H1Gu PRICES OF BLooDED SrocK.-A
few weeks since, Col. e. Spencer, of
Claridon, in this county, disposed of
seven head of his full blooded stock for
the sum of $3.50. One COW drought
from Ky,) and her yearling calf were
sold to Messrs. Palmer s. Stephenson,
of Chester, for $500, and the other five
to the Shakers of W a~rrensviile for $3.50.
The latter were one, two andthree years
old, and are fine specimens Of this kind
of stock. No man in our county has
done more to introduce among US fine
blooded stock than Colonel Spencer, and
the liberal prices he obtains for them
will amply remunerate him for his
trouble. We are glad to learn that
many of our farmers in the different
townships are turning their attention to

Rev. SAMUEL MooDY of Ashland Ohio,
Pastor of the churches of Hopewell and
Orange, was drowned on the oath inst,
in the Ohio river, opposite We1lsville,
Ohio. He left home on the 18th inst,
to visit relatives in the vicinity Of Hooks
town, Pa. On the oath inst. he started
home, and was accompanied to the river
by his brother, JAMES MooDY. Arriving
at the ferry he entered a skif with his
little daughter, the ferryman and three
others. The skif was lying in an eddy
below a projecting wharf, around the end
of which the current washed rapidly. A
little below the skif a ferry boat was
moored. When the skif was pushed
from shore the bow struck the current,
was turned downward, dashed violently
against the ferry boat and sunk. Three
of the men seized the ferry boat and es-
capped. Mr.. NJ, his daughter, and the
ferryman were swept away. Another
skif was manned and fastened, if posi-
BILE to a Y them but before it could
reach them Mr. NJ. and the ferryman
had sunk to rise no more. The littlo
girl, buoyed up by her dress, float
ed nearly forty rods, and vas rescued
without material injury. Tho body of
Mr.. Nj. had not been obtained at IL
O'Clock, A. NJ. on the Goth inst.
Mr.. NJ. was born Feb. IA. 1901, in
Northampton Co., Pa. He was hope
fully converted during a revival which
occurred in the Fall of 1922, in Mill
creek church, under the pastoral care of
Rev. G. ScoTr. In 1928 he felt called
to commence preparation for the gospel
ministry, and entered Washington Col
lege. Here he continued prosecuting
his studies until he reached his senior
year, when the college suspended. He
then entered Jefferson College and grad
uated in Oct, 1929. He subsequently
taught a year. He was a member of tho
first class which entered the Western
Theological Seminary, at the time of its
organization. At the close of his theolo-
gical course he was licensed to preach
the gospel by the Presbytery of Wash
.ing.o7. He labored for some time in
feeble chances in that Presbytery and in
a mission town to the south west. Sub
sequently he was called to the passionate
of the Big Spring church in the western
part of the Presbytery of Steubenville,
in eastern Ohio. Having accepted the
cali, he was ordained and installed by
that Presbytery. On the 18th of Feb,
le41, he was married to Miss MARGARET
A. DoNEHEx. In 1843 he was called to
the churches Of H~opewell and Orange,
in the Presbytery of Richland. Deem
ing it his duty to accept that call, he
removed to Ashland in July of that year.
Having been installed as Pastor of these
churches he continued to labor here in
his Masters vineyard until called to a
higher service by that Redeemer who he
delighted to honor. He was a man of
vigorous mind and sound judgment,
most amiable in temper, and u~nofensiVc
in habit of devoted piety, and diligent
and laborious in his calling. He has
left a wife and five children.

stevens, Floating RatterY.

The New York Times, in a notice OF
Robert L: Stevens, (Iately deceased) of
Hoboken, among other things, thus men,
tions the" Floating Battery about
which SO much has been conjectured:
He was commissioned by the United
States Government, some ten or twelve
years since,to build an immense steam
battery for harbor defence. The proper
:ions of this projected work were enor-
nous, and the outlay has been in proper
tion. The battery is to measure 400
feet in length, and 20 in width, and
have an immense amount of propelling
and projectile force.
This curious piece of machinery Is
being constructed in a Dry Dock near
the ferry at Hoboken, within a close
fence, and great secresy has been main
tanned in reference to its peculiarltles.
The understanding is, that the vessel
is to be built of thick plates of sheet
iron, selected with great care IN WoIes,
its stem and stern are clipper built,
with rudders at both ends, fat bottomed,
with a large wheel in the middleto act as
the propelling power.
Rumor further says hat the vessel
will measure six thousand tons; will be
pierced on each side for thirty guns,
heavy calibre, and be provided with
large furnaces for heating shot. There
will also be on stem and stern decks
our large revolving "Peace-Makess;" it
is to have no masts. It's engines, also,
or propulsion, are of peculiar cons'ruc.
ton. It will be bali and b~omb-proof,
and the hull will not only be divided
into compartments, but will be literally
comprised of two strong and distict
vessels, one setting within the other.
The professed intention is to locate
this vessel in the harbor of New York,
about midway between the Battery and
Staten Island. Several years have al
:eady passed since the contract for this
vessel was given to Mr.. Stevens. IN
this time some eight hundred thousand
dollars have been appropriated by the
for its construction

Editor Ashland Union SIN As

Editor Ashland Union : SIR As YOU
appear to be laboring with commendable zeal
to keep your readers posted in regard to all
matters affecting their political, social and pc
cuniary welfares, permit US to call their atten-
ton to the fact that we have just received the
heaviest stock of Spring and Summer Goods
that we have ever brought to this market. An
extended enumeration of our stock we deem
altogether unnecessary for the reason that eve
ny one who will favor US with a call will find it
complete in every department. We would
simply simply say that it embraces articles of
every style, variety and quality of Ladies'
Dress Goods, and Gentlemen's Summer Wear,
together with a large assortment of House
Keeping Goods, Queensware, Groceries, DC.
Having changed our mode of doing business
it will be proper for US to state, for the salts
faction Of our old customers, briefly, our rea-
sons for so doing. Our first great object is to
sell goods CHEAP. To do this we must have the
money to buy our goods cheap. We wish to
avoid the losses of bad debts and g long wind
ed customers we wish to save the expense
of keeping books and making collections. By
so doing we can and will sell goods at much
less profits than is possible for any credit store
to do 1st, because we shall have the money
to buy our goods, which will save US 10 per
cent, /; 2nd, because we shall save the expense
of one Clerk /; Sd, we will save ) per cent. for
making collections, losses by bad debts and
expense of books. All things considered. we
Think it safe to say that it will make a differ
enee of at least Is per cent. to the consumer.
This being true we think every man, woman
and child who can pay for their goods, will
avail themselves of the advantages of this sys-
tenn. Those who never expect to pay for their
goods. Of course care butlittle about the price.
All those who wish to buy goods cheap for rea.
dy pay can find a stock of goods which for va
riety, styles and low prices, has never been
equaled in the County, by calling on their
friends and well-wishers,
