The Jones-Bryant Contest.

The Sheriff contest case began on
Tuesday last before Esquires Comstock
and Abbott at b. G. The contestor
was represented by attorneys Cook &
Troup, while DR.. Bryant was rep
resented by Dodge & Canary, attorneys.
Several witnesses were examined. The
first being N. S. Jones, who simply
testified to serving notice of contest
on DIR Bryant. He was followed by
h B. Moore, Clerk of Center township,
and George Wolf, r. Eldridge, and G..
S. Stacy judges of election in the same
township.
Tho ballot box was opened and n
recount taken which resulted in giving
Bryant total of 269, and Jones 419,
which is just five votes more than was
given to Jones at the first count, and
makes the result in the total vote or
the county tie, as it will be remem-
bered Bryant was given Il majority of
five in the official count in November.
w. +. Stretchberry and jacob
Oswald of Weston, were examined aud
testified that there were tSo tickets in
the box which were not counted,
because there were two more tickets
than voters recorded, and these two
which were not counted were straight
Republican tickets.
Thus the matter rests, Jones and
Bryant are tie, and how the matter
will end is hard to tell. Thus far the
contestor has proven all he claimed,
and they may possibly have to toss Up
TO settle the case.

On Friday night last the hardware
store of j. Davis was burglarized and
about $500 worth of revolvers, silver
ware and cutlery taken. The entrance
was gained through the door on Second
street.
On Saturday morning the police of
Toledo were notified, and Sunday night
| word was received here of the capture
of the burglar and the recovery of
nearly all the goods. On Monday
morning j. Davis accompanied by Jas.
Hayes and Marshal Sticliles went to
the city to identify the goods and bring
the burglar to Perrysburg.
On Saturday night, officer Mullen.
whose beat is on Perry street, was
taken sick and started for head quarters
to report and discovered a man coming
out of junk store with few knives
in his hand. He run him in. and upon
close questioning the fellow weakened
and confessed. A few knives were
found on his person and he informed
the police that the balance were hid
in manure pile on Everhard Gerkins
place in Perrysburg township. An
officer was sent to the place designated
and the goods found and taken to the
police headquarters where they were
identified by Mr. Davis, who presented
each of the officers with u splendid
knife, and brought the balance home.
The prisoner gave his name as Dan
Cannon and afterwards changed it to
John Johnston. He had been given
lodging at the Jail the night previous
and was ordered to leave town. He
went to the outskirts of town and hung
around till night. He then resolved
to ''raise the wind" and stole Philip
Wetzels horse blanket which he used
to deaden the sound of breaking glass.
He mashed the window in and after
waiting to see if anyone was awakened
by the noise, went in and helped him
self. He was taken to Bowling Green
Monday afternoon by james Hayes and
placed in the county Jail. The fellow
is % years old, a book binder by trade,
and says he would not have done the
deeu if he had had work, or money to buy
something to eat, and would rather go
to the penitentiary than to tramp about
as he has for the past three months.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the Diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con.
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out snd this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will
be DESTROYED forever; nine cases out oi
ten are caused by catarrh, which is moth.
ing but an inllamed condition of the mu.
cous surfaces.
Q We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by Ca
tarrh) that we cannot cure by taking
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu.
lars, free.

The Annexation OF the Sandwich Islands,
King Kalakaua's visit to this country
is said to be with the intention OF
proposing the annexation of his king
dom to the United States. AS the
incorporation of the Sandwich Islands
with the United States would not only
make British manufactures consumed
there subject to our Tariff laws, but
would bring the transportation between
the islands and this country under our
coasting laws, thereby greatly injuring
the interests of British shipping, we
may confidently expect to see all the
kept papers and writers in this country,
using their influence against such a
measure.

We are indebted to the Daily Sem
tinel for most of our information con-
corning the Sheriff contest case, and
hope it is correct. Last week we stole
an item from that paper and received
a letter from Stony Ridge saying the
item was false, and intimating that
the JOURNAL had lied. The writer
did not say anything about the Sem
tinel having told a falsehood, but that's
probably because they didn't know
there was such paper as the Sentinel

The Perrysburg branch of the Mer-
chants Retail Commercial agency OF
Chicago, is doing excellent work.
The members have been very success
ful in making collections. Many
accounts which have heretofore been
considered as hopeless have been
collected. Aside from the collections,
the home Office at Chicago issues
monthly bulletins to the members
in all towns where branches are
located giving a list of those who have
failed to pay bills and are unworthy of
being trusted. The merchant can
look ut his list when customer asks
for credit, and if his name is son the
list he is politely informed that he
can have no goods without paying cash
Tor them. If the merchant gives
credit to Il listed man, he must pay II
fine of $40 to the branch for every such
offense.
The rapid increase of the society
will soon prevent the system of buying
OF one firm until they refuse further
credit and then going to another and
SO on until every merchant in town
has been beat.
There are few members in this
place who have not become members
and it is hoped they will soon join the
branch and effectually crush out all
dead beats.

Just then shell from a union battery
some distance away came shrieking along
the parapet, ten feet above his head. he
sprang from the intrenchment and ran as
though the devil was after him. Suddenly
he stumbled and fell. In twinkhng, how
over, he seemed TO realiZe his situation.
Springing to his feet he again brandlshed
his sword and shouted: Halt, men; haiti
the honor of South Carolina is at stake!"
John says that the whole Mississippi
brigade rOared with laughter. Men threw
themselves upon their backs and screamed
with merriment, paying not the slightest
attention to the shells bursting above them
Congressman Hilary A. Herbert also tells
a good confederate war story. Mr.. Her
bert was colonel of the Eighth Alabama
regiment, and was engaged in the thickest
of the fight at Gettysburg. While his
regiment was lying along the line of the
Rappahannock before the march into Penn
sylvania camp guard was thrown out
Martin Riley was one of those guards.
While Martin was on pcs Jeb Sturt'S cav
airy came il from one of its remarkable
raids. The riding and fighting hal been
incessant The head OF the column as it
passed the Eighth Alabama was we'll
broken by stragglers. The Alabama regi-
ment passed jocose comments upon the
troopers. Sucn expressions as, go right
along to the rear, boys, and get your but
termilk," and, "We'll take care of you and
see that nobody hurts you" were used.
The last straggler was eighty yards be
hind. He was mounted upon a perfect
Rosinante. The horse was lame and COM
pletely jaded. The man wore a hat SC
slouchy that he had to throw the back OF
his head on the nape OF his neck to see any
thing in front of him. The hat ran to q
point like that of an Italian brigand. Its
top was full of holes, and it was so dirty
that no man could tell its original color.
The Alabamians overwhelmed the fatigued
warrior with jibes and jests. He was fear
fully enraged, and gave vent to a choice
collection of brass-mouthed Virginia oaths
At the hight OF his profanity Martin Riley
accosted him in a sympathetic tone of
voice.
See here, my good friend, he shouted.
The Virginlan halted his horse and asked
Riley what he wanted.
"Well, | sYmpathize with you" Riley re
piled, 'but | wouldn't be so mad at those
fellows if was in your place. They DOM
amount to anything. They're always
hollering at some damphool or other"
