ed after being Inferred.


On Sunday afternoon last, while Jones LIP
nv was gathering chestnuts in Nelson l.
Houck,s woods, about three miles east OF this
place, at the head of Deep Run, he discover,
ed what he supposed to be the body OF dead
white man; he Immediately summoned some
of the neighbors, and upon closer investIga-
ton found his suggestions to be true. jus
tice J. VIM Earhart, of this place, was at
once notified, who had the following jurors
summoned by constable 5. Z. ID. Bish: JACOB
Zaeharias, foreman; Aaron Bnrgoon, Leancer
Lookingbill, Edward Stonesifer, George HUT,
John 4. Stansbury, Harvey d. Tagg, Eph-
rain Yingling, John Bemiller, Ed. Schaeffer,
William A. Bankert, and DIR. j. j. Stewart
After an examination of the body by Drs ).
J. Stewart and J. Hanson I. Earhart, of this
place, the Jury rendered the following, based on
the oninion of the doctors: "The unknown
was a vagrant subject to attacks OF epilepsy,
and during such an attack fell, andin so doing
struck his head against some object produe-
ing conclusion, with fracture at the base of
the skull, the direct cause of his death. The
deceased was between so and 60 years OF age
dressed in ordinary clothing, red sandy HAIR,
he had box of matches, several keys and an
old punched coin in his pockets. There were
no letters or papers found upon his person
to reveal his identity. He had been seen ON
w duu ~ ANhA
in the vicinity of Pleasant Valley, this place
and at Bachman's Mill, Tor at least man
answering exactly to his Descriptions after
that time it appears he was not seen alive.
The probability is that he was dead week or
more, but owing to the cool weather the body
was slightly decomposed. The body was
taken charge of by undertaken Martin Ying-
ling, and inferred in the new cemetry at Silver
Run, on Monday morning. Since writing the
above, on Wednesday afternoon young man
with several friends from Baltimore came to
this place and inquired of j. VIM. Earhart
ESQ, where the deceased had been buried.
He, with number of person of this place ac-
companied them to the cemetery and disin-
TERED the body; the young man Immediately
identified the body as being that of his father,
and from him it was learned that the deceased
was from Baltimore, and that his name was
Sylvester H. Wolfe, and that he was subject
to attacks of epilepsy which had partially i'm
paired his mental faculties, and that he had
left Baltimore on the 9th of October, to visit
some relatives at Hampstead, this county.
He was raised near Littlestown, Pa, and has
a number of relatives in that vicinity. Mr.
Henry Brown, of this place, is also an uncle
of his The body was re-interred by order OF
the son, as he was not prepared to remove it,
and will probably remain where it is until

find that ploWs of American manufacture are
among the most prominent OF the imports IN ms

in the United States, the Syracuse pillow, and the
South Bend pillow seem to be most in demand and TO
have the largest sale. have before me on my desk
an offer from Ontario dealer in the Oliver plows
to sell same in T. o. b. at this city i'll Canada for $40
each in quantities. The retail price here is ST. and
numerous transactions take place at that figure
The same plows, understand, are sold In guam

cost the American farmer at retail Sl6.
The Syracuse pillow Tetails at S1 or So here and.
am informed sells for from sl4 to SIC in the United
states at RETAIL and the South Bend at Sll here ana
Sl4 at home
1t is pleasing to observe how cheaply our manu-
facturers be able To turn out these goods from
the fact that the Canadian duty this class of goods
is IS per cent ad valorem. Even admitting that the
manufacturer makes no profit on his sules IN
Canada, these figures are oil interest;

Remarks of Hon. ". H. Hatch, Of M,ssOni,
in the House of.Representatires, October
s, 1888.
Hillsboro recorder., 1888-01-12

All this talk we have been hearing
for some time, about restored Union
is simply bosh, the merest OF non"
sense, and silliest gush.
Let the South do what it may, Jet
her acts be as sincere and honest az it
Is possible for it to be, yet q large por'
tion OF the Republicans at the North
hate us fully as bad as they did IN
1854. As evidence of this fact, ths
Republican caucus of the New York
Legislature has adopted q veruient
resolution with oply one dissenting
vote against the confirmation OF hr.
Lamar as Associate Justice Of the Su'
preme Court. The "Porker" states
man of Ohio, one of the Senators has
already given forth "that he would do
oil he could to prevent Mr.. I'amars
confirmation" and why3 Simply be-
cause he is o Southern man, and tor
no other reason.
.. With this accursed feelings still
ranking in the bosom Of q portion OF
the Northern Republicans, how can
We say we have a restored Union? If
this is the kind of restored Union we
have we want none of ii. But these
little men such as John Sherman, For.
aker and others OF their ilk, who glo-
~ in their hatred to the South.
Though they may be great aud wise
in their day, will soon pass into obli-
yion before the mighty swell Of pa
triotic emotion which shall soon wit-
pess that we are one people who pay
allegiance to the Constitution of the
United States, whoar united in heart
and feelings, ss well as by words and
acts. We cannot believe that the Re.
publican party will endorse Mr.. Sher
man, in his mad career, and bitter
crusade against the South. We firm
ly believe that the utterances he has
given forth is the entering wedge
that will forever split and destroy his
power to control.
