FIRE!
CAPT. AMEN'S BARN COMPLETELY
DESTROYED.
Supposed to be the Work of
an Incendiary.
At ten minutes after 10 o'clock last Sat
urday night, our citizens were startled by
an alarm of fire, and a bright light in the
vicinity of the M. E. church, and many
thought at first that the church was in
flames, but it proved to be Capt. Samuel
Amen's barn, at the rear of his lot adjom-
ng the church lot.
The Fire company turned out promptly,
and in precisely eight minutes after the
first tap of the bell, they had the engine at
the cistern in front of the church, and were
playing on the flames. Although the fire
had burst through the roof before it was
discovered, the two strong streams of wat
er soon quickly subdued the flames, and
had the supply of water not given out, the
lower part of the stable might have been
saved. As it was, the cistern was pumpted
dry in a few minutes, after which the en
gine was removed to the cistern at the cor
ner of High and Walnut streets, which was
also emptied. It was then taken to the
cistern at the corner of South and East
streets, which was also emptied.
Although there was a stable adjoining
Mr. Amen's, it was not burned, and none
of the buildings in the neighborhood were
damaged. The stable was full of hay and
other feed, and contained a horse and two
buggies, several sets of harness, &c, which
were all saved, through the efforts of Dr.
Hoyt, Capt. Evans, Marshal McConnaugh-
ey, Jos. Ellifritz, and a few others, who
were among the first to arrive at the scene
of the conflagration.
The fire originated in the hay mow, and
Mr. Amen is positive it was the work of
an incendiary, as none of his family had
been in the stable since 5 o'clock in the af
ternoon, when his son went down to feed.
Mr. Amen estimates his loss at about
$600, with no insurance.
The firemen deserve credit for their
prompt action, but all the efforts of the
best firemen in the world would be of no
avail, without a supply of water. If a
large fire were to break out it might sweep
the whole town, and could not be checked
for want of water. With the exception of
the two large cisterns at the public square,
there is scarcely any water at all. There
are quite a number of cisterns scattered
through the town, but they hold only a few
barrels of water each, and can be empt
ied in from five to ten minutes.
The town authorities should give the
matter their immediate attention, and take
some steps to insure an ample supply of
water in case of fire.
We are indebted to Mr. Ben. Johnson
foreman of the News office, for a New Or
leans Daily Times, of .the 17th, sent to his
wife by a friend in that city. It contains
over a column and a half of acknowledg
ments of money received from the North,
East and West, by the Howard and vari
other oenevoicnt associations ol that
city, for the relief of the yellow fever
sufferers.
Indencent Language.
On Thursday night of last week Mark
Thomas, colored, in company with three
colored women, went down the railroad
track, using some very improper language.
affidavit was filed against him the next
morning by Mr. John I. Young, colored,
and Thomas was arrested and taken before
Mayor Beeson, who fined him $2 and costs,
and gave him a talking to, warning him to
conduct himself properly in the future.

Lost Pocketbook.
Last Friday night, Dr. McCafferty, ex
press messenger on the M. & C. Eailroad,
went into the water-closet of the Kramer
House, and took a pocket-book containing
$60 out of his pocket and laid it on
sill. When he left he forgot to pick it
again, and never thought of it until 9
o'clock the next morning,when he was on the
train at Loveland. He immediately tele
graphed to Col. Cook, but the pocket-book
could not be found, and up to this writing,
(Monday) no trace of it has been discovered.
"Moral Causes of Drunkenness."
As announced in our columns last week,
Temperance meeting Sunday afternoon,
led by Mr. A. Manning, and addrrsse
Judge Thompson, on the "M ral Causes
Drunkenness." The Hall was Conffort-
ahly filled with an intelligent audience, the
tage was handsomely decorated with flow
and the music, furnished by the mem
bers of the different church choirs, was ex
cellent.
Judge Thompson spoke nearly an hour,
making an able and stirring address. He
held the close attention of his audience,
all were favorably impressed. He
came down heavily on "hereditary drunk
enness," and denounced the doctrine as false
believed no man was doomed to be a
drunkard, but brought it on himself by his
indulgence, and asked why were there
more drunken vmien, if the love of al
cohol was hereditary ?
He believed the principal moral causes
drunkenness to be the avarice of the liq
uor seller, and on the part of the drink
ers, debt, disappointed ambition, jealousy,
idleness ic. He took np each cause sepa
rately, and clearly showed how it led to
drunkenness, illustrating his arguments in
most eloquent language.
A fine vein of humor ran through the
address, which frequently called forth en
thusiastic applause, and we regret that we
not able to give a complete synopsis of
Our County Infirmary.
We glean the following facts from the
emi-annual reports of the directors of the
County Infirmary to the County Commis
sioners, for the year ending Sept. 6, 1878:
Total Expenditures $ 4714 47
Total Receipts 677 44
Net Expenditures 4037 03
In the above account there was expend
ed outside during the year, for the relief of
paupers in the various townships in the
county, $1918.47, making the total expenses
for the year for the Infirmary proper,
$2118.56.
Number of inmates Sept. 6, 1878, 36 ;
males 19, females 17.
It will be seen from the above figures,
that the amount expended outside the in
stitution, is almost equal to the total ex
penses for the year, which gives evidence
that the directors are making a proper dis
tribution of the county fund, and doing all
in their power to relieve the needy of the
county, whether they arc inmates of the
Infirmary or not, for which they are to be
commended and sustained by the public.
Horse Stealing.
Mr. John H. Adams passed through this
place Sunday afternoon, going south, in
search of a horse that was stolen from his
pasture, about a mile from Ccnterfield, on
Saturday night.
The police saw a man pass through
town on horse-back about two o'clock Sun
day morning, going towards Newmarket
and as the horse answered pretty well to
the description of the one stolen from Mr.
Adams, he started south to see if he could
get any trace of it.
i.o. oince me aoove was in tvpe we
I ' f . . 1 .
learn that the horse Was recovered Sunday
evening near New Petersburg, by Mr. Dan.
Anderson, of Centerficld, who was out
hunting for it. The horse was found in
the road, and it is supposed to have been
been ridden by some one and turned loose.
Of course the horse which Mr. Adams fol
lowed towards the river was not his.
Cutting Affray.
Two young colored boys named Fleni.
Johnson and Billy Day, got into a difficul
ty on East Main street last Monday night,
which resulted in Day cutting Johnson on
the arm with a knife, inflicting a flesh
wound two and one-half inches in length.
Policeman Willett arrested Dav, and lodg
ed him in the calaboose, and he was
brought before the Mayor Tuesday morn
ing, but as he is only fourteen years of age
and Johnson's wound is not dangerous, the
Mayor did not fine him, but kept him
locked up for a while to teach him not to
be so reckless with his knife in future.

D. F. Wilberforce's Lecture.
At City Hall, Wednesday night, was well
attended, and although the admission
was only 10 cents, the receipts were over
$20. He has changed his mind about re
turning to Africa in October, and will prob
ably not go until the latter part of Novem
ber. His lecture was quite interesting, and
exceedingly well delivered. He handled
the subject, "Africa," as only a native
could, and the idols, charms, agricultural
implements, weapons and other curiosities
he exhibited, were viewed with much in
terest. All who were present were much
pleased, and learned something of African
manners and customs. Mr. Wilbcrforce
will probably return here and deliver an
other lecture before he sails for his native
land. As many of our citizens could not
attend his locture last week, on account of
the prayer meetings at the various churches,
we hope, should he return, he will have a
crowded house.
Twenty-Fourth independent
Battery, O. V. L. A.
Battery, O. V. L. A. HILLSBORO, O., Sept. 9, 1878.
Mr. Editor: I see that Hon. James
H. Thompson, of this place, has written
and published a History of Highland Coun
ty; and in looking over the list of military or
ganizations accre'lited to the county during
the rebellion, the 24th Battery has been en
tirely ignored or lorgotten, winch 1 think
is a great over-sight and neglect, that docs
the battery and its friends a very great in
justice, and makes the history of the coun
tr very incomplete.
Now, Mr. Editor, if you will be so kind
as to allow me a small space in your valua
ble paper, I will, in a plain and unvarnished
way, give a short and incomplete history
of the organizatioa and services of the bat
tery, which justice to it demands at mv
hands by reason of Mr. Thompson's failure
to notice it in his history of the county
Early in the Spring of 1863, when others
were trying to get the appointment, Gov.
lot! placed sufficient confidence in the pa
triotism and ability of Capt. J. L. Hill, a
poor clerk of Hillsboro, Ohio, without any
thing or anybody to recommend him but
his former services in the 60th Ohio Eegi
ment, saw fit to appoint him with full pow
er to recruit and organize the 24th Inde
pendent Battery, O. V. L. A., at a time
when the success of the Government looked
extremely dark and gloomy, and when en
listments throughout the State had almost
entirely stopped. Capt. Hill accepted the
honored appointment, and secured the as
sistance of Lieutenants James W. Gamble
and James J. lirown, and a few others,
went to work with a will to recruit men
for the battery, and with hard work and
perseverance, with but little assistance
from outside of those who joined the bat
tery and afterwards participated in its hon
ors and hardships!
The battery, on the 4th day of August,
1S63, at Camp Dcnnison, Ohio, was mus
tered into service of the United States bv
Capt. J. L. Porter, U. S. A. Mustering Offi
cer, with more than a full complement of
young men from a great many of the best
families of Hillsboro and Highland coun
ty, Ohio, calling it Hill s Highland Bat-
terv.
The battery, after receiving its equip
ments, consisting of six No. 10 Eodman
guns, with all appurtenances belonging,
and 110 horses, was ordered by General J.
L. Cox, then commander ot the JNorthern
Department, to Pendleton Barracks, Cin
cinnati, Ohio, where it remained until the
latter part of November, 1863, when it re
turned to Camp Dennison, and in a few
days was ordered to report to the comman
der of the force at Johnson's Island, near
Sandusky City, Ohio, where it remained
guarding the entrance to Sandusky Bay un
til February, 1H64, when by request of
Capt. Hill, General Heintzelman, the com
mander of the Northern Department, order
ed him to select a Camp for the battery on
the main land near Sandusky City, which
he did, about two miles east of the city a
beautiful grove well adapted for the pur
pose, which was named in honor of the
commander of the battery, Camp Hill.
During the month of Februarv, 18G4, the
battery left Johnson's Island and Cedar
roint, went into Lamp Hill, which was laid
off into regular streets, good wall tents
with good pine floors, were put up in reg
ular form, and niinfature front yards were
laid out, sodded and beautified with flowers
and evergreens, and fences made with wil
boughs or branches in a variety of
shapes and forms, according to the tastes
and genius ot the occupants of the sever
al tents, which gave the camp a most beau
tiful and picturesque appearance, and
which was acknowledged by all who saw it
(and they were counted by thousands) the
neatest and most beautiful military camp
they ever saw ; which camp was occupied
and enjoyed by the battery and visited by
hundreds of citizens of Sandusky and vi
cinity until about the first of August, 1864,
when the battery was ordered to report to
the commander at CampChase,near Colum
bus, Ohio, where it stayed only a short
time.
About the latter part of August, 1864,
Captain Hill received secret orders to re
port as soon as possible to the commander
Camp Douglass, near Chicago, His.
During that (Saturday) night they broke
camp, marched to the railroad depot near
Columbus, O., where an extra train was
in waiting. The batterv was loaded and
on its way to Chicago by day-break next
morning. 1 he next day (Monday) about
noon landed at Chicago, unloaded the bat
tery and marched through the city to
Camp Douglass and reported to General J.
15. tiweet, commander of the post, forduty.
The General was taken very much by sur
prise, he not having been advised of the
battery's coming until the Captain reported
person, and no one can imagine the joy
and pleasure he manifested when he realiz
ed that the batterv had come to assist him
with his little band of veteran reserve to
guard and keep secure the fourteen or fif
teen thousand of rebel prisoners enclosed
ltmn a plank fence not more than an inch
thick.
The batterv remained, doing varied du
ties as the Government and commander of
the post required of it until the, close of the
war and peace declared, when it was order
ed by the Secretary of War to Camp Dcn
nison, Ohio, where the battery was born and
grew into manhood ; and on the 24th day
of June, 1865, it was honorably mustered
out of service and returned to their wel
come homes in Hillsboro, and the old coun
ty of Highland, where they were received
by their numerous friends and relatives,
feeling well satisfied that they had done
theit duty nobly and well.
And now, in conclusion, let me say to the
many friends of the 24th Independent Bat
tery, O. V. L. A., and also in justice to
nearly 200 of its members, although the
battery was never engaged in active service
but nobly done its duty well, it never falt
ered, but obeyed and executed all orders is
sued to it to the general satisfaction of all
the numerous commanders under which it
was placed. No other independent milita
ry organization, either regimental or bat
tery, within the great State of Ohio, ever
received more complimentary orders or
higher honors from those higher in author
ity than the 24th Independent Battery O.
V. L. A.
The battery was under the command of
such Generals as J. D. Cox, Terry, Heint
zelman, Sa vior, Sweet and others of small
er note, and frequently received from them
complimentary orders of its officers and
men on their fine appearance, soldierly
bearing, good discipline and efficency in
drill. After a review of the battery at
Camp Douglass by Gen. Joe. Hooker, just
before the muster out, the General met
Capt. Hill at the door of the office at head
quarters (where the Captain had gone to
call on him), took his hand in both of his,
grasping it, saying : "Captain, you have
the oest appearing battery I have ever
seen."
The battery numbered about 200 officers
and men, representing almost every part
Highland county, whose families repre
sented some of the very best in Highland
county.
It was the only complete independent
military organization raised and accredited
Highland county during the war; and
how Mr. Thompson, the historian of the
county, could overlook or forget that such
organization had ever existed, is more
than I can tell.
I think that the majority of the good
people of the county were and are now proud
know they were so well represented by
such a battery organization during the war.
I now close by hoping and trusting that
the future historian will do the justice at
least of mentioning the 24th Independent
Battery, O. V. L. A., as a part of the mili
tary organizations of Highland county dur
ing the late rebellion. Yours,

Home Correspondence.
A Card from Sheriff Newell.
Mr. Editor: The reporters, in their re
port of the recent attempt to break jail,
have done the keeper great injustice. In
the first place the reporter for the Hills
boro Gazette says : "Our vigillant .Sher
iff permitted Mackey and Lynch to use
their saw-mill a week before they were
discovered."
I know this to be untrue. They commenc
ed operations about Wednesday, as I awoke
at 2 o'clock, and hearing an unusual noise,
got up and made an examination, but
could not see or hear anything wrong. On
Thursday night, I was awake all ni'!;
but all seemed quiet. On Friday nipht
having lost much sleep, I did not awake
until after day-light, went into the cell at
once, and made the discoverv, and am sat
isfied they did the greater part of the work
en rriuay night, and it would have re
quired another night's work for them to have
eilected their escape at all. So you will
see the statement that they had been at
work for a week is not true, and that I
aid exercise some vigilance.
As for the charge, that Tom. Dick and
Harry, and any body and everybody, have
uecii jttri milieu iu go inio ine jail ana laiK
to the prisoners, that is false, as no one is
permitted to visit the prisoners or talk to
them unless in the presence of some of the
jail attendants. e have been verv care
ful in the matter of visiting the jail, have
Dcen very caretui to see that none ot -Mack-ey's
or Lynch's friends had an opportunity
to give them tools to work with. I think
they were handed through the window from
the outside.
As for Kendall, the horse thief, he has
never made an attempt to break lail at all.
The iron bar the reporters speak of, as
having been sawed, was cut in one place
years ago, and was sawed by some thieves
confined during the Fair. It would have
required many such cuts to have restored
Kendall to light and liberty.
During the time I have had charge of the
jail, 1 have had in my custody one hundred
and twenty-one prisoners,and hardly a week
passes but that some of them attempts to
break jail, and the public knows that the
only successiul attempts that have been
made were made during my absence from
the jail and from town.
I do not object to the visits of newspaper
men, but I want them to report the truth
and do the keeper ol thejailjustice. Hop
ing that the editors and reporters will
"give us a fair count" in the matter,
I am yours truly, W. C.NEWELL,
Sheriff and Jailor.

Letter from Marysville, O.
MARYSVILLE, O., Sept. 15, 1878.
Ed. News: Another week will
complete my three months' trip
work and eight-seeing. It is not
likely that many of your readers will
follow my example, and make a trip
to Lake Chautauqua and other points
of interest by private conveyance,
and I thiuk mine the only record
yon will be called to make of such
a heroic trip. Yet I have enjoyed
it very much. It has been remu
nerative in many ways ; besides, 1
have "dined 6umrjtuousIy every
day." The "fat of the land" has
been at mv command. Peaches of
the finest quality, grapes and mel
ons, and all things else needful for
the "inner man," are laying around
loose in all directions wherever I
have been.
And it does not require any great
stretch of the imagination to see
"good times" in the near future. I
believe they are coming, in fact are
almost at our doors. And why not?
The bountiful crops are moving, the
great trunk lines of railways are
almost blockaded with freight, being
months behind in the shipment both
East and West; the balance of trade
in our favor ; resumption almost ac
complished, confidence being restor
ed, and why should we not expect
real prosperity to reign throughout
the country under these circumstan
ces ? And why should partisans
dare to disturb the present order of
things? Are they not afraid that
the Republican party will have the
credit of a sound financial policy,
which willl ead them to victory, and
spoil the chances of the Dsmocracy ?
Shall we not deal justly ? Shall we
not have an honest dollar? Should
not the Nation, a3 well as individ
uals, be honest? If the law makers
will only quit "doctoring" the finan
ces, industry and economy will com
plete the work of restoring good
times.
A very sad and sensational .
SUICIDE.
occurred here on Friday last A
young Swiss, by the name of Gross
enback, 23 years of age, a druggist
by profession, was engaged to be
married about the first of August to
an estimable young lady of this
place, who suddenly sLkened and
died. The young man was deeply
affected, and for sometime was men
tally deranged, but rallied, and was
thought to be getting along well :
but last Friday be went to the house
of Mr. King, the father of the young
ladv, said he had the headache and
wanted to go up stairs and lie down
on Dora's bed. He did so, and in a
very short time Mrs. King went up
to the room and found him dead.
He had taken Prussic acid and died
almost instantly. He left a letter,
giving directions about the funeral,
his remains to be placed beside those
of Miss King and a monument erect
ed to both.
A large concourse of people assem
bled at the M. E. church to witness
the funeral exercises. W. F. C.
Dickey at Batavia.
Clermont Courier: The Hon.
Dickey must have gone away from
Batavia with no very favorable im
pression in a political point of view.
His coming had been announced
through the Democratic press, and
by posters many. Lnclo Ike Potter
for his share, or for pay, had tramp
ed from door to door in an effort to
draw a crowd, but though the night
came and Dickey came and Jim Gor
don, correspondent of the Enquirer,
came, scarely no one eise except
Dale, Koudebush, and Frank Acra
put in an appearance at the Court
House. Last Wednesday was a sor
ry night for Batavia Democracy. It
was apparent that their very bad lo
cal record had so far influenced the
mind of the masses who had before
prided and gloried in Democracy that
they had determined not to honor
their Congressional leader by their
presence. There were a few Repub
licans present, some of whom soon
left saying they had heard that same
speech so often that they now felt no
interest in hearing it repeated. Oth
ers complained that the word ha d
been sent to them by Democrats that
there was to be a Republican speech
at the Court House, and that they
had been deceived. This was wick
ed in these Democrats. But in these
times no greater wrong among Dem
ocrats is regarded lightly by those
who knew them best. This was
Dickey 8 first visit to Batavia, it will
be his last for many a day. His
speech was as above intimated very
moderate and common place. He
would make greenbacks equal to and
interchangeable with gold. Sowould
we. He would do any thing which
the wisdom of Congress might sug
gest in the way of legislation to keep
greenbacks equal to gold coin, and
even vote to increase the volume. At
this point being admonished that he
had talked too long, he closed with
out telling the few present anything
more than that the Lower House was
in great danger of falling into Re
publican hands, to which the Repub
licans present responded amen, and
the squad at the Court House ad
journed, impressed that McKnight
will "Walk" over the track in this dis
trict.

In his place in the "United States
Senate in December, 1S74, Senator
Thurtnan gave the following reasons
for the existence of our late monetary
troubles, together with the proper
remedy therefor :
'The panic was the result of over
trading and extravagance, until at
last the bubble burst, and then came
a season of retrenchment and econ
omy. In the history of this country
it h is been shown that the business
of t'ue country never revives in a less
penod than four years after a pan
ic. Nothing but time, honesty, econ
omy and retrenchment will set
business in motion and make the
country prosperous. Tinkering at
our financial system will never ac
complish the result"
This was before Senator Tbuiman
had embraced the "Ohio idea", and
had consented to becme a dema
gogue in the hope of becoming Pres

Soldiers' Orphans' Home have given
out that they will not obey the law
