DEATH On THE RAIL.-AbOut seven
o'clock Sunday morning, James Sen

Patrick Sennett, of this town, lost his
life by accident on the p. &. & St.
Louis Cor Pan Handle) II. r. at Pitts
burgh. He had just engaged as a
brakeman OH freight train on that
Road and was about to make his first
trip. 1t was arranged that he should
board the train as it emerged from the
tunnel, and in trying TO get upon the
locomotive, the track being greasy, his
foot slipped and he was drawn un-
der the wheels OF tho pOndrou us machine
having his right leg crushed at the knee
aud fractured at the thigh, his left leg
badly bruised and receiving internsl
injuries. He was picked up by the
next train and taken to Steubenville
where the right leg wac amputated but
he died from his injuries at about half
past three O'Clock in the afternoon.
His remains were brought to this
place Tuesday morning and his tuner

The Grain Crop OF Ohio.

Mr.. E. d. Mansfield. the veteran
observer" gives q very glowing ac-
count OF the crops in Ohio this year.
He estimates that there are 100000
acres of wheat, which, at eighteen
bushels per acre, will give Ohio in
1877, full 81, ,8OO,UO bushels of wheat.
Ohio, however, is corn, rather than
q wheat State, and she also yields q
great supply of oats. Never has there
been a year in which the crops, as q
whole, were as good as they promise
to be this year. Ten years ago the
l3O, 600 600 bushels. In 1870 the crop
was l51,OOO,OOO. This year it cannot
be put uuder ITO 100000, which, at
present prices, would be worth $780,
100000, Independent of hay, which
would be worth S2oOOO,O00: The clear
gain to farmers, after deducting all
their own living, will be at least $50
100000. In answer to the question
whether fair prices will be obtained
for this years products, Mr.. Mansfield
says: 81 think they will. The price
of farm products 10 now comparative
ly high, and as long as the Russo.
Turkish war lasts will remain so. But
suppose the war should cease, there
are still reasons why the prices of all
farm products must remain reasonably
high. Every year increases the de-
mand from England, and measurably
from all Western Europe, for Ameri-
can breadstuffs. and as we see in the
case of beef and provisions. for Amer
lean edibles. The export of American
beef will, of course, fall of in hot
weather, but as soon as Fall begins
will be larger than ever. Half OF all
the cheese made is exported. The
amount of lard and provisions export.

Universalist Church Dedication and Instal-
The services of the re-dedicatiOn of
the UuiversalistCh Church and the install.
lation of Rev. Andrew Wilson as the
pastor of the Society which took place
Oh Sunday were of very impressive
and interesting character. The dedi.
cation sermon in the morning was de-
livcrcd by Mr.. Wilson and was a very
able and pleasing one. The installa-
ton sermon in the afternoon was
preached by Rev. &. l.. Shipman, of
Girard, Pa, and was of a high order,
and is highly spoken of by all who
heard it. The address to the pastor
was deliyered by Rev. j. S. Gledhill,
of Kent and brief address to the
congregation by Rev. III. Garfield.
The singing by the choir of the church
assisted by the Kent Quartette was
most excellent. In the evening Rev.
Shipman preached again most excel
lent sermon, The house was well fill
ed at each of these meetings, and all
seemed we'll pleased with the exercis-
es throughout.

If you desire to call public atten-
ton to your business don't fail to take
a space in the clap.trap schemes OF
every galoot who comes along to swim
die you out of your scrip; but be
sure that you don't advertise in your
home paper, if 1t is opposed TO you
in politics, for you would thereby put
a club in the hands of your political
enemy to be used against your party.
OF course you don't want the patron
age of your political opponents, be-
cause, in the generosity and liberality
of your soul, you couldn't possibly
ask them to shove their polluted money
into your pure till. Don't fail to
carry your politics into your business
and thus show your exalted patriot
ism and build up your own fortune

number of Radical business men who

Correspondence
The dry weather of the last few days
has enabled most of the farmers to Sc
cure their wheat aud grass in good
condition. There is, however, quite a
large amount of grass not yet secured.
We hear considerable complaint that
late sowed oats are badly rusted. If
such is the case to any considerable
extent, the crop will not be as large as
expected. 1t is only occasionally that
there is such a large growth of Oat
straw as this year.
Several of our citizens are giving
their attention to the growing of ber-
ries; and thus far very successfully.
This year there has been sold about
800 bushels of strawberries, and about
200 bushels of raspberries. the major
part of which has been sold in Warren
and Youngstown, at a net of about
S., 80 for strawberries, and about SIS. co
for raspberries. Besides being profit
able investment for those engaged in
the business, it has afforded employ
ment for large number of children
and adults, at remunerative wages.
There are about eight acres of land in
cultivation, and taking all things into
consideration, the berry culture is as
remunerative as any other fruit.
Our Board of Education has COM
menced the work of remOdeling the
school houses in our township, 80 that
their external appearance looks more
like places Of education than prisons,
while patent folding seats, and nicely
finished walnut aud ash desks, supply
the places of the oak plank seats and
box-like desks within.
Progress In our system of education
for the last few years, has been rapid
and one great step forward is in max
ing the schOOl-hOuse attractive; and
not a place for punishment. A few
years ago-and very few-he was the
best teacher who could best WELD the
cudgel, aud it was the best scholar who
could the best endure y three hours
sitting on u slab seat, without support
for feet or back.
The strike reached our town last
week, and has proved a success-that
is, the strikers got what they wanted.
Two men having worked all day in the
bayfield,, at night were in good condi-
ton to talk over old feuds, and after
talking a reasonable time, concluded
to strike; and SD they struck-from
the shoulders long as they could
thus strike successfully; and then
milking stools and barn shOvels Were
used more effectively till u cOmprO-
mise was effected by third person,
kicking one of the strikers in one di-
rectiOn, and the other in an opposite
direction. Result-one had u different
head on him than when he struck, the
last head very much larger than the
first. and has to he bandayed. The
other striker has different nose-the
present one being more on the African
style, and he has different teeth, not
being SO we'll set and firm as the first
te5th; and then his bowels are some
what different considerably sO-s
much so, that lie is at times in doubt
that he has any.
Last Thursday, when the mercury
was cavorting around the nineties, the
little girls in Beaman's raspberry patch
struck. They had been receiving two
cents per quart for picking. They
demanded three cents. The proprietor
refused, but finally yielded, and the
little plckers resumed work. HI.

IT is better for man meyer to be-
come a candidate for Office. They say
so many mean things OF him. Here is
our esteemed neighbor, Mr.. Bishop,
who was regarded by every body as
the man for citizen Governor; a man
outside the ruts of politics aud polit:.
clans, an one of whom every body
thought we'll. He has not been the
peoples candidate a week and already
he is accused of being u Christian and
of having observed the Sabbath in his
time. Before another week is gone it
is not improbable that some bold, bad
enemy may impeach him of having
never dishonored hisfatheror mother !;
they may even hint at documentary
evidence showing that on various oc-
casions he had referred to both of
them in terms of respect, if not posi-
tive love and veneration. Then he
will regret that he did not, like Taft,
the great war secretary in time OF
peace, peremptorily decline to be NOM
mated, alleging that he had private
business which he could not neglect
unless for seat In the Senate.-lEnq
