UNION MEETING.-On Thursday evening,
June I'd, we had grand Union rally in the
Disciple Church. Senator Robinson, and
Chaplain Jones of the 42d, were the speak
ers. The enthusiasm which their speeches
called out was unbounded. Cheer after cheer
encouraged the orators as they made some
telling points or touched the Copperheads, a
sprinkling of whom, much to their sorrow,
were present. By many Chaplain Jones is
regarded as good stump speaker as the State
affords. To great boldness of faith, he adds
the graces of wit and Imagination seldom
equalled. He ought to be on the stump all
the while.
The meeting was in singular contrast with
one the Copperheads held few nights before,
in the character of the persons present and the
sentiments expressed. The speakers of the
Copperheads went through the usual whining
about the Cons: tuition as it is, and Union
as it was" The Union speakers took patriot
ic and Christian views of the war.
CoMMENCEMENT.-Ave very large attendance
is anticipated at Commencement. The Sol
diers' Aid Society are preparing dinner for
that day.

SHEEP STEALING. - Considerable excite
ment has been created in Randolph by the
mysterious disappearance of two focks OF
sheep, 2. A. Davis and Peter Shultz being
the victims The sheep of MIR. Davis, after
several days search were found secreted in
piece of woods about four miles from Canton,
Stark county. A man named John McGre-
gor was arrested for driving off the sheep OF
Mr.. Davis, and being taken before Justice
Ladd, was held to bail in the sum of $4,000,
to appear at the next term of The Court of
Common Please Mr.. Shulsz has been un-
able to find his flock. He advertises re-
ward of $4,000 in the Democrat to-day for
the thief and the sheep.
THE Wool CL1P.-The sheep shears have
been making merry music with their click,
clack'-for the past few days. Many of the
sheep in the township are already shorn. The
wool is of an excellent quality and is in good
condition-being free from oil and gum.-
The feeces weigh, on an average less than
usual, but in quantity as well as quality, the
wool clip will be better than in former years.
THE CRoPs.-The prospects for harvest are
not as good as in some years on the first OF
June There are some very promising fields
of wheat, but many pieces were badly injured
by frost last March. Oats, barley and fax
were much injured by the dry weather in
May. Glover looks well-ald meadows have
suffered from the dry weather. Corn has
come up well. The fruit crop does not prom
ise SO abundant yield as some seasons.

LAST WEEK was commencement week at
Baldwin University, Berea, Cuyahoga Co.
The exercises of the week commenced, on
Sabbath morning, with sermon by Rev. w.
D. Goldman A. NJ, Professor of Mathemat-
les at the Ohio Wesleyan University. Of
this exercise the correspondent of the Cleve-
land Herald says:
"His theme Life and Character of the
Apostle Paul'-was treated in an elegant and
mastery manner, and was replete with inte-
rest, particularly to the lovers of sacred liter
ature Prof. Goldman brings to his aid schol-
arly depth of research, beauty of style, good
voice and gentlemanly bearing.
Mr.. Fl. Benton, of Cleveland, delivered
lecture Sabbath evening Subject The
Student and his Friends In style and effect
| it was both peculiar and excellent.
Monday evening we listened to an ad.
dress before the Ladies' Alethean Society,
given by Rev. VIM. F. Day, of Ravenna.-
His theme seemed to be defence of Laugh
ter, and one might suppose his audience very
much of his opinion, if we may judge by the
hearty response with which his illustrations
were constantly met.
"wednesday evening was occupied in lis
tening to an address by Rev. James E. Will
son, of Ravenna. This was spirited and en-
tertaining, and the time sped rapidly while
listening"
On Thursday the exercises of the COM
mencement proper took place.

JUDGE RAY of Michigan, delivered in the
Methodist Church last Sabbath evening, a
lecture on Temperance. His discourse was
earnest and effective, and was well received
by an overfiowing auditory. Religious servi-
ces in other Churches were omitted, that all
might have an opportunity to hear the lee
ture. His appeals to young men ought to
have great weight. tits to be hoped no little
good will prove to have been accomplished.

from his southern trip last week, and is in his
office again as usual. DIR. Jennings was un-

serious and painful, not proving so dangerous
as was first anticipated.

with glass he could see the besieged city and
heard the cannonading plainly. The greatest
activity in the movement of troops prevailed
during the time occupied by his trip up and

CAPT. EDGARToN and Maj. Cotter addressed
very large audience at the Town Hall, on
Thursday evening last-very many being un-
able to procure seats. The narrative of the
first speaker, of his experience as prisoner
in the Southern Confederacy, made ones
blood boil with indignation, and should be
enough to fill the heart of every man with a
feeling of such intense hatred toward the
perpetrators of this causeless and atrocious
rebellion that there could be no sympathizers
with the cause of traitors-and but one voice
and vote among the people, and that for the
Union and the Government. Capt. Edgar
ton is fine speaker, and charmed his audi
ence with his eloquence on this OCCASION
Maj. Cotter followed briefly, with remarks
descriptive of the artillery service, and the
feelings of the soldiers concerning the "Cop-
perhead business" as represented in our
Northern communities
