Mable, the five year old daughter of Mr. aud Mrs. Heeker while playing iu the kitchen, as Mrs. Heeker was getting dinner in some manner upset a pot of hot coffee, the liquid covering ber face aud breast scalding ber IU a frightful manner. medical assistance was secured, but it was impoesile to overcome the eflects ot the burn, mid the child died after a painful eXH?iience Wednesday night. The grand Jury failed to ictuiu a true bill iigainst A'. F. rlt.iwe, thus re leasing him from custody. This action was due, not to u lack of cvlrletiee, for his wrong doing was evident, but for the purpose of giving the defendant one more cbunee of r .-fomiaiioii. By (be aid of a tew benevolent gentlemen, .bonds were obtained a lew day before cofirl; aud by the help nf other kindly disposed persons, sulllccut money was raised to re-iuiluiise Mr. J. Ibarlng, whose money hail licen appropriated by Mr. tilovve. No mall, wllhin the memory of the ol.test Inhabitant, has ever been helped so often und so gen erously as bus been this man, and but tew have shown so little gratitude. Drink bus brought him within the shodow ofu felou's cell; and, unless he speedily reforms, drink will yet make him a felon. We hope that this lesson an dearly bought, will prove to biui a lasting warning and be the means of opening before him a successful aud honorable career. The grand Jury did not Indict either Walter Bass or William liayt both of whom were suspected of being the parties who robbed Joe Buhl. It is commonly rumored that the jury were strongly Impressed with the guilt of the dfeuduuts,but doubted the State's ability to secure a conviction ou the evidence obtainable. The crime of which these men were suspected is a. most dastardly one, und the vuilty parlies should be severely punished. This is hut one of the several crimes oouimitted in this neighborhood, aud yet no man has been mude to suffer lor his guilt. The arm of the law seems powerless protect totheooinmuulty aud the efforts of our best citizens are un availing. If tills tiling continues, a lynching party will i e the result;und, If the guilty party Is the victim, but few regrets will follow. No man la safe with criminals at large. Murder and robber, burglary and theft, in this county should demand the prompt aud vigorous action of the authorities. Peo pi uud Ihelr property deniund pruteo tm fli'l MS I PIED, Ex-County Clerk N. P. Payne died ut his home near Albany, last Salun day morning at three o'clock, after an illness extending over several years, with Bl ight's disease of the kidneys.

C. a few miles from Albany, which he has since owned and occu pied, except during his recent resi dence of four years In Albany. Id 1890 he was elected county clerk, a position he tilled with ability and his popularaity icsullcd In bis re-election In 1892. Lust year he retired from the office and returned to his farm. He was r member of the Corinthian I.odgt of Masons and was an exemp lary citizen, u true husband and father. For a good many years he was prom inent in the Orange in w hich lie al ways labored for the best interests of I lie funnel's. He leaves a wife and ten chlldred to mourn his death.

BARN BURNED. Last Friday evening about 8 o'clock many of our citizens noticed a fire due west of this place, w hich was supposed to be a dwelling on Are; but the next day it was learned that it was the barn of Mr, H. L. Lrissell. The cause of the fire is unknown, but the most plnusahle theory Is, that It was the work of tramps M r. Laasell does not smoke, nor had not had a light near baru. Mr. Lassell says that it was only forty minuts from the time he was at the barn till it was discovered to be on Are. When discovered, the whole lu- alde of the structure waa in flames, and It was impossible to go near it. The loss I besides the barn was: nine head of horses, one single buggy, carriage, 300 busbclB of graiu and about eleven tons of bay w ith harness and other farm implimente. The total loss will amount to about $2500, on which there was only 1400 insurance. Practical Education. Prof. C. H.

' Mr. Montague's Lsctura, As the Exi'hbhs promised in Its last Issue, Mr, Moiitaugue'a lecture on Scotland proved to be a rloh treat. lue spacious nan at me Academy waa well filled. In order that the large audience might be comfortably seated before the lecture begun, Prof. Handle pleasantly exhibited and explained the beautiful new designs on the stage curtains, a work of consider able artistic skill. The sweet lingers of Lebanon rendered several dilHcult and beauti ful songs. The lecturer was introduced and was received with much enthusi asm. He at once began to unfold, in chaste and eloquent language, the thrilling history of Scotland, among whose rugged yet beautiful hills he was reared. He touched upon her legends, the dawn of Ik r history, with a charm that captivated his audiuiice, and threw into bis story a pathos that was irrcaiatable. Passlog briefly over her unauthentic history, he began to tell, with remarkable familiarity, of her recorded history, in words so simple, vet so beautiful, that his audience was instructed while it waa immensely pleased. He vivioly nar rated the history of Bruce, his mis fortune and his triumphs, of Walluce and his heroic deeds and tragic death, of Macbeth immortalized by Shake speare, and of other famous and In famous characters In the life of this truly wonderful people. With the grace and eloquence of a tragedian, he quoted fumiliar lines from Shakespeare and Scott, bearing upon these great men.. His entire discourse might well be published in full aud we regret that our space will not permit it. - Without intruding to flatter the speaker, we will be permitted to add that his ac curate knowledge of Scotland's history and his charming eloquence enabled him to deliver au address the superior of which we have never heard. Canada. We feel under obligations to make a few remarks hi reply to an item which appeared iii last issue of the Express. It seems the "Acorn Shell" item fit pretty well. Ii is all true anyway, aud if. the shoe fits you, wear it. No, your Sunday school, prayer meeting and class meetings were not men tioned iu connection with the League, as I suppose "Sinner" had not heard of auy one who wished to attend, being denied the privilege of attending any of your meetings, except tbe League. You need not try to crawl back in your shell and deny having told the sinners they were not welcome at your League, because you did politely in vite them to remain elsewhere. As for what our friend, Yang Tse Kiang, says in regal d to the dance not long since, we would Infer, be was either not present or else does not cure to tell the exact truth. Which ever it" may be, he baa gratly misrepresented things. It is true there was a little disturbance created by some who were strangers lu our community; still we think the dance was more of a credit to tbe neighborhood, than the way some (who term Ibemselveschrisliuiis) conduct themselves at Buttle Ridge. As for that being the lust of the dances in the vaclnlty of good old Battle Ridge; we would kindly inform you that we Have no intention of giving up our favorite amusement as the dance is the only place where the poor sin ner is welcome to come, as the good people of Battle Ridge are so weak in their faith they are afraid to mingle with tbe outside world. Now we do not mean to cast any slur on religion i t all; far from it. We only refer to the way in which the reins are held at Battle Ridge. Hoping Ynng-Tse-Klang will experience great pleasure in shedding those model christians, (we do not include all) we thank him for l:is good opinion of us, und to gratify the curiosity of our noble friend Yang-Tse-Kiaiig, wo will kindly In form him that "Sinner" was not present at the dance. At Battle, Ridge they have a League. A private one they say. I guess it must be so; for I know sinners are In vited to stay away. Sinneb. Sweet Home Items. School closed at Foster lust Friday. W. H.
