SpiTok AND PROPRIETOR, corr TERMS OF SUiSCRIPTION: BEGINING OF VOL. V. With this issue the Times enters upon the fifth vear of its existence {ts record as a public journal, and its acccomplishments as a business enterprise are too apparent and deeply impressed upon the minds of the peopleto require any extended vehearsel at this time. Launched forth upon the sea of lite n the midst of an opposition estab- tished and well disciplined, its strug- | gle for a place in the front rank were + test calculated «more mature and experienced man- agement, and its final supremacy is an annomily in the history of news- paper adventures. In spite of lo- cal political prejudices that are ever rife under such circumstances, the Tims steadily advanced in the pcp- ularity of the people and in the confi- dence of the business public until its position now is synonymous ‘with solidity, enterprise, faithful to party principles and indispensible to the advancement of morality and good citizenship. Politically, the Times has never swerved in its fidelity to Democracy. it nas fought in the battles of two campaigns and in quarters where evidence of our prowess may -be wanting, we point to the record there «nade as our only vindieation. Up- on that record the Tiatzs basis its only claims to political Wisdom and arty support, and whatever may be our short comings in somethings, in the light of events so recently tran- spired, we can not be upbraided as having detracted from our party’s atrength, but on the contrary must ve recognized and credited with hav- ‘ng contributed our share, at least, to its success. With no appologies to offer for past conduct, and no pledges to make for the tuture, other than a correct knowledge of our record as- sures, we enter the ring tor the fifth round, placing no false estimate uv- on our strength and confident of ad- alitional victory in every encounter. To the business men of Butler who have supported us through the vicisitudes of past years, and also our friends in the country, we re- cognize our obligations and stand ever ready to repay. The mammoth sheet that is being ‘ssued from the Tres office this month, tells in more forcible lan- guage than we can write, the healthy pport extended us, and the enter- prise that belongs to the propelling pewer of the institution. A call at our business office from any and | everybody will be appreciated, and « sample copy of our big paper will ‘e cordially furnished. { Congress convened Monday. - ooo A monument 1s being made in Rome soon to be brought to this country and erected in Charleston, | Seuth Carolina, to the memory of John C.

Had the Advertiser gotten its mtormation trom the proper source it would have been spared the labored effort of last Saturday. But when one knows the authorship ot the uncalled for attack upon the editor of the Times, his mind will cease to won- der. Where jealously once stings the heart its poison neyer re- is moved. The cross-grained editor ot the Advertiser is troubled with visions. The delegation trom Rich Hill to the opering of the Walton Opera House on the rith inst. willgo away with a new teeling in their hearts for the people of the Electric City. The petty jealousy that designing persons have sought to engender, will be a thing of the past after that event. The Review’s heart has been won over and there is nothing in the way now for a grand reunion and con- fession. The Southwest Mail, of Nevada, and the Brownsville Herald both came to us this week with large sup- plements filled with interesting read- ing and mammoth advertisements. The Mast and Herald like the Times are tully abreast with the per- 10d in point of enterprise and busi- ness success. We have received a phamphlet from Mobile, Alabama, setting forth the advantages of that city as a health resort for the winter. It’s author is Wm. H.

We clip the following from the Enterprise published at Rich Hull, Mo., inreterence to Judge Berry’s lecture delivered there last week: It is seldon the privileges of a community to listen to a literary production as deep and scholarly as the one delivered last Sabbath even- ing by Judge Berry ot the National Historical Society, The subject is one that would nat- urally interest:—‘*The Bible, as a literary production.”’ He discussed it from that stand point only—not advancing a sectional 1:dea. The fudge began by showing how dependent the great poets and authors of antiquity were on Homer, Virgil, Milten, Byron, Pope and the classical world, used Hoemer’s metre as the frame-work for their productions. Although the ‘Iliad’ and *‘Odesy’’ were ivaluable to the classic world, the Bible was their peer as a literary production. i It was the basis of inspiration and had a subject for every degree of | Raphel ana! humanity Angelo, the greatest artists ot the world con- ceive their models from the Bubie.

Judge Berry is a scholarly gentie- man; is perfectly at home in sa- cred history rs well as in profane; handles the classics with ease and elegance that wins an in- telligent appreciation and proves himself to be a man of great literary endowment and decision ot charac- j ter.

All things progressed well enough till the month of July when it was ap- Parent that unless something was speedily done the pregnant condi- tion of the woman would create trouble and scandal. To avoid this the course decided upon as best to pursue was to send her off to visit her relations in Kansas. So accord- {ingly Miss Sarah, accompanied by her mother, were started at the ex- pense ot Sherman. For a while matters rested easy and evidently the guilty Sherman feltat ease. But it was temporary, for the condition of Sarah did not take well with the Kansas friends, and in due course of time the mother and daughter returned to their old home at Rockville, What relation existed. what correspondence took place between Sherman and Sarah after this, we have no infor- or ion, but this much weds know, about one month ago Sarah gave birth to a well developed girl baby in the town of Rockville. Almost simultaneous with the birth of the child the mether took legal steps to have Sherman arrested. And here 1s where the murderous part of the proceedings begin. Upon being arrested Sherman de- manded to be allowed to see Sarah mm private. He was accordingly taken to Rockville, and upon enter- ing the room of the sick woman all persons therein immediately went out and the father, mother and babe were lett themselves: As the | contession of Miss Sarah goes, Sher- 'man placed in her hands a small ; Vial containing poison which he ad- vised her to use in ‘‘getting away | with the chilu,’’ to employ his own i language.
