Christian sentiments and Christian

OF q "Reyerend.',

Christian sentiments and Christian
Fractice--.A Beautiful Specimen
OF q "Reverend."
At the Abolition meeting at the Court
House on last Monday night, one Aft. Wheel
or, who hypocritically signs himself "Reyer-
Ell d." made a speech. The following is a
specimen, reported ver61tine, of his Christian
sentiments: "1 an glad the heart of the
nation turns. toward peace. I am still more
glad that it first turns to gar and / am glad
that they want no peace but such as is pur-
chased at the point of FURNISHED and cleaning
steel" Such are his comments on that gospel
he claims to preach, which says, ION earth
peace, good will toward men," The real SEN
timent of the style of men that make enough
in a year to buy q farm, is, they want no peace
short of monstrous and unlimited steal
Now, for a specimen of his Christian prac-
ttce. He said that a short time since he had a
conversation with a Colonel in the army, by
the name of McGroarty, in which he says the
Colonel stated to him about as follows That
he, the Col, had just been to Cincinnati that
there he met the Hon. George E.. Pugh that
he asked Pugh why they nominated that trail
tor Vallandigham for Governor, and told him
that he would get no votes in the army that
Pugh replied he did not know how it was
done that he (Pugh) did every thing he could
against 1t, but he couldn't help it. y
Now what are the facts. Hon. George E.
Pugh for months prior to the convention that
nominated Vallandigham had been urging his
nomination. At the convention George E..
Pugh accepted the nomination for Vallandig,
ham in his behalf and in one of the best
speeches ever made in Ohio, congratulated
the Democracy upon their choice, and said it
would have been a burning disgrace to them
if they had not done so. Col. McGroarty was
at the convention with the Cincinnati delcga-
ton, and that entire delegation voted for VAL
l~andigham. Now who believes that Col. Nc.
ever told this Wheeler any such stuff. 1t was
a lie of Wheeler's, manufactured entire, and
certainly as silly, as well as as mean and infa-
nous a lie as ever was told. Mr.. Wheeler's
Christian sentiment is war and hate his
Christian practice is the most barefaced and
outrageous Hing. We have given this lie
more attention perhaps than it deserved We
do not believe that a single person in his au-
dience believed it and We have been informed
that prominent Republicans in the crowd
turned to their %neighbors and remarked, "mhat
a foolish lie."

MA little knot, composed mainly of Abb
solitionists, females and children, gathered at
the Court House the other night. The big
bills announced that Capt. Barber would speak
They supposed the Captain could gather a few
Of the faithful to hear him, while they knew
that if they announced only such ninnies as
Sterling Bushnell and Rev % Wheeler, they
would be met with empty benches Captain
Barber didn't come. Sterling and the Rev.
did. Sterling made a speech. He did. He
said, aLadies aud Gentlemen, you know that
/ have always heretofore voted the Democrat
ic ticket, but now I've quit, The Abs have
nominated me for Office and now I am going
to work very hard SO that-so hat-we can
succeed in this county"
RecoIleet that Sterling was "~always hereto
: fore:a Democrat"
Sterling then went on: "But these plaguey
Democrats say they are going to beat us =
why, the -cusses say they are going to beat US
siEorr eight hundred That won't do, my
friends, Why, they only beat us 400 or 500
last fall"
Beat rAo, Sterling2 I thought you were a
Democrat Railways heretofore" and yet these
: plsguey Democrats beat "ass" last fall. Didn't
you rather catch yourself on this "life long
Democrat" yarn
The balance of Sterling's speech we report
cd IN full. It owas-as follows "Vallandig-
Ram is q very bad man. Obi Obi wish he
was deadE lam sorry we can't find his dead
body! But hois living yet, I suppose! Oh
how bad I feel /"

Our Progress Towards COnfiscatiOn
and Destruction Under Abolition

No other evidence is required to show the
downward tread of the country under Adolf
ton rule than the enormous and rapidly in
c~reasing debts and taxes. p
The taxation for the present year in Ash
land county will be increased nearly or quite
one third, as compared with even last year
We will illustrate by a few examples:
John Fluke, of Orange township, paid tax
es in 1862, on a real estate valuation of s4,4-
60, amounting S37,71,2
He is charged this year, on the same
valuation 5l,32,5
Increase, i ,6l,3
James Mcclure, of the same township, on
valuation of $4,710, paid in 1862 taxes
amounting ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS S39,I9,3
This year he will pay on the same
Inc'ed cost for abolition "lururies," 1896
Geo. w. Carey, Esq, of Green township,
will pay taxes this year upon the same valua-
ton of last year, namely: $5,147. Last
year he paid on this va,uation------ 1885
This year he is charged With 59,7o,5
Increased tax in one year for the
abolition club which is destined
to destroy him and his children,
and confiscate his real and per.
sopal ---.- 1850
And these are the State and County taxes
alone! At every Cross Roads in the county,
Lincoln tax assessors, tax-gatherers, and Pro.
vost Marshals, at from three to five dollars per
day each, are demanding the substance of the
people as fast as earned. No nation in the
civilized world ever sent forth such an army
Of vampires 10 drink up the life-blood of the
People. At the present downward rate, how
long will it require 20 complete our national and
individual destruction, and transfer the .accu-
mutations gathered in eighty years of wise
government, into the hands of the faction
who now rule and ruin?

ssSONE PUMPKINS.o

At a recent exhibition of
squashes, pumpkins, and fancy
gourds, at the "Agrlculturist"
office in New York city, were
the largest pumpkins ever dis
played in any country, and made
a matter Of record. WIN. d..
Hall, of Millingfotd, Conn pre-
sented three specimens. weigh
ing, respectively, 20S, 221, and
2704 lbs. The same gentleman
presented ~ pumpkins, the pro
duct of a single vine, weighing.
in the aggregate, POS ! lbs.
The llr5e>t specimen weighed
2S9 lbs when first pi ked. The
largest specimens exhibited in
England, l76 and l54 It's. So
the hated Yankee is some way
ahead In the pumpkin business,
as well as in almost everything
elsel Mr.. Hall produced these
specimens by using fish manure,
and the ground was a worn-out
pasture. The largest pumpkin
stood three feet high and was
eight feet seven inches in circum-
ference! This one was allowed
to monopolize the whole vine,
all the others were picked off in
the blossom. On another vine
he permitted three to grow, and
they respectively weighed 1913,
GIT, and 237 lbs. On one vine
he allowed all to grow, and got
AZ pumpkins, weighing, when
first gathered, l.3l7 lbs. The
vine with all It's llterals measur-
ed ,62l fee. in length.

A BRAVE ENGINEER.

and was watching him all the
time. He was within about
three times the length Of the

it so that it would run him di

Jumped. instnctlvely, 10 start NY
engine heard him whistle Tor

said that he reversed his engine
but my train was too heavy for me
to move quickly, and he was too

eu~Sion. and knew that he la

with 20 lparptive satatr, affe' he
sew the switch changed, tor tae
ground was sandy there and free
from distractions, and he could
easily have jumped cle ar OF
the track and escaped with slight
bruises. But, no! Behind him
trusting to him. ard resting in
comparative security, were hun
dreds to whom lie was as dear as
to him; his post was at the head;
to the great law Of seli-preserva-
tioH. that most people put ilrst IN
their code of practice, his firm
duty required him to forswear al.
legiance, and to act on the prin-
ciple, "others first, myself after
wards" SO, with a bravery Of
heart such as is seldom found in
other ranks OF men, he stuck to
his iron steed, transformed then
to :he white steed OF death, and
pent the last energies OF his life,
the strength Of his last pulSe,
striving to mitigate the suffering
which would FOLLOW the coils

Ills death was instantaneous;
he had no time for regrets at
leaving life and the friends he
loved so dearly. When We
found him. one hand graSped the
throttle. his engine was reversed.
and with the other hand he stlil
held on 10 the handle ofthe sanf
box lever. The whole middle
and lower portion Of his BODY
was crushed, bat his head and
arms we're untouched. and ms
