FRIGHIEUL.

1t has been mystery where all the
old pins go to, only paralleled by the
question as to where all the newspaper
items and jokes and the democrats come
from. For the last ten years that party
was each year supposed TO have depar-
ted entirely, leaving no seed, but as an
tiquarians went to preserving their
bones, a new lot sprung up and began
to shout for the old issues, as if they
had simply enjoyed Rip Van Wrinkle
sleep. Here is an item, going from pa
per to paper, like waif upon the wa
tiers which explains it all:
" No one has died in Holmes county,
Ohio, for ten years past"
During the Scott campaign i'm 1852 we
tried TO ride through Millersburg the
county seat on horseback without in
juring our wing feelings by riding un-
der democratic archway. We tried
all the streets in vain, and making a
bold rush, we went through under two
immense hickory trees, twined together
at the top, the emblem of the democrat
ic master spirit, General .jackson-"Old
Hickory" Stopping at hotel, we
said, Landlord, who do you go for in
this town for PRESIDENT" General
Jackson" was his quick response.
" But Jackson" said we, t'is dead" He
denied it, and we affirmed. 'See here,
stranger" said he, resorting to a strong
democratic argument, "Fll just bet your
dinner and horse feed agin'rhirty-seven
and half cents, {all that he charged, THAT
GeneFal Jackson is the dimicrats' can
didate, and leave it to squire Schrock
next door," Supposing that so high a
functionary as the justice of the peace
would be posted, we took the bet,walk-
ed into the magistrates office with ro-
tund old boniface and stated the wager.
g General jackson, to be sure," was the
emphatic response. We hammered our
fist down on the table, ,eXclaiming, Land
lord the bet is yours. Here's your threa
levies. Get out the horse. We left,
plunging under another hickory arch
and this is the first time We have heard
from there since. To hear now that
none of these hard head democrats have
ever died, and that they are still replen-
ishipg the earth, is perfectly shocking.
Kan. Weekly Tribune.
For the benefit of the above writer,
and all others who may have a wrong
impression of the state of affairs in
this good old Democratic county,
we would state that the Democrats
haye long SINCE quit voting for
General Jackson" As for the
item that has been going the rounds
of all the papers for some weeks, to
the effect that nobody has died in
Holmes county for ten years" the
majority of our good Democrats
think it is a ''he." 1t is, too. They
don't all expect to make it their
" eternal Holmes"

SINGULAR DEVOTION.

A correspondent of the Monon.
gehela Republican, writing from
New Creek, West Virginia, under
date of January s, gives the follow.
account of the wonderful attachment
of dog for his master: #
Col. HAZARD In the latter part OF
1868, during the Rebellion, a soldier
whose name is unknown, died near New
Creek, West Va, and papers found on
his person proved him to be from Wash
ington county. At the time of his
death he bad a dog to whom he was
greatly attached. The dog followed
his dead master to his grave, and rs his
comrades were filling up his grave, the
devoted friend whined pitiously, and
tried to get the dirt from out the grave
Every eXertion was made to get the dog
away, but it remained lying on the
grave, only taking time each day to &C
and find a spare morsel to eat. Even
the bitterest Rebels fed the dog-hon-
oring such devoted loyalty. 1t remain
ed guarding the grave until about one
month ago when death relieved Inn OF
his duty having stood devoted watch
of nearly nine years. About twenty
five citizens buried him, erecting a
board with the following inscription
"Here lies the remains of Poor Dog
Rosecrdnz, the Unknown Soldiers De
voted Friend"

For the REPUBLICAN.
FROM ORRvILLE. l.
ORRvILLE, Feb. &c.

ORRVILLE, rep. 10
EDS. REPUBLIcAN:-Your readers
in this region were a little surpris-
ed to hear of the withdrawal of Mr..
Laubach from the REPUBLICAN CO.
partnership, but hope that the change
may not detract anything from the
good work which your journal is
accomplishing in little Holmes.
Those of our citizens who att end
ed the Republican celebration at
Wooster, last week speak in highly
fattering terms of the happy re-un-
ior. Ihope that the speeches de-
livered on that occasion may be Civ
en- to the world. All good Republi-
cans ofWayne are satisfied that the
illustrious trio in American his
tory should read-Washington, Lin
coin and Grant. Washington the
Father; Lincoln the Savior; and
Grant the Defender of our country.
Some of our farmers are complain
ing of the unfavorable prospects of
the wheat crop. The extremely dry
fall had greatly retarded its growth,
and a rough Spring will certainly in
crease the cause for bad reports. At
no time, during the winter, in the
history of the Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne
and Chicago Railway has the freight
traffic kept up as heavy as it has
this year. The road has all it can
do, and the Spring trade has scarcely
begun. l observe by an item in the
Cleveland Plain Dealer that the
proprietor of one of our hotels is
called upon to appear before the
United States court to answer to the
charge of selling whiskey without
the proper licenses.
The Fountain Hill Nursery near
this place is driving a flourishing
trade this season. The proprietor
informs me that his sales will
amount to about $4,000, which is
not bad for the first effort. During
the summer its limits will be consid
erably enlarged.
Mr.. j. Reaser has sold his stock
Of groceries to a couple of gentle
men from Loudonville, who intend
to open up bakery and confection-
cry.
Mr.. Neal Harrington, of Wooster,
has bought out Messrs Haynes d
Albright in the photograph bust
ness in this place.
l notice an attempt to christen
the Orrville Fair as the Central Ohio
Fair. Should the managers persist
in the assumption of this new title
they will, undoubtedly, meet with
an obstacle as there is an older as
sociation of that name much near
er the central part of the State. The
geographical position of Orrville
makes snch title sound inconsis
tent and misplaced. The gentle
men should study propriety as well
as the rules of the turf.
The bell on the German church
has been cracked during the winter,
and will have to be taken down.
In the history of Orrville this has
been the dullest winter in the matri-
monial line. Evidently the ladies
are failing to avail themselves Of the
privilege accorded by Leap Year.
This morning a gentleman picked
up pocketbook which contained
no money butonly a few notes. One
of the notes calls for 81 200 and is
signed by a Millersburg business
firm. l believe this pocketbook
was advertised in your paper short
ly after the Orrville Fair last fall.
Your correspondent has the book in
his possession.
Yours DC,
WAYNE.

WASHINGTON TREATY.

Charles Francis Adams states
that there is nothing which leads
him to think the Washington Treaty
will prove a failure. England Is
disinclined for war, ard the excite
ment was caused wholly by out infu-
ences. Our case will not be with
drawn, but will stand or fall on the
decision of the Geneva arbitrators.
Gladstone has modified his tone, in
fact withdrawn, his hasty and i'll

American Sewing Machine,
The Splendid Mechanism

OF this machine, and the superior skill, work
manship and materials employed in its con-
struction, are II guaranty of faccuracy strength
and durability, and Ilins with such ease that it
makes Il woman laugh.
The shuttle, riding in its carrier, is subject
to no wear and the friction of Il race is
avoided. The tensions admit of such nice ad-
justment, and with such ease and certainty,
thatone ofthe great difficulties met with IN or
dinary machines is entirely avoided. The feed
is adjustable, that it will work with equal i.-
cility either IShtor heavy goods.
This being comparatively new machine,
persons would naturally be a little suspicious
of buying a machine they knew but little
about, hut by referring to the following named
persons who have these machines IN use, you

THE SEWING MACHINE.


Like all machines, when first made, and that
did the work for which they were intended,
was rude, uncou'h and imperfect, but the in
ventive genius of man, stimulated by protec-
tion, has not only improved them, but the last,
having the advantages of the defects and i'm
perfections of the first, have devised and orig
mated new ones, that are altogether better.
more sinpiifed Redter and cheaper, SO that we
can present to you a machine that, at Il glance,
you would pronounce perfect. At all events
they will do work superior to hand work, either
for nearness, durability and beauty. This We
do in the
American Sewing Machine,
Which will do all work that is done by any
Sewing Machine, and besides, simple and
plain, not hard to understand, easy to run,
(either on account of their mechanical con-
struction, or not being complicated, or both,)
seldom or never out OF order, and will last Il

SUICIDE BY TAKING POISON.

About ten days since Stephen d. Hicks, q young
man, whose father does an extensive business at
No. 2l9 Greenwich street, while under great mental
excitement, caused perhaps by indulglng to excess
ln alcoholic stimulants swallowed dose OF arsenic
for the purpose OF terminating his existence, which
had become burdensome to him. One OF the police
surgeons was called to attend young Hicks, who
seemed to do well, and for time strong
hopes were entertained OF his recovery,
but, being taken suddenly worse on Saturday
evening died soon afterwards. Previous to his
death, Mr.. Hicks told some members OF his family
and also the doctor that he had swallowed the
poison In glass OF lager beer, but did not say
where or the circumstances which prompted the
act. Mr. Hicks told the doctor that he had carried
the poison in his pocket for six weeks; and all eE
forts to learn where he procured the arsenic proved
nnavaiing. Deceased was twenty-three years OF
steady, and possessed business qualifications OF no
mean order,
