The Democracy are now engaged in hold
ing State Conventions for the purpose of Sc
Letting delegates to the Charleston Conven-
ton. In Illinois two sets have been chosen,
one in favor of Douglas, the other opposed
In Kentucky the delegation is almost unani-
nous for Guthrie-Douglas having no show
whatever in the Convention. In this State
the Douglas men triumphed in the selection Of
delegates for the State at large, as they had
previously in most of the districts. Nearly
one-third of the delegates to the State Con-
v~ention were Administration men. In Indi-
ana the contest is close and the fight animated,
but the Douglas men seem to be in the
asccudent. AT the time of writing this their
convention is in session and the result not
known. In Alabama the convention is also
in session, and it is a boistorous and disorderly
affair. Disunioa, revival of the slave trade.
and like questions peculiar to National De
mocracy'' in that section, seem TO be the dis
turbing element. a.i-

nA. We have heard of several narrow
escapes from drowning during the late
freshet. The wonder is that many, and
especially children, are not lost in these
floods, as fear seems to be stranger to
those living on the river, and caution
a word, the meaning of which is not well
understood. A Pomeroy boy, on raft
of sticks, feels thousand times more
safe than Commodore on board his
flagship; and somehow they manage to
make port all right.

in the death of William Smart, son of
Caleb Smart, of this place, and Miss
Martha Cable, daughter of Mrs. Smart
by former husband. In company with
Miss Rhoda Church, they were in

held on to the craft, and was finally res
cued, but her companions above named,
perished before relief could be afforded.
Their bodies have not yet been recov-

testing young people has thrown gloom
over large circle of friends and ac-

home of their parents which will be
filled no more4on earth.

Near his residence, on Monday, 9th
April, Franklin Middleswart, while
driving his team, the horses became
alarmed, and while in the act of running
away, Mr.. NJ was thrown from the
wagon, and almost instantly killed. Mr..
Middleswart was born in Allegheny
County, Pa, in 1910, and while but
boy, moved to Washington County, O.,
and in 1897 came to Meigs County,
where he remained until his death.
Mr.. Middleswart's employment was that
of farming, and as such was a perfect
pattern He was one of those men that
had a place for everything, and kept
everything in its place AS neighbor,
he was kind and obliging. He leaves a
companion, and five children, together
with a large circle of friends, to mourn
his loss. His companion, though deeply.
afflicted, can say, "The Lord gave, the
Lord taketh away; blessed be the name
of the Lord May he rest in peace

The Flood.

The Flood.
The Ohio has been higher at this
place during the last week, than it has
been since the great flood of 1852, lack
ing some three or four feet only of reach
ing the point of that celebrated over
flow. Some property was destroyed in
our town and vicinity, and much incon-
yenience and hard labor was imposed
upon the citizens. But these are the
compensations offset against the advan-
tages enjoyed by the jewellers on the
streams of water" in other respects. 1t
would hardly be fair to allow those
living upon the water courses to enjoy
all the advantages which they. confer,
without any drawbacks,T and, upon the
whole, these periodical floods keep up
about fair equilibrium.
