, t The Fayette county Democracy held
their nominating convention at City Hall
list Saturday afternoon, and placed in
nomination the following county ticket:
For Probate Judge, J. B. Eoontz; for
Sheriff, Oswell Smith (present incum
bent) ; for Commissioner, Joshua Mahan ;
Tor Clerk C. J. Bell ; for Recorder, A. B.
Arbogast; for Infirmary Director, Jas.
Smith ; for Coroner, Dr. O. W. Marshall.
At Bainbridge, Monday noon, while
the north bound train on the S., J. & P.
R. R. was standing on the track, and the
engineer and fireman had gone to dinner,
leaving the train in charge of a brake-
man, who was washing himself, Albert
G. Pepple, a drunken farmer, slipped
around the rear of the locomotive, un
coupled it from the rest of the train, jump
ing on the engine, opened the throttle
and started off on a wild chase op the
road. The people living along the line
state that he must have had on a full head
of steam as he was going at the rate of
sixty miles an hour. He got along first
rate until he reached a curve, which was
too much for him, and the consequence
was that the engine was ditched aud
Pepple had his skull fractured, his face
mashed and his body terribly scalded by
the steam. , The engine, which was
"Washington," No. 5, was the finest on
the road and is almost a total loss. The
wild freak delayed the trains many hours,
but everything was in running order
Tuesday morning.
JLocal Political Notes.
Charley Bell doesn't think he has a bon
anza in the nomination for clerk against
Mr. Welsheimer, and don't propose to
squander any wealth in the canvass.
: The Democratic county ticket nomina
ted last Saturday, is pronounced by both
Republicans and Democrats, generally,
as the weakest they have presented for
a number of years.
A prominent Democrat, in discussing
the nominations last Saturday, offered to
wager that Judge Priddy would be re
elected Probate Judge over his Demo
cratic opponent, J. B. Kooutz, by a ma
jority of J 800 Votes. He was a little too
sanguine, however. We would advise
him to come down to about 600, and have
a sure thing.
Should Hon. Mills Gardner receive the
Republican nomination for Congress in
this district by the Convention, to be held
at Columbus to-day, he will carry his own
county by a much larger majority than
any candidate ever received in the coun
ty. ; It is conceded by leading Democrats
that he would receive a large portion of
the Democratic vote against Converse.
On Saturday next we nominate our
county ticket; but, as yet, we have heard
of no one who is anxious to make the race
either for Clerk of the Court or for Re
corder.' Cannot there be two lambs found
for the sacrifice ? Hegister, Aug, 8th.
The convention succeded in finding the
"lambs," and the Republican voters of
the county will assume the responsibility
of seeing that the "sacrifice" comes off,
and that not only these two iambs shall
be offered up, but the balance of the flock
will be included in the sacrifice.
The contest for nominations in the Dem
ocratic county convention, last Saturday,
was not very spirited ; in fact, some of the
position on their ticket were bard to give
away v: There is a woeful lack of confi
dence on the part of the Democracy in
their ability to elect any man on their
ticket,' and the honor of a candidacy
on that ticket is considered empty.
The Republicans present; an excep
tionally strong ticket for the coming
canvass ; one which gives entire satisfac
tion to the party, and will command the
solid support of the Republican voters of
the county at the October election -f aud,
as the only hope of success for the De
mocracy of this county is in Republican
disaffection on some portion of the ticket,
the possibility of running in a man from
the Democratic side is considered hope
less. -

Barnum's Great Snow. 1
This magnificent and attractive estab
lishment will exhibit in Washington C.
H. on Friday, August 23d.
It took a Barnum to conceive so stupen
dous a scheme to amuse and instruct the
people as we have just witnessed. One
characteristic of all Barnum's efforts in"
this direction, is, that he always aims for
the best of everything, and no one can
question that he has succeeded. His im
mense aggregation is transported by four
trains of cars made expressly for this
purpose. The wonder is, how it is possi
ble to make such a huge concern pay its
running expenses, as the charge for ad
mission is the ordinary price for amuse
ments with not one-third the attractions
he presents. His museum of rare curi
osities is alone worth going miles . to see,
while his menagerie is composed of some
of the very best specimens of the animal
world. The sea-lion is a powerfully-built
fellow, with a small head, huge jaws, and
a treacherous, uneasy-looking eye. He
amuses himself and the spectators by con
stantly splashing into a tank of water
from a bench above the tank, takinggood
eare every time to keep his head from con
tact with his iron cage. The lioness and
her three young whelps were another in
teresting feature in this part of the exhi
bition. She exhibits the same tender care
for her twelve-weeks old progeny that we
find under like circumstances in our do
mestic animals. They would have made
interesting little pets in a family house-
bolcl, Due can be made more useful to
Barnum.
There is no humbug about the giant.
He stands 8 feet 6 inches in his stockings,
and his name is Col. Goshen. He would
make a good figure-head for a regiment of
giants; He is a man of magnificent phys
ique, with no superfluous flesh, easy, gen
tlemanly manners, with a pleasant ex
pression, and belongs to a family of giants.
His father and mother are of the giant
race, and Col. Goshen is one of fifteen
children. Barnum ought to scoop in the
whole family.
The equestrian portion of the entertain
ment is perfect in every particular. The
riders possess rare skill in their profes
sion. Mr. Fish, in his bareback riding,
shows wonderful nerve and agility. He
is said to be the best bareback rider in the
arena. The most pleasing and Instructive
portion ot tne entertainment is tnat given
by Mr. Carl Antony, with his trained
stallions, twenty in number, which show
themselves perfectly obedient to his will.
They are undoubtedly the most superb
horses oh the continent, being of high
blood, docile, perfection in form, and
show the most good traits of any horses
that ever came before the public. It is a
wonderful exhibition of what the horse
can be taught by kindness and a little at
tention to humoring their tastes. Mr.
Barnum says that the whole theory of the
Professor's treatment is, that they should
be well rewarded for well doing. Accord
ingly their master has always by him a
pocketful of sugar and apples, with
which their Obedience is always re
warded. He thinks the whip has never
been used on the animals. To appreciate
the wonderful intelligence of these beau
tiful horses, one must see them and wit
ness their almost human displays of intel
ligence. There is nothing slip-shod or
neglected in the appearance of any :of
these horses, and the sight of them is a
lesson that will last one a lifetime. The
whole exhibition is one well worth the
patronage of all.
This is the opinion of the Lewis ton
(Me.) Gazette, and judging from our ex
changes the opinion is generally indorsed.
Be sure and see the grand Procession in
the streets, which is greater than ever this
yeari

A Reply Kxr MereeUtn. '
Mt. Carmsx, O., Aug. 12, '78.
Eds. Herald: '--
I most humbly crave the privilege of a
limited space in your columns t reply to
the Rev. W. A. Meredith, in behalf of ay
Pastor, W. C. Holliday. Mr. Meredith la
both the Herald and Register, seems to
show a disposition to abuse, and as it is so
easy to accuse another of evils, I will only
answer his queries.
1st. ; Mr. Holliday was in search of the
Bible, but, in the sense that Mr. M. uses
the term, they "did not have it," so he
saw what was there.-
2nd. He was not in the company of
those who were serving God, because they
were not to be found, and after a fruitless
search he returned home.
3d. Bro. Holliday is too well known
for the last accusation to hurt. - His name
has been in the Herald too often, which
the gentleman would have known if he
read the papers. ' -
The fact is Brother H. told the truth,
which many of out people will testify to,
and that made it hurt our friend Mere
dith. His remarks were written to warn
the people that they be not deceived by
these "bogus" camp meetings which' have
for their sole aim money making. The man
himself dared not deny the truth of those
statements as his reply clearly shows,
Yours Respectfully,
J. W. Seabrook.

the first through passenger from this

The youngest daughter of Joseph
Dixon, -living near Staunton, fell, from
the toMyf a. high' gate, some six feet,
striking a pile of rocks, dislocating and
fracturing her elbow. Drs. Coffman and
son were called. Before the limb was re
duced chloroform- was administered, and
the Bavarian splints applied. The little
patient is getting along finely, but the
Doctor thinks she.will have a stiff arm. .
P. S. Collins the old reliable livery
man, has removed his livery and feed
stable to the M. A. Melvin stable, on the
corner of Fayette and East streets, where
he will have much more room co carry on
business than In his former quarters. He
has refitted and improved the. stable and
put everything in the best order as he
always will have things about him and is
prepared, to accommodate his friends in
the livery and feed business, to their en

Little Charlie Hilderbrand, whose
father lives on Milton Hegler's farm, was
playing in the road, on Friday evening
last; a neighbor's, mare, feeding close by,
saw the boy and deliberately walked to
where he was, wheeled round and kicked
him square in the face, cutting and bruis
ing him fearfully, and knocking him
senseless. Dr. Coffman was sent for who
dressed the boy's wounds. The little fel
low vomited quite a nuantitv nf blond:
but, at this writing, be is in a fair way to
get well. . mi .
- Rev. C. S. Evans, of Grace Chapel,
Cincinnati, preached the dedicatory ser
mon last Sunday morning.
We understand that there has been a
great deal of misunderstanding about the
gate fees. False reports to the effect that
$1 and $1.50 were charged for single ad
mittance, have been widely circulated by
some unprincipled persons. The admis
sion is: Family tickets, $1, good during
the meeting, admitting all under 18 years
of age. Single tickets, good during the
meeting, 50c. Single admittance 10c; all
under 12 years free. -
Next Friday morning will be devoted
to the interest of the Sunday-school, and
the afternoon to the temperance cause.
Rev. S. H. Flood, of Indiana, the West

lady speaker, engaged by the Christian
Temperance Union, will be among the
prominent speakers present.

Military Encampment at the
Fair Grounds.
Two companies of the Ohio State Mili
tiathe Poe Guards, of Columbus,
commanded by Capt. Brown, and the
DuQuesne Blues, of Springfield, com
manded by Capt. Harper, have selected
this place as a site for a week's encamp
ment, commencing on the 27th, and have
secured the Old Fair -Grounds for ' their
camp. Capt. Brown and Lieut. Pay ue.
of the Poe Guards, were here yesterday,
representing both companies, to make
arrangements for their encampment.
On Friday, of the encampment week, the
companies will be inspected by Gov
ernor Bishop, Adjutant Gen. Miley, Col.
noaglaud and Capt. Steiben. The Old
Fair Grounds will make an excellent
camping ground, and our citizens will be
pleased to show the visiting malitia ail
courtesies. Their presence with us for a
week will be quite welcome. The Poe
Guards and DuQuesne Blues are both
first-class, and' the only colored militia
companies in the State.
Teachers' Inititnte.
The . Fayette County Teachers' Insti
tute of 1878 was a grand success ; 136 per
sons in attendance. While it has been
one of the most profitable ever held in
the county, its cost has been trifling, com
pared with previous Institutes, the entire
expense amounting to only $154 59. The
instruction was of the most practical
character. Prof. Allen's arithmetic and
grammar classes were very interesting
and profitable. Prof. Ogden's instruc
tions in "Methods of Teaching" and
"Language" elicited unusual interest.
Prof. O'Brine's lectures on "Physical
Geography" were listened to with "close
attention. Three evening sessions were
held during the week. Tuesday evening
Prof. Ogden delivered a lecture on "The
Child Life" or "Kindergarten Culture."
Hon. J. J. Burns, State School Com
missioner, was expected to lecture on
Wednesday evening, but failed to reach
here on account of the railroad accident.'
The evening was spent in discussion : sub
ject "What shall we do for our ungrad
ed Schools." Opened by Prof. Patterson,
followed by Hon. H. V. Kerr, Prof. Og
den and others.
Prof. Wetherby of the Cincinnati Uni
versity, lectured on Thursday evening;
subject "Zoological Anomalies." The
lecture was of the most interesting char
acter, and secured for the Professor many
admiring friends. .
The election of officers took place on
Friday afternoon, which resulted as fol
lows : President, Ella Simkins ; VicePres
ident, A. M. Jones; Secretary, R. C. Mil
ler; Executive Committee, B. A. Argo
gast and H. II. Sanderson.
The Institute closed'with a grand Social

got off the cars of the P. Ft. W. & C. Ry.,
at Dunkirk, and proceeded to hire ax and
chain men for a surveying expedition.
They, had come unannounced, and their
cool proceedings, gave a color of "busi
ness" ve-the whole transaction, not usual.
Frpm.ltVem it waslearned.that responsi
ble parties had conceived the project of
building-a north and south road, which
should connect the coal regions of the
South with the pine regions of the North,
and had undertaken to complete a survey
for.a narrow gauge road from Washing
tort -Cburt House,' in Fayette county.-to
the ptnie regions, but whether through
Toledo or an independent line, connect
ing with the disbanded Coldwater line
and so on to Lake Michigan on a line sim
ilar to. the one suggested by us some time
ago, Would depend upon subsequent de
velopments, encouragement, etc. A sim
ilar corps to that which had debarked at
Dunkirk, had been sent forward to Bowl
ing Green, with orders to survey toward
Findlay, at which point the survey from
Dunkirk would terminate. At the same
time a corps of Engineers started from
WashingtonCourt Houle, working North
and touching: at every county through
whieh the line extends.' On Monday last,
the surveying corps was in the vicinity of
Arlington, and will probably reach this
city by Saturday.
The line is undoubtedly a good one, as
far as developed, and if designed especial
ly for the building up of the country
through which it passes, will meet with
encouragement. If intended to concen
trate business at the present large cen
ters, which is the mainspring of most of
such projects, it will hardly meet the en
couragement which former projects have
done. The project should, however, be
carefully studied so that when the pro
jectors of the route, (as they undoubtedly
will do,) come among you to solicit aid,
you maybe able to act intelligently in the
matter and as liberally as the benefits ex
pected to be derived will justify.

Chillicothe District Conference.
The Chillicothe District Conference of
the M. E. Chuch held its eleventh session
at Good Hope, O., July 30th and 31st,
1878.
There was a good attendance both on
the part of the members of the Confer
ence and the people of the town and
country. The Presiding Elder, Rev. J.
H. Creighton, in his report, gave a full
and encouraging statement of the work
done on the district during the year. The
reports of the pastors of the several
charges were also full of encouraging
facts, indicating that the Church, in
many of its interests, is making decided
advances, Among other favorable things
it may be noted that several new churches
are being built on this district this year.
The licenses of the Loeal Preachers and
Exhorters were renewed, and one new
license to preach was granted. Three
persons were recommended for Deacon's
orders and one for Elder's orders.
There was also three recommendations
to the Annual Conference for admission
into the traveling connection.
The. Conference passed very decided
resolutions againstthe spurious camp
meetings that are being held in our midst
in these days, in which the Sabbath is
desecrated for money-making purposes.
These resolutions urge all true friends of
the (Jhurch to discountenance, In every
way possible, these camp-meetings, so
called, and to draw a very careful dis
tinction between them and the true camp
meetings, under the control of the Church
for definite religious work.
A Woman's Missionary Meeting was
held during the Conference, under the
management of Mrs. S. E. Creighton and
Miss Carrie Scott, both ot Chillicothe.
Sermons were preached during the
session by Rev. L. C. Brooks, Rev. T. G.
Wakefield and Rev J. P. Pillsbury.
A vote of thanks was very heartily
given to the people of Good Hope town
and circuit, for their hospitality, and
kindness shown the members of the Con
ference. Massieville was selected as the place for
holding the next District Conference.

Admission Fees to Camp-Meetings.
Rock Mills, O., Aug. 14, '78.
Eds. Herald:
The practice now so prevalent, that of
charging an admittance fee to camp
meetings, is, in our opinoin, entirely
wrong, and should be abandoned at once.
We give as our reason : God never intend
ed that we should pay for hearing His
word preached, and that it debars myri
ads of the poorer class of people from the
religious privileges to which they are cer
tainly entitled.
We boast of our religious and educa
tional privileges, but are com pel led to pay
an admittance fee - before entering the
camp-grounds. The Church authorities
could, with the same propriety i station :t
man at the door of every church and com
pel the church-going people to pay beforo
entering. The practice is intolerable and
should no lonercr be allowed to exist as a
barrier against our churches in this en
lightened and civilized age. Can we not
hope for a speedy return of the good old
ways of our ancestors, so we can worship
according to tho dictates of our con
sciences, without being compelled to pay
ten cents. Instead of charging an admit
tance fee they should open the gates of
their camp grounds anil Invite the way
faring sinners to come; by so doing the
glorious cause of Christ would be ad
vanced. More anon.' Roddlk.
