CATrLE.-The receipts, as will be seen, were
considerably blow last week, S72 cars against

the number of through cattle was not as large

We call attention to the advertise
ment, in another column, Of the McNee-
ly Normal School of Ohio. In addition to
excellent appointments, directed by ex-
perienced and superior teachers, the
school, as we see from the proceedings
Of the Ohio Teacher's Association, last
week at Sandusky, is under the control
of Board Of Trustees elected by the AS
sociation, and embracing such able and
discriminating men as A. J. Kickoff,
Esq, Superintendent Of Cleveland
Sch ools, Hon. W.D. Henkle, President,
E. T. Tappen, Of Kenyon College and
Joh Hancock, Esq, Superintendent Of
Gin cinnati Schools. There names will
be sufficient guarantee that the school Is
in sympathy with the soundest and
most advanced views Of liberal educa-
ton.
FARMERS are complaining of the
want of rain. The roads are becoming
dusty.

Hendrysburgh Locals.

In another place is brief account O
the accident that happened to Mr.
Fields on Monday. Our Local since in
forms US that the horse became scared
by the shafts becoming detached from
the axle. Mr.. Powers was in the wagon
at the time and was thrown backwards
upon his head and so severely injured
that his recovery is doubtful. Drs
Jones and Rosemond were called in
consultation with others named. The
sufferers were removed to their homes
soon after the amputation.
The festival of last Thursday was a
success, being about the first entertain
ment of the kind here not attended
with a drunken broil. Proceeds fifty
six dollars. Display of sweet meats
and sweet girls was excellent, but our
minister Rev. Feitt to our regret was
absent. Another festival will probably
follow soon for the purpose of securing
q bell for the Disciples church. We
hope our citizens be equally liberal.

THE double headed child, about
which there was so much noise some
months ago, died at Boston on the 10th
inst. There were three hours difference
in the death of the two heads. The
parents live in Monroe County in this
Stateand aremuch afflicted by the death
of the strange phenomenon. The two
portions of the body wereso intimate
ly connected that the death of one
rendered the death of the other newt
able. The sp ctacle was equally novel,
strange and unparalleled as described
by a reporter, Upon one end of the
body reposed the head of the dead in
FAINT, upon the other the live one with
eyes bright and curious and lungs still
in good breathing order. There is a
wish among physicians to have the
body opened, but it is doubtful if the
parents consent.

Ed. CHRONICLE: Some time since ]
saw an article in the Bellaire LIadepe7a-
dent in favor of Mr.. James G. Theaker
of Colerain Township, for State Sena-
tor. / second the motion. Why is ii
that no one except Mr.. Theaker has
been mentioned in this connection? Is
not Belmont County as much entitled
to the candidate as Harrison, a large
number of your readers are interested
in knowing which county has the pref
erence, and why.
If this County is entitled to the can
didate no better person could be select
ed at this time than Mr.. ITheaker, his
qualifications are such as to warrant
the belief that if elected he would be
an honor to the district and his nomi-
nation would be very acceptable to the
Temperance party of the district, from
the fact that his views on that subject
are Of the most radical kind. B.

SENATORIAL Sometime since we
brought forward the name of Capt. J.
G. Theaker for the State Senatorship in
this District. A correspondent again
speaks favorably of him in this issue.
If we follow custom, however, we must
concede the nominee to Harrison, and
we can only urge the selection of a Bel
mont man with the understanding that
Harrison has no choice. If this be the
fact, Capt. Theaker's chances will be
strongly in favor Of his nomination.
We learn that prominent Republicans
in Harrison have offered the place
upon the ticket to Capt. Danford of this
place, but his law practice here for5ids
his acceptance and ne declines.

WE paid our Infirmary flying visit
on Saturday for the first time since its
approach to completion. The building
presents fine appearance from with
out and has many conveniences within.
There are six dining rooms, a large
number of bath rooms and some pleas
ant private rooms-how many we did
not learn. The water ispumped into a
reservoir at the top of the building and
is carried to all parts of the house by
means of pipes. The heating arrange
ments will doubtless be an excellent af-
fair, if the engine has sufficient power,
which is very doubtful. The general
plan of the building seems to be a good
one, but part of the work will not bear
praise-notsso much, perhaps, the fault
of the workmen as of the supervision.
There are about one hundred and
twenty-five pauperS present. -

We are frequently asked what are
the political prospects of the County
for the coming election. We answer,
better for Republican victory than
for the last three years. We have good
reason to believe that without the gain
of a single vote over our real strength,
we will carry the County by respect
able majority. Local taxation, the
dissolute and extravagant conduct of
our present officers, the large, unneces-
say expense to which we have been
subjected by reason of official incapacity,
have not been lost in making forcible
argument in favor of change.

No one knows what he can do or what
can be done. A story was told us a
few days since which we do not recol-
lect of ever having seen in print. A
resident of Cincinnati had long resist
ed all the arguments that agents had
often employed to capture him and
they had come to regard him as invul-
nerable. A yet untried agent expressed
a wish to meet him and was told that
it would be time lost, if he didn't re-
ceive some rough treatment. Seeing
Mr.. R. upon the street the new
agent started for him and after his
usual remarks upon the benefits of In

ply "I have considered the subject and
I don't want to insure and don't intend
to-"
''But, sir, you may die at any time

since you are interrupting me in my

The agent again pressed the matter

would knock him down 'sand then

prompt reply. The gentleman was as {
rood as his word and the insurance.

quickly springing to his feet he seized {
