The fantasies we're very laughable.
A. B. Kelly, Esq, read the Declare.
tion of Independence at the grounds.
Rev. Elliot made the principal speech,
which was well received. A good
deal of bug juice was destroyed dur
irg the day, bat We only heard Of one
fight, the participants in which we're
promptly lodged in Jail. On Dutch
Hill the usual celebration occurred,
also n knock.down or two.
The jury in the Beecher-Tilton
trial failed to agree, and were dis
charged. They stood nine to three in
favor Of acquittal. About the close
of the trial two persons named Leoder
and Price were brought forward, with
affidavits to the effect that they had
seen enough to condemn Beecher. 1t
is now discovered that these wretches
swore to deliberate lies, and it is as.
serted that Moulton put up the job.
If this is proved to be the case, Beech.

We had the pleasure Of reading
letter from VIM. Dimond, formerly
of this place to our Deputy Postmas-
ter. Mr.. d. anil family are we'll. The
crops are first class, and the mrvest
will be abundant. The grasshoppers
are about played out. The Blue Hills

ers the result of his investigations.
Let us hear from you on the subject,
William.
Mr.. Paul Blute, of Lacytown, has
just returned from Cincinnati, where he
has been disposing of some lumber,
square timber, &C., for Mr.. Bond. He
reports the market very dull, and fur
ther, that lumber can be brought into
Cincinnati from the Lake Shore, at
lower figures than Allegheny lumber
can be sold at to save the manufactu-
rers. We don't anticipate very live
ly lumber business in this region the
coming winter.
-Mr. Hamilton Stow and wife, for
several years residents of this place,
but more recently of Cincinnati, have
paid our town visit of nearly two
weeks duration. During our residence |
of nearly eight years in this place we
have never heard Mr.. Stow spoken of
except in terms of commendation.
He and his good lady will be cordial
ly welcomed whenever they can make
it convenient to visit our town.
AT a meeting of the congrega-
tion of the Presbyterian church on
Wednesday evening last, Rev. w.
Elliot was recalled for the ensuing
year. The call was unanimous, and |
will undoubtedly be accepted. AT !
the same meeting Col. p. d. Thomas, |
A. B. Kelly, ESQ., and Mr.. G. w.
Robinson were unanimously reelected |
trustees for the ensuing year.
We want another candidate for
Auditor, aud ave want good man.
This, to the taxpayers, is one of the
most important county offices within
the gift of the people. There is not
a fortune in it, but we should look to
the country's good, not to the salary.
Mr.. Neill will undoubtedly be elected,
and will make a good Auditor.
Russell Errett has been selected
as the Chairman of the Allegheny Re-
publican County Committee, which
has just been appointed. This is an ex-
cellent selection, as he is thoroughly
capable Of organizing the party, aud
a vigorous contest.
