Personal.

We learn that our gifted townsman,
John A. Fleming, is now writing the
life and adventures of the editor OF the
Eaton REGISTER, to be illustrated in
the highest style of art. The feat of
Isaac pulling off a pair of No. II boots
whils standing on his head has never
been equalled, and far surpasses any
Sunday game of quoits, cards or drink
ing beer! There are several other
equally rich illustrations. We further
Iea1n that Col. Foster will write the
preface, treating of the good man
Isaac's early piety and how finally he
received the gift of sanctification. AS
Isaac seems to think personalities
against US will increase the prospects
of Mr.. johnson, for Sheriff, he will
certainly not object if we conclude
that the same warfare against HIM,
will benefit MI. Townsend, our can
didate for that Office, and for this pur-
pose we have secured the copyright
of the work to prepare ourself for a
defense. Let the ball roll.

Coed Bye, Granville!

This brave and chiyalrons sfighting
parson" has left us, and we meier Elk
pect to see his angelic form again in
this place, to spread its holy and sane
tilted influence DER us! (There, now,
is another thrust at religion and reli-
gious heni) There car be no doubt
about his bravery when in the army,
Murat or Ney nevershowed more than
he did-on dress paradei But unfor-
tunately for the lighting parson" and
the country, he was subject to despe-
rate fits of gripping and diarrhea.-
Whenever there was a fight in pros
pect, this fearful malady increased,
rendering him, with all his bravery
and desperate courage, unfit for duty.
There was no one regretted this more
than the Reverend Colonel. We learn
from a Surgeon who knew him well,
that this disease eve left him until
he was transferred to Camp Chase,
where his bravery and courage was
tested and not found wanting. His
eloquent speeches here in favor OF
Jesus Christ and Gen. Grant, proves
that he is brave and that he is no lon
ger subject to hat fearful malady, and
it is safe to risk himl

Rev. ]. ". casgatt.

We notice by the Conference proceed
ings that this gentleman has been con-
tinued at our place for another season,
and we believe we speak the sentiments
of those outside of the Church, when we
say that no better choice could have
been made, nor one that would have
given more general satisfaction. AL
though we would differ with Mr.. Cas-
satt on many questions, we believe he is
honest and sincere in his epinions-acts
consistent-attends to his own business,
breaches the Gospel as he promises-and
thus we respect him and wish him sue
cess in his christian labors.

Mi. S. S. Dix, our Ticket Agent here,
informs us that ISAIAH PETERSON, Break
man on the local freight train on the
Eaton and Hamilton Road, was killed
on Monday night last, between Seven
Mile and Coliinsvil1e. Tie was standing
on the top of a freight car with his back
toward the Engine, when he was struck
by a bridge and instantly killed. He
fell between the cars and the train pass
ed oyer him, cutting one leg and one
arm off. He was = resident of Hamil-
ton-about 3G years old, and leaves a
wife and two children to mourn his
sudden and terrible death.

The cold brains" of the "Register"
says we oppose Hiram johnson "be-
cause he is a Minister and a tempe
man." Isaac is constitutionally
SO saving of the truth that he would
prefer slying on credit to telling the
truth for cash." The FACTS are these,
Mr.. Johnson has not a single business
qualification fitting him for the office
of Sheriff, and it is only claimed by
his friends that he should have the
position because he is poor, and has a
large family of children, all of whom,
it is proposed the county shall clothe,
feed and educate. We have no OBJ
lection to any man simply because he
is a temperance man, but we do have
serious objections to voting for, OIL as
sisting in placing in official position,
an extremist, either in religion OF
temperance. AT the meeting which
convened at the Town Hall for the
purpose of considering the Temper
ance question, MI. Johnson was one
of the most active members-subscrib-
ed money to carry OH prosecutions,
and was in fearful earnest in favor of
the work of closing all the "hell holes"
in the county-so also was Mr.. Nor
row-likewise the intellectual Isaac
of the Register. Since johnson and
Morrow announced themselves as a n
didates for office, neither has had a
word to say ON the temperance ques-
ton, and n of them it is certain,
furnished money which it was known
votes through the influence Of intoxi-
eating drinks-the high old Register
has uttered not a syllable OH the evils
of intemperance since the campaign
opened, although they are as great as
ever. At elections the votes of liquor
sellers and liquor drinkers count, and
the temperance hypocrites "shut PAM
and by the use of money encourage
the very thing concerninglKhieh they
howl SO pertinaciously nine months
in the year. Mr.. Townsend is a bet
ter temperance man than a regiment
of such hypoerits and political shys-
tiers, and his reputation for honesty
firm business ability, and unspotted
character, established by twenty years
of active business life, is, as compared
with the record of these great REFORM
ers, as the sunlight to a penny talloW
dip, and no personal abuse of us by
the hyena of the "Register" will din
it one glimmer.

We understand that the meeting adj
vertised at Camden last week for the
two per cent a month candidate for
Congress, was a complete failure: An
effort was first made to hold it in the
Church, but the crowd wouldn't come,
so they adjourned to the street corner
and gathered up a few hearers to lis
ten to the man who purchased his
nomination by greenbacks, and ex-
poets to secure his election in the
same way.

0ur County Fair.

Our County Fair this season promi-
ses to be an excellent one, and all that
is wanted for to make it an entire
| success, is for the managers to recind
the foolish resolution of keeping out
Shows, &C., and run it as heretofore.
1t is now time to commence prepar-
ing articles for exhibition. 1t is true
that the soil has not yielded in such
an abundance as last year, but still,
with the present crops we have plen-
ty to show that will make q County
Fair interesting. Then, too, it should
be the pride of every farmers home
to have on exhibition some one pro-
duct of his farm or some household
article, the work of some individual
member of his family. In every we'll
to-do farmers home there are plenty
of meritorious articles made by the
cunning fingers of the good house
wife-a fine patchwork quilt, a mon
ument of patent industry and woman
ly skill, a sample of embroidery Oh
intricate crochet, a lamp mat, or a
sample of butter, or bread, or pre-
serves, OF something of that sort
The mechanic, the artisan and the
merchant should bring their offerings
and dedicate them upon the shrine of
Ceres and Flora. Let our farmers
bring everything they have in the
way of farm products if you have
nothing else, bring your wives, daugh-
tiers, son and your whole household.
Every one who is present will help
make the fair more interesting. The
managers Of the exhibition will have
cleansed and otherwise beautified the
grounds, and will endeavor to make
everything pleasant and comfortable,
Let the people of this county turn out
and try to make this the browning
exhibition of the year.
