TIRE ELECTIONS Ohio and Pennsylvania
Since the election in these two States,
the Locofocos have been playing the brOg
game TO excess. They figure up mujorities
and boast Of 10000 in Ohio and $4,000 in
Pennsylvania, when they won't get the
half in either State. The Statesman publish
es figures which puts the lie upon its culcu-
lations and then runs up its majority by
stating that"the Wing strong.holds are all
in" So they are, butthey are just the ploc-
es where we didn't gain. In Ohio, we will
reduce Woods Majority Of 10000 to lcs
than half, and 80 far as Pennsy lvnnia is con
cerned, she is safe for Scott beyond doub,
SO Is Ohio, if Locofocoism cannot Goa
doubling Wings to stay at home. OHIt
WILL GIVE SCOTT 10000 MAORI
TY. We have no additional returns sine
Saturday, and have heard of nothing toin
duce US to alter our figures published in Sat
urday's paper. The brag game wont win
when Scott, is In the field, The people toi
vote for him. Santa Anna tried that game
but Scott's soldiers would fight for him.

THE WING VIcToRY IN HAMILTON CoUN-
TY.-Ifthe defeat of the corrupt clique of
Loco(oco politicians, called the Miami Tribe,
were the only gratifying result OF the late
election, the Wings ofthe State would have
cause for rejoicing. Had our Wing friends
gained no other advantage, over their former
position, yet would the utter route of set OF
harpies, who have lorded not over their own
county and city merely, but also over their
party in the entire State, be "glory enough
for one day." Saws the Atlas:
ave do not wish to stand as godfather at
the christening Of this victory--it is enough
for us that truth and honesty have triumphed,
and that for this great triumph of principle
we are mainly indebted to the independence
of our German friends. Call these Demo
crats-call them Bolters-call them Saw
bucks-call them, ns the Miamis yesterday
did, "the damned DUTCH" il you will, they
acted like independent freemen and as sucf
we love and esteem them. Henceforth lie
no midnight cabal attempt to govern these
noble frcemen-let them slander the Wing:
| if they will-let them falsify and misrepre
sent our political views as they will-et then
villify and traduce the great defender of the
American flag if they will-let them again
fawn and fatter the German voters if they
will-corruptio has met its rebuke, and the
corruptionists cannot again impose on these
people. Let usrejoice over this triumph al

DESTRUCTION OF AN OLD IIousE--A
Remin,scence Norfolk last week n three
story brick house on Little water street
built in 1904, was destroyed by fire. The
Norfolk Herald says:
1t was in this house that shocking trage'
dy occurred in 1906. Two gamblers, broth.
ers, of the name of Davis, rented the third
story for the purpose of keeping Pharo Ia
Bile. One night an Italian, whose name we
believe was Colmini, (Coalminer, as he was
commonly called,) visited this establishment
and meeting with extraordinary luck, final.
y broke the bank. The Davises and an
other of their fraternity charged him with
cheating; he protested his innocence, but il
was to no purpose. They attempted tc
seize him, but he broke from them and fled
down narrow dark stairway, all three in
close pursuit On the. second landing he
stepped aside, unperceived, and as each pas
scd him on the right, in the dark. he gave
him fatal stab with a stiletto in the lef
side, and pushed him down the next fight
The two Davises were mortally wounded
and died within "a hours; their companio1
fingered several weeks and died also. The
italian escaped.

CURIOUS EccLEsIAsTTcAL TRIAL.-The
Pittsburgh Journal has the following state
ment respecting very singular trial before
the elders of Presbyterian church in Bea-
yer county, which has just been concluded:
Two farmers, members Ofthe same Church.
surrendered portions of their lands for the
construction Of the Ohio and Pennsy lvanis
Railway. Mr.. A gave the right ol way for
nothing, and also grounds for a station
which was needed on his farm. B received
FIVE thousand dollars damages, and other
considerations. A went into the business
of selling town lots around the station, ana
is gradually making money. having re-
ceived his damages "in pile" after some .
time got tired OF his bargain, and entered
suit against the Railroad Company tor hav-
! ing defraudcd him, and succeeded IN work
/ ing himself into a most hearty hatred Oh
rails, locomotives, and every thing connect
cd Herewith; and when he saw that A was
pleased with the railway, and was likely TO
make money out of the improvement, lnclu-
ded him in his displeasure.
The suit against the railroad has not
progressed very rapidly, and in the mean
time, Mr.. d. thought there was chance ol
punishing Mr.. A. and bringing the railroad
into disgrace, at single stroke; SO he accu'
sed his neighbor and fellow-member, before
the Church, OF grossly immoral conduct: -
A trial was granted, and before assembled
elders, Mr.. B. solcmnly accused Mr.. A. o
owning stock in a railroad that practiced ant
encouraged. immortality; the Ohio ant
Pennsylvania railroad having, as he alleged
broken the Sabbath by running cars ant
making repairs; and having injured thu
cause of temperance by carrying barrels o
whisky as freight.
Itw admitted that the cars had run OF
Sunday when the Saturday night train una
voidably fell behind time; that barrels o
whisky might have been shipped on tn
freight train, and lastly, that Mr. A. was
stockVholder; then we need scarcely add, tn
elders most solemnly acquitted Mr.. A.
the charge against him.
But Mr.. B. will not premt the purity o
the Church to be sulIied in this manner
He Intends to appeal to the Synod whic
will assemble in this city next month, an
T after that will. no doubt, carry the case t
the highest tribunal ofall--the General AS
sembly.

Fire.-About noon today, the cry of fire
was heard above the wind and the alarm
was responded to quickly. The fire proved
to be in the house Of Judge Wright, printer
in the Eagle office, but was fortunately put
out before it got under headway.

ONO ELEcTIoN.--We have the unofficial
reports of some sixty-fve counties, and the
Journal has the entire vote ofabout 90 coun-
ties. The result shows that about $4,000
voters in the State did not attend the polls.
This must not be the case on the I'd of No
vember, and we appeal with confidence to
the wings of Fairfield to do their duty. We
know they will not falter when they are a
ware that full vote will give Ohio to Gen.

A LESSON FOR WHIGs.--We have good
Cause, and man for leader, altogether wor-
thy Of il and our best efforts. What have
the Wings done in the recent election!--
"Look, )" says the Scioto Gazette, sat Picka'
way and franklin, where the Wings 'OOrked
as Wings always work when they do their
duty. 800 majority in one, and 575 lin the
other, are practical demonstrations Of the ad-
vantages OF ndustry-vigilance. In Mus
kingum, as in Ross, the vote was not polled
by 1000. Our friends there, in consequence,
secured but 600 majority, where they can
easily give 1900. They did not organize
they did not WORK. But, in the county OF
Guernsey, usually Locofoco, the whole whig
ticket was elected, with one uncomfortable
exception. Morgan, too,--a DOUBTFUL coun-
ty, generally gives nearly 800 average
Wing majority. In good old Washington
from $50 to 400 are the majorities for State
officers and for Congress. In all these
counties, our friends are well organized, and
went into the election as men ought to, wh'
'know their rights, and knowing would main
tain -
That's the whole story. The Wings have
gained where they worked; have lost where
they were idle. 1t is not too late yet. Th'
result is in their hands. Let every voter b
at the polls. In Muskingum, Perry, Fair
field and Ross, four counties only, we cal
gain 1000.

Col. MEDILL.-Our attention is directed
to the following in last weeks Eagle:
"This is not his first attack upon our fel-
low -citizen, Col. Medill. Last year, just on
the eve of the election, he was charged with
drunkenness, and almost every other moral
and political sin;--and what was its effect!
Why, even the Wings were indignant atthe
foul aspersions cast upon one of their most
honored citizens; and the Wing township oil
Hooking hurled back the vile ISLANDERS at the
ballot box, and gave Col. Medill 81 majority
and swelled his majority in this county to
l400."
The implication is that we made the charge
Of Drunkenness against Col. Medill. That
is false, but no matter. He ran few votes
ahead fhis ticket, by personally. .persuading
few Wings to vote for him, and treating
every one whose support he thought he could
gain in that way. That charge will not be
denied. If he is satisfied with the Edgb
calling it out, we are perfectly SO; and ifany
more is wanted, we have them on hand
The attack that was made on him by some
Temperance men, did not influence one vote
either way. One thing is certain, no mar
begged harder for votes or used more efforts
TO procure them, than did the honorable
candidate for Lieut. Governor Of the grea

A PROFITABLE Sow AND PIGs.-Eds. o.
hio Cultirator:-I have breeding SOW that
brought forth -thirty-seven pigs in eleven
months. She raised twenty of them, and
sixteen Of these fed through the Summer
and sold them on the 10th of September
Twelve of them averaged 2S3 lbs. each
gross, and brought $4,37 per cwt.-making
$l4S,75. -Four others { February pigs)
weighed l5o each (gross) and sold for $4,25
per cwt-S25,5O Two others gave away,
worth $l2,50 The remaining two are kept
as breeding sows and have eight pigs-to-
together worth $40. The old sow has now
a litter of pigs, and is worth with her pigs
$9--making the round sum of $2o3,25 as the
cash value Of one sow and her progeny in
eighteen months. This may seem like a
large.story, but the fact and the figures are
before you, and can be relied on as correct.
Query: What would be the value of the
progeny of one such SOW for period of ten
years, If all the females were kept as breed
ers! Would not the soil, corn and hogs in
that time yield as great returns as an aver
age placer in California!

two since, we received the irst number Of a
new paper, called the "Columbian," pub
lished awayup at Olympia, Puget's Sound,
by ]. w. Wiley and TT. McElroy. He
always manages to publish readable and
excellent paper, and the number before us is
worthy OF an older and more densely popu-
lated country. We wish the proprietots
much success. They think Northern Ore
gon is equal to the Valley of the Willamette

sounded abroad by aid of the press, that it
will prove equally inviting to those desiring

From Caiitornia.--Lettcrs were received
yesterday from Mr.. Samul Grim, dated Marys-
vile, September 9 1859. from which We learn
that the train arrived in California about the
Ist of September. The men composing the
company were all in good health and spirits,
and the stock consisting ofsixty -four horses,
thirty-two oxen and three teams, reached
their destination in remarkably good condi-
tion for so long journey.
1t is the intention Of Messrs. Grim g.
Sturgeon, to recruit their animals during the
coming winter, and put them in market in
the spring. Grim writes that their prospects
of selling the stock at big figures, are better
than when they left home, and that il .. i'll
not cost them as much to put them in order
on California grass, as it would in Ohio
( They lost but one animal on their journey
out.
Mr.. Sturgeon, with Joshua Stuckcy ant
Sims Streets, had not at the date Of Grim;
letter, arrived at Marysville. They were
stopping in the mountains about hundred
miles distant, feeding the stock, and Grin
had gone on in advance to reconnoitre.
The arrivals at Downieville, from ncros
the plains, for the week ending Sept. lth
1852, were as follows:-Samnel Grim, Thorn
as Sturgeon, VIM. Kuqua, William Thomp
son, Samuel Thompson, Albert Brown, Ho

Mewhorier, l., p Foust, D. Alexander, JohT

ard Miller, Samuel Smcthers, ,Solt mon Ghas
ter, Solomon Brenaman,A. R. Ghingcr,W
liam Jacobs, Joshua Stukey, G. Cass, ant
Sims Streets and D. Brown. About eighteeI
or twenty had left the train at Great Sal
Lake, but had not arrived at Marysville, a
the date of Crim's letter. Two ofthem, Dan
iel Ghinger and D. B. Miller, it will be re
membered, died before reaching Salt Lake
By an obituary notice from the Marysvill
d Herald, the reader will learn Of the death O
]. C. Maccracken Of this city. He was q
the time doing good business, with ever
: prospect of success. The blow will faI
heavily upon his relatives and friends.

MANUFACTURING MAJoR1TIEs.--For a
right down good earnest falsehood, with d
chance to creep out of it by telling another,
we commend our neighbor Of the Eagle; but
for regular blunt untruth, without pos
sibility ofargument, our neighbor of the TEL
egraph can head even Sam Medary and hold
a close race with the editor of the Cleveland
Plaindealer. For instance, in its table Of
Locofoco gains, published in yesterdays pa
per, it doubles counties and in several in
stances doubles majorities. 1t has Miami
1870, and Miami 100; Fairfield 80, and Fair
field TT; Hooking 70, and Hooking 40;
Pike 100, and Pike l64; Green l2l Wing
gain, and Green 81 Locofoco gain. That
will do for sample. It must suppose it's
readers are as verdant as the chap who pre-
tends to edtit. By pursuing the same
course, it can easily make out a majority Of
90 900 for its party, and double upon that if
necessary. So far as effect is concerned,
the Eaoh must knock under. AS single
falsifier, it does well; but for duplicate liar,
the columns of the Telegraph must be con-
suited. ~
