Hugh Dorwin, the well known character who was declared insane last week, was taken to the hospital at Richmond Thursday. He was cared for on the trip by James Ward and George Haefling.

Arnold and Amos Danney we learn that the republicans of Blue Creek township will hold a township convention at the Kinsey school house on April 14.

Anthony Spuller, one of the old settlers of Union township and a farmer well known all over the county died at his home Tuesday evening of yellow jaundice, after an illness of several days. He was born in Germany, March 20, 1831,-and was sixtynine years and one week of age. His face has been a familiar one about here on market days for years and he will be greatly missed, not only by his relatives but by his large number of friends and acquaintances. He was the father of Mrs. John Stegmeyer, Mrs. John Starost and Mrs. Barney Hackman, of this city.’ Rev. Father Wilkins conducted the funeral services from the St. Marys Catholic church at nine o’clock this morning and the body was interred in the beautiful St. Joseph cemetery just west of the city.

Two papers for one dollar. “A newspaper man feels like getting out in the back alley and kicking himself, ’ says an exchange, “when he has just finished a glowing write-up of some one of his town's business institutions, and drops in to see how he likes it, and finds the favored one’s office desk loaded with stationery printed by some out of town print shoo. The same individual is loud in his protestations against the citizen who sends out of town for his goods, and feels highly indignant at the paper man if he doesn't roast the individual who could dare to trade elsewhere. Mrs. Daniel Weldy died at her home in Kirkland township, four miles west of thiscity,at an early hour Tuesday morning. She had been a sufferer from dropsy and chronic asthma for years and had been confined to the house constantly for several months. Mrs. Weldy has been a resident of the county for many years. Her maiden name was Hester Blosser and she was born in Fayette county, Pennsylvania, April 8, 1820. She removed with her parents to Fairfield county, Ohio, in 1830, and was here reared. She was married to Eli Beery in 1840 and to them were born fourteen children, several of whom have already been called to their reward. She was married to Daniel Weldy August 22, 1880. The funeral services will be held from the Beery church this morning at ten o’clock. Last year the “kissing bug” occupied a very prominent place in the newspapers and was more talked about than any bug known to bugdom. But the indications now are that the kissing bug will soon be obliged to retire to the background and be content to take his place along with bed bugs, potato bugs, stink bugs and the rest of the innumerable throng. The new candidate for popular favor is called the nose bug. He has a scientific name also, but you don’t have to pronounce it. Just look at it and pass on. Hese it is: “Proboscidium novispaniolum.” From all reports this P. N. is a son-of-a-gun. The kissing bug was no slouch, but he wasn’t in it, compared to the nose bug. The latter is a product of New Mexico, and when one of them locates on the end of your nose he is there to stay until he can gorge his stomach with red gore. When he lights he sinks his claws into the flesh of the nose and then inserts his suction pump and proceeds to fill up. He is noctural in his habits, and always seeks a victim in the dead of the night. After the nose bug has pumped a nose dry, that prominent facial ornament becomes exceedingly ornamental. In fact the most luminous drug store probosis you have ever seen is as much out-classed by it as is the tallow dip by a modern sixteen candle incandescent electric light, and so sore.
