cles in his paper, we hold that lie should
mention these facts, just as l,e. would
where other parties are the sufferers. =
/ Some ofour friends think we ought
not to mention these :acts in our paper,
AZ they createsa bad impression abroad.
But we have always thought that our
duty was to go on showing up the ad.
yantages Of our location and the high
character Of our community, and when.
ever any evil like intemperance, or row.
dyism, or public corruption, showed its
head, to notify tile people and endeavor
to rally them to put it down. land then
proclaim to the world that we had a
community with moral force enough to
nip all such things in the bud. We
want to proclaim this, and we ask the
better portion of the community to join
with us now and let us check the. ten
dency to rowdyism which crops out in
various ways, and the tendency among
our young people to ill-bel,avior in
public. ..,.. 49,;
Some have told us that they never
saw Il community in which there was
80 little of malicious mischief and of
violent rowdyism rs there is here
This we have often said ourselves
But we ought not, rs a candid and i'm
partial journalist, to -be debarre,l from
mentioning, or even attacking severely,
any cases that do arise. Werepeat that
we need an ordinance, such as we indi-
Gated in our last issue, and that our vii
lage has attained to- such, proportions
now that we need u town marshal on
duty. -. /; ~, ID:
The ADVANCE las been charged with
creating the impression that all our
young mon and boys are rowdyisl.-
This charge is not fair. We have re-
peatedly said this was not the case.-
Five or six yonng men and as many
boys, are probably all that engage in
disorderly overt acts, and to whom all
the cases mentioned can probably be
traced. AS to the better class of young
men, there are dozens of them in and
about Worthington, who deserve and
have the respect of the community and
will be tit companions for your sons and
daughters when you arrive here with
them. 49,.
In conclusion, we say to our readers
abroad, come to the National Colony,
if you wish to find 4 llealthful climate,
a rich soil, an intelligent and moral Pc
ople, and country which, under the
stimulus of two railroads, will soon
blossom like garden. Come and help
us maintain the temperance feature and
order. Come and strengthen
our churches and our Sabbath Schools.
Come and help develop our towns and
our prairies.

Bound to Vote.

If there is pluckier or more patriotic
man in this city than Mr.. Charles A.
Frech we should like to have his Landyo-
type forthwith. He lived in the Four
teenth Ward at the time of the October
election, and voted at its polls. A few
days after he moved into the Twenty
third Ward, and last Tuesday went to
vote for President, but had his vote
challenged and refused, as he had not
lived the required thirty days within the
wards limits To say that Charles felt
chagrined at this refusal would be but
mildly expressing his feelings. Just
then his friend, George Schoonmaker,
came along, and to him Charley impaired
the story of his woe. "'Tis tarnation
bad" said George, "but l don't see how
it can be helped. The law requires all
single men to reside thirty days in the
ward, township or precinct in which they
offer their ballot" Why, is there any
difference in this respect between mar
ried men and single menG" queried
Charley. "Of course, " was the response
of Schoonmaker; "a married man has
only to live ten days in the ward. "
Then" calculated Charles, "Tll vote
before nightT Away he started, and in
short time, in company with friend,
he presented himself at the residence of
his sweetheart, Miss Elizabeth A, Sigle,
in Covington. 1t was then about noon,
and there was no time to lose. He soon
unfolded the purpose of his visit, and in
his sweetest silver tones implored Miss
Lizzie to marry him forthwith. Miss
Sigle had no objections to marrying him,
but she protested that she could not do
it that day. "You must, or l will lose
my vote" Still the maiden was OBJ
durate, and held out for further time.
In this dilemma Charley's friend called
the girl to one side and whispered in her
ear that if she did not do as requested
Charley would vote in Covington, and
then he would be arrested and sent to
States Prison at Frankfort. What
loving girl could resist such an appeal!
Miss Sigel couldn't, and she didn't. She
consented to save her love from Frank
fort, and to give him chance to vote
he and his friend departed for Cincin-
natl for marriage-license, which was
quickly procured, and then Charley re-
turned to Covington for his mate. She,
looking rs lively as fresh-blown rose
and as sweet as honey, sprang lightly
into carriage, and was soon driven to
the residence of the Rev. Mr.. B., who
made her Mrs. Frech in short meter. By
five o'clock in the afternoon Charley was
back at the Twenty-third Ward polls,
and this time there was no objection to
the vote, which he proudly deposited

The boldest robbery ever perpetrated
in this city was effected on Wednesday
evening at an early hour in the freight
Office of Thomas Cornell & Co., of this
city. About half-past six o'clock ST.
mon X. Winchell, the clerk in charge,

he heard a noise at the outer door.
Stepping to the door of the inner office,
he looked out and saw man of whom
he asked; "What can do for your" He
was at once greeted with, Look outr'
and the person struck him in the face and
grabbed him by the throat. The assail-
ant, who was heavy man, pushed him
around the office and out into the ware
house, where three other ruffians, after
kicking and beating him, finally flung
him face down on the floor. Then one of
them put sponge to his mouth, another
sat on one arm, and the third man on the
other arm, while the chief robber rolled
barrel of sugar on his legs. His pock-
cts were then rified of about S36 in
money and the safe keys. The robbers
Immediately robbed the safe of between
$400 and $500. All this took place within
fifteen minutes, as young Higgins, who
is employed in the office, had left it about
half-past six, and returned about quar-
ter before seven, when he found Win

mittees representing the Republicans

former we're Messrs. Garfield, Tuttle,
Sherman, Hale and Stoughton; the latter,

that the board would first take up the
parishes in which there were no con-
tests; then those in which there
were contests; next, those in
which there we're objections. The coun-
sci for the Democrats asked the adop-
tion of motion that the sessions of the
board be public and press reporters be
allowed to be present, which the Chair
man stated could not be entertained, as
the board had decided to admit only
the national committees and their
reporters. The protest made by
the Democrats on the 18th against
the constitutionality of the board, etc,
was overruled A protest against pro-
ceeding until the vacancy in the board
was filed, there being no Democratic
member, was presented. The election
to fill the vacancy was postponed and the
board commenced the canvass of the
votes.
