high price for clover seed, Mr.. P. accepted,

Mr.. Patton concluded to telegraph to the
smoky city, and in response was informed
that the check was a forgery. OF couzoe

Home Protection.

A good number of farmers of Osnaburgh
and Nimishillen townships have organized
a mutual insurance company for their own
safety and protective remuneration against
fire. Whenever a loss by fire occurs an
assessment is to be made Immediately TO
remunerate the losses. The organization
will be complete whenever the amount
insured reaches $4,000; and if, at any
time the amount insured falls below that
sum the organization shall A sim
liar association has existedf for many years
in Plain township in this county, and has
worked cheaply and highly satisfactory.
This is much better than paying tribute
to yankee insurance swindling arrange
ments located on the Reserve, or else
where. Home protection of this kind is
much to be preferred.

HAIR VIaoR.-In common with many
Others we have felt a lively interest in the
Investigations which DIR. Aver has been

ever made before. The result is now be-

A Change OF Name.

After reflection and maturely weighing
the matter, we have determined to change
the name of our paper from "DEMocAT"
to that of Local, believing that it will meet
the appreciation, and be acceptable to our
readers generally, asst smore expressive of
its mission than the former. The party has
IN Organ at the county seat bearing the
name DEMoCRATlwhich is, perhaps, all
that might be desirable to our party friends;
while two papers bearing the same name, in
n county, certainly is not preferable.
So we hope u newly adopted name will
be acceptable to all.
Hereafter our paper will be published
on Saturday.-AHiGnce Democrat.

For the Democrat.
Discussion at mcDOnaIdsvIIIe.

O1seusSlOn al
Mr.. EDITOR The following question
was discussed on the evening of the 9th
ult. by the Union Literary Society of
Jackson township. ResOlued, That the
General Assembly of Ohio was not justi-
fable in ratifying the XIV Amendment to
the Constitution of the United States.
The affirmative was ably maintained by
John Hammer and Frank Braucher and
the negative by G. W. Unger, and VIM.
Hoover of New Berlin in place of NJ.
Palmer who did not put in an appearance.
The attendance was large, composed in
part of the solid farmers of the neighbor-
hood, and of the young folks of both sexes.
The affirmative referred to the distinctions
of race so manifest to all-distinctions
created by God, which no human legisla-
ton could obliterate or remove. To talk
then about race equality was preposterOus,
monstrous. They also showed how deci-
dedly the people of Ohio and other
States had condemned the doctrine of race
equality and demonstrated the Infamous
tyranny OF Jne party LEADERS IN power IN
overriding the expressed will of the peo-
pie.
The gentlemen in the negative main
tanned their side as well as they could, but
would not admit the doctrine of equality
in its purity. They refused to endorse
miscegnation and a general eommingling
of the races in schools, &c. They might
have gone a little farther if they had been
married men. The fact is the whole ne
gro bushes of the party, DISTINGUISHING
white men and putting negroes into the
halls of Congress and Legislatures at the
point of the bayonet, &c, is all rather
hard for decent republican people to swal-
low. But the radical element has been
ruling them and forcing down dose after
dose of their abominable negro despotism.
