THE r. II. MEETING held at Flushing
on the End inst, was large and ell
thusiasiic one. A. j. BaggS Esq, ad-
dressed the audience and made Il clear
and concise statement concerning the
condition of that part of the Road
which has been constructed and is now
in operation. A committee was ap-
pointed to open the books and solicit
subscriptions and right OF way on the
proposed line known as the .-flushing

men were authorized To act upon the
committee Messrs Isaac jacob Hollo-

efficient men have been appointed the

have opened a ''SchOol House Cam

in the different districts.
CHRISTMAS day here was observed
socially and pleasantly, there were no
public entertainments.
THE RAIN FALL ON Sabbath evening
caused great amount of damage and
loss of property;45 sheep from the flock
of Mr.. Calvin Pollock were carried
away by the waters of Wheeling creek;
of these ID were recovered living and Z
dead. Fifteen were carried of from
the flock of Mr.. Abner Lodge. The
Dinesmore Bros, had property destroy
ed amounting to over three hundred
dollars. A wall of masonry q feet
thick, feet high and 20 feet in lsngth
was swept away. The destruction ol
property was immense. Fences, water
gates, and stock was swept away and
soil was washed from the meadows.
THE CHURCH here is now furnished
with lights which contribute largely t
the ornamentation OF the building anC
which are source of pleasure and com
fort to those who attend evening wOr

THE SCHOOL BUILDING las also beer
provided with nice la.ups through thu
contributions of the teacher, scholar
and friends of the school.

MUCH feeling is looming up in favor
of the county taking that part of the
National Road within its borders under
its care. The reason for this desire just
now is "clear as mud (which instead
of stone is about foot deep on this end
of the road where the stone ought to be.
Let the proper authorities take hold OF
this matter in earnest and give the peo-
pie relief from paying toll on an almost
impossible mud road-for the benefit
of ZanesviIle and elsewhere. We ask
our legislators to consider this matter
favorabIy-and give us rest from the
Injustice of paying toll for others bene-
fit, and the farce of collecting monies
from the travelling public, without any
equivalent.

THE alleged revelation, in the New
York Herald, OF the secrets Of new
political order, the ''Order of be Amer
lean Union," amounts TO very little.
That there is such a society is prob
ably true, and that it is political in
its purposes; but the Herald has reveal
ed but little concerning it that was not
known before. The Order referred to
confines its membership to American
born citizens, and its main purpose is
directed against sectarlan Influence in
politics; but it has not spread rapidly
and has but little force. 1t has been IN
existance since 1867, and yet has only
thirty.seven lodges in Pennsylvania in
1875. There is no good reason to be-
lieve that either the President or Mr..
Blaine belongs to it. If, as the Herald
AYERS, the order is committed to the
Third Term policy for Grant, the alle-
CATION that Blaine has been induced to
Join it is ridiculous. The managers, if
committed to Grant, would not permit
an opposing candidate TO come in and
distract its councils. The whole story
seems to have been got up as 4 sensa-
tioD, and it will serve, as well as any
thing else, for a nine days wonder

ings Of that body.

mended that the prayer of the Nam

city attorney having been accepted, it
was stated by members that it was
necessary to have city attorney ap-

every means available to put the proper
blanks in the hands Of every taxpayer
in the district. Upon such blanks WAS
written as follows: "Return this

five OF six hundred blanks delivered by
the assessors, only one hundred and
sixty have been returned, and this is the
first day Of July, the last of the six days
appropriated by the assessors for the re-
turn to them of the blanks. Is this
properly upholding the hands Of well
disposed county officers? Now it is not
my province to stop to inquire into the
cOnstitutiOpalitV of the law cOmDnllinQ
assessors to add twenty-five per cent.
penalty against delinquents. The legis-
lature made that law, and if they went
beyond the limits properly delegated to
them, the poor assessors should not be
censured by delinquents for the simple
discharge Of duty imposed by law, and
they acting under oath. What recourse
have the assessors, who work for the
henefit Of Taxpayers and the county for
the small pay of one, dollar and
half per day? The pay is not sufficient
to justify the second canvass Of the dis
trict by the assessors to collect the papers.
