Men who part their hair in the mid
die, not satisfied with the obvious fact
that this is the natural place of parting
it, urge that this fashion was adOped
by Bolingkroke, Hampden, Milton,
Prince Rupert, and other celebrities OF
modern times, and was universal in an
tiquity. Which is very true; and Mr..
Darwin tells us that the long-haired
monkeys invariably part their, hair in
the middle alsO-a fact obviously sug-
gested and significant. What a COM
fort to have "the oldest inhabitant" on
our side! ,.-.
In stating how Eve told Adam to

An exchange says: "At last we

cause of the drought You see, people
could not get any water to drink, and
drinking whisky a whole year will

1. A farmer brings between 800 and
800 eggs to market. If he sells them
by the dozen there will be one egg left,
but if he sells them by the score (2O'

many eggs did he brink to market?
q. To find two numbers, the differ
ence of which multiplied with the diff

a young man recently wrote to q
New York paper, asking whether it
would be advisable for him to marry q
l"'young and tender angel who had
never done her own washing or dress

him to do SO by all means, and men.
toned a similar case in his own exper.
ince, where the bride had never done
her own washing, but after marriage
she became so fond of the washtub as
not only to work for her own family
but for several families among her ac-
lquaintances.

For Governor of Ohio.

Eor.some time, past very general
sentiment has been manifested in this
State favorable to the. nomination OF
the Hon. B. IF. Wade, for Governor,
aiads everywhere the mention of his
name in this connection has been most
kindly received both in and out of the
State. 1t is to be observed, too, that
few, if any, of the many gentlemen
named in connection with the office
wbuid occupy the position of candidate
if Mr.. Wade,s name should be brought
forward. This feeling toward the old
hero, coupled with the general BELIEF
that he would be our strongest candi.
riate,' has led many people to urge him
lively declined, and has emphasized
would not accept if nominated. Those
however; who know the loyalty of Mr.
Wade to the Republican party have
felt that, while he would not in any
sense become candidate for Governor
or any other office, he would not go sc
far as to decline nomination if i
should be voluntarily rendered to him
and we now feel warranted in sayins
that if the Republican Convention, t.
/; assemble in June, should order Mr.
Wade into the field as their standart
bearer in the approaching campaign
he would obey, put on the harness ant
earnestly contend for the principles 81
dear to him and of paramount impor
tance to the nation.
Whatever is to be done toward tn
nomination of Mr.. Wade must, Q
course, be voluntarily done by the peo
pie. Mr.. Wade will do nothing b,
word or deed to bring it about. HI
would, we know, be pleased if the con
,yention should select some other man
but if therepresentatives of the Reput
liran party soon to assemble deem
g best to nominate him he will not de
cline.
To the Republicans of Ohio we there
fore refer this matter for consideration
in order that when the convention az
sembles its action may be the result c
mature deliberation. Gin. Gaz.

. May 3, 1871.
Mr.. EDIIoR II hope that you will
give these lines a place in your excel.
lent paper, as notice that you have
spoken of the Hon. 1. Welsh as Treas
urer of State. wish the attention of
the people to the necessity of putting
him in nomination for that office, for it
is certain that Mr.. Welsh is highly
qualified to fill that position. As far as
financiering is concerned he has no SUI
periOr in the State; and then he is a
temperate man in all his walks of life.
He does not indulge in intoxicating
drinks, which trait of his character is
sufficient proof of his suitableness for
the place. Then why should MT the
people of Ohio nominate and elect him
this fall to fill that important office, as
Mr.. Welsh Is an important man, and
his business talent should not be lost to
elected Treasurer of State.
For REPRESENTATIVE. =:
see the name of Mr.. E. Wilson, of
Washington Township, spoken of in
connection with that Office. Now LET
me-say that Mr.. Wilson is crippled
soldier and a thorough temperance
man as he very often lectures ON that
subject. That he has talent and capac-
tity to fill the Office there can be NO
doubt; therefore we should pres, his
nomination and election. ',.s
Then last, but not least, there is an
other important Office in Belmont Conn
ty to fill this fall, and we, as Republic
ans, should put in nomination man
equal to the emergency. think we
have just such man in the person of
Mr.. Peter Groves, of Washington
Township. The office that l have spo-
ken of is that of Auditor of Belmont
County; and what makes me think
that Mr.. Groves should be nominated
for Auditor is, that, Mr.. p. Groves is a
man of good morals, and fair business
talents, strictly temperate, and of good
report both in and out of the church
No one has said or can say one word
one word against him, only that he is
and has been a Republican from the
first until now, and if we place him in
the Auditors Office, (where he should
be) we need not fear that there will be
any discrepancies existing between his
yearly exhibit and his record of orders
drawn lie his own or any other PERSONS
favor. The honesty of his fair dealings
can't be doubted by any one that knows
him; so wish to see him nominated
and elected this fall. Then, brother
Republicans, when our County Conven
ton comes off, do not neglect the claim
of Mr.. Peter Groves. He is young
man of delicate constitution, and needi
the support of the people; and then he
can run the Office of Auditor from $50t
to 81 900 year cheaper than Mr.. Clark
has done it. . ....-.

WE presume that no address, since
Adam fir;t addressed Eve, ever receiv-
ed seyerer handling than has the late
Democratic effusion. Democratic jour-
mails publish it with kind of want-of-
appetite reluctance. Its general charges
against the Republican party would, il
sustained, reverse the history of oul
country for the last ten years. Nothing
more plainly vindicates the assertion
that the platform of the Democrat par
ty consists in being opposed to every
Republican measure and principle.

For one whose character is so vulner-
able as is that of the editor of the Ga
zete, it would appear policy, at least,
never to use the term SANDER. When
repeatedly charged with what we
should regard an indelible stain upon
our name, he passively bore the SLAM
derous (?) charge. How bold he grows
when talking of others. He reminds
