Fine Furniture.

Our paper is so crowded with adver-
tisements that we are compelled to leave
some out this week, and among others
that of Marshman and Co., and to COM
pensate them we will mention that they
have the largest, finest and most COM
plete stock of furniture in this part of the
State. We bought some furniture from
them recently, and went through their
large establishment, and were completely
surprised to see what wonderful things
they have. We can not specify. You
must call and see. Rooms, corner of
Pearl and Broadway, short distance be-

Fertilizers are being largely used by our
farmers. In conversation with Mr.. Sam
uel McClung, few days ago, he stated
that some of the farmers were trying
bone dust on corn ground, and that he
himself had tried it on potatoes, but had
planted the potatoes on the dust, instead
of mixing it thoroughly with earth, and
the result was not satisfactory. He will
try it next time by thorough mixing, and
this will doubtless greatly improve the

Letter from M. Churchill.

ZANESFILLE, o., April To- 1851
To the Editors of the Standard:
have recently returned from trip South
and few days since, sent you paper contain
ing short letter of mine, relating principally
to the U. S. Military Cemetery at Marietta, Ga
procured a list of the known dead, belong
ing to the 9th Reg't, Ohio Vol. Inf'try, Tin
which there were over 200 Jackson County
men, inferred in the cemeteries at Marietta,
Ca, Chattanooga, Tenn, and Corinth, Miss,
and send it to you for reference, or publication,
if you deem the matter of sufficient interest to
your readers.
In the three cemeteries there are inferred:
In Marietta, 10,24S; of these about 1000 are
identified, balance unknown.
In Chattanooga, II 956, known and unidenti-
fled.
In Corinth, 5,7l6,-l,7SO known and 1896 un-
known.
Total 28,920 in the three cemeteries.
The fighting at Corinth was early in the war,
which suppose accounts partially for the large
number of ''unknown"-the cracker-box head
pieces had fallen down or rotted before the
cemetery was established. Yours truly,
NJ. CHURCHILL.

The question was raised recently
whether Henry Ward Beecher was
younger or older than his sister, Mrs.
Stowe. It was found that Mrs. Stowe
was born in 1912 and Mr.. Beechcr in
1913; he is a little more than one year
the younger. Catherine Beecher was
born nearly twelve years before her
better known sister. While Catherine
lost her lover, Prof. Fisher of Yale Col

very young, Mrs. Stowe married, it APP

Stowe was ten years older than his

age OF forty; and her second important
novel, ''Dred," at the age of forty four:
The Beecher family seem to owe their
literary vitality to their transportation

IN 4 '.HoT BOX"
Zhe Brakeman Tells HI. story.

=
''Was ever in ON accident ?" echoed
the brakeman, as he took off his gloves,
readjusted his necktie, and brushed off
imaginary dust after putting some coal
in the heater: !'Neyer had an accid dent
in my life, sir, but I came mighty close
to it several times: Closest call I ever
had was down near Laporte: We stop:
ped to fix up a hot box, and
as I knew the limited was close
behind us I skipped back
with my lantern in q hurry. Hadn't
gone more'n ten or; twelve rods when I
heard her a-comin', about mile off,
perhaps more. There was a curve
right there, and couldn't see her.
Hearin' of her made me a bit anxious,
and started to run faster-it was q
snowy, blowy night-when I slipped
down, broke my lantern, and the wind
blew it out: Here was q fix-me q
hundred feet from the rear of my train,
expected to stop No. 20, and her a. COM
in down the grade and round the curve
and my lantern out! Now I tell you I did
some pretty quick thinking then. I hadn't
time to get back to the train, get all
other lantern, and get far enough to
stop her. Couldn't strike match in
that wind, certain, and for a second or
two I didn't know what to do. Then it
came to me like flash, and didn't 1
hustle! Run back to my tram, pullad
the rope for our engineer to go ahead,
yelled with all my might to the con-
ductor, who was ahead where the hot
box was, and grabbed the red bulls
eye from the rear platform, climbed UP
on the brake and then on to the coach,
and when got there held my bulls;eye
up high and waved her across the
track. It was as I thought.
could see twenty's headlight from
up there-there would she see me
Apparently not, for she came along
like mad as I felt myself going crazy.
But as soon as she struck the tangent
of the curve the engineer looked my
way, saw the red light, and put her
down hard. You see if I had stayed on
the track he couldn't have seen tho
light at all; but even as it was, nothing
saved us but the fact that our train
started up in time to get fairly going
before twenty saw my bulls-eye. Not
q passenger knew what close call we'd
had. Neither did the superintendent,
you bet. Elkhart Elkhart! Twenty
minutes for dinner!''-Train Talk,
