SnAMEFUL.-As the members of the
German Presbyterian Congregation en-
tered their house of worship last Sunday
morning, they found the floor and wall
of the outer hall and door leading to the
main body of the church, covered all
over with filth, and so offensive to smell
and sight, that it was necessary to sus
pend service until a partial cleansing had
been effected. If this outrage was the
work of one of mature years, it shows
him untitled for the society of decent pco-
pie, and he should be driven to the COM
partnership of unclean beasts Of whose
kind he is; and if, as is probable, it was
committed by mischievous boys, no Ian
guage is too severe to criticise the lack
of parental discipline which it exhibits
The trustees of the society desire it to be
understood that a repetition of the Of
Tense will be followed by prompt invcsti-
cation and severe punishment.

Cedar valley baptist Association.
The fifteenth Annual Meeting of this
association was held in the Baptist
church at Waverly, last week, commenc-
ing with Pastors conference on Thurs
day evening, and ending on the Sab
bath The Annual Sermon was preach
ed by Prof Thos Ure, of the Cedar Val
Eley Seminary, on Friday morning.
The attendance of pastors and dele
gates was larger than last year, and
much interest was manifested. The Off
GERS were Rev. Alva Bush, of Usage, Mod
Gator, and Rev. w. L. Hunter, of indie
pendence, clerk.
The original organization of this AS
sociation was at Waterloo in 1856, at
which time it comprised six churches,
with membership of $50. 1t now has
36 churches, and total membership of
1880. During the past year, two
churches have been added to the Asso-
citation; one at Parkersburg and another
located in the country nine miles south
west of Waterloo. The number added
to the church during the past year have
been, by baptism 1856, and by letter 1877.
The number of pastors in the Asssocia
ton is 90 The number does not cores
pond with that of the churches, but none
of the latter are unsupplied. Some of
the ministers supply two or more
churches. Four church buildings have
been erected during the year, and two or
three are in course of erection.
The Cedar Valley Seminary at Usage
is under the patronage of this Associa-
ton, and at it's meeting last week, the
latter body declared its sympathy and
confidence in the institution, and plcdg
ed to the Trustees its hearty corporation
in efforts to secure its endowment.

THE DEMOCRATIC NoMINATIoNs-Thc
Democratic county Convention which met
in this city on Saturday last, made the
following nominations:
Clerk, A. E. Barnhart; Recorder, Mrs
John Leslie; Supervisors, John Johnson,
of Jefferson, II. P. Henshaw, of Wash
ington, and H. F. Sill, of Fairbank.
So far rs we are acquainted with the
composition of this ticket, it is as good as
the party could have made, and in point
of capacity, is generally, and of character
entirely unexccptionable The candidate
for Clerk, is Bro Barnhart of the Conser-
oatire We have too much professional
pride to admit that an editor who per
forms his duties so well as does our neigh
DIOR, would not acquit himself equally well
in any office within the gift Of the county,
The candidates for Supervisors are capa-
bic men and worth. The candidate for
Recorder, Mrs. John Leslie, is an estima-
bic lady, of Republican sympathies, to
whom the nomination was rs unexpected
as any other event of unusual occurrence.
We believe she yet regards it in the light
of a joke. In nominating woman for
office, the Democrats of Buchanan are fol-
lowing the example Of humbug set them
by their Delaware county confercs. The
dodge is not original, and is contemplate
because insinccre. Not one democrat in
ten, is in favor of women holding office,
and this nominations, with others of the
sort are only examples Of the party pro
clivity to sacrifice principles to anticipat
ed or hoped for success. But it will not
be successful The Republican nominee
for Recorder will be elected with but lit
tie abatement of the average majority,
and no one will probably look with more
complacency on that result, than Mrs.
Leslie, herself
