The Forthcoming History of
Butler County.

The publishers of this volume in
which so much interest is centered
evince laudable zeal and energy In
the manner in which they are compil-
ing the work. They have an efficient and
experienced corps of writer's who
may be found in almost any portion of
the county interviewing the old resi-
dents, examining old documents and
newspaper files, and from the very
thorough manner in which the work is
being done, only one result is to be
looked for complete and exhaustive
history as near perfect as can be made
at this time. Perhaps the most valua-
BILE and interesting portion of the his
tory will be that devoted the portraits
and biographies of those most largly
identified with the county's growth
and development, and from the interest
that is being taken in this part of the
work by our best citizens we expect it
to be as complete as the historical
portion. No more fitting acknowledge
ment could be made to those who may
be appropriately called the Founders
of the County" for the hardships and
privations they passed through in the
eany days, than in giving their life
history supplemented by portrait.
We sincerely hope that these men will
have full justice done them. Already
large number have been assigned
places in the work, among the num-
Der we may mention the names of
Judge John Bredin, Judge Marshall,
Gen. Purviance, VIM. Campbell,
Peter Duffy, Capt William Walker,
Samuel G.. Purvis, Jonathan Walker,
Patrick Graham. In the northern
portion OF the county there are many
equally deserving, and we hope to
see their biographies and portraits
associated with those already mention
ed The fact must he borne in mind
that the history of Butler county
will not be rewritten in the life time
of anyone now living, and that what
ever is neglected will become a source
Of regret in after years. Another
feature we wish to allude to, and that is
the embellishments. 1t is highly i'm
portant that the work should be well
illustrated, in no way can finer ex.
hibit be made, of our enterprise and
wealth, than the representation of our
homes and farms. The artist, Mr.. F
M. Gilbert, is busily engaged in
making sketches of many of the rep
resentative places of the county, ant
from the work which has been shown us
we can assert positively that the pic
torial portion will be par-excellence-
We shall take occasion to allude t
this part Of the work again, and W.
advise those who may be invited to b.
represented in this department. to Civ,

Up in Story County, John B. York, an agri-

herds valued at $4,000 Susan Mosier bad
about $500 stored away, and she was will ng to
marry him. A joint agreement was made be-
tween them, by which York and Susan con-
veyed each to the other all right and title to
the property then owned by them, and by
which the said property should descend to the
present heirs of the said York and Susan All
properly acquired thereafter was to be owned
In common, and in case of the death of either
such acquired property should be divided
equally. In case York died first, and there
was not enough of Susan's share to maintain
her, then there should be paid out of York's
share $500 to Susan during her life, AT the
end of seven weeks and two days Susan took
up her bed and walked and dissolved the part

q claim for the annuity, and averfed that York,
got drunk and she coulo not live with him;
that he didn't reform as she expected he would
ruled her out of court She came to the SUI
preme court, and that court says the lower
court did right; that she married drunkard
and she must be content to be a drunkard's
wife. The consideration of the ante-nuptal
contract was the marriage; if the marriage con-
tract is broken the ante-nuptial contract can
not be enforced 1t would be monstrous 10
hold that the woman could cole 1t The annuity
settled upon her in view of marriage, when
without cause she utterly refused TO live with

Important to Cyclopadia Buyers.

More than 100 people in Portland and
vicinity,-105, to be exact-including clergy
men, lawyers, physicians and business men,
have within the past three weeks subscribed
for the Encyclopedia Britannica, at full price
through the agents of Charles Scribner's
Sons. A few former subscribers, who have
been beset with plausible misrepresentation
of the work, have been led to tn, ow up their
subscriptions, in plain violation of good
faith. Some others, unwilling to dishonor
an obligation, have accepted the urgent Of
fer of one J. E Miller, to assume their sub
scriptons and exchange the volumes already
issued for Appleton's Cyclop@dia. Allsuch
persons however, remain honorably and
legally bound by their original subscriptions.
He invites all who desire to inv stgate the
merits of the two cyclopadias mentioned to
make careful examination and comparison
of the volumes, side by side; and since most
persons will still prefer the "foreign cyclic
padia,' he can supply, at secondhand, odd
volumes as far as issued, and the balance he
will cheerfully supply at regular price. pro-
Uided he can get them. After eight previous
editions of the Encyclopedia Britannica
have won for it the foremost place, and the
Ninth Edition, now two-thirds com
sale Of oeer $4,000 sets, the public have
no doubt either of its completion or OF its
vast superiority to Appleton's Cyclopadia-
whether in the hastily made editions of 1873,
70 and 81, or the more valuable sold edi-
ton" of 1878, which with no more matter
