On the night of the 25th of March, !,
1868, at about II o'clock, was called
to visit a child, I8 months old, said to
be in convulsions, and thought to be
caused by worms. 1t being ont of my
power to visit it at that hour, sent
prescription. r anti spasmodics
anthemlntlc Alternative S purgatve.
On the Goth, | visited the child, and
found it worse. The Cathartics would
not operate, and the child was sinking
fast. From the family ] elected the
following history. Some three weeks
previous to this, the child "a sprightly
little girl, } had fallen upon the cooking
stove and burned and.bruised her up
per lip so badly that it was not yet
healed. On the day previous to my
visit, she had been as well as usual all
the forenoon. In the afternoon her
mother decided to heal up the sore lip,
She accordingly emptied the ashes out
of her pipe, then with her finger, wiped
the oil from the bowl and applied it to
the lip. She mixed some with lard,
applying it also. In "a short time,
according to the history,) she fell
asleep, sweating profusely, and so con-
tinued until 10 o'clock p. NJ, when her
parents awoke, finding her in convul-
sions, At this time they sent for me.
The medicine | sent alleviated the spas
modic action, but she still continued to
sink and when Iarrived she was unable
to swallow or see. She died at 8 o'clock
Z. M. , about 80 hours after the applica-
ton. How many sudden deaths among
children, are caused in the same way,
ii is hard to tell.

Mn MAcKLEW Sr-IIaving called
your attention to the way you spelled
"Strait" last week, Blind that you still
continue to claim that you spelled it
properly, and state that you find it
spelled both ways in Webster's Una
bridged Dictionary, page 1890 and also
refer to the Anew Testament, Shak-
speare and other authorities" to show
that you are correct To show that
Shakespeare is not good authority on
the subject, lpropose to call your at
tention to his manner OF spelling sever
al words On page 400 ofShakspeare's
Complete Works, you will find foreteR
spelled foretel. Onpage l07, praoticed
is spelled practised. On page 457, Of
fense is spelled offence. On page 40
Victualers is spelled Victuallers. On
page 4O5, the word .ty er fe is spelled
iye,
In the Testament, in the phrase
"Strait is the gate and narrow is the
way," it does not mean the gate is not
crooked, but close. In the lst Chapter,
8 verse of Mark is, "And Jesus when
he was baptized, went up straightway
out of the water" Here straightway
means, not crooked Somuch for Shak-
speare and the Testament, AS you did
not give your 'other authorities" of

FRIENDS OF THE LABORING
MAN.

If the Democrats are 50 great friends
of the laboring man, how does it come
that the only laboring man they had on
their Corporation ticket at the late cleo
ton in Jackson was the only man de-
feated2 They had on their ticket one
lawyer, on furnace clerk, one banker,
one merchant, three furnace owners,
and one bricklayer. All were elected
but the poor bricklayer. While Mr..
Chapman, the banker, had 230 votes,
Dan Peck, the bricklayer, had but l63,
or 67 less than the banker. 1t is true,
Mr.. Chapman is a'frstrate man. but
can you say anything less of Mr. Peckl
His fault was that he was a "mudsill." ="
The party that always degraded labor,
by making the laboring man a chattel
wherever it had the power, only uses
the laboring man to get his vote.--
Anybody with the Democracy before a
"greasy mechanic" Laboring men do
we'll enough to vote but they must not
ask for Office. If they do, they must
stand back, as Dan Peck, the bricklay-
er has had to do,

- TuCRE TROUnT.E AHEAD?

The Cincinnati Chroaicis thinks that Andy
johnson means mischief If he is put out Of office.
II thinks the Ohio Legislature Is remaining In
session for the purpose Of giving aid and comfort
to johnson If he attempts to got up another
rebellion.
The rebel papers are throwing out lnslnuOtlons
that there will be trouble.
Here Is what the UhillIcothe Advertiser says
"WHAr DOES IT MEAN.~The telegraph In
forms us that Lhe President has appointed Gen,
Hancock 10 the command Of the Department Of
the Atlantic, and that Gen, Gordon Granger Is to
succeed Gen. Ewing In command of the troops
IN Washington. As these Generals are both
earnest friends Of tho President It looks as
though johnson intended to give the Jaeobn
scauers some fun In eJoetlng him from the White
House"
If Andy Johnson and his rebel crew really In.
tenSanother rebellion, lot them be Immediately
hung, without benefit Of clergy.

NOTHING sTRANGEAB

We have been told that our young Mayor Ir-
vlue DUNCAN, says he was in the army, and Is q
Democrat. There Is nothing strange about this.
There were over half million Democrats in the
army during the "late onpleasantuess, We
saw Ave thousand Democrats in the army all at
one time, There was not Republican among
them. II was on the 18th Of July, 1858, They

eTThe report Of the Adjutant Gen
eral of Ohio is valuable document
We notice that the claim due our citi-
zens for property taken by the Union
forces in pursuit of John Morgan's men
are not in a condition to be realized
very soon.
The names Of the Union dead buried
at Green Lawn Cemetery, Columbus,
are given. They amonnt to over sew
enteen hundred The names of the
rebel dead buried at Camp Chase are
given. They amount to over thirty
one hundred.
The report, in speaking of the burial
place of these dead traitors says;
The burial places of the Confederate
dead are entirely neglected, and are
overgrown with weeds and briers.
Some care should also be bestowed on
these cemeteries, and that at an early
day, as otherwise they will soon be en-
tirely obliterated and forgotten. The
bitterest enmity should stop, at least at
the edge of the grave, but the condition
of these burial places would indicate
that such is not always the case.
We call the attention of the living
Confederate Democracy to the above.
Could not the Ohio Legislature make
an appropriation to put up suitable
monuments at the graves oftheir friends,
who fell in the cause they SO dearly
love7

GLORIOUs VICTORTES.

The Democrats pretend that they are satisfied
with the result of the spring elections In jackson
county. Let US SEQ what they have to rejoice
about.
In jackson township the Republicans had M
ticket. In Jefferson and Bloomfield the Demo
crats had no ticket. Madison aud Hamilton We
have not heard from.
In Milton last fall the Democrats had 30 major
ity. Now they have an average of 0. In Wash
iugton last fall they had So. Now they average
q. In sclolo last fall they had ILL., Now they
hare o. In Liberty last fall they had 60. Now
they have 66 In franklin there was no test
this spring aS to party strength, but the regular
Republican ticket was elected over the Demo.
Gratis and dlsanected Republicans.
Now Let us see who has gained.

THE BELL RINGERS.

On the 14th Of December, 1866, these travelling
humbugs visited our town. We exposed them
and for this one of the Portsmouth papers, we
think IL was the Tribune, took us to task, and
said we had no taste for music &c. These played
out humbugs have been travelling around this
winter, and have paid Portsmouth another visit
Here Is what the Tribune now saws about them;
"The Alleghanlans played to two OVERLOOKING
houses here last week. This Is announced as
their farewell tour, aud we hope lt will prove
so. They are an antiquated troupe, and evidently
travel on their reputation and ION the cheaps."
The songs they sing are 'old as the hills" and
the music Is Of that cullarly melancholy and
sepulchral character which has tendency to
produce cheerful thoughts of graves, tombs
ghosts, and slch. They play the same pieces on
the BELLS and sing the same songs they did on
their first tour, and the probability Is they have
never learned any others. When we say that
Miss Jenner Is q fine vocalist we say all that can
be said for the etroupe. Mr. Galloways so-called
bulo songs are the verlest nonsense, executed In
the worst possible style. Their ''orchestra'
consists of wheezy old cabinet organ, which
they carry about with them TO save the expense
OF hiring good instrument. It is possible they
can do better than they did here, as 1t was evil
dent they made no effort TO please, doubtless
thinking we "slmpe country folk" could be
easily gulled with their cap.trap 'musc y
When they come again Lot our people teach them
that we can at least understand when we are
Imposed upon, and know how to resent such
Insults 10 our taste and musical sense as they
offered us"

kg-"The election on Monday passed of qul-
ety." That is what we see in every Ohio ex-
change we have examined. Only few years
ago election day was a scene of riot, and often
of bloodshed, in various places. But now we
have an excellent law, which in the country at
least, is very generally observed and obeyed.
The dOggeries are shut up on election days.
That is the secret Of the whole matter.
Now If the doggerles can be legally closed on
two days in the year with results so satisfactory,
why can they not be shut during the other 36a
days

A SNAIL MAN IN A SMALL BUSINESS. We have
Information, from reliable source, that one
Peter Shire-ASS, who Is In some way connected
with the banking firm of j. Ellison Il Co.. has
taken II upon himself TO walt upon the citizens
OF Manchester and ask them to withhold their
patronage from the Scion, on account of a COM
munlcatlon published In our paper, week before
last over the signature of "Slisher." Now we
Imagine that this sweet-soented, highly-perfumed
squirt-thls THING with bob-talled coat, tight
legged panialoons, and about as much brains as q
sucking woodpecker had very little to do In the
Banking business when he stuck goose-quill TO
the side of his empty skull, and marched around
the town Of Manchester asking the business men
OF that place TO discontinue their patronage with
the Scion paper he (sad thlng) had never pat
ronized TO the amount of one dollar. Oh, he Is
small, and as TO his SOUL oh, Lord 40, 900 such
souls could dance hornplpe ON the pairing OF a
gnats toe nail, aud have room enough left for
the supper table, He's too small for us, And
now we advise this soap-locked fop to attend to
his counter hopping and etapoOr printer alone.
-West Union Scion.
We advise Bro. Burwell not 10 be alarmed at
such demonstrations The same game was tried
upon us one year ago, by q few "lowd fellows of
the baser sort. But while these Simon Tap-
pertlts were going around with their subscription
paper, trying TO inJure our private business, they
neglected their own business, and while we made
a little money during the year, they made zone,
as will appear by the income returns published
by us week before last.
