The Affair at HiiIiard station.


We received on yesterday letter from
DR.. j. r. J.. Seegar, of Hilliard Station, in
reference to the article published in The
STATESMAN of December 9TH, in which he
states that the whole matter as reported
was tissue of falsehoods, or atleast great
ly exaggerated. He puts the blame of the
whole transaction upon Mr.. Gill; that
it was Gill who made the assault upon him
that in order to defend himself he
knocked Gill down, and that Mr.. Sells pull
ed him off. The Doctor is mistaken in re-
gard to the name of the individual who re-
ported the affair to us. The affair as COM
municated to us was reiterated by several
gentlemen from the neighborhood of Hill
lard Station, yet they might have been
mistaken, having not been present at the
time. s
Doctor Seegar is the last man whose rep
utation we would injure by publishing any
thing which we knew at the time was false,
therefore we give him the benefit of his de-
nial. He also states that no steps have
been taken to arrest him, and if arrested at
any time he was able aud ready to defend
his rights.

The Fair.

The Fair for the benefit of st. Mary's
Church on Saturday night was well at
tended, and the chances in articles offered
were freely taken. Owing to the fact that
the chances in a great many of the most
valuable articles are not all taken, the goods
will be removed from the Hall, and kept in
a large room in the same building. In the
meantime, a spirited effort will be made to
fill the subscriptions, and a time will be
named and published for the drawing to
take place. The management is in the
hands of upright and honest men, and
whether the holders of the lucky numbers
are present or absent, their interests will
be faithfully guarded, and after the draw
ing is finished, a list will be published Civ
ing the names of those who have drawn
the principal prizes-also the amount real
lied by the Fair. Judging from present
appearances, we should say that it will be
a success.

The Opera Rouse.

The Buislay Family closed their engage
ment at the Opera House on last Saturday
. night to very fair audience. We are sorry
to say that their success in this city was not
commensurate with the merits of the Com
pany. Circumstances which they could
not control operated against them. We
mean by this to say, that they were unable,
owing to the absence of one of their num-
ber, to perform what they had promised
the public. Aside from this they gave gen.
eral satisfaction. They 60 from this city
to Buffalo, where they perform tomorrow
night. Mr.. Thayer, the Treasurer, from
the Academy of Music, Cleveland, whose
gentlemanly bearing and genial DISPOSE
tion, has endeared him to his many friends
goes with them. May success attend
them on their journey to the East.

New EoeIand SUFFERING.

1t is announced that leading manufac-
turing concerns have stopped in New Eng
land, and that others contemplate doing So.
In consequence, already thousands of work.
ing people have been thrown out of EN-
ployment. This, by the advocates of pro-
hibitory Tariffs, is ascribed to want of ad-
equate protection, and straightway they
call on Congress to!increase the duties on
manufactured articles. The trouble is not
with the Tariff. The late war impoverished
eight millions of the best, customers that
New England and the West bad. 1t is to
this circumstance that the present distress
in business everywhere is attributable. If
our people have imagined that the desola-
tion and impoverishment of the Southern
States would have no effect upon them
business-wise after the cessation of actual
war, or if they imagine that the Radical
legislation that seeks to overturn and rev.
olutionize everything President JOHNSON
has done in the way Of pacification and
reconstruction, will do no harm to the
business interests of the country, grievous
must be their disappointment.

Remember that the far-famed and world
renowned Continentals will give one of
their charming entertainments this evening
at Naughton Hall. Old time songs-songs
that will bring the days of other years to
remembrance; patriotic songs that will in
spire the heart with love of country and
nerve the arm for conflict; sentimental
songs which will soothe the troubled spirit
and shed holy influence over the soul,
and mirth- provoking songs,will be sung in
strains as sweet as the famed Eolus ever
played upon his wondrous harp. The low
ers of good music will be there.

Look 10 Your own Household.

A few days ago Republican journals
manifested seeming concern for the Demo-
cratic party because the Chicago Times had
commenced the advocacy of Impartial Suf-
frage. 1t was likely to tear the Democratic
party asunder, they said. The Democratic
party has not given, nor does it propose to
give, in its adhesion to the views advocated
by the Times in this particular. Than this
nothing can be more true.
In the Republican ranks there is anything
but harmony on the subject Of Tariffs and
Finance. The fact is becoming palpable to
many of them that the Republican poll
ticians have ridden the patriotic feeling Of
the country about as far as they can ride
it, and that the country will not admit of
much more plundering in the name of
patriotism, through the creation and up
holding of monopolies, and some Republic
can journals have the courage to say that
= If it can be proven" the Republican
party shave permitted certain greedy
monopolists to seize and appropriate to
themselves millions on millions to build up
certain forms of business they were them
selves interested in, the Union organization
will disappear like dirty snow before an
April rain"
This thing can be proven, and will be
proven.

wn,h,neton and His ceneral..

We notice that our old friend, Mr.. l.
Underwood, of Mt. Vernon, is in this city
with the justly celebrated engraving,
Washington and his Generals" for the
purpose of canvassing the city for sub
scribers. This engraving is one of the
largest In size, and executed in superior
style, and true and faithful resemblance
of the original features OF the distinguished
warriors is reflected in the picture. The
engraving was drawn and executed by the
celebrated A. II. Ritchie, and is considered
his masterpiece. The group consists of
over thirty prominent Generals, with
Washington, the Father Of his Country, in
the center. This picture should be in the
possession of every true lover of his coun-
try. The persons here represented, lived
in the ''days that tried mems SOULS" and
their memory should ever remain green in
the hearts of their countrymen. Mr.. I'm
derwood remains in the city but few
days, and during that time will call upon
the citizens.

The weather-A slippery Change.

Many ludicrouS scenes happened on the
sidewalks and the streets yesterday morn
ing. A mixture of rain and sleet fell dur
ing the night and froze as fast as it fell, so
that in the morning the ice upon the pave
ments and the streets was at least half an
inch thick. Gentlemen and lady pedes-
trians in attempting to pass along the slip
perry walks, were thrown in almost incon-
ceivable positions, and were forced to relin-
quish the undertaking and stay within
doors. Between one and two o'clock it be-
gan to snow, and the sidewalks and streets
became in manner passable. The appear
ance at this writing is that we will hear the
merry sleigh bells gingle on the streets to-
day.
