Died From Hunger And Exposure,
Canton, Jan. 4-Last week there died
in this county, some twelve miles north,
west of this place, an old man by the
name of Fred Bauman, from sheer hun
ger and Afosure. About two years ago
he decided his farm to a son-in law, who
in payment of tue same, was TO give a
younger sou of Mr.. Bauman a stipulated
sum, pay the taxes, aud keep the old
man during his life In all OF these the
recreant son-ln-law has failed. Last fall
the deceased began suit to have the deed
set aside, and the case is now pending in
the courts. The utter neglect and dis
position displayed by the %son.in.law to
comply with his part of the agreement
dlsheartened the deceased. He was re-
fused decent clothing, and, neighbors
say, enough to eat. During the last few
days prior to his death he wandered
around, slept in the barn and sheds,
hungry and uneared for, and thus died
for want of decent care. His neighbors
thought something wrong, and called
the coroner to investigate. The verdict
returned is that Fred Bauman came tc
his death from cold and hunger, and lay
the blame there it belongs. Whethe,
the matter will be further investigated
is not known.

ton detectives passing through that city
enroute for Washington to investigate q
conspiracy against the Presidents life,
but it was trae nevertheless. They were
on duty at the white house New Years
dry, some of them in the pariors, others
in the vessibule, and still moro among
the crowds outside On the lookout for
cranks. 1t was an unusual thing. Form
erly the city detectives have been en-
ployed en- those occasions, but the pres
ence OF the Pinkerton force shows that
the president either has no confidence
10 the Washington detectives, or thought
they were not sufficient, or both. The
president receives q good many threat.

The Secretary OF the Treasury Askeo
to Rescind the Order Allowing
their Importation.

COLUMBUS, o., Sept. 49, Judge T.
Jones, of the state live stock commission, ap-
peared before the state board of agriculture
Che other day and sugges ted the propriety of
requesting the government to take action pre-
venting the importation of cattle from Cana
da into the United States, especially during
the pleuro-pneumonia scare originating at
Qnebec. After considering the request the
Board sent the following official commGnica-
ton to the Secretary of the Treasury at Wash
ington:
'In view of the recent outbreak of pleuro-
pneumonia at the Quebec quarantine and the
general apprehension that the same has occas-
toned among the farmers of this country, the
Board Of Agriculture suggests that the public
Interests should be subserved by the immedi-
ate resembling of the order made by the head
OF your department some two or three years
since, permitting the importation of cattle
from the British dominions into the United
states without quarantine, and when they are
claimed for breeding purposes without the
payment OF duty, while American cattle have
been admitted into Canada only subject to a
restriction of 90-dar quarantine. The order
has always appeared to the stock breeders of
because, with the exception OF the importation
from the Atlantic coast in single instance OF
pleuro-pneumonia which, though appearing in
four of the western states, was promptly
stamped out, these states have certainly been
as free from disease as any part of British
North America, and we see no good reason
whatever for admitting cattle or sheep duty
free, where other products are required to
bear share Of the burdens of the public reve-
nue.. But whatever view your department may
take of this branch Of the subject it is mani
fest to the Board that until the apprehension
occasloned BY the recent outbreak at Quebec
is allayed and the public is assured that the
contagion is effectually stamped out, no i'm
portations of cattle should be allowed from
that country, and we earnestly urge the import
ance of prompt action on the subject. We
also suggest the propriety of requiring that
all sheep imported be subjected to a quaran-
tine, as it is well known that by this importa-
ton foot and mouth diseases have several
times been brought from Great Britain to Can
