Fire at Central Point.
The granary and horse barn of Han. Bon.
nell, of Central Point, was destroyed by fire on
Wednesday morning about 8 o'clock, together
with the contents, amounting in the aggregate
to about 81 600. on which there was an insur-
ance in the Etna. of Hartford, of about $500.
The alarm was sounded and the fire depart
ment responded promptly, but owing to the
fact Of the fire being fully mile distant, ii was
impossible to get the steamer there in time to
render any assistance, although an effort was
made to do so. The frelnen deserve much
credit for their prompt action in the premises
The origin of the fire is not fully known, but
supposed to have been caused by smoking on
the premises.

Ohio Democratic platform.

The financial sections of that
platform read:
s. That the contraction Of the
currency heretofore made by the
Republican party, and the further
contraction proposed by it with a
view to the forced resumption of
specie payment, has already been
disastrous to the business of the
country, and threatens it with gen
bankruptcy and ruin. We demand
that this policy be abandoned, and
the volume of currency be kept
equal to the wants of the trade,
leaving the restoration of legal ten
dcrs to be brought out 10y promo
ting the industries of the people, and
not by destroying them.
That the policy already of abolish
ing legal tenders. and giving Ma
tional banks power to furnish all the
currency, will increase the power of
an already dangerous monopoly,
and the enormous burdens now OPP
pressing the people, and that we
oppose to this policy the demand
that all the NatiORl banks oircula-
ton be promptly and permanently
retired, and legal tenders be issued
in their place.
10. That tie public interest de-
mands that the Government should
cease to discredit its own currency,
and should make its legal tenders
receivable for all public dues except
where respect for the obligation of
contracts requires payment IN coin,
and that we favor the paymenG of at
least one-half the customs in legal
tenders.
II. The extinction of the present
National banks, and the establish
ment lii their stead of a system of
free banks OF discount and deposit,
only under such regulations rs the
States may respectively prescribe,
and Bs paper currency except as
may be issued digGctly by, and upon
the faith of the GeHErsi Govern
ment.

wonderful Inventions.

We seem to be on the eve of an
other grand era of inventions, such
as marked the beginning of this cen
fury, annihilating time and space.

Keely's cold water, the London
Times is arranging to print newspa
pers by electricity in a dozen pro-
vincial towns simultaneously, and
now photography or the art OF
short hand writing, is to be render
ed superfuous at one fell stroke.
According to the ReUue Indus
trieLEe, of Paris, NJ. Auppinger has
invented machine for writing
spoken words. The instrument is
described to be about the size of a
mans hand, and operates by being
placed in connection with the vocal
organs, the little machine recording
their movements upon a band OF
paper in dots and dashes stint
lar to the telegraphic alphabet
Hereafter the reporter, instead o!
straining his ears and fingers in
the desperate efforts to keep uL
with a rapid speaker, will mercy
attach one of these instruments tc
his own lips and repeat the words
of his orator inwardly The ''liI
language thus produced on the
scroll by the movements of the or
gans of speech, can be written out
afterward at leisure, and with great
