THs Repository had nothing to say last
week about "Schaefer and McGregor,
secession, &c Our article of the previous
week must have been satisfactory We
showed that the Repository was correct in
saying Mr.. Schaefer was u secesslonlst
during the war, but in error in CHASING
"McGregor' as such, referring to Schaefer
aeoedtag up the alley and not even inviting
"McGregor" to go along, 1t would seem
that the Repository Louschaefer ring are
dried up on this subject. We shall bt
glad, when called upon, to furnish them
correct information upon any of these
questions. History should be correctly
and fully presented, and that is ever
what we aim to do. A man that in ex'
citable, gets scared and runs up an alley
cannot be relied on to give correct and
,-ull reports. We therefore caution oul
neighbors against trusting the Wanting
and self-laudatory accounts their leader
gives of himself. He is not reliable and
safe, as the citizens Of Canton well know
We tell Mr.. Bascom to be careful of apes
Voltaire's ape would even bite his master
savagely at tines. A very uncertain

THE FAIRMoNT CHILDRRN's HOME.
TROUBLE AMONG THE MINERS AGAIN

There seems to be trouble again in the
Tuscarawas Valley among the miners.
J. j. Wagner, of Akron, made arrange
ments, Il short time since, with a number
of Swedes from the Shenango Valley to
90 into the Franklin Coal COmpany's
mines, near New Portage, but on bring
ing them to the mines he found the
strikers ready and determined to resist
the plan. The Swedes would not ven
ture into the mines, even when guarded
by police, and the project had to be
abandoned for the present. An auOny-
nous letter was thrown into the window
of the company's Office, recently, which
made threats of violence if the new men
were put into the mines. The affair as
vet remains in an unsettled condition.

New School Churches in the South. The
New School Churches in the South sep

previous to the war, and before Old The

of the schism in each case, At the close
of the war these two organizations in the
South united, taking the name Of the
"Presbyterian Church in the United
States of America" The church has now
about 10000 members.
The Cumberland Presbyterian Church

SUPERINTENDENT HOVE OF THE
REFORM 81 HOOL.

Governor Allen has appointed a Mr..
Harper, vics Mr.. Howe, as Superintend-
ent Of the Ohio Reform Farm. Mr.. Howe,
Howe ever, denies the authority of the
Governor to displate him, and has ap-
pealed to the law. The Springfield
Transcript refers to ismatter as follows
"Gov. Allen did not turn Superintend
ent Howe out of Office, but should have
done 30 some time ago. HOwe's term OF
Office expired, and Mr.. Harper was APP
pointed. This appointment is among
The best that has been made, as Harper
is acknowledged upon all sides to be well
fitted for the place. AS ;or Howe-there
is too much of Howe. At a salary OF
$1,000 per annum he has quartered a
large lot of his relations upon the State.
Looking over u late report of the Com
missioners of the Reform Schools, we
find that &. Worth Howe, Il. q. Howe,
Francis NJ. Howe, c. G. Howe, Frank
Howe, and Mrs F. Howe are each pen
stoned by q salary upon that public in
stitution. Howe may be good official,
but we claim that his family connections
are entirely too nu nerous."

A SECOND ward woman was pulling
up carpet on last Tuesday, and just
as she jammed tack into her thumb, a
big rat bounced out of corner and ran
over her foot across the room. This was
enough to make almost any woman
scream and swoon, but she didn't. She
simply rushedi int another room, jumped
on to cable and yelled for fan and
three bricks, and when she got them, she
threw The fan at the servants head and
began waving Il brick to and fro in front
of her redeemed face. Such deliberate
coolness in a time of danger is highly
commendable in a woman, and her name
deserves to he given to the community
for admiration. But we desist, az there
are more bricks about the house.

An Extravagant Taper.

Here is a story which paints
the portrait Of old Baron
Rothschild. They were playing,
at Marquis d'Aligre's a genu-
inc financier's game, that it is to
say, for very small stakes.
The Marquis was losing. He
threw a louis on the table, which
rolled on the floor. The Mar
quis dropped on all fours
to look for his money, dis
turbting everybody and delay
ing the game, Baron de Roths-
child was dealing. "a louis
lost!" he said, ''that is worth
looking for;" and putting on 'an
expression of deep anxiety, he
rolled up a thousand franc note,
lighted it at the candle, and
held it to assist Marquis dali
gre. in his search. The whole
character of the old gentleman
was in this action. He was
aYaricious of his pennies, but
he would sacrifice thousand
franc note to do any one a favor
or get a laugh on him.
