PREs1DEsr CLEVELAND has been

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has been
looking over that batch of pension
bills passed at the rate Of two q min
ute By the Senate recently, as Mr..
ingalls, said, 'sfor the benefit Of
Uncle Cleveland" and has found
FIVE of them that he cannot approve,
and so informed Congress. There
is moral courage about this act
that mnst win admiration, whatever
may be the views held respecting
the merits of the cases involved
It would have been so easy to APP
prove the bills, and in some instan-
ces the argument in favor of such a
course could be very easily construc-
ted ont of the circumstances. But
the President prefers to honor his
true convictions, and, despite the
adverse criticism that his action
will call forth, faithfully pursues
his course as he sees it marked out
for him.

will be in accord with the merits
and success of the paper. The Bos-
ton Herald building has been sold
by Mr.. Pnlsifer, president of the
company, and no one seems to know
the significance of the transaction.

They first had the ginger analysed,
resulting in the discovery that it
was fifty five per cent. alcohol.

might be productive of beneficial
results.

Brutal Assault.

On Wednesday night two men, Harry
Jordan and ID. Wood, called at the resi-
dence of Harry Pierson, on the plank
road, near Elkton, and after talking
pleasantly in the house for a few
minutes, called Mr.. Harry Pierson
out on the porch, saying they wanted to
talk business. No sooner had he step
ped out of the door than he was tripped
by one of the men, and they set upon
him, beating him in a shameful manner.
The injured mans cries brought sever
al of the inmates who were enjoying a
game, and two young men rushed to the
rescue. The parties who made the as
sault took across the fields. Wood, how
ever, came back after little and apollo
gized to Mrs. Pierson, and said he took
no part in it, The wounded man pre-
sented sickening sight. He was cut
badly, one of his eyebrows torn off, both
lips laid open and one or two teeth
knocked out.
Dr. Mitchell attended the injured man
and fears lock jaw will result. 1t is to
be sincerely hoped the brutal assauter
will be captured. Great excitement pre-
walls in the neighborhood where the
trouble occurred.

SANDER is a lie and can travel faster
than daylight.
Where it comes from it is often impos-
sible to tell, and where it will go to no
body knows.
There is nothing too pure for it to feed
upon, and there is no such thing as
quenching its thirst
1t is an offspring from revenge and is
raised in secrecy and will live and grow
fat where truth will starve to death.
1t has fastened its deadly fangs upon the
innocent and has even made virtue her.
self tremble in her shoes.
Charity is blessed priyilegc-it lifts
poor human nature up to the level of the
angels and sheds the light of heaven
around our pathway
1t is the most beautiful of all the de-
sires of the heart and the easiest one to
execute.
There is not a thought that goes out
from the heart kindly to welcome child
Of sorrow but what is credited in the
great book of Everlasting Life under the
head of charity.
The heart is the birthplace and home
of charity the head should be its conf
dant and adviser, and the hand its ready
servant.
Charity has no market price here nor
hereafter; there is many penny in the
great box that will count out brighter at
the last day than any dollar that is there.
The great ambition of most men is to
have more money at interest than their
neighbor.
And the great ambition of most women
is to wear better clothes than other
women do |. II.

Hans, The German Detective.

On Wednesday night, March 9TH, in
Caskey Hall, will appear Frank S. David
son, as Hans, the German Detective, sup
ported by a strong company. The COM
edy-drama abounds in pleasant situations,
and the following press clippings give
some idea of what you may expect.
Frank S. Davidson in the comedy
drama, Hans, the German detective, was
immense and his support, without sim
gle exception, was far above the average.
Those who failed to see the performance
missed one of the rarest and best shows
that has visited Seymour in many years.
The drama is replete with startling stu
ations, and the humorous and pathetic
passes are inimitable. The songs of
Hans are the very best that we ever
heard.-Seymour Qnd) Daily Democrat.
The Opera House was filled with a
large audience last evening to witness a
performance of Hans, tho German De-
tective, with Frank S. Davidson in the
leading role. Mr.. Davidson's acting and
singing was well received, and he was
the recipient of much applause and many
encores. The company furnished able
support.-Butler Pa.) Daily Times.

Heavy Rain Storm.

A heavy rain fall visited this section on
Saturday last In the morning rain fell
in greater volume than known here for
many years. Rain began to fall some
time during Friday night, and by 10
O'Clock on Saturday the streets were al
most a sheet of water. Walking was diff
ficult and only those eneased in rubber
ventured out. There was no damage
done here, excepting two or more small
washouts on the sidewalks. The report
reached here at noon that there was a
washout ON the Newark and Pomeroy
Railroad. The trestle work near Thorn
sons station was badly washed, and
trains were delayed for some time. A
large force of workmen were put to work
and the road was in shape by Monday
The creek was terribly swollen, and
flooded over its banks, carrying all before
it. Wood, boards and fodder was carried
down the swollen stream. 1t was i'm
possible to cross the bridge at Curtis &
Bros mill. We have not heard of any
county bridge being washed away or loss
OF life from drowning.

Among the advertisements of the even
ing was the placing of the tail on dom
key, and much merrment was created.

honor of securing the largest slice of

by "Hen," and he looks still young and
