Are There 7 wo Standards OF Right and
Wrongf

In an epoch SO much given to larcenous
practices it Is refreshing to SEQ the con-
science OF great'political party suddenly
aroused to the crmlnality of stealing
votes. We had begun almost to despair of
cooperation from the Republicans. New
crtholess, we had lingering hope that
they would yet recognize the stupendous
wichcdncss OF that kind OF offence against
law and morals; and no sooner did MIR.
CRoNrS Of Oregon cast his vote FOR 1ILDEN
and llENDRcKs than our fondest anticipa-
tions were more than realized. With loud
acclaim the centre party denounced TuDEN
and HENDRICKs - thieves and robbers,
ana Gov. GROVER rs IA supple accomplice
ia the nefnrious transaction. while CRoSIH
vas stgmatizcd rs their base and willing
tool
This sounds well, and is good FOR be-
ginning. But do the Republicans propose
TO circumscribe the application of their
Virtuous indignation bv parallels of lati-
tudc and longitude? Are they going to
expend II all in the frozen regions of Ore
gon. leaving none for use IN the mildtr
climcs Of Louisiana. Florida, ana South
Carolina? Is the arctic circle alone
10 profit by their plous anathomas against
vote stealing, while the tropics remain UNI
blessed by their maleiictions? In short
taking them at their own estimate, aud
testing them by the standard they have
set up II J; is wrong t. steal one electoral
vote in the North, is il not M loast equally
culpable- to steal nineteen electoral votes
in the South. together with three Gov
emors. three Lesis!tturcs, three Senators
in Congress. siN members OF tne House OF
Representatives, and u President and ice
| President Of the Tinted states;
We advise the Republicans 10 stop
preaching against vote stealing in Oregon
until they are willing TO extend their
missionary labors beyond the boundaries
| OF that little state.

Winchester Items.

Business rather dull, as blackberries
are getting scarce.
There seems to be quite an excitement
among the threshing machines at pres
ent.
There was a very heavy rain here on
Monday of this week-good weather on
corn, as well as ducks.
Farmers are principally done haying
in this part.
The base ball boys here don't stop for
hot weather, They went to Madison
Furnace to play the boys there last Sat
urday.
There is a croquet game also carried on
here, but some don't partake, on account
of some two or three fellows getting
their eyes BACKED They are that kind
of chickens here.
Loafers can be had on application at
the drug store of DR.. Johnson; also, at
the grocery of George Ware, on Main
street, at reasonable terms.
There was very large turnout at the
Quarterly meeting Sunday week here.
The following places were well represent
ed, viz; Jackson, Berlin, Wellston, Ham
den, Pattonsville, Buckeye, Vega, Cross
Roads, Portland, Centreville, Keystone
and Chestnut Grove.
They have a better Sunday School
here now than they have had for a num-
Der of years. Armpstead Scurlock, Su-
perintendent.
The negroes had big meeting last
Sunday, southwest OF here There seem
ed to be several darkies passing here,
coming from toward Berlin. Several of
the Winchester boys were there. They
had good time, of course.
Hugh Frasure's wife is sick, but not
dangerous.
A certain moving machine of this
place, accompanied with two or three
men, started out to NOW for a neighbor.
They commenced moving grass, but be-
fore they quit they moved the legs off of
one of their dogs. That's what the little
brown jug done for the dog.
We are talking of having Centennial
Sabbath School Celebration.
Mr.. Clinton Burris, from the West, is
paying us visit. HIS cousin, Clinton
is talking of going home with
him this fall.
Winchester is lively place, especially
among the young folks.
It's sweet to court,
But oh, how bitter,
TO court gal and then not get her.

Four Mile and Widowville Items.

Four Mile is unusually quiet this sea-
son. Most of the city folks are either at
the Centennial or in the country.
Notwithstanding hard times improve
ment goes right along. Will Dawson is
having fine frame residence erected in
the upper part Of town, and Andy Loud
erback is building a frame house in
Brunton's Addition to Four Mile
Thomas Jones (North) has been quite
sick for few weeks, but is recovering.
Harrison Gilliland, Prof of Galesburg
College, Wisconsin, and family, are visit
ing friends here.
We too are blessed (2) with mosquitoes,
potato bugs and Democrats. They (the
Democrats not potato bugs) are becoming
reconciled to Tilden; yet there are few
who don't want crow in theirs, and still
mourn and refuse to be comforted, be-
cause "Blallen" is not the nominee.
Although the Republican County Con.
did not go just as some of the people here
wished, yet we are satisfied with the
ticket. 1t is good, and we are going to
no the whole hog.

There is nothing that will grow as rap
idly as habit If persons fall into some
evil habit, such as chewing tobacco, or
smoking it in any form, or drinking
strong drinks of any kind, or taking the
name of God in vain or using snuff (as a
great many ladies do in some places,
large towns especially,) or card-playing,
or anything of the kind no difference
what, any OF these will grow on person
as he advances in years. Habits will en-
twine their tendrils SO permanently
around their possessors that it seems al
most impossible to shake them off
For instance the dram-drinker thinks
he cannot get along without his dram
regularly. The tobacco chewer also
thinks he cannot do without his tobacco,
and the snufftaker her snuff. Those
that are in the habit of swearing con-
stantly,-thus using Gods name in vain,
seem to think they cannot get along
without it. If young men and boys. cul-
tivate habits of Incidence and idleness
while in their youth, in future years they
become dissipated beyond redemption as
a general rule. One reason we have so
many "tramps" all over our country now,
is doubtless because they have been in
dulging in some bad and vicious habits.
ease which large portion of the human
family is afflicted with, and seems almost
incurable too In some cases it can be
cured if taken in time. Evil habits of
all kinds should be Stunned by every
person, but more especially by those call
ing themselves respectable. 1t always
was a sad picture for me to behold, to see
boys and young men lettering around in
idleness, when they might be improving
their time by doing something useful for
themselves and others. Where there
is a will there is a way" Some will lay
around saloons and other places Of public
resort, drinking, smoking cigars, and Of
ten getting into quarrels and finally
fighting. This is the effect of idleness
and laying around saloons. On the other
hand, il we cultivate habits of industry,
nourish and cherish good habits, what a
benefit they will be to us in after years
when we move out into the world on our
own responsibility. Persons can get into
most any habit Here is an instance.
"a certain physician few years ago was
in the habit of visiting his patients just
after eating his dinner. As soon as he
would finish his meal, he would mount
his horse and start. One day the boy
(his waiter,) took the horse to the stable
and left the saddle on the fence. The
DR.. as usual came out and mounted the
saddle, and was there some minutes be-
fore he noticed that there was no horse
under him" Thus you see this was a
habit which had grown on him. We
should be careful and notice what hab
its we are forming in our youthful days
Life is too short to be spent in vagrance
and Incidence. Time is too precious to
fool away in idleness. We have a future
state of existence to prepare for. Then
let US look to our best interests both fol
time and eternity. To the young
would say in conclusion, to be careful
and form good habits.

Harvest is about over here, and the

music.
Things are quiet.
We had good speech from Mr.. Neal
at Monroe Furnace the other night.
The little village of Oak Hill is incor-

Marshal there by the name of D.
He arrested a man the other day charged
with house burning. The prisoner want

pena a witness, while the prisoner was
satisfying his powerful stomach; but
when the Marshal returned, the prisoner
had split the wind westward. and forgot
to return in time for early supper. The
last account, he was splitting wind tow
ards the Ohio river.

G. Stewart Beverly came through this
place some five or six years ago, with a
kind of one-horse show, called the Helen
DEste Troupe. Subsequently he was
married in West Virginia to Miss Anna
Coyle, of Liberty township, in this coun-
ty. His wife went into the show busi-
ness, as one of the actors. Beverly
claimed to have been a rebel soldier He
and his wife. with other performers, have
showed at this place several times since
their marriage. Beverly has all the time
been getting into trouble. He had diff
Guilty here with Henry Brown of this
place, and at Chillicothe with young
Tommy Clewers, formerly of this place.
In his travels in the South he had sever
al fights with knives and pistols.
Recently Beverly has been making
money in a different way. He would 60
to a jewelry store, and order valuable
property to be sent by express to some
fictitious person, to some point in the
country, marked G. o. D. OF course the
goods would not be called for; but Bev-
erly would come around and break into
the express Office and steal the goods he
had thus sent. In this way, among other
articles, he stole two fine gold watches
and chains, one for himself, and one for
his wife. Recently the Adams Express
Co. were successful in arresting Beverly
in Northern Ohio, and one of the stolen
watches was found upon his person.
Mr.. Weir, agent of the Express Co.. came
to this place on last Saturday week, and
went out to the residence of James
Coyle, in Liberty township, and found
his daughter, Mrs. Beverly, there. She
gave up one of the stolen watches, claim
ing that she did not know that her hus-
band had stolen it. She was taken to
Cincinnati, and will be taken to Tusca-
rawas county. where her husband is in
Jail.
The case against Beverly seems to be
conclusive, and it is more than probable
that there will be one vote lost for Tilden
and reform the coming fall

even the Democrats forsook him.

On Wednesday morning of last week
Rev. A. G. Byers, of Columbus, came up
from Portsmouth. He is a nephew of
Judge VIM. Salter and had been visiting
his uncle, on his Goth birthday. He is
visiting the prisons, infrmaries, &C.. un-
der law of the State. He invited us to
60 out to the County Infirmary, and in
company with him and Senator Mona
han we went. DR.. Pyers was well pleas
ed with Mr.. Hildenbrand, the Superin-
tendent, and his management. He says
that with a little more experience, Mr..
Hildenbrand will make one of the best
superintendents in the State He says
that the 43 children now in the Infirma-
ry should be got out of that place. SEN
ator Monahan proposes that the Commits
sioners of Jackson and Pike counties
unite and build a Children's Home at
Beaver, for the use of the two counties,
dividing the expense. DR.. Byers thought
this would be an excellent plan, the To-
cality being very convenient and accessi-
bic for both counties, as soon as the new
railroad shall ! have been completed.
