- The second month of the campaign
is nearly gone, and not the shadow of a
blot has been discovered in Gov. Hayes

it makes a decent one, which is refresh

Mr.. EDITOR Through the kindness
of friend, resident in your village, l
am in receipt of some copies OF your
periodical which | have given a very
faithful perusal. Beginning with the
first column ON the first page | conolud-
ed with the last column on the last page.
My interest therein arose in great mea-
sure from the fact that, about five miles
from your village, up the Cold River, !
drew my first breath and looked out for
the first time upon the light of this low
er world. And while | read about Wal
pole, Keene, Westmoreland, Chesterfield,
etc, it seemed as though | was living my
young life over again. And the name
of your own romantic village sends my
memory back to the time gathered Ill
lies on the ponds at the summit of Fall
Mountain, or when older, | drove an OK
team to haul timber for adjacent mills.
And | suppose the same mountain still
remains and the lilies though they
toll not nor spin still grow from the
depths of the mysterious reservoirs so
far above surrounding waters yet always
full.
But there is one thing for which en-
Wy New England, her singing and cul-
ture of music. Looking at your paper
for August 4th, l find the guests of the
Island House visited Towns Hotel and
sung and played. And then again A
feast of music" etc. Speaking of the
Reading Room the editor says, =" singing
has been quite prominent feature" &c
and then E. w. Locke gave an enter
tainment of song" &c. l wish l could
have been there. While in N. H. once,
l heard quartette sing " The Guardian
Genius of the Swiss and brought the
music and song to Missouri, but alas l
never heard it sung as heard it on the
granite hills of New Hampshire.
Last year | sent to 0. Ditson q Co.,
Boston, and obtained the pilgrim Faith
ers" and thought would listen once
more to the inspiration of that grand
song, but ah, we have the body but the
soul is wanting. A preacher is cold and
insipid if his soul is not in his theme.
So singer is simply and only mechan-
ic unless he has a soul to mingle with his
song. New England temperament makes
her sons and daughters preeminent in
that accomplishment which the angels
manifested at the Saviour's birth. Take
away music and heaven itself would lose
half its joys, Like the first man / saw
who had heard Jenny Lind. Well, John,
said l, what do you think of Jenny
" Heaven has one more attraction" said
he, IF they sing like that there want
to 60"
The first evil spirit we read of was
cast out by the power of music and l
have the opinion that even for moral and
religious purposes good singing is prefer
able to poor preaching. 1t will cast out
more devils and leave the subject in a
far better condition. Do you suppose
the rebels of the south were familiar
with
" Aye, call it holy ground,
The spot where first they trOd -?
or with
My country. tits of thee
Sweet land of Liberty?

Aye, call it holy ground.
The spot where first they trOd -?
MY country. tits of thee.
Sweet land of Liberty -?

They knew nothing of themes like these,
or their arms would have been palsied to
their shoulder-blades the first blow they
struck at this fair fabric which our faith
ers reared in tears, and toll and blood.
Sing on then, sons and daughters of
New England. Sing of your country
and your glad homes among the hills
and valleys of your happy land, until
your voices and songs shall mingle with
the loved and lost who have gone before.

Appetfte n Necessity.

Appetite is a necessity. Without it, suf-
ficient food is not received into the
s.omach either to nourish the system or to
give the stimulus to the bowels which they
require. Both these organs and the liver
become torpid in consequence, and the
blood grows poor in quality and quantity.
Improve the appetite, therefore, and avoid
such results. This is most effectually done
with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, q tonic
appetizer and Alternative without peer.
1t gives not only an unwonted zest for
food, but enables the stomach 10 digest
and the system to assimulate 1t. Flatu-
lence, heartburn, nausea, and every other
concomitant OF Indigestion, are removed
by it, as are also biliousness and constipa-
ton. Each nerve and fibre OF the body is
made TO tingie with health by its use, and
1t is the leading remedy for despond ency.

MARTINS FERRY.

LAST Saturday was payday at the Ohio
City Mill, and the town seemed for the
time being turned into first class pan
denonium. Drunken men and boys
made the night hideous by their demoniac
cries. Infamed by imbibing an unlim-
tied amount of crooked whisky, by night
a goodly number of our first class roughs
were prepared for deeds that decent
Devil ought to be ashamed of; such as
beating peaceable men on the railroad,
smashing store windows, pulling paillngs
off of fences and preventing decent peo-
pie, particularly in the upper part ct the
town, from sleeping.
DEMPSEY, the man who was reported
fatally shot on the ferry boat short
time ago, (great pity the report hadn't
been true) and Postum Coss, severely
beat man by the name of Phillips,
BUCK BURRIs and boon companion,
James Ross, after imbibing freely, con-
cluded to have their photos taken. Buck
had his taken holding II roll OF green.
backs IN his hand; then james wanted to
see how he would look with the green
backs in his hand, and during Bucks
absence in the next room stepped out,
greenbacks and all, and Buck has not
seen him or the money, some $l4, since.
During all the turmoil only one
arrest was made. John Coss for at
tempting to get up a fight in Commercial
Saloon.
A LITTLE more energy and vigilance
displayed by our police force would be
very much approved by the law-abldlng
citizens.
ANOTHER grass widow was added to
the list yesterday.
The Ferry was visited yesterday
morning by very heavy rain.
YESTERDAY shortly after ! o'clock P.
~, the boiler house of the Benwood Fur
mace was discovered to be on fire, but in
spite of the efforts of the the citizens it
was burned down. The main effort
made, however, was to prevent the fire
reaching the engine house; this was more
readily done, as the wind happened to be
blowing in the opposite direction. Mr..
Armstrong informed us that $1,000
would most likely cover the loss. The
people of the Ferry will talk for few
DAYS now about the necessity Of fire en-
gines.

The wool market has again reported
an active week, the sales footing nearly
three times the aggregate OF week ago.
this Is simply a continuation Of the bust
ness last noted, and, as the transactions
include full accounts in almost all styles,
the inference is that the mills intend at
once commencing operations.
The large flannel sale of Faulkner,
Page n Co., to occur the coming week,
will probably be followed the next by one
made up by Parker, Wilder 4 Co, and it
i, in the certain distribution of these
goods that the wooden manufacturers ex-
meet lo see the season open in earnest,
and are now busy making preparations.
Those who run by steam or have large
wa .er power have an advantage just now
over their smaller competitors in the fact
that the long dry spell has used up most
vl the small streams, aud this is some
what no,iceable in the fact that very few
of the two and four.set mills have been
represented IN the purchases Of the week.
1t would seem that the large manutsc-
turers have come IN with some consider
able confidence, while they talk as
thong h they considered the market now at
about where it would stand for a month,
and they take advantage of this pros
pect;ve steadiness 20 make their selections
ont of the new woods which ae arriving
so freely.
As a rule the dealers are free sellers at
tie market price; on their part there
seems to be no disposition to speculate.
To a good buyer, one OF unmistaksble
credit, they are ready t. trade, but, for
all that, seem steady IN their prices.
There is in this difference from the
msneuvers of year ago Then prices
ranged good deal according to credits;
now the business proceeds upon bssis
10 as good rs cash trades. The effort 10
introduce four months and no interest
into the business has fallen through.
