COunty,Sabbath School COnven-
tiOn.

After consulting with many Of the
friends of the Sabbath School cause, it
was unanimously agreed that tie time
for holding the Annual Convention
should be changed from the 9th day of
May to the 29th, and that we omit the
Celebration this year The reasons are
these: The State Sabbath School Con.
veition will meet atOayton on the 26th
and 9th Of May, and some ofour friends
desire to attend it. The Court Of Com.
mon Pleas will commence on the 26th,
and many Of the friends will be compel.
ed to BIZ there the 9th. The prepara.
.tions required for the Celebration would
impose upon the ladies an amount ofla
Dor that should not be added to their
already arduous task Of aiding. in the
support of our soldiers and their fami-
lies. Nothing should be done to dimin.
ish their efforts in this most praisewor-
thy cause, while it is wrong to over.tax
the patriotic and willing. The arrange
ments for the celebration tends to keep
some from the Convention whose pres.
ence will add to its interest. Hoping
that all will cheertully acquiesce in the
change made with the sole view to the
promotion of the highest interests Of the
Sabbath School cause, without jnjuring
any other good cause.
1t will be understood that the Con.
vention will be held on Friday the 29th
day Of May, 1868, in which we hope to
see all the Sabbath Schools in the Coun.
ty represented. All who will come to
this Convention will be cheerfully en-
tertained during their stay with US.

soldiers voting.

The Solder Vote Bill as It passed the
Ohio Legislature, is pronounced by some
unconstitutional. 1t is to be regretted
that an act could not be passed free from
doubt on that point. But we hope the
matter may be determined favorable to
them voting, if it is tested at all. Gov.
Seymour, of New York, in q late mes
sage warmly advocated law to allow
the.soldiers from that State to vote, and
it has passed. Illinois, Pennsylvania,
Indiana, Michigan and Iowa have each
passed laws to that effect, but the Iowa
law is already pronounced uncOnstitu-
tional in q case just decided in that
State. We believe none Of the New
England States have yet passed any laws
on the subject.

affords, our experience and observation daily
tends to verify. Then, too, when We consider
the ever-varying phases Of human passion, and
the discordant elements from which all novel

" seem surprising that faithful record Of ao-

widest dream Of romance; or that crimes,
both strange and unnatural, should be perpe-

civilization, which people in another state Of
