J. III. Carter. Of Tecumseh township,
has COW which, on April II. gave
birth to two lambs and calf. The
lambs are to all appearance per-
feet, but larger than ordinary. The
calf, male, is also perfect. The ex-
preston in the face of the lambs has
popularity, while considerable hair is
mixed among the wool, both in the
fleece and on the legs. Mr.. Carter has
already refused an offer of 5000 for the
dam and family. So far as known
there is no parallel case OH record.-Ex.
Mary had a little lamb, it's fleece was
white as snow. it strayed away one
summer day, where lambs should never

tears streamed from her pretty eyes;
she never found her lamb because she
never advertised. And Mary had a
brother John, who kept village store,
and he sat down and smoked pipe
and watched the open door. And all
the people passed along, but did not
stop to buy; John still sat down and
smoked his pipe and blinked his weary
eye; and Mary came to drop sympa-
thetic tear. allow is it sister that
those other merchants here, sell all the
goods and pay their bills and thrive
from year to year. Remembering now
her own bad luck the little maid replies:

SHOT THE SEA-SERPENT.
The Monster of the Deep Was
Eighty Feet Long
And ns Big Around as Barrei-Sank to
Rise No More.

PANAMA, July a4.-Captain William
r. Smith, of the bark Nautilus, reports
that when off Cape Berkeley, Galapago
Islands, the sea serpent was seen
about thirty yards from the
vessel. Captain Smith estimated
the serpents length at eighty feet, and
he was about as la, &c around as a
barrel in the thickest part. The head
was shaped like snakes, only on the
extreme end of the upper jaw there was
a ridge or bunch. The head was about
three feet in length, and about two feet
back of the head was q name of hair.
No fins were seen. The tail was long
and tapering, and shaped like that of an
eel. We all had a good view of him
while he was slowly coming toward the
ship. The captain and mate loaded two
bomb guns and banged away at him,
and for about fifteen minutes there was
quite circus, the serpent lashing the
water with his tail and running his head
out four or five feet. At last he ran out
his head, whisked around and sank,
dead. Both bombs hit him. When he
went down he was not more than twenty
feet from the ship, and SO, of course, we
had q good look at him.

Mr.. Brown the others search

by their disappointment, they bound

morning and relieved their sufferings.
They were able to identify all the par

their arrest. A sheriff's posse is now

A Table Showing the Collections by Coun-
tics and tho Number of Saloons in tho
state.
COLUMBUS, August 1.-The semi-annual
returns under the Dow law, showing the
number of saloons in each county of tho
State, together with the amount assessed
and collected, have been received by the
Auditor of State, The reports cover the
first half of 1885, and compared with tho
last six months of 1888, show a slight IN
crease in the number of saloons, with cor
responding addition to the assessments and
amount collected. Omitting Logan County,
the returns of which are still out the
tabulated statement of the Auditor
of State, which is Just completed, shows the
present number of saloons in Ohio to be
9,6O2, against 8, 4S7 for the last six months OF
1888, an increase of 115. The receipts TO
the State general revenue fund are S232, :.
0121l, against SOD, ,2I6.S6, an increase OF
Sc, 1885, 25, while the total collections foot up
81, 100, 145 06, as compared with 81, ,133, lI4.41
for the preceding six months, an increase
of S26, ,9T0.59.
There are three counties in the State
Geauga Harrison and Morgan-in which no
saloons are located. Harrison County had
one saloon at the last settlement, but the
business was discontinued, and the county
is now "dry," the deficiency tax being
returned in the current report. The fol-

BIG DEFALCATIONS.

Tho Auditor and Treasurer of Warren
County Appropriated Over $4,000 to
Their Own Uses-The Treasurer is Ar
rested.
LEBANON, o., Aug. 3,-The Graham inves-
tigating committee made partial report
yesterday. Since September 5, 1887, Gra-
ham has drawn ST., 71242. OF that amount
$40, 1927 was illegal and drawn upon fraud
ulent warrants. The auditor also received
warrants from auditors of Butler and Mont.
gomery counties to the amount of 81, ,161.72,
which he appropriated to his own use. In
addition there are fraudulent warrants
found in the treasurer's office, stamped
paid, of which no record is made in the au-
ditor's order book, TO the amount of $685.
2ll.09. Money was turned over to treasurer
Coleman, who never charged himself. The
report severely criticizes the action of the
county commissioners. Coleman was ar
rested on two charges of embezzlement. He
was taken before Squire Blackburn and
pleaded not guilty. The committee hopes
to finish the work and make the final report
in few days.
Public feeling has been wrought up to the
highest tension, and there is great indigna-
tion at the manner in which county affairs
have been conducted. The vacancy caused
by the flight of auditor Graham has been
filled by the appointment of deputy Ran
dali. The committee has been working
three weeks with the theory that Graham
could not have carried on his extensive
stealings unless some persons had criminal
knowledge of what was going on. Amid
the excitement the flight of Graham seems
to have dropped out of sight and attention
has been solely fixed on the outcome of
Coleman's investigation. The treasurer
had been reelected and his new term is to
commence in September, but his bondsmen
have gone back on him. ColeUan was
formerly poor writing teacher, but since
he has been in Office he has lived in swell
style. He strenuously denies any embezzle.
ment on his part and charges the missing
auditor Graham with being sol lely RESPONSE
BILE for the enormous deficiency.

SUNDAY MORNING BATTLE,
A Low Dance Ends in a Fright
full Melee.
Razors, Knives and Revolvers Used Freely
Half n Dozen of the Particle
pants Fatally Wounded.

CINCINNATI, Aug 5.--The village OF
Walton, KY, eighteen miles southwest
of here, on the Southern and Short-Line
roads was the scene of frightful slaughter
early yesterday morning. A dance had
been given by the colored people of that
neighborhood About 2 a. m. quarrel
both claimed. Tho fight between the
two dusky Amazons led to general me-
lee. During the melee pistols,
knives and razors were drawn
and freely used. Nearly fifty
shots were fired, and fully half a dozen
of the participants in the row were
doubtlessly fatally wounded. The
house, after the fight, looked like a
veritable slaughter-pen. The floor,
walls and furniture were despatched
with blood. Cory trails led in every di-
rection. The fence had been broken
down in many places, and the palings
showed the print ot bloody hands. 1t
was thought yesterday that at least
five of the wounded would die be-
fore nightfall, and that many
others were almost as badly hurt. The
affair has caused great excitement
throughout that section. Angry colored
men pursued two of the prominent par
ticipants in the affair, and who are
credited with doing most of the bloody
execution. If caught they will be
lynched to the nearest tree. The white
citizens of Walton are also terribly
aroused, and are taking steps to prevent
further bloodshed. Three years ago the
town went dry" Since then the lower
classes of the population have made it
custom to club in Saturday and send to
the city for whisky and beer by the whole
sale. The consequence has been that
some sanguinary encounter has occurred
nearly every Saturday night. Follow
ing is the list of casualties: Fatally
injured-Rube Finnel, shot through the
abdomen; Harris johnson, two bullets
through left arm, another in right side;
John Robinson, sixteen, bullet entered
left breast near the nipple and another
through stomach; Bartlcy Carson. two
bullet-holcs, one on each side of the
spine. Seriously injured-"Sis' Mitch
ell. frightful cut on shoulder; "Nic'
Williams, slash across right breast,
right arm laid open from the shoulder;
Martha Collins, cut across the back.
Many others were wounded as shown by
the trails of bloed leading from the
dance hall.

POPS THE QUESTION.
Mayor of Tacoma Formally Applies fo
All of Boston,s 10. 900 Snlnstcrs

Mayor of Tacoma Formally Applies for
All of Boston's 10000 Spinstcrs.
New YORK, Aug. "a special from
Boston says: The 10, 600 or more Boston
spinsters, young, middle-aged and aged,
grass widows, fair Divorces and lone
females generally, felt their hearts flut-
ter to-day with an indescribable senti-
ment. From the far Northwest, from
the pushing, hustling Washington Ter
ritory, came some good news. 1t was an
offer of marriage for each individual
Massachusetts female who has been
pining for the coming of some nice
young man who would claim her.
The offer came through Mayor Hart in
the shape of a letter sent by Mayor
Wheelwright, of Tacoma, which it is
stated that the Territory of Washington,
and Tacoma in particular is filled with
sober, industrious and enterprising
young men who desire in the worst way
to enter the matrimonial state, there
being at present ten young men there to
one young woman. Massachusetts has
surplus of females amounting to so, 900,
of which number at least fifty per cent.
are unmarried and with no prospect of a
chance to get married. If Mayor Hart
does not answer the appeal it is certain
that many of the marriageable females
here will answer it.
