To Meaaure an Acre.

Land, BOT square yards make one square
rod; 40 square rods make one square rood;
4 square roods make one acre; Gao acres
one square mile, 4,S40 square yards or l60
rods, make one acre. ln measuring an
acre by yards, the usual practice is to trace
off 20 yards in length aud 70 yards in
width. This, in n rough way, may be
considered near enough for practical pur-
poses; but as 20 yards. either way make
1900 square yards, il exceeds one acre by
60 yards. To determine an accurate acre
il may be measured 20 yards 10 length by
SO IL in width. The same result may be
arrived at by measuring 220 feet in length
and lS0 in width, or by measuring 83b
yards in length by G6 yards in breadth.

WHEN TO CLEAN TEErH.-All admit
that acids are almost the exclusive agents
in commencing the decay in teeth. The
action is undoubtedly begun in sleep.
Through the day person is occasionally
drinking, eating, &c, and acids are con-
tinually disturbed in their action, but
during sleep they are active, and, if pres
eut, will certainly prey upon the teeth.
Therefore, before retiring is the proper
time to clean them if done only once a
day.

THE UNION PARADE SATURDAY EVENING.
The Republicans had grand rally
and fine torchlight procession, Sat
hrday night, as a final demonstra-
ton before the election. A large
number of torches and transparancies
were prepared for the occasion, and
the long line of light as it moved
through our streets presented a
beautiful sight. There were many
numerous and patriotic devices in
the transparencies, among them, one
entitled '.Blair Rhetoric represent

CONSTITUTIONAL DIrFRRENcBs.-
There are many constitutions so in
herently defective in energy as to
derive great benefit from-a moderate
use of pure liquor combined with
such vegetable medicines and ex-
tracts as enter into the composition
of Roback's Stomach Bitters, and
there are many situations in which
even the healthiest derive additional
security from their occasional use.
If healthy persons are exposed to
unusual and continued exertion in
confined air, or under the heat of the
sun, or to the influence of depress-
ing watchfulness by travelling, and
change of diet and water, or if resi-
dents of malarious districts or the
rank river bottoms of the West and
South, there can be no doubt but
careful use of Ro6ack's Stomach Bit
ters with the food would surely be the
means of warding off actual disease
and enabling them to bear up unaf-
fected where, without the Bitters,
they would likely have to succumb
to disease. They strengthen, tone
and invigorate, aid digestion and in
crease the appetite.

Joyful Scene in Conference,

The correspondent of the Ohio
State Journal gives the following ac-
count of an incident which occurred
in the Ohio Conference last Friday.
Our readers will recognize the vari-
Gus actors in the scene:
During the morning one of those
incidents which are worthy of even
more than newspaper record, occur
red
1t is the custom to call up and ex-
anime in order the characters of the
Ministers, Presiding Elders, of
course, among others. When the
name of Fl. z. Adams, P. E. OF Gal
lipolis District, was called, and the
usual question "Is there anything
against Bro. Adams2" asked, and
ere he had retired, while standing
hat in hand, ready to do so; Rev.
Levi Cunningham, of Gallipolis, sur
prised every one, and most of an
Bro. Adams, by the answer "yes."-
He then added that during his min
isterial life he had been associated
with eight presiding elders and new
er before had been compelled to say
aught of one. But he considered it
duty to be frank and speak in re-
gard to the character of Bro. Adams.
He closed by saying that the char
ges and specifications were in the
hands of Bro. Dillon, the P. E. of
portsmouth District, who, as Confer
ence Advocate, would present them
IN open Conference. The as.onish-
ment OF the Conference, and especi-
any the intense feeling of the broth,
er whose character was under cor.
slderatlen, may be imagined. bu.
surely cannot he described His
head fell on his breast. and no donbt
his heart was terribly agitated with
anxiety. All eyes turned to Rev.
John Dillon as he arose ana said that
1t had often been his lot to defend
persons who we're prosecuted by the
Conference; that sueh had always
found him ready to help them to a
fair showingi but now he was on the
wrong side He was to prefer char
ges in behalf of the brethren of the
Gallipolis District against their P
Elder, H. 2. Adams; which he then
did, about as follows;

er maintain that devotion and zeal
in the cause Of your Master that has
ever characterized YOUR life. = Al

STILL ANOTHER FRAUD.

The following dispatch from Ports
mouth, Ohio, speaks for itself. 1t
was received by gentleman in this
city, and shows that Dem ocracy will
stick at no fraud to secure victory
in this Congressional district, and
Ohio. The Cincinnati daily papers
assert that the same frau2 is being
perpetrated elsewhere throughout
the State:
'Look out for illegal Republican
tickets printed on colored paper or
with pictures. The democrats are
circulating them"
The Democratic Legislature, it
will be remembered, passed law, de-
clarine that all tickets should be
printed or written on white paper,
without any device. They are now
themselves circulating Republican
tickets, printed on colored paper, or
with some device, to deceive Repub-
llcan voters, and cause their votes 10
be.cast out. We have no doubt that
the law was passed for this very pur-
pose. as we see democrats are the
first men to violate it. What faith can
be placed in party guilty ofoueh cor
rupt practices, even manipulating
the law to make it subserve their
guilty plans.

ELEoTIoM FRAUDS.
DEMocRArIc REGARD OF LAW.

-~~-~f~-~--~
AS we write. the Democrats are
giving proof of their corruption,
and their intention to do everything
to win victory by fraud and even
crime, they can devise.
They have succeeded, by present
ing themselves in force at an early
hour at the polls of the Sd Ward in
this city, in putting in Democratic
Judges of Election, who are men
without property, and SO not respon-
sible for damages in rejecting votes.
AS we write (election day. they are
rejecting all "visible admixture"
votes presented, even admitting at
the same time, that they know them
to be legal votes under the decisions
of the Courts.
By putting in men without proper
ty, the Democracy hope to accom-
plish this fraud on the rights of
voters, without suffering the penalty
therefor. rfx
We rather think they have put
their foot in it, however, and placed
the poor dupes of their vile scheme,
in a worse position than mere
judgment for damages would put
them. An examination of the laws.
of 1867, and 1868, and the decision
of the Supreme Court upon the vail
dity of the law OF 1868, will show
that the separties have rendered them
selves liable to Imprisonment in Jail
from thee to six months, and fine of
$500 to $1,000. LET IT BE REMEMBER
ED THAT THE LAW WILL SURELY BE EN-
Such, voters, is specimen of the
honesty of the Democracy in this
canvass. Will you vote for party,
that seeks success by such frauds?

E 1t looks as though His Excel
lency President johnson proposed
to try his hand at trampling the
reconstruction laws of Congress into
the dust. By the terms OF these
laws no elections for President can
be held in the States of Virginia,
Mississippi and Texas. General
Reynolds so understands them, ana
accordingly issues an order inform
ing the people of Texas that no
election will take place in that State.
Thereupon the President, by general
order, admonishes General Reynolds
that he is not to interfere; which is to
say that Texas is to be treate d as a
State restored to the Union and re-
mitted to civil government. 1t Is
possible His Excellency may dis
cover, before a month rolls over his
head, that he is premature in his ac-
ton. The laws will be enforced, and
it is part of General Reynolds duty
to see to Cin Com.

General Dix,

The publication of Minister Dix's
recent letter in favor of Grant has
brought out two previous letters from
him, which we find in the Galena Ga
zeHe, One of them was dated in Jan
uary last, and opens by saying that the
writer had Thought for year that
Grant should be President, (Which
shows that Gen. Dix is no new advo-
cate of Grants nomination; and the
Gazette says that it ''should be known
that he Gen. Dix intends returning
to this country in the Spring, no matter
how the election results, his advocacy
of Gen. Grant, therefore, originates in
no desire to retain his position abroad"
The other letter, which was probably
addressed to Hon. E. B. Washburne,
is of nearly the same nature as the let
ter published a few days ago by Gen
eral Dix's own desire He expresses
his belief that Seymour's want Of firm
ness ("I know him WE'LL" says Gen.
Dix "would renew the dissensions
which have brought so much evil on
our country and he does not think
Seymour "has any of the qualifications
which are indispensable to maintain
the public tranquility at this juncture.
1t will be remembered that Gen. Dix
was in command in New York during
the. draft riots, and had then good
opportunity of observing Seymour's
conduct in a time of difficulty.

they were to wait until near the time
of closing the polls, and then come
forth in mass and carry the election.
But the scheme failed-they had
