Light on Girod's Ovation.

1t is astonishing that the people of
Jackson county did not hear the partic-
ulars in regard to Girod's Great Ovation
by the citizens of Oak Hill, on his arri-
val when released from Jail
TO those who would, perhaps, be glad
to hear, we shall explain all in the fol-
lowing quotation: But they made light
of it, and went their ways, one to his
farm, another to his merchandise"
Such was the ovation the "jail bird
received on his arrival at this place.
Probably the dogs, cats, mosquitoes,
flies. gnats, &c, gathered around him at
one of the saloons, and the distinguished
Prof. thought it was an ovation of the
people.
As to our agreement to assist him to
carry out his concert at jackson, we an
swer that the first intimation we had of
it was the advertisement in the Stand
ard.
Let the people of Jackson county un-
derstand that the Oak Hill Glee Club is
not SO easily humbugged, and that its
services cannot be secured by a swim
dler. OAK HILL GLEE CLUB.

OAK HILL, August 81.
On the arrival of Prof Girod from the
Jackson Jail, it would seem to stranger
that he was received with estimation,
but the fact was, he vas merely an OBJ
ject of curiosity. Inasmuch as he is a
voluble talker, he took adv antage of the
occasion, and soon crowd was seen to
gather around him (the Glee Club not
included) for the sake of knowing his
whole history as jailist and of his mar
row escape. 1t was not agreed by the
Glee Club to assist him in his concert at
Jackson.
l do not know of any one offering him
money. 1t has also been said that he
was escorted from the train to the hotel
by the citizens of Portland, which is ut
terly false, but, nevertheless, that inquis-
tive crowd might have followed him.
He is peculiar Girod.

From Monroe Furnace.


The Republicans of Monroe Furnace
are fully awake.
On Monday night a splendid meeting
was held, which indicated plainly that
there would not be many votes cast for
Tilden and Hendricks.
The meeting was called to order by
calling N. L. Burwell to the chair, and
electing w. s. Clendenin Secretary.
The exercises were opened by remarks
from C. A. Atkinson.
The records of the two parties. and the
claims of the candidates for the offices of
President and Vice President, were
briefly set forth. John L. Jones follow
ed, in rousing speech.
Some of the true inwardness" of the
Democratic party was shown in its true
colors.
The sham cry of Reform" made by
the Democratic party was treated in
good style by both speakers, and presen-
ted in its proper light After the speech
es the President called for signers to the
Constitution of the Hayes and Wheeler
Club.
About fifty names were placed upon
the roll
The Republicans of Monroe are now
prepared for the campaign, and will do
good work in this contest for the whole
ticket. More Democrats were present
than were ever known to he present at a
meeting of this kind before. Fully alive
to the importance of this campaign, the
Republicans here are determined to do
their duty, and will do their duty at the
coming elections.
