Delinqucncies.

Noticing the great length of the
list Of lands advertised in some of our
exchanges, for sale on account Of the
uOn,Paymeht of taxes, we were little
curious to see how the delinquencies in
our county compared with other coun-
Eies in the State, and on comparison,
we find that in Fayette, n notwithstanding
we are making a much greater number
Ofmiles Of free turnpike roads in our
county than almost any county in the
State, everything considered, our
citizens have paid up more prompt
" than a majority of the counties in
the State. While the number of delin
quencies in our list of lands to be
sold for taxes is but 80; we find that
those advertised for the same purpose
in our neighboring county of Clinton
which is a wealthy county ant
generally prompt, is $40. The delin
quencies in the list for sale in Brown
county, for the same purpose, is 597
Pickaway county has but II delinquen
cies for non-payment on lands ant
town lots.
The prompt payment of taxes il
highly creditabIe to the people of those
counties where this is the case, ono
when we see the delinquent list of (
county embracing but few delinquen
cies, we naturally conclude the peopl
Of such counties are prompt, honest
and that there Is a spirit of energ,
among them that is highly commend
able; that their financial condition i
healthy and prosperous.

That is the way we got more for
our work than he did for his. Ours
was worth more from the fact of our
having a much greater circulation
than the Register
The editor of the Register knows
very we'll that we have never charged
the county more for advertising than
what is the customary price all over
the State, and in numerous instances
his bills for the same advertising
have exceeded ours.
We make this statement as a fact
that the editor cannot deny without
nisrepresenting the truth, that, al
though the improvements that have
been making in our county during the
past four or five years, the county
printing during the same time in Fay
ette county, has been Iess than il
almost any other county in south
ern Ohio.

: Miss lydia s Hall who

- Miss Lydia 5. Hall, who is now
acting United States Treasurer, IN the
absence of the male chief, was once a
Lowell factory girl, and was contrib
utor to the Lowell Offe ing over the
nom do plume of ''Adelaide." The
Lowell Courier says that Miss Hall has
been missionary to the Choctaws,
and in border ruffian days lived in
Kansas, where she was an owner Of
considerable real estate. Meeting with
some misfortune in regard to titles of
property, she went to Washington, and
has filed clerkship in the Treasury
department since, being also engaged
in studying law, in order to enable
her to secure her rights to her prop
erty in Kansas, which she will no
doubt do and return to that State, nn-
less she gets into the Cabinet. She
is lady Of great versatility of talent
and would even fill higher position
than the one she now occupies with
credit

Strange Talk for a Catholic Priest.

The Newark IN. j. Daily Adver-
tiser says: The Rev. Father Hen
messy, Pastor of ST. Patrick's Church,
Bergen City, delivered terrible and
bitter sermon on Sunday last, leveling
his thunderbolts against the gin mill
keepers, and the lukewarm and indif-
ferent Catholics of his mission. Dur
ing his discourse he said: II am go
ing to get list OF all grog shops and
gin place proprietors, and if they don't
close their houses every Saturday
night at II o'clock, aud not open
them till Monday, 1 will not allow
themselves nor their wives to come
near this altar. They must give up
their unholy work Let them be con
tent with selling groceries. 1t is bet
ter to make fifty cents day honestly
and justly, with the blessing of God
upon it, than ten dollars a day with
the curse of God upon it. Remembel
that the money gained in this dirty
work will not profit you long. It will
vanish like the froth on the river. You
are carrying souls to destruction an6
ruin; you are robbing the widow anG
orphan .tI4eep epeeF and needy. Ge;tst
your work, then, and resolve to get
an honest and decent living"

men present.
This being settled, the election of
seven directors was next resolved up
on, to be divided as follows: Scio-

Chillicothe being the central point
on the line, it vas suggested by DR..
Williams that the Directors had better
hold their meetings here for organiza-

Mr.. Davis, therefore, it was resolved
that the Board meet in this city on
Tuesday, January 10th, 1872.

More building is going on than has been

that at least three times the average number
Of brick have been laid this season, compared
with any year since the war.

tender the happy couple our congrStuls-

which is now the cha racteriStic Of their life

With all the pleasant anticip0tions Of younger

THE PLACE TO

On Saturday evening last, tssys the Cum
berland Dtsily TYmes,) meeting of the Gree
lev and Brown Campaign Club was held at the
Market House, Vice President Harburs in the
chair. The meeting was called to order at $40
when the audience were favored with speeches
from Jas. L. Vsllandisham, Esq, Of Hamilton,
Ohio and f. Willis Wilson, Esq, Of HarPer'S
Ferry. West Virginia, both of whom delivered
powerful and effective arguments in favor OF
the Liberal ticket. Mr. Vallandigham is well
known to many of our city readers, and is
nephew Of the late Clement l.. Vallandigham
Of Ohio. Although quite young man, he
has few superiors as political speaker, and the
enthusiastic applause Of bis listeners attested
TO the effectiveness Of bis remarks. Mr.. Will
sons speech was also very able effort Adj
ded to a charming delivery, the clear, logical
aud earnest reasoning Of the speaker carried
conviction to the minds of the audience It
is rare that an opportunity is afforded Of hear
ing two such excellent speeches as those of
Saturday night.
Both these gentlemen have left the city TO
take part in the campaign; Mr. vallandigham
to take the stump in Ohio, and Mr. Wilson in
Connecticut,
