The New York Saotsrei,anJ, u leading Ger
man Democratic paper Of New York, has thi.
to say Of the Ohio Democracy
"The Cincinnati VolksG-stmd has the naivette
to remind us that we must not imagine the De-
mncracy Of Ohio to be like the New York De-
mocracy. 1t is true the Democracy OF Ohio has
not had the opportunity to show its corruption
as the New York Democracy las done. But IT
has demonstrated its lack OF principle as no 9th.
er Democratic organization in the United States
has done. Its bourbonism, its greenback swim.
die, the participation of its congressional repre-
sentatives in un Democratic aud corrupt meas
ures OF all kinds brand the present assertions
al such colossal lies that the people of Ohio
will never again dream of cnn6ding in this mis-.
cradle concern. as it would be certain to un,
mask itselfas did the New York Democracy SO
soon as it came into pnwer The New York
Sfddtsziefung does not ask Of the $50 900 (2)
Democratic voters Of Ohio that they now fer the
first time declare them selves politically bank
rupt. They did this last year, when they abb
dicated in favor Of the Liberal Republican firm
OF Greeley Il Co. The bankruptcy Of a politi-
cal party does not consist in its formal dissolu-
tion, but by betraying by its actions, tile priuci
cipls objects which justified its existence, aud
thereby causing the people to turn their faces
from it. IN his sense he Democratic party has
been bankrupt since 1879, at least

Of Democrat who has been interviewed on the

which is which. In fact, don't know anything

equally sound Democrats as Pugh and Groes-
beck take directly opposite directions what am
TO do? Where am to go? never was any-
thing but Democrat. ] never want to be any

FROM GUSTAV.

Ed. Journal Mrs. Hattie Kirk, Of this

oath that ona Jasob Bucher, Of Milton Center,
was selling intoxicating liquor, contrary to law,
and keeping nuisance. An order Of arrest
was issued and he was brought before his Hon

complainant and q. p. Thompson for defend
ant. The cause came on for hearing aud the
complainant proved her allegation true. The
defendant plead not guilty and was placed upon
the stand, but his attorney, @. p, forgetting lie
was IN The defense, made his client swear
against himself and in favor Of the prosecution,
so that u there had been no other testimony his
own would have convicted him. Then his as
tute Attorney forgetting himself again, got up
and made plea against his client, and began
to instruct his Honor how to render verdict
aud inhict punishment upon his client and
wound up his hRrangue by Withdrawing his
plea Of not guilty and pleading guilty to the
charge. Thercupon the Court proceeded to
pass sentence upon him according 10 law: That

cost Of prosecution, aud his place Of business
was declared a nuisance and ordered closed up.
The defendant also paid Mrs. Kirk twenty FIVE
dollars to compromise a suit Of damages and
entered into bonds of one thousand dollars not
to sell her husband any more intoxicating
drinks. We would advise attorneys not to be-
come so excited as to forget which side Of the

Our Fisheries as a Source of Wealth.


A correspondent of a Cincinnati paper. wri-
ting Of the fisheries OF Lake Erie says: There
are about 800 pound-nets between the mouth of
Cuyahega and Detroit rivers, which lake dur.
ing the fishing season average EACH of 200
lbs. per day. The ss~s"- g.. --L:.- GSiI begins
about the middle OF September and lasts about
sixty days. There is another season 10 the
spring Of sixty days. making 100 days IN alt
The 500 pound nets take 100 900 pounds OF fish
per day, aud in l20 days IL Op0 900 pounds Of
white fish alone, This is two-thirds of all the
tsh taken Except herring), so that there are IS,
600 1000 pounds oifsh with the above exception
The herring fishery lasts sixty days In the fall
only. In the year 1870, 10 900 barrels Of her
ring were sailed at SAnduskey alone. With
thii Immense amount of fish the market is not
glutted, nor is the limit Of production reached.
We labor in our fields, to produce food, hard
and often unsuccesslully. Here in the lake is
an unboudned supply TO be had for the taking.
Ths water Of the lake teens with life. Not on
ly in shallow water along the shore, but in the
deeper water in the other lakes than there is in
this lake, there is an amount of life both animal
and vegetable thatis surprising. Atthe bottom
waves a field of vegetation, and in every spear
of grass is animal life. In the mud is life
musses, and uther mnlluscs, insects, worms and
many low forms Of life creep, crawl, swim and
multiply.

Biggest Family on Record.

The Bedford Inquirer of a recent date
says: Benjamin and Catharine Trout
man, of Londonderry township, this
county, had sons and daughters, eigh-
teen. The father and eight of the chill
dren have gone to that bourne whence
no traveller returns. The mother, who
is about seventy-five years of age, and
weighs upward Of two hundred pounds
avoirdupois, still lives with her son
George in Londonderry township. The
ten children now living tip the beam Of
Fairbanks" to the tune of two thous-
and two hundred and fifteen pounds.
The respective force of gravity of each,
according to their last census, is as fol-
lows: -
George, who lives in Londonderry
township, AS pounds; Joseph, who
holds forth at Fair Hope, Somerset Co.,
220 pounds John, who resides in the
State of Indiana, 265 poulds in his shirt
Sleeves; Daniel. who lives in Kansas,
225 pounds; Adam, who is resident of
the ''Smoky City,. Pittsburgh, 24O
pounds; Sarah and Polly who reside In
this county, $40 and 200 pounds respec-
lively; Many, who lives in Maryland,
200 pounds; Be.sey, who has followed
the advice of the lamented Greeley and
"gone West" 200 pounds. The father
weighed $50 pounds, and the deceased
children ranged in weight from $50 to
225 pounds each. If anybody can beat
this let him raise and speak. i-.H

The President and Civil Ser.
a.. vice Reform. a.4.

The President is taking heroic po-
sition in regard to civil service reform,
and holding to it with most commenda-
BILE courage. People at distance little
know what a pressure is brought against
him from Congress to persuade him to
abandon the scheme. 1t requires great
courage for him, through the Postmas-
Ter General, to tell the Republican Rep
resentatives that he will not remove any
of the country postmasters on the re-
commentator of u Congressman, nor
even fill vacancy upon such request.
But the bravest step of all was that Ia
ken by him when he said that no efa-
eient officer should be removed because
he supported by Greeley in the recent
campaign. General Grant is evidently
in earnest in this matter, and he de-
serves great credit for it, but now is the
time for the people to stand by him, TO,
he will need all the support that the
public can give him. Selfish politicians
will endeayor to break down his schemS
unless they fear the people.

Circulating Malicious Reports.

If you find person circulating
malicious reports about his neigh
Dor, it may De set down as an in
yiolable rule that such person is dis
honest. Not only dishonest, but
from his Infamous disposition,
dangerous to all with whom he may
be acquainted. He circulates false
impressions and sets people upon
an erroneous course Of judgement
and conduct In respect to others,
which may frequently be ruinous to
tteir prosperity. 1t does a general
injury to society, more than to the
party injured, as it destroys conf
dences. The person who is guilty
of circulting malicious reports must
necessarily be decietful and there
fore dishonest. He must have aban-
doned every principle of moral feel
ing. In ancient times, when a man
was convicted of being a slanderer,
he was stoned to all as danger and
a curse to the whole community. In
modern times there is even a bet
ter remedy than this, to cease all as
sociation with such characters. Treat
them ike iepers, abandoned them
to their Kind, which is social
death, one by which they serve as
IN example to others. This rule is
observed, among all intelligent peo-
pie, and should be invariably carried
out till the desired object is accom-
plished. Z f7n's2c ir.-f1 'esfs
