For the RECoRD-UNIoN.f
SMALL BEGINNINGS,


Twas an acorn that fell by the wayside-
Planted there by careless hand,
For many day it was hidden from sight
In the rich and fertile land;
But at length there came forth in its beauty
Uncovered to the light of the sun
little tree that bade fair to be
AS large as the largest one.
A childish hand once scattered
Some seeds on a hillside bleak and bare
As time rolled on those tiny seeds
Brought forth sweet flowers there,
That bioSsomed in beauteous splendor-
In sweet luxuriance wild
Transformed was that desolate hillside,
By the hand of little child.
learned divine addressed a crowd,
Words of knowledge to impart,
They took effect. they saved soul
They changed sinful heart;
And he who had a scoffer been
The laws of God outraged
A curse to all his fellow men
few chance words had saved.
1t was only kind word spoken,
To life made sad with pain
Yet twas treasured in the hearts deep recesses
And there 1t would ever remain;
And lie that had been deeply embittered-
That through wrongs from its depths had been
stirred
Seemed to cast off its cares and burdens,
By kindly spoken word.
1t is thus through life as we journey,
That small beginnings large results oft yield;
And, though humble indeed, be our sphere in
life,
Our influence for good we should WELD;
Tis the brooklets that broaden the river
lis the dew drops that moisten the lea
lis the small streams that help swell the ocean.
As onward they flow to the sea.

Will be Enforced.

A case involving violation Of the sani-
tary ordinance came up in the police court
yesterday. An ordinance of this city pro
vides against the emptying of ashes or
refuse on the street or on the ground
around premises, and says that fire proof
SSeceptacles for such material must be
Nsed. Not much attention has been paid
10 this ordinance in the past, and in conse-
quence people have become careless.
More than one instance can be recalled
where the emptying of hot ashes against
wooden partitions or among dry and in
flammable material has come near causing
a serious conflagration. Since the ap-
pointment of a sanitary inspector the ordi-
nance has been better observed, and Mr.
Lewis is determined that it shall be en-
forced without fear, favor or partially In

PENDANT set up the plea that he
was merely an agent. Judge Preshaw
held that the agent was equally response
Bile with the principal. AS this was the
first case of the kind that had been brought
into court, the Judge did not consider that
it was his duty to impose any fine. He de-
sired it to be understood, however, that the
sanitary inspectors orders must be obeyed
when they are in accordance with the pro-
visions of ordinances, and that those who
willfully disobey them will be severely
dealt with hereafter.

PECULIAR ACCIDENT
WHICH RESULTS IN THB INSTANT DEATH
OF HUNTER
Up Near Por.land-His Body Lies in The Woods for
Two Days-Tbs Deceased a Resi-
dent Of Columbus.

A very sad and fatal accident came to
light up at Portland Station, halfdozen
miles north of Martins Ferry, yesterday.
An old gentleman named Humphrey,
aged about tixty-eight years, WAS found
lying dead in the wood, sbout four miles
back in the country from the little town,
having shot himself through the body with
a heavily charged shotgun.
No. Humphrey was q resident Of Colum'
bus, o., but was we'll known in the vicini-
ty Of Portland, having been born and
raised there He removed some years sgo,
locating in Indianapolis and later in Co
lumbus where he has been engaged in
business. About q week sgc, be came 10
Portland on a visit to his sister, who re-
sides in that vicinity, and on Friday morn
ing he took his gun and went ont into the
country on a hunting expedition. He did
not arrive home Friday evening,
but little or TO anxiety was felt,
as il was supposed he had stopped
over night, and would arrive in few
hours. All day Saturday went by, how
ever, without Mr. Humphrey putting in an
appearance, and yesterday party went in
search of him. Alter spending several
hours in securing the country, a searching
party came upon the body OF Mr. Pumph-
rey lying among some trees. He was ly-
ing on his face, and bad evidently been
dead since some time Friday. The heavy
charge from his thot gun had penetrated
his chtst about the region o; the stomach,
ranging upward, and death must have
been instantaneous. The muzzle Of the
gun had run up inside the dead mans
vest, entering at the waist, and prOtruded
from the collar, and, from the surround
ings. it was evident that be had been
standing on a rotten log, with the Dutt Of
the gun resting on the ground in front OF
and below bin. The log had broke in two
with his weight, and be bai fallen forward
on the muzzle Of ths gun, which had run
up under his yest, and was discharged in
that position, making the accident very
peculiar one.
The deceased was reported last night as
being a married man, his wife living in Co
lumbus.
