THE LADDER.


Every person must climb
life's ladder. No matter who
or what they are or where they
come from, the ladder is placed
before them to climb. Some
run up its rounds actively and
with apparent ease; others are
slow but sure; others fall when
half way up; others reach all
but the last round than fall.
Some of our people deserve
the success they have attained;
they are entitled to a resting
place on the top round of ife's
ladder; their pluck, tact and
business energy has placed
them there, position they are
justly entitled to hold.
There are probably few busi-
ness men in this part of the
state in the same line of trade,
who by dint of honesty and
years of steady earnest toll,
have reached as lofty position
on the ladder of fame as Messrs.
Saur & Balsley, proprietors of
the far famed Drug, Book and
Wall Paper House under their
control. Their business career
in Napoleon dates back over a
quarter Of century, during
which period they have con-
stantly studied thewants of the
people in this locality and their
efforts have been duly appre-
ciated.
The firm has had an unpre-
cedented holiday trade, but
many articles, both useful and
ornamental is still on exhibition
which they are offering at ex-
tremely low figures, in order
to make room for their usual
spring stock. It will repay
any one to take advantage of
the goods and prices now rang
ing at this house.
In the way of wall and cell
ing papers, paints, oils, var
nishes, brushes, etc., a large
and varied stockis always shown
and the record of this house on
these goods is not allowed to
lag. The stock is complete
throughout, and the brands and
quality Of the goods tested, and
all sold as cheap if not cheaper
than can be had in the great
Northwest.
With a small outlay you can
decorate your homes, making
them both attractive and COM
Portable, two of the requisites
of a perfect and happy freside.
To still make the expense less
one can place these papers up
on the walls themselves; it re-
quires no expert. Then why
not do this for your families, by
buying some Of the fine patterns
Of wall paper on sale at Saur
& Balsley's
All the celebrated patent

NAL family. Pure and fresh

AROUND THE EDGES.

The Sarah Huffman trouble has gone up in
thin cloud of smoke. Two alleged crimes
brought to the attention of the grand jury
were not recommended for the Common
Pleas Courts consideration. No bill was
found against Sarah Huffman. Her bond is
released. The charges preferred against her
we're considered groundl ess by fifteen good
men, and if they are correct in their decis-
ion, Mrs. Huffman has suffered a great
wrong, one which, to a certain extent, can
never be righted. The Injustice, if such it
be, can not be laid at any door. In the pre-
submitted case worthy of consideration and
to many, convincing, that she was guilty Of
the alleged crime. But since this hearing,
evidence has been unearthed that proves be-
yond doubt her innocence.
Owing to the brief time between the arrest
and hearing, the testimony of Charles Mars
house, who was in attendance from the time
of Andrew Hofman's death, relative to the
disposition made of the body, was consider
ed to be identical with that of the undertaken;
hCuSO eiob lhhiNlAudA was hOb ouDpOOhdCAs
Marshouse testified that no fluids of any
kind were injected; that small aperture was
bored in the stomach, something resembling
a goose quill inserted therein through which
foul air escaped to such an extent that he was
forced to leave the room.
Before the grand jury, Gottlieb Martin, of
Defiance, the undertaken in charge, testified
that he found the body in bad condition;
that he opened an artery in the arm and inject
ed three pints of fembalming fluid; that through
the opening above the stomach, described
by Marshouse, quantity of the same fluid
was diffused through the abdomen and chest.
The undertaken produced letter from the
manufacturer of the embalming fluid which
in subsistence stated that his fluid in common
with all others for like purpose is composed
mostly of poisonous ingredients. most prom
inent among which is arsenic. The analyti-
cal chemist testified that his analysis was
made from the stomach, and portions of the
liver and spleen, all of which, according to
Martins testimony were literally saturated
with rank poisonous fluid. Is it then at all
strange that four grains of arsenic were found
from an analysis of three such poison laden
organs?
Without Martins testimony, circrmstan-
tial evidence would rather point to Sarah
Hoffmans guilt; it was wholesome evidence
on which the prosecuting lawyers had good
grounds to base their allegations. But with
this testimony she is vindicated.
The case was skillfully managed by the at
torneys on both SIDES.

1t was in estimating the value of true
friendship, and with the earnest purpose of
a rich harvest, that the members of the
Grand Army of the Republic, residing in
Napoleon, formed themselves in body
known as the Choate Post. It was with a
true conception of friendship that, on the
9Th. of April 1866, years before, when the
country was torn assunder and disorganized
by mighty and fearful four-years civil
strife, tnat small band of scared and griz-
zled veterans assembled at Decatur, Illinois
the adopted state of Lincoln, Douglass and
Grant, and established the initial post COM
mandary. 1t was friendship that called a
major portion of Napoleon to the Opera
House, Monday evening to assist in COM
memorating the quarto- centennial of this
organizations life.

Friendship is priceless jewel-a gem of
the purest ray that, Croesus, the Babylonian,
with all his countless wealth could not gain,
yet which may have been possessed by the
poorest plebian under his power, and in un-
limited quantity. 1t is wealth to cling to
with tenacity bordering on desperation.
It is wealth often confounded with spur
ious and base metal existing behind the thin
coat-fattery. 1t is like the pearl that show
eth best by daylight, and not the carbuncle
and fools-gold that are most brilliant in var
led lights. Their is not only an ineffa5le
pleasure in a cognizance of this wealth, but
with it utility-a power before which, the
fanciful support, produced by money-a
mere barter and sale-fades into nothing
ness. False friendship, the spurious article,
can uot forslong exist. It is, in the ladguage
of the Ayrshire Ploughmau:
Like the snow falls in the river,
A moment white--then melts forever;
Or like the Borealis race,
That fit ERE you can point their place;
Or like the rainbow's lovely form,
Evanishing amid the storm.
