BATTLE OF SHILOH.
BY MABEL Z. HASTINGS.


Night closed In so dark and dreary,
After the battle was done,
And the soldiers 80 faint and weary,
Wept over the victory won;
For many "A brother had fallen
There yielded their lives at q blow;
Who answered their banners shrill calling,
Were victims at bloody Shiloh
Oh many mourning household,
And many weeping heart,
Gave ono from the loving threshold,
Aud saw him 10 sorrow depart;
Yes, gave them the tender hand token,
Que kiss on the lips healthy glow,
And now is the golden chain broken,
BY the battle OF Shiloh.
Rest, soldiers Of National honor,
Ye fell In glorious fray,
For Freedom with not stain on her
Still reigns in her own regal way.
'Tis true there is breaking hearts daily
That victory gave many blow;
Yet our banner is waving gayly,
Won proudly at fatal Shiloh

N0rthwe estern Ohio Teachers AssO-
clatiOn.-The sixth annual session of the
Northwestern Ohio Teachers Association
will be held in Findlay, on Tuesday and
Wednesday, December 2Sth and Goth. The
FiRdlny Jetcrsonian says this association
was organized at Carey, six years ago, and
at that time comprised the teachers of only
five counties. The membership of the AS
sociation has steadily increased, and now
it embraces the teachers of about twenty
counties. The last session was held at Up
per Sandusky one year ago. At that ses-
sion it was determined to hold the one Of
1875, at Mt. Blanchard, but afterward the
executive committee changed the place Of
meeting, to Findlay. The coming session
will be one of unusual interest and import
anee, as several vital topics connected with
the present System of education will be
presented and discussed.

come in possession of an old Family Bible,
which besides being very valuable lega-
cy to him, from its family history, is in it.
self a very interesting relic of a. hundred
years ago. 1t was printed in l770 and was
the property OF his grandfather, having
came into his family in 1885, The old
volume next fell to Mr.. Collins father and
has been carefully preserved by the latter,
and contains the records of his own family
in addition to those of his fathers. At his
death, only last week, he bcqueathed the
book to Mr.. Thomas Collins; Jr., for his
aamesake. Tne family are natives OF
Wales, and the book is printed in the
Welsh language, bound in calf, and il any
one doubts that the leather is calfskin, the
hair is still there to swear by. This arti-
Gle is written partly in the interest Of tile

them on the track Of at least one very ap-
pre- pirate, as it is an interesting mark of a
century ago.-I6lcdo CJmmereidl.

TO THE PUBLIC.

Upon occupying g our New Brick Block
and entering npon the New Year, we de-
sire to enter upon a netc era in the manner
of doing business. We therefore give no.
tice that from and after Jan. l, 1876, we
will only sell for Cash or its equivalent.
To our friends and patrons we say that
book accounts with us are among the
things that were. In thus changing our
mode of doing business, we are only actu-
ated by desire not only to benefit our
selves, but also our friends and customers,
who will receive the benefit of lower prices
and will not be compelled to go elsewhere
to buy goods cheap for cush. When we
started into business, over twenty years ago,
the county was comparatively new; farm
ers and others needed help in the way of
credit. The prosperity of all classes of
people since, does away with the necessity;
most are able to pay for goots needed as they
go along and sau, money thereby. Thank
ing our old customers, ,vaose names on our
books have become "household words" for
all favors, we trust we shall continue to see
thsir faces whenever in want of goods we
will make it for their interest to buy of us.
Shall pay cash not only for grain, bat for
butter and eggs, and all country produce.
N. BAH accounts must be settled at
once. +. II. MILLER & Co.

SPAIN AND UNCLE SAM.
Reply of the Spanish Government to
the Note of Minister Gushing
Everything Conceded Us.

New YORK, November 16.-Ths Her
AIDS Washington special, dated yesterday,
says: 1.-THE reply of the Spanish government
10 the note OF Minister Gushing was promptly
transmitted by cable to the State department.,
ana deciphered there this morning. 1t proves
to be a dignifled response to the demands
which our government made in the matter I
American interests in the Island of Cuba, and
WILL it is believed, dissipate all fears of trouble
between Spain and the United States. The
tone of the reply is firm but very conciIiatory.
The confusion of affairs in Cuba obstructs
the exercise of an impartial and
prompt administration of the requirements
OF the treaty of 1875. spain defends her right
TO maintain court-martial in Cuba, and cites
in support of her position on this question
the fact that the United States for a loDg time
subsequent To the late war of secession, and
France for two years succeeding the triumph
OF ths republic over the commune, and even
then, under the mild reign of Thiers made
use of similar military and of extraordin-
airy tribunals to deal out Justice to the public
and civil enemies. In the case of France these
tribunals sentenced to be shot or transported
to Cayenne over two thousand persons and
these tribunals exercised their functions after
the close OF the war and the advent of com
plete peace. Therefore Spain, in the midst of
her war in Cuba, maintains the right of using
The cOurt-martial TO try offenders against her
laws, bat readily makes the concession that
American citizens can have their advocates
or attorneys and produce witnesses in their
own behalf, conformable1o the provisions of
article seven of the treaty OF lZ35 and accord
ing to the regular course Of proceedings in
such cases, and gives guarantees OF such a
mode of defense. OF course N the case of
Spanish subjects no exception will be made
which will allow them the enjoyment of
this advantage in defending themselves
against prosecution by spanish authorities
for their offenses. In these cases advocates
Will be designated by the chief military au.
thoTities-that is, the captsin-general will ap-
point them" The above is q tull synopsis of
the answer of the Spanish government in re-
ply to Mr.. Gushing, and has been deem ed
Satisfactory enough to warrant the counter
manutng OF orders originally given to put our
navy in prep aration for such q contingency
as a misunderstanding between the two gov
eInments.
