"A painter named Skipper, living at
the corner of Twenty.irst and Poplar
streets, has been suffering with dropsy for
some time, and of late his ailment became
so troublesome that surgical skill had to be
invoked to relieve him. Drs. Parker were
called upon, and they performed an opera
ton upon him Monday with their usual
success in such cases. The patient was re-
lieved of over three gallons of water and
was doing we'll at last accounts.

County court was convened yesterday
afternoon by Judge Robinson, for the pur-
pose of trying Monroe Purcell for insanity.
A jury was summoned, and after due inves-
tigation verdict of guilty was rendered.
Purcell will be taken to the asylum this
afternoon. In reply to an inquiry DR..
Wardner telegraphed that Purcell had not
escaped from the asylum as reported, but
was discharged. Hence the necessity of
pau nr1ar from tho court
The man Barton, referred to in dis
patch to Chief Myers Monday, is the same
who was reported drowned in little shanty
boat sunk at the box factory some time ago,
but who subsequently turned up" alive and
well. 1t seems that he is as persistent to
remain among the living as the press and
telegraph have been to send him into the
blue beyond by way of the rolling Ohio.
He will conquer if he but holds out a little
while longer.
An object of much attraction down
town last evening was white deer that
had been shot at Sandusky by Mr.. Henry
Dunning and brought here by him for sale
The animal was the same about which there
has been so much talk among the people in
different parts of the county during the las,
year or more. He is beautiful specimen
white as snow, with the exception of the
ears and the ankles, which are dark, and q
few dark spots on the neck He was seer
at different times in the vicinity of San
dusky, and was chased several times by or.
ganized parties of experienced hunters, but

since st. Louis man offered a reward oil
! $3.50 for him alive; but be was not to bt
caught in any of the many traps set fol
him. The animal was taken around Il
Mr.. Jno. Gates saloon last night, where a
large crowd soon collected, and was sold t.
Mr.. Louis j. Koehler for $50. He weighed
one hundred and thirty-two pounds gross
Some Of the largest creditors of Mr.

Mrs. w. will certainly not live mucl
