rOEERNOG NorEs.

In \ speech in Hamilton, on Thurs
day last, Gov. Noyes referred to the
charges Of the Cincinnati EnqIirer in
reference to his acts while Probate
Judge in that county, as follows:
After speaking Of the two Democrat
ic candidates for Governor, and OF the
contrast between that branch which
showed such names as Caldwell, Pagb,
Collins, Ewing and Groesbeck, he
dwelt upon there being no necessity
for a division of the Republican par
", and in proof read the report Of the
Democratic committee of the House,
Of which Gen. Ball, of Muskingum,
was chairman Of which, after session
of four months, was unable to find in
the government of the State any in
dicatiOu of dishonest practices. Ol
the recent attacks I'm the Enquirer, hs
said there was nothing too mean OF
low for that paper to charge against
him. Three years after he had retired
from the Office Of Probate Judge, II
paraded daily In its columns charges
Of stealing in Office. He eunhesitating'
Iy denounced one and all of them In
| famousIy false, and he would chal
Ienge any Democratic lawyer in Ham
ilton County to snbstantiate thest
charges, or say that his fees in any
single instance were dishonest or i'm
proper. That paper is full Of sneer.
against the legless and armless sol
diers of the war, whom it charges witt
hiding official thieveFy by 3 display
Of their misfortunes. He asked IL tht
Democratic families in Butler wer'
represented in unknown graves or
Southern battle fields, If their SON
or brothers carry sleeves and legles

THE BALTIMORE 6 OHIs RAILRsAH

At the monthly meeting OF the d.
rectors Of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road, held on the 10th inst, the fol-
lowing statements were submitted In
regard to the Chicago Extension and
the efforts making upon the eastern
end to relieve the pressure caused by
the heavy shipments Of grain from
the West
The iins of the Chicago extension IS
far as DeshIer, 62 miles from the Lake
Erie Division, will be completed in
November next, at which place, con-
nection will be made with the Dayton
& Michigan Road, and an outlet for
the great grain market of Toledo pro-
vided. It is expected that the open
ing of this line will attract to Balti-
more q very large amount OF cereals
which have heretofore found q mar
ket in New York. The entire gradu-
alton and masonry Of the Indiana Di-
vision, It is believed, will be complet-
ed this year, and the Road finished to
Chicago in 1874. The work upon the
third track east of Piedmont, and the
second track between Piedmont and
Grafton, has progressed steadily and
satisfactorily during the pastsummer,
as has also that upon the additional
elevators at Locust Point. The vast
and increasing quantity Of grain con-
stantly coming forward from the
west to the seaboard demand the ear
lest practicable construction OF this
Improvement, and every effort is
therefore being made TO hasten Its
completion.

CLYDE, o., Sept. Is, 1873.
The children and friends Of Amos
Fem, an cid and respected citizen Of

Father Fem was born In Litch-
field county, Connecticut, and came
TO Ohio, June 18th, 1917, landing at
Sandusky City, where he helped to
build the first frame house that was
put up in that place. He soon after
moved near what Is now the village
Of Clyde, but was then called Ham
mer's Corners, where be has lived ev-
er since. He was ordained q minister
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
Sept. 4th, IS42, by Bishop T. A. Nor
ris, and he filed the pulpit with hon.
or and respect until old age prevented
him from doing so. His children ap-
preeiating the love and parental care
Of q kind father, made him q small
birthday present, which was present.
ed. to him by J. w. Wing, wi tn the
following remarks:
FATHER FENN-We, your children
and friends, have met here this day to
commemorate your 60th birthday,
and as token Of respect for our hon.
Orable sire, have chosen to make you
this smsn present of q hat, a pair Of
gloves, and this amount of money to
buy you suit Of clotbes-amountinQ
In all to $50. We do not wish you to
measure our hearts by the amount of
this present, fer can assure you,
that we, one and all, feel q reverence
for you for the honorable and honest
course You have pursued in your past
life; and when I say honorable and
honest, I only say that for which YOU
have the official record to show; for
when man Is elected to q place OF
honor and trust and gets his commits
sion, that Is an official recent for his
honor and honesty; and this belongs
70 you, you having been elected and
filed the Office of q Justice Of the
Peace for IL years. J. in saying this,
only reiterate what all your acquaint-
ances know. Hoping you will accept
this present as token OF our respect,
and hoping that kind Providence will
prosper you in all your honorable un-
dertakings, and keep rs all to meet
again on similar occasion, we will
part for this time, keeping each other
and this day in grateful remembrance.
Father Fem responded in a few
most affectionate and appropriate re.
marks, after which those present de-
parted, having enjoyed pleasant re-
union. A FRIEND.
