Chestnut Grove Items.

The citizens of Chestnut Grove were
somewhat startled on Thursday, April
the 10th, by the alarm of fire being Civ
en-. The fire caught on the roof of Mr..
James Craig's blacksmith shop. And
had it not been discovered while ct in
its infancy, the shop would have been
demolished in very short time, the
roof being dry and the wind blowing
smartly. In few minutes from the
time the alarm was given quite respect
able crowd was gathered at the scene,
including the daughters of Chestnut
Grove, who shook the buckets right live
ly for awhile. A few well-directed
buckets of water extinguished the
flames. Fortunately, but little damage
was done. There being no ladder at
hand the roof had to be gained by
climbing rail which was no easy task,
judging by the way the apprentice boy
got tumbled off. He would like to know
if climbing rails belongs to the black
smiths trade, if it does there will be a
vacancy for some good climber.
A belling took place at wedding on
KeetOn's Run, one night last week,
that would have done credit to the fash

A great many of the young men in
this neighborhood are getting new bug
gies this spring. 1t is quite amusing to
see them displaying their new rig and
fine horses. Some of the boldest ones
venture out to take their sweetlearts
riding. The bashful one contents him-
self by taking some fair cousin. The
bashful ones that have no cousins 20

if they had dozen strings to their beau.

THE Chicago 1ribue says that
there is the strongest evidence of a
combination having been effected be-
tween the whisky ring and the Dem
ocratic investigators at Washington
for the purpose Of blackesing the
name of BRIsTow before the people.
The motives of one party to this plot
are revenge and hate, and of the 9TH
er ambition for power and the pos
session of office. A series of attacks,
backed up by perjury, have been ar
ranged and may be expected.

TIE Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Enquirer has one
trait which we like. 1t is trait
which you don't find overfowing tss
any great extent in the average
Democratic press writer, and there
fore it is the more to be commended
in the case of this correspondent
He will occasionally tell the truth, lef
it hurt whom it may. In a recenr
letter he says:
"I have come TO the conclusion
that if the Democratic House ex
poets to do q thorough business II
the reform line, they had better lick
their own platter first. Purify those
that be of the household of faith
and then preach purity to the Gen
tiles"
The correspondent is forced te
say this after looking into the ante
cedents of Fltzhugh, the Door-keepel
of the House. Those antecedents
consist of sundry indictments, and
dispositions, from Kentucky, charg
ing said Fitzhugh with offense:
against the "peace and dignity of the
Commonwealth" Their examina
ton and creditability compels thu

"has deUirs record" And this il

Candidate for Congress.

EDITOR JoURNAL:-The time is
close at hand when the Republicans
of the Eleventh Congressional Dis
trict will have to select a candidate
for Congress to fill the place so well
and ably misrepresented by the pres
ent incumbent. The coming contest
will certainly be one of the hottest
and bitterest campaigns this district
has known for many years. l hon
estly think. that it behooves the Re-
publicans of Gallia county e
about them and ascertain ~
will support in the coming y
can Convention. It's time we
lay aside all our petty prefer !.
jealousies and local pride, and \
our united support to man who
be able to stand the fire from M
guns of deceit, Misrepresentation,
demagogueisms, investigations, cal
umnies, &C., that the lying, dis
loyal, inflated Democracy will bring
into action in the coming campaign.
The Republicans should act wisely,
and not throw away a golden oppor-
tunity to redeem the Iron District
from the hands of demagogues.
have carefully canvassed the merits
and dement's of the gentlemen that
l have heard mentioned for Con
gressional standard bearer, and ac-
cording to my way of thinking, there
is none that fills the bill any better
than the Hon. Henry Neal, of Iron
ton. He has represented the people
several times in positions Of honor
and trust, and he has always proved
himself faithful and honest in every
public trust confded to him.
Mr.. Neal is a man of more than or.
dinary ability,a good moral character,
has pure and clear political record
and above all other qualifications, is
a straightforward, honest, upright
man. If Mr.. Neal should be select
ed to represent the Iron District, we
would never hear of him being mix
ed up in any such disgraceful mat
ters as Credit Mobilier, Salary Grab
Real Estate Pool, Pacific Mail, Post
leadership and Printing Contracts
Political bummers and thieves would
never find favor with Mr.. Neal, and
he would make true, able, honest
and honorable Representative.

Three Points for COnsidera-
ton.

During the past five years the VEGE-
TINE has been steadily working itself
into public favor, and those who were at
first most incredulOus in regard to its
merits are now its most ardent friends
and supporters.
There are three essential causes for
those having such horror of patent
medicines, changing their opinion and
lending their influence toward the ad-
vancement of VEGETINE. 1st-It is
an honestly-prepared medicine from
barks, roots and herbs. 2d-It honest
ly accomplishes all that is claimed for
it, without leaving any bad effects In the
system. 3d-It presents honest vouchers
in testimonials from honest, well-known
citizens, whose signatures are suffi-
cient guarantee of their earnestness in
the matter. Taking into consideration
the vast quantity of medicine brought
conspicuously before the public through
the flaming advertisements in the news
paper columns, with no proof of merit
or genuine vouchers of what it has
done, we should be pardoned for mani
Testing small degree of pride in pre-

The Tired Body Sues for Sleep.
BosToN, March le, 1874.
H. r. STEVENS, ESQ.,:
Dear Sir-It is as much from a sense
of duty as of gratitude that l write to
say that pour VEGETINE-even it it
is patent medicine-has been of great
help to me when nothing else seemed to
avail which could safely use. Either
excessive mental work or unusual care
brings upon me nervous exhaustion
that desperately needs sleep, but as des-
perately defies it. Night after night the
poor, tired body sues for sleep until the
day-dawn is welcomed back, and we be-
gin our work tired out with an almost
fruitless chase after rest. Now have
found that little VEG EIfNE taken
just before l retire gives me sweet and
immediate sleep, and without any of the
evil effects of the usual narcotics. L
think two things would tend to make
brain-workers sleep. 1st-A little less
work. 2d-A little more VEGETINE.
This prescription has helped me.
Now | have IL particular horror of
''patent medicines" but L have great
er horror of being afraid to tell the
straight out truth. The VEGETINE
has helped me, and own it up.
Yours, &C.,
