EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING
At meeting of the Republican Execu.
tive Committee, of Belmont county,
held at st. Clairsville, on Saturday,
July2, George S. Latham was appoint
ed Central Committeeman of Flushing
Township, vice David A. Hollingsworth
removed to Harrison county. The
Committee decided after due delibera-
tion that they had no power to change
the basis. of representation as fixed by
the District Committee for the Congress
sional Convention. The call for the
election of delegates to such convention
is therefore changed, the Committee
having .apportioned the delegates &C
cording to the rule adopted by the Con-
gressional Committee.

mansion houses, all in the place of an
unbroken forest. Upon this spot thous-
ands ofchildren are making merry where
once was only heard the warwhoop-The
song of praise and thanksgiving for
liberty enjoyed in place of the yrany OF
barbarism.
The Catholic Benevolent association
also held a pic mic in a grove on the
land of Mr.. Kelly, back OF the river
hill. They formed in procession and
marched to the grove preceded by
Heatheringtons' Band. They made a
fine appearance and our citizens were
much impressed with the number and
the sterling character of the member s.
After spending the day at the grove in
the usual pleasant manner, they return
ed as they went in procession and broke
ranks in the street in front of their
lodge-room. The object and aim of this
society is praisworthy and creditable TO
all concerned, and will do world of
good here The more we have of such
societies in our midst the better.
The lovers of the Torpsichorian art
the tripper on the light fantastic toe,
had their several places TO be gratified
in their taste, and altogether we had an
oid-fashioned Fourth of July, not even
excepting few bloody noses and drunk
en- rows. The authorities failed to shut
up the saloons and hence this latter ap-
pendage to our festivities. A fine dis
play of fire works in the evening closed
the day and young America retired duly
impressed with the idea that patriotism
"is one of the virtues"
On Wednesday evening last Mr..
Thornton A. Horn died from the effects
of injuries received, as stated in nv
former communication. He was buried
on Friday evening at five o'clock in the
City Cemetery, with Masonic rites, q
large number of the brethren being in
attendance. His death has cause pro-
found sensation in our community and
a general d esire that his murderer shall
be brought to justice.
The fine rains we have. had here
caused the river 10 swell to boatable
proportions again and business on the
river is lively. The piers of the Rail-
road bridge on the river are progress
ing toward completion.
The general usiness of our place is
good. New buildings are going up in
all parts of the town, and we are hope.
ful of continued prosperity.

The heat of the past week has been
unparalleled for the month Of June, the
mercury rising to 9sc. in the shade.
Tuesday and Wednesday of last week
were particularly oppressive. would
suppose that it would be q favorable
time for DIR. Hays or Hall to press their
scheme for an expedition to the North
Pole on Congress, as recruits could easily
be procured and the very idea is at this
time plea SAINT and agreeable; but the
rains of Friday and Saturday have cooled
the air to more comfortable conditions.
Yesterday was pleasant and enjoyable
giving opportunity to the patriotic to
display their love Of country by every
variety of demonstration that their sever
al fancies might dictate. The several
Sunday school of the place organized
a pic mic to be held in the grove at the
mouth ofBrooks'run II miles from town.
A procession was formed about nine in
the morning and the children marched
out preceded by the Rockhill Band. A
large umber were in attendance, good
cheer and good humor abounded and
good order prevailed and all things pass
ed off pleasantly and agreeably. The
Declaration was read by Mr.. Parkin-
son, the principal Of our public schools,
after which someeloquent remarks were
made to the children by Messrs. CASTOR.
and Msnsell. Nothing occurred to mar
the enjoyment of the occasion and a
happy return of many such days is spe-
cially and earnestly desired. This.pic nci
was held near where there was an old
Indian clearing, the only one in this
section of the country; it was used as q
corn and squash patch by the Indians
on the first settlement of the county

THE GENIN STAF6E.-On Wednes-
dav evening Of last week the work OF
putting up the beautiful statue of Thom-
as II. Genin, Esq. erected to his memory
by his executor and heir, John N.
Geniu of New York. was completed,
and the ceremony of unvailing it per-
formed by the members Of the Bar.
This is, so far as we know, the only
monument of the kind in Southeastern
Ohio. The statue. which is very fine
likeness Of the deceased, was made in
Florance Italy, is six feet six inches in
height aud well porportioned. 1t rests
upon q pedestal six feet in heghth,
made at Qincy. Massachusetts,, OF
native granite. Upon the base of this
pedistal is engraven in large raised
and polished letters the name Of deceas-
ed-"GENIN." On the tablet is inscrib-
ed, in gilt letters:

AGED Y YEARS.
VIC kucW uiiu as tlpc cCuoiiait -
profound lawyer, wise consellor, and
an able advocate"
Mr.. Join n. Genin, has manifested
more feeling and interest as q BENEFICIARY,
for the name and fame of his patron,
than is usually manifested by remote
relations for the memory ofdead friends.
In addition to this magnificent monu.
ment he has, at a large expense, had
published a work of over six hundred
octave pages, containg the more inter-
esting of Mr.. Genin's writings, as well
as suscinct biographical sketch Of the
deceased.
The whole work, executed in the
higest style of the art, presents an i'm
posing appearance, and has attracted
a great deal of attention since it was
erected.

From the Wheeling Lnteligencer oi
Monday, we learn that on Friday even.
ing last, there was a heavy rain at Steu'
benville which lasted only an hour, but
in that time it flooded the city, filling
cellars, aud in some places almost COM
pelling families to leave their houses.
One boy named Andrew Anderson,
while driving q COW through hollow
in the supurbs, attempted to cross
stream, and was swept off his feet and
carried with the stream about one mile
to the river, where his body was swept
upon sand bar terribly cut and bruised.
Another boy is reported as being drown
ed. A colored man, while driving two
horses across bridge opposite the city,
in Virginia, during the storm, the bridge
gave way to the pressure of water while
the horses were OIL it, and the horses
were drowned and the man narrowly
escaped.

THE GREAT SHow-On Tuesday our
town was visited 10y Van Amburgh's q
great golden menagerie, and in its out
3; side demonstration, its inside manage
ment, as well as in its extensive col
lection of rare and interesting animals,
it is truly the great show of the day.
1t frequently happens that advertising
by pretensious posters is resorted to by
showmen to mis,ead and deceive the
public, but we believe the management
of this establishment, Notwithstanding
the extensive resort to printers ink and
theprinters art which fills every vacant
place with the posters of this show, the
'fbills," have been better filled than by
any show that has ever visited our coun-
ty. The "grand entree," headed by the
golden band chariot and golden car, on
the summit of which is the unclaimed
lion, and a procession filled up with
magnifcently decorated cages, elephants,
camels, horses, ponies &C., is the finest
display of its kind we ever witnessed.
The arrangement of animals, and we
will not pretend to describe them-the
Immense pavilion, the exquisite order,
the instructive lecture descriptive of the
animals, the wonderful performances OF
trained dogs, trick ponies, learned mules,
and educated elephant, all display such
remarkable taste and good judgement,
tha. the audience cannot but admire the
great combination as one of the most
instructive, pleasant and profitable en-.
tertainments that ever passed through
the country. The projectors and man.
ayers Of Van Amburgh's great golden
menagerie deserve the great success
they are everywhere meeting with.
