CoMPLIMENTARY.-S the recent
Editorial Excursion, the Wisconsin edi-
tors seem to vie with each other in sound
ing the praises of the editors of Daven.
port, Iowa, and the proprietor of the
Burtis House of the same place. The
finest compliment of all is that paid by
Seymour of the La Crosse Republican.
Hear him: .a
The only putrid sore on the face of Iowa
is the English blackguard press of the beauti-
full city of Davenport, whose papers seem to be
edited by the most loathesome of brutes, not
even excepting the filthy bugs that phlebot-
omize sojournerS at the best and most nasty
hotels of that city. The editorial excursion
lists, having paid their bills and behaved de-
Gently, the insolence of the Davenport Eng
lish press was uncalled for and inexcusable.
If there is, on the face of Gods footstool. a
more disgusting pack of reptiles than the
Davenport English editors, the Burtis House
should get them for bed-bug poison.

SHOCKING DEPRAvITY Ham Utley of the
Racine Journal has fshed up an old gag that
has been going the rounds of the press, and
applied it to the fair damsels of Kenosha. He
deyotes half column to the discovery" of
Petrifying Spring. in Pike woods, short
distance north of this city, and ends with
the following:
There is a beautiful legend connected
with this singular spring, of lovely Indian
maiden. daughter of the celebrated chief Ke-
nosha-who after having been betrothed to a
young brave of another tribe-was in the
habit of going to this spring to battle her
feet, and the very morning the nuptialS were
to be celebrated, it was discovered that her
feet had turned to stone. A great medicine
man was called. who decided that she must
be put to death, as an evil spirit had taken
possession of her. Her lover (the brave) ask
ed the privilege of being sacrificed with her,
a request which was readily granted. They
were buried at the head of this spring and it
is believed by the inhabitants living in the
vicinity of the spring that on any pleasant
summer evening, they can hear the splashing
OF the maiden's feet in the water. 1t was in
honor of this noble transaction on the part
of the brave young chief, that the village of
Southport, changed its name to Kenosha,
and singular custom prevails in that city
to this day. No maiden after becoming be-
trothed, e0er battles her Jfeet.''
This same spring was discovered first in
Alabama; then we read of it in New Hamp-
shire F.; later we hear of it out west-always
with the beautiful legend" of the lovely
Indian maiden attached, and the name of the
place changed to suit the occasion. 1t shows
too much of the second hand joke. Ham. Too
much jealousy of our good looking girls.
Ham. And if we didn't know him to be
strictly temperate young man, we should say
it showed the presence Of too much picked
Ham. 4 8 ~ @

Idle Children.

The schools of this town are now in
successful operation, and parents should
see that their children are in constant
attendance. This is duty which they
owe not only to themselves but it is one
which they owe to their children. When
schools are free to all, there can be no
excuse for children being kept from reg
ular attendance. The Importance of ed
ucating the rising generation is matter
which should strike every one, and none
more forcibly than those who have felt
the want of it in their own cases. We
notice in our streets from day to day
children who perhaps have not been in
attendance single day since the schools
commenced, and who would be much
improved both in morals and manners
if they were compelled by their parents
to attend punctually without the loss of
n day. The habits which children ac-
quire who are permitted to roam at lib
erty through the streets, generally grow
with their growth and cling to them
through life, and often shape their des-
tiny for evil. When we see them in the
streets, witnessing the vices which meet
them at every turn, while others are in
school laying the foundation for future
usefulness, we feel that their parents are
laying up for themselves as well as for
their offspring a store of sorrow which
might be avoided by judicious training
and mental cultivation. If youth is
squandered in idleness, vice and ignor-
ance, the habits of manhood cannot be
such as will make life blessing and old
age comfortable and respected. There
is much in the proper training of youth
to insure happy future. Few children
whose education is neglected and who
are permitted to grow up in ignorance
and idleness ever become useful and re-
spected members of society, and many
of them go down either to drunkard's
or criminals grave.

There is nothing that adds so much
attractiveness to church services as
good choral music. We have often no.
ticed that in churches where the music
is good, the congregations are generally
large. Outsiders are attracted by the
well rendered performance of a good
choir, accompanied by fine instru-
ment. We do not believe, however, in
few persons doing all the singing. But
give us good choir, with a good organ,
and then let the whole congregation
unite in swelling some grand choral
such as Old Hundred, Coronation, Dun
dee, &c. Such music lifts us from .sor-
did cares of earth and inspires us with
higher and nobler aims and purposes.
That congregational singing is greatly
desirable in religious worship, is too
widely acknowledged to require proof
That it is generally attainable, is not so
universally conceded. In so many of
our congregations, the people are averse
to lifting up their voices in honest,
hearty praise. Whatever degree of
courage may be exhibited in social life
by those who excel in the gift of song.
it is apt to vanish and give place to an
excessive timidity in the house of God.
This affectation of modesty may be very
becoming at such time, but it is GER
tainly very hostile to the cause of con-
gregational singing. If person has a
voice for singing, we think he should
use it in singing praises, if he uses it
at all.
But technical knowledge of music
on the part of the congregation, is not
essential to common praise. A thank
full heart or fervent soul will naturally
seek to give utteranee to its emotion by
the use of that instrument of praise
which God has given to each one of us,
and which may be neglected or i'm
proved as we may choose. Devout as
pirations will find voice in song, if not
hindered or repressed by adverse infiu-
ences. As it is music that planes down
the ruggedness of our nature, subdues
its asperities, attunes it to Him the in
fluX of whose great loving nature Vi
brates in all the tissues of our being,
and lifts lis up toward that loftier exist
ence, where it is, in its highest signifi-
cance, the souls language, why should
not every one endeavOr to improve his
talent, however small it may be, in Or
der that he may be enabled to enjoy all
the pleasures which flow from this
source.

Accident.

On Sunday last an accident occurred
on the Danville road, by which Jackson
Mcdowell, young man about 20 years
of age, who lives some distance in the
country, was severely injured. He and
his brother had been at church in Mil
lersburg, and on returning home, they
had invited Mr.. Uhl to ride with them.
The colt which they were driving took
fright, when they were about three
miles from town, and ran away. In en-
deavoring to hold it, the lines broke, in
consequence of which, the buggy was
run against bank, overturned and bro
ken, throwing all three out. Jackson
fell upon his face, which was severely
bruised, breaking his nose and cutting
his head badly. DIR. Ross was called
out, and after examining him carefully
found that he had not sustained any in
ternal injury. The rest escaped with
slight bruises. The young man is re-
covering as fast as could be expected.

TO SUBSCRIBERS.

We are under many obligations to
our friends for the large increase in
our subscription list during the last
week or two. We hope that the
steady stream may continue to flow
until our list shall yet be largely in
creased. We are in receipt of COM
pliments continually, from all sec
tions of the country, as to the ap-
pearance and spirit Of the REPUBLI-
CAN. Hear what a prominent man
in Pennsylvania says Of it: 1--WE
have been delighted with your paper
and think it one of the best county
papers in the country. l hope it
will always maintain its present dig
nified tone and spirit. You can do
much good, by making it a family
paper of high order. l hope you
may be greatly prospered in your
undertaking."

PRESBYTERIAN Memorial Fund.

The Memorial Convention called for
the purpose of taking action in regard
to the Presbyterian Memorial Fund of
$4,000, 900, met in the Third Presbyterian
Church, Pittsburg, Thursday afternoon.
There was a large attendance, West Vir-
ginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania being rep
resented. The session was chief de-
voted to discussions and remarks upon
the following resolutions, all of which
were adopted. Among the leading
speakers were Rev. Drs. w. II. Goodrich
and James Eells, of Cleveland:
In view of the wonderful grace ofour
Lord Jesus Christ in re-rmiting the Pres
byterian Church after division OF thir-
ty-one years, and also of the purposes
and resolution of the United General
Assembly in session in this place in No
vember last, to lay upon the Lords altar
a memorial offering of $5,OOO,0OO within
the current year, to be permanently
used in the ftlrtherance of His cause, it
is
Resolced, That as ministers, officers
and members of branch of the church
most signally blessed, we realize and
confess the obligation thus assumed and
intend to do our several parts in re-
deeming the pledge made before the
Lord in faith and prayer.
RESOLVED, That pastors and stated sup
plies are hereby affectionately urged to
work on in connection with the sessions,
adopt and execute without delay the
plan in which their judgement may
seem most practicable to secure from
each person in their several congrega-
tions-including parents and children
a contribution to some one or more of
the objects contemplated in this memo
rial fund.
Resolued, That without offensive die
tation, we appeal to contributors not to
confine their gifts to local and home OBJ
jects, however worthy, but also to aid as
far as possible the general enterprises
which look directly to the benefit of the
whole church in her great work for
Christ.
ResOlred, That while the most vigor-
Gus efforts are demanded by this great
crisis to carry the memorial project to
complete success, great care should like
wise be taken that there should be no
subtraction from the ordinary resources
of the Church, especially that of the
Boards, which under great anxiety and
difficulty are carrying forward the great
work of the Gospel in behalf of the
whole Church, both at home and abroad.

Court i'm Session.

The Court of Common Pleas began its
fall session last Wednesday the 18th
inst. The majority of the most impor-
tant cases were passed over till next
term. On Monday quite laughable
incident occurred. A jury was impan-
neled in the morning, which sat all fore
noon. During the time of adjourn
ment at noon, so we are informed, one of
the jurors, good Democrat from Wal
nut Creek, took his tea a little to strong,
and concluding not to wait for the finale
of the case in hand, jumped on his
horse and went flying over the hills to-
ward home. Court being called, only
eleven jurors made their appearance in
the box. When the truth of the matter
became known to the Court, so indig-
nant was the Judge, that he let him go
without sending after him. The parties
interested agreed to continue the case
with the eleven jurors. At this writing
the case is still in progress.

Piekpekets.

We understand that several persons,
among whom were one or two of our
citizens, had their pockets relieved Of
some of their change, in the crowd at
the depot in 0rrville on Thursday and
Friday evenings. Quite number of
thieves and blacklegs were present du-
ring the fair, but owing to the vigilance
of the police force, they were not per-
mitted to do much damage, except to
riddle few pockets at the station.

Orryilie Fair,

The Orrv lille Fair, held on the 18th
18th and 14th was perfect success. The
weather was pleasant, especially on the
last day, which had a great deal to do,
with the large concourse of people that
assembled. 1t is said that there never
was so large crowd of people in
Orrville as was there on Friday
The Fair itself was good. Floral
Hall was well filled with large assort-
ment of articles, all of which deserved
more or less commendation. The
Vegetables and Fruit Departments were
as good as we have ever seen at any
county fair. Other departments were
equally well represented. The trotting
matches were interesting. We have not
learned what the proceeds were, but
from outside appearances they must
have been large.

that the day shall excel the oath of June.
