first Monday of next January. By
universal concession il is Democratic
and therefore honest. 1t will decide
this election contest in accordacne with
law. 1t will reject more than thou
sand negro ballots, and it will declare
that ALLEN G. THURMAN, the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor OF
Ohio, has been triumphantly elected
by the ballots of the coAstitu-
tional white voters of the State.
This Is not only in accordance
with Radical precedent, but it is in obe-
diencs to law. 1t is course that will
be pursued in this election, and as the

elected by the actual voters of Ohio

material Inauguration succeeding that

human loye-it would seem to me that
such love as yours might lift a spirit
from the very abyss" - o.. -
"There is no abyss except the abyss
of sin, and that is ones own bosom
Ny love is lifting him with me already
he is gentleness and goodness"
The writer leaned his head upon his
hand, pondering these strange doctrines,
so foreign to his own belief, and to that
of his companion, and in moment she
81 id, ~ should 60. Come here, place
your hand upon her head, and will,

not know what to make of the facts
which form this strange story; he only

enshrouds the Haunted House at Wa

Walking Horses

The best gait horse ever had for
every day use is good walk. 1t is a
gait that not one in ten possesses. Colts
are not trained to walk in all the East
ern States. Young America wants more
speed. Kentucky has more walking
horses than any other State, for their
horseback travelling has long been in
fashion for men and women over q conn
try where muddy roads, at some seasons
rendered any other gait impossible, and
so horses have been bred for the saddle
and trained to walking gait. This is
also the case in all the Western States,
and perhaps has been SO in New Eng
land. when our grandmothers rode to
meeting on pillion behind our grand
fathers. But one horse wagons have
put horseback riding out of fashion,
and now a good walking horse is more
rare than one that can trot q mile in
2 40.
At the Springfield (Mass.) Horse
Show of 1860, the writer was one of a
committee to award prizes to the tive
best walking horses. Out of seventeen
entered, the committee found but one
that was tirst-rate walker. This was
Morrell mare, which walked five miles
an hour with ease. Two others were
fair walkers, and the others knew no
gait that could be called walking. At
.he New York State fair the same state
of facts was again developed. A letter
from Wisconsin says: 81 think horses
trained to walk fast, would be greater
benefit to farmers in general than fast
trotters, as almost all of his work has
to be done with a walk"
once knew man in Massachusetts,
who, before the railroads were built,
kept from two to four teams at work on
the road, and never allowed them to
trot at all, and made the distance in
quicker time than his neighbors, who
made their horses trot at every cOnvs-
nient place. He said that when horse
commenced to walk after a trot, he
walked much slower than his common
gait if kept OH walk, and thereby lost
more than he gained" Will farmers
think Of this, and pay more attention to
walking horses f-SoHn Robinson.

present, however, we regard these NOM
nations aS device of our Radical
friends to avoid defeat under their own
party name. Their own candidates

The lute Elections

Considering the summary manner In
which the Democratic msjorities were
disposed of by our Radical friends this
morning. We feel like arologizing for
The painful truths which it is our dnty
to make known. II is our privilege to
announce that Pemnsyiyania has un-
doubtedly given Democratic majority
Of five thousand for SHARs-
WOOD and that the white men
of Ohio have elected ALLEN G.
THURMAN to be their next Governor.
These statements are based on no
fanciiul returns. The Pennsylvania
estimates are based on conceded facts.
Orr table of Ohio returns furnishes the
data for our claim in behalf of THUR
MAN. IL asserts the election of HAYES
by majority of forty-three. This in
cludes the illegal negro votes. Of
these over three hundred were
cast in the city Of Cleveland
alone. Xenia also rolls up her
hundreds of unlawful African ballots,
while many o her Radical localities
report similar frauds. With an honest
Democratic Legislature, which has GER
tainly been elected in Ohio, we have no
doubt that that oil illegal rotes riu Be
thrOra out and Thurman declared elected
BY not less than one thousand mojority.

shrewd enough to preserve the detailed

CHARCOAL FOR TURKEYs.-We notice
that California paper highly recon-
mends charcoal for fattening turkeys,
and recommends that it should be pull
verized and mix ed with mashed pota-
toes and corn meal, as well as fed to
them in small Jumps. 1t mentions that
in two lots of turkeys Of four each,
treated alike, and one lot given this
mixture aud the other not, there was
an average gain in the weight of the
first of one pound and half each.
While we condemn the practice of mix
ing the pulverized charcoal with TIE
other food of the turkeys, compelling
them TO eat whether they wanted it or
not, we have no doubt of the excellent
effects of supplying fattening turkeys
with charcoal broken into small pieces.
We have had evidence of what We say,
and for a number of years have recon-
meuded charcoal for this purpose.-Cti-
ca Herald.

Wonderful Subterranenn Cavity
Coal Oil Struck

Last Thursday, 26th inst, says the
Detroit Journal, some workmen were
sinking a well in Wabash township,
Darke county, and having got down
some twenty-five feet without finding
water, they began to bore for it. They
had worked through the earth about
fifteen feet further, when the augur
suddenly sunk into hollow, whence is
sued strong stream of gas, which made
so loud noise that it could
easily he heard $50 feet from
the month of the we'll. man named
Supinger, who was in the well
managing the augur, was instantly
Frustrated, and rendered insensible, and
he died before the workmen were able
to rescue him; and he was removed
with hooks attached to ropes. On Fri
day, our informant says, the gas was
continuing to escape with the same vio-
lence as the day before; and crowds of
curious people from the surrounding
country focked to the place to see it
and hear the wonderful sonnds issuing
from the well. The odor of the gas is
that of coal oil, and it is not improb-
able that oil will be found there in
quantity when the gas has all escaped.

The Caring Of Green Hides.

A great many butchers, wool dealers,
&c, are purchasers of the hides off the
beef in the coustry towns, and we often
get from them inquiries as to the most
proper and profitable method Of curing
the hide and preparing it for the mar
ket. A great many butchers do not use
proper care in this branch, and the con-
sequence is that the hides will not pass
city inspection, owing entirely to the
ignorance and carelessness of persons
preparing them for market. The proper
way to salt hides is, to lay them fat,
flesh side up, and form nearly square
bed, say II by l5 feet, folding in the
edges, 50 as to make them as nearly
solid as possible. Split the ear in the
cords that run up the ear in each one,
so as to make them lie out fat. Sprinkle
the hide with two or three shevelfulS
of coarse salt, as the size may require
say, for sixty TO eighty pound hide,
from ten to fifteen pounds of salt. At
any rate, cover the hide well, as it need
not be wasted; then let them lie in this
from l2 to 20 days, after which take
them up, shake the salt out, and use it
again.-Shoc and Leather Reporter.
