one steel portraits, and a map showing
the political history OF the country in
graphic and ingenious; form. The first
volume covers the decades from 1861 to
1881 1t is written in clear, vigorous
style, has much Of the dignity Of history,
and contains many sketches of promi-
nent men of the period which it covers.
The formal "reminiscences are, perhaps,
the most interesting feature ofthe work.
The first seven chapters of the book dis
cuss the causes of the civil war. A long
chapter reviewing the history of the
tariff follows. In this Mr.. Blaine men
tons the fac, that President Washing
ton signed the first protection tariff bill
In all this discussion Mr.. Blaine has
made an evident effort to be impartial
and has had fair success. The remain.
ing chapters bring down the history to
1881. Personal sketches are given OF
nearly every member of the famous
Thirty-seventh congress. Conk!imgs
name appears frequently in the latter
part of the book, and he is very often
referred to in the most complementary
terms, while many extracts from his
speeches are given. No general estim-
ate of character, however, is made. OF
Grant, Mr.. Blaine says that all his hon.
ors were earned that there was no
political influence behind him, and that
he WAS man who succeeded because he
understood thoroughly how to control
himself. The space devoted to Logan is
very brief, but the comments on him
and his work are very complimentary.

JOHN w. PETTICORD, of Elm Grove,
WAS found in The allWay of house Of
i'll fame in Whssling one day about two
weeks ago, with his skull fractured, +,
from the effects of which he died. The
coroner's jury being of the opinion that
murder may have been committed, Or
dered the arrest of Mary Vandyne. an
inmate of the house, on the charge of
being an accessory to the crime. The
jury, at the conclusion of the inquest,
found that the deceased came to his
death from wounds inflicted in manner
to them unknown" and it will ever re
main a mystery whether he was muir
dered, or fell down the stairway and
came to his death accidentally. The In
telligencer of last Friday has the follow
ing history of the woman, who was
formerly from this county:
Nobody now believes that Mary Van
dyne killed Petticord. The girl was
born in Belmont county, Ohio, on Pipe
creek. She is now in her 22d year. Her
parents live on a rented farm still, on
Pipe creek. They have had sixteen
children born to them, nine boys and
seven girls. One of the boys died while
child. Several of the oldest children
are married and doing well. Mary, who
figures in this case, was betrayed by a
man named Ramsey when she was bnt
fifteen or sixteen years of age. under a
promise of marriage, contract he never
performed, but in consideration of its
non fultillment he paid her $500. After
her ruin by Ramsey, she was driven
from the parental roof by her father, and
has been IA wanderer in the world among
strangers ever since. She has worked
bard in kitchens and houses, where she
has been permitted to live with her little
boy all the time, until within the last
year, since her first sin, leading q strictly
virtuous life. About year ago. she
says, she became disheartened because
of the hard life she was compelled TO
live, and determined to seek change
by entering upon life of shame. About
year ago she married a worthless man
by the name OF John Clark, but she did
not live hut short time with him, owing
to his Incorporate habits. See doesn't
know what has become of him. She is
rather prepossessing in her manners and
looks, but can neither rean or write"
