unhappy beings who remained in the
houses after the eruption first reached
the town made their escape through the
windows; but the greater part of these
fugitives could have taken but few steps,
and must have been quickly suffocated
by the poisonous fumes. With one arm
the woman whose skeleton has now
been found was clasping the legs of the
child, whose body shows contraction in
the arms and legs and general emacia-
ton; which leads us to suppose that the
child must have been very i'll. 1t was q
little boy, about ten years of age. Doubt
less the woman was the mother of the
child. Some jewels found on the female
skeleton indicate a person of condition;
two bracelets of gold encircled the arm
which held the boy, and on the hand were
two gold rings, one set with an emerald
on which is engraved horn of plenty,
and the other with an amethyst bearing
head of Mercury.

The ditch bill introduced in the
House by Representative Tyler, Of
Henry county, meets with strong op-
position from a number of counties
interested in dltching, Wood county
being notably against it. 1t is argued
that while the ditch laws might be
improved, it will be better to let well
enough alone, until such time as a
concert of action can be secured among
practical ditch men and auditors, sur
veyors and commiss ioners, of the State
directly interested in such matters.
What district convention composed
of the class attended to, might decide
upon would probably be good and de-

NAPOLEON, O., March 24.-The corres-
pondent of the Northwest, who attacks
our Commissioners in such an unfair
manner, and who does not know what he
is talking about, should subside until he
can confine himself to the truth in his
statement. He says the Commissioners
have been paying storage and insurance
for months on the Court House furni-
ture; that it cost $14, 900, and soinferior
in quality that the Commissioners
of Union County would not have it, all
of which is false from beginning to end.
The facts are these: That not one cent
has been paid for storage or insurance;
that the furniture cost less than $40 900;
that the furniture is of the very best quail
ity, and the Commissioners of Union
County were so much pleased with the
excellence of the work that they awarded
the contract to the parties who made it +,
over all competitors.

A Farmers Dream.


some people to know that farmer
ever dreams, and yet he does dream.
In fact. it is not unfrequent to find
one who even loves to dream, and who
is permitted to look into the future
and make great speculatlons IN crops
and stock, &c. But we wish to call
your attention to one particular dream.
This man had been sick for many
months, confined to his house and bed
He had almost despalred of ever gett-
ing around on his farm again, until
one stormy night the rain that beat
upon the roof had ratified him into
sort of doze or sleep. 1t was then
that he saw or had a glimpse of what
his future might be. He saw in that
dream a very large building and in
that building he saw many things
which astonished him; they were
strange; he had never seen them be-
fore. At one end of the store he saw
four men busily engaged in counting
pills, putting them in boxes, and
wrapping red papers around them.
He then was told that he had been
sick for long time and that by tr,s-
ing Just one box of these pills that he
would be entirely cured, and could
once more plow the fields and till the
soil with pleasure, and profit, and
without pain.
For the general information of our
many thousands of readers w would
state right here that the snan to
which the above refers lives near St.
Paul, Minnesota, that the dream or
vision, which ever you may call it,
made such an impression on his mind
that he actually ordered one dozen of
Saur's Vegetable Blood and Liver
Pills, thas he took them according to
directions and was cured. This man
further states, that in that dream he
). saw into every part of Saur's Drug
and Book Store, that even up stairs,
on the second floor, he saw a great
large stock of the most beautiful Wall
and Window Papers, fine decorating
papers. which looked nice enough to
put on fairy houses. In the cellar he
saw large quantities of oils, great stacks
of many different colored paints. var
nishes, &c.
On the main or first floor, where he
saw the pills put up, he also saw many
people busily engaged N buying diff
ferent kinds of medicines, window
shades, brushes, nice books, papers
&C.. in fact he could see most every.
thing and anything here, and it almost
seemed to him at first to be manner
of museum. He noted that extremely
great pains we're taken to keep every
hing nice and fresh, that the good
health and welfare of the people were
held sacred rather than the dollars
and cents. That all attention was
given to those who called here (anc
there seemed to be no end to the visit
ors), and their best interests consider
ed. 1t was all this which gave tht
dreamer such explicit confidence, anc
which induced him to make the ex
pertinent, and we are proud and pleas
ed to say that he to-day, with thous
ands of others, rejoices in having founc
Balm in Gilead, in having his healtl
restored, in having that peace and hap
piness on this earth which good heait'
alone can give.
And this man does not keep th'
cause of his reioicings to himself, bu
upon every occasion offered he take
delight to enlighten his fellow man
and the consequence is much goot
is growing out of this farmers dream

Millions for Plunder.
New York Sun, Dem.

The Republican majority in Congress
appear to have firmly resolved that the
taxes of the people shall not be dimin--
ished. Though far in excess of the actual
necessities of the Government, they are
TO be maintained at exactly the same ex-
Asrbitant figures. The millions to be
>yrawn from the people are to be applied
to enormous projects. Thus the oppor-
tunities OF public plunder are to surpass
all previous experience, and the days of
Tweedism and of Grantism are to be put
in the shade. But perhaps the people
will have something to say to this vast
programmeof plunder when their turn
comes in the year 1884.
