Hamilton Co. Executive Committee.

N@-eeeA3NN
The last meeting of this Committee
was well attended-better we believe,
than any previous meeting. A har-
monious spirit pervaded the members.
The call for material aid" was re-
sponded to by Sycamore township,
$25; Miami township, 1915; and
Fulton, 81, so, making $50 in ALL
Fulton is the only township that has
paid in the amount of the call.
The following resolution was
adopted:
Resolved, That committee of FIVE
be appointed to procure speakers,
make appointments as to time and
place, and superintend the meetings"
The Committee have already taken
the necessary steps to secure some of
the best and most popular speakers
of the day. Hon. @. N. Olds and
DR.. Jewett, will soon be with us.

G. F. Stewart, ESQ.

We are happy to say to the friends
of temperance that this talented and
staunch advocate of the cause has so
arranged his business, that his servi-
ces, during the campaign, can be pro-
cured by the friends Of the cause
To those not acquainted with him and
his abilities, we will state that Bro. s.
spoke at the Columbus State Conven-
ton, held during the last year. His
speech was spoken Of by the Colum-
bus papers as one Of the best ever de-
livered to a Columbus audience. We
only mention this particular effort that
those in want of speaker may know
that he will leave his mark wherever
he raises his voice against the liquor
traffic. We hope the Executive Com
mittee will at once enlist his services,
and send him to Tifin, Springfield,
Bellefontaine, Xenia, Cincinnati,
Cleveland, Sandusky City, Zanes-
vile. Newark, &c.

Ladies, Tsmperanoe Convention.

Ahu40b 4OmPcAoAS0 VVAHOAhAVA'
The meeting Of the women Of this
city and county came off at Carthage
on Thursday Of last week. About
1900 females were in attendance.
We have cOnyersed with one of the
ladies present, who represents the
meeting to have been all that the
warmest advocates of the cause could
desire.
The meeting was opened with
prayer by Mrs. Sarah Jane Rowe,
wife of Rev. Wesley Rowe. Mrs. E.
R. Thatcher was called to the Chair,
who performed her difficult and ardu-
GUS duties with her accustomed skill
and ability. Several Of the ladies
made elegant and appropriate ad-
dresses. Those by Mrs. ELIZA A.
CURTIS, of this city, and Miss JULIA
GIBSON, we're characterized by unu-
sual ability and power. There are
some Lucy Stones in Ohio as well as
New York.
The resolutions adopted by the
meeting we have not room to insert.
The Convention appointed Dele-
gates to attend the State Convention,
to be held in Dayton, on the 2lst
inst. The next county meeting will
be held at Plainville, on the Little
Miami Railroad, nine miles from this
city, on the 18th inst.

The Milford Church

The "Christian Advocate" of this
week, contains letter signed by the
Trustees of the above Church, in re-
lation to Gen. Cary, and an article of
his published in the "Organ'' of the
18th ult. The letter in question is
vituperative and slanderous in every
line. In our humble opinion, such a
communication is in very bad taste,
coming as it does from the rulers in
the Church of the living God. We
have a right to expect more Of the
Christian spirit of forbearance, as
taught within the lids of the Holy
Bible, from the rulers and high priests
of the synagogue. Does it show a
Christian spirit to numerically attack,
villify and traduce, without any re-
gard to truth, the character, reputa-
ton and honor of a fellow man, who,
by reason of his absence on mission
Of mercy, cannot defend himself ?
We think not. Our Bible does not
teach that kind of Christian duty.
When that which gave the offense,
has been virtually retracted by his
friends, whose course he will approve,
why should this envenomed SANDER
be heaped upon him ? Why not, like
men and Christians, let Gen. Cary
speak for himself on his return. He
is not the man to cling to error when
truth stares him in the face. If he
was wrongly informed, he will retract
when convinced of his error but he
will lay on and spare not, if right.
He has no sympathy for those Christ.
ians who lean towards the liquor
traffic. He has exposed the members
of his own Church who are directly
or indirectly connected with the traf-
fc, as also those of other denomina-
tions and the files of the "Organ"
will show that he has written more in
praise Of the Methodist Church, for
its adherence to temperance, than any
other Church in the land. We are
astonished that the Editor Of the cad
vocate," (whom we highly esteem for
his many virtues Of head and heart, J
admitted this villainous letter into his
columns, knowing that Gen. Cary was

ELEcTRoTYPING.- admirable pro-
cess is now applied to the production of
plates toprint from, and we should think
must put an end to the use of Stereotype
plates. Eiectrotyping can now be done
as cheaply as Stereotyping, if not more
SO, while the plates, being of copper, the
type are much more durable than those
produced by Stereotyping. In the E.
lectrotype process most of the labor is
done by Electricity. A mould of type
is taken in bees-wax. This mould is
then put into liquid containing copper
IN solution, and powerful gaIvanic
battery is applied. The electricity ex-
tracts the copper from the liquid, and de-
posites it atom by atom, in the mould,
filing every cavity with the utmost per-
lection. The usual routine in the prin-
clple, if not the only establishments in
this city, is to make the moulds in the
day time, and put them into the batteries
just before going home at night. In the
morning, the worklnen find that the E.
lectr lefty has been steadily at work all
night. 1t has performed its allotted task
beautiful fac-simile plates, in solid cop
per, are taken from the liquid, ready for
use. It is by the employment of an a.
gent that never tires or sleeps, that F.
lectrotype plates are produced cheaper
and quicker than Stereotypes can be
made New York Tribune.

For the Grant County Herald.
FOR the following Reasons vyfas
not vote for a ProsaibiaOTy E4h-
QssOr Law:

| Such law is an insidious scheme.
to abridge "cIvIL LIBERTY, which Is
the boast of Americans everywhere.
2 Such law is calculated to intro
duce malignant feelings between neigh
bors.
8 Such law is arbitrary and oppres-
sive, because it grants to corporations
the right of making and holding pro-
perty which il prohibits individuals to
do.
4. A law which prohibits the manu-
facture of Intoxicating liquors, prohibits
the making of cider, wine, small-beer,
Sc, as these liquors contain alcohol
which can be obtained without 1istilla-
ton.
5. Such a law being taoin brother to
the Stamp .9ct; brother to the alien and
sedition laws and German-cousinsto the
Infamous Fugitive Slave law, and Uih
be disregarded by every man, scho does moi
need guardian: and hence disregard
for all law.
6. Such law is without morale, be-
cause majority Of those who use intox-
icating liquors, are as good citizens as
any in the country.
7. The object of a prohibitory liquor
law seems to be the propagation of Tenn
perance; and not the protection Of The
Rights of the temperate citizen.

MAN SHoT.-Alexis Barker was xiii
led last week by ball discharged from
gun in the hands Of VIM. earns at
at Fairplay. We have not the particu-
lars, but learn the parties had quarreled
previous to the deadly ARRAY.
Since writing the above we have re-
ceived the Galena Gazette, cont aiming
the following account upon the authori-
ty of a cores pondent:
ssBarker had threatened violence to
both earns and his wife on Wednesday,
and drew jack knife in their presence,
where upon earns then loaded his rifle,
and ordered him to leave the premises,
or he should be compelled to shoot h i'm.
Upon this he left for that day. Next
day he returned, and was shot, as above.
The ball passed just above his heart
As he fell, he pronounced the word,
"Amen." No weapon was found upon
him but the jack knife, and that unopen-
ed i'll his pocket. The two had former
ly worked at mining together. Barker
was a man Of rowing habits, without a
family, and had difficulties before with
others. earns is an old resident, took
part in the Black Hawk war, is well
known and generally respected.

DR.. 0. Pratt, of Patch Grove, Grant
Co., communicates to the Madison Jour-
nal an account of a young ''school- marm"
getting married, in that vicinity, TO a
Norwegian, clandcstineIy, and after he
had lived with her two weeks, her faith
er came to their cabin, asked her if she
did not wish to return with him. She
replied in the affirmative, and off she
started, leaving her washing boiling in
the kettle. Soon John came home, saw
the condition of things, started in pur-
suit of his faithless ''dearie,'' and over
took her; but all his eloquence was OF
no avail in persuading her TO return to
his protection. She babe him lohp
farewell without shedding single
tear, leaving him with heart bursting
with grief.
Reader, this is hard story, and, If
true, we hope it has few counterparts ;
Tor 1t so reminds one of the mutability OF
Woman's love. Romance is well enough
IN its place, but when it interferes and
destroys the Eden of domestic life, il
goes step too far. Their tale like all
others, we SUI pose, has its moral, but

We have long believed the best market

there have been few or no produce mer-
