Random Thoughts.
BY THE EDITOR.


On last Saturday morning, in compa-
ny with A. w. Long, George Copeland
and Adam Blair, went to the Pine
School House, in Liberty township, to
a Sabbath School celebration. 1t had
rained the night before, and the morn
ing was cloudy, cool, aud delightful
There were seats, speakers stand,
table, and two swings provided. The
smell of new lumber, out ofwhich these
were, made, saited me far better than
the smell of the everlasting tobacco
smoke oftown. A person who has been
accustomed to working among timber
can, by the smell, distinguish the DIFF
ferent kinds of wood, especially walnut,
oak, poplar, chestnut, pine and maple.
The grounds were the same where
the celebration was held last summer.
1t is beautiful grove. Before the
procession arrived | strolled through
the woods short distance east Of the
speakers stand, when | heard the gen
tie murmur of a small waterfall. Going
in the direction ofthe sound, l found
the water coming down over two or
three ledges of rock, the distance in all
being forty or fifty feet. Large cedar
trees grow from the bottom Of the
chasm, and the rocks on each side were
so close to each other that the limbs of
the same tree would almost touch the
rocks on both sides. 1t was most ro-
mantle place~so cool and delightful.
Coming back, l found the Sabbath
School children just arriving. Then A.
w. Long made an introductory speech
Of twenty FIVE minutes in length. Then
dinner If my good friend of the Co.
lumbus Journal could only have been
there, and got some OF that chicken.
And some Of that peach pie. And some
of that apple pie, And the cake And
the many other good things. If he
had been there, he would never again
even attempt to make light ofa dinner
in the woods. And to see my friend
Long enjoying 1t. For a small man,
he surely did justice to that dinner
After dinner we had a Welsh song,
and then l made them a little speech,
the chief merit of which was its brevity
One part of it pleased the children.
That was when quit. Then Mr..
Copeland made very sensible speech,
and for youGg man, acquitted himself
very Creditably. A. W. Long made
the closing address, very good effort.
Mr., Long is earnestly engaged in the
Sabbath School work
After the Speaking we all enjoyed
ourselves by swinging, talking, playing,
&c, for an hour or two. All seemed
to be happy.
While the people OF Liberty town
ship all appear to take great interest
in the Sabbath School work, ! must
particularly mention johnson White,
Ferdinand Rose, r. J. Simpson, Johu
Stcvison, Mr. Yerian, and last, though
not by any means the least, John Hum
phreys.
Liberty is coming in on next We'd
nesday in full force.

Excuses.

We learn that one or two Sabbath
Schools will not be here at the celebra-
ton, because the parents think they
caunot have their children dressed fine
enough. We exceedingly regret to
hear such excuses. They are most friv-
olous. All can have their children with
clean clothes, and clean faces, Never
mind tho plainness or cheapness of the
clothing, Many abarefootedbOy has re-
ceived valuable instruction at the Sab
bath School. Some such may have
been as good as the finely dressed boy
of present day, Away with such
foolish excuses. Bring in your little
ones. You will never regret it,

Nos Surrender.

We understand the DUNCAN Ring
claim that DR., /. 7, Monahan has sur
rendered, and will support the nephew
for Prosecuting Attorney. This is a
mistake. The DR. will make no active
opposition, but will be merciful, provi-
ded the Ring will foot the expenses, and
pay up former liquor bills which they
owe him. Ifthey fail to comply with
these conditions, they may hear from
him before the campaign is over

DAm0cratic COnYentl0n.

We were absent on last Saturday,
and Of course did not attend the Dem
ocratic convention, We learn that
Vinton Powers was nominated as can
didats for Commissioner, George w.
johnson for Sheriff, 7. M. Jacobs for
Recorder, Irvine DUNCAN for Prosecu-
ting Attorney, and David II. Varian
for Coroner. We reserve what we
have TO say about these candidates un-

We hear Of some parents who think
they cannot afford to spend dollar or
two to bring their children to the great
Sabbath School celebration next week.
But we never hear parents complain
when they bring their children to cir

moment, and then let Us her no more
of that style of complaint.

Democratic papers are a good dea
worried over the war in Europe. The
Democrats are in favor of French, al
against the Germans, but they do not
like to lose the large German Demo
cratic vote. The fall ofNapoleon, and
the great victory of Prussia is q thorn
in their side, but they are afraid to say
much. Some of these papers are in
Sinuating that in the last session oI
Congress a new naturalization bill was
introduced, which renders it almost inn
impossible for foreigners to become
naturalized, This isutterly untrue. The
new bill only requires three years res
idence in this country to become a Cit
izen, instead of FIVE years, as the law
now stands.
Our foreign born citizens, especially
the Germans, will remember the course
taken by the Democracy at this time,
and they will not forget that this party
is running for Congress such notorioul
knownothings as Van Trump and Lew
Campbell.

Testimonial from
A. J. DEVER, Jackson, O.

DIR. LIGHTHILI-DEAR SIR:-I take great
pleasure in informing you and the public that
since placed myself under your treatment l
feel like new man. For years past, 1 had SAT-
fered beyond description with an aggravated
and alarming bronchitis. / consulted with and
took treatment Of the best physicians could
find, but all to no purpose can not describe
my anxiety when found that my disease was
fast destroying me, and became satisfied in my
own mind that my future in this world was
very brief Hoping to benefit my condition /
Travelled, but this effort was also in vain; got
no better During my brief travel, placed my
self in eminent hands, but my distressing condi-'
tion remained unimprOved 1 received no benz
At whatsoever. l now became discouraged boz
yond measure.
In April last, my warm and personal friend,
Judge johnson, advised me to visit Dr. Lighthill,
at Cincinnati, whom he had heard spoken of In
the most exalted terms, and desired me to give
him trial. My life seemed to hang upon a
thread l took the Judges advice, and on the
10th day Of April last, in company with Judge
Johnson, called upon Dr. Lighthill, at the Bur-
net Hotise and placed myself under his treat
ment, FROM the first hour 1 felt tho dawn sf
new hopes, and almost from the very day he
gave ME treatment, remarkable change began
for the better, and now can breathe perfectly
easy and free, my cough has ceased entirely, my
appetite Is excellent, and can now lie down
and sleep as sweetly as q babe In short, fseE
about as well as ever did in my life.
Though this is a long letter, make this state
mett extended purely for the benefit OF those so
unfortunate as to suffer as have suffered. /
also regard 1t as an act of justice to Dr. Lghthill

Double Meaning.

The English language is peculiarly
abundant in words and phrases which
are capable of two meanings, AID which
thus give rise to an endless number of
mistakes, catches and puzzles, which
afford great deal of the amusement of
every day life. a familiar example is
the word got, which may mean eithef
was or procured. Thus one boy says TO
another with grave face, "Fred got shot
to-day" "Where?n asks the other, in
alarm. "He got shot in a hardware
store" is the answer, meaning, of course,
that he bought it.
A man assured a astcrekeeper, who hesi-
tated to trust his companion for pur-
chase, "If he refused to ray for it,
will" His companion refused to pay
for it, and so did the speaker, as in one
sense he had said he would. 1t is thus
very easy, by using uncertain language,
to convey false impression.
A sheriff asked the wife of Quaker,
against whom he had a writ, if her hus-
band was at home. She reulied, "Yes.
he will see thee in a moment" The
Sheriff waited, but the Quaker did not
appear. He was contented with seeing
the Sheriff, he did not care that the
Sheriff should see him.
The position of DIS in sentence,
and the use of stops, often entirely alter
the meaning. Thus an account of a
funeral declares, 1.-The remains were
committed to that bourne from which
no traveller returns attended by his
friends"
Ignorant people are apt 10 use phrases
with double meanings, with ,ut intend
ing to do so. Among the adv .rtisements
we may sometimes read this a respect

per how, during the celebrs ton, a child

which never spoke afterward.
Many poi ular puzzles depend upon
the ambiguity or double meaning of
words and phrases. Thus we ale told.
there was a man who had six children.
and had never seen one of them. We
are led to suppose that none of the chill
dren had ever been beheld by their pay

consequently, never seen that one
