The full particulars we bave not got, but from what we can leara a young man by the name of Samuel Bogart assaulted a young married woman named Todd, who resides on a farm near the village, and her brother, who was in the field near, hearing her screams, ran to her assistance, and during the scrimmage ^Mrhich followed young Bogart shot the body. The man now lies in a critical condition with but little hopes of bis recovery. Bogart was arrested and is now In Woodstack Jail. If the c renin stances are as we heard them the latter pro­ ceeding was evidently a mistake. Six foot of rope and the nearest tree would bave been the best remedy. This would have saved expense and en a sure guarantee that be did not go crazy hereafter. THERE is no definition of joornaiism that may not have Its exceptions.

Some men, professing to be agents for a New York company, have been working northw<>8t of this city. They secured a contract from Charles Johnson to pnt rods on his barn, ofier- Ing at fir«t to'do the work for thirty- five dollar*. They finally agreed to do the work for seven dollars and a half. After the work was 'done, the contract turned Into a note (so we are told) for one hundred and five dollars. Mr. Johnson protested and refused to pay It, and the men said It be did not they would make lt oost him two hundred and fifty dollars. The same men had previously tried to Inveigle L. V. Heywood Into the scheme, buTdld not succeed, though they ottered him ten dollars in cash to sign the contract to pay fix dollars to have the rods put up as they wanted to get started In the neighborhood. Heywood didn't bite. Their Scheme Is for one man to con- taact to put up so many feet or rods for so much money, and all over the specified nnmber or feet to be paid for extra at seventy five cents a root. In this way they can run up a bill of almost any amount on a man. The fine print in the contract Is about the same as a promissory note. After the con­ tract is made, a second man comes along and puts up the rods. Jam;s Keiley, west of town on the rlyer road, made a cbntract for tbem to repair his rods for three dollars and a half and so many feet of rod. He saw them putting up about fifty extra feet of rod, and ordered them off. The man quit work, but attacked Mr. Keiley with a hammer, knocking him down and Injuring him severely. The man who used the hammer escaped, but, after some words, his associates gave back the contract to Mr. Keiley. We have advised oar readers again and again to have nothing to do with strangers who offer them something for nothing, and especially not to sign a contracts.

The editor and newspaper publisher certainly does more work ror less morey aban any other man on the race or the globe. He never does anytbirg as well as half his patrons could do it. His best friend seemingly will go square back on him (which is easily done) becuase of some suppressed mis­ treatment. Then said editor loses confidence in man. says everybody is for self, and friendship Is a farce. But oh, how his heart does throb when he tries a man and finds him true as steel aud one who Is willing to acknowledge that yon have some right to run youra business even It you do not see as he does. This life is made up of offenses and pardons. In the eye of many the editor commits all the offenses, and if he can find one of these fellows with a forgiving spirit he almost worships him.

Eider Cessna preached from the words of Joshua "What mean these stones." Such a sermongit has never been our fortune to listen to. He drew a picture of the firing or the first gun at Fort Sumpter, and or the spontaneous uprising or the people, or the marches, Hospitals sod Prison lire and of battle scenes, until sobs re­ sounded from every part or the house. Old soldiers who almost never attend church, or woep, bowed their heads and were oompietely convulsed with emotion. The children present ipost have received Impressions or love and patriotism that will go with them throughout their lives. Elder Cesna has made such an impression upon the hearts or the old veterans of this place as will not be effaced. Every where we hear the sermon spoken or as a grand eflort. He has been Invited to repeat the sermon at the Congrega­ tional church. In Crystil Lake, on next Sabbath Many will go rrom here to enjoy It again.

Hook. > • • « PLATFORM ECHOES* • "* •v•' "fSi' -vf, ? -• • ' . . y This new and splendidly Illustrateil volume is the last book written by tbe world fauiou» John B, Gough, and was completed by him ju*t previous to lils death. Every one is familiar with the story of his early life, and of his (rescue from a drunkard's grave, a.id how this once wretched and despised sot be- came ont of ttie most famous men of out time. For seven years he stood anjid the horrors of delirium tremens, ao abjec: slave to the bottle; and his condition and wretched uppearance were sdeh as to . cause people to ex­ claim. "There's the mun who has been in tall." The rich and poor, 'he high, tbe low, the learned and unlearned, have been alike thrilled and moved by by Ills burniug words. He swayed brilliant audiences of royalty and fash­ ion; spoke in States prisons, jtils, poor houses, penitentiaries, reform schools, and houses of correction; to the deaf, and tluinb, and blind; to audiences composed wholly of out­ casts; and to audiences numbering thousands of children. At his teet more than ten million peop e sat and listened In admiration and wonder. In his library may be seen a set of large volumes--a tar better memorial of his life and labors than any monu tnent ol marble or bronze--containing the original signatures of one hundred and fifty thousand men and women who were induced to sign the pledge through his personal efforts. These names--many of them tear bedewed and written with trembling hand- represent stories of happiness an.l woe ar ruin and remorse, of blighted hopes and wasted lives, of battles fought and victory won. To give some of these thri ling life histories; to depict scenes of joy and sadness; to lift the curtain on life's stage and show I<s tragedy and comedy; aud to draw "living truths" from the lessons thus taught, and bring them home to every heart, Is tho prime object of this vol­ ume. It also contains the history of Mr. Gough's l>fe and career with the story of his death, by Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott, the eminent editor and divine. "Platform Echoes" is John B. Gougli in print. In It he has given to the world In permanent form his best thoughts, his most touching tales. Ills most stiring aneedotes and incidents. I• i8 most telling stories. As a story teller he tfas never been equalled. But whether he narrates a story of mirth or of sorrow, it Is always to Illustrate great aud living truths. Stranger stories are here told than romance ever dreamed of, every one of tliem drawn from real life by a master hand. In every chapter he weaves in anec­ dote after anecdote, incident after in cident. story alter story, and under ueatli them all lie ' Living Truths." that stand out as beacon Iigiirh. He plays upon tiie reader's feelings as with an enchanter's wand, atone time Ailing ids heart with gla.lnese, at an­ other blinding iiis eyes with tears. At his bidding, hearts are melted, and stern, strong men. a« well as sen«ltiv women, weep team ol compassion, are aroused to indignation or luoved to uncontrollable laughter in epite ol every eflort lo control their feel- ing*. Now that the silver ton^u* is silent, '•Platform Rdmes" Is the richest liter ary legacy of John B. 3ough. The aroma ot Ids inimitithle humor, the f« lielty of hi» descriptions, the u<lr»iii ess and skill wlilcli enabled him to captivate and ilim cap'nre hearts on both sides of the sea ar* reproduced noon these pages. I'lie orator and dinmiiilst. the philanthropist and the reformer, for he, was ail of these, are portrayed here In the freedom aud >pontanelty of autobiography. The "hook i« what its na e Indicates--re^l ' Echoes" of 'be man whase t'eath humanity mourns Its illustrations are the best that we have ever se*u. It contains two liunJred and twen'.y-seven flue en­ gravings by the best artists and en- ura 'rs :u tile world. Many of these illustrations are "too funny for an.v- thiug" while others depict wretch -d- n<s8 and woe. Sixteen of these en­ gravings are full page ones, and are magnificent specimens of art. Two hundred and nine are text illustra­ tions, There are two fine steel-plate portraits. One Is from s llle size full length pait ting, showing Mr. Gough Hg he appeared shortly after hi - rescue. The other i« from a phonograph taken just before his deaih. All In all, it is one of tlie finest over produced by the Amerlca.n press.
