a Word to Young Men.

At the next general election there
will be a large number of young
men who will cast their first ballot.
Many of this class of voters viii form
opinions and mark out a political
course that will be pursued through
out their lives As the first vote
is the first recognition of manhood
by the State, it is important that
that vote should be considered and
duly weighed before it is placed in
the box, and that the young man
who casts it may be conscientiously
convinced that he is voting right,
and that be is not giving his support
to the PRONUNCIATION of errors that
may eventuate in detriment to or de-
struction of the Government.
To young men who are to cast
their first ballot we would say:
Study carefully the history of the
two parties for the past fifteen years.
Compare the records of each since
1861, and then decide as to which
party we are indebted for united
country and a substantial Govern
ment. Decide within your own
mind which party has been guilty OF
treason and which remained loyal to
the old flag, and by force of arms
sustained and perpetuated the Gov
ernment under which we now live.
Determine which party furnished the
soldiers and statesmen that prosecu-
ted the war and reconstructed the
Government that it did not perish in
the first century of its existence.
Discriminate as to the present posi-
ton of the two parties on the impor-
tant questions of finance, labor, free
schools, Church and State, and all
other questions that concern the
welfare and prosperity of our people
as a nation. This done, you will be
able to vote intellgently, and to de-
posit your first ballot for the party
of the Union

clan sat up with him until about IL
o'clock Friday night, when they laid
down. About half past 2 o'clock his
brother went to his bedside and found
him dead.
Mr.. Woodbridge was a graduate
of Kenyon College, o. He was
elected tetas State Senate in 1869,
and serxea,one term, after which he

EDITOR NEws:-SinceI wrote you
last have received the good old
News and find it as newsy as in
times past. --.-
The election which took place in
this State on the 7th, terminated as
every one expected, in the usual
Democratic majority. In this coun-
ty it was very exciting in conse-
quence of an Independent Demo
crat running for Sheriff. This place
gave Harper, Independent, 213 maj
all the white and black Republicans
voting for him. He was beaten by
the regular nominee by &c maj.
Some ten or twenty thousand dol
lars was spent by the candidates and
their friends. Votes were openly
bought and sold, and commanded
as high as $50 and S1OOI
Lille, the Republican candidate
for Appellate Judge, got majority
of $50. The county usually gives a
Democratic maj. of 800. Lille made
splendid race, although defeated.
We are now ready to work for Hayes
and Wheeler.
The farmers are all smiling over
the prospects for good crops. The
like was never known here. We have
had fine rains here every few days.
Wishing the News much success
