s veral very beautiful me MORALS to tie dead
who lie inferred there, lately erected and sup.
Piled from the extensive works of Mr.. j. II.
Bristow, of Steubenville, Ohio. Among the
most notable is large red Scotch Granite
monument, erected last week to the memory
of the late Alexander Dubois; another fine
Red Granite to the late James Brown; also, a
beautiful piece of workmanship in Italian
Marble in form of burial casket, placed on a
large stone base, draped in best style, to the
memory of an infant child of R. j. Alexander,
Esq. We must also mention some others as
beautiful specimens of workmanship, viz
The Italian monument to the late Jas. Camp
bell, ESQ.,; also the finely draped cottage mon-
ument to Joseph McMonies and Jas. Wilkins
There are numerous other exhibitions of fine
workmanship from the same establishment in
each of the cemeteries, another of which we
will mention the monument in Granite, lately
erected to the wife and daughter of Robert
D. Thompson, Esq.
Mr.. Robert NJ. Evans, former resident of
this place, has charge Of the works and erec-
ton of all monuments turned out from them
his superior skill as workman is sufficient
guarantee that all work passing his hands will
be as contracted for. Mr.. Bristor imports all
his Scotch Granite direct from the works in
Aberdeen and Glasgow, Scotland, and is en-
abled to sell as low as any other possibly can
Mr.. s. Gressinger is the agent at this place,

No Republican meeting was held in this
place on Thursday. The Republican Com
mittee were informed on Monday that owing
to previous engagement of Gen. Gar6eld's
to be present at a reunion of his old regiment
at Elyria, that be would not be able to speak
at any of the appointments for him in Bel
mont county, and learning that Secretary
Barnes was suffering from the asthma and
would not probably be present, the meeting
was withdrawn. However, Col. Geo. Garter,
of Louisiana, and Secretary Barnes, put in
appearance on Thursday about II O'Clock,
without being heralded. A number of per
sons from the country who had not been ad
vised of the situation, were in town to attend
the Garfield meeting, but as no arrangements
for holding meeting had been made and as
the speakers had appointments for Bellaire al
night, no meeting was organized. 1t isex-
pected that Gen. Garfield will atone for thi,
disappointment to the people, by his presence
in the county sometime during the canvass.

citizen of Wheeling, was outraged by an un-
known man on one of the most prominent
streets of that city early Wednesday morning
of last week, as she was returning home from

there is nothing to commend him to Republi-

for the Republican cause in this county last

which we hear very highly commended. The
Colonel is an old resident of Louisiana and an
ex- confederate officer. He speaks whereof
he knows about Southern affairs. His ad-
dress was well received at both places. If he
comes back and our excellent State Committee
sends us word when he is to come, we will
guarantee him more auditors.
