"A meeting of the Directors Of the
Martins Ferry Iron and Nail Works
was held in the Town Hall, on Satur-
dsy, the 30th day of March. The
Board made a permanent organization
for one year by electing Mr.. William
Clark President Mr.. L. Spence Vice
President, and Mr.. H. W. Smith Trea-
surer; all good men in the right place

capacity, and no lack Of energy for any

ere will at once have q pretty sure
guarantee of the enterprise being q
success. The Board, at the earnest
solicitation OF a number Of the stock
holders, decided to change the name OF
the mill from Martins Ferry Iron and
Nail Works." 10 andes Nail Works. "
1t was thought that the brevity OF the
latter name would be practically more
convenient. The question OF calling in
a percentage Of the stock was under
consideration for some time, but it was
not decided positively, owing to the
fact that they had a proposition from a
party (well qualified from his practical
experience), who proposed to make out
and give them plan and specifications
for a mill, with not only all the modern
Improvements, but Improvements on
the latest Improvements. This, OF
course, would be a matter Of great in
terest TO the company, and worthy Of
the consideration OF the Board, this
being an age Of improvement. 1t is
altogether probable, from the expressed
opinion OF the members OF the Board,
that at its next meeting ten per cent OF
the capital stock will be called for, with
due notice of time and place to be paid,
with the balance to be paid in install
meuts every thirty or sixty days, as the
Board may direct. The company, in
all it's preliminary steps 30 far, has been
moving along very smoothly and the
prospect is quite encouraging to all
interested.

CONNECTICUT ELECTION.

State election takes place in Connecticut
next Monday, the first day of April. AL
though occurring on April-fool day, there
will be no nonsense in this election.
1t will be the second gun of the Presi-
dental campaign, as is well understood
by the voters in Connecticut and the most
of people in other States. The Legislature
to be elected will have the choosing of a
United Senators for six years, &c f!s Tie
vacancy which will occur upon the eX-
piration of Senator Fery's term. For
these reasons the ground is holly contest
ed, both parties making every exertion to
The ablest speakers of the democratic
party are stamping the State, while the
speeches of the disatfected republican
senators at Washington are being distribu-
ted broadcast by democratic town COM
mittees.
There is temperance ticket in the field
which will draw whatever strength it has
from the republican side, but it is thought
that it will not obtain many votes, the
most of the temperance men opposing it
and adhering to the republican organiza-
ton.
The vote for governor last year was,
Marshall Jewell (republican) 47,i73; j.
f. English (democraD 1880; the re-
publican majority was 103. This is az very
narrow margin over which to fight the
battle, but the republicans are confident
of winning the victory. If the republicans
of New Hampshire could overturn an adj
verse majority of nearly two thousand
and win by about fifteen hundred majority,
surely in Connecticut we can hold our
majority of last year, which is enough for
all practical purposes. The legislature last
year had in the Senate ID republicans to 8
democrats, in the House 1870 republicans
to 100 democrats.
We hope the democrats may be gratiiied
with another 'blessing in Disguise such
as they got in New Hampshire. That
they should labor so hard to avert such
BLESSINGS" is one Of the mysteries that
none but Il democrat high priest is capable
