/. O. q. T.

According to previous notice the
Seneca Co. Lodge l. o. G. T. convened
in Hall of Melmore Lodge on Wednes-
day, Oct. 29th. Owing to the unfa-
vorable weather the attendance was
not as large as was anticipated, yet
all present were well pleased with the
exercises. A public meeting was
held in the afternoon. Rev. T. ].
Bacher, of Fremont; o., made the
opening address upon the relation OF
Temperance to the Church and State.
The speaker proved In plain and inn
pressive manner the corrupt state of
the political world, caused to great
extent by the liquor traffic, and the
necessity and duty of all friends Of
temperance and truth to exercise
their political strength in effecting q
reform. Rev. 1. H. Tompkins fol-
lowed with an able address upon
questions relating to temperance and
the useless habit of using tobacco.
Remarks were also made by Messrs.
Dwire, Stinchcomb, Freeze and Ben
ham in regard to the best means of
securing more interest in the temper
ancs movement. The exercises were
iDterspersed with music furnished by
members of the MeImore Lodge, and
ali passed off very pleasantly. Notice
OF the time aud place ol the next
meeting will be given in due season.
1t Is the intention of the executive
committee to make these County
Lodge meetings as interesting and
edifying as possible, and thereby es-
tablish true public sentiment and
drive from our county that curse to
humanity, viz Intemperauce.

But the Dimekratics friends w re-

remember constantly that these men
hevn't the money that they wunst

THE RESOLUTIONS

WHEREas, Tie liberties iof tiiis
country are bssed upon, and car. only
bs maintained by, the intelligence OF
Its citizens; to this end it is necessary
that all classes should be educated un-
der one common Law, in order that
ideas may not be iDculcated detrimen-
tai to the interests OF the nation; and,
WHEREAS, Persistent efforts have
been and are being made to destroy
our common school system by diYi-
sion Of the public money for the ben
eft Of sect; and these attempts will
undoubtedly continue until Il ey sue
coed or are utterly defeated; and,
WHEREAs, Large sums Of public
money have been donated, grants Of
public land made, and special laws
enacted by our public authorities, in
favor OF various churches and seetar-
ian institutions; therefore,
Res0tUed, That we view with alarm
the appropriation CT public moneys to
the support Of fdenominationsl schools;
and y, to prevent this, sll schools
must be excluded from any share Of
the public moneys that are not under
the control and management of the
public school authorities. We, demand
such exclusion. 5i lilEf
iResolped, In order that our aoona-
mon school system may become na-
tional, and may be placed beyond the
reach OF its enemies, we are in favor
Of incorporating its general principles
in the Constitution of the United
States, so far as to secure education
to the youth of the whole country.
Res0lued, That we are in favor Of
making, by law, education-sufficient
to produce intelligent citizens-eom-
pulsory.
Rosolued, That we earnestly desire
all those who are In favor of the prin-
ciples herein enHnciAted, to place
themselves In such q position that
they may be enabled to carry them
into effect. EErF FE3
ResolVed, That we hereby pledge
Ourselves not to vote for any person
for official position who is not in fa-
vor Of maintaining and developing
our common schools, or who will not
oppose the appropriation Of the public
funds to or for any sectarian purposes
whatever.

FARMEEA' ORANGES Oh PArRoNs or
HUSBANBRY.


We care not what name the Farm
ers chooss to call their organization,
we are In favor of the society II IL Is
properly conducted. Physicians hold
regular annual meetings. Shoena-
kers, Coopers, Hatters, Printers, Tall
ors and Others have regular orgsnizI-
tions talthough we cannot approve of
the manner In which many Of them
are o0nducted) SO we cannot see any
good reason why Farmers should not
meet together for mutual improve
ment and benefit. In all organiza-
tions OF that character are some hot
headed men who advance ideas which
areuntenable, and even idiotie, but We
believe that the Patrons of Husband
~ will accomplish greas good.

Wood County is preparing for
another county-seat contest. BJwi-
ing Green has the county-seAt now,
the new buildings, and is near the
center OF the county; but it has no
railroad. Perrysburg had the 1unty-
seat but lost it on vote Of the people.
That place wants it again and the
next Legislature will be called upon
TO pass an enabling act, that the pso-
pie may vote again upon the question.
It was that fight thSt defeated the
Republican candidate for R REPRESENTA-
tive In that county. There is much
bad blood between Perrysburg and
BDwling Green and the end is not
yet.

Yours truly,
FRANK FLACK.
z. s. II 1 get chance to meet you
on another road will expect to get 8
haul over but not over haul.
In explanation of the above, We are
informed that Flack and Anger were
contractors, and that they had a large
force of men under them. They drew
the July estimate of 81, 500. 80 at De-
fianee for work done August 22I and
left.as it was supposed, for Hicks vile.
Instead of going there they left that
night for parts unknown, Flack writ
ing the letter we have given above.
The term overhaul" used is for extra
work not laid down In the contract,
and for which it Is not customary for
contractors to be paid for until the en-
tire work Is completed and they then
would have been paid. Upon this
word FIaek pins a joke. These scoun-
drels carried away with them over
81 500, and left behind debts due their
hands and others ofover s., 900. There
is now on file at the office of the Com
pany in this city about one hundred
and forty attachments against these
men for the sum Of So, 451. Col. John
son informs US that the Company will
be enabled to satisfy part of this in
debtsdness by the per cent. the COM
pany always reserves from estimates
Of work and which is not paid until
contracts are completed. The loss to
the labOrers will be considerable and
the swindlers would fare hard in their
hands.
