There is drunken and dis
honest creature in Ohio who
calls himself "Petroleum Y.

Locke. He devotes a great
portion Of his time to SANDER
ing Democrats, over the sigma.
ture of the name above men
toned. He writes Democrats
down as all sorts of low, mean,
and thieving individuals, and
the Monsrel papers in all parts
of this State publish his low
slang. He lives in Toledo,
Ohio, and edits paper emit
tied the Toledo Blade. We
observe that there are in Tole-
do, this Nasty IN aSby's" place
ofabode, only 426 licensed re-
tail liquor shops, "A houses Of
prostitution, 1900 Mongrel ma

have read Nasby's drunken
slang about Democrats until
they think there is nothing bet,
ter. Talk no longer about
Democrats "keeping all the
liquors for SALE and drinking

The following excellent re-
marks relative to the most
iudicious mode of advertising
are from the Hartford Courant.
AS the business season has
opened, and the enterprising
cogitating upon the best
method of securing the
attention and patronage
of the public, the sug-
gestions will prove useful to
them:
The secret of adverting is
not yet discovered by all who
advertisise. A good deal Of
money and space is wasted in
clumsy announcements which
nobody reads, and heavy stand
ing placards which no more
stimulate purchasers than the
names on signs. Much money
is also wasted in circulars,
which are thrown into. entries
and down cellar-ways, and
ALWAYS received with contempt;
or in so-called advertising
sheets which nobody reads
There is no medium that comes
into such close contact with the
people as the newspaper; and
if advertisers only understood
their business they could make
their part of the paper as in
teresting as any other part ol
it. In many Of the German
papers advertising is carried tc
an extent Of which we have nc
Idea. The newspaper IS the
real exchange. Everybody
goes to it with all his wants
and almost all his woes. The
consequence is that the sheets
are as lively as neigh borhood
gossip, and often the pages de.
voted to advertising are the
best parts of the paper. And
the papers are read through
The announcements are alway:
short, and one looks at them tc
see what the world has to Offer
him that day, by way Of bust
ness or amusement. Somebody.
somewhere, announces some
thing that interests you every
day, and so life is made more
endurable, trade is quickened
and wants are supplied. We
look to see a more general use
of the advertising columns Of
the newspapers in this cuntry
for all the wants and queries
of life.

How the Government
I4led.

Mack of the Cincinnati In
quirer, tells the following
story:
During the war, and while
David Tod was Governor of
Ohio, the latter was arrested
on q warrant sworn out before
Judge Van Trump, who was
then a Circuit or Common
Pleas judge forgot which
at Lancaster. The arrest grew
out of the Edison B. Olds case,
l think, and was based upon
Tod's allowing a citizen of
Ohio to be taken from the State
without due process of law.
At any rate, Tod had to appear
before Judge Van Trump as Il
defendant. The War Depart
ment here instantly authorized
him to employ counsel and an
eminent lawyer of Lancaster
was retained. The amount Of
service he rendered was very
trfing. My informant says
he has known the same lawyer
to do more work for $50 than
he did in this case. Yet the
United States had to pay him
for Services rendered in the
defense Of Tod, fourteen thous'
and dollars; and that amount
was paid out 70 the Treasury
The rules of the Department
required the Endorsement of the
Judge to the bill. Judge Van
Trump, however, refused to
endorse the bill of fees; but it
was paid, nevertheless

The account written for this pa

by a lady correspondent, of our old
veteran friend, Father Shower, re-

says:
Father Shower came into our Of

New Depot and Machine
ShODS.

The officers of the M. d G..
r. r. have had in contempla-
ti'n, for some months, the cree,
tion of new Machine Shops at
ChilIicothe, and we are pleased
to learn that plans have been
fully consumated for the build
ing of a large and commodious
depot; a hotel, and extensive
manufacturing and Machine
Shops, on the grounds Of the
Company, between Main and
Fifth streets. To these will be
added a blacksmith shop Of
large dimensions, an oil house,
sand house, and other build
ings, necessary to the employ
ment of a large force for the
manufacturing and repairing Of
Railroad Machinery generally.
The Machine Shop is to be a
large structure, of two hundred
feet front on Fifth street, and
of a depth Of sixty feet. The
Company have ample ground
for present purposes, but we
hear rumors Of further extern
sion as far over as Second
Street. The blacksmith and
machine shops Of the M. &, c.
r. r. are Of valuable worth tc
our business community, the
number Of hands now employ
ed numbering over two hun.

temptation shall have beer
completed, the machinery a

moved hither and a mechanical
force Of several hundred more
will then be added to the city
population. .-[Chillicothe Ad

The people are moving de-

meetings are being held in
every direction and the re-
presentation in Congress in

meeting has been held headed
by the business men Of that
city, calling upon this Congress
to reduce the taxes. They de.
mand that fifty millions shall
be taken off at once.

Railroad Company.
Now that the question Of "a
railroad or no railroad" has
been decided the necessary
steps should be at once taken to

the Company, so as to be ready

That portion of the railroad be.
tween Columbus and Logan is
completed and in operation,
and but little work will be re-
quired to put that portion in
running order between Logan
ana McATInur CCatlon I (Dun-

performed is between Dundas,
(three miles south Of Near
