at Erwin saw mill In EldoradO, was
caught in the betting and when rescued
was found to have both legs broken, one
above the knee and the other below it,
his hip dislocated and a severe cash on
the back of his head. Drs. Dawson of
Eldorado and Kelsey of Richmond, Ind,
set the limbs and dressed the wounds of
the unfortunate man, who is doing as
well as could be expected considering his
injuries.

We regret to state that John Upham,
William Clayton ana Lot Runyon, leave
Eaton this week for Xenia. The loss of
such accomplished mechanics and bust
ness men to our place is almost irrepar-
able, but it seems they could find moth
ing here to justify them remaining with US
and were obliged to pull out. If the
eyed men and influential citizens of Ea-
ton do not wake up and keep down our
taxes and push for something to give our
town a boom, a fence may as well be
measured to surround it.

W. are acquainted with quite a num-
Der of persons who "get more papers
than I can read now" and do not want
a local paper-as long as they can bor-
row it from a neighbor. These fellows
always take a "family journal" publish
ed in New York or somewhere, contain
ing thrilling and blood-curdl ding oman
ces, such as make the young reader de-
spise home and yearn for the day when
they can break away from home re-
s~traints and go out into the far West and
become "bad men" and die will, their
| boots on.
Leech & Co. have quite a number of
School Books, slightly damaged-sell

A great mistake that many of our girls
are making, and that their mothers are
| allowing them to make, is that of spend
ing their time in idleness or in frivolous
amusement, doing no work to speak of,
and learning nothing about the practical
duties ard the serious cares of life. 1t
is not only in Weather families that the
girls are growing up indolent and I'M
practiced in household work. Indeed,
more attention is paid-t to the industrial
training OF girls in the Weather families
than in the families of mechanics and of
people in moderate circumstances, where
the mothers are compelled to work hard
all the while.

Attention has been called to the fact
that the great storms of this year have
been on the 18th and 18th of the month.
The cyclone of May y and 13 will long
be remembered in Ohio. At Xenia over
twenty lives were lost, and the damage
and loss of life and property was very
great all over the State. On the 18th of
June there were storms in differen. parts
of the country and a cyclone in Mime
sofa. Promptly on the 18th of July a
terrible hail and wind storm swept over
Ohio and great damage has been done
in various parts of the State, as the spe-
Gals show. The fact that thirteen is the
proverbial unlucky number and that the
great storms have occurred on that date
is remarkable.

An item has been going the rounds of
the newspapers to the effect that 1t is
unlawful to put up a barbed wire fence
as 4 line fence between adjacent land
owners, or along the public highways,
and that if any damage results from such
fence the owner is responsible for such
injury. So far as the State OF Ohio is
concerned, VIC have the opinion of a le-
gal gentleman, that there is no law what
ever ON the subject of barbed wire fences,
to decide a case OF the kind referred to,
the circumstances and equities of the
case would govern the decision in the
absence of any law ON the subject. Be
this as it may, there are hundreds of
miles Of barbed wire fence in this State
used as line fences and along the public
highway, and we have lever heard of
the question being raised as to the right
| of oyy- o1n 70 oorefr,ok e,,oh n fo-oa
wherever he pleases on his own land
We have no admiration for a wire fence,
but we don't think any one need to fear
to put up such a fence if he wants to do

The leading medical journal of France
has published a pamphlet protesting
against the ~extravagant use of artificial
ice cold mineral waters, which, it sets
forth, do the double damage of chilling the
stomach, thus laying the foundation for
gastric catarrh, while the limestone held
in deposit in the ~carbonated waters finds
its way to the kidneys and eventually
producing Bright's disease. The pamph-
let also protests against ice water as pro-
~vocative of catarrh in the stomach. 1t
further says: "Water should be drank
cool but not iced, with the juice of a
quarter of a lemon in it. Mineral water
should also be drank with q dash of lem
on. Water should always be drank slow
ly. 1t is not the stomach which is dry,
but the mouth and throat. If you toss
off a drink of water you throw it through
your mouth and throat into your stomach
without doing the former any good, while
you injure the latter by loading it with
