Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1867-04-20

Chairman, and j. l. Boardman, of Hills
boro, Secretary.
After free interchange of opinions, anG
discussion ofvarious matters of interest tC
the fraternity, it was resolved, that as but
comparatively small number of publish
ers were in attendance, it was inexpedient
to form a bill of prices, or take any def.
mite action on the subjects before the Con-
vention.
A motion prevailed that when the Con-
yention adjourned, it would be to meet
again at Columbus, on Thursday, June 20th,
the day after the Union State Convention
The Secretary was instructed to issue q
call to the newspaper publishers of the
State, to meet at the above time and place,
to consider the following subjects, and any
Others that may be presented, and take such
action thereon as may be deemed expedient:
The best means of obtaining reduction
of the prices of printing paper. -..f
III erepeal of the duty on foreign paper.
Advance payment of subscriptions. The
right of the press of each county to the
printing of the county.
Prices of advertising and job work. The
establishment of an Ohio publishers adyer-
tising agency in New York City.
The thanks of the Convention were unan-
imously rendered to Hon. William 81. Smith.

and also to Mr.. Beach, of the Ohio State
Journal, for courtesies extended.

WHTTEwAsHING.-Ast this is the season
for spring house-cleaning and general
''clarin' up time" we give our readers an
excellent recipe for making whitewash:
Take clean, water-tight barrel, or other
suitable cask, and put into it half bushel
of lime. Slake it by pouring water over
it, boiling hot, and in sufficient quantity to
cover it five inches deep, and stir 1t in wa
ter, and add two pounds of sulphate of zinc
and one of common salt. These will cause
the wash to harden, and prevent its crack
ing, which gives an unseemly appearance
TO the work. If desirable, a beautiful cream
color may be added to the above wash, by
adding three pounds of yellow ochre; or a
good pearl or lead color, by adding lamp.
vine or ivory black. For fawn color, add
four pounds of lumber, Turkish or Ameri-
can-the latter is the cheapest-one pound
Indian red, and one pound common lamp
black. For common stone-color, add four
pounds umber and two pounds lamp black.
This wash may be applied with common
whitewash brush, and will be found much
superior, both in appearance and durabili-
ty, to common whitewash.
TOBACCO AND CIGARS.-"Give me puff,
said the cigar to the editor. "Il1 see you
burn first" was the reply. There is no
trouble in putting such cigars as j. Will
loughby manufactures and sells at No. 73
North High street. He yesterday sent us
a box OF cigars of most delightful flavor.
and paper of "Chingarora" smoking to-
bacco, for the sale of which be has the sole
agency in the West. It is anti-nervous,
and by using it our young men can color
their meershaums without destroying their
nerves. The boys in the Office who have
tried it, pronounced it an article far supe-
rior to anything in the smoking line they
have been able to buy in the city. They
will bear testimony to the "Chingarora,"
and we will swear to the cigars. When you
want "a first rate article of tobacco, snuff
or cigars, go to J. Willoughby, 73 North
High street, and tell him you saw notice
in The STATESMAN ais to the superiority or
his stock, and that you also desire to add
yours to the general testimony that his
can't be beat. - .-.,..1
THE EXHIBITION OF THE AGE.-The name
of John Robinson, coupled with exhibit
tions of rare merit and costly equipments,
has become national celebrity. Through
out every portion of the country, and in
every city, town and village, he has repu-
tation superior to that of any other mana
ger, and young and old are assured that
when his bills are displayed they will not
be disappointed in anticipating display of
the rarest and most recherche arenic per-
fOrmances ever presented beneath pavil-
ion.
We are now simply alluding to the Eques-
trian, Gymnastic and general acts of the
"Olympiad," which, however, only consti-
tute one feature of the gigantic exhibition
he has organized for the present season of
1867. This department has. been perfected
with the most scrupulons care, and, it is
not too much to assert, embodies more
arenic ability in the shape of Equestri-
ennes, Horsemen, Acrobats, Gymnasts,
Clowns, Danseues, Ethiopian Comedians
and general performers, than any other
Circus in America, or, we may say, the
world. .ss - .e
The magnificent stud of Horses and the
Liliputian Performing Ponies; after being
selected for beauty symmetry and sagacity.
have undergone an education which none
but the most experienced maitre de cheval
can conceive. The accoutrements, para
phernalia, costumes, trappings and ap-
pointnlents are in style of splendor to fas-
cinate the eye, while the performances
captivate the senses ofewonder and admi-
ration, and carry the imagination to the
classic era of Athenian and Olympic games
