Presently he moved closer, a sudden accident put his arm out of place, but It didn't hurt Her drooping eyas were gazing listlessly at figures on the Brussled floor, and In each curve she saw a cheerful cot tage home with gardens, mounds and lovely flow ers and a Stelnway grand. She knew what he wan'ed to say, and as she believed he had at least 11200. a yuar. she longed for hi in to cough It out, and soon he began, his nervousness soon wore off and presently be made a spurt and said "Dearest Cordelia, I have long" Cr r-r-r-r-aok I came something against the window, and Cordelia screamed "burglars," but he soon quieted her fears with the Information that It was Hallow e'en, and the boys were only having a little fun with corn.

The Are broke out in tbe upper story when no one was at hone, the family being in town at the time. Tbe flames were first discovered by Isaac Kinney about 7 o'clock, who aroused the neighborhood and saved a larger part of the contents.

Considerable money changed bands on the election of last Tuesday, not only on the general result but on tbe result in different States. A number of bets that we know of having been made on New York State, even bets that it would give a majority for Hayes against Tllden. Those who bet on the latter are easy wlnnen, as also on general results for those who bet on Samuel J. Tilden and reform. He was laid out on a cellar door Tuesday night, wrecked, dilapidated aud helpless.

From the council proceed ings we see they are very punctual In drawing their pay from the city. Under these circum stances the city have a right to their services ; but it seems one or more has been doing duty for and dancing attendance on Esquire Hhopp's court at Louisville. Are our police ready lo do duty any where in" the county? If eo, what cla'ms have they on the city of Canton T Would It not be well for our city council to take this matter Into consideration ? It may be well to as certain whethei members of our police force are serving the city, or the city merely rued to ac commodate them. It might be well to under stand some of these points. If Canton need no police, or if we have a larger force than necessa ry, let the council act accordingly. . 1 1 H , ' , There waa a number of rows last Saturday night, and we hear of one or two young men wbo were quite painfully chawed up, and sttU othen who were Jawed into meek silence.
