PRIMARY MEETINa.-We publish a
q large number of calls from the town.
ship Central Committee men for town.
ship primary meetings. Some of the
the Committee men have not yet pub
lished their calls, but we have no doubt
they will. If, however, there should
be any township in which no call is is
sued, the Republicans of that township
should not neglect to meet at their usual
place of holding elections on Saturday
July %, between the hours of three and
four o'clock in the afternoon, and there
select their delegates to county and dis
trict conventions, as recommended in
the call of the Executive Committee.
There has been much talk by certain
class about cliques controlling Conven-
tions, and in order to throw the whole
responsibility of nominations directly
upon the voters, this plan h3s been
adopted, and if the people neglect.to at
tend to the duty thus rightly imposed
upon them they will certainly have nc
right to complain ifthose who are forced
to take the responsibility of selecting
delegates and nominating candidates
shall select and nominate just such mel
as they prefer. We do hope, how
ever, that there will be o general inter
est taken in these primary meetings. ano
large turnout of voters at them.

| bELLAlRE, July lZln 1871.
Mr.J. w. HighIeyman has been ap,
pointed health officer for our town
and from the energetic beginning he has
made we may confidently expect tha
some ofthe nuisances about town will j.,
abated; the excessive heat of the past
! few weeks has rendered US sensible O
their whereabouts, and there is no work
more needed here than to cleanse the
streets and alleys and fill up and drain
noisOme pools that abound; and it gives
our citizens satisfaction to see an effort
in that direction.
| The Board of Education of the town
has advertised for proposals for a now
School house on a plan Commensurate
with the wants of the district. Mr.
Yost has the plar at the office of the
School Board in the public building. 1t
is q credit TO all conceyusd and if
faithfully carried out will be an nria-
ment to the town, besides "a ieneiit and
blessing TO our growing youth What
ever difference of opinion there may be
on the location or the size or number of
houses, all of our citizens are gratilied
that something's is being done, and from
present indications we viii not be
long without proper sclNol facilities.
Mr.. jacob HeatherilAton, Dr. NJ. w.
Junkins and Mr. Samuel McGecrge
started for Europe this evening. They
go first to Scotland, thence to other
points of interest. The best wishes OF
our citizens go with them for safe and
prosperous voyage and Il happy return.
Mr.. Eeathering;oI Is native of Eng
land, coming here at the age of sixteen
forty years ago. He has been Il citi-
zen OF our township nearly all that time;
Mr.. McGeorge is, believe, from Scot
land and he and Mr.. Heatherington re-
visit their old home for ''Auld lang
Isyne." DR.. Junkins goes out for his
health. They all purchased their tick
cts for passage from Hoge, Sheets & Co., e,
bankers of this place.
Quite storm of wind and rain passed
over us to-day, cooling the air to de-
1ightful temperature in comparison to
previous dates.
The river coptinues at good boating
stage, the packets plying regularly.
Our farmers are generally in the midst
of their harvest; the present wet spell
will check operations in that line; the
vield of what will ha about +ba r,euoI
average of good years. Other crops are
middling. Our vegetable market is well
supplied: Potatoes are selling for one
dollar per bushel; Tomatoes for six dol
lars per bushel; plentiful supply of
berries are coming in. Apples are con-
sidered failure.

Another Murder i'm Belmont
County.

On Wednesday July 7tfi, Elliot Barnes
living in York township in this county,
killed his brother, Leander Barnes, by
striking him on the head with a hoe,
and he is now in Jail awaiting his trial
for the murder. The prisoner is man
about 40 years of age, was sent to the
penitentiary in 1861 for burglary, and
during his term in the penitentiary his
wife took up with and became the wife
of his younger brother Leander. After
his release from prison he returned to
York township and the brothers lived
in the same neighborhood, both fire.
quently drinking to excess and when
under the influence of liquor they were
quarrelsome. On Tuesday evening they
were heard quarreling aud cursing, but
as it was of frequent occurrance but lit
tie notice was taken of it, Leander was
observed to be very drunk. On We'd
nesday morning they again met at the
house of Leander and the quarreling
commenced in the presence of the wife
and daughter of Leander-a little girl
about seven years of age. Elliot, having
a hoe in his hands struck Leander on
the head with it when the latter ran
around the house and his wife ran off to
a neighbor's. Elliot followed Leander
around the house and the little girl
saw him go up to him lat that time about
, ntx dc hkah in, hn
field, and after some further alteration
stroke him again Oh the head with a
hoe, knocking him down. Leander
raised up TO a setting position and the
little girl saw Elliot strike him the third
time with the hoe, again knocking him
down. This was about 9 o'clock on
Wednesday morning; things quieted
down and remained so until Thursday
evening when the non-appearance of
Leander created suspicion, and on ex-
animation he was found dead just where
the little girl saw him knocked down
by the third blow, and his head was cut
in three places. When found there was
a tin-cup and a tea-cup by his side. the
former cor tanning some coffee, and the
impression is that the lows did not
kill him Immediately, and that the
brother, relenting somewhat, or fearing
the penalty of the law, sought to save
the life of his victim. 1t seems very
strange that the present wife of the
deceased, the former wifeofthe murder
er, should seem SO Indifferent to the fate
of her husband as to make no inquiry
after his condition, when she knew that
he had been struck on the head with the
hoe, and that her little girl had seen,
and must have informed her of the two
subsequent attacks, at the time she, in
company of the murderer, went to the
house after the little girl, the next day
after the murder had been committed.
No word of complaint was made by
either of these parties until the non-ap-
pearance of Leander created suspicion,
and the neighbors began to investigate
the matter.
At the time the murdered man was
found his murderer acknowledged that
he had struck him the deadly blows,
but fer his areset he pleaded ignorance
Of the whole affair. 80

LONG WooLED SHEEP.-Mr. Josep

LONG WooLED SHEEP.-Mr. Joseph
H. Close, well known as dealer in
sheep, has formed a partnership with an
importing house in Canada, and he left
town on Tuesday for the purpose of COM
pleting the arrangements for importing
stock and supplying the Fall demand for
long wool and mutton sheep. There
seems to be an increasing demand for
these kind of sheep, and, because of the
large clip Of wool, the higher price paid
for it, and the superior demand for them
AZ mutton sheep, this demand is likely
to continue increasing until they are
pretty generally deceminated. Persons
desiring to purchase or obtain informa-
tion on this subject can do so by address
ing Mr.. Close at London, Province oi
Ontario, Canada West.

WIZ There be War in Europe !--Omeisi
Opinion at Washington.

WASHINGTON, July III.
Secretaries Boutwell, and Robeson and
General Sherman had consultations
with the President to-day. He con-
versed with all of them as the aspect OF
affairs in Europe, and was of the opin-
lou that warwas inevitable. General
Sherman is of the same opinion and
thinks it may lead to a general European
war. but sees no reason why this Govern
mert should be affected in any way.
Secretary Rooeson says that if they
fight we must keep them off our coast,
and perhaps out of this continent en-
tireiy. The Secretary of the Treasury
does not think there will be any very
pfotracted struggle, if any at all, on ac-
cCult of the poverty of all the nations
involved in the quarrel.
Vice Admiral Porter says that war is
certain; that France has been preparing
for it for year past; that she has the
best navy in the world; forty-eight thou
sand seamen, the best drilled and disci-
plined in the world; as many and as good
vessels as the English, Prussian and the
Spanish combined. He says that she
can blockade all the Prussian and Span
ish ports, take Havana and other Cuban
ports, and free the Cubans, and in three
months have them fighting on her side
In his opinion England will remain
neutral. That Napolean means war, has
got good excuse, and will not wait for
diplomacy.
There appears to be much interest felt
in the matter at the War, Navy and
Treasury Departments. Upon inquiry
at the State Department, nothing ha,i
been received from Paris, London or
Madrid on the subject, and some of the
officers of that grave establishment
seemed to be astonished that such Il
thing as war should be thought of.

the candidates who will be elected: Gen.
tlemen. if you are really in earnest in
your desires for reform and wish to see
none but moral and Temperance men Sc
lected for office, exercise your power by
attending these primary meetings IN

candidates of those classes. You will
have no difficulty in determining who
are the candidates you ought to vote for.
If you will only inquire of the friends
of intemperance and immortality you
will find them united in opposition to
certain candidates and in favor of others.
They never make mistakes. They know
their men, and no m after what the pro-

these elements centering their force for
him, you may rest assured that they un-
