Killed by the Cars.

A frightful and fatal accident occurred
at Archibald, o., last Wednesday morn
ing, whereby Clement Reighley, a far
mer living one mile east of that place
lost his life.
About three O'Clock on that morning
he had gone to town after DIR. Hartman,
as some of his folks were sick. On his
way home and just as he was crossing
the railroad track at the main street
crossing, his horse stopped and refused
to move. Just at this time freight
train, west bound, came laundering
along and struck the front part of the
buggy, breaking 1t all to pieces, throw
ing the horse several rods while the un-
fortunate man fell on the track, the cars
running over him cutting off both legs
and otherwise injuring him to such an
extent that he died of his injuries in a
short time. He leaves wife and three
children. He was man aged about So
years. We have no data as to who was
to blame in this accident, but everyone,
who crosses railroad track should be
sure that they have sufficient time to
cross before making the attempt

"a The correspondent for the New York
Times says that Washington is filling up with
men who have held Office, men who have been
out of Office three or four years, and men who
have come back with appetites whettened by
abstinence. A great deal has been said about
the hunger and thirst of the Democrats in
1885. 1t was only a feeble and timorous
yearning compared with that which has been
showing itself for several weeks. The first
arrivals, too, are old birds who know all the
cross cuts to success, who have sought to re-
establish old influences, revamp old recon-
mendations and add to them the record of
services rendered in order to give them a
great advantage over the raw applicants, fresh
from their first political engagements, who
will appear later to ask the attention and pat
ronage of the new rulers.

Barbary Maier, aged 81 years, month and Ii
days. Mother Maier was born in Written
berg, Germany, November 16, 1901. She was
the mother of nine children, four of whom
preceded her to the spirit land. In the year
1888 in company with her husband. Gottlieb
F. Maier, she left the home of her childhood
and settled in Pennsylvania, where they re-
mained until 1843, when they moved to Fair.
field county. Ohio, here they remained until
1S49 when they came to Henry county, where
they lived until 1884, when her husband was
called by the relentless hand of death. Prom
this time she was the subject of severe afflic-
tion which she bore with patience, for at the
early age of fourteen years she was made the
recipient of the comforts which religion yields
to its possessor. Funeral services held at
Christian Union church, Jan. End 1883, by j.
W. Myers and Rev. Sinclair. Sermon de-
livered both in English and German.
Lay down the cross dear mother,

Lame Horses.

One of the most difficult things to do some
times is to locate an injury which makes your
horses lame. Heat or swelling or both is
usually present and when it is, locates the
disease or trouble. But all the tests very
frequently fail to locate it, and one of the
best rules ever adapted by any one who owns
or has the care of horses, is never to treat
them with any medicine either to rub on or
give internally until you are able to diagnose
the disease, very often more injury is done
than good by treating animals without know
ing what the disease is or where it is located.
After knowing what the trouble is you can go
to Saur & Balsley's Drug and Medicine Store
and procure the remedy which will most
speedily cure him for a very small sum of
money.

WThe Ohio fish law, making it illegal for
any person to "draw, set, place or locate any
trap, pound, net, sein, or any other device for
catching fish," has been declared unconstitu-

cusses the question at some length, and con-
cludes by stating that it is his opinion that the
act is unconstitutional in that it authorizes
the confscation and sale Of private property,
without legal process, and thereby works a
forfeiture of estate.
