Dehorning Young Calves.

The most practical and satisfactory
method Of dehorning n calf when quite
young Is to remove the button-hke,
semi-horny substance with an instru.
ment known as the trephine, which ID
constructed for the purpose OF cutting
out circular sections of bone without
injury to the underlying soft tissues,
BY this method the horn Is removed
with it's foundation and the brain Is
denuded of its bony covering for short
period, but no horny excrescence VIII
appear to disfgure the head of the ma.
tured animal as may happen when
other methods are used and the opening
caused by the trephine will become OBJ
liberated in a few days

The Equitable b. & l.. A.

We noticed a week ago that State In
spectors were here investigating the af.
fairs of the Equitable Building and Loan
Association. From Columbus we get
the following advices:
The report of the investigation of the
Equitable Building and Loan Company,
of Hillsboro, recently made by Deputy
Inspector Haymaker and A. j. Duncan,
has been filed in the State Insurance De.
partment. From the report it appears
that J. s. Ellifritz, the Secretary of the
company, left Hillsboro about February
Is, disappeared in Chicago two days
later and has not been heard of since
that time.
The investigation discloses that he was
short in his accounts with the Equitable
Building and Loan Company, to the sum
of S., ,S39.O7. Most of the assests Of the
company consisted OF loans made on
personal security only, and on these
items the company suffered further
loss of $4, ,1O5.51. The Directors had en-.
tirely neglected to attend to the business
of the company or to require bond OF
the Secretary. The minute book or
record of the proceedings of the board
cannot be found. The assests considered
good amount to but $1l, ,974 Oh, and il
will require an assessment of "a pei
cent. to make good the losses.

Frank Pearce, which occurred at her
late home in New Petersburg, O., March
l5, 1894. For some time past she has
been afflicted with lung trouble which
gradually grew worse, until on the
morning of the 10Th she happily sank
into the arms OF Jesus, redeemed sou
Sallie, as she was familiarly called, wa
consistent member of the Methods
Church, and great worker in the Sab
bath School, and until disease fastened
itself too firmly upon her, she was found
present with her class of little boys who
will ever cherish hermemory. She was
a favorite in social circles by reason of
her bright and amiable qualities. We
don't mourn as those who have no hope,
for we feel that our loss is heavens gain.

The Hibben Case.

Judge Alternately, of Circleville, occu.
pied the bench in the Common Pleas
Court last week in the Stockwell-Hib
ben Case. The jury was empanelled on
Tuesday and was composed of the best
representative citizens of Highland
county. The testimony closed Thurs.
day morning and the case went to the
jury just before noon. No one express,
ed surprise when few minutes after
dinner it was announced that the jury
had agreed. The,verdict " as generally
anticipated and when Clerk Walker
read the words mot guilty." it was an
occasion of general hand shaking with
the defendant and congratulations upon
his vindication from such foul charge.
Those who are best acquainted with Mr.
Hibben, rejoice in his complete triumph
over the instigators of such baseless
charge. No man perhaps in our com
munity, to greater degree, enjoys the
confidence and respect OF his fellowmen
than Mr.. Hibben, and the verdict OF the
Jury makes conclusive the claim that
the whole prosecution was the scheme
of an artful and designing person to
drag down and defame an upright, hon,
est and Christian gentlemen, because he
would not respond to her black. mailing
demands. -
