JAMES T. ONSTOTT GOES SOUTH FOB FIVE YEARS.

All on Accoant of Driving Away Four Deal or Cattle lielougiug to Sam Busseli —Has Bee a There Before.

In November, James T. Onstott, it seems, went to the farm of Sam Busseli near Bussell's Corner, aud drove away four head of fine cattle, taking them to Anderson, where he disposed of them at a nominal figure, but the police there hart been advised of the theft and James was soon in durance vile. He was brought bere and put in tf.il to await trial, and when his case was illed this morning he plead guilty to the charge of stealing, and it was only a matter of a moojeut when his honor, Judge Offutt, read about as follows: The court will fine you the sum of $25, five years in the prison South, and a ^disfranchise of five years.

It did not seem r,o worry the prisoner in the least, as he is getting used io it, having been sent up once before for forgery, and once for horse stealing, but the latter is only rumour. It is to be hoped that this trip will teach him a lesson that he will not soon forget, and when he returns after hi* five years sojourn, he will bi a better citizen.

Our Prosperity.

It is every day that some stranger stops in our city and commends us on the improvements bei ig made by oar people, and we have le .rued to believe that no town in Iudiaru with an equal population Is doing more improving than Greenfield. While we have never enjoyed what is called by "Mushron" a bo3m, yet we have steadily increased in both business and building uatil novv we cani claim a town that is a credit to the state.

During the past year there have been issued by Mayor Duncan seventy permits for the erection of new buildings at a cost of $276,475.

In addition to this he has issued improvement permits to thirty-nine parties at a cost of $2,742, which makes a grand total for one year of $279,217.

In the early spring we anticipate a big building business in Greenfield, and, in fact, several fine buildings are now in the hands of the architects, among which is a handsome new Methodist church, which will cost not less than $25,000.

Let all lend a helping hand, and Jyou will be surprised in a few years to see the prosperity to which Greenfield has grown.

There were ten streets built in this city under tha Barrett law, and only one, Lincoln, have the residents paid their assessments, which causes city treasurer Smith to kick, as he has the collecting to do. He informed us Tuesday, that unless the property owners on the remainder of the streets came forward and cracked down, he would be compelled to advertise and sell the property.

The commonplaces of every day criticism seem tame and stale, when its subject is a genius so subtle, delicate and rare, as that of this lovely and gifted lady. Miss Coombs appeals to every better emotion of the human heart woman's tenderness, seif-abnegation, nobis impulses and pure affection have never, within our memory, found an interpreter so faithful and true.—Sidney, (Australia) News. Miss Coombs will appear at Masonic Hall next Monday night.

Dr. O. A. Collins, of ^Mohawk, held a post mortem on the remains of James M. Cole, an old citizen and soldier of Center township, who lived near Mohawk, on Friday of last week, in the presence of Drs. Black and Griffin, of Greenfield, and Drs Alford and Hervey, of Fortville, and Drs. Nichols and True, of Mohawk. Mr. Cole was a long sufferer and his case baffled Dr. Collins and pother physicians who had been called in to see him. The examination demonstrated quite a good deal to the cause of medicine,'and welfare of the living.

There was a quiet but beautiful wedding Tuesday night at the residence of County Clerk Sample, the contracting parties being Harry Niles, aged |SO, and Miss Mollie Staley, aged 17, both of Charlottesville, Rev. Nethercutt, of this city, officiating. The contracting parties both being und«r age, a note to the clerk from the parents of both parties was required, which was readily furnished, "showing that "all was well," and then our hospitable clerk tendered his parlors,* where the very impressive ceremony, known to the Methodist church, was performed. Harry is a Republican, and we more than wish him success.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cur3 is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constiteitional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfases of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its

Resolutions of Condolence.

Castle Hall, ^Eureka Lodge, No. 20, K. of P. GREENFIELD, Ind., Nov. 19, '95^

WHEREAS, It has pleased the Great God, the creator and protector of all things, to enter the portals of our Castle Hall and claim as his victim our worthy and beloved brother knight, Marion Forgey, thereby reminding us that life is short in our earthly career, filled with the charge of pains, sufferings, sorrows and tears, and that death is sure, Death, like a thief.in the night, steals upon us and we know not wnan, but at a tim3 by us least expected. We should all remember that "we are born to die."

WHEREAS, We realize that a link in the Golden Chain that extends from heaven to earth, linking friendship and brotherly love together, has been broken, but in our memory he still lives.

Resolved, That we deeply mourn the loss of our beloved brother, but we bow in humble submission to the will of God, our Father, who does all things well and for the best, and who, in his infinite wisdom, it has pleased to remove our beloved Brother from our midst.

Resolved, That, though gone from his earthly career to his reward, may our memories be filled with the many honors and virtues our Brother possessed, and may he ever be remembered as one that was always true to his views, and whose heart was filfcd with friendship, charity and benevolence always ready to do his part in this life.

The family will please accept our sincere sympathy in their sad bereavement. In this dark and lonely world, may you put your trust in Him who is the Guide and Savior of all mankind, and may the Lord bless and sustain you is our preyers.

Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the Lodge, a copy tendered to the family of our departed Brother, and that they be published in the papers of Greenfield.

GOLD EATING WATER

SPARKLING LIQUID CHARGED WITH CYANIDE OF POTASSIUM.

Millions In the Yellow Metal Recovered by Percolation—A Simple bat Interesting Process, With Results Which Are

Nothing Less Than Marvelous.

It is not generally known, even in California, that millions of dollars in glittering gold are annually taken from rude heaps of base looking quartz by the gentle flowing of crystal water over huge piles of broken rocks that contain the precious metal, but such is the fact. "The process of robbing the earth of its gold has now been reduced to such a fine point," said Professor Price, "that the gentle flowing of water over the ore gleans it of its golden treasures, and this works well in cases where the old chloride and other methods are not so useful.''

But the water of which Professor Price spoke is not so pure as it looks, though the eye could never distinguish it from that which is dipped by the old oaken bucket from a well in the deep tangled wildwood. The water used by miners in bringing gold from piles of mineral bearing quartz is charged with a simple chemical which has the potency to dissolve gold and hold it in solution. In truth, the sparkling liquid which flows over hundreds of tons of quartz, trickles through the mines and seeks its level, laden with gold, is charged with a deadly poison, cyanide of potassium, a drug which ferrets out the minutest particles of the yellow metal, dissolves them aud brings the precious burden to the vats for conversion into refined gold again.

The cyanide process is as noiseless and unerring as the laws of gravitation, doing its work as quietly as "the majestic dance of the hours," unhindered by darkness or weather, by disasters of field or flood.

The state mining bureau of California was one of the first in the United States to investigate the merits of the cyanide process, and since the earliest investigations the method has found extensive application. It is so interesting that its results are nothing less than marvelous. This method of extracting both gold and silver from ores is based on the fact that even a very weak solution of cyanide of potassium dissolves gold and silver, forming respectively "auro potassic cyanide" and "argento-potassic cyanide," in the language of the chemists.

This interesting process consists of treating the ores with a weak solution of potassium cyanide, usually by allowing the solution to percolate through the ore, or by agitating a mixture of the ore and solution. When this part of the operation is completed, the solution is separated from the solid material, and the gold and silver are precipitated in a metallic form. The process is modern in its application, though it has long been known that cyanide of potassium would "eat gold. During the last five years, however, the process has been introduced into almost every geldfield in Calfornia and elsewhere, and more than $20,000,000 have been recovered by the gentle flowing of waters charged with the magical chemical over heaps of ore. Aside from the thoroughness of the permeating water method, its economy is a marked feature in mining. It is in great favor with the gold mining companies of New Zealand and at Johannesburg, Africa, as well as in California.

One of the most advantageous features of the cyanide method is that it can be applied to many gold and silver ores generally called "rebellious" or "refractory." The rebellious ore is placed in a vat for percolation, and the solution is run preferably from the bottom by a pipe, rising slowly through the ore. The solution containing gold is carried through precipitating appliances into the final reservoir, where, robbed of its wealth of metal, it may be repumped into ore vats and again used for searching out the coveted metal.

One of the curious things about the solution is that a total percentage not stronger than an eighth of 1 per cent will carry away the gold almost as well as fluid of greater strength.

Precipitation is effected by the use of fine pieces of zinc, so ax-ranged that when the rich waters flow over them the fine gold clusters in rich deposits over the zinc, for which it has an affinity. The gold which thus deserts the waters of cyanide deposits itself in the form of fine dust on the plates of zinc. The percentage of gold extracted by this process is very large. A large parcel of fine sulphurets from the Utica mines yielded an average of 93.18 per cent of the gold value under the cyanide treatment, and similar results have been experienced elsewhere in the state. The cyanide plants are being extended, and the noiseless process is everywhere becoming popular.—San Francisco Chronicle.

The Nat Diet.

It is evident by many straws noticed in a general reading of periodica) and newspaper literature that the next fad of the dietists is to be nuts. All the scientific cooking and health food authorities are urging with increasing persistence the value of this natural food and giving receipts for various nut flours, from which different varieties of bread cake may be made that are nutritious and of medicinal value in certain ailments. And now we learn that "Miss Ellen S. Atkins, a talented London woman who lost a spendid contralto voice four years ago from an attack of grip, has completely recovered her vocal powers through persisting in a fruit and nut diet for a year and a half."—New York
