s7@ The advertisement of Dunlap &
Coble, in this issue Of the True a,neri.
can, shouldsbe read by everybody. We
have given it good display, in order that
it may attract universal attention. But
afIer all the attraction in The mechanism
of the advertisement; it is nothing and
"vanity" compared TO the reality--the
splendid stock goods which these gen.
tlemen have just received and are now
opening. Ii is said that Steubenville has
never, before, witnessed anything to
compare with it.
The integrity and accommodating char.
ac,er, Of these merchants is so we'll es-
tablished that it would be redundant for
as to say word on that point.
All we have to say is, that. their goods
are Of the very best quality, and remark
ably cheap. Call and see them.

Jeferson's HospitalitY.

Randall's life of Jefferson shows what
his hospitality cost him, for keeping "open
DOORS" Or leaving the "latch string
always out-as follows:
Mr.. Jefferson, while in the public SER
vice, was compelled to neglect his large
plantations, and, therefore, in retiring,
found himself in debt. This, he soon
expected TO exlinguish from the proceeds
of his farms, and would have done so,
but for an unforeseen cause. Monticello
became a Mecca for all sorts of Pilgrims.
His mansion was more thronged than a
popular hotel and with this difference,
that his guests did not go away. Friends
would remain weeks and even months
And this excess Of company, continued
year after year, actually-simpoverishing a
loo generous host. But let US take Mr.,
RandalPs account:
I'VE have already introduced to the
reader old Wormly, the grey haired ser.
van, Of Mr.. Jefferson. We once stood
with him before the delapidated pile o.
Monticello. The carriage houses, three
in number, were at the moment under olli
eye. Each would hold four horse coach
We inquired. Sc Wornly, how often were
these filled in Mr.. JefIerson's time ~
Every night, cir in summer, and we
commonly had two or three carriages
under that iree," said he pointing to I
large tree. (" Ii took all hands to take
care of the visitors = we suggested

Thomas M. Hughes, a brother. .in.law Of

killed him instantly, and then tried to
escape. While attempting to escape
Kirsky was shot at four times. On the
Wednesday following, Kirsky was found,

the difficulty occurred.

EEWe learn that Republican living
near the south line of Center township, has
written communication to the Republican,
in which he entirely annihilaies the Wolf
Greek delegation to our convention last
Thursday. He placed a pole in the road,
with some buck horns on it, and wrote on
a piece of paper, something very interesting
no doubt, if the meaning could have been
found out, and pinned it to the POLE. He
placed some public Documents, and some
of Colfax's speeches near the pole, and
placed himself in ambush TO await the arri-
val ofthe delegation. Ofcourse the speech
es, Documents d &c. were Of no value to the
delegation, and were trampled under foot,
and, no doubt considerably injured. He
estimates the damages done to him in this
affair at $50! We have not heard wheth-
er he is going to institute a suit for DANA
ges or a suit of grand Larceny! Ofcourse
the organ will not refuse 10 publish the
communication alluded 10, and we await
with the most intense anxiety, lis publica-
ton. In the mean .ime, let our Wolf
Creek friends bare up under this sad affair
with true Democratic courage, and prepare
themselves for the worst.

Talking and Acting.

Some people are forever talking about
duty and kindness, and generosity, and
doing good. To hear them, one would
suppose that there was the place to run, il
you found yourself in any trouble. But
just try it--that's all; and if you don't run
away quicker than you approached you'll
be fortunate. The generous and warm
hearted person will not push you off from
him with his hands; but ten to one he
will do it by that subtle repulsion that is
more effectual than hands. He will not
say anything uncivil. nor do anything
harsh; but you will find him cold and i'm
practicable.
Of course, there are honorable excep-
tons to this rule, and there are exceptions
in the conduct of the most repulsive ad-
vocate Of love and kindness, but, gene
rally, you will find that those persons who
make the most fuss ABOUT these things are
the persons who least exercise them, unless
it is for effect, or to make great sensation.

With one or two exceptions; the Republic
an ticket in this County is composed Of
renegade Democrats. The Republicans in
this County have come to the conclusion
that renegade Democrats are better calcu-

preference to those who have stood in the
front of the political battles, since the birth

Our Ticket.

We present to our readers, this week, our
County ticket We regard it rs being COM
posed OF men who will be elected by the
largest majorities ever given in Marshall
county. Every man on the ticket is a
Democrat of the right kind, and has the
ability to administer the county govern
ment to the entire satisfaction of the peo-
pie of both parties.
G. II. Reeve, candidate for Representa-
tive for Marshall and Stark, is so well
known to the people of both counties, that
his ability to represent us in the State Leg
islaturO, will be appreciated by an over
whelming majority for him next October.
His talents should command the respect OF
the voters of all parties.
Fl. VanValkenburgh, L. Mcdonald,
and ]. B. N. Klinger, are now discharging
the duties of the Offices or which they
have been nominated; and the universal
satisfaction they have given in the dis
charge of their official duties. is a sufficient
guarantee that they viii be elected by in
creased majorities. w. c. Edwards, for
Treasurer. Knobleck, for Commission
era. Boyd for Coroner, and E. Jacoby,
for Assessor, are just the men to fill the
Offices for which they have been nomina-
ted.
The canvass is now opened, and we hope
to see every Demaerat in the county en-
listed in the battle that is to be fought
Every Democrat has an influence, and if
exerted, will add strength to the party
The opposition have already commenced
their game of Jrag. as they have been in
the habit of doing heretofore. This brag
and buster game won't win this time
Every one acquainted with both tickets,
knows that the Democratic ticket will be
elected by at least one hundred and fifty
