AN UNEXPECTED SENSATION.
GRANT AsToUNDs HIS FRIENDS
WAsHIHGToN, June o.
A FIHAECIAL FLUTTER

WASHINGTON, June o.
FIRAECIAL FLUTTER
quite a sensation was created late to-day by
Senator Jones, Of Nevada, making public a
Presidential essay in favor of the Immediate
resumption OF specie payments and The virtual
reputation of the entire legal tender issue In
one year hence AT first no credit was given
to it, and it was set down as hoax got up to
alarm the currency conference committee but
when 1t was further examined into all doubts
OF its genuineness disappeared, and the official
announcement that the members of the con-
ference committee had been to see the Press
dent to get his views upon what he would al
ow to become law, the surprise increased
till at a late hour tonight. 1t is generally
conceded that all hopes of any compromise
are gone, and that there Is no use in further
waste OF time by Congress upon the currency
question,
coEOREsTIoNAL ACTION.
The conference committee met 10 day and
formally agreed to the bill as sent to THE In
QUIRER last night, and were to meet to-mOr-
row 10 have II formally signed allhaying con-
Cured except Mr. Clymer. What will be done
now Is uncertain, but the more currenay men

bill which either house will pass.
POLITICAL PERTURBATION.
Among the earnest Republicans there is no
little alarm at the political situation, now so
greatly imperiled by the Presidents course,

as TO the end no one here can form any con-

WESTERN RESERVE CoLLEGE.-A cor
respondent of the Cleveland Leader, in
speaking Of the celebration of Washing
tons Birthday at the Western Reserve
College says:
The main part of the celebration came
in the evening, and consisted Of the
us ual literary eXercises-rcadingo of the
farewell address, Grafton and poem-at
the chapel, followed by feast of cake,
coffee and cold meats in the halls of the
Phi Delta and Philozetian societies. The
poem read by Mr.. Robert j. Young of
the class of '76, was in every way fine
production. 1t was especially pleasing
in the united vlgor and smoothness of
the versification and the felicitous man
rier of leading up to the final denoue-
ment. 1t deserved and has ELECTED the
most hearty praise.
We are pleased to see this favorable
and well deserved compliment to our
young friend, Robert Justice Young.

ARE FERMENTED LIQUORS NUTRI-
II, Us s?-Prof. Liebig, the greatest OF
chemists, not foe to beer, said of Ba-
varian beer, which is considered the
most nutritious and best:
1--WE can prove with a mathematical
certainty that rs much -four as can lie
on the point of a table knife is more nu-
tritious than eight quarts Of the best
Bavarian Beer; that 4 person who is
able to consume daily two gallons of
beer obtains from it IN whole year eX-
actly the amount of nutritive constitu-
ents which is contained in five-pound
loaf of bread or in three pounds OF
flesh"
That is a man must drink twenty
three barrels of beer to get as much nu-
triment as in fiye-cent loaf OF bread or
three pounds of meat.

New Furniture.

The firm of Messrs. Taylor 6 Sharp,
has been doing good trade in the Fur
niture business. One of the firm is now
away buying a new stock, and in a few
days they will have their store rooms
packed with new styles. To those who
need new furniture, we would say, GO
to Taylor & Sharp, and examine their
stock. Their new goods will be on in a
few days, when our citizens will have a
chance of getting choice furniture at
very reasonable rates. Fine work they

TEMPERANCE REFoRM.-The work in
Millersburg goes steadily on. The la
dies have visited the saloons several
times during the past week, but as yet
without fully accomplishing their mis-
sion. One saloen has been closed. The
rest seem to hold out boldly and refuse to
stop selling until obliged to do SO by
the law. A stirring temperance meet
ing was addressed on last Friday even-
ing, by Rev. w. J. Sharpe, in Town
Hall. The meeting was largely attend
ed, and very enthusiastic. The temper
ance men have already raised a sum OF
over $1,000 for the purpose of prosecu-
tion, if necessary, which they will do'
unless these dealers refrain from selling
liquors. Daily prayer meetings are be-
ing held, which are largely attended,
and are growing in interest and deter
mination. The temperance force should
be augmented by public sentiment and
got well in hand, and every citizen
should comprehend the solemn respon-
sibility resting upon him or her. Great
and enduring results can only be real
lied by the hearty cooperation of all.
No parents, no business man, no one
who has the prosperity of the communi-
ty in view, or the future welfare Of his
children at heart, can refuse or hold
back i'm the movement. 1t is reform
in which great and momentous results
are to be sought, and if possible accom-
plished. 1t is matter of peculiar i'm
port to every father, every mother, ev-
cry daughter and every son of our sim
cursed town. 1t is reformation that af-
fects each and every one, and we hope
that the work may be thorough, and
may endure until not another drop OF
liquor or beer can be purchased in the
town of Millersburg, We make these
remarks without any hostility, personal
or otherwise, to the men now engaged
in the traffic in our midst, far from it,
but believing that they are engaged in
n ruinous business both to themselves
and to our citizens, and prejudicial to
the growth and prosperity of our town,
we desire to see them prevailed upon to
give up the soul destroying business
and engage in some legitimate under
taking, and become good and useful
citizens in our community. Believing
that the people generally have become
imbued with these ideas, and fully con-
vinced that the trade in liquor ought tt
cease, here as well as elsewhere, W.
shall look forward hopefully to tha
glorious time when not a single salooT
will be left to open its portals 10 th'
public, and when we can breathe th'
free air of heaven without the faint o
liquor to poison it, and men can reioie'
and hold up their heads in pride tina
tiey live in temperate and law-abid
ing town.

FATAL AccIDENr.-William Burrell
of Prairie township, blacksmith, by
trade, met with an accident on Monday
evening, about dusk, that caused his
death. He had gone out after supper to
cut down small hickory tree, not far
from his house, that had been broken
off by the storm about fifteen feet from
the tree off at the ground, but still it
did not fall. He then took a handspike
and pried it off, and the supposition is
that the jar threw him under the tree
which fell upon him, and broke his
neck. His boy was with him, who gave
the alarm. Deceased was about forty
nine years old.

A BUTTER SwINDLE--The KentOn
Republican says a method for making
butter and increasing the quantity by
it over with new milk, is be-
ing hawked about the country as a
great invention. We are informed by
judges, that the discovery is
one that will not bear the test, and will
be productive, if not guarded against,
of no little mischief. 1t does not i'm
prove the quality, but deteriorates it,
though it does in a measure increase the
quantity. This butter, We are informed
from reliable parties, will not bring by
from eight to ten cents per pound as
much in New York markets, as butter
made under the old system. Butter
buyers, of course, will be compelled to
test all butter bought by them and the
same reduction will be made in prices
as are made in New York, though but
ter made by this process as is not de-
sired by buyers at any prlce, as it only
tends to weaken prices and ruin the
butter trade. We therefore warn OIL
butter makers against the system, as il
will only have a tendency in the out.
come to do them harm, and result in
evil.
