hold upon our citizens, and public meet
ings are to be held during the summer sea-
son at short intervals. OF the many hun
dreds who have identified themselves with
the Murphy movement, but three or four
are known to have fallen.
The cold dry weather during the past
month has retarded somewhat the growth
of the winter and spring grains, but gen
ally the winter wheat is looking we'll, and
there is prospects for a large crop. Our
farmers have improved the opportunity,
and their plOwing and planting are well
along. The high price of potatoes will
cause a large area of ground Co be occupied
with this crop, and in defiance of bugs
and hard times, there must come another
glut of the market. 1t is safe to say, that
for the year 70 come we are to have cheap
potatoes, and brought within the range of
people of moderate means.
The coming State Republican Conven-
ton which will be held this year at Cleye-
land, is beginning to attract attention, and
will draw out large number of people
from Northern Ohio who have never wit
messed these annual gatherings. The pO-
sition of Ohio in the coming contest is
looked for with an interest of unmeasured
Importance, and the ''policy" of the ma
uonal administration will then have so far
developed itself as to enable US all to see
the beginning of a new era, and the peace
ful solution of the great political problems
of our times. The prudence and economy
which thus far has marked Mr.. Haves' ad-
ministration, entities it to the enconiums
of the great mass of the people; unlike the
mulish obstinacy of the last Democratic
House, which necessitated the calling of
Congress in special session to provide means
to pay the army and navy, and to carry on
the various branches of the general govern
ment This must entail large increase
in the ordinary expenditures of the gov
evrnment, but it requires no great ssgaci-
ty to place the responsibility where it be-
longs. HORACE.

LOCAL NOTICES.

PARKER's GINGER ToNIC-The most
useful medicine ever presented to the
public. This active and efficient reme-
edy is the certain cure for DidTTh9d Dysf1l-
terry, Cholera M0rbtts, Cramps, ChOlic, DySpep-
Sid, Sour Stomach, Heartburn, and FEdtWLeTce,
and at the same time imparts vigOr to the
gestiOn. To the nervous invalid and the in
ebriate, seeking to reform, it is of the great
est value; its soothing and sustaining pow
er on the nervous system viii enable any to
reform, who would otherwise fail from ner-
vOus prostration and want of strength.
Travellers farmers, and others exposed to in
clement weather, should always cary it with
them; 1t protects the body from cold and the
effects of variable climate and diet. 1t is un-
equaled as tonic in recovery from fevers and
eXhausting sickness and it is especially valu-
able to the aged and feeble. We feel confident
that after trial of this remedy no person
will ever want to be without it. 1yI379
