The Highland weekly news. [volume] (Hillsborough [Hillsboro], Highland County, Ohio) 1853-1886, 1876-11-16

A vigorous campaign against the
grasshoppers has been decided upon
by the Governors of the Western
States and Territories at their recent
conference at Omaha. Both Con-
gress and State Legislatures are to
be asked to pass laws to carry into
effect the plans of the Governors,
which embrace the protection of in
sectivorous birds, and the offering of
bounties for the destruction of grass
hopper eggs and the unfedged in
sects. If a systematic plan is put
into successful operation during the
coming season it is probable that
substantial results may ensue, espec-
tally as a natural enemy has appear
ed in the form of another insect,
which destroys their eggs.

Scarcity of Money.

There is no doubt but the present con

try is fearfully depressed, and it behooves
every family to look carefully to their ex
penses. Winter is coming on, when chill
dren are liable to Group, Whooping Cough,
etc. Coughs and Colds will prevail every
where, and Consumption, with other
Throat and Lung disease, will carry of

REMARKABLE REcoRD.-The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad has averaged $4,000
passengers daily during the past five
weeks, and it is remarkable fact that
since the opening of the Centennial
not asingle passenger has been iniur-
ed on the road. This success has been
achieved by the clock telegraph sys-
tenn which has been established on
sA the divisions. Stations have been
erected at such intervals as render
accidents by collision almost impossi.
BILE, all trains being promptly inform
ed of the movements of those in close
proximity. The receipts of the
Pennsylvania railroad company du-
ring the last month were nearly
twice as much as was received at the
Centennial gates.

The general health of the country
is good. Weather has been very
fine this fall, for the farmers to get
their work done. Crops of all kinds
are fair average. We have large
surplus to sell. A large amount of
grain is being shipped from this point
this fall, some days five or six car
loads.
We have again been visited with
the Grasshoppers- They came here
the 5th and 9Th of September. They
were quite numerous in this part of
of the State, but did not do much
damage except to the fall Wheat.
They ate that all up. We still have
a chance to raise Spring wheat. The
farmers have been busy sowing Rye.
which is almost sure crop.
The 'hoppers have deposited an
immense quantity of eggs in the
ground. If they are not destroyed
in some way, young grasshoppers
will be as thick as hail next Spring.
The old settlers think they will not
do as much harm. I hope it viii be
so. Time can only tell
Our country is in a good, prosper
GUS condition. We have plenty of
grain and stock on hand to last US
for some time, so we are in much
better condition than we were two
years ago, and there will be nobody
likely to suffer. / will send you
little box with some grasshoppers
and some of their eggs for your in

Our political campaign has been

In addition to these, Hon. job

The law requires the Returning
Board of Louisiana to meet within
10 days after the election and can
vass the returns 1t may not there
fore meet before next Friday, Nov.
18th, and probably will not meet till
then, in order to give full time for
the returns to come in from the dis
tant parishes, and also for the arri-
val of the Northern gentlemen al
ready referred to.
In this position of affairs, it seems
that there is nothing to be done but
to wait patiently for the.lesult of the
official canvass. If it shall appear,
when the votes are fairly canvassed,
in the presence of witnesses of both
parties, whose integrity cannot be
impeached, that Gov. Hayes has re-
ceived majority of the honest votes
of the people of Louisiana, then the
result will be so declared, and will
no doubt be accepted by the great
majority of the people of both par
ties, no matter what a few excited
and fanatical politicians may say or
do to the contrary. If the decision
shall be in his favor, assuming S.
Carolina and Florida as conceded to
him, it will make him President of
the q. States for four years from the
4th of March next, and he will be
peaceably inaugurated. If on the
contrary, the decision is against him,
md it shall appear that N. Carolina
mas gone for Tilden, he will be the
next President, and all good citizens
will peaceably acquiesce in the re-
,ult.

infancy. The Truss and Remedy cost him
$40; but he places the cash value of their
benefit to him at more than ten times that
sum- From 1.-The Expositor," Sturgeon

LATEST!

Cincinnati papers of to-day Tues
day. report the situation unchanged
as to Louisiana. S. Carolina is now
generally conceded to Hayes. Ku-
klux outrages on the ballot boxes are
reported in West Florida, but an
honest count will be had, and will
give the State to Hayes.
To sum up, everything looks en-
couraging, as we go to press, and we
hope in our next issue to announce
that Gov. Hayes is elected beyond
all doubt.

Cool Coura ge.

The battle of Resacca, Ga, was
fought May Is, 1864. The national
troops occupied the place on the 10th,
and it became a sort of base of ope-
rations for the Sanitary and Chris
tian Commissions, for the field hos
pital established there, and for the
army moving South. 1t was also a
depository of supplies, munitions of
war, and of the wounded sent back
from the front.
Besides the field hospitals, mile
above, there stood in the center of
the village large, double two-story
building, of eight or ten rooms,
every available space of which was
filed with wounded, helpless soldiers.
A porch extended the whole length
of it's front, on the rail road side.
Between this and the rail track, and
just little way from the end of the
porch, there stood a rick of bomb
shells around telegraph pole. The
shells were each encased in a stout
pine box, and the rick was as large
as an ordinary dwelling. About
forty rods distant, stood a rick of
"hard tack" as large as barn, and
thousands of dollars worth of other
stores.
Two squares distant, on little
eminence, half a dozen of us occupi-
ed small room, as an Office of the
Christian Commission. On every
side, in the immediate vicinity, in
fragments of companies and regi-
ments, were thousands of soldiers in
camp.
One afternoon in the latter part
of May, there came up thunder
gust. 1t was raining hard. We
were sitting quietly in our room.
All at once there came a flash of
and crash of thunder
that started everybody to their feet.
The next moment the soldiers were
seen running through the streets
and over the hill for dear life.
I Istepped to the door, and glance
revealed the situation. The rick of
shells acas on fire, the lightning
having come down the telegraph pole
and fired the tow used for swabbing
the cannon. The sentinel lay pros
trated by the shock. The situation
was critical in the extreme. Should
the heat become sufficient to explode
a single shell, the village, with its
stores and troops, would be annihi- |
lated. No time was to be lost.
What could be done? A man in
charge of a squad of soldiers few
hundred yards distant, saw the cri-
sis; and with GOODNESS and prompt
ness equal to the emergency, seized
a bucket and ran, saying, 'I'll put
out that fire at the risk of my life.
With pole he threw out the burn
ing tow, and with the rain and buck
cts, he and the sentinel put out the
flames. Such performance required
nerve.
I reached the spot a few minutes
after. Thus two men of the same
name were introduced by thunder
and lightning; and who should they
be but the writer, and Bryant Rob
inson, of Westboro, Ohio?
Years had passed. The incident,
with its hero, was fixed in memory.

The Facts about Louisiana

Gov. Kellogg and other leading Republicans OF
Louisiana, assert most positively, that in five of the
strongest Republican parishes, viz: East Felici-
ana, West Feliciana, East Baton Rouge, Morehouse
and Ouachita, the Republicans have an honest ma
jority of not less than 4,OOO, while the Democrats
claim that the same parishes gave Tilden nearly T.,
900 majority Gov. Kellogg asserts that in East
Felicsna not single Republican uOte ,oas dlIored
10 be poiLed that in ouachita Deputy u S Marshal
was killed on election day, the polls taken pos
session Of aud by the White Leagues and that al
these parishes were overrun and intimidated by
armed bands of the White League before and on
the day of the election.
he further states that these five parishes have
always been Republican, having given 5000 Repub-
ican majority in 1872, as returned by the fusion
Democratic Board, and Republican majority of
$500 in 1874, as is conceded by the Democratic
State Committee. He adds: "The vote claimed
by the Democrats in these parishes pas procured
By Intimidation, riOence and assassination and the
proof of this is overwhelming and perfectly concu-
sive.''
In conclusion the Governor says:
"When the results of this election are investigat-
ed in detail, and am rejoiced that in the pending
exigeDcy, they will be, the Republicans of Louisia-
ma, their trials, their difficulties, and the injustice
they have long labored under, will be better un
derstood and appreciated by the people of the
North. All we want is fair and full hearing. We
have been revied and slandered for four years. and
are happy that at last the occasion Is about to
arise when we will get hearing, which will be lis
tened to and heeded.n
