LIGONIER, INDIANA, THURSIAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1874,

A noble life full of noble promise has come to an untimely close. The murderous seducer lives, but his vie tim—Flora K. Harding —has passel ‘into the presence of that Saviour wip said, “Daughter, ‘?hy sins be forgive, thee!” The disfigured image of Goa] has returned to its archetype. ‘Tt cannot be but when tiie ¥ght of genius goes out in darkness on earth, it will be relumed with brighter intensity in heaven. Sweet bells may be jangled and ambition may be ill‘starred here, but the soul there, in its sublime inheritance, shall rise to the I_'ealim'tion‘of its immortal aspirations. The crde of genius may be thorns _among men, but among the angels; it will'be a star! What Miss larding would have achieved had she lived, can only be conjectured. Talent such as she possessed would undoubtedly have resulted in that form of success which embodies fame while it commands the admiration of all thoughtful people.— Her father—the widely known editor of the Indianapolis Sunday Herald,— a man forwhom every true heart must now beat with the most tender and respectful sympathy—believed, himself, that his daughter would have accomplished much. But that is past now, and we can only say,remembering what was and what might have been, that it does seem true that b All that’s bright must fade, : The brightest still the fleetest ! 1

Miss Harding is ¢ne more victim of seduction —the vilest seduction ever perpetrated in the hallowed name of friendship.- Death has thrown the all-sacred shadow of Infinite Peace over her poor, aspiring, throbbing heart. She loved much,suffered much, and died. No -stain of dishonor can cling to her white spirit; it is clothed with the radiant mercy of God. To her, and for her, another morn has risen. She has awakéned from tlhe troubled dreams of a fitful slumber to behoId—PARADISE! : Oh, folded hands! oh, still, white face! and pulseless heart that no longer aches!—oh, rnaiden, ‘sinfnl yet pure and white,’ farewell! Thy frailty will not be written in the Book of Life. Sept. 1874. : :

New Fire Alarm. Y A Chicago genius has invented a fire alarm which cannot but be a success. 1t consists simply of acheap mercury. thermometer with counections for a battery at both ends. The mercury forms one pole and a bit of platinum wire projeeting’ from the top of the glass tube toward the mercury, forms one pole and a bit of platinum wire projecting from the top of the glass tube toward the mercury, forms the other. - The end of the wire reaches to a certain point, say the division which represents 120 degrees. When, therefore, the hgat of the room has reached that degree, the mercury rises in the tube, meets the wire and the circuitis closed.: The apparatus is so simple and of such cheap construction that the inventor proposes to place one in each room of every house in the city. It is suggested that in order to put them into general use, it will be necessary for the Board of Underwriters to make a deduction in insurance rates sufficient to cover the cost of supplying the insured buildings with these alarms. The only difficulty, it appears, might De in interpreting the signals. That the alarm would in every case be faithfully given,there can be no doubt.

A GERMAN jeweler of Amsterdam, New York, named Schroeder, has completed a piece of/mechanism which he claims surpassesianything of the kind in the world. It is a miniature mer chanical city, being twenty feet lon£ by fifteen feet wide. There are houses, castles, churches and stores, in it, just as they appear in almost any European city. People walk and ride about. Horses and wagons and railway cars pass through the streets.— Boats pass up and down the river, while some are loading and others unloading at the docks. Mills arein motion. A fountain plays in the .public park and a band of musicians fills the air with melody. There are also forts with spldiers parading about them, blacksmith shops with artisans at work in them, and pleasure gardens with people dancing in them.

A correspondent wants to know the meaning of the term “Chicagoed,” as used when one side in a game of euchre fails to make a point during the game. It originated from the practice of commission 'merchants in Chicago, in making return of produce consigned to them, to take the entire proceeds of the sales, leaving nothing to the producer. “Chicagoed,” therefore, is 4 common expression among the farmers of Illinois. - e

THE SEVEN SLEEPERS.

Th Legend Explained—Who 'l.‘heyi | Were, What They Did and . Jow They Slept. {Re G. U. Wenner, in Lutheran Home Monthly.] r more than a thousand years the legnd of the Seven Sleepers has been tol in pious song and story.. Who wre these Seven Sleepers? Is it only ayonkish legend, an invention of the “ark ages?” Or is the story true, or his it at least an historieal basis? It was in the year of our Lord 250 that Decius, the most inhuman of all thy Roman Emperors in ‘his persecutim of the Christians, in making a toir through his provinces, arrived at Ejhesus in Asia Minor. Christianity ha( already obtained a foothold here,: although the great majority of the pe>ple still 'adhered to the heathen religion. Upon his arrival, the Emperor ordered a sacrificial festival to be held in honor of Jupiter, Apollo and Diana. In this festival every one WS commanded to take part, under penalty of incurring the Imperial displeasure in case of refusal. Among the Christians of the city were seven vouths, decendants of- noble families. "The names of six of them were Maxi[*.Pini:m; Malchus, Dionysius, Joannes, Serapio and Conysius. These determined to die rather than to obey the nandate. As soon as Decius heard ¢f their determination, he commanded ihem to be brought before him. “Go,” said he, “and procurs incense, that jou may offer to the highest powers.” | “The Highest Power,” they replied, fas his throne in the heavens, and is tath ereated heaven and eaith. Him the living and Almighty God, who we worship, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and we can never again bow jown to dumb idols that arenothing.” With terrible glance the Emperor neasures the youthful confessors.— Then, suddenly changini his manner, de endeavors to win them by his i promises and his arguments. - For he tnew well that martyrdom would pour oil on flames he was trying to quench. Failing to attain his object py threats and promises, he tells them that he will graciously aceord them time to consider their resolution until hs should again; return to Ephesus, andl informs them of the terrible consequences if they should still continue tlieir stubborn resistance. - ‘With calm courage the young men departed from the presence of the Emperor. By the citizens of Ephesus they were proscribed; by many, however, secretly admired. Determined not to renounce their faith, they however decided to avoid the monster as much as possible. With this objdcet they betook themselves to'a range of mountains in the neighborhood of Ephesus. There they discovered @ cave, the entrance to which was concealed by thick foliage. In this cave they hid themselves, and one of their number, Malchus, the one least known ‘in'the city, was appointed to supply them with food. The day of the Emperor’s return arrived. One of the first questions was concerning the ‘stubborn youths.’ “They have escaped,” was the reply. Bat their concealment had been <discovered. = Spies had followed them, and purchased the Emperor’s favor by revealing their place of concealment. Decius, knowing well that he ¢ould not hope to change the purpose of the youths, gave command to close the mouth of the cave with a wall, and thus close them in a living tomb. No sooner said than done. There was one man, however, who, though still a heathen, had heard the gospel and was not far from God. Desiring that further generations might know whose bones rested there, he took a roll of parchment, and writing on it the names of the youths and an account of their courageous bearing, inclosed it in an iron casket, and unobserved by the workmen, 'slipped it into the cave' and then quietly withdrew. . Many a scoffing “good-night” was called after them by the brutal populace that evening in the streets of Ephesus. Many a tender “oood-night” did the Christians send after them in’ their prayers. And He who !}weser‘ved david in the cave of Adullam, and rescued Daniel from the den of lions, heard their prayer. The light of day for them had faded away. But they remembered, “He giveth His beloved kleep.” They lay themselves down and sleep. Soft is their slumber and no danger is nigh. It is as though holy angels had encamped round about them. We will leave themi to their sleep, and write over them on the dark rock the words of David: “IHow excellent is thy loving Kkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.” : ‘ Time passes on swift wings. Generations come and go like phantom spirits. About 187 years later we are again in Ephesus. But how changed is the scene! Decius, the tyrant, is | mguldering in his grave. The world gs completely changed. ; A wealthy land owner desires to make some improvements in his estate. In searching for suitable building material, he finds an old wall with large square stones. The blocks are easily removed, and the mouth of a cave is revealed. It is the cave of the Seven Sleepers, whose history has long since passed into oblivion. The rays of light entering for the first time in so many years awakened the youthg. They thanked God that deliverance had come so soon. For they supposed that but a single night had passed since they were immured.’ ‘Malchus was again sent to the city or bread. But the way seemed very strange to him: | And what was his astonishment to find over the gates of the city a glittering cross. In the city itself he can scarcely trust his senses. The images of the gods were removed. In the place of the heathen temple he notices buildings with proud domes and glittering crosses, and in the forum he hears the witnesses swear by the ommpote;% God, yes, even by the ‘name of Christ, instead of Diana and Apollo. He thinks it is a dream. Accosting a man on the ‘street, he asks him the name of the city. “The name of the city is Ephesus,” was the reply. “Can it be that this is Ephesus, where but a few daysago we were proscribed by the imperial edict,” was the thought of Malchus. But mindful of his errand, he enters a baker’s shop and offers in payment for bread a silver coin. The baker took the coin and carefully examined it. “This is a very ancient coin,” said he; “why, it bears the image of Decius. Where did you obtain it?” “Where is De- | cius?” was the reply of Malchus. | «ITas he left the city,and if so, when ?” The baker and the erowd that had - atlﬁlmda;in. the meantime, looked at ~ gﬂﬂl chus and seemed to regard him as one ﬂwho,hadilosﬁ,ttﬁs reason. One of them demanded to know wherg he had discovered the hidden treasure. Finally Malchus was taken before the I Bishop.of the ety =< *v 00

The Bishop was 4 reverend and dignified man. In a kind Manner he asked Malchus who he was and whence. he came. /- Malchus replied that he was one of the seven youths who had been immured in the grotto at the command of the Emperor Decius, but that the Lord their God had again given them-light and freedom, ;. ‘ “The Emperor Decius? Itisnearly two hundred years since Decius sat upon the throne. Many emperors have reigned since then. Theodosius now reigns by the grace of God. Heathendom has long since fallen. ''The cross is everywhere victorious. But tell me, where are your six companions? Show us the cave.” il Thus spoke the Bishop. And 1(;11{;1chus led him to the cave, followed by an inmense concourse 6f Christians.— In the cave they found the iron casket with the parchment roll, containing a full account of their history. For two centuries the youths had slept, and now they awoke to see a regenerated world. : The Bishop hastened to send an account of the matter to Theodosius at Constantinople. The Emperor himself hastened to Ephesus to behold the wonder. DBut the youths, obedient to an inner voice, in the same hour thdt Malchus Teturned, had again laid down, and the Lord took their souls to heaven. . e, W O —— s Son A Trusty Boy. | A few years.ago,’says a New York paper, a large drug firm in that city advertised for a boy. Next day the store was thronged with applicants, and among them came a queer-look-ing little fellow, accompanied by his aunt, in lieu of faithless parents, by whom he had been ghondoned. ! Looking at this lilt‘le waif, the mer-, chant in the store promptly said, “can’t take him; places all full. Desides he is too small.” = | | - “I know he is small,” said the woman, “but he is willing and * faithful.” There was a twinkle in the boy’s eye which made the merchant think again. A partner in the firm volunteered to remark that he did not see what they wanted with such a boy; he wasn’t bigger than a pint of cider. But after consultation, the boy was set to work. ; A few days later a call was made on the boys in the store for some one to stay all night. The prompt response of the little -fellow contrasted well with the reluctance of the others. In the middle of the night the merchant looked in to see if all was right in the store, and presently discovered his youthful protege busy scissoring labels. “ What are youdoing?” said he. “1 did not tell you to work all night.” “1 know you did not tell me so; but I thought I might as well be doing something.” - ; . In the morning the cashier got orders to double that boy’s wages, for he was willing. : Only a few weeks elapsed before a show of wild beasts passed through the styeet, and, very naturally all hands in the storerushed to witness the spectacle.” A thief saw his opportunity and entered in a rear ‘door to seize something, but in a twinkle found himself firmly clutched by the diminutive clerk aforesaid, and after a struggle was captured. Not only was a robbery prevented, but valuable articles taken from other stores were recovered.— ‘When asked by the merchant why he stayed behind to* watch when all others quit their work, the réply was:— “You told me never to leave the store when others were absent, and I tho’t I’d stop.” “Double that boy’s wages, he is willing and faithful.”. In 1869 that boy was receiving a salary of $2,500, and in 1870 had beeome a partner in the establishment.

el G- PES——— Sign Your Name.

- The public generally’ would much prefer, and it would indicate a much more manly trait, as well as give force to the writer’s statements, if they would sign their full name to articles published in newspapers, making charges against their neighbors, or public officials. It is an easy matter for any seribbler, to set down and write charges against anybody, or anything else he may see fit, from behind the screen of a ficticious signature. The fact that the real name of the ‘author is unknown to the public gives him a latitude that no one else pfussesscs, when signing his real namej he can make charges with each successive issue of a newspaper, and because he is unknown, he never need make any corrections unless he sees fit. This would not be the case were editors to, require the full name to be signed to every article where specific charges. are made against persons, public officials, or anything else where an answer or refutation is needed, and which, in most cases, demands that the person attacked, has, of necessity, to sign his own name in order to give force to his answer. It seems to us that editors should require the full name to articles such as we have named.— Warsaw Indianian. T S e { Crime North and South. i A correspondent from Norristown, Pa., represents a worse state of society than any existing in Tennessee or Louisiana. ‘A spirit of crime seems to be rampant throughout the mining regions. Large bands of murderers, well organized, are scouriiig the country, killing men and outraging women and children. The crime list for the past few weeks is' simply appalling.— Men are shot down in their door yards, women are outraged and murdered if they step beyond their owh doors.— There has been no instance in which a large - body of men have been lynched at one time as in Tennessee, but in the aggregate, Pennsylvania will probably carry off the palm. Pennsylvania is a strongly Republican State, and. thie mining troubles do not amount to a war of races, and hence little is said about it. < : 3 il - B—— Trying to Settle. . . There is reason to believe that the friends of f:l}é Plymouth Church celebrities will make strenous efforts to bring about a reconciliation . Mus. Ovington has already called twice upon Mr. Tilton to make overtures of some sort in favor of Elizabeth, but Theodore refuses to talk; business.-— In view of the fact that both Tilton and Moulton are preparing new statements more terrible and convincing than their former ones, it is not perhaps surprising that Mrs. Tilton's friends are willing to hoist a flag of truce. Such a conclusion would be most grateful to the reading public, which has begun-to lose its zest for the daily dose of scandal. Moulton is with Butler, Beecher is at the White Mountains playing croquet and romping with the %irls, while Tilton is at his home in Brooklyn preparing another horrible statement. T.et us hope that Mrs. Ovington will succeed in her mission of peace, =

' A MORAL PESTILENCE. = The Sentence of an Outraged Father Upon the Author of His Daughter’s Death. oot e ‘The Indianapolis “Herald, under the head of “Room for the Leper,” gives vent to the following withering sentence of social ostracism against Sol. Moritz, which will be re-echod by all who possess the instinets of manhood: It is hard to kill certain beasts. The hyena who has been tossing on a bed of pain for the past fortnight, with two bullets in his foul carcass, has lacked the decency to die and sink_to the hell that is yawning to receive him. He will be out again in a short time, free to walk the streets, free:to breathe the air that is breathed by de-. centy people, and free to resume the practice of his- helish axts. He will: not bemolested. Vile andindecentas he_is, the law throws its protecting arms about him, and no one dare load a shot-gun with buekshot. and blow: his vile entrials out at first opportunity. It is lawful to kill a mad dog.— 1t is not lawful to kill a hyena. But | what shall be done with this disgrace to the form of man, this parody on human nature? What punishnrent shall society inflict on the human goul, who is not only guilty of woman murder, but follows his-vietii to the grave with his malignant tongue? As we' have said before, it is not lawful to kill him, though his life is justly forfeited to God and man. -But there is one way to reach his eoward heart. liet him be made to feel that heis a lepér, an outeast, a-Pariah, a creature too wile to associate with even the ~vilest of human kind—an. obscene beast whose bare presence: pollutes the air. - Let no man speak to him or take him by.the hand. ILet every woman gather up her skirts for fear of contamination in passing him on the street. Teach little children to regard him as a thing accursed. Let him, in the midst of multitudes, feel the honors of solitnde and the want of companionship. Tllis own race and religion have driven him forth as a moral leper.. Let no one give him shelter from the scorn and contumely with which all decent men regard a.trditor, a cowaxd, a thief, aliar, and, finally, if remorse is possible toso heartless a creature, let him fully realize what men think of hiny, and then.die of his own loathsomeness.. In this way, and in this way only, can society punish him fer his erimes. The law is weak, Public sentiment is sfronger.than law. Let him feel the weight of its scorn. ; R What is said of Ligonier. = _[Correspondent of the Wolcottville Register.)” i Having had occasion to visit the -village of Ligonier a short time since. I was forcibly struck with the neat ‘appearance and great improvements that have taken place in that enterprising town since last I visited it. There seems to be a spirit of enterprise and go-aheaditiveness amongst .the business men and citizens, that' a few years ago they did not seem to possess. Their whole energies in the early history of the place, seemed to be engrossed in making money. What new “impetus has been brought to bear to bring about the change,.is- to the uninitiated, something of a myetery, but after learning the secret of their having turned their attention to manufacturing, and having invested soine of their capital in erecting factories. for the employment of their surplus labor, and in the induceinents held out to strangers to settle amongst them, they have the key-note to the success of this, and all towns who seek to be anything but a country village or fourcorners. Much of the cleanliness and brightness of the town is due to their efficient "Marshall, Capt. Braden,” who is the peer of any man holding that office in the West. I also noticed the neatness and enterprise of their tradesmen, of their commodious stores apd ample stocks ef goods, their mode of doing business, the amount of trade, &e, the new business blocks that are being built for the accommodation of trade, all going to show that Ligonier has awakened from her Rip' Van Winkle sleep, andis bound to be one of the leading towns of the West. . - I have not space in this short communication to partieularize the various improvements, houses of business, and places of interest, as I may do in some future communication, as Idntend visiting all the tqwn's and places of interest in LaGrange and Noble Counties during the coming fall and winter, and intend to give each and all a passing notice through your valuable paper. - We. 1 e eEe Tom Beecher Crawfishes, :

The Rev. Thomas K. Beecher hastens torsay that what he wrote to his sisters, Mrs. Hooker, to the effect that of the two, Woodhull and Henry, the former was the hero and the latter a coward, and that he had broken with Henry twenty years before because of his ' (Henry’s) peculiar ideas of social freedom-was written in confidence and ‘upon very one-sided and partial information, He had nothing but the ‘word of “his “deluded” sister, and ac¢epting the situation as she put it, he -wrote what he did. He did not expect the world to judge him by this letter. Henever expected the world to seeit at all. Now that it has come out, he disavows the sentiments he seemed to express therein. . Henry is anoble fellow. As between the two Henry is and was “a prophet of progress, a promoter of free speech and free thought, a thorough-paced; hopeful American citizen,” while he (Thomas) was afoel, a despondent and a pessimist. At the close of his letter, Thomas says that he gives his brother the “mostimplicit, contented and loving credence.” = This is strange talk, and sounds wonderfully like a special- plea, and yet no one charges Thomas with insanity. Indistinet Ailments. There are many distressing symptoms of disease the causes of which are uncertain. Debility, nervous irritation, mental stupor, and headache, for instance, may possibly be symp-: tomatic of chronic disease. in some particular organ; yet, in a large majority of cases, at least, they eg‘ise' from indigestion, and morbid conditions of the liver and bowels engendered. by a foul stomach. When this is the case a few doses of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters will usually effect a complete cure, but should the symptoms be only mitigated without being entirely removed, by a brief course of the remedy, let it be continued until every trace of disease has vanished. - Dyspepsia is a wonderful mimie. It imitates with startling acecuracy theindications of heart disease, brain disease, kidney disease, and half a dozen other frightful ailments, and when the doc-. tors have solemnly announced the existence of one or other of these complaints, half a dozen doses of the Bitters will, in %ost ‘cases, explode their theories by Curing the patient. 104

© POLITICAL NOTES. - John P. Cochrane, the Democratic' candidate for Governor of Delaware, is Master of a Grange at Middletown, and is one of the most extensive peachgrowers in the State. ! - -Of the Republican candidates for Congress in lowa, seven are lawyers and two are farmers. Of the AntiMonopoly candidates, three are lawyers, five farmers, and one a clergyman. . ;

. Mr. - Chandler’s programme, by which everybody is to be re-elected, is being faithfully followed out in Michigan. Four Congressmen from that State have been re-nominated during the past week. : \ - Qut of the 520,000 votes which were taken .at the Presidential election in Ohio only 850,000 were cast at the special constitutional election. It was but little more than a three-fifths vote. o g

The Ohio Republican platform declares that .intoxication should be made a disqualification for holding office. This is supposed to be an attempt to head off Grant’s third term aspirations. e . The Republican Convention in Nebraska pagsed a currency resolution which is quite as respectable as any that has seen the light in the East. It expresses the “hope that the circulating medium will soon be based on a metalic currency.” - The feeling of Alexdnder H. Stephens’ constituents is that he should be allowed to die in ‘harness, and he was accordingly re-nominated, on the 3d inst., i 1 spite of the very positive declination which he had previously made. Mr. Stephens’ health is now so broken that it is scarcely possible he will survive to, take his seat in the For®yfourth Congress. - A Republican candidate, for Congress in Tennessee has expressed the opinion to some of the Washington correspondents that not more than one of the entire delegation from that! State in the Forty-fourth Cengress will be a'Republican. The one candidate considered certain of election is Roderick Random Butler, the Cadetbroker. The Civil-Rights bill, of course, is the special grievance. , Mr. Montgomery Blair sought the. Democratic nomination in the Sixth Maryland Congréssional District, and failed -to- get it. , Some Republican journalsihave since attempted to give peculiar significance to this circumstance.. The truth is that Mr. Blair had not the least chance of success.— Every county in the district presented a separate candidate, and the person .most experienced in “combinations” and “managing” secured the noming- - tion. - »

A convention of Southern Republicans has been called to meet at Atlan- - ta on October 12. The project is supported by the National Congressional Committee; and the President, VicePresident, and other prominent men have half-promised to be in attendance. - Its object is said to be “to set forth to - the natiéon the true condition of the Seuth,” with a view, we presume, to carrying the fall elections in the sala-ry-grab and Credit-Mobilier Districts -of the North. - ; “The Democrats and Conservatives of Louisiana have issued. an address to the people of the United States -which appeals to the sympathy-of all good men. They show, with ingenious directness, that the National Government interfered in the aifairs of their State just enough to ¢confirm the power of Gov. Kellogg and the fraudulent Legislature; and that now, whben they are striving with hopes of success to overcome the immense advantages which Kellogg has gained - | by possession, they are again opposed ' by the anthorities at Washington. The silence of the Republican conventions “in respect.to Gen. Grant is quite oppressive. Do they not remember that he saved the Union?- That | would be a delightful reminiscence for almost any oceasion; and it would ‘do little harm. It could easily be set one side when the third-term proposition has taken definite shape. As it : is, the Second Washington may faifly: complain that his political friends are treating him rather shabby. “He will be Cmsar or nobody,” says the New York Herald, and it looks very muchas if he will not be Cesar. ; Senator Pratt receives this gentle rebuke at the hands of the Chicago Times: -~ “That mountain of flesh and mole-hill of brains, Senatot Pratt, of * Indiana, has just been denouncing the ‘Democracy’ of - his, State for their inflation chimers. Prattis a good one ° to argue against inflation. -Tle voted / for the wildest of Morton’s papermoney propositions all last session, and babbled more insanity against ‘the insuperable scarcity of gold’ than Logan or Merrimon.” :

: Bazaine’s Escape. Marshall Bazine has taken occasion to give to the publica true account of his escape from the side of St. Marguerite. The garrison was not corrupted by him. He offered no bribes to any official. He claims to have had, no assistance except from his wife and a relative of hers. = le/had secured a rope, it seems, which he kept concealed in a nook of his litle garden.. A ravine leading over the cliff and into the sea, and partly filled with debris at its mouth, furnished him with a basis of operations. Atthe mouth of this ravine he fastened his rope, well knotted at shoxtintervals. By a strategem he gave his guard the slip on the night of the escape, gained the rope and let himself down hand over hand, a distance of eighty feet. The night was stormy and the waves leaped high into the air, catching him and - dashing him roughly against the cliffs, now and then, but he persevered, fell into the sea at last, and stuck out for the boat containing his faithful wife and her attendant. Andit was thusa great marshal of France escaped from the custody of the government he had served so well. There is nothing very remarkable in it after all. There have been hundreds of escapes planned and executed under circumstances of far greater difficulty. Of course the guard was not attending to his business, or he would have seen Bazaine into his cell before leaving him for the night. % iy ¥B —— s In re-districting the State, the Republicans made the Second; Third and Twelfth Congressional Districts largely democratic. In each of these districts independent candidates are running against the regular nominee of the Democracy. In the Second, B. F. Rawlings; in the Third, James A. Cravens, and in the Twelfth, Willlam: B. Walters. In the.AFirsﬁrPiﬂﬁﬁgt» which contains a democratic wajority of 700, William Heilman is_also running as an independent candidate,
