and tbe tenement house into I eat
and attractive cottage of modern dtsiga

To Tell Poisonous Vine.
A very little care and discrimination will
save people from being poisoned by either
sumach or ivy when wandering the woods
at a pic-nio.
If one remembers that the three-leaved
ivy is dangerous, while the five-leaved is
harmless ; that tbe sumach with the white
berries is poisonous, and the red berried
sumach not at all so indeed, the red ber
ries have an acid often enjoyed by the
write, who knows them to be harmless and
ever wholesome one need never suffer from
poisons.
Both the poison ivy and the sumach, al
though dissimilar in appearance of foliage.
have white berries growing in small slender
clusters from the axils of the leaves, and it
is of these the wanderer in the woods should
beware.

Loar Must Stand Trial.
The Westmoreland county grand jury last
Friday returned true bills against A. J. Loar
and the deputies, charged with murder of
tbe strikers at Morewood, except Stephen
Caims.
Cairn was discharged because no evidence
was nroducad to connect him with tbe
killing.
Tbe case of Loar and the other deputies
ind cted with him will be taken up for trial
daring th present term of court. There w
much excitement when it was learned that
true bills had been found, ana me coun
room was at once crowded with eager spec
tators, thinking th case would at once be
put on trial. Tbe indications are that great
interest will be manifested in the trial and
that there will be a large number of striken
preeent.

Our Ohio Letter. -ifa.
Editob ,
Having accepted a c&Il to the Lutheran
pastorate of Tippecanoe City, Ohio, my many
friends said to me, "Now write to me." I
thanked them for their interest in me, bu"
told them I could rot wri'e to each person
ally but that I would write an occasional
letter for tbe Hikalb, provided the editor
wouid print tbem.
The name " Tippecanoe " date back to
th campaign of 1S10. which explain ltseJf,
and the "city " was added to prevent ccn
f jfion with Tippecanoe, in Harrison coonty.
It is the business centre of Monroe tow nship,
Miami county. It is situated sis miles south
of Tray, the county seat, and fourteen mile
north of Dayton. The Miami and Erie Ca
nal and the C II. A P. R, R- run through
the town and afford abundant and cheap
outlets and inlets for basin-.
Through the suburb flows the waters of
the Big Miami, on their way to the tunny
south. The city possess considerable
wealth, which is not hoarded in safes, but
invested in various industrial enterprises.
Among the firms ere tbe Ford Company
Wheel Works, C Trupp 4 Co. Planing Mills
and Lumber Yard, Tippecanoe Jrurnitur
Company, Tippecanoe Whip Factory, Fall
Milling Comoany. Excelsior Works, Jai-
tress Wo-.is, and the American Straw board
Company.
These industries employ quite a number
of skilled laborers, and as a consequence in
vite other business interests to meet the va
rious demands.
Tbe residences of tbe town, in their eon-
ii -- . i -
venience in structure, as wen as men di
mensions and architectural beauty, indicate
wealth, taste and refinement. Tbey are not
crowded against each other, nor shoved out
to the last inch of available ground on tbe
street, but are set back a reasonable dis
tance, affording the finest lawns, with bed
of rich and rare Bowers in front yards, with
out any inclosure. The town is bestudded
with the finest shade trees, which are now
in full foliage, and in approaching the place
looks more like a large grove than a town,
viewed from a Pennsylvania standpoint.
We have five churches English Luther
an, German Lutheran, Methodist Episcopal,
Baptist and Roman Catholic. Having just
pitched my tent here I am not pn pared to
say much about churchliness, notwith
standing I was greeted with a full house in
my very first s-rvice. I may. however, ven
ture to say in safety, that not enough of the
young men are found in the sanctuary op
the Lord s day, as ia the case in most other
towns.
We spent Sunday, May 3rd, among our
old parishioner at St. Clairsville, Bedford
county, being the guest of our daughter. On
Monday we lefi for Pittsburgh, via Altoona,
leaving the former on Tuesday morning and
arriving here the same evening. We were
met at the depot by some of the members
and conducted to the home of Mr. Jacob
Rohrer, an old Pennsylvanian. a gentleman
of great push and energy, and connected with
the leading industrial enterprises ol mis
place. We enjoyed the most generous hos
pitality of his beautiful and magnificent
$15,000 home and luxuriant table until we
were ready to commence housekeeping
. -. . v:- 11 . V:.l t.ApfA.l
mew. tie, wiin uis eiiwi-ui, nuu-i.n
wife were so lavish in their entertainment
that we could not help feeling at borne with
them, although having so recently left the
beautiful mountain scenery of Pennsylvania
with its pure atmosphere and sweet, spark
ling waters.
The car containing our goods was await
ing us at tbe depot, which we began to un
load on Wednesday morning. Everything
having been carefully packed, we found
nothing broken. We are getting things into
shape in our beautiful, newly papered and
painted parsonage, on the corner of -Main and
Third treets, just opposite the church, al
though the sound of the tack-hammer is
still heard ; but it will soon cease its mo
notony. Salve and plasters will soon heal
the pounded thumbs, the sore knees and al
most broken backs.
Now, Mr. Editor, if yoa will print this
letter for the benefit of my many friends.
who are also your friends, I will will be very
thankful, and write again :f yoa ssy that I
shall. Hoping that yoa will be rewardVd
by adding new subscribers to the newsy
Hc&ald, which I welcome weekly to my
new Ohio home, I am.
Very Truly Yours.
