On Wednesday night the tool house on the premises of Joseph Morgan, ho owns the Howard Smith farm just west of the city, was burned to the foundation.

The newspapers of this town may not be up to the high standard demanded by a few preachers. They might be more fanatical, and yet at the same time possess no more virtue. They might be better, and so might tho morals of the community. A newspaper is but a reHex of the sentiment of the people which compose its field. And yet the newspapers of this city are ahead of the morals of the community and their largest influence is always for the good.

On next Tuesday night, March Gen. Low Wallace will deliver a lecture at Music Hall on "Mexico anil The Mexicans."'

'The fauio of the lecturer as auther, ex-soldier and statesman, alone, should fill the hall. The cause is a unost betiificent one. The price of admission has been placed at 25 cents.

An indignant ).tax payor wants to know "why in thunder the city council made the oflice of city engiceer a salaried position at $000 per year.'We give it up. There are many others who would like to have the same question answered. We will say by way of palliatior, however, that the salary has since been reduced to $800 per year and still it is looked upon as a sinecure position. There are doubtless capable men who would do all the work required of the office for half that anaount.

Mr. Whiteside, although a very modest youug man, has that reasonable confidence in his own ability which is assuredly one of the first stepping stones to success, consequently he will present a sturdy conception of no less a character than "Hauilet," a conception which haa won for the talented young actor unstinted praise from pena of critics and scholars the country over.

A $10,0)0 Damace Suit Aeainst The Bitr Feur Company. On the evening of the 10th of last December, Blanche, wife of Milton llarshbarger of Walnut township, alighted from tho east bound passenger train of the Big Four at Now Ross, which reaches thore shortly before o'clock in the evening. She, in company with another lady, was returning from this city. That afternoon a freight train crew had unloaded a pile of lumber on the platform. The night was dark and the faint rays from the conductor's lauteru only seemed to dazzlo the visien instead of lightening up the blackness. The coach from which Mrs. llarshbarger alighted stopped immediately opposite the pile of lumber on tho platform. In starting to walk away Mrs. llarshbarger fell over the lumber and in some way caught her foot and wrenched it in such a manner as to render her a cripple for life. The attending physician thinkB the leaders controlling the point of the foot were severed, as 6he has no control of that part of the foot whatever. It is perfectly lifeless. Mrs. llarshbarger is 20 years of age and the accident, it is said, will make her a cripple for the reat of her life. It is claimed her nervous system has also been badly impared by the accident. .I'hereffTO i: rough her attorneys Johnson A- Joh son she haB brought suit in circuit curt against tho railroad company and places her damages at SH',000. Au ellort had been made before tho suit was tiled to compromise with tho company, but wiinout success.

The out come of the suit will be awaited with interest. The complaint sets forth negligence on the part or the company in not keeping their platform clearod of all obstructions as provided by law.

Base Ingratitude.

It is charity wasted when bestowed on the majority of tramps roving about the country. Gratitude is an unknown virtue to them. Two sneaking rascals called at a lady's house, corner of Walnut and Jefferson streets, Tuesday and asked for something to eat. Their wishes were complied with. Then they called for a drink of water, which was also given them. 'The woman thon closet! the dooi and the shy visitors made their exit through the back yard. It is quite likely they hud an eye on the clothes lino all the while, as several pairs of hose ware missed immediately after their departure. The police were notified and Officer Grimes soon had them under arrest. The missing hosiery was found in their pockets. About twentyfour hours a day on a 6tono pile for a mouth would make such fellows a littio more grateful, perhaps.

Death of Taylor Buffington. Another octogenarian and respected citizen is removed from our midst in tho death of Taylor Buflington, which occurred at the family residence on Chestnut street about 1:30 o'clock Tuesday morning. Had ho lived until the 20th of this month he would havo been SI years of age. Death resulted from a relapse of la grippe. Mr. BufliBgton carao to this city from Kentucky in 1852. He was a moaiber of First Presbyterian church, had been an Odd Fellow for over 40 years and that order had charge of the burial service. Mr. Buffington had a happy disposition, and always jovial, was the life of his lodge and known everywhere as a great story teller. He will be missed.
