THE HOME OF WAsnINGToN.-For nearly a
quarter of century past, Benson j. LOSING,
the artist-author OF "Field Book of the Revo-
luton" "History of the United States" etc.,
has been one of the most diligent and success
ful laborers in the rich field of American his
tory. During that time he has travelled more
than thirty thousand miles, extending to al
most every portion of the Union, in order to
procure sketches of various scenes and objects
OF historic interest; for it is his good fortune
to be equally happy in the use of both pen
and pencil.
Attractive and popular though all his works
have been, Mr.. Lossing's latest volume is just
ly considered the crowning success of his life.
Its title is as follows: "THE HOME OF WASH
INGTON; or Mount Vernon and its Associa-
tions, Historical, Biographical and Pictorial"
1t is q subscription book, being sold through
agents entirely. A copy now lies upon our
table, from that enterprising firm, E. Hanna
ford & Co., III West Fourth ST., Cincinnati.
No more beautiful book has gladdened our
eyes for many months, than this shapely quar-
to, printed on superfne and elegantly tinted
paper, and gotten up in the highest style of
| the topographic art. A steel-plate portrait
from the celebrated painting of Gilbert Stuart,
and an engraving of Mount Vernon, also on
STEEL embellish the front of the book, while
the text of the work is illustrated with no less
than one hundred and forty eight of Lossing's
charming pictures, fac similes of interesting
MSS, etc. The binding is both elegant and
| substantial
"The Home of Washington is undoubtedly
the most complete, satisfactory and delightful
record ever prepared of the domestic and pri-
vate life of "The Father of his Country" Ev-
cry American is, of course, familiar with the
General, the Statesman and the President, but
| this work reveals to us the Man, in all the dig
nifty and beauty of his personal character 1t
also furnishes great amount of fresh and in
| tercsting matter, not attainable from any 9TH
er source, and is the only work extant describ-
ing fully the condition, past and present, of
Mount Vernon. Many of the illustrations de
scribe articles of which the originals are now
| lost TO the world forever-swept ruthlessly
away by the storms Of civil war.
The publishers announce large and rapid
Embarrassing circulation of this delightful vol
ume. We are not surprised at this. Its ma
tional character, the reputation of its artist
author, and its low price, together with its un-
excelled beauty of mechanical execution and
its perfect wealth of illustrations, are all cal
culated to make it one of the most popular
and rapidly selling books of the age. We
| commend this "household treasure" to the at
tention of our readers, whether book agents OF
book BUYERS. E. Hannaford & Co., the Gin
cinnat publishers, are a firm who publish on
ly first class works, and equip their agents in
the very best style.

1873 l. o. @. r. Of Ohio, the following rcsolu-
tions were discussed and unanimously adopt
ed; and the Secretary was instructed 10 fur
nish copy for publication 10 each Of the
County papers, to wit:
WHEREAS, The traffic in intoxicating drinks
Is destroying the health and morals of large
numbers Of our fellow citizens, and rendering
property and even life insecure by keeping up
an army of not less than 100000 drunkards,
who prey upon the rights OF others. and
WHEREAS, II IS political evil of enormous
magnitude, therefore
ResoIUed, That the time has fully come when
all true friends of temperance should unite to
unfurl the banner Of prohibition.
ResolDed That as we carry our principles 10
the closet, we will not desert them at the bal
lot box.
Resolced, That in the present political organ
zauon we see little hope for the cause Of
Temperance, and therefore
RAsoIred, That we hail with delight the for.

late residence Of ). B. WATRoUs, decd, on
the Austinburg road, and some two miles from
the village, has recently been sold to our
townsmen, ]. A. SHoEcRAFT and JAMES +.
CULVER. The purchase embraces tract OF
ten acres, at a cost of $1,000. The existence
of the spring, and its sulphurous impregna-
ton, has been long known, but without noto-
riety and public endorsement, of course but
little thought Of aud though occasionally Wis
tied, and it's waters used by invalids, faith has
been weak and wavering in their medicinal
virtues. Some of the waters, we hear, are in
the process of analyzing, and there Is no rea-
son to doubt they will prove of as much
worth as many of the noted and popular
springs of the country. The design of the
purchasers, is, we believe, to bring the spring
into notice, and thoroughly lest its virtues, and
to build up accommodations and such sur.
roundings as will make 1t a resort for ingalids
from other regions, and give this locality q
name and position equal to that of the White

STEEL RAn-The question as to the cheap
ness of steel as compared with iron is one that
has for years occupied the attention of Rail
Road Companies. The Lake Shore s. Michi-
gan Southern have been experimenting by re-
placing the old iron rail with steel, and noting
the wearing capacity. Recently about one
mile of continuous steel rail has been laid on
the main line This will be good opportunity
to ascertain by thorough practical test the
advantages, if any, that steel has over iron in
the manufacture of rails for the use of rail
roads.

General Garfield.

The ST. Paul Daily Dispatch, of June 2sth,
has the following:
For gentleman of his age, no man in the
country enjoys happier national reputation
than Gen. James A. Garfield of Ohio. Born
near Cleveland, in 1881, he was first introduc-
ed to public life by being chosen, in 1850, to
the State Senate from the Portage Summit dis
trict. Passing through brilliant career in
the army, and taking rank as Major General,
he was elected to the 3Sth Congress while still
in the field, and has been successfully elected
to the 39th. 10th and 41st Congresses, and is a
candidate foT the 42nd Congress. [The nomi-
mating convention in his district Doth Ohio
have renominatcd him by acclamation for his
fifth term. This announcement will send a
thrill of pleasure TO the heart of every man
who would see the purest type of American
manhood representing constituency in Con-
gress, and is pleased to find in the Representa-
tive those generous and liberal sentiments, and
that fearless honesty, which is quite as rare as
| it is grand and useful. Gen. Garfeld's usual
majority is II 900.

The New York Tribune notices the renomi-
nation of Gen. Garfield as follows;
General James A. Garfield has received the
unanimous denomination of his Republican
constituents of the XIXth district of Ohio for
fifth term, as member of the House of Rep
resentatiyes. The country will approve the
choice of General Garfield's constituents He
is one of the few men whose services cannot
be spared from the National Legislature. He
is strong, vigorous thinker, a most careful
student, conscientious in forming his opinions,
and courageous almost to recklessness in their
expression. He is not so sound on tine tariff
as we could wish but he is very far, and we
trust, after some wholesome interviews with
his constituents. he may yet be farther, from
being Free-Trader. He will be reelected
by majority somewhere between ten and
twelve thOusand-enough for all practical
purposes, and sure to prevent any contest for
his seat.

BY NO MEANS MAGNANIMoUs.-Genev ac-
cording to our cotemporary, the Times, has
been indulging of late in all the distinction
and importance of a tidal wave, without al
lowing adjoining shore towns to participate
by sharing in the dignity, or even TO enjoy a
sight of the phenomena. This we think is
not quite neighborly. Neighbor SPENCER
ought, at least to haye invited his brethren of
the quill. When anything of first class i'm
portance occurs at Jefferson, or within Bro.
HowELL's beat, we have usually had notice
and the courtesy of an invitation to be present
extended to us. The waters of Lake Erie
forming a wave ~ feet in height after the
fashion of those of tue Red Sea, and rushing
upon terra frma with all their majesty and ir-
resistabe force, was by no means trihing af-
fair, and justice should have been done to il
by the whole talent of the county press. Oc-
curing, too at night, in stealthy stiffness
when its advent should have been in the broad
light of meridian day, and heralded by -four
ish of tTumpets, is not quite worthy of the
admitted generosity and magnanimlty of q
friend and cotem porary.
