Our usual lively business town is
very quiet this week, except of morn

found time to come to town this week
has also taken time to visit the Fair,
which leaves our trading population
very few and far between.
We are having a Bice little rain
this morning, which is much better
calculated to promote the growth OF
vegetation and prepare the ground
for sowing wheat, than it is to en-

At congregational meeting of thu
First Presbyterian Church, of Find
lay, Sept. 2, 1869, the following pre-
amble and resolutions were unanl
mously adopted:
WHEREAS, The Pastor of this
Church, the Rev. j. M. Cross, has
declared it his desire that the pasto-
raj relation between himself and this
congregation be dissolved on account
of long continued ill-health. There
fore,
RESOLVED, That we, the congrega-
ton of the First Presbyterian Church
of Findlay, Ohio, do unite with our
pastor in asking Presbytery to dis
solve the relation existing between
him and us.
Resolved, That in acceding to
his request, we, as a church, are
called upon to make great sacrifice,
but are influenced by the purest mo-
tives and most Christian purposes,
considering the interest o. our dear
ly beloved pastor as imperatively
demanding of us such action and
sacrifice.
Resolrsd, That in giving up our
pastor, We are aware that we lose a
strong prop in our church, kind
and genial friend, and q safe coun.
sellor, who came to US in our adversi-
ty, when we were few and feeble,
only eighty members,
while now, by the Great Head of the
Church, and the untiring efforts Of
our Brother, we number, exclusive
of deaths and removals, one hundred
and sixty.
Resolped, That we recognize in
the Rev. J. NJ. Cross an example of
the highest type of q Christian,
faithful to the vows he has taken up
on himself as a minister of the Lord
Jesus Christ, and eminently success
ful in his labors of love and mercy. |
Resolved, That our prayers and
kindest regards 60 with him and his
family wherever God, in His provi-
dence may cast his lot

ABOUT TAXATION.

"Col. Campbell then proceeded to
speak of the question OF taxation
He maintained that the expenses OF
Government, Federal, State, County,
and Township, should be raised in
just proportions from the people, &C
cording to their respective means to
pay. If a man is worth fifty dollars
let him be taxed on fifty dollars. II
he is worth million let him be taxed
on a million dollars. He would tax
the tools of the mechanic, the cattle
and farms of the farmer the goods OF
the merchant, the machinery of the
manufacturer, and the bonds of the
bondholder. He maintained the jus.
tice of this upon the principle that
taxes were for the support of the
Government which protects the pI op
erty of all alike Col. Le,cis D.
Campbeips Speech at Paddys Run.
Such is the Democratic theory OF
taxation, as proposed by one who is
a candidate for State Senate.
No tax upon the luxuries of the
rich, unless you tax the necessaries
of the poor. No tax upon whiskey
and tobacco unless you tax bread
and mest. No tax on beer unless
you tax milk. No tax uponthe piano
of the rich man unless you tax the
loom of the poor widow.
No tax upon the costly furniture
and carpets of the millionaire unless
you tax the humble cot and necessa-
~ furniture of the poor man. No
tax upon the income of the specula.
tor and banker unless you tax the
few dollars which frugal industry has
placed in the Savings Bank, as q
provision againstaecident or old age.
No tax upon the gold watch unless
ysu tax the old fashioned clock in
the corner.
No tax upon the fine carriage un
less you tax the tools of the poor
shoemaker. No tax upon the splen-
did equipage unless you tax the plain
farm-wagon. No tax upon unpro-
wealth unless you tax busy
machinery.
Taxpayers, how do you like the
prospect of Democratic taxation p
Farmers and mechanics, who, under
Republican rule, payne taxes for the
support of the General Government,

Romantic Story.

We have just heard of a rather
romantic story which has transpired
in this city, the truth of which we can
vouch for, Notwithstanding its sensa-
tiOnal proclivities. A few years since,
a girl living as domestic in an aris-
tOcratic and wealthy family of Liver
pool, England, won the affections of
the son of that family. The young
man became smitten of his inamorata,
and resolved upon marrying her
When he made his intentions known
to his parents, serious opposition was
manifested. The girl, though a good
one, virtuous and honest, was not in
keeping with the family standing in
society. To marry such a one was
considered a disgrace in England,
especially when the family of the
young man was of the highest blood.
Notwithstanding all this, the young
man cast aside all family ties, and
married the poor girl of his fathers
house. The result was, that the boy
was driven from his parental roof, and
took up an humble abode with his
wife. They lived together in peace
and happiness a long while. A son
was born out of this wedlOck. Final
ly the husband of the girl was taken
sick with that terrible disease, con-
sumption, and died, leaving the girl
widow with her child. During the
illness of her husband the latter re-
eeived kind considerations at the
hands of his parents, although they
never, in person, visited his bedside.
Soon after the death of her husband
the widow and child came to this
country with her father and mother.
They settled in this city. The father
and mother took up a home for them
selves, while the widow went out to
service in a well-knOwn family living
on Washington avenue. She had
been there for a long time, and was
honored and respected by her employ
ers. Last week she received a letter
the fact that the whole of
the estate of her husbands father,
to e5OO, 900, had been be-
queathed to her SON. Arrangements
were at once perfected, and on We'd
nesday last the servant girl, accom-
panied by her father, sailed from New
York for Liverpool, to look after the
fortune coming to them.-Albdng pa
