RESOLUTIONS of Regret,

At meeting held by the w. c. T.
u, the following resolutions were
adopted:
WHEREAS, The members of the w.
CT. u. have learned that Mrs. Hills,
wife of Rev. A. M. Hills, is about to
remove with her husband and family
to Allegheny City, to make that city
her future residence, whereby her re-
lations with our Association will be
severed, and desirous to testify our re-
spect for her as woman, our appre-
citation of her labors in the cause, and
our regret at her departure, we do
unanimously adopt the following res
olutions:
RESOLVED, That in the severance of the
relations of our society with Mrs. Hills,
we lose faithful ,earnestand Christian
worker in the great cause for which
we are all striving; a member whose
efforts have always been of an eleva-
ting and ennObling tendency, whose
influence and assistance has been ex-
erted wisely and beneficially, and who
has done her full share in forwarding
the cause of temperance and morality.
RESOLVED, That while we regretfully
part with our sister, we are cheered
and comforted with the thought that
her influence and efforts will not cease,
but remaining behind as reminder
and incentive to us to push on the
work, we also can reflect that in her
new home she will continue to be a
laborer in the temperance field, there
by doubling the weight of her infiu-
ence and work.
RESOLVED, That she carries with her
our earnest friendship and esteem f;
that we commend her to the temper.
ance people of her new home as one
whose efforts and assistance will en-
courage them to renewed vigor. Still
the cause of temperance will lose moth
ing by the change.

The Great Riot i'm Cincinnati
The French Commune


The grand court house burned to the
ground and nearly all the records de-
stroyed-the scene of destruction beg
gars description. Men were running
around with the one idea in their
heads, and that was that Justice had
been set aside and a murderer had been
set at liberty, to again commit muir
der. Late in the evening the madden
ed mob made rush for the court house,
and all that shot and shell could do
did not seem to impede their progress.
The dead lay in great heaps around
them, but instead of checking their
onslaught only urged them Oh to COM
init greater acts of violence. One place
where the dead lay ia pile Is feet
high. man was standing nearly out
of breath, waving a paper over his
head. 1t was dispatch from the Gov
ernor, telling the police to give up try
ing to save the charter of the city, but
by all means save small package that
was in the Treasurer's office, as 1t was
half pound of VanNess' best Tea,
and he was afraid he could not get any
more like it.
p. S.-A few more of the same kind
left. Opposition is the life of business
and now that people have concluded
that what we have said about Van
Ness Tea was true, it keeps him busy
handing it out; now he sells more Tes
than ever. Granulated Sugar at 8 cts
| and other kinds to match.

Bold burglars About.

On Monday night burglars entered
the residence of 8. r. freeman, on
West Oak street. gaining admission by
prying up window. They went
through the clothing of Mr.. Freeman,
frOa which they obtained about $l2
in money and cheap nickel case
watch, and took their departure, leav-
ing Mr.. F's wardrobe nicely rolled up,
with his bunch of keys, in baby car
riage on the porch.
On the same night the residence OF
Geo. w. Freeman, on South Meridian
street, but few rods from the above,
was entered in the same manner. The
thieves got possession of Mr.. Free
mans pants, from which they obtain
ed $40 so in money, a pocket knife and
a plug of tobacco, and depositing the
garment snugly rolled up on the porch
took their departure. leaving no trace
by which to discover the perpetrators
of the daring crime.

when a customer approaches the door,
by simply pulling a knob, the door is
opened and shut ct pleasure. There
are four or five of these knobs placed
at convenient points in the room, from
either of which the door can be easily
operated, thus saving many steps and
much wear and tear of shoe leather.

On Friday morning, March 2Sth,
community received. a fearful shock as
the news of the sudden death of Fan
ME, only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. N.
s. Olin, of Streetsboro' was Whispered
from friend to friend. SHE had mot
been usually well for a brief period,
but no one imagined that the time of
her. departure had arrived. On We'd
nesday morning she prepared breakfast
for the family, and on Friday morning
was with the angels in heaven.
She was born August "a, 1866, and
was bright, promising young woman,
,who had won the esteem of all by her
sprightly, cheerful manner, and her
sweet and gentle disposition. OF the
home she was the light aad life, and
in society she was a favorite, filling all
hearts with.the bright sunshine of her
presence. ;asiG 5t- '.sH
In Bdchtel College she was faith
full, promising student. Of her, the
girls OF the Eta Chapter of the Delta
Gamma fraternity thus wrote to her
parents: She was so cheerful, SO
generous and warm hearted, so thought
full of all around her. She tried so
hard to do her work well while among
us, that she became very dear not only
to us, her sisters but to all her teach
ers and friends in the College"
Mr.. and Mrs. Olin have the sympa-
thy of very large circle of relatives
and friends. This has been expressed
in letters from many who could not
attend the funeral, and was emphati-
cally manifested on Tuesday afternoon.
April ,lst, when funeral services, con-
Quoted by Rev. Andrew Wilson, as
sisted by Rev. E. Morris, were held at
the family residence. The attendance
was very large, and the sympathy deep
and tender. The address of Mr.. Will
son was that of friend whose ex-
perience of sorrow helped him bear
the sorrows of others.
Some thirty students of Buchtel Col
lege, including fifteen members of the
Delta Gamma fraternity, were present.
The floral offerings from the fraterni-
ty, class mates, friends and relatives
were truly beautiful Amid tears and
flowers the beautiful form was laid to
rest in sight of the parents home. Ev-
cry thing that loving hearts could de-
wise was done to comfort the sorrow
ing. ~.

Mr.. EDITOR II see by a late paper
that bill has been introduced in the
Legislature to divide the township of
Franklin into two voting precincts.
Now, should not this town be so di-
vided? We polled about 100 votes
last Fall. The first six hours we polled
nearly 700, almost two votes per min
ute. 1t is conceded OH all sides that in
hotly contested election, and if M uch
challenging should be INDUCED in, it
would be impossibleafor all to vote: In
regard to expense, the Judges and
Clerks now receive double pay, and no
one can complain of it.
Now. Mr.. Editor, can not some one
be found to take the lead III the matter,
or is it entirely unnecessary? l know
that a good many of both political par
ties think it would be beneficial. ~

It Was no Place For Him.

At one of our theaters the other even
ing, a pair evidently from the country,
created much amusement. The young
woman apparently enjoyed herself very
much until the ballet began, when she
became very uneasy, and looked every
where but on the stage, upon which her
companions eye was riveted. Present
" she nudged him with her elbow and
said in q tone half pleading, half indig-
nant: John, how can you look at such
things?" John grew confused at the
reproach and Immediately began to
read his play bill, not however, without
casting a furtive glance at the stage now
and then. The composure of the twain
was not restored until the act drop fell
upon the scene. Then, the young
woman said fervently, IT hope there is
no more Of that shamelessness." By
and by came another ballet when the
fair one, unable to stand it longer, rose,
and said firmly to her companion,
"Come John, we'll go at once. This is
no place for you'll" with which she
marched resolutely up the aisle, fol
lowed by her escort, who sheepishly
followed hhr, evidently impressed by
the truth Of her decision.-Boston Ga
