STREET PREACHING.-"Re j. ID.
Hopkins, known all over Indiana and
i'm other Western States as "the crazy
preacher" was here last Monday, and
preached in the open air at the south
east corner Of the Square. Mr. Jen-
kins, Mr.. Hanks, Mr.. Wright and
others Of our citizens knew him in
Indiana years ago. Mr.. Hopkins is
now about 81 years old and has been
at least partially insane for over 80
years. He foots it all over the country
at will preaching his quaint discourses
whenever and wherever the idea sei2es
him, whether there's anybody to hear
him or not. He is perfectly harmless,
and has never been public charge.
At least one report as to the cause OF
his insanity is, that it was the result
Of domestic trouble. Sometimes, du-
ring his cratic career, he has made
appointments to preach at q certain
place one year, two, three, and even
ten years afterward; and we are told
that he never failed to meet them
promptly. AT one time, says Mr..
jenkins, he was really eloquent, and
of more than ordinary ability; and
some who heard him here on Monday
say that his ideas were at times excel
lent and his illustrations fine. Whence
he comes and where he goes are al
ways very uncertain particulars. This
time he entered town On foot, from
the west. We understand that he has
a son In Decatur County, who is un-
able to restrain him from these restless
wanderiDgs. May the poor old man
find peace and rest at last!

PROVED RECIPES. Who of US, in
reading, has not come upon some APP
parently good Recipe for something
useful, and said to himself, "Therc.
if that's only so, it's just what |
wanton Many good column could
we fill with Recipes gathered from
the papers; but alas! who knows
whether they are worth anything OF
not until he tries them? Yet often q
little Recipe, found in time, will save
much money and trouble, and some
times even life itself.
Now, if cur readers would, they
could do themselves and us good
turn, in this way:-If you know or
have some good Recipe, not generally
known, and which you have person
ally tried and found valuable, send it
to your County paper for publication.
A Recipe which you should thus fur
nish might be worth a good deal to
some other readers; and they in turn
might furnish others which would be
equally valuable to you. Isn't it
worth trying?

tai Railway,


1t appears to US that, the people Of
Holmes County, and particularly ~ot
Millersburg, are not alive to their own
interests in this railroad matter. Now
we do not propose to say much on the
subject in this issue, but in our next, we
propose giving some figures showing
the benefit this road will be to the
county should it be built through it.
1t will largely increase the value of
property in this County. 1t will bring
into the County nearly half a million of
foreign capital to bear its share of taxes.
1t will cause large additions to our pop
ulation from other counties and States.
And above all, it will give US rates of
transportation for the products of the
County, which will be reasonable and
just.
The money subscribed will not be
donated by any means, but only loaned
in safe investment at good interest, be-
sides being expended in our own County,
thus affortling employment to large
number of laborers, and good market
for the products of the County. But
more than this. No sooner would the
road be commenced and built, than
would be found men of capital coming
in here to develop the rich minerals in
which our County abounds, and follow
ing wonld be some large manufacturing
establishments, that otherwise could not
be secured. We are glad to learn how
ever, that an effort is about to be made
to secure the desired stock. We leave
the subject here for our next issue, by
asking perusal of the article headed

also to many good Democrats, for the
kindness they have shown us, and the
interest they have taken in soliciting
subscriptions, assisting us in fitting up

worked hard, giving time and attention,
which of course is worth money to
them. To their efforts we are indebted

with which we begin. To all such we
would extend our hearty thanks, and
hope that we may have, at all times, as
we know we shall have, their hearty CO.

workers, and we trust they will con-
tinue such, as they have shown them
selves to be during the last few months.

OUR IIcKEI.s

! The ticket nominated by the Re
publicans in convention at Colum-
bus, "Wednesday August 10th, is
decidedly the best that could have
been made. The Cincinnati Gazette
thus speaks of it:
There is every reason to be pleased
with the choice of candidates. The
nominstion Of General Sherwood
was on all sides expected, and that
the nomination was made by accla-
nation was a no less deserved than
graceful compliment. General Sher-
wood has proved himself an efficient
Secretary of the State, and re-elec-
tiOn is as much deserved as renOmi-
nation. Mr.. McIlvaine, of Tus-
carawas county, who was nominated
to fill the place on the Supreme
Bench, 1eft vacant by the resigna-
ton of Judge BrinkerhOtf, is new
man, but he is represented as care
full, aeeurate, atiiligent and accom-
plished lawyer. Those who know
him best are freest to assert that he
win discharge the duties of 4
Supreme Judge not only with honor
to himself but with credit to the
party. General W.T.. Wilson. Of
Portage county, who was nominated
for Comptroller of the Treasury
served with distinguished honor
during the war. For a year he W as
animate of Libby prison His ser
vices were generally recognized, fol
he was nominated on the first ballot
and in his nomination there was :
cordial and hearty yaequieseence, -
Philip V. Herzig, at present
member of the Board of Public
Works, was nominated for reelec,
ton. The nomination he has fairly
won by the able and satisfactory
mannerin which he has discharged
his duties during the term now ex
piring.
