Some rather amusing things occur
sometimes A few months ago there was
Sheriff's sale of land, wherein Oliver S.
Miller was plaintiff, and L. W. Kinnison
and others were defendants. Now Miller
and Kinnison have been very warm
friends, and many persons were shocked
to learn that they had gone to lawing
each other The fact is, that it was a
case of partition. Each owned an undi-
vided interest in the land, and there were
other joint owners, and Kinnison desired
to buy the land, and it had to go through
Court to get good title.
Now Miller does not put in his time
lawing, but he sells goods, and if you
want goods. go to Miller's, and you can
be suited.

for lighting the town, and pay a
handsome interest on the capital in
vested. 1t is worth $3.50 to light
the town. There is no doubt but that
500 lights could be secured in stores,
shops, residences, &C., at five dollars
per light per year. This would be
cheaper than gas, carbon oil or can
dies, and would bring in $4,000, leav-
ing $500 over running expens es, and
the street lights free.
The citizens Of the town are ur-
gently requested to meet at the Court
House on Friday night of this week.
to consider the matter. Let every
body attend, as the time for action
has arrived.

A HORRIBLE fire occurred at Mil
waukee, Wisconsin, on Wednesday OF
last week. The Newhall House, a
six-story brick hotel, which had been
designated "a death-trap," caught fire
at o'clock a. M, and burned so rap
idly as to cut off. all possibility of
escape for the. inmates of some Of the
upper stories. Some were rescued
from the sixth story by the fremen
laying ladders from that story across
the alley to an adjoining building, and
carrying the people across these frail
supports. Many leaped from the
upper stories to cloths held by citi-
zens in the streets, but very few were
saved in this manner, as they either
struck the telegraph wires, or re-
bounded from the cloths, and were
dashed, lifeless, upon the street.
The details of the calamity are an
palling. The list OF killed, it is
thought, will reach beyond one hun
dred. The fire is thought to be the
work of an incendiary.

THE Cincinnati papers are once
more happy. Cincinnati had not had
genuine Dutch suicide, or beer and
whisky murder, for nearly a week;
but now comes the Commercial Ga
aette with over a column Of the de-
tails Of good case of personal lib
erty." A drunken Dutchman named
Hoffman murdered his son. The
murderer had been a worthless drum
kard for years, and had been terror
to his family. In the year 1878. while
crazy with liquor, he shot and killed
one of his sons. Last week he secreted
himself in the hall before day, an6
when the young man came out of the
door to go to his work his father shot
him through the breast, causing hi'
death in a short time. 2
It might be supposed by heathen
that in a Christian country, the people
would at least be ashamed Of tht
drunkenness and murders in Cincin
natl; but the people and papers o.
that city glory in their crimes ant
shame, and will not be satisfied to hav,
crime even checked in their midst.

Nash for Governor.

GLEN Roy, w., Jan. ID, 1883.
To the Editors of the Standard:
The suggestion now going the
rounds Of the papers to take up Hon.
Geo. K. Nash as the Republican STAN
dard-bearer next fall is a good one.
Standing in the forefront, as the en-
bodiment of the best thoughts and as
pirations of the people, Attorney
General Nash would lead the Repub-
lican hosts to victory. With such a
leader there could be no such word as
fail. No backward step must be tax
en- on the temperance or civil service
reform issues. Congress having passed
the civil service bill, let the General
Assembly of Ohio pass a liquor tax
bill, holding the property in which
the liquor is sold as security for the
payment of the tax. The liquor traf-
fic must be put within proper bounds,
or before many years elapse the wide
spreading and demoralizing influence
Of unrestrained ruin will sap the foun-
dations Of the body polite. The Re
publican party is practically right on
this issue, and with Mash for Cover
nor, and Foster for United States Sem
ator," as the rallying cry in the CAM
paign, the people would score a VIC
tory in October, 1883, similar to the
triumph of 1879, when Foster led the
Republicans to victory. ..

JONES, of the Waverly Watchman,
is still building turnpikes in Jackson
County. He is going to build up to
the jackson County line, then he
thinks of crossing the line and coming
on to jackson. The material Of the
road will be - wind. Jones is sorry
that Jackson will not build a pike,
and take all the trade from Waverly.
There are men from Springfield and
other points on the O. S. Railroad
constantly travelling over the region
between Jackson and Wayerly, buy
ing up everything, from carload Of
corn to pint of hickory-nuts, and
shipping over the railroad. A pike
would run alongside the railroad, and
of course you could haul produce to
Jackson in wagons cheaper than you
could ship it on the cars! We
are astounded at Jones' chatter about
pikes-hpt then pike is all the world
ly possessions Pike County has, and,
like the man who was proud OF his
sore toe, Pike must delight in show
ing what she has. But hah! A hor-
rible suspicion comes upon us! Maybe
some Of Jones' friends are going into
the livestock business, and pike is
good thing to drive hogs over after
night. Already the township Of Jack
son County which borders on Pike
County is called "Bristle" Township.
No! No! Let us not build pike in
that direction. By the way, and seri-
ously, did it never occur to Bro. Jones
that when the taxpayers of Jackson
County want turnpikes, they will build
them? The man who volunteers to
step forward and furnish brains to the
intelligent people of Jackson County,
is an ass, "on the face of the returns.

KANSAS takes the prize for the
champion idiot. He occupies the
Gubernatorial Chair of that State. In
his recent message Governor Click
takes strong ground against prohibi-
ton, and among other equally sensi-
BILE @ arguments against it, claims
that it diyerts immigration, and sets a
frightful example Of drunkenness be-
fore the young, by increasing the
drunkenness Of the citizens. That s
the favorite argument of the doggery-
keeper: "Dake my zaloon away, und
efery pody Yill get trunk, right avay"
There is not drunkard living who
will not give it as his solemn judg-
ment that Prohibition is failure.

In Memoriam Of Quiller Scott, who died
Dec. 30, 1881.


On this side of silence that seals loved ones lips,
And the brightness of his has pressed its long
eclipse,
On this side there is sorrow, there hours that
slowly wane,
Ard in the home and in the heGrt the longing throbs
ofpain.
On this side of the silence God help all to bear
Our added weight of daily TOLL growing of
On this side, when the loosened hands their heavy
burdens drop,
Needs must that others take the load, since Gods
work may not stop.
But ah beyond this Stiffness that like boted door,
Shuts the palace halls his feet have gained-our
before
Upon that mystic other side, whence none return
this way,
What waves of music break upon the shores Of end
less day.
Upon that side what sweet have thronged upon
his ken:
What songs have rapt him in their tide, undreamed
by mortal men.
Upon the other side of pain the other side of strife,
What knowledge hath he learned of Him who is the
Lord of life!
This side, the deeper loneliness; the other fuller
bliss!
Here, day, by day some precious one from thinning
| ranks to miss:
The other side the richer powers the love
by sin;
Thank God, he gave our loved grace that perfec
% win.,

A DIVISION of business, as well as di-
vision of labor, is an advantage to all
parties concerned. This has recently
been demonstrated in the case of d. d.
DUNCAN. He closed out all his dry goods,
and now deals exclusively in groceries
and provisions, and he is building up a
very large trade. When person wants
anything in the grocery line, he knows
just where to get it, and he does not have
to run around from store to store inquir-
ing for what he wants.
We will have more to say about this
establishment hereafter.

Electric Light.
AND GOD SAID LET THERE BE LIGHT,
AND THERE WAS LIGHT.

Our enterprising fellow toWnsman
E. W. Mitchell, month ago, brought
from Cincinnati the necessary ma.
chinery, wire, &C., to test the electric
light as a street light. By the cour-
tesy of the Telephone Company, he
got the use Of their posts, upon which
he plaeed the wires, and put up five
Iamps-one at his foundry, one, at
Reihart's Corner, opposite the Gibson
House, one at Sternberger Brothers
Corner, one at D. D. Dungan's store,
ana one at ~French's store, on Broad
way. He kept them in operation
some ten nights. They were a com
plete success. The question then
arose, could the lights be used in pri-
vate residences, shops, stores, offices,
hotels, &c. We undertook to get in
formation upon this point, and wrote
to the Ohio State Journal, at Column
bus, and to Mum & Co., of the Scien-
ti;fc american. Here als their an

Total running expenses per hour. 1s cents.
The above lamps would replace the
same number of gas jets, the hourly
cost of which is as follows: II
go gas jets each burning feet Of gas per .,
This shows saving, by the use Of
the Edison light of Is cents per hour
Of actual burning, the cost Of gas be-
ing more than four times as much as
the Edison light.
Add to this pecuniary economy the
healthfulness Of the light as compared
with that Of gas, it's freedom from
odor and from danger by fire, it's
steadiness, adaptability, completeness,
and beauty, and there can be no doubt
that the Edison light is unsurpassed
by any other method Of artificial
lighting whatever.
We have estimates from competent
men showing that gas works sufficient
to supply Jackson, would require a
capital of s25,QQQ. More and better
