That Arrest by an Indiana Sheriff.

Mention was made in our columns re-
Gently of the arrest at his home, in Jeffer-
son County, of Marshall Ellsworth, by the
sheriff of Huntington County, Ind, and
took him to Indiana to answer a charge of
perjury. The charge appears, however, to
be very fimsy and frivolous one. It
seems that Mr.. Ellsworth was a
witness in breach of marriage
contract case, in which Miss Hiltebrand
obtained a judgment for 81, 200 against
Robt McCrum. Ellsworth was asked, on
the trial, if Miss Hiltebrand hal not asked
him to marry her, and he swore she
had not. Tittsworth remained in Indiana
some time after that, and returned to his
home in Jefferson County. He was indicted
for perjury afterwards, and taken back to
answer the charge, as has been related
In recent issue, the Lime City lind }
News, published in Huntington County,
says of him:
* Mr.. Tittsworth resided in this
county about eighteen months, and it is re-
lated to the Morgans, of Kelso and the
southern part of the county, and also to
Mr.. John Morgan of our town. Ellsworth
was born and raised in East Tennessee,
where his late connections are of the oldest
and most respected citizens.
When it was known in the community
where Ellsworth resides, in Tennessee,
that he had been arrested and was to be
brought here for trial, a number of the
most prominent citizens, among them an ex-
nt off Of
started an affidavit setting forth the facts
that Ellsworth was and always had been in
possession of the highest and purest charac-
ter among those who knew him, and this
paper will be sent here in a few days.
Aside from the absurd and trivial matter in
which he is charged of falsely swearing,
namely, denying that Miss Hiltebrand, an
intelligent and respectable youngtlady, ask
ed him to marry her. we know nothing, but
we do know that the friends and relatives OF
Ellsworth are exasperated, and you may
look out for business, and the
instigators will be known. = =
The following letter received, will explain
itself:
HUNTINGTON, IND, Dec 9th, 1881.
Mrs. III. III. Littworth, Messy Greek, East
Tenn:
DEAR MADAM: Being well acquainted
with your son, Marshall, having been his
physician during the autumn of 1880,
thought I would write ysu a few lines and
let you know what the general feeling il
here in regard to his case. You can rest
assured that public opinion is entirely in his
favor. No one believes him guilty, or that
he will be convicted He has good coun.
sci, and I am as well satisfied IS am that
am writing this letter, that he will be ac
| Quilted.
Your son conducted himself like gen
| tleman during his stay here in Indiana
Trouble yourself as little as possible abou
his case, as court begins next Monday, ant
it will not be long till he will return to yor
| perfectly vindicated from the charge tina
has been brought against him.
Yours, respectfully,
J. D, SEARLEs, NJ. D.

POOR BOYS, RECORD.
Fesc Of Them Who Hare Bcconse PresS
de1ats Of the United States.

The second President of the United
States, John Adams, was the son of
farmer of moderate means, who was
compelled to work constantly for the
support of his family. When, at the
age of 20, the son graduated at Harvard
College, his education was his own capi-
tai for his start in active life.
Andrew jackson was born in log hut
in extreme poverty. He grew up in the
woods of North Carolina, living in the
home of relative, where his mother
worked to support herself and her three
children.
James K. Polk, the eleventh Presi-
dent, spent his early days on farm in
| the wilderness of North Carolina. His
father placed him in store with the in-
tention that he should enter mercantile
| life; but his dislike for business was so
great that at the age of 18 he was sent
to the Murfreesborough Academy to fit
him for college.
| Nillard Fillmore was the son of a
New York farmer. and his home was an
humble one. When he was IA years of
age he was sent away from nome to
learn the business of clothier. But
five years later he entered law office,
and at the age of % was admitted to the
bar.
James Buchanan was born in small
town of the Allegheny mountains. His
father was poor, and by his own ak built
his home in the wilderness. When
James was 8 years of age he was placed
at school, and six years later entered
Dickinson College, where he graduated
with the highest honors.
1t is well known that Abraham Lin
coin was the son of parents who were
the poorest of the poor. Till he was
more than 2l his home was log cabin.
His attendance at school was limited to
few months. From early life he was
compelled to depend ON himself not only
for his living, but also for his success in
his business and his profession.
At the age of 10 Andrew johnson was
apprenticed to a tailor Previously his
mother had supported him by her own
labor. He was never able, it is said, to
attend school. His education he gained
by his own efforts at night, after work
ing all day at his trade, and by the help
of his wife.
The early home of Gen. Grant, also,
on tine banks of the Ohio, more than
fifty years ago, was without many of
the comforts of civilized life. Till he
was II, when he was sent to West
Point, he lived the life of a common
boy, in a common home.
James A. Garfield, like so many of his
predecessors, was born ia a log hut.
Wnen he was Al .,e.---svad Ills fe+bar
died. The family was poor. When he
had hardly entered his teens he was do
ing a mans work in the harvest field
He learned the carpenters trade. He
worked on the Ohio canal. He was de-
tefmned, however, 10 nave an educa-
ton, an |, leaving his plane ard his
scythe, he worked his way through the
preparatory school, and, with some help
from friends, was able to graduate at
Williams College.
The lives of many of the Presidents
prove that no boy is SO poor but that he
may hope to attain the highest honors
which the American people can give.
