HOPEFUL SIGNS.
One of the hopeful signs of t he cam
paign upon which we are just entering
in this couuty.is the activity, determina
tion and nuauiiuity which everywhere
exists iu the Repul ljr.an ranks. We
Lave conversed with llepuhlicans from
almost every township in the county,
and we rejoice to be able to state that
there lias never leeu a better feeling in
the Kepublican ranks. This feeling
arises from an appreciation of the im
portance of the issues involved, as well
as from the generally acknowledged sig
nificance of a victory in Ohio this Fall.
The nominees aud platform adopted at
Columbus are regard with universal fa
vor, and if ttie County Convention does
its duty as satisfactorily (of which we
Lave no doubt) Hancock eouuty will
give a good account of herself jn Octo
ber. There is a very perceptible current
teadily at work iu fuvor of the Re
publican party in this count? which will
tell heavily in the final result. Those
who were active in former years are en
thusiastic now. and those who were
lukewarm and indifferent are now
fully awake to the importance of a Re
publicau victory this Fall.
On the other Land, good honest Dem
ocrats who belonged to that party when
it scorned repudiation direct or indi
rectand declared for honest money,
Lave not much heart to work for the de
generate Democracy of the Columbus
Convention" which announces its adhes
ion to a limitless issue of a depreciated
and inconvertible current y. I lard mon
ey Bill. Allen on a shin-plaster plat form,
and ex-Temperauce Apostle Sam Carey
on an anti-sumptuary law platform is a
doubled -barreled political phenomeou
which is anything but pleasing to the
average Democratic iniiiJ, and the
quaking among the Democratic dry
bones is fearful to contemplate. Mean
while the Republicans of the county are
closing up tlieir ranks, gathering np the
stragglers, and receiving new recruits
from the disgusted Democracy.
Whks the Republican party went out
of power in Texas, some three years ago,
there were in operation 2,007 public
schools, with 2,025 teachers and 127.C72
pupils. Since that period, under Dem
ocratic rule, the iiuiiiImt of schools has"
lieen reduced to 202, with a correspond
ing decrease in t he number of teachers
and scholars. Who says the Democratic
party is not a party of progress backwards?

Works of Cincinnati, for embezzlement

Cary is now cheek-by jowl with Bill
Allen in a party tliat he, not ten years
ago, denounced as "steeped in crime

Archbishop Plkckll's official organ
in Cincinnati says: "Withdraw the sup
port which the Catholics have given
the Demodratic party, and it will fall in
this, city, country aud State as speedily
as is Las risen to its long lost power and
position."
CONSISTENT CARY.
The Democratic Convention nominat
ed Samuel F. Cary as their candidate for
Lieutenant Governor and placed him on
a platform, the fourteenth plank of
which reads as follows:
"That we are opposed to the passage (A
what are called sumptuary laws, or any
interference with the social habits or
customs not in ttemselves criminal, and
we reprobate any espionage by one class
of citizens upon another, under any pre
tense whatever."
Now the Cincinnati Commercial lias
unearth d a tract written in other days
by this same Gen. ('!) S. F. Cary when
Le was a devoted Son of Temperance,
and wtich be took the pains to scatter
broad cast over the land. Let us make
a few extracts from this tract and we
shall see what Cary then considered
criminal. Perliaps the following para
graph, selected at random from the tract
aforesaid, will best show his position on
that question :
"Murder, rebbery and theft are crimes,
because they not only injure individuals,
but strike at the very being of society
Whatever wanton act limy becommited
which endangers or destroys the life.lib-
erty, personal safety or projerty of a
subject ( !) thus threatening the subver
iou of civil society, is a crime, trhethtr
reeygnized by the lairs or not."
He then goes on to say that the traflit
in intoxicating liquors ts an evil and a
crime, because "they impoverish a na
tion; second, they impair health; third,
they destroy cliaracter and reputation ;
fourth, they destroy life." Waxing warm
as he proceeds he further asserts :
"The dealers in these poisons, and
those who kindle the fires of the distill
ery, not only induce men to raise the
suicidal arm to put an end to their own
existence, but they let loose upon the
earth a multitude to bathe their hands
in the blood of innocence. 'They sit in
lurking places of the villages; iu secret
places no tliey murder the innocent.
They lie in wait secretly as a lion iu his
den : they lie in wait to catch the poor.
They crouch and humble themselves,
that the poor may fall by the strong

Not content with this he goes on to say
that the liquor-dealers

ulacture and tranc, and this lacl is

Thus much for Mr. Cary's tract. In
an article in the Crusader, of Febuary,
1858, of which he was the editor, he
deals out the following as to the custom
of beer-driiikiug:
"It is true that the sins of the fathers
are visitrd uikiu the children. A few
days since, we were iu a community
where 'lager was almost the universal
panacea. The preacher of salvation to

and indolence drank bis beer to make

the Lethean stupor of the brew-vat

to garnish the pathway of manhood with

Gkxkral Horack CArKOX, former
U. S. Commissioner of Agriculture, who
five years ago resigned tliat post to take
charge of a great agricultural aud me
chanical experiment in Japan, lias turn
ed his face homeward with the satisfac
tion of having sucessfully performed
what he had undertaken. During Lis
stay in Japan he explored the extensive
and little known islaud Yazzo, reduced
it to cultivation, introduced animals of
value hitherto unknown there, estab
lished manufactories, discovered valua
ble coal and iron deposits, and placed
Japan farther along the path of materi
al progress aud prosperity than it had
advanced a thousand years before. Gen.
Capron comes home to rest with the
well-earned gratitude of the Japanese
Government, and undoubtedly with that
gatitude expressed in a material form.
As an astonishing element the Boston
rost is without a peer. The financial
planks of the Democratic platforms of
Ohio and Maine are as repugnant as fire
and water, yet that remarkable journal
undertakes to reconcile them and make
them coalesce. In one article it com
pliments the Ohio Bourbons on their
"reassertion of sound and tried priuci
pies," and in another indorses the Maine
declaration as "sound," saying: "The
same good judgment that ruled in the
choice of candidates is seen in the com
position oi me resolutions." Hints' a
wide straddle.

THE EARTHQUAKE IN SOUTH
AMERICA.
The New York Tribune of the 20th
inst. Las the following description of the
earthquuke which destroyed cities in
South America, recently:
The region affected by the shocks
covers five degree of latitude, and is 51")
uiili-s wide. The shock extended in a
north-east direction, along the northern
range of the Andes. It was felt very
perceptibly at Bogota, the capital of
New Grenada, thence seemed to travel
north, gathering intensity as it advanc
ed, until it reached the south east
boundary line of Msdaleiia, where the
work of destruction Is-gaii, continuing
as it advanced along the eastern Ixiuud
ary of Magdaleua, following the line of
mountain range, and dV4rojinr in part
or whole the cities of Cucuta, Sim An
tonio, El Bosario, San Cristobal, San
Cavetano, and Santiago.
The destruction was great-st iu
Gramalate, Arboledns, Cucutiilas and
Cucuta. Of the 1 1,hji persons who died
from the effect of the earthquake, only
about 5,)HI were killed outright: the re
mainder died in a short time f rom fever
aud lockjaw, which, iu that region, near
ly always suiervencs when severe inju
ries have Is-eu received.
The first premonition of the terrible
visitation occurred on the ui'ht of May
17, when a stiange riiuihling sound was
heard Is-ncatii the ground although no
earthquake occurred. It seemed as if
huge bowlder bad lx"cn propcll-d over
the earth, causing a rattnug of win
dows aud doorsaiidatremhliiigof crock
ery. It traveled in the direction after
ward taken by the earthquake and last
ed only a few minutes. It excited fears,
which soon subsided when no serious re
sult followed. But on the morning c f
May is, a terrible shock occurred, which
brought consternation to all the iiihal
itant of Cucuta. It suddenly shook
down the wallsof houses, tumbled down
churches and the principal buildings,
burying the citizens of the place in the
ruins. Another shock completed the
work of desolation by tlirowingdown the
walls that still remained standing. This,
with the shrieks of the wounded anil
dying, and the pitiful cries of those who
had escaped, but who had lost their
whole families, made a scene which, in
the words of a correspondent, was 'the
realization of what Dan'e faintly out
lined in his jiortrait of the Inferno."
Three more shocks followed of equai iu
temsity, but there appears to be no evi
dence that there were any openings in
iu the earth, whii:h,on similar occasions,
have engulfed buildings aud inhabitants,
at least not in Cucuta. The shocks,
with lesser foree, however, seems to have
been felt throughout the whole region of
the earthquake for two days afterward,
extending to Cartagena and the western
sea coast.
The sceii?s that followed the first
shocks are described as leiug most fear
ful aud terrible. In this hour of de
struction, when men and women were
praying for relief and mercy, others who
had escaped, immediately tiegaii an in
discriminate pillage, searching the ruins
for treasure, and iu many coses robbing
the dying and dead. The desire for
plunder was so great in some instances
that the robbers murdered ersoiis who
were caught in the falling timbers and
who could not extricate themselves,
though only slightly injured. The vaults
of the banking houses were penetrated
and large sums of money stolen. "The
thieves were inouarchs of the ruins,"
said a correspondent. Then, to add to
the horror of the calamity, the Lobotera
Volcano suddenly began to shoot out
lava iu immense quantities, or as a cor
respondent writes to Mr. Gogorzn, "It
sent out a mass of molten lava, in the
form of incandescent ImiIIs of lire, into
the city." Some of these balls fell -jpoli
the German drug stores of Thiers &i Co.
and Van Diesel & Co., setting them on
tire immediately. The names communi
cated with the adjoining dwellings. A
shower of lava set the ruins of the large
city iu flames while the earth was still
quaking, and, writes a correspondent,
'if a painter could have seen tlie occur
rence, and possessed the laiwer to put it
oil canvas (although he might 'not paint
a dying groan'), with the lurid flames
overhead, the convulsed city beneath,
its inhabitants perishing aund ttie ruins,
bomlMirded witli lire from the Loboteia;
if the painter could transfer the scene to
canvas and call it 'The Judgment Day,'
not Michael Angelo, nor any of the old
masters, would survive the funic of this
immortal artist of to-day.
LETTER FROM HON. HENRY
WILSON.
Vice President Wilson replies, iu the
Boston Journal, to some of :he adverse
criticisms iioii his recent Southern trip.
We make the following brief extract:
NATICK, June 23, 1875.
To the Eititorx oflhe JMim Ihiily Journal:
Recognizing, to the fullest extent, the
right o' the press to review and criticise
the words and acts of public men, I claim
tlie right and Iwlieve it to lie sometimes
the duty of those so criticised to vindi
cate those words and acts. Acting iqion
these convictions I purpose to notice
some ail verse criticims that have recently
apiieared in a few Republican presses.
Kiidit vears ago there was printed nt
(he Capital a journal which assumed to
lie the organ of Andrew Johnson, and the
exponent of his "policy." That journal
still iivtis, aud seems to be hugely grati
fied with the iuip.ited reputation of Is-ing
the orjui of the present adininistiatioii.
Receiirly returned lroni a snort journey
through some of the States, South and
West.l find mvselfar.d trip io have lieen
an iiinocent cause of extreme solicitude
to the conductors of this assumed organ,
ami to those who inspire it, if there lie
any, ot which I entertain iimr ui.ui u
Joubt. HntaJISUclisoneilline, i assure
them, is uncalled for.
That little journey of mine was but the
carrying out of a deviee to take a few
weeks of rest Is-fore 1 commenced upon
the task I had marked out lor tlie sum
mer and autumn. Kindly welcomed by
the people of both races, by leitioernts,
lepubli;ans, and Conservatives, I visit
ed colleges, schools, and marts of varied
industries. Being welcomed by people
and presses of every shade of opinion, I
said nothing iu the twenty-nine brief ad
dresses I made, of public affairs, or of
party politics. 1 spoke of law, order,
peace; of industry, material develop
ment, education, temperance; of justice
to black men, and of a generous policy
to white men, I visited the graves of
Jackson and Clay, of Taylor and Polk,
of Crittenden, Bell, and Benton. I vis
ited, too, a dying ex- ice-l'resident,aud
chatted a moment with Mrs. Jefferson
Davis, iu the streets of. Memphis.
Never did I make a more innocent or
agreeable journey than was crowded into
those six weeks. But 1 find on my return
that all this is very "significant." These
welcomes from nil without riistiuctioii
of race or color; these brief speeches,this
visit to the couch of a dying man, tliat
little talk with the wife of the President
of the late Confederacy, were full of
meaning. The "wandering Vice-Presi-
lent" was "too unanimous, he was "tlie
victim of Presidential aspiratUMis," and
he must lie rebuked as other geutlemeu
suspected of like desires had been.
To all this I reply that I indulge with
thousands of my countrymen the idea
tliat the Presidency is a lofty and respon
sible position; tliat to be elected to that
high oniee, and clothed with vast twers
for good by four millions, is an honor
by the side of which nucounted wealth
must weigh as nothing. But, notwith
standing this high estimate, I nssure the ;
organ aud all others alike exercised that
there is not one beiug in all this broad
liuid to whom I have ever written, spo-
ken.or even hinted that I desired,hoed,
expected or intended to lie a candidate.
assure them, too, tliat I have liecn so
neglectful, not to say discourteous, us
not to reply to letters written me upon
subject these iiua'uintive ones dis-m
so interested in.
It may soothe their anxiety fwJJier if
assure them that I have neither money
nor patronage, nor an organ; that I
never made a promise, in a political life
thirty-five years, to give office or pat
ronage to persons or presses for votes or
Influence, and that 1 never intend to do
JNo money ! no patronage! no organ !
Surely this pitiable condition should con
sole and reassure, if it does not placate,
these distressed gentlemen, who see such
mighty influences iu money, patronage,
and organs, and protect lue from their
jealousies and their suspicions.
[From the New York Weekly Times.]
THE OHIO REPUDIATONISTS.
The Ohio Democrats have definitely
declared in favor of repudiating all
pledges of the Government to pay its
long over-due demand iio'es. This we
regard as a national misfortune. We
bad hoped that the efforts of some of
the more intelligent Democrats to in
duce the party to acquiesce in resump
tion would be successful. We should
rejoice to see the question of the n.itinn
al credit taken out of the arei:a.f parti
san politics. We should be jrlad to
know that the reat majority of nil par
tie, whatever they might believe aloUt
r'Ver matters, were united en :!ie doc
trine of hone-tly paying every debt to
the last dollar.
. That such a condition of pul.lV senti
ment should lie an incalculable l,eii. lit
to the country no sensible man ie-ed be
told. But the Democratic leaders in
Ohio are determined tliat it shall ii"t ls
brought aliont if I hey can help it. Tlieir
convention last week declared that the
paper currency had liecn contracted lo
the injury of the country; that this policy
should be abandoned : that the eurr -ney
Ik? increased until if i "equal to the
want" of trade." by which they mean
indefinitely; that resumption Is- left to
come if itself; that national bank notes
Is- withdrawn, and legal tenders sulr-ti-tuted;
that part of tie import duties
(which the law pled.'es in gold to the
payment, principal and interest, of the
public debt.) Ik- collected iii paper; that
the national bank system l extin
guished, and State luniks of de.osit
ami discount only !c tin only ones al
lowed. That these are to Is- the decisive issues
in Ohio this Fall is evident from the
way in which they are treated by the
Democratic speakers. At the ratifica
tion meeting on Thursday Veiling Ewing
and Pendleton, the inllationi-t lenders,
paraded them at great length, and jioor
Senator Thiiriiinn was compelled to
come upon the platform and, by talking
evasive nonsense and preaching tin- du
ty of "harmony," give countenance to
ideas which he must abhor. It would
1st difficult to imagine any political pro
gramme more thoroughly opposed to the
interests of the country, and in itself
more dishonest, than that which tin
Democrats of Iiio have announced. It,
is based on the a-siliuptiou that the
country is in need of more ikijht curren
cy; yet every fact liearing on that ques
tion points in the opposite direction.
More currency is not wanted in the East,
for it is accumulating by the million
here, week after week, and those who
have it cannot lend nearly all of it, even
at the lowest rates. Now, when a man
is offered money at a low rate, and will
not take it, it is Is-eause he does not
want it; and a business community is
precisely the same as n single man in
that regard. Nor is more currency
wanted in the West. It is a "drug"' iu
Chicago, at unprecedentedly low rates;
and though it is is-giiming to 1m- asked
for a little in anticipation ,f new crops
to be moved, there is still a great deal
more than any one can profitably use.
However, when the west was given the
choice of adding to its circulation or
surrendering a portion of it, it did the
latter and not the for r. Why '. If
the country is suffering from contrac
tion, why do the banks in the suffering
section go o contracting.' Mr. Pendle
ton says it is because the threat of forced
resumption i" l7'.t lias paralyzed all en
terprise. But the West, would not lake
currency when it was offered before the
pledge of resumption in 1S70 was given.
Iu continuing to decline currency and
to surrender a part o! what it has. it is
only pursuing the line adopted long Im
fore the "threat" of resumption was
made.
Obviously the project of repudiating
the promise to pay the greenbacks iu
1S71I, and of Hooding tic country with
more, is not demanded by any real or
apparent need of the people. It. should
Is? remembered that, it, would In- ns dis
honorable as it would ! unnecessary
and reckless. It seems incredible that
the fact that the legal tender notes are
nothing more nor less than a debt should
be so completely ignored by any consid
erable number ot persons iu the country
as the Democratic. Ohio platform shows
that it is. Originally these notes were
promises to pay, the time Itctiig left un
certain. ly the act. of last session the
time was fixed. That, net becomes a
art of the obligation of each note. It
ossesses exactly the same authority as
the original note, ami it is as binding on
the Government ami on the Hople.

nothing else. But the Ohio Democrats

denouncing it. Doubtless the .arty

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
The Democratic party of Ohio, in
State Convention assembled, proclaim
the following propositions of politic.d
faith and actiou;
1st. A cacred adherence to the princi
ples of ( iovenuneiit declared and put iu
practical operation by the father of the
Republic.
2. ipposition to aggressions by either
department of the Government unou tint
functions of the others, and to the exer
cise by Federal authority of any of the
power reserved by the Constitution of
the States respectively or to the peo
ple. :M. The probation of tie-Government
to all citieiis, without regard to race,
color, or previous conditions of servi
tude. 4;h. The President N-rvice should lj
limited to to one term, ar a salary of
s-J.Vnki.
r.th. Retrenchment and reform iu ev
ery department of Government, Feder
al, htate and local.
f.ih. No grants of land or money by
the Government, or use of its credit to
Railroad, Steamship, or other Compa
nies. 7ih. The preservation of the remnant
of public lands for the U-netit of citizens
of the fiiited States mid foreign emi
grants whohavedeclaie.i their intention
to become such, who will occupy and
cultivate the same.
Sth. That the contract; u of thecur
reiiey made by the Republican p-trty,aud
the further contraction proposal py it.
with a view to the forced resumption of
specie payment, has already brought hs
a-terto the business of the country, and
threatens it with general bankruptcy and
ruin. We demand that this policy lie
abandoned, and that the volume of cur
rency Is? made nnd kept equal to the
wants of trade, leaving the restoration
of legal tenders to par with gold to lie
brought about by promoting the indus
tries of the people all id not by destroy ill;
them.
itth. That the policy already initiated
by the Republican party of aiiolishing
legal tenders and giving National Banks
the power to furnish ull the currency
will iiicrcasctlieiowerof an already dan
gerous monopoly ai.d enormous burdens
now oppressing the iicople without any
compensatim: advantairi-s. and that we
oppose to this Mlicy the demand that
all the National Bank circulation 1'
promptly ami permanently retired, and
leijal tenders issued ill their places.
luth. That the public interest demands
that the Government should in no case
discredit its own currency, and should
make iis leiral tenders receivable for all
rmblie dues, except where rcspact for
the obligation of contract requires pay
ment iu coin, and that we favor the pay
ment of at least one half of the customs
iu legal tenders.
11th. The extinction of the present
National Banks and the establishment
iu their stead of a system of Free Bank:
of discount and deisisit only oh such
regulations ns the Slates may r.-spectivaa-
ly prescrilie, and no paicr curr y ex
cept, such ns may be issued directly by
and upon the faith of the general Gov
ernment.
12th. A tariff for the sola- purtiose of
Revenue.
::th. We favor tin- complete seimmv
ration of Church aud State, religious in
dceudciice and absolute freedom of
opinion, eoual and exact justice to all
religious societies, and purely secular
education, at the expense of the tax-pay
ers, without division among or control
by any sect, directly or imlirectly,of any
portion of the Public School fund. In
view of tin- a bilirubin provisions of bur
Slate 4 Hist it lit loll on these subjects,
w hich are due to the energy and wisdom
of the Democratic party, we denounce
the Republican platform as an insult to
the intelligence of the people of Ohio,
and a base appeal to sectarian pra-ju-
iices.
1 1th. That wc are opposed to the pass
age of what are called sumptuary laws.
or any interference with the social hale
lis or customs, not iu themselves crimi
nal, and we reproliate the espionage by
one class d citizens uoii another under
any pretense whatever.
With this declaration of principles and
policy, we arraign the leaders of the Re
publican party fortheir extravagant ex-
peiidilure and prolhgate wa-te ol tlie
peopla-'s money, fortheir oppressive, un
just, mid defect ivesysteni of finance aud
taxation, for their continuous tyranny
and crueit y to the .Sout lu-rn State.s.of t he
I nioii, for the squandering oft he public
lands, for theircoiit iiiuaiiee of incompe
tent and corrupt, men iu office at home
and abroad, and for tlieir mismanage
ment af the liovcrnuicut; and we cor
dially invite all n , without regard to
tha-ir pa-t juirty associations, to co-operate
with us in expa-lling tlu-m, and in
sa-ciiringnn administration of public af
fairs as characterized the purer and
Im-IPt days of the Republic.

THURMAN AND CONSISTENCY.
Allen S. Tliunii.iii, of Ohio, imiled
States Sa iiator, and a hard money Dem
ocrat, is just now exciting considerable
attention. Some of tlie leading Demo
cratic journals of Ihe cast, mid nearly
all Ihe independent pap. r Hint favor a
return to specie payment.-! are fia?cuLi.
ting upon tlie position likely tola taken
hv the Senator, in the Ohio campaign;
some going so far as to call ujion him as
a consistent 1 "--nioa rat, to come out
openly against the iullatioii jsilicy adopt
ed by the Democracy of his State.
Mr. Thiinnai. will pay no more atten
tion to these self-constituted guardians
of liioeratie virtue, than he would to
the whistling ol wind. Like the av
erage Democrat, ilr. Thu-i;;.'iii is consist
ent only when party policy requires him
to to l'. If the Republican party of
Ohio was committed to an inflation of
the n per currency, the Senator would
make a virtue of his coiisisti-ney, and
parade it on a hundred platforms. But
Ibis not- being the case, his own party
having endorsed a policy, against which
he has iu-PmI and spoken, he will wheel
into line, swallow everything contained
in his party creed, or gild it over by his
sophistry and rhetoric. Mr. Thurmaii
cares more for a Democratic victory in
)hio, than he does for his hard-money
record, and his Eastern friends are siui
plv wasting time and ink in calling upon
liiiu to oppose Ills party in Ohio for the
of his reputation elsewhere.
Kepubii'inn--- are sometimes given to
the practice of oj;posii: their Iarty lie
cause they differ from iisavowej policy,
but Democrats adopt the motto, "our
party right or wrong," and advocate its
principles and defend its policy, ns if
they had been consulted in their cre
ation. For this leasou Demoo-acy has
continued to lae a unit through many
years of political discouragement, while
Ihe Republican parly, from time to time,
has suffered from tlie soralla-d inde
pendent movements, which in a measure
have represented the differences of opin
ion on questions of policy existing within
the ranks of the party.
Seuator Thurnian is a fair representa
tive of a largo iiuiiiImt, who, through
prejudice or twlicv, cling to the fortunes
Democracy. He with others of bis
class believes that &h intjutioii of the
currency would be a disaster lo'the pnl
lic credit, that a policy looked toward
the resumption of specie payments is the
onlv true one. vet he will sacrifice Ins
consistency as a statesman to his incliiiu-

inthi.'iiee to sustain bis party in Olno,

Tliere is no consistency in ilie Demo
cratic party. Kvcrvtlijng must ucmi M

A horrible story is told by 77 Fo' r

a negro woman, with five children,

woman to her fata-. The na.groa-s claim,
however, that, they carried food near
the house and called to Ihe children to
come out niid get. it. The woman lin
gered four or liva' days in great ngony
and finally died. No one would attempt
to bury Ihe remains for several days,

ARCADIA, O., July 1, 1875.
Jefk.: After a brief silence we
again send you a few lines from this vil
lage. Everything k iu a flourishing condi
tion, although heavy rains fall almost
every day. Last Friday one of the mot
terrible thunder .-tonus ever known in
these lutrts passed over our village. Three
vivid ;!:isiie of ligbti.ing aud appalling
cl.tps of thunder followed iu quick sue
aression. Two of them took effect iu our
town, und one in th.' country, about a
mil.- cast. The first discharge struck the
lightning rod on the M. E. Church, and
passed down it to wit hiualiout eight feet
of the ground, wlu-re the rod w.is brokeu
off. The remaining di-taua-e it passed
down tin- side of tie house ami of course
compli-f.-ly shatter.- I ii .!..!. n Jordon's
house, in tie- west part of this village.re
ceiving tlii'sa-eoiid dist h.irge. The build
ing is a tiiieona-.and was just erected last
summer. It ha no lightning roils on it.
The building is in the form of a cross.
The discharge took cUa-cl ill the kitchen
chimney of the south wing. The chiui
ley was demolished, and filings in the
kitchen "dusted" iu linesty le. Theroof
tin the west side was torn oil for quite a
distancearoiiud. The discharge divided ;
at least it appears so. I )ue iiart passed
down the northwest comer of the west
w ing, and the other down the northeast
corner of the east wing to v. ilhin about
a foot of the ground. Here its pit lis are
visible m the porch, which it crossed.
Mr. Jordon was fitting about eighteen
lut'hesauay. The discharge "shookhini
up lively." lie says he found himself
alx.ut ten h i t out iu thai yard. He was
not hurt, only itg.ive" him a seven head
ache. Prof. Snyder's concert, about which
we made Hindi mention in our last, was
a grand success iu every particular. Ra-v.

Last Saturday a young man whom we
will call "Whir key," for the sake of n
name, came to town and got on a "hi,"
at a certain tavern saloon iu this village,
and fell out with the "Boss," wholmsady
insulted him. "Whiskey" went f. r
"Boss," and in less than no time mea-s-und
his length on the ground. The whole
family then charged upon "Whiskey,"
and would have licked him np like salt,
had ho not liecn promptly arrested by
two of the by standers. "Boss" has a
lad ear, and "Whiskey" was, sorry to
say, taken by himself to the iralaboost
and locked up to cool off. He was ta
