SHOP LIFTING.-We understand that an
extensive system OF shop-iiitlng, or petty
stealing, has been practieed at the stores in
this place. for some time back. Most of the
thieves wear crinoline, and many of them
are well known to our merchants. We warn
to cease indulgng In their petty thieylng
operations, or they may be nrited to APP
pear before Judge Linn to give an account
of their nisdeeds And now also word to
our merchants You are the losers, and you
know the thieves; and hence it is your duty
to prosecute all such offenders. Had you
done so ere this, much of the practice would
have been prevented; but so long as you
permit the offenders to go unpunished, so
long will the evil continue. A word to the
wise is sufficient.
HUMILIATION AND PRAYER. Thurs
day, the day appointed by President John
son as day of humiliation and prayer on
account of the death of our chief magistrate,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN, was pretty generally
observed in this place-if we except some
of the most violent political opponents of
Lincoln and johnson. Stores and other
places of business were closed, and labor
suspended, which caused our town to assume
quite Sabbath-Eke appearance Services
were had in the NJ Z. Church, where an
appropriate sermon was preached to large
and very attentive audience. The observ-
ance cf days appointed by our National and
State rulers should be cheerfully engaged in,
if at all feasible; especially in Pennsylva-
MIA, where all such days are, by law, set a
part as holidays" That most of our citi-
zens have done so, we are glad to attest; and
we hope that in the future it will not be ne
elected by any one.

4 FIGHT-A rather amusing scene oc-
cured on Market street, one day last week,
between two 'hoys. Kicks, cuffs, clubs,
and stones, were alternately brought into
requisition; yet, withal, neither of the par
ties received any serious injury. The affair
grew ont of sly game of cards, indulged in
by these chaps, in an out building near the
scene of conflict Wonder, whether their
mama knew they were out?
PETTY BUSINESS. We were shown, one
DAY last week, what puported to be a fifty
cent L. S. currency note. Upon close IN
Spection it was found that the figure five t5l
had been cut out of five cent note and
pasted over the one Il on 10 cent note,
thus giving it the appearance of 80 cent
Currency note-new issue The business
community should keep sharp lookout for
these petty frauds, and have the offenders
punished for thus mutilating our National
currency

risburg on WEDNESDAY, THE 18th July.
1865, at Il o clock NJ, for the purpose OF
putting in nomination State ticket, to be
supported by the friends of the Union atthe
coming October election.
The earnest and jealous labors of loyal
people secured the great victory in 1864, and
made the war, which our enemies denounc-
ed as failure, glorious success in 1868.
Our flag has been maintained enc
mics destroyed-our Government rreserv-
ed, and peace re-established. Let every
friend who aided in this result, take meas
ures to be represented in that Convention.
W. must see to it that the fruits OF our sue

Excellent News.

We have before us letter dated Belle
fontaine, October g. in which we are in
formed that Hon. SAMUEL SHELLABARGER
and Col. Don PIArr were placarded all over
the county to address everybody at Belle
tontaine on the 4th. Col. PIATT came TO
time; but not single wagon, horseman or
footman came to town. No speech was
made, because there was nobody present to
hear. The meeting was an utter, total
complete fizzle. That's good news from
Logan. Look out for good news from that
quarter on Tuesday. a on
Another letter from Piqua brings us the
cheering intelligence, that the political
skies are bright in that part OF the State.
We hope our friends in Shelby and Darke
will forego any personal differences they
may have and heartily unite for the over
throw of General Cox and Negro Suffrage.
Success is within our reach, and 1t is there
fore, important that every Democrat should
contribute to that success.

.Iustifxing fts Repeal.

The Ohio State Journal is justifying the
repeal of the Democratic law prohibiting
persons having ''visible admixture of
African blood" from voting, by the Aboli-
tionists of the last Legislature, because the
Supreme Court of the State had decided the
absurdity, that If man has In him a pre-
ponderance of White blood he is White
man. The State Journal accepts that decis-
ion of the Supreme Court as strictly right,
and the repeal of the Democratic law inter-
dieting such voting as eminently proper.
Well, that makes good our charge that the
editor OF that journal is in favor of Negro
Suffrage tfb NV Itj..

Look Ont for Fraudulent Tickets

In certain localities, the opponents to th'
Democratic party, where they arein the mi
nority, sometimes get up Tickets as nearly
as possible like the genuine Democratic
Ticket, with the names of one or two Of
their candidates inserted. So well is this
deception practiced, that if Democrats az
not particularly on their guard they may
lose candidate or two. 1t is sort Of
business that no honorable, man will en-
gage in, we know; yet it is done by mel
who claim to be honorable. Democrats can
not too closely scrutinize their Tickets, and
we throw out this admonition in time. We
shall be obliged to Democrats to let us kno"
II the CoxIrEs attempt anything OF this
Kind IN this county.
