Vocal Music in the school is now en-
livened by the sweet strains of q
splendid organ.
IEtnaville school pans out 80 scholars
the first day, and yet no Democrats
live up there-singular.
Alex. Brannum and wife have re-
turned home from an extended visit
through the Canadas and Eastern cities
much delighted with their trip. Mr..
B. says he saw the finest houses in pro-
Cess of construction in our own country
that the world Can boast Of. Be it
remem bered, however, our friend
Branhum is patriot in whom there is
no guile, and may be he is enthusiastic
if So-all power TO the man who hon
ers ''his own, his native land" He
says the magDifience Ofthe architecture
Of our public buildings in Washington
City, with its splendid appointments
and surroundings is an unanswerable
argument against Capitol removal.
Sensible, Welcome back old friends.
Prof. Bassett had another successful
rehearsal in the Presbyterian Church
Monday evening, OF his Jubilee sing
ers.
The four colored worthless who es-
sayed to turn the words of the Preach
er at the Colored church into Pistols
and Razors, paid each s1S,25 for Terror

One Of the most magnificent displays
we ever saw was on the day of the
Allen meeting in Bellaire. When as
G. P. R. James used to say, "a solitary
horseman wound his way" as kind of
"avaunt courier" to the St. Clairsville
Band as it passed through our streets.
When it got as tar down as Claylands
feed Store enthusiasum knew no
bounds, and our friend Adam Eberle,
under the inspiration of the moment
loaded Henry Clayland into his ice
wagon to keep Henry's ardor cool you
know, and erected over him Star
Spangled banner, and joined the splen.
did cavalcade, and away they went.
What, between the chilliness of the ice
wagon and Bill Aliens speech, Henry
has about concluded the Democratic
party is taking things coolly.
Per contra, an announcement was
made that Danford would speak in
Bellaire, from the same stand occupied
by His Excellency, William, and the
platforms of Martins Ferry, 1Etnaville,
Bridgeport and West Wheeling, are
crowded with people, seeking an Op-
portunity to hear him, and honor the
man who speaks for honest measures.
At least thousand people more would
have gone down to the Bellaire meet
ing, had accomm citations been afford
ed them. Leet says half of them were
'females,' but if they were any less
fee-male than he is, judging from his
account of the Republican meeting in
Bellaire, why they hold claim to re-
spectful attention in fee simple, indeed.
Well bet ten to one Pnltney and
Pease townships give large Demo
cratic majority each. Since the Allen
meeting at Bellaire, Republicans have
vanished into thin air. Why, certain
ly, ,Pease township will surely go DEM
ocratic! But wouldn't it seem little
strange after all, if somebody would
wake up on the morning after the Oc-
tober election, vainly asking for the
man who hit Billy Allen! But Pease
won't do it-no, Pease is civil rights
township. The eighth plank of the
Democratic platform, viz: Water is
good for navlgable purposes only" like
all the other planks, is nearly played
OUT heeling Creek and the Ohio
River and the Democrats, are all about
dry.
We repel, with Indignation, the gen.
tie insinuatiOn that the venerable Will
liam Aliens face is colored by the
light wine he drinks it is simply an
inflated reflection of his under-shirt.
With friend Leet's consent-but
wasn't that an enthusiastic Danford
meeting at Bellaire on Saturday night.
Much damaged wheat is offered and
refused in our market.
The many friends of our good friend
Geo. Bartholomew, will be glad to
learn he is about ready to be about
again, from a violent attack of disease.
With difficulty he got home from camp
meeting on account of serious illness
but we rejoice with him in his recovery.
Henry BIandy, in the blandy'st
terms conceivable, will Blandly pre-
tend to tell workingmen of Belmont
county, of the Establishments of the
moneyed aristocrats of the land as
against the laboring men. The Blandy
saw mill never cut a more feather
edged slab than the one that floats
around with small amount of small
bark on it. What an insult to the in
telligent working men of Ohio to pan
such chaps as Cary, Dick Trevel-lick
and Henry Blandy, to assume to en-
tighten them.
