The Committees on Claims,

Our readers are well aware, that
Hon. J. Q. Smith had a position on
the Committee on claims, and in the
work of that c ommitte he made fine
impression on his fellow members
The following complimentary notice
of him was written by the clerk of that
Committee, and published in this pa
per, the Henry county (Ills.) CAront-
Gle, in an editorial speaking of the
Importance of the next Congress, and
the necessity of returning honest and
working men. We quote as follows
Il Clinton Republican.
"All that we have said in commen-
dation of Mr.. Burrows, we can repeat
with equal earnestness in commenda
ton of the Hon. John Quincy Smith,
Republican Representative from the
Third Ohio District. Mr.. Smith is a
farmer, and plain, candid, conscien-
tious, pains-taking, thoughtful man.
We have had equal opportunity to OBJ
serve him, and it is but the merest
justice to say that in the qualities
named he has few equals in the House,
and among the new members few
equals in position and influence, In
his service upon the committee of
claims his record Of attendance and
punctuality was only second to that of
the chairman, and his watchfulness
and eminent good sense were con-
stant safeguard against all fraudulent
and frivolous claims against the gov
erIment."

Hot weather the rage.
Farmers have commenced blowing for
wheat.
Bratton's hands have gone to Danville
Camp Meeting.
Work on the pike is advancing slowly
on account of hot weather.
The citizens of our town were aroused
by the cry of fire, last Friday morning at
about o'clock; the cause of the excite
ment being the burning of an old stable on
Main street.-the property of DR.. c. C.
Norman. When first discovered the fire
was under full blast, and 10 efforts were
made to stop it. The stable was situated
close to the 'Shade of Death,' and it is
thought by many that the fire originated
through the carelessness of some ot
Blades customers.
The following is 5 copy Of a petition
which was read to Mr.. Blade, the proprie
tor of the "Shade of Death:''
A PETITION.
We, the citizens of Martinsburg and vi
cinity, knowing the evil influence of in
/
to cease the sale of the poison in ou
midst. We ask you to cease for the SAX
of our youth, who are liable to be dragged
into the baneful influence Of strong drink
for the sake of our aged, who will suffe
anxiety lest their children are being sunl
by the insinuating destroyer; for the SAX,
of our village, whose quiet we want no
disturbed by the revelings of drunken
men; for your own families sake, who cal
i'll afford to Withstand the influence o
strong drink; for the sake Of your owl
soul, which must bear guilt or rejoice il
hope, as you obey evil or cling to right. Il
the name of all that is lovely and OF goot
report among men, we beg of you to ceas
the traffic in the accursed thing.
This petition was signed by many of tn
citizens in the vicinity of town, and by al
the citizens in town to whom it was pre-
sented, except DIR. G. C. MOorman, Jane
Dill, Harrison Reese, George Dowell, Sam

We clip the following from the
Western Reserve Chronicle, whose
editor, WILLIAM RrrzEL, Esq, served
with Hon. j. Q. SMITH on the State
Board of Equalization. His opin ion
of our worthy member Of Congress is
entitled to weight, as he has personal
knowledge of his ability and fitness
for the position. Mr.. RTTEzEL says in
last weeks issue = Clinton Repuhli-
can.
"Thus far in the Congressional can
vass in Ohio about one-h half of the
Districts have held nominating con-
ventions, and we observe that both
political parties are decidedly inclined
to recognize the service of efficient
and faithful representatives by honor
ing them with denomination. In the
Clinton District Hon. j. Q. Smith will
no doubt receive the endors ement of
his constituents in the master of re-
nomination. It is important that Ohio
should maintain the high position in
the national congress which it now
holds by reason of the fact that for
many years its delegation has ranked
among the first in ability and expert
ence. Mr.. Smith is an industrious,
talented and reliable member-such a
man as his district may justly be
proud Of"
