More Careless Cunning On Saturday
afternoon young man named Scatch-
err Campbell, went out from Newport
for rabbits, being accompanied by
Harry Wingert and Elmer Ziegler.
The dogs ran a rabbit into pile of
rails, the Wingert and Ziegler boys went
to one end of the pile, while Campbell
with the gun was at the other. Ziegler
held his hand over a hole, while the
other boy was looking in, when Camp
bell fired, eight shots entering Ziegler's
hand, and other shots taking effect in
Wingert's face, one going into his eye,
destroying that valuable organ. 1t is
time some action was taken to prevent

Information Wanted. - About twenty
years ago, there lived in Juniata county,
Pa, somewhere along the Black Log
mountain, a family by the name of Nc
Gurvey. In addition to the father and
mother, there were twin daughters, three
years old, who were separated at that
time, and they have never been able to
hear of each other since, owing, no
doubt, to their extreme youth when
parted. The one sister is now resident
of Newport, and is anxious to learn, if
possible, the whereabouts of her long
lost sister, who, it has been ascertained
was taken by one Mr.. John Thompson,
who removed, about the same time, from
Juniata county to some one of the west
ern states, most likely Iowa The then
little girl who accompanied Mr.. Thomp-
son was named either Juniata or Sus-
quehanna McGurvey. Any person
kindly furnishing information that will
assist in bringing the long lost sisters to-
gether will be gratefully remembered by
those Immediately interested. Exchang-
es will confer favor by making note
of the above circumstances. Address
Solomon Zeigler, Newport, Perry coun-
ty, Pa.

THE eovERNoRsHrp.

We have at no time yet expressed
a preference for a Democratic candi-
date for Governor of Ohio, in the ap-
preaching campaign. We believe
We have one among the many very
distinguished and able persons men,
toned for the position. All named
are good and popular with the peo-
pie, and it makes no difference which
one is selected as the standard bear
er of our party, he will receive the
hearty support ofthe DEMOCRAT, and
of the friends of Reform in Preble
county. But, Notwithstanding our
indifference as to the choice of the
Convention to meet on the 25th of
July, we felt a little interested as to
the opinion of Democrats in other
parts of the State in regard to the
question, and while in Columbus at
tending the meeting of the State
Central Committee, we made it a
point to "~interview" and get the ex-
preston of many of the leading De
mocrats there present, as to who the
honors of the nomination would most
likely fall upon, and from what we
could gather, we have made up our
mind that the successful candidate
will be either Gen. WARD, Hon. GEO.
L. CONVERSE or Gen. A. V. RICE.
PAYNE is talked ofsome-but he can't
get it-don't want it and wouldn't
have it-neither do we believe would
Gen. EWING. McSwEENEY, MORGAN,
BISHOP and HUNT, all have admirers
and will receive some complimentary
votes, but we believe the contest will
be narrowed down to the three first
mentioned. SAMMY HUNT has many
warm and ardent admirers, and if he
had a few more years added to his
distinguished and devoted Democrat
ic life, would go through with a whirl.
In the event of CONVERSE or RICE's
nomination, he will be second choice
on the ticket, which will prepare him
for higher honors. Gen. WARD is
the ablest of the three that will take
the lead on the first ballotting, but
the "hard money" doctrine he preach.
ed a few years ago, will initiate a
gainst him some and probably cause
his defeat, as a greenback platform
will undoubtedly be adopted.

Lynchburg News (Dem.): Mr..
Hayes has honestly ceased to be a
Republican according to the Cincin.
natl platform and all proceeding
platforms, and according to the doc.
t%rines, teaching and practices Of all
the leaders and shining lights and
Christian statesmen from Iowa tc
Maine, say nothing of the Southern

fraud.

Old Simon Cameron evidently has
a poor and even contemptous feeling
for Hayes. Hethus writes to a New
Hampshire editor regarding the bar
gain the fraudulent President made
to get his stolen place:
"If any such bargain was ever
made, it must have been negotiated
by that new school of politicians who
indulge in modish sentimentalism
and cowardice, calling them states
manship, and go about sneering at
absolete courage and political conyic-
ton, calling them 'radicalism."
This is rather severe, yet we shall
not say it is not true. The whole
business of putting in Hayes was
utterly disgraceful.

At the meeting of the Democratic
State Central Committee last week,
we had the pleasure of making the
acquaintance of Hon. BERNARD KAHN,
Of jackson, who is prominently be-
fore the Democracy of Ohio as a can

is an intelligent, sociable and clever
German, is very popular in his own
county, well known throughout
Southern Ohio, and his nomination
would add strength to any ticket, and
if elected, would make an honest, eff;
fcient and popular State Treasurer.

The prospects for an immense
grain crop were never better, and
the acreage under cultivation is the
largest ever known in the history OF
the country. The acreage of wheat
is larger than the average, and the
prospects, good for an immense yield.
The acreage of oats is about one,
fourth larger than that of last year,
and the prospect for a big yields very
good. There never was so large an
acreage being put in corn. 1t is es-
timated that the yield will be one,
third larger than ever before produc,
ed in the country.
