have resulted
fatally. Who did it is still mystery.
Mr.. Davis is under the impression it
was done accidentally and came from
the Maryland side. Some one, he
thinks, either mistook him for game of
some kind, or shot at something in the
river and the bullet glanced. He can
hardly believe any person did it through
malice, as his relations with employees
and miners and the citizens in that Sec
ton have been of the most friendly ma
ture. He received the congratulations
of many friends on his narrow escape.
The strange part of the affair is, that if
Che shot was accidental, why the party
failed to respond to their calls.

REPUBLICANS COME DOWN.-On
Wednesday last. the Republicans in the
U. s. Senate concluded to do what the
Democrats have been trying for two
months to get them to do-that is, to go
into executive session and attend to the
business for which the President called
an extra session. The Republicans had
Heretofore persistently refused to do
so, and insisted on the reorganizat ion
of the Senate by change of officers
This the Democrats resisted, and did so
successfully, and the Republicans had
to come down from their position. It
was hard, but they had it to do.
