Read the following home testimony in
regard to its work in the field where it
has been put and subjected to the most
severe test:
RED Rock, July q, 1875.
This is to certify that we have this day
tried McCoRM1cK Harvester in orr
field Of barley. The barley was badly
lodged and twisted, and in places very
green. The Harvester has given us per-
feet satisfaction, cuts clean, clevates per-
fsctly and is Of easy draft for two horses.

The Ohio Editorial Convention.

The Ohio Editorial Convention which
met at Columbus, last week, was one OF
the largest gatherings of the kind ever
held in the State. The age, youth, tai
ent, wit, poetry and beauty of the edi-
torial fraternity were all represented.
We were, compelled to leave our friends
after their business meeting on Thurs
day morning at the Board Trade
Rooms. Our observation, without even
a taste of the many good things that
the programmes named for the enjoy
ment of the intellectual and physical
nature lead US to conclude that the citi-
zens of Columbus are bountiful in their
generosity and unexcelled in their hos
pitality. The representatives of the
Press of that city are jolly, whole-soul-
ed, princely gentlemen, worthy to
WELD the power that sways the world.
We hope to give our readers the reports
of gentlemen who were appointed es-
pecially to do justice to the various pub
lie and private institutions which come
under their observation during the edi-
torial meeting.
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1875-06-10

TAKING it for granted that the pro-
ceedings of the Republican State Con-
vention held at Columbus last week,
will be as interesting reading matter
as we can present our readers, we there
fore devote large part OF our space to
a full report of the same.
1t will be observed that our own tai
ented fellow citizen, Hon. L. Danford,
was the Temporary Chairnan of the
Convention, and right creditably did
he acquit himselfin the performance of
his duties. His speech upon the occa-
sion, was the keynote ofthe campaign.
1t dealt vigorously with the recent
outrages of the Democratic party in the
management of State affairs, and with
an incision that cut even to the divi-
ding asunder of the hollow shell OF
Democratic pretences, it exposed to ma
kedness the true character and objects
os the Democratic party. His remarks
ELECTED applause at the close of each
successive sentence, and kindled an en-
thusiasm in that Convention that will
be felt throughout the State until the
last ballot is polled in October.

MAKING UP FLEECES.-TLe way
wool is tied up, makes a difference in
the price it will command, as the fol-
lowing advice, which the Michigan
Farmer gives its readers, will testify:
The wool buyers prefer to have the
fleece loose, light to handle, and elas-
tic; and in Ohio, the woods of which
State are always quoted from two to
three cents higher than Michigan woods
of the same quality, the fieeceS are
rolled up, not packed, and tied across
twice one way and once the other, and
hence are loose, light and elastic. A
Jackson buyer, we'll known, who buys
large amounts of wool both in Michi-
gan and Ohio every year, tells us that
he can afford to give two or three cents
per pound more for the woods he buys
in Chic than those he purchases in this
State, solely because of the difference
in tying up in the two States; as he can
get more in the Eastern market for
woods that are put up in Ohio than he
can get for the Michigan wool, and
when, in fact, the Michigan wools are
sometimes the best in quality. The
proper way, he says, is to lay the fleece
on the table, turn in the head and tail,
and turn in the fanks, and roll it up,
commencing at the tail end, twine it
with two strings to keep the wool in
place, and then with one string across
the ends. This is sufficient. A fleece
thus tied is light, easily handled and
examined, and can be felt all through.
1t does not require thorough examin-
alton to determine whether there is
anything in it that is not wool.

UNEONTOWN.

The SURVEYORS and engineers OF
the Broad Gauge Railroad passed the
point nearest this town on Friuay last,
following the branch of the creek lead
ing to New Athens, Ohio. There are
three available routes, and we are in
formed that the route past this town
has been favorably reported without a
survey. AS it is assumed that the
company now mean business the pa
irons of the different lines are awaken
ing from their former Indifference and
the enterprise will meet with the
hearty cooperation of the citizens of
this locality.
DURING the recent storm the house
of DIR. S. Krim, in Athens, formerly a
citizen of this village) was struck by
lightning, but providentially no one
was seriously injmed. The lightning
entered the Office window, melting the
solder from dental plates, spilling Ii
guilds, and smashing jars and bottles.
The corner was broken off small ham
mer, and the interior of the office re-
sembled the breaking up of a hard win
ter. The doctor had passed down to
the room occupied by his family just a
few moments before the lightning en-
tered the window. A large tree near
the residence of Mr.. Joseph Ferguson
was also struck and his wife and little
children were severely shocked.
WE were favored with a glimpse of a
pair of Chester Whites rigs, recently
shipped from Pennsylvania, by Mr..
Peter Snedeker, and although our
knowledge of hogs is somewhat limit
ed, we would pronounce them real
beauties, and just such stock as every
farmer who delights in nice sausage
plants would desire to possess.
THE apple crop here is total failure,
but Mr.. John Gillespie states that OF
some varieties he will have a suficien-
cy. He is man to be envied.
w. S.-We do not consider that we
can be taken as authority in such mat
tiers. Our rule is to knock or ring at
the doors of all private residences, and
all other places where there is a dam
ger of intrusion or interruption. We
knock at the doors of school rooms,
photographers operating rooms, and
at offices where private consultations
are held, as between physician and
his patient, lawyer and his client.
You must use your own judgment in
such matters. Those who laughed at
you for knocking at the school room
door should first have considered the
modification of the teacher and the pu-
pills who were being punished, had
you entered without knocking.
