Mcbride Severely ReDuksd ns Judge
Montgomery.

Ia the Circuit Ccort, az 10 o'clock Sstnr
day morning. Sigh, Madden and Jennings,
convicted Of burglary and larceny. and Milo
johnson convicted Of forgery were brought
up for sentence. Mr.. Mcbride on behalf Of
the FIRST three asked leave 10 move for new
trial, saying that he could produce ahdayits
to show that the conviction had been i'm
reported that one Of the jurors boarded dur
ing the trial with the Sheriff at the JAIL and
that the Sheriff had offered 10 make bets that
the prisoners would be convicted. On behalf
Of jennings he said that another witness had
been discovered who would testify that Jen-
nings could not possibly have been at Grand
vile at the time the crime was committed.
Judge Montgomery severely rebuked Nc
Bride for his impudencs. He said that no
reputable attorney would make such asser
tions without tho strongest proof, and he
did not believe that Sheriff Kinney
had been guilty of any such inn
propriety. He then refused To
delay proceedings, except III the case OF Jen-
nings, who was allowed three days i'll which
to move for a new trial. Then, speaking to
Sigh, he said that the primary reason OF
infiicting punishment was to effect refor-
nation, and the secondary consideration,
when reformation was out of the question.
is to save society from the criminal. Sligh
had good trade and was able to earn a
good living working at it il he chose, but he
preferred the life of q criminal. Reforma-
ton, the Judge thought. in Sligh's case, be-
yond hope, and to save society from him the
Judge would sentence him to confinement
with hard labor at Jackson for ten years. No
distinction could be made in dealing with
Madden. The crime was the same, and he also
had tried the reforming influence of prison
| life but he failed TO benefit by his expert
| ence. He then sentenced Madden to ten
years with hard labor at Jackson. Neither
| of the convicts seemed at all affected by the
| sentence, but their female friends wept bit
terly. Outside the court room Sligh broke
| down completely and shed tears. Madden is
| 20 years of age, and is hard case generally,
having served several sentences in vari-
Gus penal institutions. Sigh is the
elder of the trio, being 30 years OF
! age. He has also served in a reform school.
Milo Johnson, convicted of forging the
signature of Edwin Pettis to note of S25
and uttering the note at the Lowell National
| bank, was then brought up for sentence. DE
strongly protested that he was innocent and
said that the jury were prejudiced against
him. He said he was engaged to marry the
daughter of prominent citizen of Lowell
He handed Judge Montgomery letter IL
which he attempted to prove his innocence
On comparing the forged note and the pris-
oner's writing in the letter, the Judge said
there was a great similarity in the handwrit
ing of the two. He believed the prisoner
was guilty and as this was his second offense
he would sentence him to five years at Jack
son. johnson was sentenced from Hastings
| for a similar offense several years ago.

THE fact is rapidly becoming under
stood by the people at. large. that the
spring elections in Ohio this year april
81 will be of great interest that they
are, indeed, of National moment.
The Democratic plan to carry Ohio is
to use the Legislature to put the police
of the several cities of the State in the
hands of their respective gangs, that
they may be employed to aid the frauds
required to elect members to the next
Legislature. The members are wanted
to put boodle-bagger in the Senate.
And this is pursuant to grand scheme
to capture the Senate for the reactiona>
ry and revolutionary purposes of the
Democratic party. The first skirmish
occurs in this State.
The Democrats, in addition to using
their Legislature TO provide police pros
lection for frauds, are scheming TO get
up temperance agitations. They want
the cooperation of the liquor lunatics
and the temperance fanatics. The mon
ey to be used to grease the fanatics, is to
be extracted from the lunatics.-CiD.

A Successful Company.

We have received the statement of
the OHIO Farmers Insurance Company
of LIE Roy, Ohio, for 1884, of which the
following is brief summary:
Number of risks written during
the year 32.OOO
Amount of risks S43 ,99S,5S7 90
Cash income for the year 416,O37 7S
Expenditures for he year 3S6,S32 II
Cash assets December 81, 1884
(admitted) ..... 1,220,S42 10
Total liabilities. including re-
insurance --......... 794.l1O II
Surplus over all liabilities 426.57l so
The success of the Ohio Farmers In
surance Company is something remark
able in the annals of insurance. 1t writes
only on farm property, and in the 81
years of its existence has written risks
amounting to S7OO,O0O,00O, and paid
S3o00,0OG for losses. 1t now carries
S1S3, ,O0O, 900 of risks and is, we believe,
the largest and most successful farm
company ever organized in this country.
This company combines the advantages
of the mutual and stock plans, iuasmuch
as premiums are collected entirely in
cash in advance, while all its accumula
tions belong to the policyholders. At
the sama time, its policyholders incur no
liability, as they are not liable to assess
ment. A company which receives over
$50, 900 in year for interest on its in
vestments is certainly in position to
deal literally with its policyh0lders and
maintain its solvency. The past history
of this company and its presenI standing
justify the belief that the Ohio Farmers
Insurance Company is destined to take
prominent rank in all localities where it
may decide to operate. The On. "
Spectator.

1. S. Powers, of St. Clairsville.

Gen. Grants Condition.

The following editorial article ap-
peared in THE Medical Record" of New
York, on Saturday:
There have been so many sensational
stories concerning the precise character
of the disease of Gen. Grants tongue
and throat, that it will be gratifying to
his many friends to learn that all the
more serious and alarming symptoms
connected with them have virtually dis
appeared. 1t was at one time feared, in
professional circles at least, that the ul-
cerations of the tongue and fauces were
dependent upon malignant disease, a not
uncommon occurrence at his time of
life, as the result of local irritation from
troublesome tooth. The focus of the
trouble on the side of the organ, the
usual site Of cancer, and the induratioD
of the base of the sore, were ominonsly
confrmatory of the suspicion. We are
gratifed to learn from his attending ply.
sician that all these signs OF epithelioma
have passed away, that the liberated
surfaces have healed, and the adjoining
tissues have regained their natural SUD.
pleness. There is now remaining only a
small excavation in the neighboring ton.
sill. such as sometimes results from fol-
lieuIar Inflammation of the part.
1t would appear, from its clinical his
tory, to have been a case of chronic
superficial Inflammation of the tongue
the long continuance of which results
in progressive malignant destruction of
OF the invaded parts.
There is strong probability that ex,
cessive smoking was one of the prime
factors as to causation, inasmuch as
such has been proven to be the case in
the large majority of persons SO affected
The distinguished General would not
certainly be considered an exception to
this rule, affordiug as he does the "Doto-
rious example" for the anti-tobacconists
Still, it is fair to state that the disease
sometimes occurs in those who do not
smoke, and who are not inclined to any
intemperance.
Whatever may have been the cause
of the disease. it is matter for great
congratulation that all fears of grave
complications are for the present at
an end, and that our beloved ex-Presi~
dent is spared an affiiction the bare
lot Ne oh IL ho
tressing in the extreme.
