upon tendering his resignation late

permanent organization be effected,
aud this political strife ended, is the

Tfce Wallace Itcrn at Opera
Ilouc .TJonduy, Jan. 5.
Poor Charley Ross! Never in the
whole range of fiction, was anything
more mystoroiis than the abduction
and concealment ot this child with
the exception of the Beeehcr-Tilton
case, ami the Nathan murder, noth
ing has so agitated the public mind
for years. The most stringent
search, conducted by the most ex
perienced detectives, has hitherto
failed in bringing this mystery of
mysteries to light, and the tragic
death of his abductors, coupled with
the confession of one of them, still
seems to bring us no nearer the end.
Truth is indeed stranger than fic
tion. Yet the story of this poor
child, which equals, if it does not
surpass the wildest romance, may, if
the facts should ever be discovered,
prove to be very similar to John
Brougham's highly sensational dra
ma or "Minnie's Luck ; or the Ups
and Downs of New York Life,"
which is now being played to
crowded houses, throughout all sec
tions of the United States, by those
brilliant and accomplished young
artists, the Wallace Sisters, Jennie
aud Maud. The heroine of the
story, who, stolen from motives of
reveiiire. iroes through a series ol
the most exciting adventures, is per
sonated by Miss Jennie Wallace,
the star of this fine troupe. Her
sweet and musical voico, and touch
ing aud interesting manner, impart
a wonderful charm to the character,
which could not be equalled by the
most experienced actress not favor
ed with her natural advantages. Her
sister, Maud, by her liveliness and
grace, and the spirit aud vim which
she throws into her specialties, is a
welcome relief to the sadder por
tions of the play. The actors who
support them are all artists of
ability, and selected regardless of
expense, from the be9t theatres in
the United States, for their particu
lar adaptation to the roles they rep
resent. After passing through a
series of mof-i intensely interesting
adventures Minnie is at length re
stored to her bereaved mother, and
to wealth and happiness. We trust
that Providence, in His own good
time, may, iu like manner, make
glad the hearts of the now desolate
parents of poor little Charley Ross.
Phil. City Item.
Attempted Suicide.
On Sunday, about half-past 12
p. m., a young lady called at one of
the city drug stores and procured a
small vial of laudanum. It being no
uncommon occurrence, the druggist
let her have it, she giving her name
as Mabel D. Martin, stating that she
nau tne tootn-acne, tor winch, com
plaint the medicine was to apply.
About 2 o'clock she returned for
more, stating that she had broken
the vial that contained the other, on
her way home. She was given an
other ounce, and she went to the
Depot and was seen drinking it. She
became stupificd, when Dr. Siggins
was called for and administered
some emetics. At (5 o'clock' in the
evening we learned she was recover
ing. It was thought she did not
tako all the laudanum, and that if
she had she would cerlainlv die,
unless habituated to its use. Wc did
not learn the cause of her strange
action, nor any further particulars.
A telegram was received last
Saturday at !):20 a. m., by Wm.
Ilunnemin, stating that Janauschek
would not be here that evening on
account of illness. Her failure to
come was a great disappointment,
but we arc glad to know that she
didn't give us the" go-by" any more
than she did Council Bluffs, Sioux
City and other places of larger pop
ulation than Columbus. If it slio'd
suit her convenience at another time
to appear in Columbus, she will be
greeted by a large audience.

County II eralil, edited and publish

neat appearance, and, what is com
meudable in its publishers, is the
fact that they neither use a patent
inside or outside, but print all their

A. TV. Lawrence's peny team ran
away from him Saturday in the
country. When they started to run
he guided them for a hay-stack to
stop them. An old hay rack lay
along side the stack, and they went
flying over that, breaking his buggy
all to pieces, and seriously injuring
his bay pony. Mr. L. has had sev
eral runaways, but this one proved
more disastrous than any before.

Blind Tom.
What Is he? An enigma, a mys
tery. A somethiug that no man can
understand, a phenomenon no liviug
man can explore. His performan
ces are astounding; they aro more
mtrvellous. What secret power,
what comprehension can there be
iu that scattered aud ill-balauced
mind that can grasp, aye, master, a
sonata of Beethoven, the immortal,
of Chopin, a rhapsody of Liszt I Yet
ho does it. That unseemly skull of
Blind Tom's envelopes a brain that
is the strangest compound of weak
ness and strength, obtuseness and
perception, imbecility and geuiii9
that every mortal man beheld.
Blind, uncouth, unnatural, incoher
ent iu thought and speech, he yet
performs great things, things that
many a bright and peuetrating mind
would aspire to in vain. No more
striking or improbable contrast
could well be imagined than the
grimacing, swaying, gesticulating
Tom that stauds waiting before an
audience, aud the masterful aud in
spired Tom seated at a piano revel
iug iu the grandeurs of rhapsody
or sonata. The subtle power, tho
erratic genius that holds sway over
him is incomprehensible. Let him
that can unravel this mystery, this
creature of impulse, this mental
phenomenon, do so. It cannot be
done. Blind Tom appeared before
a splendid audience last evening, at
tho Opera Houso, and filled a pro
gramme that rauged from To in '9
own incoherent talk to the pro
foumlcst creations of Chopin, Bee
thoven, Liszt and ether composers.
The audience laughed over his sim
plicities, and listened with bated
breath to his melodies. None would
have missed it, 110110 would miss it
again. Wonderful and inexplicable
Tom. Jacksonville III.) Journal,

IH.strlet Hfo. 1.
As slated last week, the last three
days of the term wero devoted to
examination. They wero entirely
written. Tho first grado wero ex
amined in percentage, discounting
notes aud equation of payments; iu
physiology (Dalton) in digestion and
the portal circulation ; iu algebra
from equations of tho first degree to
equations of the second degree; and
iu grammar aud natural philosophy
throughout the whole text. The
examinations were all fair, aud some
of them very superior.
The second grade were examined
in partial payments, discount and
compound interest iu review, aud
showed a thorough and masterly
acquaintance with the subjects. In
grammar and geography the stand
ings are good, and iu mental arith
metic and spelling, fair.
Owing to the crowded condition
of the schools, the third and fourth
grades havo been urged as much as
possible, aud their grading necessa
rily shows a greater diversity, but
all except one or two passed with
credit.
The third grade in interest and
partial payments, and the fourth iu
compound numbers sustained them
selves splendidly.
Tho examinations in the interme
diate department arc all creditable,
and somo of them very superior.
Below the seventh grade they were
necessarily oral, and tho results arc
equally creditable with the others.
In the primary department an oral
review took the place of the exami
nations, and showed diligent work
throughout.
The examinations wore all bro't
to an abrupt close on Wednesday
afternoon by the appearance of the
veritable Santa Clans, who made a
clandestine entrance at tho back
window of the primary department.
Word was sent to the other rooms,
aud all hands adjourned to givo him
welcome.
The enrollment for tho term in
the upper room was 50, in the inter
mediate department 75; in the pri
mary 85, making a grand total of
210. The prevalence of the diptlu
ria has reduced the attendance
greatly, and has proved fatal in
several case3.
The next term begins on Monday,
the 5th of January.
Extract from a Irivute Letter
from Doiuhvood.
December 20, 1879.
Carpenter and masons work are
nearly closed up here for the winter,
but I think there will be more or
less painting nntil spring opens
again.
It is truly astonishing to soe the
amount of building that has been
done here since the fire, aud also the
energy displayed iu tho completion
of brick buildings that were com
menced before cold weather fet in.
Whenever they can lay a brick
without the mortar freezing before
they get it on the wall, it is done.
The weather has been very cold
hero for the past three or four days,
but I do not feel it as much as I did
iu Nebraska. It is generally still.
I suppose that accounts for it.
I have no news of importance to
transmit, no stage robberies, mur
ders or anything of the kind every
thing seems to be running smoothly
and everybody attending to their
business. Yours truly,
Card ofThnnkti.
We return our most sincere thanks
to Mrs. Snell, Mrs. Bowman, Mrs.
Shannon, Mrs. Clark and other
neighbors who have shown them
selves friends indeed in the time of
the sickness of our dear children.
Their kindness will ever be remem
bered. Cham.es II. Davis,

Report of tho Louglook (Reed)
school.
On account of tho irregular at
tendance the first month, no report
was made, except an official one.
Tho irregular attendance is account
ed for in this wise; farmers always
have a great deal of extra work, on
the beginning of winter, and the
most of the scholars have had to
help in doing it.
Report first month: Number en
rolled, 19. Number present every
day during tho month, 2. Number
absent only one day during the
month, 2. Avorago daily attend
ant, in whole numbors, 12. Studies
pursued iu school, besides the gen
eral common branches, U. S. History
aud Algebra. Avorago por cent, of
deportment, in whole numbers, 99 ;
only four, of tho above numbers,
communicating in auy manner
whatover.
In tho abovo roport, there are none
ou the "Roll of Honor' The re
quirement is that each scholar must
be present every day, not tardy any,
and 100, or perfect, in deportment ;
auy communication or disturbance
t another scholar diminishes the
per cent., 0110 for each otfence. Re
port for second month: Number
enrolled duriug the mouth, 30.
Number present every day during
tho mouth, 5. Number absent only
0110 day during the mouth, 3. Av
erage daily attondauce, 20. Studies
tho same as first month. Average
per ceut. of doportment, 99 ; only C,
in this mouth, communicating, of
the above number. Roll of nouor:
Bertha Dunlap, Louie Reed and
Eddie Tompkins.

The Dead Senator.
Under the above head, some of
our exchanges speak of Scuator
Paddock, and mention as his com
petitors Van Wyck, Dundy, Nance
and Dawes. We feel like getting
up ou our modest legs to say that in
our humble opinion there is more
until in Senator Paddock than the
whole outfit. Tho recent 26,000 ma
jority says that tho next U. S. Sena
tor will be a Republican, aud we
prefer it should bo Paddock.
Tho abovo is pretty good for Pad
dock, coming from a Democratic
paper, the David City Press.
