The RESULT IN MEIGs CoUNrY.-We
have not examined the vote of other coun-
ties; but presume this county is a fair cri-
tsrion by which to judge of the rest
The total vote given IN this county at the
last Presidential election was 1916. The
total vote this year was 3,145--a falling
of Of eight hundred and Mirty-ons.
To ascertain which party those who
stayed at home belong to, let us compare
the returns with those Of last year, in few
townships. The only township in the
county which gave an increased vote for
Payne over Buchanan is Salisbury. Blu
chanan had 444, Payne AIS, yet the de-
crease in the total vote of the township lie
I46. This increase of the Democratic
vote was undoubtedly obtained from the
American ranks, where there is decrease
Of nearly one hundred votes.
In Bedford township the vote last year
stood: Fremont 63, Buchanan 1873, Fill
more 25. This year, Chase So, Payne
i3I, Van Trump z. The Democrats
loose 2, Republicans II, Americans g.
In Chester, last year, the vote stood:
Fremont 1919, Buchanan lo9, Fillmore 9.
This year: Chase l46, Payne 94. Rep
loss So, Dem. loss Is. American loss g.
In Columbia last year the vote stood
Fremont lO2, Buchanan 72. Fillmore 8
This year Chase &c, Payne 49. Rep. loss
36, Dem. loss 90, American loss 8.
But why proceed? the same result will
BE- found everywhere. The only argu
ment is that the Democrats turned ou'
better than the Republicans. While they
gave very nearly their full vote, a gre"
many Republicans in each township stayed
at home.
We presume Mr. Payne's vote was co.
900 less than Buchanan's, and yet, while
Fremont had near 10 900 majority, Chase
will scarcely have 1000. We have no
doubt the vote this fall will fall short oi
that given last year over 10000, three
fourth of which is Republican and Amer
ican. Tie Republican party to-day, in
Ohio, has clear majority Of $4,000; but
the difficulty is to get our voters TO the
POLLS.

BY carries of the teeth is meant decay
ing or changing of the structure of a
healthy too,h inlo a mass Of dead or inor-
ganic matter.
But The better writers in medical science
have made it custom in describing dis
ease, to give description of the healthy
structure Of the parts, before the ravayes
of disease had commenced. IG is propos-
ed. then, in this sketch, to first give de-
scriplion Of the number and structure of
the human teeth in their healthy state;
secondly, the progress and final cause of
caries and, thirdly, the manner of treat
ing them.
First, then, the human teeth are thirty
two in number, for full set; sixteen in
the superior maxiliary (jaw) bone, and
sixteen in the inferior nIaxilmIy bone
The four upper and lower front ones are
called incisors. from the manner in which
they cut the food when first taken into the
mouth. The next four, two above and TWO
below. are called cuspids. from their hav
ing sharp points. Then comes five on each
side of lesser and larger molars, SO called
from the manner in which they grind or
make the IooI fine in the forming of the
chyle before entering the duodenum.
The shape of the incisors Is convex ex-
ternally, and conrave internally; that OF
the cuspids lOr eye teeth is convex ex-
ternally, and eOncave internally, having
an obtuse cone-shaped point for holding a
portion Of food whilst the incisors divide
it. That of bieuspids. or bicus- pidati,
and molars, is cylindrical, having broad
artieulatiDg surfaces for masticating the
food. Longitudinally, the tooth is divided
into fang, neck and crown. The crown
has hard dense covering over it called
enamel.

Mother was left with a large family Of
helpless and extravagant children, with
little available property, encumBered with
debts. unhccustomed to business, and sep
alated from all her relations. How she
conducted her husbands business, sup
ported and educated her family, and main
taiDed her erposition in the best society, God
only knows. Knowing something Of her
difficulties. we left home at very early
age. from choice and never afterward re-.
turned, except to visit. Her suferings,
and trials, and difficulties, were concealed
fiom the world, and even from her own
children--they Were known only to herself
and her God. But there have been times
wien unseen by her, we have Witnessed
her mental agony. 1t was in her secret
place, where she communed with her Ma
ker. o, the bitter, bitter anguish she there
-endured, tlat ler family might be happy,
respectable. and useful members of society.
At an early day, she emig,ated TO the
West with portion Of her family. Fan
from ler former friends, away from society,
we found her on the prailies Of Illinois, il
cabin, almost alone. She had willingly
sacrificed every comfort of life, for the pur.
pose of assisting her childien--for the pur.
pose Of regaining their lost fortunes
That Mother, born in affluence. reared r
luxufy and refinement, now sixty years o
age, could be seen on the Western prairies
leaving her cabin lorg before sunrise, t.
weed her garden, and feed her fowls
And amid all this, apparently cheerful a.
the Lark. In all her struggles, she asked
nothing for herself; it WAS all for he
children.
At length her children all left her 70
: comfortable homes of their own. Then
for the first time did sic begin TO enjoy tn
: fruits of her labor. But scarcely had sh
visited each one for short season, ere tn,
: disease of which she died manifested itself
Her children gathered around her, and
Notwithstanding her agony of body, sh

labors, and sufierings, and trials had no

She has gone to her reward. No NOR

the beauties and Comforts of religion. Ye
the lemt mb'ance of her pure and hol
example will not be lost upon those VIII

CklAE AND lAAORAL1Tr.-1 mere are
doubtless seasons in every com muni;y
when vice and crime stalk forth in the
form Of an epidemic, just as the cholera,
or small pox infects neighborhoods at GER
tain times. Such an epidemic is now ra-
ging in this county, and it becomes our
painful duty to chronicle its progress, that
all good men may set about devising sani-
tary measures.
In less than an hour after our arrival at
home, we learned that physician of this
county had been bound over to court for
producing an abortion; and that promi-
nent politician in the same neighborhood-
the father of family. having wife liv-
ing, was placed under bonds to answer
the charge of adultery, and to provide for
the maintenance of All illegitimate child,
the mother being poor, helpless cripple.
Scarcely had we recovered from our as
tonishment, when another most revolving
crime was detailed 10 US. Some tiend in
human form had placed keg of gunpow-
der under the pulpit of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in Middleport, scatter
ing powder in line for some distance, ev-
identity with the design of blowing up the
building in time of service. Fortunately,
it was discovered in time to prevent the
awful catastrophe. The Melhodists have
had a revival in progress there for some
time and it is conjectured that some con-
versions have maddened this demon, who
ever he may be. 1t is supposed large
reward will be offered to ascertain WHO
is the gully party.
On relating this to a friend, he informed
US that on Thursday night last. some in
cendiary had set fire to the Presbyterian
Church in Chester. which was considea-
bly, burned. Fortunately. it was discov-
cred in time to prevent the total destruc-
tion of the building. Another house in
Chester was 6rod tho same time but
owing to the dampness of the material did
not burn much.
Proceeding to the Courthouse, we saw
trial in progress before the Mayor, which,
according to the testimony of the princi-
pal witness, was terrible outrage; but,
considering the character of the parties
concerned, we did not think deserving OF
much serious consideration. A drunken
vagabond had assaulted liquor-seller' Is
wife. If the prosecutors in this case wish
any sympathy from order-loving ci,izens.
in cases of this kind, they must abandon
their hellsh business. In this instance,
the victim did but reap the fruits of hel
own folly.
The above are but portion of the mis-,
demeanors which have come to our knowl-
edge within few days. Is it not high
time that something was done to check
, the progress of the epidemic Wha
!, safety can any man expect, if such things
continue

E1NANCIAI.

One hundred and sixty five heavy bust
ness firms lave failed within the past
month--the liabilities of some Of them
amounting to oversa million Of dollars !;
and almost every paper we receive adds to
the list. Some OF these houses were re-
garded as the most substantial in the coun-
Try. In New York City about $4,000 la
borers were thrown out Of employment in
one week. So it is all over the country,
more or less. Our opinion is, however,
that the panic will be felt much more Sc
verely in the East than in the West and
south; and although there is and will con-
tinue to be much suffering for time, we
think as soon as the immense crops of the
West can be forwarded to the a-board,
the country will be relieved of i,s present
embarrassment. The difficulty seems to
be to find currency to use in purchasing
and forwarding this produce.
We believe this panic will be positive
good to the country, and more particularly
TO the West. 1t will draw the surplus
population of the cities to the cultivation
of the soil. There will be an active de-
mand for Western lands-not for specula
ton, but for settlement. We, of the West
already have more than enough produce tc
pay our d,b,s; and when these are paid
and the gold of the East is sent hither fol
investment in lands, &c, we anticipate
better times than we hav. cnj' 'yed fo
years. In the Eastern les, where th'
panic commenced, it will last longest.

MARBLEIzED lKoN.-While in Cincin-
natl, we visited the extensive workshop o f
Messrs. Horton & Macy, corner of Pearl
and Elm SITS. The senior partner is an old
friend, and the object of our visit was
purely friendship. But we cannot help
saying that the progress made in the man
ufacture of marbleized iron astonished us
beyond measure; and an examination OF
the articles on hand, and knowledge o;
the prices at which they are sold, thor
oughly convinced us that ignorance OF
their beauty and cheapness, alone prevents
their general use. We said nothing to
these gentlemen about advertising. A
hint on that subject might have been deem
ed out of place at that time; /; but if ever
we become interested in such business
where we can afford such magnificent or
naments for dwellings at such insignificant
prices, tie reading pubic may rest assur'
ed the fact will be made known. Our OBJ
ject in writing is not particularly to beneti
our friend, but to inform the public
This notice is altogether unsolicited. L
any oil our readers contemplate building {
new house, let them first visit this estab
lishment. and if they do not order one o
their narbleized maniles or table-tops
then they are either wiser or moro fonlisi

Our TRIp.-Allhough travelling upon
a sad mission, we could not avoid acquir-
ing little information interesting to the
general reader. We left on the steamer
Parkersburg a new and beautiful packet.
running from Parkersburg, Va. to Gin
cinnati. This boat is owned by the Cap
tain (Vaughn) and Clerk { (Roseberiy) ;
both, SO far as we could see, gentlemanly
and attentive officers. The second Clerk
{ Hanley) is quiet and unassuming, and
quite a gentleman. We take pleasure in
c2mmending this new packet to the trav-
cling and business community.
Our des tination was Princeton, Illinois.
So many rival lines of railways have been
constructed, however, we really did no:
know which 10 take, for time. We final
ly concluded TO take the shortest, although
subject to many changes. Our route lay
from Cincinnati, on the Mississippi roau,
to Lawrenceburg. Ia, thence to ndianap-
oils, thence to Lafayette. where we took
the Toledo and Western road to Decatur,
H.; thence by the Illinois Central road to
Mendoza; thence by the Chicago and Bur-
lrngton road to Princeton. Notwithstand-
ing the frequent changes, we found this
the quickest and cheapest route.

The MOLLY MAGUIRE ORDER.-The
new secret order, known outsi, e as Molly

Boston, from whence itextenGed 10 New
York, and all the principal cities of the
Union. 1t is composed exclusively of
Irishmen, or the sons ol Irishmen and is
an adjunct of the Democratic party, con-
trolling It's nominations wherever it can, for
the beneti. of i,s own order. The Buffalo
Express unders ,ands there is one of these
secret societies in that city, in which some
of the bitterest opponents of the Know
Nothing order are leaders. 1t is an ex-
rremely proscriptive faction, compelling
the parry TO yield to its demands, as to
nominations and appointments, wherever
tits strong enough to make its influence
seriously felt. A suspicion of this sort of
management. to say the least, has created
dissatisfaction mong the Democracy of
this city. Elsewhere it has given rise to
much Indignation among the uulnitiated
Democrats.
