NASHVILLE, OHIo,)
Dec. 30th, 1871.
have noticed that you scarcely ever
receive a communication Of what is
transpiring in this vicinity,Cthis you
will please accept as the excuse of one
of your lady readers addressing you at
this time.
We have noticed that the citizens Of
Millersburg have been moving in the
matter of relief for the sufferers from
/ the fires in the Northwest. We wish
them abundant success, and would say
for their encouragement, that Mr.. Lock-
hart of the Loudonville Independent,
lectured here soon after the great disas-
ter in Chicago, giving general descrip-
ton of that fire, but recommending re-
lief for the sufferers from the other fires
in the Northwest. Two committees
were appointed, one in the vicinity of
Nashville, and another in Hopewell.
These committees were very successful.
Several wagon loads of provision.
clothing for men, women and children,
muslin, calico, and sixty dollars in cash,
were contributed. In order that these
supplies might reach their destination
free of charge, special car was ordered
and the committee attend to the ship
ment. This was done early in Novem-
Der, and sent to the sufferers in North
ern Michigan.
There was rather an exciting time
here last week. Our Temperance Or
ganization held a meeting some time
since in the Presbyterian church. Ad-
dresses were delivered by Rev. P. Gra-
ham and Rev. E. B. Caldwell. 1t wa:
unanimously resolved that the time had
come to use "legal suasion" against the
whisky sellers Of our place. An exec.
utive committee was appointed with
plenty of means for enforcing this res.
olution. j. K. Cowen, Esq, of Mans.
field, was employed to prosecute thu
matter here. On his appearance il
town some of the Hsuckers" became
suddenly inrincfble. Proceedings wer'
commenced before Squire Darby.
The three prominent Grocery keepers
were arrested for violating the liquor
laws. They appealed the case to th'
Probate Court upon arrest. An inves
tigation of the testimony was gone into
which resulted in the accused givins
bonds and number of witnesses being
recognized to appear before the Pro.
bate Court at its next session.
I We hope to hear, through your col.
umns, how this matter progresses il

CONDENSED TRUTH.

The editor of Hagper's Weekly
puts a great deal in a few words, as
follows: oil
'tA party which, while defending
and extending human slavery, called
itself Democratic, and while actively in
one part of the country, and passively
in the other, trying to overthrow the
Government, called itself Conservative,
may also, when foiled in the attempt to
destroy the Constitution, solemnly call
itself constitutional. The motley host
called the Democratic party is quite as
constitutional as it is Democratic, and
as conservative as it is CONSTITUTIONAL"

GOOD.

It's venerable story, but it may as
well he told again. Somebody N Con-
necticut sold bottle of the best brandy
and Prof. Silliman of Yale College ,hav-
ing analized the same, finds in it alum,
iron, sulphuric acid, essential oil of
some kind, tannic acid, Guinea pepper,
burnt sugar, lead and copper, with ba-
sis of whisky. This is the delicious
though somewhat miscellaneous mix
ture which, by the aid of a pretty label
and little sealing-waX on the cork,
passes for old Hennessy, London Dock,
Martel, or Seignette brandy. The mar
vel is that it does not instantaneously
kill the first deluded wretch who swal-
lows mouthful of it; and in some ca
ses perhaps it would be better if it did.
1t seems to be about as well established
as most things in this world, that no
body drinking spirits and wines can be
sure of their purity. The imbiber opens
his mouth and shuts his eyes, as the
children do in the nursery play. If we
could but analyze what we eat and
drink-but we cannot.

We soon landed on the Island; find
ing it rather cold, with several inch
es of snow, making it somewhat un
pleasant to get around. The frs
thing we noticed was the old home
stead of Col. Davenport, which wai
built in 1888, and in its time was {
very good building for the west
Proceeding some distance further,
we found ourselves in front of The
old Government buildings, which put
us much in mind of those found at
forts and army headquarters during
the lale war. Here our attention
was directed to the excellent man
ner in which the island is being lai6
out in drives, streets, &C., by an ex.
perienced engineer, which designs
when fully carried out and complet
ed, will make the island a very at
tractive place to visit, particularly
when the large stone Government
buildings, of which there will be ten
all alike, are completed. Several g
them are now about finished and
make an imposing appearance. They
are built of the Joliet stone. Nov.
ing along slowly from one point to
another, we had in full view. the ba.
sin, under construction by the Gov.
ernment, we believe, which is mas
terpiece ofmechanism. We presume
that when the ten buildings are
once completed, that the old arsenal
at the lower end of the island will
be vacated. December is a bad time
for visiting the island, and SO we did
not consume very much time in
looking around. Turning our faces
homewards, and while crossing the
bridge, we noticed the ruins Of q
portion of the new bridge which is
under course of erection, and which
was partly carried away several
nights previous. ...ra .:....,

DETROIT, Mich, April 2s, 1872
The liberal republican movement has not de-
veloped much strength In Michigan, nor has there
been any enthusiasm shown in Its support. No
general State convention has been held, but con-
ference OF q few In favor OF the movement was got
together two weeks ago, resulting in an address to
their friends throughout the State requesting
meetings to appoint delegates to Cincinnati. The
Central Committee has received information that
ABOUT ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DELEGATES
WILL GO.
Detroit will send quite number or men OF in
luence, but not strong in politics. Hillsdale county
win send delegation sOf thirty. Battle Creek
sends a list OF 500 persons In favor Of the move
ment and It will be ably represented at Cincinnati
Among the prominent officials are Secretary OF
State Stryker and a State Senator and Representa-
tive from Washtenau county The delegates will
organize and attempt to settle upon some definite
plan OF operations on Tuesday evening at
Cincinnati. The friends OF the movement claim,
Ii proper candidates are nominated that they can
take the strength of republican party with them.
The movement does not find much sympathy in the
press Of the State OF republican daies In Detroit
the Post Is administration, Tribune liberal. The
Free Press democratic, utterly rcpudates the idea
OF the democratic party afilatng with republicans
or endorsing the Cincinnati platform ana candi-
dates but In this particular it Is In opposition with
the majority OF Its party.

cans who have grown up with this movement. The

when they expended their powder upon Davis, who
Is an old whig with manufacturing connections in

Judge Trumbull and Gratz Brown have more respect

way Gratz Brown has done more for the pacifica
tion ana progress o. the south than any republican
