If we have omitted announcing the name of any candidate they will please notify us and the matter will be attended to. Alex Wood, a Randolph county man, was charged with burning brush on Sunday, and on the trial was found “not guilty." There was no mail from Cincinnati north on the G. R. A I. road Tuesday, in consequence of a defective bridge somewhere south of Richmond. McKendry & Co. received a train load of bolts over the Narrow Guage this week, and will receive another over the G. R. A I. to-day, Friday. The K. of P. boys say that Bluffton can beat Decatur as to the quantity and quality of mud upon the streets. It is hard to make our people believe it though.

Christen A Goodsell left for Northern Michigan Wednesday. They contemplate purchasing a million feet of lumber for their lumber yard, sash door and blind factory. If you wish to have a “measely time’’ as Spoopendyko says, borrow all the trouble you can, and the evils to eome will be properly magnified so that you ean enjoy things. Ww. P.

February 28; Henry Zwick, Root township, March 2nd., and Henry Eix, Root township, March 3rd. The office of road superintendent will not have to go begging. In most of the townships there is considerable competition for the nomination. The office, if not the most important township office, is at least one of the most important.

The rain Sunday and Monday, and the snow blizzard Tuesday', has made intercourse over our railroads all but impossible. There is a srreat ?ry for wood in 60t'M><iu«tme 1 enabling the wood merchant to almost dictate his own terms. The Board of Health of Van Wert, 0., will not Issue permits to peddlers during the small pox scare, and the 7recommends the people of that county not to teed tramps, as a precaution against the spread of smallpox contagion. There has been considerable religtou. excitement at the Evangelical Church, at this place during the week accompanied by manifestations very similar to that which occurred among me MetMisW and Cwterinpd Ffmbyteriane, in Tennessee, at the beginning of this century. The New Orleans Minstrels played at Rover’s Hall, Monday night, to a crowded house. Their on the street was excellent, but as minstrels they are a failure. There was universal dissatisfaction with their minstrelsy, and a second night would pave given the<p » foil of e raptJ I seats. After the overwhelming editorial that appeared in the Journal last week, in imitation of the immortal 306. the neat thing in order will be far »»«» friends to vote him a brass medal. •When a man goes to do a thing he can never be certain whether he is going to make a fool or hero of himself, ppd Ed. has most certainly. The office of McKendry & Co. at this place was burglarised Sunday .light. An entrance was effected by prying open the west window.

McCann shipped three car loads of stock over the G. R. A I. R. R. to Cincinnati this week. George Steele, of Kirkland township, an old resident of Adams county, died on Tuesday evening. He was 93 years of age. Remember that Miss Eliza Young, will positively appear before the people on Saturday evening, Feb. 25, at Rover’s Hall. Last week, in speaking of the amount of brick laid last year by W. Meyers, contractor, we said 200,000, when we should have said 2,000,000, quite a difference. J. T. Archbold sold his residence last week to G. W. Luckey ; consideration. $1,300. Mr. Archbold is looking for a location for a brick yard convenient to tewn. Dr. R. A. Curran has sold his drug store to two gentlemen from Franklin, Ind., by the name of Brown and Darnell. They have rented the room now occupied by Jno. Eiting, and will move their store about the first of April.

The “Elder Brother” which was rendered at the Columbus Hall on Tuesday evening, was listened to by a large audience, with but little appreciation, on account of the players not having had time to study their parts sufficientJ yThe following named persons attended the banquet and ball at Bluffton, Thursday night, Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Phillips, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Place, Minnie Bobo, Bertha Holloway, Christine Miller, Lou Corbin, Bart Shirey, Jim Hoagland, Dick Dorwin, Mart McConnell, I. C. King, and Clint Cloud. All report a good time. An inspection of the Monroe street sewer, by direction of the Board of Trustees took place Tuesday. Andrew Krumacker, passed through the sewer from its outlet to the manhole near Third street, and found it in complete order, not a brick giving way. He says it is the neatest smoothest sewer inside he ever inspected. Martin Argo, Auditor of Allen county, who owns a splendid farm in the vicinity of Monroeville, appreciating the value of ridding his farm of stumps has recently removed all stumps from six inches upwards by blasting. If our farmers wish to do likewise they should consult Thomas Lynch A Co., at Currans’drug store, Decatur, Indi ana.

John Shrank, of Wilshire, 0., was in town last Saturday. He was around inspecting the big elm tree. John turned sadly away remarking, I declare it stands soliderthan ever. ' His interest in the big elm arises from the fact that be has a wager pending, the result of which depends upon the direction it falls. Most of the boys remember the circumstance. John may realise the principal some day, but the interest ia gone beyond a peradventure. Qvite A Surprise.—On Monday pvoning. of M * han Nannia Menefee, one of the teachers in the public school, returned to her boarding house, at Mr. J. McGonagle s, she was surprised and delighted to find her fellow.female teaohoH, some six or seven in number, assembled and ready to sit down and discuss with her a superb supper of oysters and other delectable fixings, in honor of the return as her 30th birth day wmWMwy. This will doubtless form one of the most pleasing and memorable episodes in Miss M’s life. About Mining. Mining has always been considered a risky business, but the grand results of the millions of gold and silver dug 6U f as the 8»»'h ha. fc'w*y a b (S " * temptation to the speculator to invest. Good things do not go a-begging, and profitable mines can, for the asking, get a|| the mopey «mw»*»vy for their development. In various places in this State we notice mining stocks are for sale. Plausible reasons forth« stock being on the market are cheap. But we have no particular mine in view to warn purchasers from making investments, but would call attention ■ tg ffsulls The production of gold last year >» 1 estimated at $31,869,686, of silver at ‘ 45.077.829, compared with the pro-

duction of the previous year, there is but little difference in the amount, but when the development of new mines is taken into consideration it shows a falling off. During 1881 there has been immense transactions in mining stocks, the aggregate of which it would be impossible to show. The Engineering and Mining Journal gives two lists of 190 companies, 143 of which paid no dividends in 1881, the transactions during the last year in their stocks aggregated $34,000,000. The successful mines stand as 47 to 190 unsuccessful. This is certainly not an encouraging showing to investors. This, however, does not show the millions vainly expended by private prospectors; it gives no idea of the rotting machinery and the thousands of holes sunk in the ground which never gave back a dollar of the amount expended in the vain attempt to develop them. The truth is, there is more money in selling mining stock than there is working mines, as those who invest will find to theircost. Their capital will simply be exchanged for experience, if not very careful where and how they invest. Report of Pleasant Mills Graded School for the month ending February 17, 1882 : UPPER GRADE.

Sad Suicide. Another name was added to the long list of Topeka suicides yesterday, under circumstances that make the affair a sad one indeed. For some time past Mr. Samuel Miller, an aged and respected resident of North Topeka, has been suffering from paralysis of the base of the brain, and at times afflicted with gloomy spells that would last for several days. For the past seven weeks until within a day or two, Mr. M. lias been confined to his bed, receiving every possible care at the hands of his wife and his son’s family, with whom the aged couple resided. Rev. J. C. Miller, his son, who is pastor of the First Presbyterian church of North Topeka, left the house about 2 o’colck, yeaterday afternoon, and returned about an hour later to learn of the sad death by his own band of his aged father, who had taken a rope that he had found in the stable, fastened it to a rafter and placing a noose around his neck jumped from a pile of hay and met his death through the horrible method of strangulation, the neck being unbroken. The body was first discovered by Mrs. J. C. Miller, who missed her husband's father from the house, and fearing something was wrong started to look for him and had gone but a few steps before the sight of his body through the open stable door, hanging from the rope, greeted her horrified eyes. Mrs. Miller immediately ran to a neighbor’s for help, but by the time she returned the body had been cut down by the mail carrier, George Clauser, who was passing along the street at the time. Life was entirely extinct. Death must have occurred almost instantly, and the poor old man, whose years had just numbered three score and ten, it is thought suffered but little after he swung himself from the pile of hay. He leaves an aged wife and besides the children mentioned two sons, one a resident of Illinois, and the other of Michigan, to mourn the sad death of a much loved father. The deed was undoubtedly done in a moment of mental aberration. The last remarks Mr. Miller made when he left the house after eating a hearty dinner were such as to lead those who heard, now that the deed has been committed, to think that he had determined to end his life in this manner. The family feel the terrible blow deeply, and all who read this sad story will certainly mourn with them and for them in their great distress. Coroner Gibson was sent for in the afternoon, but deemed an inquest unnecessary. The sons of the deceased have been telegraphed the sad tidings, and should they arrive in time, the remains will be buried Saturday afternoon.— Topeka Kan.) Capitol,Feb. 10.
