The exasperated young'hnuter thereupon shot the girl ’ Two tourists escaped the importunities if hackmen and other robbers at Niagara by occasionally working their fingers like deaf mutes, thus giving the ini presaion that talk would be thrown away .on them. — ♦ : —rA German geutlemarr, formely in the Hanoverian civil service, writes of the late King: ‘He had. when a boy. in. jured oae of his eyes. The other sympathetically affected, grew worse. Grafe (father of the still more celebrated son) in 1840 cut right through the optie nerve by an accidental slip of .the haud This toade the King utterly blind, and Grafe died rd'chagrin in a tragical man ner. The dreadful misfortune of blindness failed in any wise to embitter the King, who seems to have been the most extraordinary contrast to his odious father. I remember, when one day working with him; he sent me to my house for a paper. When I came back he was on his knees beside the sofa he lead been setting on, with his head resting ohliis folded hand', and his blind eyes turned upward, and sc deeply absorbed in praye 7 ' that he did not hear my entrance I quietly withdrew, and. returning, found him sitting :u the sofa, his whole counten ance beaming with calm joy.

Herne iteusa. • By C.ksah. A new self-propelling thresher has been parading our street* lately. The new res^nr? fcrta., Brannamann & Gobat comiueuces operation in a few days. Mrs. C- A. Wilson has been on the , sick list for several days, but is now ; improving. r Harvey Harruff was called to V in- ’ Chester a few days ago caused by the ‘ sickness of a sister. I H. Wiehand has purchased two new , dogs' How the coons are now to be ' caught Henry takes great pride in telling. Gottochalk & Aslibarger are making pn-perations to do extensive tiling butineas the coining season The prospect for a new grist will with us is very favorable. So we are told. J. A' Sprunger A Co., who Lave a large building in course of erection, are pushing the matter right along. Our late grand jury must have wanted to have heard from us in full, as all but a few of us were invited. Miss'EHa Darr, of Geneva, was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Will Sheets, on Sunday last. Quite a party of our young folks took dinner with Mr. and Mrs. George barlow, of Jefferson on last Sunday. Another has been added to the habpy family of Mr. and Mrs. Jacop Brown. This time a great big boy. What a terrible effect it was that the grand jury had on our Pave. He was almost scared (?) to death when be returned to ils. Mr. and Mrs C. Beers were visiting ' relatives in the vicinity of Bluffton not I long since. “After nearly a quarter of a century 1 of defeat,’’ writes a contemporary. . “the rejuvenated Democracy, renewed , iu youth and fresh blood and faithful ( to its creed, might see if it looked be j low the surface, signs of that same la- j tai dry rot in its antagonist which crip j pled the aute helium Demorcracy and drove it from power. And it might have added : An Administration at ; war with the chief men of its party in , Congress, a bitter party quarrel in al most every town large enough to have | a postoffice or located so as to need a . custom house, a league offensive and | defensive between the dominant party ■ :iud the repudiationists, the gigantic ■ corporations in the East and West and | i the carpet-baggers in the South, these 1 ' are rocks upon which a party far great | er and stronger than the Republican would go to pieces. In the Chicago Convention Mr. Conk Bug said; “The election belore us is the Austerlitx of American politics; while Mr Gwrbeld remarked The coming ‘fight is Our Thermopylae Just at this , juncture, however the fight is rather suggestive of Waterloo. —New York &«. Is hereby given that the County Board i of Rqualixistion' of Ada tos County, Indiana. . will meet at the room of the County Commissioners in the Court House at Decatur on the 161 h day of June. 1881, for the equalisation of the' valuation of the per- ' sonal property,moneys and arediia, as relumed by the Assessors, and to determine grievances.
