The First Regiment EncnmP-
mont.

Capt. Geo. Bremen, of Company c.,
Capt. Charles Becht, Co. D., Capt. Rob-
ert Koernlein, Co. A, and Capt. John
F~oellger, Co. l., dropped off at Eaton
from last Sundays Richmond excursion
train from Cincinnati, and spent the day
with the boys looking owe the grounds
where the Regiment will camp in July.
They all returned home in the evening
we'll pleased with the grounds, the town
and the friends they met. In connection
with the encampment of the Regiment
at the Springs, we copy the following
frow the Cincinnati NEWS of Monday
morning last:
The First Regiment, o. n. G., Colonel
c. B. Hunt commanding, and the Sec
ond Ohio Battery, under command of
Captain w. H. Murphy, will 'encamp
this year at the mineral springs, one mile
west of Eaton. The ground chosen is
very desirable for camping purposes, be-
ing high, or dry soil, well drained, and
supplied with an abundance of water and
shade. The springs are quite a resort
for people of Eaton, Dayton, and Rich
mond, and will become much more of a
resort during the presence of the crack
regiment and the crack artillery company
of the state.

There is a class of long-faced, despond-
ent business menin Eaton, who the SOON
er dead and out of the world the better.
1t is remarked with pleasure that the in
dividual in mind is not numerous. He
generally has plenty of money. Go into
his place of business, and if he is not in
too bad humor, ask him elbows bust
ness?" He lengthens his countenance
and replies, sadly: "Slow, very slow. I
never saw business so dull this season of
the year. Sales are not comag up to
the average, and everything looks gloo-
N.Y." Then he signs, shakes his head
and wonders what the world is coming
to. Ask him what he thinks of the flu
ture of Eaton. He assumes, if possible,
a more woe-begone expression of coun-
tenance as he whines: "Eaton amt
what she used to be. Things will never
be as lively as they were. 1 wouldn't
advise you to put much money in Eaton
real estate" Then he leans his elbow
on his d~ust-covered and ancient show

his caller to depart in silence.
Then there are live tradesmen, whose
answers to questions pertaining to the
state of trade are commended to the class
of croakers just described. Go into his
house on the gloomiest and dullest day
in the season, and repeat the familiar
query, "how's business ?" The live man
grasps you warmly by the hand, as if he
meant it, and says: Business is boom
ing; never better; sold more goods du-
ring the past month than in any two pre-
ceding." Ask him what he thinks of
Eaton and her future. This question
pleases him. He loves to tell of his fav-
orite town and her advantages, and says,
we've got the best town in the State,
and she's improving every day. A man
can't do better than invest his money in
Eaton real estate. 1t will bring big re,
turns, better than any investment I know
of."

John YeaSer Fires His Dwell.
ing and then Commits Suicide.

John Yeager. of Eaton, who had been
leading a life of dissipation and reckless
living for several years, squandering
away his little patrimony and neglecting
his family, went to his home on Walnut
street last Monday afternoon, which is
a n story and a half dwelling, gathered
the bedding off of one bed and some 9TH
er clothing about the first floor, piled
them in the corner of a small room, satu-
rated them with coal oil and applied the
torch, then repaired to the second floor,
directly yer the room where the fire was
kindled, and hanged himself with a dou-
bic twisted Irvine string! His wife was
out at a neighbours doing washing and
ironing at the time, and his four chill
dren, two daughters and two sons, the
eldest about fifteen years old, were also
absent from the house. The smoke is
suing from the building soon caused the
alarm and brought out the engine, which
in a very short time subdued the flames.
He was found lying on. the floor OF the
upstairs room, the heat having burnt the
cord, with life entirely extinct. His
body was burned but slightly, but he
presented a very sickening appearance.
He was about A years old, and as init
mated above, leaves a wife and four
young children dependent upon their
own exertions for a livelihood, although
only a few years ago he was the possess
or of two or three thousand dollars. He
also leaves a married sister, the wife OF
Joseph Fassnacht. He served in the
Union army all through the late south
ern rebellion and it is said was a good
soldier. Suicide, it seems, was heredi.
tory in his family, two other brothers
having taken their lives with their own
hands.
Many of the household articles belong
ing to the family were destroyed or bad
ly damaged. The loss on the dwelling
is fully covered by insurance. 1t be
longs to William Vest.
Coroner Higgins rendered a verdict o
death either by suffocation or strangula
ton.

FIRST HOLY COMMUNION.
Confirmation and Dedication q
a New Bell,
At the Church of Visitation

Last Monday witnessed the ~dedicating
exercises of a new bell at the Church OF
Visitation of the B. V. NJ. on East MAR
street, by Coadjutor-Bishop William
Henry Elder, of Cincinnati. The cere-
monies were of a quite interesting and
imposing nature. In the morning at
about 8 o'clock mass was celebrated by
Bishop Elder, during which the Sacra-
ment of First Holy Communion was adj
ministered by the celebrant to a number
of young boys and girls. The latter were
neatly attired in white dresses, with long
white wells and neat white wreaths a.
dorning their heads emblematic of inno-
cence. After administering First Holy
Communion the Bishop addressed the
