md fields of ice which lnenaced their
,hips and drove them from their
courses, ere startling in the extreme.
These fields of ice have been encoun
tered many thousands of miles from
their accustomed haunts and this &c
counts for the unusually cold weather
which has distinguished this Spring
and which has so seriously retarded
vegetation, and in this connection we
have an unfailing sign of an extrao: :
dinarv warm summer.
When the winter is very severe in
this latitude, the season is cores
pondinglv mild at the pole and, rice
r,ersa, when the winter is mild here,
it is propo-tiouately severe there. =
We may therefore, prepare for a hot
and dry summer, since the past win
ter at the pole has been so mild as to
detach the ieebergs and foes of the
Northern Zone so early in the season,
and the passage of these is being re
allied in the cold spell we have en-
dured OF late. The northern seas be
ing emptied of their accumuIations
of ice so early there will be none left
to temper our atmosphere during the
summer months. Had our winter
been a mild one, the ice would have
remained locked in the frigid seas and
would not have drifted by us until
mid Summer. Then it would have
contributed to our comfort when its
presence would be most welcome. As
it is, we must expect summer OF un-
usual severity. and since Huntingto.
mans cannot collect a few of those
ice mountains and anchor them in
the Ohio river just above and below
our city for sunmerpurpOseS, the next
best thing to do is to secure a good
stock of fans, light clothing and ice.

BRIDGEPORT.

Ferguson, Mead & Co., an enterpri-
sing firm of our town has just finished
piling one of the best assorted stocks
of Lumber ever brought to our place.
Such business energy as this firm is ex-
hibiting brings alike credit and pros.
perity to any place-and is, therefore,
worthy of due credit and publicity, and
we are glad to witness the tangible ev-
idence of their ability to grapple sue
cessfully with competition. They are
furnishing the new Centennial Hotel
at Bellaire, and shipped fine order of
prepared work to Parker City, above
Pittsburgh, and their mill is saving a
bill of 16O, 600 feet of superior lumber
for the Riverside Nail Mill, in Wheel
ing, besides extensive orders for work
all along the line. Some additions of
new machinery to meet the wants of
their trade, have been added, among
the rest resulting self-feeding ma
chine, taking in a 16-foOt board per
minute. Efficient workman are in
their house, and their yard is filled
with accommodating employees. We
know their orders are outrunning their
best directed efforts to keep up-still,
energy and industry will overcome
this pardonable obstruction, and bring
their legitimate reward. A firm like
this, that brings us its large contribu-
tion to our prosperity deserves, what
we are assured it is receiving, abund-
ant patronage and splendid success.
300, 900 feet of pine, 100000 feet Of
hemlOck, 800, 600 shingles, 300, 900 lath,
comprise material for their large trade.
We commend them to the public as
gentlemen worthy its con fidence.

Senator Thurman OH the Demo.
cratic Platform.
From his Speeches in the Senate.

From his Speeches in the Senate.
"Never have I spoken in favor OF
that imitation of the currency which L
think see full we'll, means that there
shall never be any resumption at all"
Imitation means precisely demoni-
tizing gold and silver in perpetuity and
substituting a currency of irredeemable
paper, based wholly and entirely upon
government credit and depending up
on the opinion and interests of men,
ber of Congress-, and their hopes OF
popularity, whether the volume OF it
shall be large or small. ;"
Upon this measure have word to
say. 1t simply means that no man OF
my age shall ever again see In this
country that kind of currency which
the trainers of the Constitution intend
ed should be the currency of the Union,
which every sound writer on political
economy the world over says is the
only currency that defrauds no man."
"That is what this imitation means.
Sir, have never said anything in fav-
er of that. 1 am too old-fashioned a
Democrat for that. can not G i've up
the convictions of lifetime, whether
they be popular or unpopular"
sit means so long as l live, and pos
sibly long after shall be laid in the
grave. this people shall have nothing
but an irredeemable currency with
which to transact their business; that
currency which mas been well describ-
ed as the most effective invention that
ever the wit of man devised to fertilize
the rich mans field at the expense OF
the poor mans brow. 1 will have
nothing to do with it"

UNIONTOWN.

On FRIDAY night great damage was
done to corn and other grain as we'll as
timber and fencing, by the terrific
storm of wind and rain. We could
learn of no injury sustained by human
beings or animals. Previous to the ar
rival of the storm the western sky was
Illuminated by. vivid and incessant
lightning, but when the wind broke
upon US the lightning had almost en-
tirely ceased.
MUCH complaint is made by some
farmers concerning the grassLoppers,
which they state are destroying the
oats and timothy. They seem to
abound only in certain localities.
UNFAvoRABLE harvest weather is the
topic now, and "When do you think it
will clear up?" is the question for dis
cussion. Wheat is much better than
was supposed, and is almost all in
shock.
AS REGARDS THE LAW-there were
two suits this week. One suit was en-
tered to recover suit taken to satisfy
creditor. This didn't seem to suit
the debtor, and so he sued. The 9TH
er was to recover the price of "Mary's
little lamb and two Others, which A.
claimed got into BIS pasture through
the bars, or some other Udy, and by
him were unlawfully detained. JUS
tice, blindfolded, came into court with
her scales, and the different points of
the case were made as prominent as the
freckles on Chicago wOman's nose.

This is no nation. We are free and in

even be believes that the issue of State
sovereignty as against the supremacy
of the national authority has by nc

The Pipe Creek Concert.
BUSINESSBURGH, o

BUSINESSBURGH, OHIO.
Mr.. EDIToR-Please allow me to
give a short description OF the Pipe
Creek Valley Musical Concert. On the
10th inst. about 500 people met at old
Pipe Creek Presbyterian Church.. to
witness the display of musical talent
of about 60 or 70 singers, who had been
for long time under the care of Prof.
Glass. BY 74o'clock the house was
crowded, many being from the sur
rounding com mmunities. AT o'clock
Prof. Glass sounded forth the glad IL
dings that every thing was ready, and
soon all present were ready to decide
that Pipe Creek was another Nazareth,
and really something good might come
out of it, for all saw plainly that the
entertainment was far ahead of any
thing of the kind ever held in this part
of the county. The entire arrangement
was far beyond the expectations of any
present. The house was beautifully
decorated, for which great credit IS due
the young people who spared no pains
in making it the most beautiful place
i'm which to hold such an affair; and
next to the beautiful house we noticed
the good music by singers. But rs va
riety is desirable on such occasions, land
in order to manifest the real energy OF
the people in preparing feast, the
Bellaire String Band was present,
which interspersed the vocal with some
very fine instrumental music. The
Glee Club from old Wegee also sang
some beautiful Solos and Choruses.
Miss M0llie Brice, of Wegee, presl-
ded at the organ. The entire affair was
attended with intense excitement, and
almost constant cheering and applause,
and more especially after the perform
ances of Prof. Morgan.
Every one present felt that the la.
bors of Prof. Glass among them had
not been in vain, but that all had avail
ed themselves of the opportunity OF
learning music, and owing to the fact
THAT the audience, (althOugh the house
was greatly crowded), maintained such
good order, all felt that Pipe Creek had
walked forth from gloom and dark
ness, and became Immediately famous
for energy, music and good order.
At the close of the performances, on
motion of Joseph III. Carle, vote OF
thanks was returned to all present for
their patronage, and especially to all
from distance, who participated.
Receipts, $46.

The first necessity of civilization is

Enquire of Mopday.l

Enquire OF Monday.l
Mr.. Thurman will not be misunder-
stood. He and his Eastern allies desire
the defeat of the Democratic party of
Ohio. Mr.. Thurman especially desires
the defeat of William Allen.
The Apostle of Hard Money, Senator
Allen G. Thurman, has been inter-
viewed by a reporter of the Baltimore
Gazette. He was found rusticating at
Deer Park. Mr.. Thurman expressed
himself in opposition to the financial
plank of the Ohio Democratic platform,
and gave his interrogation to understand
that he would make war upon it in his
speeches during the canvass. Mr..
Thurman IS precisely where we expect
ed to find him-down on his knees to
the Money Power. His Eastern friends
will be delighted. Mr.. Thurman's
silence last year was highly creditable
to him. His proposed opposition to
the party which has given him all his
honors is simply disgraceful. We can
say to him now that his services are not
desired in the Ohio canvass. He is not
of US. The Democratic party of Ohio
is in death-struggle with the Money
Power. Mr.. Thurman proposed to as
sist the men who are praying and work
ing for our overthrow. His expressed
desire for Democratic victory will
weigh as nothing. Let him sneak of
to Maryland, as he did last summer,
for his declaration of war will be met as
it should be.
