For the Spirit Of Democracy.
Strange Phenomenon.

As / nave been informed that there are
different stories in circulation, in regard
to the above mentioned phenomenon, seen
on the Goth day Of this month, near John
Clingan's, in Centre township, Monroe
county. Ohio, here give q statement as it
appeared to me. On the morning Of the
2Oih, between 9 and 10 o'clock A. M,
near Robert Clingan's house, l met Rob-
ert Clingan and Benjamin Rouse and
stopped, and had passed a few words,
when Robert Clingan said, "Look there"
pointing up the creek. l looked and saw
something falling. When | first saw it, il
was perhaps 80 or 35 degrees above the
horizon, and it descended fast as though
IL was q weighty substance and from 2 to
"a feet long, and about a foot in width.
As the run shone bright it had the appear
ance Of polished silver or new tin. It
could not have fallen more than 8 or A
hundred yards from where we we're. We
oil three saw it and it had about the same
appearance to all. We talked about it,
but did not go to see what it was.

mittee, for Monroe county, held in Woodsield.

olutions were adopted:
Resoloed, That the Democratic electors of

spective townships, at the usual places OF holding

According to the law of this State the electors
residing in that part of Noble county. formerly

the candidates for Senator, Representative and
Member of the State Board of Equalization for this
District, consequently the democrats residing in
that part of Noble will be expected to participate

correspond with the central Committee Of Guern-
sey county relative to candidates for Senator and

The first section declares that no per.

1UO ttob oCStlOll eaAUt Nv PShr
son shall be allowed at any time to manu-:
facture or sell liquor. Our Constitution
allows both.
The second shows that the Selectmen.
Mayor, and Alderman, may appoint a
suitable person TO sell spirituous liquors.
They are to give him a certificate of ap-
pointment, by his giving a bond TO the
amount of six hundred dollars. These
both together surely is no less than a H.
cense. Our Constitution declares that
there shall be no license granted. A part
Of this belongs to the Sd section.
The fourth is a little like some Of our
Monroe laws, or like a certain old gentle
mans preacher that | know. "rather Sc
%vere," especially for small offences. To
be fined from ten dollars 10 imprisonment
four months, surely is hard, only in ag-
gravated cases. Again. No person can
be an agent except in a town or city-none
in the country, be it ever so densely pop
ulated. The general feature of the law
does not agree with our organic law.
Look at the injustice that might be done
from the 18th section. Suppose a fine,
good citizen, was keeping a boarding tent
at a camp-meeting, had nothing offensive
about, but an i%ll-disposed person, DESTROYS
of getting up a row and under cover Of
night. slips a vessel of intoxicating liquor
into the possession Of that honest. honor.
able, and good-meaning man, then 60 and
give information Of the fact of such a man
having in his possession intoxicating il.
quor; an officer comes to see; the honest
man denies, a search is made, the liquor
is found; the honestman is wonder struck;
the duty of the officer is to seize the liquor,
arrest the man and take both before a Jus.
tee or a Judge forthwith. And what now
do you think is to be done or had? ga
fair trial before that Justice, Judge, or a
jury, Of course" says one. No, sir. The
section provides that upon proof that said
liquor is intoxicating, that it was found
in possession of the accused in a tent,
shanty or other place, he or They shall be
sentenced to imprisonment in the County
Jail for thirty days! There is no chance
for him to prove his innocence, or his in
%tention. or his actions being good. No
defence is allowed! Now the 18th section
allows an appeal to the District Court from
the judgment Of the Justice, or Judge, by
him giving bond with two good sureiies
for one hundred dollars. All this and 9th.
er troubles might be saved by allowing a
defence. But enough on temperance.
1t seems to me that the people are, and
ought to be as much interested about
schools, and their tax, as they are about
intoxicating liquors. would favor an ACT
describing three grades Of teachers-a
first, a second, and a third, and making il
the duty Of the Board of Education to dis
pose OF teachers according to the wants
of the several districts. would also 90
for reducing the wages OF Legislators down
to the old noich-three dollars per day
instead of four.
