Clay Tp.
BUFoRD, June Is, 1875.

propose to give the readers Of
the News some idea of what we are
doing in this part of the county, in
the way of improvements.
Pricetown is to have a new Hall.
Mr. Pulse is building very nice
residence near Harwood Church.
Mr.. B. Page has built nice little
cottage, and a new barn this spring.
VIM. Aber has just finished his
house.
1. Warman built residence last,
summer.
Thos. Wilson has built new barn
and is now engaged in putting up a
pretty cottage.
r. Wallace is building a barn at
this writing.
Allen Brown put up q good barn
last fall.
S. r. Brown, living just in the
edge of Brown county, is building an
elegant country residence.
John A. Moberly, William H.
Roades and John D. Rhoades, are all
three building q good barn apiece.
Mr.. John Brown, Understand, is
putting up large barn.
All these buildings are situated
in strip of country less than mile
wide and about three miles long, ex-
cept the Hall at Pricetown.
Others are repairing and rebuild
ing. Mr.. John F.seMeberly, little
farther south, has built q barn and is
putting up a cottage.
I can't say much for Buford,
though she has some live men, and
several have been plying the brush
on houses and front fences.
Buford now has 2 grocery and dry
goods stores, A. T. Moon & Co. and
S. Burns, proprietors; two good
smith shops, owned by Toll & STRAIT
ton and Cumberland; one wagon
shop, by Mr.. Scott, some other shops,
a drugstore that I forgot to mention,
owned by S. A. Lyons, who is doing
a fair business.
Crops are doing finely at this writ
ing. Wheat will be light crop at
all events, let the season be as it may.
Oats are doing well; grass ditto;
but few meadows to NOW. Drought
and worms have killed many of them
and they have been put in corn.
For several years past it has been
difficult to get good set of grass to
stand.
Corn came up badly as a general
thing, causing great deal of re-
planting. A large crop put out.
Corn is growing well, but is needing
work, the ground being too wetfor a
few days when it first ought to have
been worked.
We will have no orchard fruit;
some grapes, currants, goosberries,
blackberries, raspberries, &c. Gar
den vegetables are making a rapid
growth.
Bugs and worms are not near as
numerous as for several years past.
But few Colorado boys yet. 1 am
looking forward to enjoy a dish of
Early Rose potatoes in due time.
Cut worms are cutting the cabbage
down and hurting the corn badly.
The County Commissioners have
advertised for bids for two new
bridges in this neighborhood-
of 100 feet span, and one near Jacob
Cowhorn's residence, of 35 feet span.
Both are badly needed.

"The Public Schools" is to be in

of every State in the Union. The
Republicans of Texas, in State Con-
vention, strongly resolved for the free
school system. The existing laws Of
Texas are strongly contradictory on
the subject, and the Republicans are
moving for theirimprovement. Ohio
is moving for the defense of the ex-

Democratic State Ticket
and Platform.

AS was generally expected, the
Democratic State Convention, held
at Columbus last week, renominated
Gov Allen by acclamation. The re-
mainder of the ticket is follows:
For Lieutenant Governor-Sam1
f. Cary, of Hamilton.
For Supreme Judge--Thomas O.
Ashburn, of Clermont.
For Auditor of State-E. n.
Greene, of Shelby.
For Treasurer of State-John
Schreiner, of Meigs.
For Attorney General-Eugene B.
Powell, of Delaware.
Member Board of Public Works
II. E. O'Hagan, of Erie.
The platform in full will be found
on the second page of this paper. 1t
will be seen that the Cincinnati En-
quirer and Pendleton wing of the
party shaped the financial plank, in
favor of an imitation of the currency,
which is virtual Y in favor of repudia-
ton. This is a defeat for Senator
Thurman and the hard money De-
mocracy, and will prove an element
of weakness to the whole ticket. The
people of Ohio don't want any more
''greenbacks" issued, until the Gov
ernment is able to redeem those al
ready in circulation. What they want
is to get back to the solid founda-
ton of specie payments as soon as
possible-not to take the opposite di-
rection, by increasing the amount of
irredeemable paper. That way ruin
lies.
The anti-division- school fund
plank is an adroit attempt to blind
the people to the self evident fact,
that the Democratic leaders have
formed an alliance with the Roman
Catholics. This was too plainly shown
by the passage of the famous Geg-
han bill by the last Legislature, at
the demand of the Catholic Tele-
graph and other Catholic organs,
and the subsequent promise of that
paper that the Catholic vote of Ohio
should be- given solid to the Demo
cratic party next fall. 1t will not do
to trust party whose leaders have
once yielded to the demands of
powerful religious sect, which has
declared its intention to break down
our common schools if it can, or
what amounts to the same thing, to
compel division of the school funds
among the various religious sects.
This school plank of the platform is
simply piece of Jesuitism, intended
to deceive the friends of the schools,
and lull their fears of the Catholic
designs, SO as to induce them to con-
tinue the Democratic party in power.
But the mask is too thin to hide the
real danger to the school system of
our State which would follow the
election of another Democratic Leg
islature. Hundreds of honest Dem
ocrats, who are friends of the schools,
will refuse to vote next fall for a
party which has shown its willing
ness to yield to Catholic demands
for the sake of Catholic votes, not
withstanding the deceptive declara-
ton of its platform in regard to the
schools.
The plank denouncing ''sumptuary
laws" is plain bid for the whisky
vote. By "sumptuary laws" is meant
of course, all laws on our statute
books restricting the sale of liquors,
as well as the constitutional clause
against license. In short, all laws
for the promotion of temperance are,
in the view of the advocates of liq-
uor-drinking, "sumptuary laws
that is, they interfere with mems ap-
petites, by forbidding the sale of in

Kidney Complaint.

Probably there is no complaint that afiicts the
human system, which is little understood at the
present time, of the varied forms of Kidney
Complaints.
There is no disease which causes such acute pair
or more alarming in its results than when the kid
neys fail to secrete from the blood the uric acid
and other poisonous substances, which the blood
accumuates in its circulation through the system.
If from any cause the kidneys fail to perform
the functions devolving upon them, the cumulations
arc taken up by the absorbents and the whole sys-
TEN thrown into state of disease, causing great
death. Hence the importance of keeping the kid
neys and blood n a healthy condition, through
which all the impurities of the body must pass

PAIN I'm THE BACK.

There is no remedy known to medical science
which has proved itself more valuable in cases OF
Kidney Complaints than the VEGETINE. 1t acts
directly upon the secreiiOns, clcanses and purfes
the blood, and restores the whole system to healthy
action.
The following extraordinary cure of great suffer-
ers, who had been given up by the best physicians
should challenge the most profound attention OF
the medical faculty, as well as of those who are

thanks to you for benefits derived from the use OF
VEGETINE, and to benefit others, ] viii state:
When eight or nine years old / was afflicted with
Scrofula, which made its appearance in my eyes,
face and head, and | WAS very near blind for two
years. All kinds of operations were performed on
my eyes, and all to no good result. Finally the
disease principally settled in my body, limbs and
feet, and at times in an aggravated way.
Last Summer was, from some cause, weak in
my spine and kidneys, and II was at times very
hard to retain the urine. Seeing your advertise
ment in the Commercial, bought a bottle of VEGE.
TINE, and commenced using according to direc-
tions. In two OF three days obtained great relief
After using four or five bottles | noticed it had a
wonderful effect on the rough. scaly blotches on
my body and legs. / still used VEGETINE and the
humorous sores one after another disappeared until
they were all gone, and attribute the cure of the
two diseases to VEGETINE, and nothing else
If | am ever affected with anything of the kind
again L shall try VEGETINE as the only reliable
remedy. Once more accept my thanks, and believe
me be, Very respectfully.

HighIana Institute.

The Commencement exercises OF
the Highland Institute are always
interesting, and this year proved nc
exception to the general rule.
Thursday evening, June 10, was
devoted to the reading of the essays
by the graduating class, interspersed
with music.-The class numbered
seven, who chose for their subject
the days of the week. Each young
lady endeavored to prove that her
especial day had been of the most
benefit to mankind.
The instrumental music was very
creditably performed, and the song
by Miss Arpel, "Oh, tell me, Brides
Wild" elected great applause.
Friday evening, Rev. Geo. B.
Beecher, of Cincinnati, delivered the
address, which was an able produc-
ton, abounding in good practical I'D
vice, not only to those just leaving
their Alma Mater, but to all young
ladies.
At the close of the address, the di-
plomas were presented, in few feel
ing and beautiful remarks by Miss
Grand Girard.
Thus closed another year of this
excellent and well-known school.
The names of the graduates are as
follows:
Miss Ina B. Fenner, Hillsboro.
I" Laura Spring, Olney Ill.
/" Louie Langdon, Greenfield.
d" Annie S. Patterson, Hillsboro.
" Annie Rogers, Covington, Ky.
Kate Grand Girard, Hillsboro.
