The Democrats in Congress have selected MT. Jaeaes D. Richardson, of Tennessee, for the minority lead ership. The final contest was be- sveen Richardson and DeArmond, of Missouri, the former receiving 90 votes and ahe latter AT on the sixth and final ballot. h the Graphic's opinion the best possible selection aas been made. Mir Richarsor is the ablest pafliamentarian the Democrats have in Congress-, in addition to which he is a sagacious and conservative member, and his leadership will therefore be devoid of errors aud will be safe and relia- ble In these trying and delicate times, when So much depends upon ebe course to be pursued by the Democrats ia the present Congress, Mir Richardson Is selection for the leadership is very wise one.

Justice Fred Beck. of Worthington.
has field through which fresh and
never failing stream of water passes.
At considerable expense and labor he
made large fish pond, and stocked it
With German carp. In the proper sea
the fish were used as food. and in the
winter season he sold the zee from the
pond. This winter ne had sold this ice,
and few days ago on going out TO MS
pond number OF fish could be seen
tightly lodged close against the under
side of the transparent ice. They
counted them AMI found ninety-six.
Breaking the ice, some of the ish were
taken out and examined, when it was
discovered they had been poisoned.
Every fish in the pond, and there were
over five hundred, were dead, all pois-
oned. And this was not all OF course
the water was also poisoned, and there
fore the ice was not fit for use.

Bleeding profusely, Ambros sought ref
uge behind a tree and fred. wounding
the eagle. This increased its ferocity
and it fought more savagely than be-
fore. Ambros. beating it with his gun

had claws 81 inches long.

band is suing for breach of promise be-

Local men in probably the best
position to know say there is no foun-
dation for the report of the removal of
Westminster college of the L. P
church from New Wilmington, Law
renee Co. If however such move is
contemplated by the college people,
Butler should make a strong bid for it
and would no doubt be successful in:
bringing the college here. DR.. Fergu-
son, the president, is former pastor OF.
the local U. P church and there is no.
stronger United Presbyterian commun--
ity in Western Pennsylvania, than But
Ter. There is every reason to believe
that if DR. Ferguson moves his college
at all, the proper effort would induce
him to bring it to Butler.

he made few remarks. 1t is always
customary to give the condemned man
the last word, and on this occasion his
last word was a bit of advice and eau
ton. He told his listeners that if I here
were any friends of his present on this
Ito HIM occasion, and they
proposed following his remains to the
grave, he would suggest that during
the services at the grave-side they
would not remove their hats for fear of
the danger of catching pneumonia.
Wasn't that philanthropist?

this service Forester tears card, the
Jack of clubs, in half, gives one half

with the remark that whenever Austin
requires his (Forrester's) help, he has
cnly to present the scrap of card. How
Austin does present the half of the IA
tai card to FORESTER in London, after
ward, and how it is the means of saw

credit for the amount paid. To learn
about this send to JAMES VICKS Sons,
of Rochester, n. Y, who agree to do
this in their Guide The Golden
Wedding edition of Vick's Garden and
Floral Guide is certainly an artistic
work, with its twenty-four pages litho-
graphed in colors, and nearly one hun
dred more pages filed with handsome
half-tone illustrations, photographed
from Flowers, Fruits, Vegetables and
homes
While this Guide is really too expen-
sive to give away. they give it with a
Due Bill for 25 cents worth of seeds foI
only Is cents. Another new feature is
the doing away with the old packet OF
Vegetable Seeds and stating the quan
tity in each case, the buyer getting
more for his money.
