A liatlior Peculiar Lawsuit In Ohio.
, A soniealiot tenmikatile lawsuit, which
lias been pending in tlioOldlinm ntul Bhebly
circuit ooui'tH for threo years, was terniiim
t.od lnt week. The details as given by the
Courier Journal ore as follows I Two men
first cousins, iinmed 8ntn Kills .nnrt Znch
J load, owned adjoined farms near tbo
bomidiii y lino between Hlmbly and Oldham
counties. They are both men or means and
of good standing in the community. Head
owned ft fine blue-grass farm lying near
Ellis' place, which he used for a meadow.
. In tbo year of 1878 be noticed that consid
erable of tbo grass of this field was being
oaten up. He could account for It In no
- manner, as there was a high rail fence all
, around It. In riding over the field one day
be liotioed In the corner, lying near Ellis'
place, a number of cattle tracks. lie no
ticed further that Home one bad been In the
habit of laying down the fence at that point.
He determined to watch that night and Bee
if be could discover the manner In which
bis grans had been eaten up. In company
with anothor man, both being armed with
shot guns, lie lay down hi a fence corner
that night and kept watch.
About midnight they wore rewarded by
seeing two men coming up the road on
horsebnek, driving a large drove of cattle
before them. They halted the cattle near
the corner of the feucc, and one of the men
dismounted nud began to let it down.
Head could scb by tho light of the moon
that it was his cousin, Bam Ellis. He kept
uiet until the fence bad been let down to
the ground mid the cattle driven Into the
field. The two men then started to lido
away, wbou Head halted them. Instead of
stopping, they whipped up their horses and
galloped off. Head raised his gun and
tired two shots after them without however
doing any damage. At the next session of
the grand jury nn indictment was found
against Ellis, and In October, 1878, the
case came up In the Lagrange circuit court.
The jury found Ellis guilty, and fined him
$47o. He carried the case to the court of
appeals, and the decision was there revers
ed on account of some flaw in the indict
ment. Hio case was then taken to the
Shebly rourt, and there tried for the third
time. The case was again decided agaiust
Ellis, and be was fined $350. Tho caso
was fakeu to the Court of appeals a second
time, and there affirmed. While the case
was goiug on, an attempt was made to
poisou William Allen and bis son, two of
the principal witnesses against Ellis, by
putting a drachm of strychnine in a bucket
of water. Luckily, when Allon went to
take a drink be tasted the water first, and
noticing the bitter taste, examined tho
bucket and found strychnine in the bottom.
A negro named Sam Jones was arrested for
, attempting to poison them at the instiga
tion of Ellis, to prevent their testifying
against him. When the case came up be
fore the grand jury a man named Georgo
Oldoi field was brought in by Ellis to con
tradict two witnesses, and was arrested for
perjury.
lie was tried last December before the
8uebly court for perjury and sent up for a
year. At the last trial of the original caso
a man named Frank Howard was put on the
stand and swore that he was tho ouo who
turned the cattle into Head's field. He
was indicted for perjury, but made big
oscape and has not been seen since. The
case against Jones for attempting to poi
son the two Aliens was tried for the last
time on last Friday, and be waB sent to tho
the penitentiary for five years. Four dis
tinct cases grew out of tho original one,
.and it is expected that several more indict
ments for pel jury and a civil suit will bo
filed at the next meeting of the court. The
case is one of the most remarkable ones
evor tried iu that district, and it bas been
watched with breathless interest through
out. Both men were very wealthy, and
had a Dumber of friends who fought it hotly
on both sides.
No Hospital Needed.
No palatial hospital needed for Hop
Bitters patients, nor large salaried taf.
?nted. putters to tell what Hop Bitters
will do or cure, as they tell their own
story by their certain and absolute cures

A Startling Visit.
John Taphorn and his wife, who keep a
saloon iu Cincinnati, were aroused from
their slumbers the other night by what
seemed to bo nn authetio announcement
that the world was coming to an end in
stanter. The floor gave way, a weird and
unearthly shreik reaoundod in their ears, a
bell begau to toll solemnly Just behind the
foot-board, a huge volume of smoke and
steam rolled over them, a miscellaneous diu
tortured their car drums, and tbe whole
situation indicated nothing less appalling
than the crack of doom. After waiting a
moment they gained courage to get up and
investigate, when they fouud that a freight
-engine had run off the track and into their
saloon, where it was at that moment stand
ing, very much in need of refreshments,
'With iU smoke stack shamelessly thrust up
through the ceiling into the proprietor'
bed-room.
Anxious to Rise,
There's plenty of room up stairs, as
Daniel Webster said to the young lawyer
Anxious to rise, but despondent of bis
chance to do so ; but do ouo need injure
himself either in climbing the stairs of
fame or those of bis owu bouse or business

ohn A. Hntchinsoa, Supt, Downer's Ker

Mr. Patton, one of ourforemau, in walking
up stairs last week sprained bis leg badly.
I gave him a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil to try.
He used it and an almost instantaneous
cure was effected. La Fayette Daily
