DIED.-We are panied to record
the death of Mr.. Peter Farley Roush,
son of ]. A. Rousb, Esq, of sassa-
fras, this county, of typhoid fever,
on Friday, Sept. Is, 1893, aged %
years, / month and 2 days. He
was buried Saturday, Rev. G. ].
Trippett conducting the funeral
services. His relatives and friends
have our heartfelt sympathy.
We are sorry to chronicle the
death of Mr.. Carleton Young, which
sad event took place last Sunday
evening, Sept. IL, 1893, ut his cot
tage home in Syracuse, Ohio. Mr..
Young was one of the best known
and substantial citizens of this
county. In early life he engaged
in steamboating, but of late years
gave his attention exclusively to
agricultural pursuits, owning a
fine farm in this county, above New
Haven, where he resided in the
summer seasons; also. one in Ohio,
near Racine. He had but recently
removed from this side of the river
to his home in Syracuse, where he
was accustomed to spend the winter
months. Mr.. Young was born in
New Hampshire, and came to this
county in early manhood. He has
three daughters living, two of whom
are conducting What is known as
the "Hutlngton School of Music .
at Huntington The third daughter
is the wife of Hon. Lon T. Pilchard,
Prosecuting Attorney ofthis county.
Three sons survive Mr.. Young; one
of whom is the Captain of the Str.
Lee a. Brooks, and resides at Iron
ton, Ohio; the other two reside in
Lincoln. Nebraska, engaged in the
banking, real estate and loan bust
ness. We extend our sympathy to
the bereaved family.
flour Huntington neighbors keep
on bringing such enormous damage
suits against the railroads running
into that city, it will not be long
until the railroads will leave the
city out in the cold. Such conduct
may eventually drive all the rail
road shops out of the town, and in
stead of Huntington being a rail
road center, will become nothing
more than a switch station. Wheel
ing tried that game years ago with
the B. & o., and the result was that
the road left that city and crossed
the Ohio river at Bellaire, and
Wheeling suffered largely by its
niggardly policy. OF course, the
city recovered from this loss after
years of struggle, but then Wheel
ing is made up differently from
Huntington.

II 1T be the duty of law makers to
enact such rules tor the regulation of
mems conduct, we can conceive no
better object to which they can direct
their assiduous attention than the pre-
ventlon of prize fighting. 1t is useless
to say that athletes are rot permitted
to bratalize themselves by fighting
with their naked fistsas the gloves they
are authorized to wear are not suffi-
clent to prevent jaw-breaking and
homicides. Our people have been ac-
customed to reprobate the bull bait
lng of old Spain and of the Mexicans.
10 say the least of it the bull is not
criminal in his efforts to kill in such
cases. In prize fighting, each party to
1t Is equally brutal. The law, even
as 1t exists, never was designed to en-
courage such spectacles as was pre-
sented i'll this town last Sunday. If
we are a christian people, we should
live at least within the sanctions of a
sound morality and becoming human
ity. The law should not encourage
men in deeds of absolute brutality.

Artificial Maple Sugar.

Decoctions or extracts of the wood or
bark of trees are frequently used for
favoring sirups or sugars. Different
extracts differ in taste. The hickory
tree, it is said. yields an extract that will
impart the flavor Of the maple, and
Daily's method of producing artificial
maple sirup of sugar is as follows:
Make an extract of hickory bark or
wood by allowing water to percolate
through the same. The bark or wood
may be ground, or sawdust therefrom
used. Hot water may be used, or the
material boiled in water. The strength
of the extract may be increased by in
crease of the quantity Of the wood or
bark. To one gallon Of hot or boiling
sugar strip add, say, three tablespoon
fuls of the hickory extract. It is said
the effect Of the extract is to produce a
flavor that renders the sirup indistin-
guishable from genuine maple sugar. If
the sirup is boiled down, a sugar re-
sembling maple sugar in taste is pro-
duced.-London Public Opinion.

The conviction and sentences of the
White Caps Of Georgia, united with
the firm and fearless denial of Judge
Christman, Of Mississippi. to grant a
new trial to the White Cap outlaws,
Tyson and Shields, also convicted and
sentenced, meet with the approval OF
the Southern press and the commen-
dation of the Southern people. This
cutlawry against property and the
lives of citizens, that too through
brute force and under cover OF dark
ness, is repugnant to every feeling 0:
chivallO GUS bravery and the spirit of
honor and justice characteristic of the
true Southerner. The South needs NO
such defiance of peace, law and order.
Its Americanism will not tolerate it,
