Office: Oyer "Bee HiWStore SATURDAY, AUGUST, 20, 1881 The Editor left on this morning's train for a two or three weeks" vacation in the Buckeye state. During his abence an employe will have charge of the local and business department of the Telephone. The assassin, Guiteau, was at liis tricks Wednesday. It appears that he managed to get hold of a knife in some way, and with it attacked the guard. He talks in a crazy way about having been instructed by God to kill the guard, which gives the whole matter the appearance, of a j studied performance calculated to make capital if it comes to a murder trial. Cedarville (O.) Herald : Mr. A. R. Van Fossen of Salineville, O., has been chosen Supt. of our schools, He comes highly recommended by Prof. McMillan, who was a schoolmate with him in Bloomington College where he graduated. He has been teaching in the Salineville Public Schools. We undrstand the other applications are sadly disappointed, but after a few wrathful days and sleepless nights, hare concluded to wait another, perhaps hopeless, year. Sad. At any rate, let the new teacher be given a uniform and hearty support. Died: Lucik McKijsley, Wednesday evening, August 17th, 1881, of consumption. Age 17 years. Miss Lucie's death did not come unexpected, and, though she was not allowed to live out only a very small portion of man's allotted time on this earth, yet the hand of death did not find her unprepared, lor weeks betore its coming was watched for, as she realized that her lite with eartnjy habitation was only a question of days. By the advice of friends she went to Cleveland with a view of stai - ing, for a time, the disease that was makiner her its victim, but it had fated her, and in two weeks she returned home, ' as she said to die Her life was short, "as a flower in the field," but it knew now winter. It has been said: the good die young. Miss Lucie has been a faithfui member of the United Presbyterian church as well as an attendant of the Sabbath school for several years. Her life, her decorum and her conversation made her company on earth a pleasure; and her absence to live forever among the angles will leave a vacant place among associates that none, but her could fill. Thursday afternoon the funeral took place from the residence of Mr. Mac k Wylie, where was gathered many soi-rowing relatives and friends to pay to the dead a due respect, and give to the living the sympathy of their presence. A. There was one passenger, a woman doubtless from Bedford who evidently believed that rai'i-roads are made for people, and not the people for rail-roads. By some untoward mischance she dropped her artificial teeth from the window. The thought . 'of her going among her Nashville friend? all toothless was notrto be endured, so she summoned ihe conductor and ordered that the train be taken back to the city, or to the nearest station where a dentist was to bf found. The conductor deniurred.and finally compromised the matter by stopping the train five minutes wliile tie woman's husband ran . back to hunt up the teeth. When the time expired be had not returned, and the train was started on without him. Forthwith the wife sought the conductor, and demanded that it be stopped, that she might get off and stay with her husband. The conductor hesitated. The wiie remarked, "Stop this train and put me off, or IM1 put a hole through .yon." Hews was business, and the train was backed to the place where the husband was, and he got ou again, but without having found the missing treasure. Then the wife insisted that the train be "t urned round and go back to Louisville." Th is the conductor, having . locked himself in the baggage-car to avoid the threateocd bullet, refused to do, and the train went on with its toothless but irate passenger. On reaching tae next station an oner of reward for the recovery, of the teeth j 1 . 11 -a . r was teiegrapneu acK, and tliev were

We nse the sirgular number, for an entire nation is united in cne hope and in one anxiety. And not America alone, for the iron wires which Kind distant countries together have -proved the chords- along which common sympathies thrill. The civilzed world is watching around thesick bed of Garfield.
