MANY Of the citizens Of Jackson

MANY Of the citizens of Jackson
will remember: that some ten years
ago an effort was made to have the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad extend
ed through this county, and that Col.
VIM. H. Trimble, Of Hillsborough,
took very active part in working for
the road. He was at this place several
times, and spoke in public. -'T:
Col. Trimble died last week, of
neuralgia of the heart. He was about
p years of age. He was son of Gov.
Allen Trimble, and brother of Rev,
J. M. Trimble, and Hon. Cary A.
Trimble, SO many years member of
Congress from this district. Col.
Trimble leaves wife and one daugh-
ter, an invalid. Mrs. Trimble and
daughter are in Florida. -a95

Beware of Alcoholic Bitters.

Thousands have been ruined for
life by drinking popular nostrums.
the principal ingredient of which was
alcohol. Such "bitters" are deceptive
in their effects; they cause intoxication
and temporary relief, while they fos-
ter the drunkard's appetite. DIR. Ken
nedy's "Favorite Remedy" does not
heat and infame the blood; it cools
and purifes it. Better than this,
even it has cured many a raving appe-
tite for drink. 1t will do you good,
not evil, all the days of your life.

WE received the following by mail

WE received the following by mai
on Saturday morning:
65th General Assembly, Adjourned
Sessions. B. No. 264-Mr. Harts-
Horn-A Bill to amend section
1854, and supplement chapter 1
title s, section 859 of the Revised
Statutes Of Ohio,
SECTION l.. Be it enacted by the
General assembly of the State of Ohio.
That section twelve hundred and
sixty-four of the revised statutes OF
the state of Ohio be amended as rep
resented below, and that section eight
hundred and fifty-nine of the revised
statutes of the state of Ohio be sup
plemented by sectional numbers as
hereinafter provided.
Section 1864. The county commits
sioners shall furnish to the clerk all
blank books, blanks, stationery, and
all things necessary to the prompt
discharge of his duty, all of which
articles the clerk may procure, and
shall be allowed for upon his certif-
catee /; and the clerk of courts shall
not make any charge whetever for
certificates made for pensioners of the
United States government, or for any
oath administered on pension vouchers,
applications or affidavits. a
Section 859a. The county commits
sioners are hereby required and di-
rected to furnish all the county Of
ficers in their respective counties with
suitable blank books, blanks and sta
tionery necessary for their use in the
discharge Of their official duties; and
it is hereby made the duty Of the
commissioners to procure the same
from the lowest responsible bidder,
after advertising for sealed proposals
to furnish the same for at least four
weeks in some newspaper of general
circulation, provided they may reject
any or all bids.
SEC g. That section 1864 of the
revised statutes of Ohio be and the
same is hereby repealed.
"SEo. 3. This act shall take effect
and be in force from and after its
passage"
The object of the above bill is no
doubt good one, but we doubt
whether it will work out well in prac-
tice. We do not think the Leglsla-
ture has the power to compel tht
clerk, or any other officer, to work
without pay. 1t is not right. Better
enact that the clerk shall be paid
reasonable fee out of the county
treasury for services in pension cases.
The provision for furnishing blanks
looks well, at first view; but the pro-
vision that the commissioners may
reject any or all bids, destroys the
whole thing. What chance would
we have with bids for blanks with the
Democratic commissioners of Pike or
Vinton counties? AS we understand
the bill, bids may be sent in from any
place, even from outside of the State.
A better way would be to require
all persons who furnish blanks to
make oath that his prices are the reg
uIar prices charged individuals for
The same class Of work.

LHduuOOQ, Unere Was no marks OI
blows on his body, but the man was
evidently half frozen and out Of heart.
He propped himself up as he sat, and
did not look on Simon, as though too
much exhausted to lift up his eyes.
Simon went up quite close to him,
and suddenly the man seemed to wake
up, turned his head little, opened his
eyes, and looked upon Simon. And
that look of his went to Simon's heart.
He threw down his felt boots, took off
his girdle, laid it on the boots, took off
his girdle, laid it on the boots, and
stripped off his overcoat.
I'VE must have some talk together" "
he said. Come, put on thing or
two"
Simon put his hands under the
mans elbows, and began to raise him
up. The man raised himself up, and
Simon saw his body was shapely and
clean, that his arms and legs were
not broken, and that he had a sweet
face Simon threw his overcoat over
his shoulders, but he could not catch
the sleeves. Simon guided his arms
for him, Strengthened the overcoat.
wrapped it round him, and frightened
it with the girdle.
Simon took off his old fur cap, with
the intention of putting it on the
man, but his head began to feel so
cold that he thought to himself, II
am quite bald-headed, but he has long,
curly locks; I had better lend him my
boots" and he put it on again.
He made him sit down, and put on
him his felt boots.
: When the bootmaker had clothed
him, he said,-
swell, my lad, you must take exer-
else and warm yourself. Can you go?"
The man stands still and looks
pleasantly on Simon, but does not
utter one single word.
Cant you speak, then? It won't
do to spend the winter here. We
must go to my home Here, take my
cudgel. Stamp your feet and shake
yourself"
The man set off; he walked without
difficulty, and did not lag behind.
As they went along Simon asked, =
Where do you come from?"
mot from these parts
THAT | see; I know all who live IN
these parts, How came you here at
the chapel?"
II mustn't say"
Perhaps some one has offended
you?'
mo one has offended me; God has
punished me-" Il
"Of course everything is done by
God; but still one has to abide some
where. Whittier do you want to go?"
''It's all one to me" )"
Simon wonders; the man didn't
look mischief-maker; his words were
soft, but he objected to speak of him
self. And Simon thought to himself.
"Who knows what may have hap
pened?" and he said to his compan-
ion," --E.
'Never mind, come to my home; at
least you'll warm yourself"
Simon reaches his yard, and the
stranger does not lag behind, but
walks by his side. A biting wind
began to rise and find his way under
Slmon's coat, and he began to get
quite sober and to feel quite frozen.
He shifted as he went, wrapped hi :
self round in his woman's doubl+t
Here's a pretty sheepskin. Matrona
won't praise me for this! l went off
to get one, and [ came home even
without my overcoat, yes, and along
with half-clothed man." And The
thought Of Matrona made him fee
uneasy. But when he looked on the
stranger, he remembered the look th'
man gave him at the chapel, and hi
heart throbbed with delight.

misfortune, or inheritance this has
been done. Ayers Sarsaparilla goes

Mr.. Alfred Speer.-Dear Sir: The
visit which | made last year to your
Vineyards, wine-presses and vaults at
Passaic, N. j., satisfies me thoroughly
chat the wines produced by you are
pure and unadulterated, and the very
rest that can be offered to the public
for medicinal uses.
Acting upon my favorable impress
ion at the time, l have since recon-
nended the Port Wine; more particu-
arly in my practice, and am satisfied
ith marked benefit to my patients.
There can be no better proof to the
ioubting mind las to the Wine being
made Of the finest Oporto Grape, than
visit to your acres of land covered
With the vine bearing the luxuriant
ruit. Wishing you success in your
,raiseworthy enterprise,
l remain respectfully yours,

officiated made some remark that ex-
cited another who stood on the bank.
A banter was soon made for debate.
They met at the Court House. After
some time spent in argument they
quit, [ think as they commenced, each
one was of the same opinion still.
I think the West is not far behind
in improvements. They have cream
cry in Spring Valley that makes 1000
Tbs. of butter per day. The engine
and all the machinery was made in
that place. We are going to have
one in Concordia soon. The one at
Spring Valley paid last year $4,000
for cream, and that is only one of
four or five in Fillmore county.
By the way l have heard Of your
deer. They were seen about five years
ago in Iowa-at least they answer the
description, three in number; but they
had turned their course-they were
going north.
We are all in tolerable health,
thanks to kind Providence.
