AesaL-Democrats and those of our Repub-
licau friends who so desire, can have their le-
gal advertisements inserted in the Jeffersoni ian
by instructing the officer or attorney 10 that
effect.-Guernsey Jehersonian.
We would be very much obliged to the Jef1er-
sonian if it would inform us how such result
is possible. Guernsey County is a very strong
Republican County, and all the officers are Re-
publicans, and yet we see frequently Sheriffs
advertising in the columns Of the Democratic
paper In this County, which is Democratic,
all Republican litigants are compelled to pay
tribute to the Democratic paper, and in order to
aid a partisan press the Democratic Judge has
changed the universal custom, acted upon by
every Judge who has preceded him, of allow
inespecial Master Commissioners at the request
of Attorneys and litigants and by this con-
temptible partizan conduct he has forced Re-
publican money into the pocket OF the Demo-
cratic editor and Democratic Master Commits
sioner in violation of every principle ofjustice.
We do not know what view Democrats may
take of this matter, but we cannot see why it
= would not be far more honorable TO deliberately
take the money out of a mans pocket-book or
.money-till and give 1t to these hungry gentle
men.
In Republican County Democrats can have
their legal advertising including Sheriff7s sales,
published in their own paper; in Democratic
County all advertising is arbitrarily forced into
the columns Of the party.
yhis fact, citizens of Belmont County, clearly
illustrates the character of the two parties, the
one acts upon the principle ofjustiee and right.
the other ON the principle that everything is
right that helps the party or Its tools.

A Norway Rat Domesticates with n
Litter of Pigs.-Mr. Charles Kugler, who re-
sides on South street. has a SOW with litter of
pigs about week old. Having observed large
Norway rat in the pen several different times
he concluded last Wednesday evening to hunt
him up and dispatch him. Proceeding to the
pen about twilight he cautiously approached
and found the little pigs huddled together, the
rat familiarity domesticated in the center of the
group. Mr.. Kugler attempted to kill him but
he escaped unhurt. Shortly after ten Mr.. Kug-
Ter and his wife went again 10 the pen provided
with light and beheld the spectacle at once
marvellous and ludicrous, the six little
pigs were drawing vigorously the lacteul fluid
and Mr.. Norway rat attached to middle teat
and initiating the grunt of his new made
friends, was enjoying the repast hugely. Mr..
Kugler again tried to kill him with hoe but he
escaped with a bad wound, since which time he
has not been seen.
Population of BarnesviIIe.--The census
of 1850 gave GAINESVILLE population of less than
twelve hundred, the present population exceeds
twenty-eight hundred. In 1860 one or two BUTCH
ers barely made living at the business during
the Summer and Fall months and suspended
operations during the winter, now five butch
er shops in operation summer and winter can
hardly supply the demand. In 1860 five or six
grocery stores made a poor living, now twenty
four stores of that kind supply the wants of our
citizens and make good thing for themselves
Besides these a wholesale grocery is doing
thriving and lucrative business. In 1850 Wheel
ing supplied us with holloware and castings
now two well conducted Iron Foundries do a
large and successful business. In 1860 the citi-
zens of Barnesville could not obtain hardware
short of Wheeling, now two large establish
ments deal exclusively in hardware and drive
an extensive trade. GAINESVILLE is still advan-
cling.
Longevity.-Forty-o citizens of the town
of BarnesvilIe are over seventy years of age
Sorghum Crop.-The manufacture of sorgh-
um moiasses has been brought to a high state
of perfection in Warren Tow nship. The molas-
SeS this season is unusually heavy, averaging
eleven pounds TO the gallon, and OF a superior
quality. The mills in BarneSyille and vicinity
turned out some ten thousand gallons this sea-
son. Nearly all the surplus crop sold at the
mills at an average price of seventy live cents
per gallon.
Tobacco Crop.-There is about an average
crop of tobacco this season, which is rapidly
changing hands at prices ranging from two TO
seven dollars per hundred pounds. G.

Bellaire Locals.

The gloomy unpleasant weather of the
past week, has had rather depressing
effect on out door business. The rise in
the river was not sufficient to be of any
great advantage to shippers. There is an
enormous amount of produce and manu-
featured articles awaiting shipment by
river, and the holders of the same are
getting anxious, as freights by r. r. are
too high to allow a sufficient margin for
profits.
BY your last paper we learn that th
question of the removal Of the Counte
Seat has been started again. If the con-
venience and interests of three-fourths
OF the people of the county is at all con-
suited, we are satisfied that Bellaire is
the place for the County Seat, and
would protest against any action that
looks to the expenditure OF large sums
of money for that purpose elsewhere.
unless by vote of the people. If there
was branch r. r. from Bridgeport or
Bellaire, to your place whereby we could
get there in reasonable time and small
expense, the people would rest contented
to let the subject rest There is latent
capital in the northern part of the
County to open up communication with
the world by r.. r., and the line could

finished their contracts on the new

Ironical-The communication of"Belmont"
in the last st. Clairsvi1le Gazette, touching the
character and capacity of our present Court Of
Common Pleas, is regarded by competent judges
as the best sample of ironical writing ever pub
lished in this county. The fact that the editor
suffered himself TO be imposed upon by sell so
transparent has done more to destroy his rep
utation for sagacity than his attachment to the
cone-tops; his abuse of Mayor West; his treat
ment of DIR. Mitchell, or his defense of Nose
Kline, and these have well-nigh ruined him.

THE Washington Special to the Pitts

arrival of Spanish war vessels at New
York:
The sensation story about Spanish
fleet on its way to New York is OF piece
with those of few days ago about the
Spanish gurboats. The facts are that
four or five Spanish vessels are under
stood to be on their way to Cuban Wa
ters, and may possibly call, in civil
way, at New York but there is nothing
whatever Oh which to found suspicion
that they have the least hostile inten-
ton. The custom of our Government
has always been to show courtesies to
vessels of foreign nations visiting this
country, and accordingly it will have
three vessels in New York barber at the
time the spanish vessels must arrive, II
they come at all. OF these vessels the
Terror and Miantonomah are destined
for Southern waters, and are ne5 order
ed to New York for either offensive or
defensive purposes.
