LAST OF "YERUs,p
He Pays His Respects in a Parting Card to
MIR. Bramcher.

MIR. Braueher.
Mr.. Braucher, i'm his last reply, betrays
a temper not comp. p.lnentary to pro-
fessiOnal teacher. In discussing ques-
tiOn of history, not involving the char
acter of either disputant, there should
be no occasion for personal reflection.
His assertion, that | supposed he manu-
factured the statement attributed to
Lincoln, "Out of whole cloth, " is entirely
gratuitOus. The statement originated
with disuniOn abOlitiOnists of the north,
and the first man, (IhOrn, afterward a
Professor in Oberlin COllege) who uttered
it in Canton, was egged from the Judges
stand in the old Court House. l knew
Mr.. Lincoln had been charged with de-
claring. the sentiments attributed to him
by Mr.. BraucheT, but L had never seen
an avOwal of them over his own sigma
ture, and inasmuch, as they were so at
variance with the views of the Republ1-
can party as expressed in their plat
forms, have been lOath to believe he
could be betrayed into an expression so
reasonable to the spirit and intent of
the constitution of the United States.
AS well might you say this government
cannot endure, half Catholic and half
Protestant.
While | cOncede that Mr.. Braucher has
adduced cOIrObOrative proof that Mr..
Lincoln ulu use Jne lang uage attributed
to him, he nullified its force by subse-
quent official acts, previous to the eman
cipatiOn proclamation. So desiTOus was
his administration in the beginning of
the war, to demonstrate to the country
that they were not waging the war for
the abolition of slavery, that they would
resent the imputatiOn both in and out
of Congress, in proof of which l must
give a reminiscence of the army. Lieu
tenant Pickering, of the 69th Ohio, was
overheard to say in 1862, ''it is damned
abolition war" For this he was ordered
under arrest, court martialed, and the
sentence was, that he forfeit all back
pay (then over four months due) be inn
pTisOned in Nashville PenitentiaTy sixty
days; after which, to be escorted outside
our lines under guard. This is foreign
! to the question at issue between Mr.
| Braucher and myself, except so far as
! contemporary events would seem to con-
| tradict the idea that the President be-
lieyed what he is charged with saying
namely, "this Government cannot exist
half slave and half Free" and as l want
to continue to have a good opinion OF
Abraham Lincoln, will close the con,
trOVersy with the Oft-repeated saying:
| "a man convinced against his will
| Is of the same opinion still.n

SAIALL-POX.
A Case of the Dreaded Scourge Appers in
the City.


the City.
About week ago Anna Overcasher, a
sixteen year old step-daughter Of Mr..
VIM. Lackey, blacksmith, residing at
No. 80 South Cherry street, returned
from visit at Pittsburgh. On Tues
day last DR.. Philips was called to see
her, she having been taken sick. He
found all the constitutional symptoms
of variOlOid, and Immediately warned
the family, which is composed of father,
mother and five children, that they
should by all means be Yaccinated. On
Wednesday morning he again visited
the young lady and found that the first
stages of smallpox were apparent and
that eruptiOns were commencing to ap-
pear. DR.. Phillips Immediately notified
City Physician Slusser, who called to see
the young ady;Thursday both physicians
called and all of the children were vac
cinated. DR.. Phillips then turned the
patient over to the city physician.
Sunday evening, upon the case being
reported to the Mayor, he ordered that
yellow flag be placed on the house and a
sign put up. A guard was placed at the
house and will allow no ingress or
egress. Every step possible will be
taken by the Health Officer to prevent
the spread of the disease.

Election Notes,

Voting was very quiet, and the new
voting places easily found.
One contractor offers to build the City
Hall complete, for $4,000.
Election day was ushered in with a
glorious morning, and fine weather pre-
vailed.
The School Board don't intend to ask
for $4,000 to build a $4,000 school
house; especially when they have most
of the cash now in the treasury.
The city improvement question went
through with rOusing majority. The
''shop hands, and other cheap men,
knew as much as their fOremen, only it
was different kind of knowledge.
The Retrenchmenta and Reform" meet
ing in the Opera House on Saturday
night, furnished the missing link in
the chain of reasons for the big majority
for City Hall. That meeting made 500
votes for improvements.
Now as the City Hall is settled thing,
it would not be such bad idea 10 adopt
writer's plan of putting an Opera
House in the third floor, for, by next
August, the present amusement temple
will be cut up into law offices, you know
and Shaefer says the people must have
amusements.

All About Going West.

A great many people are preparing to
go West within the next few weeks.
Some have bought lands and are going
West to live, some are going to visit
friends, some are going for business pur-
poses, some are going for pleasure, and
others are going to prospect.
If you are one of these, you ought to
begin now to learn all about the routes
to the point you wish to reach in the
Great West, and this is good time to
remind YOU that the great Fort Wayne
route affords every facility for quick,
safe, and comfortable transit, and con-
meets in their new, mammoth Union
Station at Chicago with the big railroads
reaching all points in the West. You
don't have any omnibus transfers if you
travel on the Fort Wayne route, and it
is a rare case where you have to change
cars more than once. Pullman palace
sleeping cars run on all through trains
in which passengers holding first class
tickets NAV ride if they want to, but
passengers holding second class tickets
may ride on the same train in good com
Portable ears, and special attention is
given to She comfort and welfare OF
cOlonists With their families moving
West.
If you will apply in person or by let
ter or postal card to E. A, Ford, Genera
Ticket Agent of the Fort Wayne route al
Pittsburgh, Pa, he will tell you the low
est rate from any station on the For
Wayne line to any point in the West
how much it will cost to send you
freight, how to reach your destination
with fewest changes, and what train Il
take to make the best connections.
He will cheerfully furnish any infor
nation YOU desire, or if it is more con
venient you can address any Agent o
the Fort Wayne line who will be glad t
give you the same attention. 1t will b
to your advantage to transact your bust
ness with the authorized Agents of tn
Railroad Company, and give irresponsi
BILE outside 5harpers wide berth.

Dennis PierO and James HenseI were
arrested Sunday evening charged with
stealing a horse and buggy. The ciTcum-
stances of the case are as follows: Satur-,
day evening Jacob Hen0rberger came to
town with horse and buggy owned by
Frank Domino, living about three miles
north of HarrisbuTgh. He went to
Morris Graders saloon on East Tusca-
rawas street, where he tied his horse in
the alley running along the premises.
Just after he went in, the individuals
charged with the theft, left the saloon.
in about five minutes HenerbeTger came
out and found the horse and buggy
missing. Officers were notified and Sun
day evening arrested the two men. They
did not deny taking the horse, but said
some party had given them permission; (;
who the party was they could not say.
They drove to MassillOn, and the horse
became scared and ran away, throwing
them out. In default of one hundred
dollars bail the accused were committed
to Jail. The team was recovered later.

NIiddlehranch

Is the first station north of Canton ON
the COnnOttOn, some eight miles dis
tant. On Saturday, March 10Th, we
went thither on the morning train, re-
naming until the next train going
south. Every one must admire this
beautiful and fertile region, and the To-
cation is a good one for village.
Wise's grist mill on the creek is an old
and excellent institution fully appre-
ciated by the neighbOrhOOd. Mr.. Basil
Wise, son of George Wise, has store
at the old stand. The new structures,
however, put up since the COnnOttOn
railway was fixed, are nearer the rail-
way. Last year at the cross roads
north about a dozen new buildings
went up, some of them quite creditable,
and there the Hills have their store.
This town was laid out by Mr.. John
Pontius, and, we learn, several new
buildings will be erected this season.
At the station, Mr.. Andrew Crist has
new house nearly ready for occupancy
and good barn now ready for livery
business in which he expects to engage.
Mr.. Snyder has been occupying his hO-
tel building at the station since last
fall. On the track near the mill, Mr..
Christian Wise, another son of George,
has a gOOd-sized grain warehouse and
near here are also a couple of new
dwelling houses. Inc pOSI-OHlCe Is
kept by the Hills in their store. We
doubt not in course of time there will
be something of a town at Middle
branch. 1t is proper to say that the
land owners at Middlebranch were lib
eral in giving the right of way, Mr..
George Wise, H. H. Housel, and the late
Mr.. FirestOne deserving special men
tiOn in this respect. The COnnOttOn
Railway is doing much for the. country
through which it runs, and the improve
ment is only commencing. The youth
in and around Middlebranch should re-
member that, now they are getting a
town there, the inducements for lOafing
will be greater and the dangers for fall
ing into bad habits be greatly increased
We say then to the worthy youth there
away, beware of lOaing and consequent
foolishness. Don't be tObaccO-squirt
boys, nor loafers and guzzlers.

The old reliable butcher stand of Geo.
Winner, Tenth and Cherry streets, does
not need to go out of the even tenor of
its way to prepare for the Easter trade.
The uniform excellence and fine quality
of the meats handled by him is just as
suitable at this season as at any other
time. The quality may be a little
higher grade at present, for the reason
that many stock raisers and farmers,
fatten cattle especially for spring kill
ing, and Mr.. Winner is cutting up the
best the country can raise. When man
deals in "the best" all the year round, it
is hard to make any unusual display,
like some who are not as good cattle
judges.

"Carpets and Curtains. :"

Buyers of Carpets and Curtains should
remember we are now showing the

boring cities to put down carpets and

A growing nuisance in the city is the
large number of business signs that
stretch their length from building to
gutter, across the pavement. Sign-pOsts
with heOvy business emblems on them
are another violation of the city Ordi-
nance. A violent wind would shake
them up and somebody get hurt. To
given direction reminds the behOlder of
a country village, where all the adver-
tising is done by means of staring
signs and empty boxes. Clean them out,
Mr.. Commissioner, they won't look well
with our new City Hall.

Our Eclipse Boat Club will send to-
day proposition to the Northwestern

citation, free transportation of contest

mittee, and grand complimentary ball

Grafton to make the regatta and recep-
tiOn a success. The club further voted
$40 to the fun to send the Hillsdale,
Michigan cub to Europe. They will
equip their DOat house at Myers Lake
with lockers. Ed. f. Frease was adj
mitted as member.

Mr.. John Schroeder sold the celebrated
steers, noticed in this paper few weeks
ago, to Fred Ertle s. Son, of MassillOn.
These young, fat, steers were raised by
H. Jenner, at Litchfield, Ohio, and are
undoubtedly the finest beef cattle ever
brought into Stark county. They tip
the beam of the scales at 1885 and are
not quite four years of age. How is that
for fresh veal? Mr.. Schroeder makes a
business of buying and selling cattle
and handles none but the very best.

A man named L. w. Ollinger, of Louis
vile, Stark county, is the victim of a
dastardly act. Some days ago he was in
Fort Wayne, Indiana, preliminary to re-
moving with his family to Auburn, In
diana. While there, two scOundrels who
pretended to be friends of his, informed
him that his wife and eldest daughter
had died during his absence. Almost
crazed by grief, he took the next train
for home, only to find his wife and
daughter safe and unhaTmed. The men
tai strain he had undergone, coupled
with the joyous surprise at finding his
family alive, proved too much for him,
and dethrOned his reason. He is now in
a precariOus condition, and will prob
ably die. Mr.. Ollinger had consider
able sum of money deposited in a Fort
Wayne bank, which the fellows thought
he would probably draw out before re-
turning home, and thus give them an
opportunity to rob him. Fortunately
Ollinger left the money where it was.
