Some persons say we are getting worse all the

had 43, ,S74 preachers in 1870, and q host Of Tenn

work of the ministers and Temperance work
ers did no good. Let me ask such persons, How
do you know, but that if these auxiaries had been
silent, crime and intemperance would have been
douby as bad as they arc? One reason there ap-

A shocking DEATH On the Both of November,
Mrs. Persel, living neor Loudon, Adams CO., had

GEO E. SlIITHSON,

In his recent ''great speech, as
his friends call it, Mr.. Ewing, of this
State, told a story to illustrate the
depressed condition of business and
the consequent suffering among
laboriDg men. He said that the
President of the Dayton and South
eastern Railroad had told him that
the Company he represented could
obtain all the Iaborers they desired
for board alone. The editor of the
DAYTON Journal took occasion to di
rect the attention of the aforesaid
railroad President to Mr.. Ewing S
story, and learned from him that he
didn't even know Mr.. Ewing and so
far from it being true that laborers
we're willing to work for his road for
their board, he said he had found 1t
difficult to get all the labOrers he
wanted at good wages. Mr.. Ewing
had simply manufactured the story
out of whole cloth.

The Ripley Bee says:


The Second Survey between this
place and Georgetown was run
during the latter part of last week
via COrnick's Run, and makes the
distance ten miles, but the Jewelers.
report the grade steep and impracti-
cable. Probably the best route Of
all is one yet uusurveyed, leading
down the river, up Straight creek
and Sleeps Run. This will bring
the distance within eleven miles and
be capable of an easy grade. Besides,
the Levanna Mills viii give the road
more business than it would proba-
bly, get on any route. Its proximity
to Higginsport would create some
patronage from that vicinity, and
last, but not least by any means,
Capt, Boyd, it is said, has very gen
erously agreed to secure the right OF
way from this place to the mouth OF
Straight Creek. This is an item Of
vast Importance, since we understand
there are many farmers on the other
routes who refuse to allow their
fertile farms to he bisected without
a large compensation. The river
route can be built along the sterile
billsides without much loss to the
land holders and at light cost OF
construction. In addition to all
this, the people on the Georgetown
side of Straight Greek are heart and
soul in favor of the road, and will
give it most substantial encourage
ment. It would be well for us to
have a survey of this route, at any
rate, and a canvass Of the feeling OF
the people along it.
The engineers and their corps are
now about completing the survey
from Georgetown to Sardinia, which
presents a very pretty line for rail
way construction. They will prob
ably return to this place tomorrow,
when we hope the other route will
receive serious consideration.

The Grange in Ohio

Mr.. Ellis, Master of the Ohio State
Grange, in a letter to the Ohio Far
mer, says
Many have supposed that because
thev do not hear so much about the
Grange, it therefore must be about
dead, but I assure you that all such
are greatly mistaken. Early IN the
Grunge work some joined because
they thought that it would give them
good opportunities to make a noise,
Such men must be heard, or life is
worthless to them. This class OF
persons have had their season ; they
have made their noise and have now
subsidized. The season of noise has
subsided, and the time for work is
upon us. And right maDfully are
the Patrons Of Ohio at work.
The Grange throughout Ohio Is
full of life, activity and determined
earnestness, and is now accomplish

The Blood Sucker

The Ironton Register draws the
following graphic portrait of a char
acter, whose existence is unfortunate
" not confined to that part Of the
country. Every candidate is &C
uuainted with him, and can testify to
the truthof the likeness:
Who is he? He is the mysterious
fellow, smelling of rum and tobacco,
who comes forth from the shades of
nowhere in particular, to tackle the
unfortunate candidate, for some cur
rency, more or less, in consideration
of the powerful influence to be exert
ed in behalf of said candidate. He
is a wonderful fellow, because he al
ways has some underlined and invisi-
ble constituency in the dim back
ground, who are waiting in profound
and earnest silence, the charmed
word he shall utter, whereat they
will appear armed with cleaning bal
lots to settle the destiny of mankind.
This power makes the blood sucker
an important character; but his
significance is increased by the fact
that he is not man ola single love.
His heart beats for more than one.
His sympathies are as widespread as
subsidiary coin and as prevalent as
lager beer. Election time 81 the hey
day of his prosperity, In his pocke
are little bits of currency, and hist
veins sing and sizzle as the alcohol
dances through them. He has been
to all the candidates, of all sides,
and most of them have experienced
his suction power to a less or great
er degree. It is sad, but so. But
| his occupation is now gone the de-
mand for his personal magnetism
has subsided and he is lost to sight
and memory dear. In gloom and
security he retires for another year,
and no one will miss him, until he
bursts the veil asunder, and reenters
the public arena as bright and re
| fulgent as a ransomed spirit but he
is a bad egg and every candidate
knows it.

Gently celebrated the opening of a

unborn. "The good men do lives

Exports and Imports.

Philadelphia Ledger: The fig
ures showing the total values Of the
foreign imports and exports for Sep
tember and for the expired portion
of the calendar year to that time,
have already been published There
was a general increase in the amount
and in the value Of foreign free goods
both for the month and for the nine
months reported, as comparatively
reported by the Boston Advertiser
The largest increase was in coffee,
the value of which was 81, 900, GOO
greater in September last than in the
same month of 1876, and twelve mill
ions more in three-quarters Of the
year. Coffee represents thirty-fve
/. per cent. of the total importatiOns Of
free goods. There was also in Sep
tember a large Increase in the value
of tea, hides and specie imported.
The value of dutiable commodities
imported in September suffered a
small decline. There was, however,
a slight increase IN the amounts and
values of textiles, except silk, which
was more than coUnter-balanced by
losses on other things. In the mat
ter of exports the chief fact to be
noted is q considerable gain in the
amount of manufactured goods sent
abroad. This statement extends to
a great variety of articles, among
which may be mentioned agricultural
implements, cotton goods, boots and
shoes, edge tools, paper, soap, sugar
and ordnance stores. On the whole,
the foreign trade seems to have been
as healthy in kind as it was satistac-
tory in amount.

Whittier, the poet, will be 70
years old in December, A recent
sketch describes him as being like
his ancestors, tall-measuring six
feet or mOre-of slender build, but
straight as an arrow; a fine looking,
oldish man, with high forehead, a
fine face, quiet smile, dark, piercing
ewes, and hair once black, but now
tainned and gray. He dresses in a
suit OF black, cut in Quaker fashion,
and his speech is characterized to a
slight extent by the peculiarities Of
the people whose form of service and
creed he prefers to any other; al
though it is well understood the
latter is hardly broad enough to Gov
er all his opinions and convictions.
He walks about the country in the
neighborhood of his home consider
ably, is pleasant and companionable
with his neighbors, but never drives
| in a carriage, and cannot be coaxed
or compelled to attend a gathering
of HtterIteurs or ez-antislavery Peo-
pie, a lyceum lecture, or any lecture
whatever. He occasionally-not Of
ten-visits Boston, and usually
spends there a portion Of the winter
at the house of his friend ex Cover.
nor William Clafin he has never
been abroad, and Washington, which
he visited on one occasion, is the ez
treme limit of bis journeying in this
country.
