THE DEMOCRATIC ENQUIRER.
End Of Volume Four.
Beginning of Volume Five

With the last weeks issue OF
the Democratic Enquirer clos
ed its fourth year; this week
we begin the fifth year How
well we have pleased our read,
ers, and met the expectation OF
our friends, it is not for US to
say, but we have done as well
as we could DO under the cir
cumstances. From the first
number we issued January %,
1867, we have found our sub
scription list increasing almost
weekly to the present date
We shall make some changes
in the paper, in the heading in
particular, in a short time, and
give it a much better appear
ance. We are making arrange
ments to add $500 worth OF
type and printing material to
the Office, and we wish every
Democrat and friend to the
cause of Democracy in Vinton
county to lend us favor and
encouragement in every way
that they can. We shall shortly
address many of our Demo-
cratic friends upon the subject,
as we wish to make immediate
preparations to enter the com
ing campaign with a fall de-
termination to make "Little
Vinton" do a good part in the
election Of a Governor and
other State officers next fall.
There is much hard work be-
fore the Democracy of Ohio
and we shall do our share.

The Parkersburg Bridge

A dispatch from Parkers-
burg, on Tuesday, the 10,th;s as
follows The new iron rail
road bridge over the Ohio Riv,
er at this place, connecting the
Baltimore and Ohio and Mari
eta and Cincinnati Railroads,
was completed Saturday last
and formally opened last even
ing by the passage Of the Gin
cinnati and Baltimore fast line,
bound East. Thousands of
people thronged the river bank
and greeted the train with
great enthusiasm.
This bridge is one of the fin
est structures in the country,
Its entire length is four thous,
and six hundred and twenty
feet. The river spans were
built by the keystone Bridge
Company, on the Louisville
plan. Two Of these spans are
three hundred and fifty feet
between piers and ninety'one
feet above low water.
The short spans are on the
Baltimore plan, and were built
by the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company at their
shops at Mount Clare. The
masonry and superstructure are
of most substantial character,
and the energy with which the
entire work has been carried on
to completion within so short a
period, reflects great credit on
the Company by which the
bridge has been hu 1t, and on
the efficient agents who have
been in charge of the work.
The first stone was laid in Ju-
ly, 1869, and the bridge com
pleted January Z, 1871. No
work Of this magnitude was
probably ever more quickly
executed in this country.

1t is a remarkable fact that
the Radical politicians appear
to be in favor Of filing up the
country with negroes, Chinese,
and with all the lowest and de.
based races and forms of civi.
lization, rather than make it
the abode Of the highest and
best types Of mankind. They
offer the greatest inducements
for the degraded to come and
drive out the enlightened by
rendering suffrage and political
and social equality.

National Bce-KeeperS'
Convention.

AT the annual meeting Of the
North Eastern Bee Keepers
Association held last Spring, at
Albany, N. Y, the President
and Secretary were appointed
to correspond with the officers
of other associations and emf
nent bee-keepers Of America,
and invite all to unite in call
ing an American Bee-Keepers'
Convention. 1t seems that the
majority favored Cincinnati ii
Ohio, because of its central To-
cality; and u call has been
made to meet in Convention at
at Cincinnati, on Wednesday
and Thursday, Feb. s and 9,
1871. We would suggest to
our friend, j. L. DILLON, and
to all other kee-keepers in
Vinton county, to hold a meet,
ing, as soon as possible before
the Sth of February, and or
ganize an Association, as there
is no organization among the
bee-keepers of this county, and
select delegates or send some
person to represent them in the
American Convention. They
can hold a meeting at this office
if they wish.

WE hear some complaint
that the accommodations for
travellers in waiting for trains
at Macarthur Station, (Dun-
das,) are not very good, in
consequence Of no depot being
there. The building used as a

worse. We hope the NJ. q G..
