uncertainty of human life, presents, a
grave complication in the Presiden-
tial succession. Next Wednesdaythe
Electors meet at the several State
Capitols to cast the vote. ThissV0te
is certified, sealed, and transmitted to
the President of the Senate, in sdcur-
dance with the twelfth amendme1b 10
the Constitution and when the votes
shall be opened and counted inSttie
presence of the Senate and House OF
Representatives in February, the per
son having the greatest number Df
votes shall be- the PresidentEE
We assume that since Mr.. GreHley
is deceased, the Electors for the sig
States he carried will cast the vote of
those States for Thomas A. Hem
bricks, or some other Democrat. Now
suppose in the interval of next Wed
nesday and the joint Conventiohifs ifsl
February, General Grant Should die,
Hendricks would be the only candi=
date before the House, which. by eoiis
stitutional requirement, must PROCEED
Immediately to ballot. They mayfil-
libuster until the 4th of March, when
the Vice President elect would sue
ceed. But this is revolutionary. We
suggest that on "Wednesday Indiana
cast her vote for Morton. This with
notimpair Grants majority, and COW
ering the contingency of his DEATH;

What Papers to. Take.

AS the present year is drawing to a
close, the reading public are looking
the field over for good family papers
for the year 1873, and just here we
wish to say a word relative to- the. se-
lection of such. Every person, OF
course, has a right to select such a
Journal as he or she may choose. but
notwithstanding that, every citizen is,
in certain sense, obligated to, the
support of his home newspaper, for
the interests of the two are closely
allied. Beyond this we would COM
mend journal that is especially valu-
able as a general aid in business affairs
and as paper to meet this end we do
most heartily recommend the good
Ohio Farmer, published at Cleveland.
The Farmer is particularly noted for
its practical character and authentic
teachings. All of its departments
agricultural, horticultural, mechanical
and all questions of interest pertain
ing to them frankly discussed. The
youths, miscellaneous and home de-
partments are every week fuifof fresh
sparkling and substantial things, ESQ
that every member of the household,
from the school boy to theg gray haired
sire, finds many times in real value,
the simple cost of the paper in single
volume. We understand that, for the
coming year, the Farmer is to be en-
larged and greatly improved, but the
subscription price is to remain as be-
fore, simply two dollars5a year.

HeavyBusiness Failures.

Word reach Warren last Wednes-
dag, that sseries Of failurs had OCCUR
red among PROMINENT b6siness firms
at Leetonia involving losses variously
estimated at between one million and
a million and three quarters of dol
lars.IIThe Leetonia Iron andv Coal
Company, Leetonia Banking Compa-

The latter company made an assign
ment to C. III. Andrews of Youngs-
town, and JohnF. Whitelaw Cashier
of the National City Bank of

Leteonia Iron and Gear Company.
The loss falls heavily upon the
Banks of the Mahoning valley, also

So GENERAL has the public conf
dence become in DR.. Ayers Ipedicine
and so great the demand for them, that
unpriTcipled villains are attempting
to deceive the unwary by imposing
upon them their worthless nostrums
under similarity of name. Cherry
Pectoral Lozenges, Dr. Ayers Troches
Aper's Pastiles for CoHghs, Cherry
Pectoral Cough Drops, Ayers Fever
and Ague Cure, Dir. Ayers Indian
Pills, sc. &c, (none of which are Of
DIR. Ayers manufacture or compost
tion) are specimens of this yillainy
and deceit. They not only defraud
the sick of their money but of their
health, or the recovery of their health
which is far moro, important than
money. From actual counterfeits the
people are protected by law which
the Doctor promptly enforces, but
these evasions sometimes elude the
law, and purchasers must protect
themselves by refusing to be deceived
by them.=-Dover fN. h Bee. ~

The Court of Common Pleas, hich
has been dragging its slow length
along since about the 2lst of October
last, meeting semi-occasionally in the
mean time, commenced work in ear
nest on Monday.E Tbesjurg was emf
paneled in the afternoon and the trial
ofthe case of John Platt & ais VS.. Mar
vim Kent, s. ais. was commenced. Suit
is brought to recover thetitle to about
forty-two acres of land in Franklin
township, which they claim to own as
the heirs of George Platt, deceased.
The defendants claim title through the
A. & 6. w. Ry. CO., under a contract
of purchase from George Plat, decd.
and also by prescription. This is the
second trial of the case. The jury re-
turned verdict for the defendants.

1t is understood that the celebrated
sheep case OF Gorby vs. Ward, which
has heretofore occupied SO much of
the time of the Court and created SO
much interest among the people of
Randolph and vicinity, is set down
for trial on Thursday next. The case
we believe. has already been tried
three times twice the jurors failing
to agree, aud on the last trial a ver-
dict of five dollars rendered for the
plaintiff. A struck jury has been
summoned in the case, and the trial
will probably occupy the most partof
week.

How about that editorial convention
at Salem2 Bro. Hays. of Carrolton,
like ourselves, is also inquiring after
it. We expected to find something in
the Salem but last week 8

Harris and Secretary Burchard for ip-
