Our neighbor, over the way, need
not fear that we are going to move
GAINESVILLE off, this week. Years and
months are small items in the age
of States and cities, though they tell,
in the end, with unerring certainty.
We assure our neighbors that they
shall have due notice and ample time
to pack before the end cometh. But
as the removal will be by piece-meal,
n little vigilance will give them
warning enough, and as we propose
to wait for the completion Of the
Shawneetown road, there is no occas.
ion for immediate alarm.

A" WILD" STORY.


A Washington special to the New
York World tells the following char
acteristic story:
Letters from England put the
extraordinary question seriously,
whether n marriage between Presi
dent Grants son and the Princess
Beatrice, of England, might be ar
ranged SO as To secure the cordiality
of the two countries. The'Queen or
iginated the proposition. The Princess
Is fourteen years of age, and the
Queens idea Is that the nuptials
should take place on the reelection
OF Grant In 1872. Young Grant
would then he adopted las British
subject, and Immediately appointed
Niceroy of Canada. The letters
which communicate this enterprising
proposition Were written by persons
Of the highest position in Great Brit
ain, One asserts that the idea origi,
mated with Mr.. Seward, who sug-
gested IL to the Earl of Mayo, who
mentioned IL to the Queen, who cor,
daily approved

WE clip telegram announce
ment that matrimonial alliance is
In contemplation, between Cadet
Grant and Princess Beatrice, of Eng
land. No doubt, Lysses has reached
that point In his progress towards alb
solute power, when it may be desira-
BILE to look out for strengthening ALI
ances with heads already crowned.
But what will his hopeful son dc
when his genealogical tree is demand
ed for inspection? His eschucheon
will be found too much disfigured
with Dents TO pass muster ut the
British Court. The plain truth of il
all is, that somebody is trying to
make derned phools Of father and son,
but nature anticipated the wag and
his labor is lost. Should the British
Lion give one growl OF dissent, from
the humiliating proposition, old and
young Grant would fancy themselve,
back in the lanyard listening to the
familiar growf Of the bulldog that
whilom guarded the rawliides and
leather.

The public was not ! little shock ID,
last week, at the tragic death Of Hon.
c. L. Vallandingham. The fatal
shot was fred BY himself whilst dem
onstrnting how murderer might
have shot himself. 1t is not, howev-
er, to give details that we allude to
this subject, but to express our regret
that man Of great ability, Of un-
flinching firmness in defense of con-
stitutional liberty, has quit the scene
Of action at time when his services
are SO mitch needed for the restoration
Of the Republic and the overthrow of
the loathsome despotism under which
ne, in common with millions, had
been FESTIVE and indignant sufferer.
A prison, followed by exile, was the
reward Of his manly defense Of the
fundamental principles Of liberty
His crime was the advocacy of polit-
ical Justice and truth, his judge and
jury the military usurpers Of unau-
thorized power, whose will was the
only law Of the land, and whose vic
tins were those who, by their high
integrity, were standing reproacli
to their dastardly prosecutors.
ValIandigbam has suffered and
passed away, but his protests against
tyranny remain, and we indulge the
hope that the memory Of the dead
lion will be mightier, for good, than
the brayings OF the living asses, who
hunted him in congenial herds.

WE are occasionally reminded that
we ought to be patient under our po'
litical troubles--that we ought to i'm
itate Job. We admit that Job twas
some" under biles and "sich" but we
have no record that he was ever ours

appears, there can be no parallel in
the two cases. Patience sometimes
invites the evils it proposes to RENE
dy-especially is this true when we
owe our sufferings to those devoid OF
magnanimity and justice, and who
mistake patience for tame submiss
ion, or an endorsement Of the wrongs
they perpetrate.

We have long believed that fair

the question presents itself-how

WEcxtract the following byograph-
ical sketch of Hon. G. l.. Vallandig-
ham, from the Cincinnati Enquirer:
Mr.. Vallandigham's career is well
known to the public. He was born
in 1872, in New Lisbon, Columbiana
county, and was of Huguenot descent.
His father was u Presbyterian clergy
man. He was educated at Jefferson
College, and nfterward taught All
academy at Snow Hill, Maryland.
In 1910 lie studied law, and was adj
mitted to the bar in 1872. In 1915 and
'48 lie was q member of the Ohio
Legislature. He edited the Dayton
Empire from 1916 to lS40. In 1852 he
was u candidate for Congress In the
Montgomery District, but was beaten
by Hon. L.. ID. Campbell. In 1854
he was again defeated by that gentle
man. 1856 he was elected, tile vote
being very close and the seat contest
ed. Campbell obtained the ceftiti-
cate, but Mr.. Vallandigham. BUSTED
him in the House. In 1858 Mr.. VAL
landigham was reelected, and was
again chosen in 1860. In 1862 he was
defeated by General Schenck, aud
since that time has not been in public
life. In 1868 he was the Democratic
candidate for Governor of Ohio.
With his previous imprisonment and
condemnation by General Burnside
all are familiar. He was a member
of the last three Democratic Nation
al Conventions. In 1867 he was u
prominent candidate for United
States Senator, but WAS beaten by
Judge Thurman by small majority.
For the last few years he has devoted
himself to his pro ession, and enjoy
ed in it large and highly lucrative
pratice.
A friend of ours, in the Enquirer
Office, remembers hearing Mr.. Val
landigham deliver his first address al
the bar. Judge Belden, Mr.. Upham,
and other distinguished lawyers who
were present, characterized 1t as the
most brilliant effort they had evel
listened to. 1t was in New Lisbon
Columbiana county, and all the by.
ISLANDERS were struck with promise
of greatness which the future SC
wonderfully realized.
