A SINGULAR DREAM.-An Amesbury

A SINGULAR DREAM.-An Amesbury
Mass man had singular dream, under
the following circumstances His father
and mother had recently died within
three or four weeks of each other, and
one night in dream he saw his mother
standing by his bed, and little distance
away he saw a cot bed, with peculiar
coverlet, on which lay man, with his
back turned toward him. His mother
called him by name, and said, "Here are
seven dollars" He attached no signif-
canoe to the dream until when he. went
to the post Office he received letter
stating that his brother, who was on
Western road, had been badly crushed,
and requested his presence Immediately.
On arriving at his brothers home, he was
struck with surprise when he found him
lying on cot bed, with the same kind Of
coVerlet as he had seen in his dream,
with his back turned toward him. The
brother died, and the gentleman was still
more astonished when on settling his af-
fairs, the first bill presented was just
seven dollars in amount. Strange as the
dream may seem, it is told by the man
himself, and he is a gentleman whose
yeracity no one would impeach.

PRESS ASSOCIATION, AND LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN:
1.-THE Press is a mill that grinds all that is put
into its hopper. Fill the hopper with poisoned
grain, and It will grind 1t to meal, but there Is
death in the ebread."-Bryant.
Whether the newspaper press shall
build up or pull down; whether it shall
stimulate morality or encourage vice /;
whether it shall give healthfulness to
thought and vigor to action, or palsy the
hand aud fetter the tongue of them who
would expose the myriad forms of mod
ern Pharisaism depends mainly upon the
character and purposes of those who con-
troll and direct it. More than 5000 news
papers are published on this continent,
and each and every one of them, in its
degree, qllickcns or retards the growth
of the human race in plolic intelligence
and private virtue. For, the newspaper
press thinks for those who care not to
think for Neutrality-suspicious. whose
chosen nest is other mems opinions. 1t
formulates and crystalizes opinion, cloth
ing it in the garb of winning or repellant
words. 1t may not create public senti-
ment; but it shapes, develops and di-
rects it. 1t makes of inward conviction
and silent belief living, breathing reali-
ties; and, speaking with myriad tongues
day after day, causes them to enter into
every nook and corner of our daily life.
BY its newspaper is the community
Judged; for the newspaper seldom rises
higher or falls lower than the level of its
average constituency. To its public it is
what the warp is to the woof; and the
warp and the woof make up that social
fabric which varies from the familiar
homespun of the Western village to the
gorgeous tapestries of the Eastern me-
tropolis.
This, in brief, is journalism a subject
so vast as to be almost without bounds.
But it has two main parts or divisions (;
the one including whatever relates to the
management of newspapers as business
undertakings, and the other covering the
relations of the newspaper to the public.
This last have taken as my theme to-
day; and I shall strive to indicate what
qualities the public naturally expect to
find in a journalist; what are his princi-
pal obligations to the public, and the OBJ
legations of the public to him. 1t is not
my hope or wish to expound any novel
principles ofjournalism; for whatever I
say that is true, must, of necessity, be
old. It will content me if 1 can show,
very imperfectly, what is the inter-depen-
dence of press and public, the debit and
credit, so to speak, of journalism.
We are told that what is written stands,
and passes not away. The spoken word
rolls through the ambient air to the utter
most verge of space. As the stone sends
ripping rings to the farthest edge of the
body Of water into which it is cast, SO
rolls the smallest wave of sound to the
confines of the subtle ether which sur
rounds this grosser atmosphere. And
the awful thought has come to specula-
tive philosophers that on some later day,
and in other worlds than ours, every man

he is in my way" But his whisper was
succeeded by dreadful feeling of fear,
and Maj. Egan, acting upon this fear,
hastily dragged the poor Captain into an
adjoining room, and closing the door
locked out this temptation to crime, AT.
ter carefully securing his Office, he wen-
ded his way to his luxurious suite of
apartments at - Hotel, his heart filled
with bitter chagrin and disappointment,
and the words, "foiled," "foiled," impa-
tiently escaping his lips.
The night wore slowly away, and at
the first peep of day, the ease-loving
Maj. Egan had left his luxurious couch,
and had sought the chamber in which
his ally had spent the night upon the
carpetless floor. With heart brimful
of mischief, but his lips framing smooth
phrases full of honied words, Maj. Egan,
as he ascended the long, narrow stairs,
muttered: "He must be mine; he must
work for me at any cost, and 1 possess
the open sesame for gold is power"
He approached the door of the cham
Der; it was open, the prisoner had es-
capped, and upon small table lay an
open sheet of paper with these words
written in legible characters:
"'You are watched,
The girl is guarded
J. B."
The lock of the door being a. very
ordinary stock lock, although Richard
Egan had locked the door upon his col
leaugue to prevent escape, Capt. Bennett,
with the help of his pocket knife, found
no difficulty in pressing back the bolt,
and thus making good his exit.
For hours Maj. Egan locked in his
Office, with knitted brow and wrathful
heart, vainly devised means to make
Marion Maham his bride, even against
her will. But Richard Egan was not a
brave man, and his master passions
love of money and position-were pow
erful rivals to his passionate admiration
of Marion Maham, an admiration which
had been already well nigh blotted out
of his heart by his fierce desire for re-
venge for the supposed insult she had
offered in the naughty refusal of his
persistent addresses. The cold slave of
policy, he, although burning with re-
venge, now that his burst of passion was
over, calmly considered the high position
and wealth he had acquired, and the
danger of ruin and disgrace to him
should his plans be discovered. Thus
coldly balancing the pros, and cons of
his vile scheme, he determined until a
willy agent, and one willing to take the
whole risk of the vile work from him,
could be found, he would yield to policy
what he had refused to honor and to pity.
Having come to this resolution, he
arose from his seat, saying: "I yield
now to necessity; but I bide my time"
The knitted brow was smoothed, the
stern lips resumed their wonted smiles,
but the heart was withered; and now,
doubly barred against gentle mercy's
just and mighty claims, Richard Egan
passed out of his Office reproyed but
hardened man.

What 1t must claim, what tne puDllc re-
quire of it, is honesty of purpose. This
is the paramount need of the journalist.
Without it, Responsibility and Fearless
ness and Independence count for Little.
Remember, that insincerity in journalism
is more injurious than in private life, be-.
cause the printed and published equiyo-
cation or deceit goes forth to thousands
who see it and are affected byit. When,
then, journalist publishes what he does
not believe, or defends what in his heart
he condemns, or cringes to prejudice for
his own or his party's good, he is as
many times a falsifer and deceiver as
there are sheets on which his words are
printed. A journalist, of course, should
be loyal to the political party with which
he is in sympathy. There is nothing dis
honest in that. But political parties are,
in their purity, the exponents of we'll
defined and understood political princi.
pies, and the Press should not allow
those principles to be overlooked or for
gotten. In being the supporter of q par.
ticular party the newspaper is, or should
be, the exponent Of its principles; not
the mere mouth-piece Of the leaders OF
the party, defending them and their aims,
whether consonant with party principles
or not. A newspaper, whatever the fer
vor of its personal allegiance, cannot be
false to the governmental principles
which are the reason of that party's be-
ing, and still truly be the representative
of the party. 1t must talk plainly and
constantly when a party is SO controlled
that the objective of its managers is op-
posed to the purpose for which the party
was formed; and that purpose is, and
always must be, not the preferment of in.
dividuals, but the good of the State and
the Nation.
Just here 1 venture to remind you of
the difference between political princi-
pie and those moral principles which
form the moral law. Whosoever steals is
thief, and whosoever murders is muir.
derer. There is no room there for doubt

defeat, and, therefore, are QUICK 70 cen-
sure those who were conspicuous in dis
astrous fight, should take heed, both press
and public, lest our inactivity or dristrust
or obstinacy was instrumental in making
that rout which else had been victo-
ry.
When then any body of persons call
upon the press to grapple with great
wrongs, to expose evil.doers, to crush
vice in the bye-ways and expose fraud
and rascality in high places, those per.
SONS must sustain that press heartily and
ungrudgingly. Its revenue or business
income is to the newspaper what the
voice is to the orator, and his verse is to
the poet. 1t is, what, in man, the body
is to the mind. The newspaper may
hunger and be honorable; it may thirst
and be true. But it is easier, my friends,
to be honorable and true if hunger and
thirst be satisfied, and there is, to them,
no care for the morrow.
In dealing with the press the public
should Judge as they would be judged,
and do as they should be done by; they
should recognize the many hardships and
few rewards Of the journalists life; they
should require only that the journalist
be faithful to the best that he knows,
and, knowing that and feeling it, they
should hold up his hands in what is, ct
last, their battle, and must be their gain
or loss. For the journalist cannot pros.
per in his profession unless the cause of
the public be his own. If he run counter
to their best interests, he viii go down as
he ought to 90 down, Only see to 1t, you

THIS age is progressive one, and i'm
provements arc continually suggesting
themselves in almost every department of
human life. Labor-saving inventions and
machinery are eagerly sought for, to ac-
complish in few hours time what usual
ly was the toll of days and even weeks.
The farm, the household, the workshop,
the factory, all possess unmistakable evil
dence of this wonderful age of progress.
1t remained, however, for the eminent
house of Lord & Taylor, well known as
one of the leading dry goods firms of New
York city, 10 introduce vast improvement
in the old shopping method, and to make
shopping easy" for every lady in The
country. There is no reasonable excuse
for ladies to fatigue themselves with trav-
el, and to undergo IFS hundred and one an
noyances, when they can purchase every
articlc,needed for the wardrobe or house
hold without leaving their homes Messrs
Lord & Taylor will send, on application,
free of charge, samples of the newest
goods for autumn and winter wear, with
prices attached to each, together with
complete descriptive catalogues of their
handsome stock of ladies' and misses un-
deTYear. Selections from these are readi-
ly made; orders for goods received, filled
by the house, and returned by fast trains
to the purchaser. This surely is a mater
ial Improvement for the slow method of
former days, as by this system time, mon
ey, labor and annoyances are all saved.
The business standing of this eminent
house makes this announcement worthy
of attention, as they can be relied upon
implicitly TO accomplish whatever they
advertise TO do

HANCOCK COUNTY FAIR.
ITS GENERAL FEATURES AND ITS
CONTINUED SUCCESS.

The Hancock County Agricultural
Society held its twenty-fifth Annual
Fair, at Findlay, o., beginning on We'd
nesday, Oct. Ash, and continuing until
Saturday evening.
The weather, most of the time was
pleasant, but cool. 1t rained very
little, but not enough TO materially in
terfere with the enjoyment of the oc-
casion.
The attendance was not quite as
large as in other years, but yet was
very good. The absence from the list
of running races no doubt had much
to do with the absence of a large mum,
Der usually in attendance at our coun-
ty Fair.
We heard but one opinion rs to the
exhibition of fruits, both canned and
green, that it was the best the county
has seen for many years. The stock
department was ali average represen-
tation. The following is list or en-
tries, in all about 1,240:

marble cake.
There were usually g cd displays OF
fruits. We can not say as much for
flowers. There was not large variety
of flowers, but what were there were
tastifully arranged. Miss Florence C..
Glessner had the finest display of roses,
and cut flowers on exhibition. Mrs.
II. j. Strother took the premium for
best arranged boquet, and Mrs. s.
Alexander for variety verbenas.
Messrs A. r. and W. W. Strother,
B. J. McBill. VIM. Thomas, s. Alex
ander, and Mrs. John Cusace, were
the principal competitors in the fruit
department.
There were thirty one entries in the
department of Domestic Manufacture.
Mrs. ii. B. Henderson had on exhibit
tion 10 yards of rag carpet, Mrs.
Amanda Hoy one pair of single cover
Tets, Sarah Ii. Trout one patch work
quilt (first premium 50, Mrs. G. Bal
entine one Bed Spread, Mrs. L. Blosser
Counterpart, Anderson, Winders & Co.
factory made cloth, cashmere, satinet
and flannel goods, and Mrs. D. Hoy,
Bard flannel, all OF which took premi-
ums.
Mr.. Fred Selbach and G. w. Wal
ters took premiums for Musical Instru-
ments.
There were some fine specimens of
Shell and Ornamental work. A Closed
Medley, by Mrs. JOIN ShuIl. Hair
Wreathe by Miss Lizzie Fellers, and a
bea utiful Feather WIeathe by Mrs. L.
Blosser were deservip. of special men
ton.
The premium for Best Display of
Pictures, aud Best Oh Painting was
awarded to F. B. Zay.
We cannot close without referring TO
to the iine display of Harnesses made by
Ruhl Brothers, which attracted close at
te2tien and warm commentator. They
may naturally look for largely improved
trade as the result of their fine display.
Without intending TO omit anything
deserving special mention, we have
perhaps, done so. But while this may
be true, our readers can rest assured
that they were noticed in general, and
in detail by the large assemblage of
people that daily visited every part of
grounds, and made personal inspec-
ton of all-whicn is even better.
From the exhibition of articles of
produce at our County fair, from the
general interest manifested by people
Of all classes in their exhibition, and
from the large class of live, energetic,
progressive farmers, who leave no new
thing untried that has a tendency to
make farming easier and more remun-
eratiye, we may place Hancock Coun-
ty among the first in point of quality
and variety, amoEg the sister Counties
OF Ohio.
