An Exciting Judicial Contest.

In the Sd subdivision of the 9th Judic-
ial District, composed of the counties of
Ashtabula, Lake and Geauga, a Judge
of the Court of Common Pleas is to be
chosen at the fall election. The nominal
ing convention will be held August l4th,
st Madison, Lake county. Judge Chaffee
of Ashtabula the present incumbent,
Judge Hitchcock of Geauga, and Hon.
L. S. Sherman, of Ashtabula, are the can
didates. The lawyers of the District-or
a large number of them, including all the
members of the bar in Ashtabula county
according to a previous call, met in the
village of Ashtabula and informally ex-
pressed their preferences for Mr.. Sher-
man. We have heretofore published an
account of this meeting, together with the
correspondence between the gentlemen
comprising it, srdIMr. s. announcing his
willingness to become q candidate. This
action oHshe part of the lawyers has pro-
voked a controversy in which the news
papers, lawyers and people generally of
the District have taken part. The coed
character and eminent ability of the
several candidates named have precluded
anything like offensive personalities from
entering into the controversy, and it has
been carried on, so far, purely on the mer-
its of the case. The question at issue is
not so much whether Mr.. Sherman, Judge
Hitchcock or Judge Chaffee shall be Sc
lected, as it is whether the action of the
lawyers shall be allowed TO forestall the
work Of the nominating convention. The
papers, editorislly, with the exception of
the Geauga Democrat, which is "forninst"
the legal fraternity, neither approve nor
disapprove the forestalling action Of the
lawyers, but maintain a "vigilant neutral
ity"-i. e. they pitch into things general
ly, and wherever they see a head they hit
it. The members of the bar, as such. |
claim that they heve a deeper interest in
matter of how the Bench shall be filed
than any other class of individuals. J.
d. Ensign, Esq, of jefferson, writes up
the historical part of the squabble in a
graphic and impartial manner; c. S. |
Simonds, Esq., presents the drgumentran
Gd jadicilm anonymous writers fill in
the special ~plesdings, while the Geauga
Democrat assumes the pressure for the
people and goes in o Z its nerve. One good
result of the campaign will undoubtedly be
to call out the voters in their strength at
the primary meetings; and the matter of
appointing delegates to the nominating
convention viii thus be the work Of the
masses instead of a Few wire-pullers.

COUNTY
From the Ravenna Democrat i:

FROM the RaVenna democrat:
For some little time the readers of the
Democrat have been aware hat extensive
coal deposits had been discovered in the
township of Palmyra in this county.
| Something like a year since Even and
Thomas Bowen, David Griffith and VIM
B. Wilson became associated together a:
the Palmyra Coal Company, and located
two hundred and seventy acres of land
living a mile and a half east Of PALMYRA
center. Within the past few months &
shaft fifty feet deep has been sunk, quite q
portion of the distance through solid rock,
and mining operations commenced. The
vein of coal is of an average thickness of
four feet, and the coal is of the best quail
ity for blacksmith and rolling mill coal,
while as a CRATE and stove coal it is claim
edfor it that the best Goals in this vicinity,
| such as Briar Hill, Mineral Ridge, &c, do
not surpass it, and scarcely any equal il.
Some zoo tons have already been taken
out, and the coal thoroughly tested. Only
a small force has heretofore been worked
in the mine, but preparations are now be-
ing made TO mine the coal extensively,
the chambers, tracks, GAGS, &c, being now
about in readiness for the purpose. For
a time this work will be comparatively
slow, as the bank is eight miles from a
railroad station. To bring the coal into
market, a railroad project Is, however be-
ing discussed, to connect with the c. & P.
r. +. either at Atwater or ROotstown
station or with the A. & G. W. r. +. at
Braceville. Those experienced in pro-
specting for minerals think that nearly
the whole township of Palmyra is under
laid with Hblack diamonds, and the
youngstown firm of Paul Wick & Co.
have leased Over nine thousand acres in
Palmyra and sre now extensively engaged
in drilling for coal. Drills are now
at work upon the farms of Enoch
Morgan, W Davis and Alva Beld-
win, and within a few days they will be
set at work upon the farms of George
Waller, Westover, and David Merwin.
The quality of the coal developed by the
Palmyra Coel Co. has attracted the at
tention of this second Company, who have
both the capital and enterprise to develop
any amoant of territory that may be desir-
able or profitable.

Gus horoscope of Earth: "Our Earth
will become a moon. Once earth was a
soft and diffused substance; it then be.
came an Incandescent and luminous
sphere, next a very solid globe, LIQUID
within; it Is now an obscure planet, thick
and gradually cooling, with fire in its
bosom, but bathed on its surface BY water
and ambient vspers. enc of these DAYS
its inner fires will be extinguished. its at
mosphere and oceans will have evapor-
sted, and earth will ~revolve through snaoe
an inert and icy mass. 1t will then be
like the moon, where organic life is ex-
tinguished, where silence reigns. where
extraordinary cold weather Is followed
without transition by excessively hot
weather. The moon once had its atmos-
phere, its volcanoes, its inner fires and IFS
humid belt. The same law governs the
destlnles Of all the suns satellites. Each
OF them upon breaking from the common
mass began to cool so much the more rap
idly as its volume was smaller. The
earth being forty-nine times larger than
the moo cools forty-nine times sooner
than it; but like it. does cool. Already
nS VOoahs HaNe IOst Inc uiLletn part OF

entirely disappeared before the solid crust
of the esrth is seyenty-ive miles thick.
When this day comes there will be no
animated creatures, no trace of sninaal or
vegetable life on this globe. Icy nights
will follow torrid days. In the course of
time this will be the fate of the sun and
the solar system. But it will be
thousands of millions of years before the
reaches this state"

CUTTER
Patent Gutter Fastener I!
The most Durable, the Cheapest, and
the mos. Simple Of any mode now
known for suSpendiBg Tin
Cutters or Eve .TrOughs.
IL is strong and NOD visible TO the
sight.

TLHE MODE OF SUSPENDING
Il Cutters according to the Yapp's patent IS as
follows Across the top of the Gutter, at about
from 6 TO 10 feet apart, according to the size and
length, is sOldered a half-inch tin tube. Through
this tubs a rod or bolt of the required lei 9Th, with
a thread on the end, is put through and screwed
into the s~tudding plate or Tafter Of the building,
TO which the gutter is suspended. The gut
ter is held to the rod by a pin, which is put
through a bole in the tube. aud a corresponding
one in the spike. By simply pulling out this pin
With the finger, the gutter could be taken off and
slipped on again without any difficulty, thus rem
dering it easily repaired or painted. By this
mode the gutter is held stinly in its place from
year to year without any change In its position.
Each rod which ~sustains the gutter will support
the weight OF a man-thus giving an idea Gifts
strength. The whole fastenings are out OF sight
entirely, thus adding to the appearance of the
gutter.
By the old mode the gutter is suspended by hav-
ing a strip of tin banded around it and nailed to
the building. Soon the nails get rusty, and the
band slips on. The wind operating en- the gutter
gradually turns it around aad twists it about 50
as to make 1t useless. IN proofof this look at the
thousands OF cutters hung by the old process.

and Builders certifying to the superiority Of
Yapp's Patent Gutter Fastener:
We, the undersigned, Architects Of Cleveland,

above mode Of Hanging and putting up Critters,

mode, and We cheerfully and c0nscientiously re-
