Beg FIFTY DOLLARS REwARD.-We
invite attention to the advertisement of
Henry Shepherd, Esq, in another col
umn. There is no doubt that there have
been many depredations committed in
that neighborhood in the way of petty
larceny, and Mr.. Shepherd endeavors
to put a stop to it ere it might result in
more formidable consequences. Every
good citizen should assist Mr.. S. in fer
reting out the marauders, and the only
way in which to check these depreda-
tons committed is for every citizen Of
the neighborhood to be on the alert
and act promptly and decidedly in con-
junction with each other, as it is for the
good of every citizen that this thieving
should be stopped.

authorities to respect the Sabbath and
permit no huckstering on that day, and
positively forbidding the sale OF segars,
candies, melons, ETC., only solid edibles,
on pain OF refusal of ministerial assis-
lance. The action of last year as to
contiguity TO railroads was regarded as
obsolete. The Baltimore Episcopm

Aug. 9, 1876.
Messrs r. E. and G. w. Homer
Dear Sirs-In the "Parkersburg Senti-
nell of the 5th inst, see the following
announcement, wiz
"The Peter Cooper electoral ticket is
said to be John p. Thompson and ]. NJ.
Laidly at large, and Cyrus Hall, DIR.
Tanner and Judge Samuels from the
1st. 2nd and 3rd Districts respectively"
AS have never been consulted by any
of the aooye named gentlemen, or any
BODY else whatever, in regard to any
such a move, and at this time could
only view it as calculated to injure the
election of Tilden and Hendricks, with
out any possible hope whatever of the
success OF such . party, l therefore
take this opportunity of correcting all
such errors and Misrepresentation, so
far as am concerned, by saying that L
most heartily and cheertully acqulesce
in the nominations of the ST. Louis Con
vention, as well as in the nominations of
the Democratic Conservative Conyen-
ton, held at Charleston, w. Va, for
State officers, and that my best efforts,
no matter how feeble they may be, will
be most cordially and vigorously exert
ed TO secure the election OF the entire
Democratic Conservative ticket. In the
success of that ticket alone can we hope
for the Reform so much needed, and if
the monetary plank in the st. Louis
platform is not all that the ultra none
iary Reformers could desire. it is one
grand step in the right direction. The
wisdom, the ability and the statesman
like integrity of Tilden and Hendricks,
as shown in the past, will if elected, Sc
cure to us in the future the necessary
Reform and prosperity again to our OPP
pressed and distracted country.
Very Respectfully,
|. S. TANNER.

a~CoMpANY y. CELEBRATIoN.-On
Saturday last, the 5th instant, the sur
yiyino members of Company b., Cen
tolerate Infantry, held their annual re-
union and celebration at the Big Spring,
above town, on the premises of Air.
VIM. r.. Lemen. At 9 o'clock the com
pany was formed by Capt. Lee IL. Mo-
Ter. commander, accompanied by few
surviving members of lIarpers old Ar
tillery Company, and few of the old
"Green' company, commanded by the
late Col. John +. Hamtramck, and head
ed by Criswell's Cornet Band, marched
10 the Spring. A large number OF other
citizens were present, and the day was
passed very pleasantly. Seven kettles
Of soup-ve.etable soup, chicken soup,
and lamb soup-scarcely served the
hungry party present. 1t is said that
one of the number put himself outside
of fourteen pints of soup, but we will
not youch tor the truth of ii. At four
o'clock the command returned to town,
highly pleased with the pleasures of the
day. The company returns thanks to
VIM Il. Lemeu for the use of his spring
and grounds to Criswells Band for
their excellent music, aud to those who
contributed in detraying expenses.

say- The ELECTION FOR RE-DIsTRiCr-
ING CouSrY.-It will be remembered
that the County Court sometime since
ordered an election TO take place OF
Saturday next, the 10Th instant, sub
ui,,inp to the voters of the people OF
the county, whether they wish a change
in the number of the Observation-Disclosures
10 remain at seven districts as they are
at present or reduce them to hive dis
tric,s. We now learn that a number
of the citizens of the county have sued
out an injunction to stop the elec'ioh'
employing ID. b. Lucas, Esq, as At
torney to prosecute the matter. IL Is
said that the Court has transcribed It's
authority IN ordering an election OF tins
kind. However, if the election should
take place on Saturday next, we hope
the voters of the County will turn out
en- masse and vote for seven districts as
they are at present, instead Of reducing
them TO five. There is 10 controversy
tat by reducing the districts to five you
will increase your taxes.

s@ Dr.. TANxxR.-We invite atten-
ton to the card of DIR. Tanner in anoth-
err column OF this issue. 1t will be seen
that the editors of the Parkersburg Sen'
finel, the Messrs. lIorner, have placed
the Dr. upon the Peter Cooper ticket,
as an elector. We know not from what
source these gentlemen procured their
information, but it strikes us that they
ought to have known the Dr.s political
proclivities much better than to believe
for one moment that he would allow his
