Geo. E. Pugh, who used to be VAL
landigham's right bower, has given
up the ''grand old Democratic party''
and pronounced it dead. In a No
Name party meeting in Hamilton, re-
Gently he said: :s-I -li
Now, where Is your Democratic par
ty? Talk to me about it! I give you
the answer which the people gave
when Louis Philippe thought he
might put his grandson on the throne.

you marched off to the city OF Balti-
more, and, with the delegates OF the
Democratic party from every State in
the Union, you supported Horace
Greeley and B. Gratz Brown, with
the relegation Of free trade to the Con-
gressional districts. And now we
have my dear old friend William AL
len, brought up, and a parcel Of other
old boys and young boys, with paper
caps on their heads, with chicken
feathers in them, and wooden swords,
blowing tones from tin horns and
beating drums! And talk to me about
the Democratic partyI You killed it,
and you never can revive it.
Alas for poor Allen, he has been
resurrected in vain a.fn

We DO not want yoa TO infer that
FostOria Is dead simply because you
have hzd no letter from me fOr so
long a time. We still live and are in
a fourishing condition. Business has
improved very much during the past
ten days, bat will be much better
when eur fa-mers have done seeding.
There is but very little grain coming
into market.
Work is moving along very nicely
on the new blocks of B. Leonard and
Mickey Brothers & Richard. The
Leonard block will soon be ready for
the roof. The other is nearly. to the
third story. Both viii be very fine
buildings and add very much to the
appearance of Main street.
There are a great many buildings
being erected in Fostoria this season,
and many of them are good residences.
Work on the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road is progressing finely. About
eight miles Of iron has already been
laid. The company have large force
of men at work graveling the road.
The engineer tells me he will COM
menee laying iron at the crossing of
the Dayton & Michigan road, at Desh-
Ter, next week, and work this way.
The Columbus & Toledo Railroad
Company have men employed secur-
ing the right of way for their road bed.
I am told they are meeting with good
success. Much of the right of way
between here and Toledo has already
been secured. The building of this
road by way of Fostoria has at last be-
came a fixed fact, of which we are not
sorry.
Young America Hook and Ladder
Company gave an entertainment in
Liberty Han last Saturday evening.
They had nice time, but did not re.
alize very great financial dividends.
The Teachers Institute will lie in
session here during this week, and it
is to be hoped that every live teacher
in the county will be present to con-
tribute his or her part toward having
Unpleasant as weIl as profitable time.
A large number of our people, both
married and single, will attend a Sc
leet picnic tomorrow in the grove on
the NestIerode farm, three miles
north of town. A grand time is an
ticipated.
Many of the old veteran soldiers are
already talking of and making ar
rangements to attend the reunion at
Sandusky City on the 18th OF Septem-
ber I understand arrangements have
been made for running trains to and
from the city at half fare.
The general health in and around
Fostoria is good. Everybody seems
industrious and happy. JAcoB.

The Mennonftes.

The colony of 80, 200 Mennonites or
Russian Baptists with Quaker COS
tunes, which is to settle in Kansas,
will not be by any means the first rep
resentatives of these people which
have emigrated to this country. AS
far back as 1858 and 170S, communities
Of Mennonites were established in var
ious parts of Pennsylvania-no
in Philadelphia and Germantown.
They have since widely spread, and
are now to be found in New York,
Ohio, Maryland and Canada, numbers
ing altogether, perhaps $50, 600 souls.
The origin Of the sect dates back to the
beginning of the seventeenth century
when certain Menno Simanis from
whose first name it derives its appella-
ton, founded it in Holland. Success.
siye aeOlOnizatiOns and emigratiOns
elsewhere established the Mennonites
in the course of time in almost every
country of Europe. They are an Or
derly and industrious people, and al
though possessed of some peculiar be-
liefs and convictions, make excellent
citizens. Among their opinions ii
may be mentioned that they are OPP
posed, like the Quakers, to oaths and
to war, and also to capital punishment,
and discourage, as also do the Quakers,
sthemarriage of their members to per-
ons who are not Mennonites.

It tmay be the opinion of the Gin.
einnati Enquirer that a real farmer
has but little show TO be elected Treas.
urer of State over Democratic poll
tician, but the farmers of Ohio and q
great many other intelligent people
think differently. Mr.. Welch has
been all his life and still is practical
agrieulturalist, but he is the last man
to make a parade of that fact, and
that is why we have taken pains to
mention it. A better representative
Of the farming interest could not be
found, nor a better Treasurer. His
administration of that Office for one
term has shown him to be a man OF
rare business capacity, with an un-
common fund of good hard sense.
The farmers of the State will show
their appreciation of these facts when
the time for voting comes.-ICOlum-

Vermont must be the mBanner
State" as regards the condition of its
finances. The debt of the State is
only $l96, 6,649, while the Treasury
contains almost quarter of a million
dollars, and is credited with a large
amount of uncollected taxes. The
current liabilities of the State are on
ly about thirty thousand dollars, the
government is economical, and it has
no Tweeds in prospect. Last year
$50, 800 of the debt was paid. 1t seems
possible for Vermont to rid herself OF
ell debt in year or two, and If things
so on this way, it will soon have q
surplus fund, the interest on which
will pay the cost of government, and
taxes will be abolished.
