WALKED THE PLANK.
A Former Defiance Minister Bounced
From the Chicag Post ONCE.

From the Chic ago Post once.
The Chicago Times contained the follow.
ing article last week which cannot fail to be
of interest to Defiance people:
SO the ak falls again.up at the government
buildings and the 4th of March is yet some
weeks off. Curious, isn't it, that Democrats
should be walking the plank at the command
of Democrat. Walking the plank is a
better metaphor in this case than the az. The
Rev. A. V. Gorrel, superintendent of the city
division, or, believe collector was his title,
is told to move out.
Mr.. Gorrel was an Episcopal rector when
Mr.. Judd placed him in Office. Some in
trinity prevented the rector from making a
living by his divine calling and he was forced
to give up the church for the State. He was
q Democrat and a very nice gentleman, and
whatey er else may be said about Mr.. Judd's
administration he did like to have himself
surrounded by gentlemen. Mr.. Gorrel's po-
sition was not one which he could use as a
club and he attended strictly to business
He did join the Andrew jackson league and
If mistake not made several speeches in the
same. But when it came to "knockln'
around town o'nights with the gang" Mr..
Gorrel was not on hand. He didn't "whoop
her up lively" at the primary or the ward
meeting, nor was he even permitted to sit in
the sacred precincts of the Iroquois club
That is to say he didn't.
But he walks the plank Just the same, and
it is Democratic plank, "all creased with
tar and SOAP" Next!
Rev. Gorrel was rector at the Episcopal
church eight or ten years ago. He was Rev.
Nays predecessor and very popular man.
He has many friends who regret that he has
been 80 unfortunate as to loose his position,
and who hope that his discharge from the
post Office will be the means of securing him
better one.-Defance Crescent.

Private DalzeII's Find.

In an open letter, dated December %, but
just made public, Private Dalzell has called
the attention of veterans to the existence of
an act Of Congress which allows to soldiers
who were captured and imprisoned while in
the line Of duty, or their representatives, q
cents day while so confined. By the same
law soldiers on furlough were entitled to 25
cents q day and cents a mile for transpor-
tation to and from the army. Widows and
orphans of soldiers included in either or both
Of these classes are entitled to the money.
which, on an average, amounts to $35 for
each pensioner in America. Private Dslzsll
estimates that there are about 400, 900 of these
claims that could be collected, which IL paid
would relieve the National Treasury of some
thing like $l4,OOO,OOO. Very few veterans
have been aware of the existence of such a
law.

The Democratic party - the party
which suffered disruption and defeat
rather than yield to secession demands
before the war; the party which did
everything in its power to avert the
dread calamity of civil war by favoring
all constitutional, honorable and rea.
sonable propositions of a peaceful ma
ture; the party which, when war could
no longer be averted,. cast its whole
power and influence on the side of the
Union and the constitution; and the
party which, when the war was over,
used all ofits efforts in behalf of a res
tored Union and a united people-this
is the party which has been persistently
misrepresented by its political oppo-
nents as a disloyal and disunion party!
The party which stood by and suppoted
Stephen A. Douglas in 1860 is the party
which has preserved its principles and
organization as the Democratic party;
and any party or any men who accuse
that party of disloyalty or disunion,
make thereby as false charges as the
Devil ever formulated. This is true
history.-ZanesUiUe Signal.

tBThe State Board of Public Works has
just made its annual report and in it much
space is given to the discussion of the canals
of the State. The report shows total receipts
of $110, 1885, and total disbursements of
$232, ,O04.66. The canals have been much i'm
proved during the past year and are now said
to be in better condition than for years. The
Chief Engineer recommends deepening the
Northern Division, extending from Cleveland
to Trenton, one foot. This will permit boats
to carry heavier tonnage and the additional
revenue to the State would be about $13 per
boat.

OF Interest to Bankers and Deposit


A law was passed by the present Ohio Leg
islature last March which has to some extent
been overlooked. 1t goes into, effect this
month and that between the first and third
Mondays of January of every year, all banks,
whether private or national, and all corpora
tions or persons engaged in the business of
lending and receiving money, shall make a
report, under oath of the leading person of
such organization of the depositors of the
organization-that is of all accounts which
have stood on the books for period of sew
en- years previous to the time of the making
of the report, without having received debt
or credit. The report shall be made to the
Probate Judge and the penalty for not doing
it is $500.
The law further provides that if the ac-
count shall stand unchanged on the books for
eight years from the time of its being pul
there, or of the debtor credit, the bank shall
turn the money over to the County Treasurer,
receiving receipt for it, and shall then be
relieved of all further responsibility or liabil-
ity. If any one should turn up to claim it the
County Commissioners or the Judge can IS
sue warrant for the account if the claim is
proved, and the County Treasurer shall pay
the warrant.

Superstitious people look forward with
some dread to the coming year. 1t happens
that 1889 begins with a total eclipse. which
astronomical event has not occurred before
on Jan. for over 200 years, and will not
again occur on this date for another 300
years.
To add to the gravity Of the situation, from
an astrological point of view, there are to be
two solar eclipses in 1889. This, while not
unprecedented, is still so unusual that astro-
logically speaking, there is no telling what
may and what may not happen before the
fateful year is past.

Because a newspaper man duns you is no
reason why you should get angry. A dun is
not an impeachment nor reflection upon the
integrity but simply an outcropping of the
publishers necessities. For instance thous-

each. He has to dun them all. and what a
large sum it makes. Instead of getting mad
and quitting the paper because the publisher
asks him for his dues, the subscriber should
pay him like a man.-Er.

~ The obligation of every farmer is first
to his own family. Of all the products of the
farm every thing that is in demand for fami-
ly use, should be appropriated for that pur-
pose, and there should always be reserved a
supply sufficient to answer all demands. In
the case of fruits, especially apples, the great
variety of ways in which they can be prepared
as an article of food, suggest that the supply
be ample, for there is no healthier food than
fruit in its natural stats or cooked for the
fastidious palate.
