In glancing over the enactments
by the recent legislature we find a
law requiring the county tax receiver
to place his books in the hands of
the grand jury at its fall session for
an examination of the returns upon
property. Should the grand jury
find the returns made by any tax
payer too small, then that body may
place a proper estimate upon the
property which shall lie final.
When making your returns you
should remember your reported
valuation will be closely scrutinized
by a grand jury.— Constitution.

AN ELOQUENT PLEA FOR
THE PEOPLE OF UHIO.
Appeal of Sirs. Blaine, Sirs. Sher¬
man and Other Ladies in Behalf
of the Afflicted Islanders—Pas¬
tors and Business Men Especial¬
ly Addressed—The Unfortunate
Island Again Stricken.
Washington, April 11.—Mrs.
Blaine, Mrs. Sherman, and a number
of other ladies prominent in Wash¬
ington society and well known
throughout the country, make
following appeal to the people of the
United States in behalf of the suffer¬
ers from the recent disastrous earth¬
quake in Ohio:
Washington, D. April 11.
To the People of the United States:
The calamity of Ohio touches the
whole world. A disaster which no
human foresight could perceive or
prevent has laid waste the beautiful
island whose songs have been among
the world’s most treasured posses¬
sions for five^and twenty centuries.
A single Sunday afternoon destroy¬
ed the fruit of sixty years of indus¬
try, and turned a peaceful and plea¬
sant country into a scene of desola¬
tion and horror, without one mo¬
ment’s warning, by the unheralded
and irresistible forces of nature.
Seven thousand human beings were
crushed and buried beneath the
ruins of their own happy homes.
Ten thousand more have been ex¬
tricated, wounded and dying, and
40,000 are left wandering, without
roofs, or food or plan for the future,
stricken by an unseen hand, famish¬
ed, appalled, despairing. The situa¬
tion admits of no delay. The suffer¬
ing is present and pressing. No
community could recover from so
mysterious and terrible a blow ex¬
cept through the slow lapse of time.
Nighboring powers have rushed to
Ohio with instant aid, but the shock¬
ed and sorrowful people must be nur¬
tured through many long days baek
to comfort and confidence, to hope
and home, to joy, to strength and
.self-dependence.
In this sudden amj overwhelming
anguish acereded representatives of
the desolated province have appeal¬
ed to us to implore the generous as-
sistance of the American
We do not appeal to American
ple. They need no appeal.
In this sweet charity the
world insists upon its right to
and share with the old.
ed in the nation’s capital, from
sections of this great land,
profoundly that “a King’s
mpiireth haste,” and confident
in thus complying with the
of our friends and neighbors
over the sea, we rightly interpret
eagerness of every American to
ister, not only sympathy,but prompt
and definite succor. We
earnestly to beg the pastors of
churches, Catholic, Protestant
Hebrew, to take up colections
their several congregations at
earliest practicable moment, and
pray the President of boards of
and the managers of all moneyed
stitutions to circulate
papers that each may have
ate opportunity to give of
wealth and pour their prosperity
through the channels that
soonest reach the fainting sufferers
whom nature could not spare and
whom humanity must restore.
The well known banking house of
Riggs & Co., of Washington, J). C.,
lias kindly consented to receive all
moneys collected for the purpose,
and for convenience and dispatch
the several sums received will be ac¬
knowledged in the daily papers of
W ashington.
We ask from editors of newspa¬
pers the favor of giving this letter
prominent place in their columns.
Tile letter is signed by Harriets.

man, of Ohio; Alice Key, of Pen¬

“THE PINK COTTAGE”
Miraculous Cures by Prayer.
Where Physic Failed.
The Courier-Journal, in its last
Saturday’s edition, published Iiev.
Dr. O. Fames’first letter in regain
to the “Pink Cottage Faith Cure,’
which we gave our readers some
time since, and in an editorial refer¬
ence to it said: “The document cer¬
tainly reads move like the vagaries
of a lunatic than the utterances or a
strong man, as Mr. Barnes has al¬
ways been regarded.” This criti¬
cism, we must confess, might ex¬
press our own opinion in regard to
the letter, were we not acquainted
with a number of cases in our own
midst which have been cured, ap¬
parently, by no other means than
by prayer and faith, and for the
■lake of those who are of the belief
that the days of miracles are past,
we will give a few that are the sub¬
ject. of nearly every-day remark
here: About the 1st of September
last, Mrs. 11. T. Harris, wife of
Lawyer 11. T. Harris, of this place,
a devout Christian woman, called on
Mrs. S.L. Midkiff,who was bed ridden
with that fearful disease, prolapsus
uteri. Physicians had doctored her
in vain, and she dispaired of ever re¬
covering. Mrs. Harris read numer¬
ous passages from the Bible to
prove the willingness of God to an¬
swer prayer, and his promises to
those who ask expecting to receive,
and entreated her to pray to Him
constantly and fervently. Tile sick
woman did so, Mrs. Harris uniting
with her in supplications to the
throne of grace. After a day or
two of prayer, Mrs. Midkiif experi¬
enced a sudden change iii her con¬
dition, and immediately got up and,
for the first time for many
dressed herself. She is a finely
ucatid lady, and believes firmly
that prayer alone cured her, and,
though abundantly able to keep
house of her own, she has given
up, moved to Pink Cottage, and
now in charge of the faith cure.
next ease was that of Miss
McAfee, a young lady who had
for seven years in bed with
disease. A number of doctors
attended her and all sorts of
dies resorted to, but with no
ent benefit. Mrs. Harris
her, and entreated her to throw
self on the mercy and goodness
God. She did so, and their
supplications were rewarded in
surprising manner; for in a
tiipe the young lady arose from
couch apparently restored to health,
surprising her friends the next
by walking to town, a distance of a
mile. Then there was little Etta
Dobbins, the seven-year old daugh¬
ter of a railroad employe, formerly of
Louisville, who, on hearing of this
ease,asked her mother to take her to
Mrs. Harris, saying that she believ¬
ed the Lord would cure her too.
She had suffered for a long time with
a white swelling that had drawn her
leg so that she could not put her foot
to the ground. She was taken to
Mrs. Harris, who prayed with and
for her, and the next day she was
able to ran about, and now shows no
sign of her recent disease. In speak¬
ing of this case ?drs. Harris says she
!:as never seen such faith in any one
as exhibited by that lit tie child.
Another remarkable case is this of
young Dunnaway, who lives in tlut,
vicinity. lie, to all appearances,
was in the last stages of consump¬
tion, and so low that lie was unable
to feed himself. Mrs. Harris visited
him, read the precious promises of
the Bible to him, and exorted him
to pray with her for his restoration.
Me did so, and soon lie was out of
bed, and last Sunday surprised ev¬
erybody by attending Sunday school.
Mr. Phillips, living six or seven
miles from town, who was a victim
of epilepsy, has not had a symptom
of the disease since he, with Mrs.
Harris, sought the Lord for a cure.
Miss Bettie Dennis, down with a se
vere case of inflammatory rheuma¬
tism, was restored by prayer and
faith, and Mrs. Harris herself, an
invalid for more than a year, is now
hale and hearty, rejoicing daily that
liit; Lord lias made her the instru¬
ment of doing so much good,
i’liere are other cases that we might
give, but these are sullieient. Some
of those mentioned are seen on our
streets daily,and are living evidences
that the Lord has kept bis promise
toward them who have and confi¬
dence in them. Mrs. Harris and
Mrs. Midkiif, who have charge of
,he Bulk Pottage faith ture, are
a Host cut a( ions Christian women,
with an aversion alike to notoriety
and any praise to themselves. They
believe every promise in the Bible,
and are as firmly convinced that the
Lord can heal the body as well as lie
can the soul. We were disposed to
be a little skeptical in these matters,
but "seeing is believing,” and we
publish these facts without attempt¬
ing to theorize about them, hoping
that the knowledge of them mav
.stimulate oilier sufferers to try the
wonderful efficacy of prayer and
