The county candidates are making il quite
lively each for his opponent. 4 number Of
them met at Waynesburg . ast Saturday, and
engaged in spread-eage oraiory. One Of them
forgot his tactics and told the crowd that he
had passed through so many temptations dur
ing the late unpleasantness that his hair
turned gray prematurely; whereupon his
quick-wiItei opponent declared that he never
had a emptstion-noihing could tempt him,
etc. One Of the candidates had the aiirontery
to say that he uonied the oHicc to which he as

We have had our attention frequently call
ed 10 the rapid advancement Of the Young la
dies composing the music class of Miss Jessie,
at the stanford Female College, and il az.
for.lr Us pleasure to Acknowledge their attain
ments and endorse fully and rneILiyocally
the method of the accomplished teacher.
Very many young ladies who il properly
trained would make musicilas in the strict
sense Of the word, are annually turned out
| from our drst-class colleges with the mere
ability to finger few popular melodies Of the
simplest composition, and called musicians,
when they ART ignorant of the FIRST principles
OF the beautiful science, Under the manage
ment Of an accomplished aud thoroughly
competent instructor the music pupil is taught
the science of music first, and then allowed To
practice or advance in the mechanical execu.
ton, while the quack places the pupil upon
piano stool and teaches her 10 bang half
dozen peices during session, and leaves her
in almost total ignorance Of the rudimenis of
the art. II the patrons of the music dchart.
ment % Stanford Female College will exer-
else little patience, and the pupils win use
one-half the diligence in their studies aud
practice that their teacher gives in their in.
struction, we hops TO have nm elevation 10
the standard of music in this county that
will repay the time, trouble and expense.
We would not appear oiicious in matters
pertaining 10 the government Of our village,
but the necessity ior an instansysnoyil of all
dlih from our streets, alleys anl back pyemis-
es is 50 apparent that we must be permitted
to express the hope that our excellent board
OF City Fathers will give the matter immedi-
ate attention. II the decaying trsh and ey-
cry ves''re Of offensive garbage ia carfully re-
moved nom the town before the warm Spring
days come, We MAY con,ider our,clye. almost
pcrertly secure FROM the rayayes ofpc.lilcnce, /
otherwise We may calculate, with CERTAINTY, I
the re-appearance Of cholera next summer
Cleanliness is the anchor Of hope, upon
which We may rely with confidence; whereas,
the fifth that abounds in almost every alley, /
street, stable and back yard of the town, will /
most certainly prove disastrous to the health |
of the people. The Trustees would do a wise
thing were they to initiate the example of
some Of our neighboring towns, and invite
the physicians of the place to organize them
selves into board Of health, aud dictate upon
heigenic matters. We do not write upon this
subject because we have noticed articles in other
paper. in reference 10 il, or because We wish
TO he iorward IN debating 10 our Trustees, bet
SIMPLY Tor the feasun that We believe the
health Of our people will be ieopardized
II active sanitary regulations shall be neglect.
ed until Spring time We have M complaint
To make against our town authorities, for We
know them 10 be gentlemen who desire 20 dis
charge their duties, yet the too-oiien thank
less tasks imposed upon men cause them 10
overlook and neglect plain duties. They are
rs much interested in the public welfare as
any of US and the fearful and costly seourge
Of last year shonid teach Us to look we'll to
qua private and public grounds and build /,
ings.
