From Edge Hill.

Social news being scare and not important
we must go abroad.
Word has been received here of the death
of the father of Mr.. Gottfried Oesch, of Edge
Hill, Mo-, in Columbiana county, Ohio, on
the oath of February, 1888.
Mr.. Christian Oesch was born in the acan
ton of Berne, in Switzerland, in 1882. He
came to America In 1854, and settled near
North Georgetown, Ohio. Thence he re-
moved to Mahoping county. Ohio. After
five years he removed to Columbiana county,
Ohio. He was a member of the German
Reformed Church, and led a quiet and
peaceful life, marked by foresight, industry
and economy. He landed in New York With
twenty five dollars In his pocket, and died
worth at least twice as many thousand. His
family consisted of eleven children, ten OF
whom and their mother survive him. Mr..
Christian Oesch was very good specimen
of that class of immigrants that has done so
much to develope our western country in
the right direction. His last illness was
short, and there is some uncertainty in re-
gard to the immediate cause of his death.
For some years tendency to apopleXy bad
been developed. But shortly before his
death he was thrown from mule and Sc
verely injured. May he rest in peace.

That POor-H0use Contract.

Ed. RegiSter-At the meeting of the coun-

the week the subject of building house on
the county farm for the keeping of the poor

decided to build Immediately; aud then and
there Judge Clarkson made pencil plan of
a building for the consideration of the court
on the bench. The court directed me that
day going home to submit its plan to Mr..
Miller and get his price for building such a
house. Me-. Miller and talked the matter
over, and agreed that Miller should draw
and submit another plan TO the court, also,
which he did. The court then requested
Mr.. Miller to make an estimate and his price
on each plan for the court. The court de-
cided to let the buildidg to the lowest bid
der, and directed me to submit both plans to
Mr. Baldwin and get his estimate for build
ing the same. l handed Mr.. Baldwin both
plans and he had them in his possession "a
hours, or more. l called on Mr.. Baldwin
for the plans and his estimates, which he
said were not made out, but said he would
come into court and talk the matter over,
which he did, and gave the court his esti.
mates verbally. The court requested me in
passing home Friday evening to get Mr..
Baldwin to submit his plans and estimates
in writing, and give them TO me in the
morning, which he did. Why Mr.. Baldwin
submitted different plan, we could not tell,
as he had all the plans some time in his pos
