last Sunday.
A wedding took place at the Christian
church last Tuesday morning. See

Rey. NJ. NJ. Pugh will preach to-
morrow, morning and evening, in the
Methodist church.
A young lady was baptized at the
Christian church last Sunday morning,
just after the regular services.
Rev. T. L. Smith has been preaching
at Maple Glen school house, in this
township. every evening this week.
Members of the Presbyterian church
could talk Of nothing last Sunday but
their freedom from debt. They have a
right to feel good over the fact.
There are some young folks that 60 to
church for other reasons than to hear
the sermon. Last Sunday we saw and
heard some boys talking so loudly that
persons sitting nea them had to nov
their seats in order to hear tho preacher.
These boys know better. and would feel
badly if we published their names.
The protracted meeting at the Bap-
tist church is still in progress. and the
interest seem to be increasing. Rev.
Harvey Hatcher, of Charlton county, is
assisting tho pastor. DR.. Talbird, and
there will be preaching every night
next week. We are requested to say
that the whole community is invited to
attend the meetings. The congrega-
tons have thus far been large and at
tentive.
All the days of Lent are fasting days
with Catholics, except Sundays. In the
morning is allowed a cup of tea, coffee,
or thin chocolate, with u small piece of
bread. In the evening a light meal
without meat. Meat is allowed on Sun
days without restriction, and at the prin-
cipal meal Mondays, Tuesdays, Thurs
days and Saturdays, except Saturday.
March 18th, (Ember week) and Thurs
day and Saturday, (Holy week.. Fish
and flesh are not permitted during Lent
at the same meal. These regulations do
not apply to the infirm o to children.
The matter Of employing a preacher
will be up before the Christian church
to.morrow morning, and every member
should be present, as each one is entitled
to vote. and that vote should be used to
the best interests of the church. The
church cannota afford to employ second
rate man. 1t has been sometime with |
out a preacher, and can afford to wait a
few weeks in order to get a good one.
1t is easier to raise $1,000 for y first
class man than to raise 5000 for q Sec
ond or third-rate one. We hope for one
who can command the love and respect
of the entire membership, or for none
at all. M. |

was no Jail to put the prisoner in, and
he was ashamed to acknowledge it, be-
sides being afraid to open his mouth, for
fear that the irate judge might impose a
tine upon him for contempt so he took
the prisoner out and put him under a

At the expiration OF the time the Judge

reason that the report of her, death was
quite current.
Rev. j. H. Luther, late editor of the
st. Louis Central Baptist, at present
pastor of the Oldest Protestant church
west of the Mississippi-the old Feefee
Baptist church of St. Louis-was in the
city Thursday and Friday of this week,
visiting his daughter, a pupil at the
Baptist college, and his numerous other
friends in this city Like all old typos,
he has a fellow-feeling for the press
gang. and always makes it convenient
TO visit our sanctnm when here. He is
looking well, and still seems good for
many years service in his Masters
vineyard. May long life and success
be his.
The Register keeps its subscription
account in its 'spersonal" column, and
has the modesty(?) to persist in calling
itself the best county paper. We thought
that kind of brass had left the Journal
istic ranks in Lexington with the depart
ure of P. D., but we see that he has left
one of his disciples behind him. If copy
ing from the Intelligencer the half of its
county news, constitutes it the best
county paper, it is welcome to stand as
high as it pleases in its own estimation.
We do not mean to say that the Register
is not a good county paper. as we think
that Lafayette county is furnished with
as good local papers as any in the state,
and that they try hard to furnish the
people all the important general news
Of the day, and every item of local news
which can be procured; but tor the Reg.
lister to claim that it is the best county
paper requires an altitude and sublimity
of cheek unparalleled in the journalistic
history OF the city, except in the case
above alluded to.

why a Fdss was not made Last

Why a Fuss was not made Last
Winter over the Amnesty Bill.
From the Chicago Ttibunel
The amnesty bill which passed the
House last winter went through without
any discussion and before any one knew
anything about it. The bill was not
thought Of or talked Of. The public had
really never known that Jefferson Davis
was responsible for the cruel horrors Of
Andersonyille. The indignation which
followed upon the revelations Of the
Congressional Investigating Committee
we're expended upon Wirz, who was
hanged, and upon Winder, who was struck
dead in his tent. Davis somehow escaped,
When the bill reached the Senate, how:
ever, Il was more carefully considered
and 1t was then put on the shelf. The
people even then did not know Of the full
measure Of Dayis,s guilt. It was not un'
Ill Mr.. Blaine made the charges, and Mr..
Garfield proved. them, that tho people oil
the United States had clear. or correct
conception of the case. II these facts had
been known last winter, or the charges
had been categorically made, the bill
never would have passed the House
The Chicago Tribune was silent then be-
cause it was not aware OF the facts in the
case In regard TO the guilt Of Davis. II
It had been, II would have spoken out as
II has recently. The Democratic papers
can console themselves, however, with the
reflection that they have had to shoulder
Davis enormities, owing TO the action Of
the Democrats in the House. II they had
not opposed Mr.. Blaine's amendment for
separate vote, no discussion would
have taken place as to amnesty for the
7S9 other persons embraced in the opera
tions OF the bill.

ElltorB Of The Intclllgencer;

BhitofbOl thc lntchlBenCer'
On Thursday, February 10th, 1876, the
officers and directors OF the Cleveland,
Tuscarawas Valley & Wheeling Railroad
Co. meet at their Office in Cleyeland, O.,
to receive the reports Of the various
committees that have been at work SO.
curing rights Of way and stock subscrip-
tions Tor the extension Of their roadfrom
Uhrichsville to the Ohio river. tf.,a,
The right OF way from Patton's, the
point Of divergence OF the competing
lines, is not yet all secured free, butfrom
Patton's to Tippacanoe the right Of way
on both lines is almost entirely free, and
there is good reason to believe that free
right Of way will be guaranteed to the
company on either Of these routes from
Tippecanoe to Uhrichsville. A large
committee Of able men are earnestly at
work securing rights Of way and sub
scriptions.
The foregoing will show what wonder
full activity is being used to complete this
road and the hard work that has been
done. Perhaps never in the history Of
building roads through lands so valuable
and so thickly settled has such free
right Of way been secured.
The indications are that very liberal
subscription will be made along the en-
tire line and that the right Of way will
be made almost entirely free from Bridge
+port TO Pattons. People who can thus
see their own interest so clearly and who
give TO railroad company such encour-
agement surely deserve a road, and we
trust they will secure 1t.
Now the difficulty ia to raise the re-
Quired amount Of stock. No railroad
now completed is as important to our
people Us this one. Wheeling should
long since have had this line Of road in
operation. On the other side Of the river
there is but little room for business and
necessarily this road will pour her busi-
ness into this city,. We believe Wheel
ing should extend aid to this road and
hope our citizens will be willing to do
their duty in subscribing stock to itwhen
called upon.
