Tho testimony given against DR.
Stathers, Superintendent of the
Weston Insane Asylum, is most
revolving and damaging and stamps
him as a libertine of the deepest
black. He deserves to be dismissed
and punished, but the Committee
is not there for that purpose, and
he will be acquitted, for to convict
him would hurt the Republican
party.

From different parts Of the ooun.

From different parts of the coun-
ty we hear reports coming up in
regard to school teachers buying
themselves winter jobs, through
the payment of certain paltry
Gums of money to one or more
school trustees. 1t is shame
that any trustee should allow him
self to be thus bought and sold, and
there is no punishment too severe
for the school teacher who will SO
prostitute the dignity of his pro-
fession, as to proffer a bribe for
position. That there are such hap
penings there is no question of
doubt. We believe there have
been parties in this county indicted
in this county for such offenses,
and should be madein every known
case. Another thing we are told
upon good information, that in too
many cases, teachers get the sup
port of a school trustee, by prom
ising to board with him for the
winter. Such abuses of our free
school system should not be allowed
to exist for moment and when.
ever u case of the kind happens and
the Daily Register finds it out. we
propose tojnot only publish it but
prosecute it in the courts to the ex-
ltent of the law.

Rev. Richard Ellis don't come
to town very often but was on the
streets of our city yesterday among
his friends. 1t was his son George
who was hung at Ashland, Ky, a
few years ago, it will be remember
ed for murder, having been mixed
up in kentucky feud. AS the
years go by and matters are being
futherr brought to light. the more
certain it appears that George was
an innocent boy. 1t WAS simply
another one of those numerous
cases in which mans too liberal
use of his tongue got him into
serious trouble. George was a
good and industrious boy, used to
live and work here in this county,
where he was we'll known. He has
friends here in town who are GER
tain it was because he was fright
ened into matters of saying and
talking things he didn't know any
thing about, that put him to the
gallows. Had he only have had
friends by him to counsel with at
the beginning, he would have been
cleared.

known young men of Henderson,
were arrested and taken before
Squire Edwards charged with hay-
ing entered the enclosed lands of
Miss Lizzie Smith, over on that
side of the river and tearing up
some of the floor of the old brick
and tile works. Two of the boys
waived hearing and gave bond to
answer appearance at next term of
Court, while Casio went to Jail
with view to having hearing to-
day some time. tbs likely he will
give bond also. The young men,
as we understand it, disclaim any
criminal intent in doing what they
did, but say they were after a rab-
bit that ran under the floor.

Speaking of natural gas explos-
ions our reporter yesterday met up
with Capt, Newton Hall who re-
sides just opposite Hartford City
in Ohio, and keeps ferry at that
place. The Captain was born and
reared near Great Bend, and recalls
wildly an explosion similar to the
ono that happened at Letart last
Saturday night, which occurred at
Old Town Island sixty-one years
ago. 1t happened at night about
10 O'Clock, and the report was heard
for miles around. The gas ignited
and the wind blowing carried the
flames up Old Town creek for a
great distance, scorching the trees.
The flames burned for some fifteen
minutes, were higher than the
banks and lit up the valley for a
distance to be seen miles away.
The gas made a whistling noise
and continued to flow for some
time. The scene was visited by
hundreds of people who came out
of curiosity to see the place. Many
persons were frightened and feared
the world was coming to an end.
For several years the gas continued
to flow at intervals, as the older
people near there we'll remember.
Mr.. Hall is 73 years of age and re-
members the incident we'll.
S. Fl. Haynes, of the firm of e.

said to be the finest in that town.

moves from Syracuse to the Thorn

DOG BITTEN.

Was Little Lee Dashncr-And
Old Noble Goes to Fertilizer.
Yesterday afternoon Little Lee
Dashner, aged about thirteen years,
met with very unfortunate and
painful accident at the Mountain
State Brick and Tile Works. He
had just taken. dinner out to his
brother, who is employed at the
works. and was sitting by playing
with little Fritzie Hess and others,
when old Noble, bird dog belong
ing to Capt. Hess, and which was
mingling with them, fiercely and
unexpectedly turned on him, biting
him in the right check of his face,
making very ugly wound and lay
ing the flesh bare to the bone, and
otherwise lacerating his face in a
horrible manner. DIR. A. r. Bar
bee was summoned and dressed the
wounds. While he does not re-
gard the little fellows condition
serious, yet the wounds are painful
and will be some time in healing.
This morning he is resting easily
as could be expected. The dog
was not known to be vicious one
but on the contrary was supposed
to be clever. 1t is supposed some
one pulled his tail or did some-
thing to anger him, but be this as
it may, old Noble won't bite any
more children, for he was soon dis
patched to that bourne whence all
good fertilizer comes.
