Gbokge Eliot, the novi list, is dead. —Thseditor of the Bluffton Chronide thinks G AitriLLOhas been vindicated. What a wondeiful conception he has •f that word. —R. K. Scott, of Napoleon, Ohio, and at one time provisional governor of South Carolina, shot a young drug clerk in Napoleon la.-.t Friday morning. Scott was taken to Defiance and iodged-iu jail. —Vignai x, Frenchman, beat SlosBON, Altieri-an, in a billiard inajch played at the Grand Hotel, Paris, last week. The former scored 4.000 points while the latter scored 3,961. M. Gajibetta and many other notables, including three thousand lesser spectators witnessed the game. Vignauxis now champion billiardist of the worlu. —A shocking tragedy occurred at Bethlehem, Penn., last Monday morning at one o'clock. The victims of this most horrible double murder were Jacob Geogls and his wild Annie. The perpetrator was- a young man boarding with the GeOGLE family, by the name of Joseph Snider. The particulars arc these : Snider wanted to marry the eldest daughter of Geogle’s, but met with strong opposition. Sunday night he entered the bed room of the daughter and endeavored to accomplish a hellish purpose on the object of his villainous heart. Failing in this he locked the children in their room up-stairs and proceeded to the sleeping apartment of the Geogles. Whils the latter were sh epng Joseph Snider almost severed their heads from their bodies with an ax. He then aroused the neighbors ar.l told them of the tragedy, saying four burglars c mmitted the deed. At six in the morning evidence - as so strong against him that be cons essed and was taken by the infuriated crowd and

hanged to a tree in the yard. VEXIVA GLEAAIAUS. . BV BVS-TI-CVS. I Don't forget to swear off on Satur- . day. David Palm is now doing business ] on the Democratic corner. , VV. C.

Nelson is visiting among us during a protracted iiln'-s of his right i hand. 1 Several poplar logs were brought to < North Bros.’ mill last week, which, we < understand, are the first that has ever , been brought to Geneva. < IV. M. Heed sold over two hundred 1 pounds of candy on Christmas, and yet i the crowd did not get ’.veet-—on candy.

ikbout ai< amusing event as we ever saw was the man of Meuter and his lady dashing through town in a cutter on Ci.riLast Friday there were twenty-eight ear-loads of grain waiting for shipment in Geneva. The dince at Ceylon, Christmas, would have been boss had not the most of the boys got very - tired'’ before they had danced very long. Maybe you think it isn’t an agrocable surprise when a fellow has been fasting for twelve to twenty-four hours and several of the neighbors step in with two or three cans of oysters and “aich.” That is the way they treated us Christmas night, and we didn’t get ■tad eitl-r. Bony Ford is ready now to buy five hundred dollars' worth of Dr. Clark's patent medieine. He flared’em in the U. S. Court last week. David Hodiseil and family’ spent Christmas among relnt : ves and friends in Jay county. The Caylon Literary Society meets every Thursday evening.

Professor Jones and lady assisted in masticating a Christmas t.J.cy at Monroeville.

There are now thirty-two perrons who are carrying insurance in the Greenville Association that got their mail at the Geneva postoffice. Our town council Las appointed A. .J.

There was a new M Griff in t>wn last week whom they called Flapp. which makes three so far whose name commences with V viz : Flopp, Hupp •nd Flap p.

will here say that .her prayer is, may ’ they live long and prosper, and when their earthly pilgrimage is ended may they be given one of those mansions that He has prepared for all those that are free from sin. Smith Peterson was in town on Monday negotiating with C. B. Tharp for : a span of mules—that is, 1 mean the s one that gains the ease may get them by ths time they get through. G. W. Bryan left for Delaware coun ■ ty Monday morning in response a tele- • gram he received on Saturday stating s that his eldest sister had just died. A reward is offered for the apprehension and conviction of the parties who, ’> on the night of the 23d of December, r did willfully, mischieveously, premedi- : tated and with malice aforethought, ’ in a rude and insolent manner, without 1 giving due notice, spring upon an innocent, law abiding citizen with intent to spill, and did spill, the water which he had and held in his right hand, thereby t causing a dampness to come over him, which would not have occurred had not the water come in contact with his trousers, causing him to feel like he had— fell in the river. For further particulars call on or address the oyster and game depot, Geneva, Ind. G. W. Bucker, who lives three miles east of town, lost his wife 011 Monday of lung disease. JOHY FETUHSO.V. The young man who bore the above name was born three miles cast of Decatur, on February 16. 1557. His father and mother, Isaac Peterson and wife, still reside on the home place, and in the house from which they sent their beloved boy to the district school ; — No. 1, St. Mary's township—until he attained his nineteenth year. He then commenced teaching in Jefferson township, this county. In his twentieth year he taught the Star school in Union township. In his twenty-first year he taught the Steele school, in Washington township. Soon after closing this school his health began to fail him, and he went to Colorado hoping to drive from his body the health destroying sapper which was fast eating its way to his vitals. Finding employment there as a hotel clerk, he remained until the spring of '7B, when he returned to this county much improved in health, he thought. He re- ■ turned to the west in the following ] fall, and engaged in his former voca- 1 tion. Being offered a situation in a | school, he learned the Spanish lan- 1 guage in order to accept the place, and j again entered the school room. He I left this employment and went to Sil- i ver city. New Mexico, in 1879, and ' from that time cn his letters took a ■ sadder turn. He evidently felt the approach of Death. He longed for his associates, and mourned that death 1 was to meet him so far from home and the endearing scenes of youth. From Silver City, the wanderer went ■ into Arizona, and there, thousands of miles from all of his circle of Adams county friends, the messenger of 1 death met and took off one of the best , young men that this county ever pro- • dueed. Kind, gentle, tender, true, no ' one who knew can help but mourn him. Gov. Lew. Wallace, who wrote the sad ;

news to the bereaved parents confirmed the belief that John Peterson’s wes- : tern life was but a continuation of the grand one so truly begun in this country. Amebicus. I Decatur.
