There is, as far as we can learn, a
unanimous desire among the Repub-
icans of this county, to re-nominate
Capt. Dawson for Representative, by
acclamation, and insist on his ac-
ceptance. We know he don't want
to serve, but the people demand it,
and we think be will have to submit.
He has made too good a Repre-
sentative to serve but one term.

There is a general feeling that the
business of the country will soon re-
cover from the recent severe shock.
That it was very severe admits Of no
doubt, but the recuperative energies
Of the country are such and the con
ditions for a revival Of business so
favorable that the effects Of the re-
cent outbreaks must soon pass away.
The aggregate loss to the country
has been very great, but sixty OF
ninety days hence men will have
forgotten the past and be thinking
only Of the present and future.

A Destructive Fire.=Eoss
$4,000,

About 10 o'clock last Saturday
night, the large frame barn belonging
to Col. VIM. II. TrimbIe, at his resi-
dence, east of town, was discovered
| to be on fire. The flames spread
rapidly, the barn being full of hay
and oats in the sheaf, and the build
ing, with all its contents, was soon
totally destroyed, together with two
stacks of wheat outside, containing
about 300 bushels. The barn was a
large and substantial one, and con
tanned a new Reaper, used only this
season, besides many other agricul-
tural implements, harness, &c, all Of
which were consumed. The total
loss on the building and contents is
estimated by Col. Trimble at fully
S25OO-no insurance.
The fremen turned ont promptly,
and took the steamer out to the fire,
but could do nothing for want Of
water.
It was very fortunate that the wind
carried the flames away from the
ColoneTs fine residence, and the 9th
or adjacent briiIdincys- 81 that the fire
did not spread. We understand that
the policy of insurance on the Col
onel's residence had just expired on
the very day before the fire, and had
not been renewed. Certainly a mar
row escape.
Col. TrimbIe desires us to return
his sincere thanks to the fremen for
their efforts to save his property.

CIRCULAR.
To the Employees Of them. s &C.RR
Under ordinary circumstances, the
thanks of the employers is due the
employees for faithful service render
ed, bat when, as during the recent
strike on many other roads, the per-
formance of such service has been
attended, not only with difficulty,
but at the risk of personal injury,
and when not one has faltered,
not one has been found wanting, not
one has violated the confidence re-
posed in him, nor proved recreant,
then indeed must those for whom
such service has been rendered feel
the deep obligations they are under
to those who, despite the tempta-
tions that have surrounded them, and
the inducements that have been held
out to them to violate their trust,
have proven faithful. Words mere
" commendatory would fail to ex-
press my thanks to you and to each
and every one of you for your noble
conduct towards me and the proper
ty under my control during the
past two weeks. When all have
done so we'll it would be inTdious to
make distinctions.

RAILROAD!.
1.-THE IMPENDING CRISIS p
NOW OR NEVER!

The great crisis in our Railroad
interests is upon us. This week
must decide the fate of the Colum-
bus & Maysville R. r.
This is the situation It will
take S65,OOO to build the road from
Hillsboro to Sardinia, with the aid
promised by Sardinia. Hillsboro
has raised $50, ,OoO, Whiteoak, Ham
er, Clay, Newmarket, Concord and
Salem about S12,OOO-totaI $4,000.
This leaves S28, 900 to be raised this
,oee5, as the election of Directors
takes place next Monday. The time
is short, and it will require hard
work, by every friend of the road in
town and country, to raise the stock
by next Saturday.
The people of Whiteoak, Clay,
Concord, Newmarket, Hamer and
Salem, are up and doing. They
hold all-day meetings at Danville
and Toylorsville, on Wednesday and
Thursday of this week, at which they
expect to raise several thousand dol
lars additional stock.
If we in Hillsboro and Liberty
township do oar achole dttty, there is
no doubt the whole amount needed
can be raised by Saturday, the Di-
rectors chosen on Monday, and the
road to Sardinia put under contract
within 80 days.
The R. R. Committee make a last
appeal in another column, and urge
a grand rally of all the friends of the
enterprise at the Court House neet
Saturday afternoon. Let every
man who is interested in the future
prosperity of Hillsboro be present.
It is a supreme crisis in our affairs,
which is to decide whether Hills
boro will continue to grow and pros
per, or decline and decay.
Let every citizen awake to the i'm
portance of the emergency, and act
with a due sense of the great inter.
ests at stake, and his own personal
responsibility for the results of his
action.

Put Life Into Your Work.

A young mans interest and duty
doth dictate that he should make him
self indispensable to his employers. He
should be so industrious, prompt and
careful that the accident of his tempo
rary absence should be noticed by his
being missed. A young man should
make his employer his friend by doing
faithfully and minutely all that is en-
trusted to him. 1t is a great mistake
to be over nice or fastidiOus about work.
Pitch in readily and your willingness
will be readily appreciated, while the
"high toned" young man who bubbles
about what it is and what it Is not his
place to do will get the cold shoulder.
There is a story that George Washing
ton once helped roll log that one of
his corporals would not handle, and the
greatest Emperor of Russia worked as
shipwright in England to learn the
business. That is just what you want
to do. Be energetic, look and act with
alacrity; take an interest in your en-
ployer's success; work as though the
business was your own, and let your
employer know that he may place absO-
Lutte reliance on your word and on your
act. Be mindful; have your mind on
your business, because it is that which
is going to help you, not those outside
attractions which some of the "bOys"
are thinking about. Take pleasure
in your work; do not 90 about in list
less, formal manner, but with alacrity
and cheerfulness, and remember that
while working thus for others you are
laying the foundation of your own sue.
