Sabbath School Convention.

The Sabbath School Convention of
the West Ohio EIdershIp of the Church
of God, was held in the Findlay Bethel
on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
of last week, The proceedings were
characterized by an earnestness which
gave evidence that the members of this
body were alive to the Importance of the
Sabbath School work, and the session
was a very interesting one throughout.
Among the visitors from abroad was
Elder G. w. WILSON, formerly pastor
in this city, Elder 4. y. SHOEMAKER, of
Chicago, Elder JRssR KENNEDY, of Mt.
Joy, Pa ,Sup't Soldiers Orphans Home,

serve for the ensuing year: President,
Elder ]. w. CAssBLL; Vice President,
Elder F. KooGLE; Secretary, Elder s.
CLINK; Treasurer, HENRY SHULER. The
convention closed on Thursday evening
with highly interesting session.

After twenty minutes harangue from
Gen. Tom. Ewing in advocacy of more

OF the merits of the ticket made by
the Convention it is unnecessary to
speak, as it is openly admitted by the
leaders of the Democracy themselves to
be composed of the very best and the
very worst material in the party. 1t only
remains for the Republicans to put a
good tick in the field, turn out and la
bor for success, to carry the greater part,
if not all of it. That anything but a
cordial spirit pervaded the Convention
is not to be wondered at, when it was
apparent to the most casual spectator
that the suggestions and advice OF old
and faithful workers in the party were
either treated with silen. contempt by
the Chair or r9led out of order in the
taee of the plainest provisions of par
liamentary law.

Stockholm, July z, 1865.

THE Republican State Committee, OF
Pennsylvania, has issued an address to
the electors of the Keystone State, which,
though brief, presents many eogent
arguments to prove that the best inter
ests of the people of that Commonwealth
demand the retention of power in the
hands of the Republican party. The
showing OF the administration of State
affairs by the Republican party since
the accession of that party to power in
1861, is indeed hattering. Since that
date the State debt has been reduced
from forty millions to twenty millions
of dollars, while the State taxes upon
real estate and upon the personal prop
erty, employed in agricultural pursuits
have been repealed, and the resources
of the State greatly developed.

The Best Plan.

We would suppose that the average
reader of the newspaper ought to be able
to understand that no publisher ever
vOucbes for the honesty, integrity and
| good morals OF every man who makes
uSe Of his ad iertisiug columns through
winch 10 reach the public eye or ear.
wore he TO sit down and investigate the
merits OF every Patent Bedbug Destroy
er and Back-acticn Mousetrap, as well
as the moral status of the mao who of
fers them for sale through his columns,
be would have little time 10 attend 70
any thing else. IL is only when he en-
dOrs.s such articles. or those who vend
them, in his editorial columns, that he
should be held responsible. If a man i
incapable Of transacting his own busi
ness, the law will appoint him guar
dian, but it will not make better bar
gain for him than he can make for him
self If he deals with an irresponsible
stranger, and is overreached in the Ope
ration, he should not complain.
The Canton Lightning Rod Company
have used our local columns to advcr-
tise their wares. We knew nothing of
the Company, its responsibility. or man
ner of doing business, but. hear much
complaint. We have not endorsed them
editorialIy, nor said n single word in
their favor, nor do we intend to do so.
Were we suffering for a lightning rod,
we should go to some good mechanic in
findlay with whom we are acquainted,
and whom we know To be responsible,
and get him to put it up. We should
then feel that we had a good job of work,
or If not, that we We're dealing with IA
party who would make it good. We
should also feel that we were dealing
with neighbor and helping to build up
the business interests of town and cOun-
ty. Were our farmers to patronize men
in their respective localities, they would
often get better work and at a fairer
price. Nor does this apply alone to
farmers. We have men in the town of
Findlay who are thoughtless enough to
send their money away for what they
could get cheaper at home.
The moral of the whole thing = simply
this: Never send away or buy of n
stranger any article that you cah just as
well purchase at home of an acGuRint-
anee. IL you do deal with strangers,
try and make gOur own half of the bar
gain, and then never "squeal."

A Nice Rig for a Farmer.

CallOhan & Snyder nave just finished up
one of the neatcst and most convenient
Platform Spring Wagons for one of our
Hancock County farmers that we have ever
seen. 1t is well worth visit to their Fac
tory to see this vehicle alone. Then you can
also see any style of open and covered work
that you may wish. Their work is not only
put up in the latest style, but it has the
merit of being durable, as they do every
thing "On honor" and will not allow the
use Of inferior material. or permit it to be
slighted in making up. They are both Drac-
tical mechanics, and know when work is
well done, and will permit no other kind to
leave the shop.

Struck by Lightning.

During the thunder shower, Sunday
evening last, the residence of DAVID
WRIGHT, Jr., living in Pleasant town
ship, one mile east of McComb, was
struck by lightning. The electric fluid
passed down the chimney in the center
of the building to the second floor, and
thence to the outside, shattering things
considerably. None of the inmates were
injured, though the bed in which two of
the children were sleeping took fire. The
hired man, who was sitting in the door
at the time was ''shuek up" to some ex-
tent. The damage will be about 81 900,
covered by insurance.

Endorsements of the People Remedy

When skillful and cautiOus medical men
give over their own signatures favorable
opinion of the soothing and vitaliZing effects
OF a preparation, the public does not hesitate
To believe them. The vOluminOus and en-
phatic professional testimony in favor Of
lIOstCttcr's Stomach BiitCrs, rs Il specific for
all disorders Of the stomach and bowels, for
liver complaint, intermittent and rcmittcnt
fcvers, and the thOus md ills that wait upon
dyspepsia, must convince The most skepiicil.
Aside, however, from the testimony of the
faculty, there is Il large mass of evidence from
patients iii every walk Of life, all showing
that this great preventive and restorative is
of inesIimablc value to the sick and the de
biiitated. The Bittcrs are suited To AL eli
mates, and is universally endorsed as a pre-
ventive of disorders caused by miasma and
impure water.
