woodwork. Mrs. Bartholomew burned
her hands some in putting it out. Will

The dancing club held another meeting

From notices i'm another column, it
will be seen that the. Sunday OhOol folks
of both Methodist and Congregational
churches, are preparing to give their

The feeling of certainty which has
slowly spread over the country, regard
ing the election OF Hayes and Wheeler,
has caused gold to fall to OF the lowest
point reached since the war. With Re-
publican administration, there will not
be any difficulty in reaching specie pay
ments in 1879, us acquired by The present
law.
Charley Farr informs us that the tele-
graph cable across the straits has been
repaired and is now in working order
again. 1t was taken up and carefully eX-
amined, resulting in finding two places
in IL where the electric wire was entirely
separated by corrosion. 1t is wonder
to the telegraph people how it worked at
all, for some time past.
The great reform" advocate, of Che
boygan, true TO its record during the cana
paign, now puts up its rooster,thus boast
ing over thecrowning political villainy OF
of the age, the attempt to steal an electo-
raj vote in Oregon. This villainy is not
countenanced by the respectable
portion of the Democratic party, and
that paper Boosting Of it. is much like |
Boosting over its own party's degrc.la-
ton.
