THE MT. PLEASANT BOARDING

against the Wilberites, better known
in law as the Hoyle and Binns parties.
Sincs the decision the Binns party has
made a demand of all the property
both real and personal, ON the prem

decision was only for the real estate,
and that they have right to and did
remove all the personal property that
they brought there since the separa-

The worthlessness of Democratic
promises is shown in the fact that, two
years ago, the Democrats North and
South, were supporting Greeley upon
an equal rights platform; now the same
Democrats are clamoring for an exclu-
sive white mans government. The
pretences they made, then, of being in
favor of equal civil rights were all false
as every pretence of theirs, In favor of
what Is right, 10 likely to be.

THE election returns throughout the
State indicate that the new Constitu-
ton is defeated by large majority.
ALI the separate propositions are also
defeated by heavy majorities, with
probably the exception OF license. In
the large cities considerable majorities
have been given in favor Of license, but
the rural districts show strong hand
against it, enough-so we think-tc
overreach the city vote.

Bridgeport, Ohio.

Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
1t removes all eruptions and dandruff,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
By its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In badness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create new growth, except
in extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap-
Fearance. A. A. Hayes, Md, State
Assayer of Massachusetts,, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and l
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"

The Election ip the County.

The election passed off quietly in al
parts Of the county, and with little ex-
citement, with probably the exception
of Martins Ferry, where there was a
little breeze created in the evening,
when some one attempted to take a
ticket from q man who was about to
vote it. The disturbance was not Sc.
rious one however.
An analysis OF the vote will show
that the Democracy stood almost solid
against the new Constitution, and q
large majority of them in favor OF IL
cense-and that nearly the entire pro
hibition vote, together with many
earnest temperance Republicans voted
against the new instrument, for fesl
of the adoption of 'license" clause.

West, in December, 1870, young girl
whom Mr.. Tilton had taken into the
family, educated and treated like an
own child, cher testimony, 1 understand
is before the Committee was sent to me
with an urgent request that 1 would
visit Mrs. Tilton at her mothers. She
said that Mrs. Tilton had left her house
and gone to her mothers, in conse-
quence of ill treatment Uf her husband.
She then gave an account of what she
had seen of the cruelty and abuse on
the part of her husband, Mr.. Tilton.
That shocked me, and yet more when,
with dOwncast look, she said that Mr..
TiltOn had visited her chamber at
night, sought her consent to his wishes.
Immediately visited Mrs. Tilton at
her mothers residence, and received
an account of her home life, and of the
despotism of her husband, and OF the
management of a woman, whom he
had made hOusekeeper, which seems
like nightmare dream. The question
was whether she should 90 back, or
separate forever from her husband. l
asked permission 10 bring my wife to
see them, whose judgment in all do
mestic relations thought better than
my own; and accordingly second Wis.,
it was made. The result of the inter-
view was that my wife was extremely
indignant toward Mr.. Tilton, and de-
clared that no consideration on earth
would induce her to remain an hour
with man who hod treated her with
a hundredth part of such insult and cru
city. l felt as strongly as she did, but
hesitated as always do, at giving ad-
vice in favor of a separation. The next
day, when ready to go, she wished a
final word; but there was company and
the children were present, and so ]
wrote on scrap of paper, 81 incline to
think that your view is right, and that
a separation and a settlement efsupport
will be wisest, and that i'm his present
desperate state her presence near him
Is far more likely to produce hatred
than her absence"
Mrs. TiltOn did not tell me that my
presence had anything to do with this
trouble, nor did she let me know that
on the July previous he had extorted
from her confession ofexcessive afYec-
ton for me.
