LITLIEIe.IIN1E1 ~
The Wool Market.

Farmers are naturally very back
ward in bringing in this years clip
of wool, owing to the great fall IN
prices. Wool which brought forty
two cents this time last year will not
bring more than twenty-six now. A
great many, however, are selling at
the low rates of from twenty-five to
thirty cents for washed, and from
eighteen to twenty cents for un-
washed. This falling off in prices is
owing in a great measure to the
bankrupt state of Eastern mills, two
thirds of which are either closed or
running on half time 1t is estimated
by experienced dealers the market is
flooded with enough manufactured
goods to supply the demand for two
years, and enough wool for another
year. The goods themselves can be
bought for less than the wool in
them cost. All these things con-
spire to bring the demand, and con-
sequently the market price, down to
a very low ebb.

For the Benefit of the Editor of
the Highland News we would say,
that the third party, that were mar
ried at this place, on Thursday, 18th
inst, was a colored couple, and as
the editor of the News, seems hard
up for local items, the next time that
wedding of this kind takes place in
Greenfield, we will send him the
particulars of the same, as an item
of news Greenfield Chief.
1t seems then, that the reason the
Chief did not publish the names oil
the third couple was because they
had the misfortune to be "colored
people," A paper protesting to be
Republican ought to be ashamed to
make such distinctions.

members on the floor. He took a
deep interest in all the great and ag-
itating questions then before Con-
gress, including those pertaining to
the reorganization of the lately re-
volted States, and acted uniformly
in accord with the Republican line Of
policy in reference to these meas
ures.
Gen. Hayes has been elected Gov
ernor three times. The first was in
October, 1867, when he defeated
Hon. A. G.. Thurman (now Senator)
by majority of 2,91O. Two years
later 1S69,) he was elected over Geo.
81. Pendleton by 14,5O1 majority,
and in 1875 he was renominated and
and reelected by 5,544 majority
over William Allen, who had been
Governor for two years.

Commencement of the
High School.

Music Hall has seldom been SO crowded as on
last Thursday evening on the occasion of the grad
uating exercises connected with the High School
department of our Union Schools The weather
was very warm and tie discomfort of the large au-
dence was greatly increased by the want of proper
ventilation which is srch serious defect in this
otherwise fine and commodious hall-(a defect, let
us say in passing, which could be easily remedied
at a comparatively small expense by opening three
or four ventilators in the ceiling) That SO many
people were willing to sit and stand (for hun
dreds did SOY for two hours, under such circumstan-
ces, in order to encourage by their presence and
sympathy the young iedies and gentlemen of the
graduating class, is the strongest proof that could
be given of the deep al earnest interest which ali
feel in the welfare and success of our noble Com
mon Schools-"the People's Colleges as they have
been happily termed.
The graduating class numbered nine-six young
ladies and three young gentlemen. Their names
and the titles of their q duating essays as fol-
lows:
Matte Cooper, HiIis,. .ro- Buried Treasures

Ida H. Willetts, Hillsboro-Crosses and Crowns
Jessie El1ifritz, Hlsboro-Practise What You
Preach.

All the essays were well written, and with two or
three exceptions audibly delivered. Several were
marked by originality in thought and expression,
and all were fully up to the ordinary standard of
literary merit in graduating addresses.

ernment affairs; showing the workings of the as

Ohio has very pretty cottage, built from the
stone quarres of Ohio, where you can register and
make yourself at home. Almost all the other States
and foreign nations are likewise represented.
In the Womsn's Pavilion is displayed what wo-
man can do, outside of washing and cooking. The
display is fine and tastefuIly arranged, and always
attracts crowds of visitors. The needIe-work and
drawings by Queen Victoria and her daughters,
always attract attention, on account of labor per-
formed by royalty being a novelty in this country.
Agricultural and Horticultural Halls are both ex-
tensive buildings, and contain a fine display of
products of the farm and garten, and agricultural
implements. The glass-worxs aud the shoe and
leather departments both have large force at
work, and always attract crowds of spectators.

newspapers of the u s. are ON file, and called for

Those who have been postponing their visit on ac-
count of the display not being complete, need not
delay any longer, and owing to the great competi-
ton among hotel keepers, and the business being
overdone to great extent, the prices are now as
low, or lower, than the same accommodations can
be had for in Cincinnati. Good meals can be had
on the grounds at from 5Oc. to ST. and good fare in
the city hotels at from $l.5O to 50 per day.
There is nearly always sea breeze stirring here,
which makes it more comfortable than in our hot

OUR sTANDARD-REARER,
Gov. r. 3. Hayes.

I
Rutherford Birchard Hayes was
born in Delaware, Ohio, October 4,
1922. His parents, Rutherford
Hayes and Sophia Birchard, were
natives of Windham county, Yer
mont, and emigrated to Ohio in 1877.
His first American ancestor of the
name of Hayes was George Hayes, a
Scotchman, who settled in Windsor,
Connecticut, about 1850. His moth
er was descended from John Birch
ard, who came over with his fathers
family from England in 1886, and
became one of the principal proprie
tors OF Norwich, Connecticut. Three
OF his great grand fathers, Daniel
austin, Israel Smith and Elias Birch
ard, were members of the revolution
s'y army, the latter dying during his
't-rrn of service.
= In 1842 r.. 3. HAYES graduated at
Kenyon College with the first hon
ors of his class, of which he was the
youngest member, and during the
same year he began the study Of law
with Thomas Sparrow, ESQ.,, at Co
lumbus. In 1S45, he graduated at
the law school of Harvard Universe
ty, was admitted to the bar at Mari
eta, and began the practice of his
profession at Fremont, O. in part
nership with Gen. Ralph P. Buck
land. In 1849 he removed to Gin
cinnati, and in 1852 was married to
Lucy Ware Webb, daughter of DIR.
James Webb and Maria Cook, of
Chillicothe. In 1856 he was nomi-
mated for Judge of Common Pleas,
but declined the nomination. In
1858, the Office of City Solicitor be-
coming vacant by the death of Judge
Hart, he was unexpectedly elected
by the City Council to fill the vacan-
cy, and in 1859 was reelected by the
people for full term, running over
500 votes ahead of his ticket. He
held this Office until the spring of
1861, discharging its duties, as a
local journal stated, $50 as to even
extort the highest praises from his po-
htical antagonists.
