She, with her husband, moved to this state in 1850. Six children were born to them, four daughters and two sons, two children having preceded the mother to the better land. She had been an invalid and constant sufferer for many years, but haB borne her suffering without murmur or complaint. She will be sadly missed by a large circle of relatives and friends, but more especially will the loss be felt and the vacant chair noticed by her old and feeble companion, and her daughter Julia, who has so kindly, tenderly and patiently waited upon her mother, and attended her many wants. Funeral services were con ducted at the home of the deceased in Whitesville, by Rev. Airhart, at 1 m., Thursday, Dec. 7, 1809. Interment at the Harshbarger cemetery.

Dearest mother, thou hast left us Uere thy loss we deeply feel But'tis God that hath oereft1

Yet again we hope to meet thee, When the day of life Is fled Then In heaven with joy to greet thee,

Where no farewell tear is shed.

THE LAMP EXPLODED.

Little Fraukie Butcher Terribly Hurried Last Monday at the) Family Home.

Last Monday at the home of Frank Butcher, 210 west Spring street, occurred quite a distressing accident. The twelve year old daughter of the family, Prankie, started to remove a coal oil lamp from one room to the other, and as a result of some defect, either in the oil or lamp, an explosion occurred. Instantly the child was wrapped in ilamea and her terrified cries simply aroused the neighborhood Mrs. Butcher rushed to her child's assistance and was possessed of sufficient presence of mind toamother the ilimes with a blanket. In doing this, bow her hands and arms were sadly burned. The child suffered some terrible and very painful, although it is thought, not fatal burns. From her waist up she is simply o, mass of blisters, her face and arms suffering particularly. Her hair and eyebrows were burned off, but her sight is not impaired. That she'escaped death is remarkable, and can ,be attributed only to the prompt action of her mother.

Luie-BajleM.

At 4 o'clock on Monday afternoon at his residence on Water street, Rev. Wallace Runyan united in marriage Ur. George H. Luse and Miss Effie Bayless, both of this city. Both these young people are well known and very popular in Orawfordsville, the groom being the younger son of F. T, Luse, and the fair bride the only daughter of the late Bige Bayless, the liveryman. Mr. and Mrs. Luae left on the evening train for Indianapolis, where Mr. Luse is in business, and will in future be at home at their cottage on west St. Clair street, in that city. Their many friends unite in wishing them along and happy wedded life.

TEACHERS CAN-DRAW PAY

WLIEN School* AM OIOIMMI ~11 niWa«e.

Attorney-General Taylor has received a number of lettersjfrom teachers throughout the state for au opinion as to whether they can collect wages for the time a school is closed by the board of health on( account[of the prevalence of diseases. 'The opinion which the attorney-general gives iu these cases is: 00? "Unless the trustee makes a contract with the teacher exempting him from liability in case the school board orders the school closed, ithe teachers are entitled to compensation for such time. The trustee, however, may extend the school year for a term equal to tho time of such closing, and the teachers would then probably be required to teach for such extended period under their contracts unless tho contracts were so drawn as to prevent this."

TOUCHED FOR TEN-

How Kxalted Knler Harney Wan Divorced From IIIH Coin—A Had Man Hron^ht to Hook.

The following special from Shelbyville will be road with interest in Orawfordsville: "The arrest of B. Dahlen, of In dianapolis, on the charge of securing money from members of secret orderB in this city, is attracting attention from various places. This morning letters were received from two firms in Indianapolis, requesting that Dahlen be held. One of the houses Bays that goods were sold to Dahlen on the installment plan to furnish his home and that he resold them. Another charges him with disposing of a buggy that did not beiong to him. Columbus, O., wanta him, and also Oedar Rapids, la. It is now known that Dahlen was chef of the Wallahalla, Indianapolis, for sgme time. He still claims to be an Odd Fellow in good standing in Center lodge, Indianapolis, notwithstanding a letter from the secretary says he has been expelled."

The versatile and brotherly Mr. Dahlen is well known here and last summer spent quite a while here claiming that he was negotiating for the purchase of the RobbinB house. He aho claimed membership in several of the secret societies and had all the words and signs down fine, especially the sign of distresB. Among the lodges in which he claimed membership was the order of Elks, which had just been established here, He hunted up Exalted Ruler George Harney and taking hold of bis branching antlers pulled them down until he could softly whisper in his ear that a draft he was expecting had failed to arrive. Ten plunks would greatly relieve the pressure and in due season would be returned. Mr. Dahlen was accoino dated and left town. He has not since been seen here and Mr. Harney hasn't ns yet banked that ten.

Capt. Talbot'n Opinion.

Capt. H. H. Talbot, a member of the county council, is decidedly In favor of voting machines because he thinks they insure absolute accuracy and because they would prevent all contests and trouble after the election iB over. "All this trouble in Kentucky," said the captain, "would have been avoided if voting machines had been used. I have not consulted with other members of the council but am satisfied that they would willingly make an appropriation for them if the commissioners would make the proper requisition,"

A Momentous nentton.

The momentous question now agitating the hearts of the local Democracy is, shall invitations to the Jackson day banquet be issued? Some strongly agitate doing so in order to shut out questionable characters and to give the management some idea of the size of the crowd to be handled, the Robbins house being able) to accommodate a limited number. Others oppose the issuance of invitations on the ground that every mother'sison of a Democrat not invited would take the slight as a personal insult.
