-COMMUNISTIC IDEAS, = An inflation paper, sailing under democratic colors, recently declared: . “The first duty of a government is to its own people. Let it furnish its laberers with work amd bread, and then let it take care of its foreign creditors and its gold gamblers.” .

The Selipsgrove (Pa.) Zimes, in commenting: on the above, very forcibly observes that this is “a doectrine that 'Yhould find no advocate in a country like this. It is no part of a government to furnish the people with work | and bread. It is the duty of every man to engage. in some business and earn his bread, and not look to the ‘government for these things. In all ‘the best governmeénts in the world men are taught to depend on their own exertions for aliving, and the .government is only expected to protect them in their rights-and uot fur'nish them with labor.and bread. In such miserable governments as they have some in South America, the people set down in idleness and spend their lives in indolence waiting for thie government ‘to do -something for ‘them. The' result is that both the people and the government are alrhost worthless, and the country re-. mains unimproved: ‘The people here “do not belong to the ;govei'nmexlt, but. the government belongs to the people; and, instead of people looking to-the government for support, they ought to be taught to support themselves and the government too, as they really.do. | One of the greatest dangers to the prosperity and stability of a governmeént is the doctrine, when once universal and accepted, that it is the duty of the government to provide labor and bread for the people., We have already too ‘many méu_ looking to tl;e | government for'a living instead of de--pending on their own exertions. When once imbibed, such doctrine leads to -idleness and discontent, the precursors “of revolution. -It is the doctrine of the demagogue, and not of the statesman and patriot.” ' It is surprising, indeed, that democratic journals will stultify themselves to such an extent as to embrace | and champien doctrines which are in 1 direct conflict with the most cherished principles of the democratic party, all for the purpose of popularizing a theory that is both anti-democratic and anti-commercial. If these deviations continue, veneration for Jefferson, Madison, Wright, -Benton, Cass, &c., must soon become extinet.

: DEATH OF DR. ATHON. ) Telegrams announce the death, in the city 'of Indianapolis, of one of the most remarkable professional, literary and political mén of Indiana—Dr. Jas. S. Athon. He died in his 65th year, from the effects of a stroke of paralysis with: which he was visited September 28th, after a Ilife of great activity and many positions. He was born in. Louden county, Virginia, April 1, 1811, He moved early in life to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, where he worked on his father’s'farm. On. his mother’s side he was connected with the family of President Monroe. He began' the study of medicine in the office of Dr. Lyle in Charlestown in the. old Indian Territory, and practiced there till the breaking out of the Mexican war in 1846, when he entered the service as Surgeon of the Third Indiana Regiment. In this position he became distinguished, and on his return was elected State Senator and remained in.office one term.” He was'a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1850, an Elector on the Democratic ticket in 1852, and helped to secure the election of Franklin - Pierce. In 1853 he was appointed Superintendent of the Hoépipal for the Insane, and remained there eight years. . On retiring from his post he was elected. Secretary of State, served two years, and then settled down in Indianapolis; where he has since been busily engaged in the practice of his profession, to which he has contributed many valuable works. His political ‘principles were always strong and aggressivh L

. THE DEMOCRATIC JOURNALS of the South generally take a very sensible view of the result of the recent Ohio election. They generally deplore the attitude-assumed by the Ohio Democrats on the finance question. The Floridia’n,__ published at Tallahassee, thus speaks upon this subjeet: “We agree with the Telegraph that the parfy committed stupendous folly when it dragged in an issue which has no business on the hustings — which cannot be settled intelligently there—which challenges the highest order of financial, statesmanship, and should have been left to the wisdom of Congress, untrammeled by party dictation and dogmatism. The people do not want a_radical currency or a democratic currency. They ask simply for the safest and best currency which can be obtained in the present financial condition.” ‘ LN

In all the arguments made by the newspapers and gab-slingers in the in-' terest of the specie resumptionists, we have yet to see one that tells how resumption is to be'brought about. Not a single-plan has-been evolved by which specie payments are to be effected.—Morgan County. Gazette. = '| The Gazette’s opportunities must indeed be limited if it has not espied a “single plan.”; Wel have noticed more than two dozen differentl plans to lead to resumption, and most of these emanate from very substantial and clearheaded financiers and economists.

THE Grand-Rapids Democrat, a decided inflation organ, makes this frank admission: - Bk gl ;

_;For many years past tne folly of the demoecrats has again aud again saved the republicans. In fact, this has become proverbial; and the result in Ohio, shows that théy have done it again, 'and in a most conspicuous instance. g R

MORTON'S INCONSISTENCY.

If we were asked to name the most inconsistent politician in the United States, truth and candor would compel. us to name Oliver P. Morton. -On al‘most every great question that has come up during the past ten years he has exhibited the most glaring inconsistency. ie would advocate a cer~ tain policy to-day, 'and to-morrow he would turn around and without one word pf explanation not only espouse another cause but savagely denounce the very thing he had.previously advocated. He performed thus on the reconstruction question, likewise on the suffrage question, and more. recently he passed through the same maneuvers in grappling with the financial problem. The latter performance has been most admirably illus‘trated by the Nation, an independent journal with strong republican proclivities.~ In commenting upon one of Morton’s speeches in Ohio, that able journal says: 3 » - “Last year he was in the Senate the most ardent advocate of inflation. e ridiculed specie pa{mentls as a chimera—declared that the people wanted more money, and ought to have it; cited the example of Austria and Italy as proof that nations prosper most where their money is irredeemable paper, inveighed against the advocates of resumption ‘as ‘book men and theorists.” In fact he poured forth folly and ignoranuce like a spring flood, and helped to fill the business men of the country and its foreign creditors with alarm. * Recently he made a speech in which he appeared as a hard money man, and opposed to inflation; he. showed, as has been so often shown before, that paper ‘based on the entire wealth of a nation’ was a humbug and a delusion; because what was the use. of ‘basing’ it on the wealth of the nation, if the wealth of the nation could not be used to redeem it? He acknowledged that the time had gone by, if there was a time, when inflation could do any good, and that the panic must now be aliowed to.run its cburse ‘until the times are relieved by econoay, industry, and the operation . of general causes.” And,he maintained that we must now get back to specie payments steadily and gradually. His performance is worth the notice of political philosophers as an illustration of the way in which a thoroughly unprincipled politician keeps afloat and in office from year to year, without much discomfort or inconvenience.”

‘Tramps and Dead:-Beats. : It appears that each succeeding year .brings more and more of those profesional. itinerants, known throughout the length and breadth of the land:as “tramps.” They usually have a trade, or profession, and pretend to be seeking emyloyment. =~ They invariably complain-of dull times and the scarcity of work. The tramp cannnot™ind employment, in conséquence of which he is sure to be “dead broke.” Then, he s\eldom redchies you:rpflébe'of business in less than twenty-four hours after having tasted food. Of cburse you feel sorry for him, but cannot give him work. Sometimes he does not trouble you for-a job, but only begs from 'his fellow craftsmen a little “lift” to help him to. the next town, or, perhaps, just enough to get him a “gquare meal.” 'To obtain either, gives ‘the average tramp more real satisfaction than a week’s work. There are ‘few of them whose physiognomy does not show unmistakable evidences of dissipation. Dissipation is their true ‘apology for being tramps, and if you give them employment they seldom retain the situation any leugth. of time. Many of them are incompetent workmen, and those who are skilled in their profession soon show signs of restlessness and are again ready to take up their line of march. Many of them are simply professional deadbeats and do not want work, preferring to beg or steal the necessaries of” life. Thus the tramps come and go. Tramp, tramp, tramp, is heard and seen on every hand. . 'The old tramp and the young tramp, the lazy tramp and the hungry tramp, the fat tramp and the lean tramp—all a¥e marching, the fown and country through.. Not a day, or a week at most, passes without our place being visited by one or more of these restless, wandering vagrants, having no ‘visible means of support:~-They are not only an intolerable_nuifance to' mechanics and busihes‘sr"qign in oar cities and towns, but they pfey upon‘our rural friends, also. *Our own town and vicinity are not exceptions, as will appear from the following item found in a recent issue of the Fort Wayne Sentinel : It is safe to:say that never in the history of our city was Fort Wayne 80 overrun with tramps, vagrants and dead beats as at present. They are congregated at every street corner, in front of the notorious saloons, around. the railroad depots, etc., ragged, dirty, and lazy, and caring not for work, but for a chance to steal something. The' other day a gentleman, who desired a few hands to work for several days, approached a number of these loafers clustered in the vicinity of the south_ ,de_p(l))t, and asked them if they wanted a job. & j | J“How much will you give a day?” drawled out one of them. i |

“One dollar a day,” responded the gentleman, and out of the whole crowd he only found one or two who would accept work at those terms.: The others used such exclamations as “To h—l with your job!” “I’d rather starve than work er a dollar a day,” ete. These vagrants’make numerous calls upon our citizems at their residences and. places of business for assistance, but when work is offered them almost invariably refuse. This ‘morning one of them went to the house of a wealthy citizen residing on' | West Berry street and asked-for breakfast. “You shall have your breakfast,” responded the gentleman, “and while the cook is preparing you a warm meal I wish' you would just take a rake and clear the leaves fromn the grass plat in my front yard.,” = ~ “I am not 'hiring’ out by the job,” said the tramp, whereupon the benevolent citizen piously requested him to “go to h—l.” ' The above instances are only {llustrations of many of the same kind which are constantly coming to our reporter’s ears.: What is to be done with these dead beats, is becoming a serious problem in Fort Wayne. If they won’t work for their bread, acccording to the divine command, they deserve to starve, and if they steal under such circumstance they should be severely punished.

OUR COUNTY FAIR.

_ "The twentieth annual Fair of the Noble County Agricultural Society was held here on the 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th of the present month. The first and second days were principally occupied in making entries and getting things in proper shape, and consequently the attendance was mot large. No admittance fee was taken up on the first.day. The weather was rather cool, especially in the mornings, to make it pleasant; but on Thursday, the third day, there was a large attendance,~and on Friday, also, the grounds were crowded, notwithstanding there was some rain in the forenoon and the weather became uncomfortably cool toward evening.

LARGE NUMBER OF ENTRIES.

The Secretary’s books show that at least one-third more entries were'made 1n some classes this year than ever before, and it was plain to be seen that we had a finer display in most departments than at any other Fair held here. + * 'FLORAL HALL. With the great mass of visitors who usually attend a County Fair, the floral hall seems to be the first object of interest, especially among_the ladies, . and their presence there is sufficient to make it the centre of attraction al--80 to members of the sternersex. But let us not judge harshly. . The great variety of objects with which the floral hall was literally packed made it indeed a.place well worthy the attention of every man, woman and child who entered the .grounds. The ‘hall was 80 constantly thronged with vis-. itors that it was next to impossible to get a view of all it contained. Here were cloths, carpets, quilts, coverlets, and needlework of every descript.idli; bread, butter, cakes, fruits, jellies, preserves, wine, sugar, spiced fruits, pickles, ete., almost without limit.- “Mr. F. Beazel had on exhibition, in this hall, a good display of trunks and harness of his own manufacture; and Mr. D. M. Reynolds exhibited a good line of toy furniture, carving, picture’ frames and brackets, manufactured by the Toy Furniture. Co., of this_ plaée.‘ The ‘ walls on the north side of the hall were literally covered with pictures. Among these.were several very creditable paintings by Mrs. J. W. Kime, and a crayon drawing by G. T. Carr. There were also some fine 'portljait paintings. Had we the space we wo’ld like to take our readers through the large and varied selection found in the floral hall,.and give a minute description of scores of articles which richly/merit more than'a passing notice. - But we cannot even enumerate all of them, and must be-content with noticing a very few— though th'ere;are others equally meritorious—and refer our readers to the list of premiums on the fourth page of to-day’s BANNER for additional information.

FARM AND GARDEN PRODUCTS.

The past season having been especially favorable to the development of farm produets, it was but reasonable to expect a good display in this. department, and we think the exhibition was fully up to the highest expectations.. .The vegetables were very fine. There were mammoth pixmpkins, mammoth squashes, mammoth beets, and mammoth onions—indeed all the vegetables were.on the mammoth order. The sweet and Irish potatoes could not have been better, and of the latter there was a great variety. There. were peach blows, rose potataes, Bronnell’s beauty, Compton’s surprise, peerless, Michigan flukes, Shaker russets; and several other varieties—all large and fine. 'The cabbage on exhibition was of the largest weé have ever seen —heads weighing from twenty-ﬁve to thirty pounas, and some even more. Of onions there was a good showing. We noticed onions that. would- measure from four to five inches in diameter, and beets and turnips that, were regular “whoppers.” = The grain on exhibition was good. Some of the finest whedat we ever saw—white, plump, and clean — was exhibited by John' Prougk, ’Squire Bucher, ' and others. There was a fine display of corn of different varieties, both yellow and white, which was perhaps as fine as any ever raised in the county. Clover seod, timothy seed, and other articles were in proportion as regards their’ display and quality. 5

FARM IMPLEMENTS.

In this department there was a better showing.than on previous years, and . what is particularly creditable, most of the articles exhibited in this line were of home manufacture. Gerber, Treash & Kriechbaum, of the Ligonier Plow and Wagon Works, exhibited a number of articles of their own ‘make and were awarded no less than eight premiums in this class alone. In addition to the articles in this class, this enterprising firm had on the grounds a splendid line of et

BUGGIES, CARRIAGES AND SLEIGHS. In fact their display in this department would have done credit to a State exhibition. ,In order to show the material used and the quality of work—that their buggies are not puttied, painted and polished simply, to give them a fine appearance, but that they are manufactured with special regard to utility —they brought out.a portion of their work unpainted, as it came from the hands of the builder: This work, we believe, was executed by Mr. Neubauer. In this establishment the painting is done by Mr. Jas. M. Van Camp, who was awarded first premium for work in that line 3 and the trimming is done by Mr. L.C.Warren, and the work is a sufflicient guarantee that he understands his busis ness thoroughly. Some fine buggies and carriages were also exhibited by 8. D. Moon, of LaGrange, and Adam Yeakel, of Goshen. = -

STOCK DEPARTMENT. ; In the various classes of stock the exhibition, we think, was equal to, and in-some instances far surpassed that of any preceding year. Of horses there was a good showing and some splendid specimens of the equine species, especially in the class of horses for general purposes. o

" In the cattle classes there wasa good showing, principally Durham and Jerseys. A fine Devonshire bull was -exhibited by our friend A. R. King. ~ The sheep pens were pretty well oecupied with as good a lot of sheep as -was ever brought to our County Fair. A neat flock of fine wool sheep was exhibited by Wim. Long, of near Mil-

lersburg, and were worthy of special notice. it Sl

The hogs consisted almost entirely of the Berkshire stock. "Of these there were a goodly number, and they were considered by competent judges to be very fine stock. We heard one man remark that he had never seen so many black pigs at any Fair. : Taking all things into eonsideration, the Fair must be regarded a success, More premiums were awarded than at any previous exhibition, and, under the new regulations for the government of awarding committees, we believe there has been an impartial, and we trust judicious, distribution. At any rate, exhibitors seem, genera]ly satisfied with the awards. [ ! i e e P i * Qualifications of an Editor.

In the Laporte Chgonicle, of recent date, we find an article describing the essential qualifications of . the man who would assume the high and responsible duty of conducting a public journal in such strict accordance with our own views, and the principles upon which we have ¢ndeavored to conduct THE BANNER during the -past decade, that we are constrained to transmit its language to our columns, “Above all other n:en,” says the Chronicle, “the editor: should be governed by strict principles 6f honor. He constantly comes in contact with the public, and in his reiations to the public he has two gzeat-duties, to disseminate information and ’to{ furnish an ’-,exam.ple of high-toned honorablé eonduet, so that his position as n publie teacher may always tend to make the community better and ngt worse. The true editor will exercise his vocation with ah hourly consciousness of its "great responsibilities, .and he! must devote himself to the conduct of his

paper with the same careful assiduity that the lawyer bestows on an important case, or the physician on a patient when life and death arein the balance. And he is'not to forget that personal honor should never be sacrificed:for. the sake of an exhibition of personal spleen or malice. A manifestation of petty spitefulness‘in the columns of a newspaper is utterly beneath the dignity of honorable journalism. Upon the editor should always rest a conscientious. responsibility. His labors are great. and often annoying; but he should never forget his relation to the public, and his duties arising from them. He should aim in the general conduct of his paper to preserve always an upright, manly, honorabie tone, and a dignified temper; he should pursue a uniform, consisterit course in his principles and aims, and should never fail in true courtesy and propriety. These are moral considérations which should he to*him as the apple of his eye. Intellectually, he will have need of all the resources nature has given him. His general information should be abundant; and no matter how great the powers of his mind,” he will find full employment for his intellect in the preparation of editorial,articles, and for the judgment in thelabor of selection, proper discrimingfion in which, he will find to be no small part of his duty.” Isitany wonder that so many newspapers, all over the country, utterly fail, while ot‘heré”__.recei"ve but a limited patronage and'_jattain to only partial success ? Like everything else, a newspaper to succeed in the face of sharp competition must merit success —must prove “itself worthy of the confidence aq‘d support of the best citizens in any community.

}Max Adeler in Europe.

Max Adeler’s new book, “Out of the Hurly Burly,” seems to have proven a ‘decided hit in theé book market of the Old World, no less than in this coun“try.” It was reprinted by three leading publishing houses in England, whose several editions, we see it stated, have sold by tens of thousands .of copies.. In addition to this,the author has received from the Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria,the rare compliment of a gold medal, and has also been the recipient of highly flattering testimonials from the Courts of Berlin, Rome, and other Continental governments. o ‘What fancy originally led this latest and most genial of 'American humor-. ists to the adoption of the foreign‘sounding nom de plume by which he is so widely known, we have never seen explained. “Out of the Hurly Burly” is athoroughly Americanbook, and thoroughly enjoyable. It is nota book of . jests -and scraps, but a connected, finished piece of literary workmanship. Its wit is pure and cheery. The laughs which it provokes are delightfully spontaneous, and of the kind that makes one feel wiser and kindlier than before. Max Adeler never descends to coarseness or irreverence, and scorns to purchase a cheap popularity by bad spelling. or slang. It is for these reasons that the book finds so many eager buyers among classes the most respectable. Hence, too, its use so frequently (especially at the East) for readings at public and private entertainments. : The publishers of “Out of the Hurly ‘Burly” are Messrs. George Maclean & Co., (Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and Chicago). Like many of the best and most successful publications since the war, it is sold by subscription. If any reader of THE BANNER is on the lookout for & paying agency, here is an opportunity worth investigating. We. should not forget to mention that the illustrations of “Out of the Hurly Burly” are profuse, and strikingly good. They are 479 in number, and every one original. Notwithstanding the fine style in which it is gotten up, the retail price of the. book is only #2850 - i o

Getting ‘ﬁown to Hiard Pan.

The Boston Advertiser related the following, a few weeks since, which shows that Boston girls “mean basiness” and know how to talk it: *“Mr. Jones is engaged to a pretty and practical girl, Her birth-day is @ctober 1. This morning Jones received a note from her which said: ‘Dear Jack, I feared you might send nie a bouquet for a birth-day present, as you did last year, and T thoughtl’d suggest to you that a parlor stove or a German student’s lamp would be a great deal better, and either of them would keep.” Jones has bought both, and intends sending up a peck of sweetpotatoes with them.” - mi:ﬁxgher,mgwnm prominent real e operator of Indianapolis, was kilod on Sundogb by bing shiown

~~ The Champion Hog Case. ' ~ What may be termed the champion hog case has just beéen decided at Logansport, in the Cass county (Ind.) Circuit Court, Judge Chase Fresiding. Two hogs were found ast fall running at large in the vicinity of the farm of Joshua Porter, in Cass county, and he took them in charge, claiming them as his property. A neighbor named Charles Cohen, shortly after seeing the hogsin Porter’s possession, demanded them, alleging that they were his. Porter refused to give them up, whereupon Cohen replevied them and gained possession. - The latter soon after sold the hogs to a passing drover for three dollars, and they were shipped with others to Boston.— ‘Porter immediately followed to that city, recovered the grunters and brought them back, which proceeding involved a second replevin suit beore a Justice of the Peac, this resulting in a second defeat for Porter. THat gentleman, however, had the case appealed to the Circuit Court, and the jury, after being out thirty-six hours, rendered a verdict in favor of Mr. Porter. The cost of the whole case from the beginning now foots_lup $2,000, including at‘torneys’ fees, which, upon a fair estimate, would make the hogs worth, at present, $4 per pound, while they _were once sold for $3 perpair. The case was ably handled by two of the leading lawyers of the city, Hon. D. D. Dykeman for Porter, and Judge Baldwin for Cohen; and it is possible that this will eénd .the controversy. ey

" The Louisville Commercial criticizes Gov. Hendricks for declaring against both expansion and contraction, and permitting the present volume of currency to be absorbed by a revival of trade. .The Governor gives it as his ‘opinion that if this had been the positicn of the Democracy of Ohio, they. would have achieved a victory at the late election. -He is not alone in this opinion. Thousands of hard money Democrats were of the same opinion, and that this had its influence may be imferred from the fact that the democratic speakers, even the most rampant inflationists, assumed this position before the close of the canvass. However, the Commercial thinks that specie payments can never be reached. except by contraction. This is:not the view taken by many able men. It is believed that an active business will absorb all of the present surplus ‘of currency, cause a flow of coin from Europe, and thus bring paper to par. There can be no doubt that this would be accomplished just as soon as the currency tinkers give the capitalists _.some assurance that the currency is not & be disturbed so as to cause fluctuations.— New Albany: Ledger. We are inclined to the opinion that Gov. Hendricks is quite correct in his estimate of the result in Ohio. It was the senseless communistic talk of Sam Carey, and Gov. Allen’s denunciation of a metalic basis that excited the ap--prehensions of hard money men. -Op_position' to-Shierman’s resumption bill might have been endured, but the theories advanced by the ultra:inflationists were too dangerous and ' odious to be countenanced.

TIIE CENTENNIAL TRAIN left Buffalo' on. the.morning of the 20th, at 7, vie Buffalo, New York and Philadelphia railway. A salute of thirteen guns was:fired, and-the excursionists, numbering 125, boarded the train, consisting of a commissary car and five Pullmans. The cars were draped with flags, and each bore on a beautiful tablet on the outside, the name of the city.whose delegation was inside. These were Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, Toledo, Cleveland and Buffalo. Ancient Revolutignary drums were produced at various points, and beaten by the patriarchs ‘of the land. In the front of the commissary ‘car was a howitzer, and the plaudits of those on the platforms were answered by the bangs of the gun. A beautiful feature of the trip was the files of school children rangedjin line at many of thie stations. The day was magnificent, and the mountain sides were garlanded with the brilliant foliage of autumn. - The switches were spiked, and there was no danger of accident. The party arrived at Philadelphia at 9:30, and were met at the station by carriages and proceeded along streets brilliantly illum‘inateﬁ for the occasion, and past buildings decked Wwith flags to'the Centénnial Hotel, where they- were welcomed by Mr. James Mitchell on behalf of the merchants, of the city. ' e Virginia City, Nev., the great centre of silver bullion production, the location "of Big Bonanza, Ophir, Consolidated Virginia,” and other great mines, has been visited with a severe calamity in ghe shape of a destructive conflagration. The entire” business and t?hiqklylsettl‘ed portion of the city was on last Tuesday laid waste, including all the hotels, churches, nexlggpaper offices, public buildings, telegraph and express offices, “stores, land business places, and involving a total loss estimated in the late dispatches at $2,000,000. : At one time there was great danger that all the mining works, mills, and buildings would be swept away, and the mines rendered worthless for months to come; but this disaster was happily-averted in great II;ar(:. i The affliction at best is a terrible one, the flahes having made 10,000 people homeless.

Score one more for South Bend. ‘That city has a veritable : haunted house where the inmates are amused until their hair stands on end, and the cold sweat trickles down their blanched faces, by noises such as heavy treading on the floor, banginghof doors, and apparent crashing of dishes, as though everything was" being smashed to pieces; but on examination no harm is done, and all things are perfectly quiet. The family who last occupied the house have been driven out by the strange noises and commotion.

.7 On Sunday morning a fearful acci- { dent occurred on the river at St. Louis, whereby two men, three women, and one little boy three years of age were drowned. It appears that four men, two men and one child, all colored, went to a ferryman in South St. Louis, and asked to be rowed over the river. ‘When about half across the river, the frail boat sprung a leak. The ferryman attempted to gain shore, and would' doubtless have succeeded had not the passengers been seized with a panie, capsizing the skiff, and precipitating all into-the rivem Six out of’ the eight were drowned. ‘ ' The village of Park Ridge, a suburb of Chicago, hdas narrowly escaped having a second Charley Ross affair, Willie Broughton, aged 10, son of a prominent citizen, was enticed into a secluded spot by a couple of strangers,; bound and gagged, and thrown into 4 carriage in waliting, The men then drove rapidlyaway.
