On our way home from Columbus, we
had spare hour at Logan, and in COM
pany with our old friends, Boardman of
Hillsborough. and Irwin of Portsmouth,
walked up into town from the depot.
We called at the offices of the Sentinel
and Republican, and were cordially re-
ceiyed by Green of the Sentinel. and
Montague of the Republican. We had
frequently met Green, but we had never
seen Montague. The latter says, in the
last Republican:
awe had the pleasure on Friday last of an in
PRODUCTION to and pleasant conversation with
D. Maekley, Esq, alias "Random Thoughts" of
tendance at the Republican State and Editorial
Conventions, at Columbus, and was with the
excursion down the Hooking Valley, stopping
over at Logan for short time to call upon
friends. He called at our office, and we were
agreeably surprised to find him a man in the
prime of life, frisky a young colt in clover
time, and not the old man, bent with the
weight of years, that we had been led to sup
pose. We mentally reviewed the newspaper
combats he has waged with brother editors.

A New System of Astronomy.
PHRENOLoGY SWEPT OUT OF EXIST
ENCE.

A few days ago l had the eomplacency
of conversing with preacher of the gos-
pei, who regards science and education
as "bore." On Saturday evening, June
9TH, he spoke in a church-house, one
mile east of -Raysville, known ss Frog
pond Church"
After church, while engaged in conver-
sation with this gentleman remarked
"Mr. jenkins, you was pretty hard on
grammarians and phrenologists in your
sermon"
He replied: Not any harder than the
Scriptures are. would like for you or
any other grammarian to solve this mys-
terry: What is the exceeding and eternal
weight of glory?'
tried in vain to explain to the igno-
ramus, that such questions do not belong
to grammar. and therefore could do moth
ing with it. He still insisted that 1
should solve this "theorem" by English
Grammar, as he knew it belonged to that
science. His congregation, or followers,
thought he had gained complete victo-
ry, and showed by their many "instinc-
tive signs" that they wished him to give
him a little more" His countenance
lighted up with the applause, and he
consented; turning furiously around, he
stung me with eloquence like this:
"And what do you think about the
mind being up here2" pointing to hi
forehead
Ireplied that 1 believed the brain t.
be the organ of the mind.
Don't the scriptures say that with th'
heart (placing his hand on his breast
) man believeth unto righteousness, an,
/ with the tongue confession is made unit
; salyation2"
Something like that, 1 believe"
"Well, that's jist what 1 believe.
| don't think the brain has anything TO d
!. with it. believe jist what the scrip
) lures say, and no more or less" Thu
r he proceeds.
/ There are persons who have great bi
: foreheads reaching out here in front, viii
, let it pull them foreward and downward
t till it tumbles them into the ditch.
; want you to know, my brothers and sis
ters, that the scriptures says that will
the heart man believeth and reasons anC
, not with the brain up here as some per
sons here would have you believe"
! He also denies, publicly, the theor.
, that the earth revolves around the sun
! and says that the sun, moon and stars

thoroughly disgraced by its leaders
charging each other with being bribed
to vote certain way on certain ques-
tions. and by proving these charges to be
true. They charged each other with
being common and uncommon drunk
ards, and none of them denied these
charges.
That these men were either drunk or
otherwise incompetent, appears from
their work For instance, on page 170
of the Statutes, is a law fixing the COM
pensation of county commissioners at

ties in which by the last Federal census

such ignorance. Also that the stars, or

ured to be of such great size, are
very small. He almost passes a
sentence of condemnation on any
persons who says they are OF any
such dimensions. He also breaches that
the atmosphere extends only about
miles above the surface of the earth. He
denies the truthfulness of science, and
thinks the earth and himself are about
all the things" worth looking at. He
breaches, publicly and privately. against
anything of a scientific and proves his

STANDARD-his theories. and enlighten
all of us poor country school teachers
on these important subjects, of Geogra-
ply, Astronomy, Geology, Philosophy,
&c, &c, in which he claims we teach

shows what industry, promptness, hon
esty and perseverance can accomplish.
Mr.. Rupp came to this place few years
ago with but scanty means, and now he
has one of the finest stove and tinware
establishments in this part of the State.
He has very large stock of the very
best patterns of stoves. CRATES, and ev-
erything in that line. His stock of tin
ware is all the time kept full. His rooms
are in Clark's building, on Main street.
Now is the time to get bargains in stoves
and CRATES, as the season is dull for those
articles. 1t will pay well to get your
supply for next winter now. Iron will
soon be up, and consequently all kinds
of castings will go up. Call and see Mr..

One of the resolutions of the Republi-
oan State Convention condemns the mo-
nopoly secured by the patent laws of the
United States. The Scientific American
attacks this resolution. We believe the
resolution is right. OF course no Repub-
lican will favor any infringement of vest
ed rights; but all new inventions should
be better regulated with reference to the
rights of users Now the inventor gets
the exclusive use of his invention for
seventeen years, and the time is often
extended By act of Congress. The Sci
entifc American cites the case of the
Champion Harvesters, manufactured at
Springfield, Ohio, but it neglects to state
how much this monopoly costs the farm
ers, over and above the cost of manufac-
ture and reasonable profit. Thousands
of sewing machines are sold every year,
for $75 to 500 each, that do not cost
more than $25. The balance goes into
the pocket of the patentee.

The Best Evidence.

The following letter from Rev. E. S. BEST'
pastor NJ. E. Church, Natick, Mass, will be reae
with interest by many physicians Also those
suffering from the same disease as afh1cted the
son OF the Rev. E. S. Best. No person can doubt
this testimony, and there is no doubt about the
curative powers of VEGETINE:
NATICK, Mass, Jan. 1, 1874.
MR.. II. R. STEVENS:
Dear Sir-We have good reason for regarding
your VEGETINE a medicine of the greatest
value. We feel assured that it has been the
means of saving our sons life. He is now sew
enteen years of age; for the last two years he
has suffered from necrosis of his leg, caused by
scrofulous affection, and was SO far reduced that
nearly all who saw him thought his recovery
impossible A council of able physicians could
give us but the faintest hope of his ever rally
ing, two of the number declaring that he was
beyond the reach of human remedies, that even
amputation could not saveshim, as he had not
vigor enough to endure the operation. Just
then we commenced giving him VEGET1NE,
and from that time to the present he has been
continuously improving. He has lately resum-
ed his studies, thrown away crutches and cane
and walks about cheerfully and strong.
Though there still some discharge from the
opening where the limb was lanced, we have
the fullest confidence that in a little time he
will be perfectly cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles oi
VEGETINE, but lately uses but little, as he de-
clares that he is too well to be taking medicine
Respectfully yours,
MRS. L. c. r. BEST.

murdered man and was acquitted.
There has been bitter feeling against
him ever since, and talk at times oil
