At Four Score Years.

Mrs: Asenath Todd died at the residence of her son, J. M. Hodshire, in this place, on Tuesdaymorning at three o’clock. The cause of death was pneumonia of both lungs, and paralysis, superinduced by palpitation of the heart. ►She had been sick for about three weeks. I 'util within less than 24' hours of her death, she had seemed well on the w;ty to recovery. Mir. Todd had lived in Rensselaer but a few weeks, having come here from North Vernon. She was born in April, 1804, and consequently lacked but a few months of having attained the ripe age of 80 years. She came to Dearborn county in ISIS, and has been a resident of the state ever since. She has been a member of the M. E. church for sixty years. The funeral was held, at the residence, yesterday at 10 o’clock, and was conducted by the Bev. T. C. Webster, pastor of the M. E. church.

The North American Review for November , by the liveliness and the sterling worth of ike articles it contains sati-lies the requirements of the most exacting remhir. khenatorFLTßrWhtKW Island’’, giving incidentally a highly inter sting sketch of the early comutuiional history of that little Commonwealth, and setting forth the considerations which influenced its people 11 in restricting the exercise of the eleitoral dierogative. Ds. Norvin Green, President of the Western Union Company, in tin article entitled “The Government and the telegraph’’, cites the provi-ions of the Federal Constitution and the determinations of the Supreme Court which appear to debar the General Government lr<>m iKsuming the management of telegraph , lines; and presents statistics designed to prove that the service ,n this country is both cheaper and more < fficient than in any of the countries of Europe where the Governments own the lines. The Rev. David N. Utter brings out from oblivion the reco’-d of certain atrocious crimes of “Joi n Brown of Ossawotoinie.’’ There are two scientific articles, namely “Solar Physics”, by Professor Balfour Stewart, and “Modern Explosives”, by Gen. John Newton. W. 11. Mallock contributes “Conversations with a Solitary", an imaginary psssage-at-arms between a Radical and a Conservative, in which the two opposing theories of government and society are advc- ated with rare spirit and ingenuity of argument. In “Suggestions in regard to the Public Service”, Green B. Raum filers certain facts going to prove that the clerks and other employes of the ’government departments at Washington even before the passage st the Civil ■ Service net, were in the main both faithfufi And efficient. Finally, “Dr. Hammond’s Estimate of Women", is reviewed by Mrs. Lillie Devereux Blake M'ss Nina Moiais, Mrs. Sara A Underwood and Dr. Clemence S. Lozier. -Fifty cents a copy; $3 a year.

THE CIRCUIT COURT.

Last week. The five persons indicted for gambling and three for drunkeness all plead, guilty and were fined at the rate of about five dollars each, and costs. One Mullins, of Remington, whojwas present as a witness in a case, and as such was directed to leave the court room, but neglected to obey the order to retire was fined—foF contempt of court. '' THE GRAND JURY. The grand jury completed its work last Thursday. As originally drawn it consisted of Jacob Owens, James Frazer, Jas. W. Lock, Wm H. Jones, Reuben R. Pettit. Frazer and Pettit live in Remington. Frazer came to Rensselaer to fill his place on the jury, but got drunk, as before mentioned, and instead of indicting others was himself indicted. Pettit met with an accident a day or two before court set and was excused from attendance. He is said to have fallen from his horse and fractured a rib or two. David Nowels and FrankH all were chosen to fill the vacancies. Ten indictments were found this term. Five for gambling, three for drunkenness, one for larceny and one for arson. An older man than Rees Goddard. Hugo Hellenstien, the dangerous lunatic from nobody knows where, who has been in jail since the June term, was brought into court on Thursday for examination, as to his mental condition. He had no trouble in convincing the court that he was a crank of the first water. For instance, the court asked him how long since he. came to this country, to which he answered that the last time he came here was' in 186'.), but his first visit was made about 85 year sago. The judge allowed that he did not care to hear the particulars of the first visit, as the time was so long ago that it really extended beyond the jurisdiction of the court. “Probably your Honor has no idea of how old.l really, am,” said Hellenstien, “I am over nineteen hundred years old.” , The fact that he is not a resident of the county, nor even of the state, so far as known, makes his disposal a rather perplexing question. He is.still in jail, awaiting the court’s further consideration of his case. Tom Coghill the cranky inmate of the-poor-house, who has been in jail for some time on account of having assaulted Simon Phillips, the keeper, was released.’ The grand jury having failed to consider his case. 5 The court adjourned Thursday afternoon till Tuesday morning. This week. The case of Vai Seib 'vs. thb Western Union Telegraph Company was tried Tuesday afternoon, and yesterday was begun the trial of Lyman Brooks, of Keener tp., charged with arson, in the burning of the barn of William Abifyhams, and is still on trial. Both of these cases will be reported fully next -week. - i—icfp i-mn«i Col. Lee Templeton, of Fowler, an intimate friend ofc the family of the murdered Ada Alkinson. w-as in town Tuesday. lie is entirely Taniitiar with all the circumstances of the crime find the subsequent detection and arrest of the perpetrator. He says that nothing but the disinclination of the Atkinsons to believe. Nelling the guilty man prevented his detection and arrest the very evening of the murder. In common with everybody else, who is well acquainted with Nelling' and his characteristics, Mr. T.empleton believes that the old monster lies, when he says he committed the deed during an insane frenzy, and that an intention to commit an outrage was the motive for the crime. Though numerous causes may operate to turn the hair gray, ail that is needed to restore the natural color is Hall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair Reviewer For more than twenty years its nates have been enormous, but we have yet to learn of its first failure.

The ordinary cough or cold, resulting perhaps from a trifling or unconscious exposure, is often hut’the beginning of a fatal sickness.

"In 18571 teok a severe cold, which affectM my" lungs. I hail a terrible cough, and passed night after night without sleep. Tlie doctors gave me up.
