Concerning the man who was lodged here on

"On Thursday afternoon John Hoffman called
upon Squire Forr.tal and told him that about
three years ago he, the said John, had stolen and
taken away II horse OF the value Of 500, the
property Of Mrs Fair, Of Dayton, Of this county,
and sold the same for the sum Of $50. He had
been wandering over the face OF the earth like
an Ishmaelte ever since, was weary and would
willingly rest in the new jail, Furthermore, he
wanted TO see his sister who lived in Ottawa, and
il he ventured within the limits Of that city with
out the protection Of the strong arm Of the law
he feared being mobbcd. The squire took his
affidavit and put him under $500 bonds to appear
before the Circuit Court al the January term
thereof. He couldt get bail and his hearts de
sire was gratifed by being furnished with free
ride to the county seat to await trial for horse
stealing"

Marriage of Samuel W.. miller
and Miss Winnie Cannon.

Huntington pa.) Monitor, Oct. 81
At noon, on Tuesday, was solemn
lied the marriage of Lieutenant
Samuel w. Miller to Miss Minnie
Carmen, at the residence Of the brides
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Carmen.
Rev. Richard Hinkle oficiated Lieu
tenant Miller is a graduate of the
West Point military school, and for
the past four years has been in active
service in Fort Keogh, Dakota Terri
tory. The bride was one of Hunting
don's most estimable and accomplished
young ladies. She graduated with
honors at the seminary at Birmingham
and for the past two years attended a
conservatory Of music in Boston, and
as a vocalist she has few superiors.
Miss Minnie, now Mrs. Miller is also
a model housekeeper, and will make
her liege lord an excellent wife. On
Chicago Express the same day they
took their departure for the far West,
where Mr.. Miller is stationed. Quite
a number Of friends and relatives were
at the train to bid them farewell, and
wish them a very happy and prosper
Gus married life. Our c~ongratula-
tiOns are extended and best wishes 20
out to the happy couple.
The young lady alluded to above,
although she has never been South. is
known of here in Memphis, and
merits all that is said of her in this
complimentary notice. Her parents
are solid, high toned, substantial peo-
pie, and one stand better in the
community where they live. In
August, 1880, a brother Of this young
lady died Of consumption soon after he
returned from the far West with bis
mother. 1t was his desire to see again
this, his favorite sister, more than all
the rest. They we're near the same
age, had grown up together, and the
strongest ties existed between them.
The readers of the LEDGER will
remember an incident connected with
that trip home-the rude action of a
conductor detailed in these columns,
which led 10 his discharge. The wish
Of the dying boy was gratifed. BE
lived TO see his sister and all the tam
lily, and to breathe his last under the
parental roof. The sister now goes
fortha happy bride, aud the fonde5t
wishes and hopes cluster around her
in the hearts of many friends.

A Wonderful Business Growth,

The history of the widely known
house Of Joseph Burnett & Co.. of
Boston, shows a large and hourishinp
industry, which has grown from small
beginnings. The extensive business
Of this house, which has extended to
nearly every civilized country in the
world, had its origin in what might be
called an incident, or an accident,
some thirty years ago. At that time
Mr.. Joseph Burnett, the founder Of
the house was doing a large apothe-
cary business on fremont street.
opposite the Boston Museum.
A lady who had lived in France and
become accustomed to French meth.
DDS Of cookery, came into Mr..
Burnett's store one day and asked him
if be could not make a decent Flavor
ing Extract for her, as she found
those in common use abominable.
She wanted an extract Of vanilla.
This was made, which pleased the
lady very much, and from this simple
beginning has grown a business, n
single branch Of which now consumes
one-fourth Of the entire Mexican
product, which IS the only recognized
best quality Of vanilla in the world.
1t may be here remarked that an
extract Of the Tonka, or Snuff Bean"
is largely made aud sold fer Vanilla
Extract, though the favor Of the
Ionka is no more to be compared with
the vanilla than a burdock is TO a rose.
Some fifty persons are now directly
employed by this concern in the varied
work Of bottling, labelling, packing
and boxing their various Flayorine
Extracts and Toilet Preparations, ali
Of which are Of an altogether superior
nature.
Burnett's Cocaine is a remarkably
fine preparation in liquid form of dec.
dorized cocosDut oil, for promoting
the growth OF the hair and beautifying
it, and it is generally acknowledged to
produce a finer effect than any other
hair dressing.
Burnett's Kalliston as a wash for
the complexion, to allay irritation Of
the skin and scalp, and for the bites
Of insects, stands unriyalled among
the preparations of the day. Lately
and by accident it was discovered to
be an almost sovereign remedy for
itching piles.
Burnett's Cologne is really cologne.
The oil Of lavender commonly used to
make cologne with costs about SIZE
a pound, while the Mitcham oil of
lavender, used by the Burnett's. is
imported at a cost Of s26 a pound
Everything used in the Burnett pre.
partitions are of the very best. The
spirits used are made specially for
their use, and are the purest product
Of the still that can be produced. II
is Mr.. Burnett's pride to feel that he
is giving no inferior article to the
%con6ding public who patronize him.
He has associated with him in
his business two of his sons, whom he
has brought up in the way Of fair deal
ing, and the spirit Of pride in the
production Of superior goods which he
has made the system Of his life, and
they will no doubt continue the
business in that way when he shall
have retired from its active pursuit
which will not be in a few years. for
Mr.. Burnett is a hale, young looking
man at the present time.

LUCKY on nj TURF.
The Late II. w. Mackey's Old
Long Branch Partner.
P~bilsdslphia Times.l

Philadelphia Times.l
Mr.. f. Theodore Walton, formerly
Recorder of Deeds Of this city, but
for several years past the proprietor of
the st. James Hotel, New York, con.
tinues his remarkably successful
career as a "plunger' on the English
turf. A "pluDger," in turf parlance,
is one wh9 bets on such a gigantic
scale hat he fairly 'paralyzes' the
bookmskers, as Mr.. Waltoni is credited
by the English papers with doing. He
first attracted general attention at the
Doucaster meeting, where he is said to
have won altogether some $50, 000, his
last business at hat meeting being TO
put $4,000 on IroquOis for the St.
Leger. At the Newmarket Second
October Meeting, Mr.. Walton sur
prised all his previous performances,
aud is reported as having netted $780,
600, having taken every bet that was
offered against Foxhall in the Cesare-
witch On Tuesday last Mr.. Walton
was again on hand at Newmarket as a
hacker Of Foxhall, whose victory in
the race for the Camhridgeshire hand
leap, according to a cable dispatch,
netted him $4,000. 1t is not sur
prising that Mr.. Walton's achieve
ments are "paralyzing" the English
men who are so confident that there
are no staying qualities in American
bred horses. Mr.. Walton has thus
far fairly equaled, if he has not sur
passed, the performances Of the
Marquis OF Hastings and the Duke
Of Newcastle, fifteen years or so ago.
Ii is to be hoped that his luck will
hold out. In the cases Of the two
great "plungers' just mentioned did
not. Lord Hastings, the slim lad on
the grey cob" as be was called, netted
100000 on the CesareWitch, but the
following spring be lost over 100000
en- the Derby. and was utterly bank
rupted. The Duke of Neeastle in
1861 also landed an immense stake on
the Cesarewitch. but his ruin was not
long delayed. although he had a rent
roll of s75,OOO a year when be went on

HUNGRY OFFICE SEEKERS
Tennessee Republicans Looking
for the Fat Places.
Special to The Cincinnati Commercially

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.l
WASHINGTON, October 28.-The
only Republican Governor in the
Southern States-Hawkins, of Ten.
nesee,-has been here for several days
and had frequent talks with the Presi-
dant. Other prominent Tennessee
Republicans have also been here, and
have attempted to impress the Presi-
dent with the fact that Tennessee can
be made reliably Republican if the
proper means are applied. The fact
that the State has a Republican Gov
ernor goes a good ways toward getting
them a hearing on this subject. "By
their fruits ye shall know them" and
a live Governor, with spectacles and a
walking cane, is visible fruits. The
President has been made acquainted
with the fact that Tennessee casts
10000 Republican votes, and yet has
but one Bureau official at the National
Capital. Judge Freeman is Attorney
General for the Post Office Depart
ment, and that is all Tennessee has
among the higher grade Of officials. It
has been shown that the Republican
vote Of Tennessee is about one.t third
that of Ohio, and in the same proper
ton of division Of fat places, Ohio
should have but three Bureau officials
herel She has something more than
that. 1t is needless TO say that the
Tennesscabs make out a strong case,
and the result may be an important
appointment o. two before long from
that State.
