End of the volume.

ri With this number of the HERALD
we complete the 14th year of its exist
ence. From the com mencement of
our labors as a journalist in this place,
Il has been our aim to furnish paper
that would be instructive, interesting
and useful, to the busin ess men of our
county, and occasionally to furnish
innocent amusement for the fun-lov
ING portion of our community. How
far VIC have succeeded IN our efforts,
may be inferred from the fact
that eur paper has continued
from the beginning, to grow in
favor with the people, until its oircu-
lation has become equal to that of
most OF the country newspapers in
the State. If we have failed in any
apoint, it has not been for the want of q
desire to make the HERALD equal to
the wants Of this community. That
We should please all, is not to be ex-
pected, and is a perfection with which
we, as we'll as the best and most tai
ented newspaper men Of this or any
other age, are not endowed, but we
have done the best we could to make
it to us a paying institution, and we
have the pleasure of saying thus far
1t has proved a success. We hope in
our future efforts, we shall be able to
merit and receive continuance OF the
Friendship and patronage and increased
cfavors from the good people of Fay
cite county.
There have been many changes since
we issued the first number of the HER :
AID, IA years ago. The whole county
has undergone radical change. Farm,
ers have made extensive Improvements
upon their rich. lands, and a system
of road making has been adopted that
has made Fayette county the banner
county in the State for good turnpike
roads. The town of Washington is
now nearly three times as large as it
was IA years ago, and there is every
reason to believe that our county and
p town will continue to increase in pop
ulation, wealth and beauty, until ours
will be the most desirable county and
e. town in which to make a permanent
home OF any in Ohio. During seven
years Just passed, more has been done
in our county to develop its real nat
oural wealth, than twice that number OF
payears anterior to that time, and we see
9 no evidences that the enterprise of oul
citizens is likely to be paralyized OF
Stacked Onward is the motto of oul
people, and next week we shall com
mence the 10Th volume of the HERALD
e and our. motto is onward.

SeIf-Governed.

1t appears to US that the result of
the Presidential election that has just
passed, should teach men who aspire
to be leaders, and vainly thiAk they
have the power to induce the masses
to follow their lead against their own
better judgment, that in this day of
intellectual and educational progress.
the masses will think for themselves
and act for them selves and their coun-
try, dispite the sham sales that
assumed partizan leaders may attempt
to make of them. The people want
no party dictation from Shurtz, Trum
bull Summer, Greeley, Blair, Thur
man, nor Pendleton, and that class of
politicians who sought to make arti-
cles of commerce of the masses of the
Democratic party. There are too
many school houses in this broad land,
and under these circumstan ces, he
who thinks the intellect of this Nation
is to be pent up and swayed to and
fro by designing, selfish political dem
agogues, will find that he has under
rated the intelligence and the personal
independence of the free and enlight,
cned intelligent masses of tLis coun-
try, where every man is guided by his
own enlightened reasoning powers
We have witnessed good many Pres
idential campaigns, and after the cam
paign, great many disappointments
and heart burnings and ill-feelings, but
we have never before this, witnessed
cam raign where the defeated party
seemed to enjoy the defeat of their
candidate. Our Democratic friends
especially, seem to be jubilant over
the fact that Mr. Greeley, their old
bitter political adversary, has been
left out in the cold. They seem to feel
as though they had made a disposition
of q troublesome elephant that had
been imposed upon them in the person
of Horace Greeley.

: On the next morning after the
Presidential election, the Cincinnati
Enquirer said this about the result:
For once the leaders of the Demo-
cratic party have failed to control the
rank and file. Nothing shows more
significantly the hopeless demoraliza-
ton of that once great Organization
When was it before that the united
voices of Hondricks, Pendleton, Thur
man and Seymour failed to summon
the spirits from the vast deep of
American politics

The only place where the limits of
the fire were reached is on Summer
street, where the FIRE began. 1t swept
in a northeasterly direction from
there, and can not tell where it will
stop. The loss, of course, is beyond
computation. There must be an in
surance heavy enough to carry under
several insurance companies in this

= This is what the Cincinnati En-
quirer said the next morning after the
Presidential election:
We are astonished- at the result in
New York. That State gave 10000
majority for Seymour four years ago
over Grant, and there were $4,000
Liberal Republicans registered, max
ing change of 10000. That this
should be changed into a majority of
10000 or 10000 for Grant is an event
beyond our comprehension.

The Car Burglary at BIanchcstcr.

The party of boys who were lately
arrested at Manchester, charged with
burglariously entering an express car
and setting fire to it, have been admit
ted to bail at five hundred dollars each,
and are now at large. 1t seems the
boys were ION a lalk," and were pros
pecting for lager beer, with tallow
candle for an illumination. In throw
ing away match with which the can
die was lighted, while they were in the
car, a small stream of petroleum,
which had leaked out of several bar
rels on the floor, was ignited, and, in
turn, caught the fuid in the barrels
The blaze illuminated the village and
country around, and quickly consum-
ed the car and its valuable contents,
consisting OF petroleum, sugar in bar
rels and hogshead, and rare assort-
ment of dry goods, of an aggregate
value of about ten thousand dollars
The boys lived in the vicinity of Blan-
chester, and were there at night taElin g
lessons in telegraphy of the station

The Wool and Leather Trnde.

New York, Nov. 12.-The World
says the great losses in leather and
wool in the Boston fire will affect the
industries of which they are the raw
materials but very slightly. The de-
rangement will be put very temporary,
as few of our wool or leather mer-
chants are directly affected by the de-
struction in our sister city, and most
of those that are will be abundantly
able to meet their loses.

- The Enquirer volunteers its ad-
vice to President Grant, in relation to
the, construction of his Cabinet. The
President is said to be the great gift
taker, but VIC do not believe he will
feel It his duty to take advice from his
enemies.

ONE OF THE INCIDENTS.

One man, Marshal Golfer, got out
$4,000 worth of kid gloves, and had
them placed on the sidewalk in dam
aged condition He offered q hack
man five hundred dollars in vain to
take the goods to place of safety.
In less than an hour he had to flee for
his life, and the flames were not again
cheated of their prey. The fire was
now in Federal street and wool houses
were going like oil factories. They
could never have been attacked at n
more dangerous time, as they were
crammed from cellar to garret, Hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars worth
were on hand that night that would
have been delivered to customers had
it not been for the horse disease. In
one store alone there was one hun
dred thousand dollars worth of wool
stored which was awaiting delivery.
Minor, BealI & Hacket had their store
packed full, having only put in the
last Of their winters stock three hours
before the fire enveIoped it all. March
Bros. & Pierce had just put their win
ter goods in the cellar and sent their
summer goods up stairs to be made
up.
The paper beuses came next, and
with the end of Federal street went
the majority Of the'slarge city deal
ers. 1t had been hoped that the fire
could be stopped short Of. franklin
street, but the stores there were as
vulnerable as any of the others. The
treeman's National Bank went at 10
o'clock, and an hour later the National
Bank of North America was in as bad
condition.

SCENES OF TERROR.

A new terror was now added to the
Babel of confusion. The tenement
houses at the upper end of Federal
street were fast being licked up by
the flames, and women crazed and
fainting were rushing to and fro,
carrying children, crockery, clocks
and bedding in their hands. One ran
screaming through High street with a
stove funnel in her hands, while
another was tugging a heavy chest
which would have been a weight for
strong man. Now and then few
pieces of goods might, be saved by
volunteers who ran in and spent i've
minutes, during which they could work
in bringing out perhaps hundred
pieces of cloth.
