RANDOM THOUGHTS No. le.
BY THE EDITOR.

"This is the fifteenth of April, eight
cen hundred and thirty eight. How
many Of my congregation will be living
one year from this day. win all of
you be then living! That isvery uncer-
tain"
The above was the commencement
of sermon delivered by Francis Will
son, a Methodist circuit rider, at the
old NJ. Z. Church in Oak Hill, on Sab
bath forenoon, April 10, 18S8-now
thirty years ago. Impressed it upon my
memory. l was very certain in my
own mind that was one who ought to
give that sentence due weight. On the
day before / had been to log rolling
at Enos Bartons, and had lifted at
hand-spike perhaps twenty times du-
ring the day, and as | was going home
in the evening, some two miles distant,
l had palpitation of the heart, and had
to stop and rest several times in going
up the steep hill beyond Levi McDan-
iel's farm. On this Sabbath morning
felt but little like, could live to see
April Is, 1889.
But here ! am, and have lived just
thirty years since / heard that warning
Of Francis Wilson. He died in Texas
many years ago. Of that congregation
how many yet live' fl bad known
then that l would live thirty years,
what good might / have accomplished.
But | was disposed to look too much
upon the dark side of life's journey.
And the lesson wish to convey is this:
Always look upon the bright side of
your path. Keep your face to the glo-
rious sunlight, ! have seen many dark
days in these last thirty years, and have
often been despondent; but for some
years past l have trained myself differ
emily, and find that can accomplish
much more than l could formerly.
If these reflections and suggestions
should stimulate some young man to be
hopeful and energetic, my purpose will
be accomplished. ID. M.

We see by the Ironton Register that there Ii
quite an excitement At that place, and that the
leading men there are taking action about mat
Ter which recently transpIrod In that county.
During the war, . rebel soldier named Meeks
iefs the rebel army In Kentucky, and set up a
store In johnson county, and then and there sold
ammunition and provisions to the rebels. A
squad Of soldiers undertook 10 ''clean ont" thus
rebel establishment, aud compelled Mr.. John
Wells, UuIon man, tog 30 with them as guide.
Wells took no part in breaking up the establish.
rnent. Wells was compelled by the rebels to
leave, and be came 10 Lawrence county, Ohio.
Meeks came over TO that county aud prosecuted
Wells for rCbbery and larceny. lie was acqult-
ted. Quite recently, Ralph Leete, member Of
The Legislature from Lawrence county, procured
awarrant from the rebel Governor OF Kentucky,
demanding the rendition Of Wells, aud Governor
Hayes issued bis warrant the Sheriff Of Law
renee county, aud In.the night Wells was seized
add taken to Kentucky and lodged in jail. All
tia haa caused great Indignation In Lawrence

strong resolutions passed. Gen. G. G. Hawley,

IMPEACHMENT,

On last Thursday Mr., Curtis opened
for the defense, and made part OF his
argument. On Friday he concluded
his argument, and the evidence for the
defense was commenced. Gen. l..
Thomas was placed upon the stand,
and after his examination in chief, was
rigidly cross examined by Gen. Butler
On Saturday Gen Thomas was again
on the stand. Then Gen. Sherman was
called, aud when asked to state certain
things said by the President, the Man
ayers objected, and the Senate sustained
the objections. The counsel for the
President then asked for time to con-
suit, and the Senate adjourned over to
Monday. Before we go to press we
viii get Mondays proceedings.
