Cameron Acquitted.
The trial of Cameron for kilting Dr.
Fillers, in Greenfield, was brought to
an abrupt and sudden conclusion last
week, by the Prosecuting Attorney
abandoning tfie prosecution, after hear
ing a portion of the evidence for the
defence, statiDg as his reason that a
conviction was impossible. Thetcsti
mony of several witnesses established
the fact that Cameron did all he could
to get away from Fellers and proposed
to him to stop the affray, after it had
lasted for some minutes, but that Fel
lers refused, and followed Cameron
up, attempting to kill him, until the
latter was obliged, in stir-defence, to
take his life. The Court therefore or
dered a decree of acquittal. Mr. Cam
eron was warmly congratulated by his
friends at the fortunate result of his
trial.

He tins reason to be proud of his career at
the Ohio Wesleyan University, and also
at tlje Cornell University. He graduated
at the. hitter Institution last July.
We shall be disappointed if the Capt.'s

that in the army and at College.

Cattle Disease.
says
a mysterious and alarming cattle dis
ease has appeared at Catawba, Clarke
county. It was first noticed in the
stock of J. H. Page, and then among
Thomas Randall's ; each of them lost
one valuable cow. The cows had been
milked according to custom in the
evening, and nothing unusual was no
ticcjd. Shortly after they became un
easy, and in five minutes fell down
dead. They commenced swelling short,
ly after, so much so that they burstcd
when the hide was punctured. An
examination was made bypkillful cat
tle men, but they could ascribe no
cause for their death.
The Ripley I3ee says : We saw on
Monday morning at Mr. A. Ludwig's,
the short tusks of a mastodon. They
were 'found in the bed of Straight
Creek,; about one-half mile from its
mouth, last week. One of them is
eutire and the other nearly so. They
each measure three and one-half feet
long and twenty and one-half inches
in circumference. The perfect one
weighs nearly fifty pounds. There is
no doubt but that the bones of the
whole animal are in the vicinity where
the tusk was found, and we understand
that measures will be taken for a reg
ular search. The tusks are petrified,
and it is probable that the entire frame
may be found in the same condition."

Important to Stock Raisers.
A decision 0 general interest to
farmers, and especially to the large
stock raisers "of ' the West, hits just
been made by' Commissioner 'Delano!
In some districts persons had been as
sessed for' tax as cattle brokers, who
were In the habit of buying cattle in
summer, and turning them into their
pastures, and selling them to butchers
and drovers, as soon as they were in
proper condition. The question of
their liability having been referred to
the Commissioner, he decided that
they were not liable if such buying,
pasturing, and selling were necessary
to their" business ns farmers and gra
zers, or properly incidental thereto.
The real cattle broker under this de
cision i3 lield; to be one whose regular
business it is. to buy. and sell cattle iu
valu.es greater than ten thousand dol
lars annually and simply for profit.
Customers, like sheep, are gregari
ous and flock where they see others
go. If nobody elso were engaged in
the sftme business, it would bo impor-1
taut ID -tradesmen and dealers to . ad
vertise in the papers, because people
are tempted to buy what they read of.
But others are engaged in the same
business, and even if they do not ad
vertise, it becomes the more important
for you to do so; if they do advertise
it becomes doubly important Anon.
An exchange says that sweet pota
toes can be kejjt all winter by packing
them in dry sand and storing them

A Friendly Word to Those
-
Who Write for the Press. The
Jackson Ohio Standard contains the
following xxceflent advice, which it
would be well for all who write for
the newspapers to heed: - - --
Do not write with a pencil. Use
good ink, and write 011 only one side
of the paper. The reason for this is,
that otieu two or three printers set up
the same article, and they cannot di
vide it when written on both sides.
If you cannot punctuate correctly, do
not attempt it. It is very trouble
some (0 come to a () at every few
words, and especially at the end of a
sentence. Do not uso the character
&, but write it out, "and". Do not ab
breviate, but write out every word
in full. We can abbreviate where
necessary.
Please observe these rules in future.
Get Ready.

the number of acres, and the amount
of each crop raised during the year,
ending June 30, next. Those who
were called upon before will doubtless
remember the difficulty in making up
an accurate report of the various crops.
As these reports will be called for in
June, it will be necessary to give In
the crops gathered in this fall. The
suggestion that we would now make
is, that cultivators write down, while
fresh in mind, the number of acres un
der cultivation, the'.number of acres cf
each kind, the amount per acre, and
the gross amount. The milk product
also, and t-he amount of pork, beef,
etc., will also be,askeil for, as well as
all kinds of fruit, etc. -Chil. Adv.

U. S. Revenue Stamps, and How
to Use Them.
Though wo have for some time been
living under tho rule ,o .stamps,, the
question is otic of every day asking:
"How much of a stamp does it re
quire?" The following embrace, we
think, the most general use of stamps
as applied to'manufacturers and par
ticular olasses of btisMnces Ihat pay a
special tax:
All notes and evidences of debt, five
cents on each $100; if under . 8100, five
eente; if over $100, five cents on each
6100 or part thereof. All receipts for
any amount, without limit, over 20,
two cents; if under $20 nothing
Checks of any amount, two-cents. All
deeds and deeds of trust; fifty cents' on
each $500 in value of the property con
veyed or the amount secured; when a
deed of trust is fully stamped the note
secured need not be; but they should
be endorsed lo show tho reason why.
Mortgage bonds need not be stamped
if 9ta.'inps are affixed to tho mortgage.
All the appraisements, estates, or es
trays, five cents on each piece of pa
per. Affidavits of every 'description
are exempt from stamp duty;" Ac
knowledgments to deeds, etc., are al
so exempt. Contracts and agree
ments, five cents for each sheet or
piece of paper, except for -rents, or
when for rent, fifty cents each $300 of
rent or less; it over 5300, fifty cents
for each additional $200, or fractional
part thereof in excess of $300. : Any
person interested can affix and cancel
stamps.

The National Finances.
Receipts from Customs and Internal
Revenue thu3 far, during this month,
have not been as large as for tho-cor-responding
timeJast month, and it is
thought by Tteamiry- Officials that the
total at the end of the month will
show a decrease from both sources.
Expenditures this month, however,
have not been very ' heavy, and the
public debt statement, to be issued the
15th of November, will show a con
siderable decrea-e.
On the 1st of November $25,84(5.000
in coiu will be required to pay the
somi-anuual interest on th'e 5-20 bonds
The Treasury has now on hand about
$34,000,000 in coin,- $25, 000,000 in
coin certificate, and about $8,000,000
in currency. After the payment M the
drafts required for interest over 50,

more will be required for the payment

"Death in the Lamp."
Is the heading of an articlo in the
Friend's Intelligencer, which gives
much information about the care of
the present illuminating substances
noV Vended ; giving many Instances
in proof of their danger, and affirm
ing that a large proportion of the pa
tients admitted to the city hospitals
are sufferers by the explosion of kero-
senelamps. It gives a-really fearful
picture of the actual dangers that we
incur in the u-se of the oil now sold,
and tiflii ms that there is no safe .Oil in
the markef. A test is given by which
theYnost dangerous oil can be ascer
tained at once. That is apply a
lighted match to a small quantity in
a saucer." Any oil that can be light
ed with a match, should be condemned
at once; and every retail vencVr who
does not intelligently apply this easy
test, before selling the oil, is guilty of
a negligence which the people ought
to be slow to pardon.
Change. Change is written on
everything. Scioto, Lawrence, Gallia,
Meigs, Vinton and Jackson sent six
Democrats to the last Legislature. To
the next Legislature they will send
eight Republicans.

A newspaper correspondent quotes
a Thames oarsman as saying: "It
under ordinary circumstances, I were
asked to pick out a racing crew, I
should have less reference to muscle
than to faith and perseverance. I
would never select a man who would
feel discouraged because things look
ed a little dark; give mo a m:.n who
can row a losing race; one faint heart
in a boat would spoil any crew."
Good philosophy. that, at.d ns good
everywhere else as on the Thames.
Men who can row a losing race, they
are the men that every good work
wants. Such men win when they
lose. -
Joph Biilings says: "Mackerel in
