A prominent Republican ot this county dropped in the TimEs office to- day and paid his subscription with the remark. ‘Ihave taken the Times ever since it started, because it is the best paper in the county.”’ Right there! Mrs. Harper, who was tried in Clinton for the murder of her little step-son, was admitted to bail in the sum of $5,000, and was immediately returned to the asylum. Her trial willcome up again at the August term.

The Democrat seems to have the longest pole and will knock the ’simon. Sunday night as the family of Wm. Rinney, Esq., were returning from church, the carriage was ran off of of the bridge on Ohno street, by the horses shying, and Miss Jessie thrown out and painfully though not seriously injured. As the .Great New York Show was leaving town the Sheriff, with a search warrant and several deputies, halted them and proceeded to look for the gold watch which Mr. Park lost recently. It must be said to their credit, however, that nothing was tound to indicate any crooked- ness on their part, and, astar as the Times knows they have started off right toot torward by paying their bills, etc. One of the most pleasant events of | the season was the soiree given at | the residence of Prof. L. B. Allison ; Saturdav evening, in honor of Miss | Florence Page, of Hudson township. The tollowing ladies and gentlemen | were present: Misses Dora Atki- son, Lucy Craig.
