PEBBLES IN THE SEA,

There are springs of crySta. nectar

There are purple buds aud golden,
Hidden, crushed aud overgruwr
God, who counts 10y souls, not dresses.
Loves and proSperS yOa and me

But as pebbles in the sea.
Man, upraised above his fellows,

MaSierS--rIIicrS-lor remember
That your meaurSt kinds are men;
Men by labor, men hy feeling,
Men Ivy thought and men by fame,

There are little weed clad rillS.
There are feeble inCh-Eigh Saplings,
There are c"dars Oh the hills:

FLUSHING, O., September 10, 1877.

w., CCpICiHoCl ~, lObas
. Mr. Gus Johnston has been here, and the
result of his visit has been sufficient to warrant
the expression, that greater good has been &C
complished by his efforts, than all the labor
in the cause of temperance heretofore had in
this locality. Although recent convert, few
men can excel him in securing recruits to the
cause. He has ''been there" and knows
whereof he speaks On Saturday evening he
spoke to respectable audience; although he
made, as he termed them, ''only a few pre-
liminary remarks" everybody went home sat
isfied and with the intention of attending the
meeting announced for Sabbath afternoon.
At that time the house was densely packed,
and Mr.. Johnston held them spell-bound for
about an hour and half; such meeting has
not been in ''Old Flushing fer many day.
Too much praise cannot be given the speaker
for the manner in which he entertained his
audience-his earneslness, and the terse
manner IN which he delivered his lecture, won
him the admiration of everybody present.
Sabbath night was likewise expressive of ad-
miration for the boy orator. If any honor
can be given in this community, he certainly
got sufficint to encourage him to continue in
the good work. Mr.. Johnston was ably sec
onded in his efforts by the first citizens of our
town and country; likewise, by the members
of the Church and Sabbath School Choir, OF
which, may here remark, any community
might be proud. Many signed the pledge,
how many am not informed, but sufficient
to give rejoicing to numerous households, and
satisfaction to the staunch workers in the
cause of Total Abstinence God bless you,
Gus for the charity you have given this
place. No malice is entertained by any to
ward you here, but with the help of God, we
will endeayor TO emulate your teachings anG
example, and forever remember with love the
ner of life. A CONVERT.

LAST Sunday, little after 10 O'Clock, while
Miss Elma Sidwell was absent from her res
dence in tile northwest part of town, at a
neighbor's house, three unknown men went
to the house and demanded of a young lady
residing at Miss Sidwells all of the money
about the premises. The girl who is about
fifteen years old, had been to the cellar after
something, and upon coming up by way of
the cellar door which opens into the main hall
of the house, found one of the men Just
inside the door and the other two on the out
side. The girl inquired of the unwelcome
stranger several times what he wanted but re-
ceived no answer for sometime, but finally he
mutterd ''Money." Upon being Informed that
she had none, he took hold of her by the ann
and jerked her around pretty lively. She fin
ally succeeded in freeing herself from his
grasp and passed into an adjacent room and
got shovel and ordered the men to leave.
They insisted upon being accommodated with
plunder, but she resolutely refused and struck
the one who was inside, on the forehead
with the shovel, sent him reeling out of the
door, when he WIS kept from falling by his
comrades. About this time trusty old fam
lily dog came upon the scene and attacked the
gang of thieves. Thinking discretion the bet
ter part of valOr, they decamped hastily with
out securing any funds. On the Saturday
evening before, the girl, Lucy, had been out
and collected some money for Miss Sidwell;
on her return they had counted it. During
the time they were counting, the window and
blind was up few inches, and some one was
heard at and observed looking in the window,
and on the morning of the attempted robbery
they were seen prowling around in the neigh
borhood of the house. They told the young
girl that they had seen them counting the
money, and seen Miss Sidwell leave the house
short time before. The young girl display
pillage.

The Republican Meeting at Mar
fins EerrV-.A Grand SUccess,

On Saturday evening Hon. Lorenzo Dan
ford addressed a large and enthusiastic crowd
in Commercial Hall on the political issues of
the canvass, and answered in a most satisfac-
tory and felicitous manner the arguments put
forth by Hon. Geo. L. Converse, of Column
bus, Ohio, on the previous evening from the
same platform. Mr.. Danfords spec ch was
one Of his happiest efforts, and It fell with
telling effect upon his large and attentive au-
dience. The speech was triumphant vindi-
cation of the Republican party as the chaRa
pion of free labor and free homes for free
men as seen in our Protective policy and
Homestead laws; and it was also complete
refutation of the sophistry put forth by Mr..
Converse, viz "That the circulation of the
country had been contracted and that brought
the hard times" The meeting was graccd by
the presence of a number of ladies. The Hall
vas filed to its utmost capacity. Prof. j. W.
5chofeld's Martins Ferry Brass Band dis
';oursed number of their finest airs on the
occasion. The meeting broke up at a late
hour, and everybody went home well pleased
with themselves and Republican principles
generally.

THE preparations for the coming Fair are
nearly complete and the Grounds are in bet
ter condition than they were ever known to
be at any previous exhibition. During the
summer the addition to the Grounds, donated
by the corporation, was taken within the en-
closure, increasing the area of beautiful lawn
and natural forest trees, affording more space
for the assemblage and adding materially to
the beauty of the Grounds. The unsightly
board fence has been removed and a neat
paling fence has been substituted; new cattle
pens have been constructed; additional sheep
and hog pens have been built, well foored and
sheltered. A modern stable. for the entertain
ment of valuable horses has been erected, and
the speed ring under the supervision of
Sheriff Cochran has been greatly enlarged and
graded, so that it is now ore of the best
tracks in the State. The expense of altering
the ring was betrayed by private subscription.
We hope every citizen of Belmont county
will cooperate with the managers in making
this the most successful Fair ever held upon
the Grounds. There was considerable dissat-
sfaction expressed at the inability of the
managers TO pay premiums in full last year,
but the fact should be borne in mind thai the
weather was exceedingly unpropitious, and
it being Centennial year the attendance was
not up to that of previous meetings. Official
reports show that there was but one fair in the
State last year that paid expenses. Prof.
Tice predicts fair weather during the days of
the exhibition-let ns then make q full dis
play in every department, have large at
tendance, and full premiums will be insured.
We have heard some complaint that the
horse element is gaining the ascendancy In the
management of the Fair. Allow US to sug-
gest that if the enterprise and energy of the
horse-men was displayed by the agriculturists
and mechanics in making full display in
their departments there would be no room fol
complaint. The managers of Floral and Me-
chanics' Hall are anxious TO fill their depart
ments to their utmost capacity-let the people
assist them.

TEE fine display of Fruit at our County Fair
for several years past, entities it to the appella-
tion of Pathological Exhibition. This was
especially the case last year; such an array of
tempting fruit was probably never exhibited
at any previous Fair This feature of our
annual exhibition, we are glad to see, is re-
ceiving more attention than was formerly be-
slowed upon it, and we trust the good friends
who have so ably co-operated with the mem
bers of the Board in former years, will not re-
lax their efforts this season, even though the
crop of fruit be light. There are few farmers
in the county but who, with little time anu
attention could present few plates of choice
fruit for exhibition. We trust, therefore, that
every cultivation of fruit-every lover of the
beautiful effects of collection of highly COL
ored tempting pears, luscious peaches, deli
cious grapes, and rosy-cheeked apples, will
contribute something. If you have meritori-
Gus specimen of fruit without name, bring
it to the exhibition-some well-informed fruit
grower will doubtless be able to identify it.
Let US unite in again making Floral Hall the
center of attraction.

ONE who was in attendance al the Murphy

ONE who was in attendance al the Murphy
meetings conducted by our young and talent
ed friend Gus Johnston on last Saturday and
Sabbath, at Flushing, informs us that Gus
really outdone himself, and his labors were
crowned with that success they so richly de-
serve. Nearly two hundred signed the cards,
and many family is happier to-day than
they were before those meetings. The ad-
dresses are spoken Of as being the finest and
most impressive ever delivered in the place.
Although Flushing has reputation for drunk
enness and debauch.ry that is not at all COM
mendsble, there is yet hope that her reform is
about at hand. Many poor unfortunate man
of people, and with trembling hand but de-
termined look, wrote his name, and to-day
walks the paths of life, man. What he was
before should forever be veiled. May they all
stick, and cursed be he that would lead one
astrsy.

noon, some unknown parties entered the
house of VIM. Turner, colored man, residing
on the Warnock road, near St. Clairsville. and
took therefrom twenty dollars in money,
which they found in trunk where the owner
had secreted it, as he thought The thieves
entered the house through front window,
which they broke out. Mr. Turner suspicious

before been very much interested to know
about how much money he had made at Camp
Meeting, where he had been selling knick-
knacks, &c. He has been trying to get re-
dress lawfully, but the Democratic Justices of
the Peace, in this township, refuse to enter

IT is still amusing to see the groomsmen of
Ross Alexander and Dave Wagner bobbing
round trying to induce men of Etnaville and
elsewhere to get up Greenback or Working
mems Club-of course their tricks, like them
selves, are too thin to catch the answering
Republicans of Etnaville who laugh at the
miserable trick. You may as well let the
Etnaville men alone; they have in the past
disregarded your counsels and your company
and will continue to do so in the future.
Etnaville has sense and patriotism enough to
take care of herself.

The only place in town you can get the eel
ebrated Adams & Ford Cleveland Boots and
women's calf shoes, is at F. Troll & Sons,
made by hand to our order.
THE KIND OF LEATHER Used IN OUR CLEvE-
LAND BOOTS:
They are made with one exception entirely
from hand-shaved kip, tanned in Cleveland.
We claim for hand-shaved kip that it is
TOUGHER, will wear LONGER, will wear FINER,
and is nearer WATERPROOF than any other
leather manufactured, whether domestic or
imported. The fiber has never been strained
or weakened by passing through splitting
machine to make it of even thickness, like the
kip or side leather used in the manufacture of
Eastern kip Boots. Our leather is tanned in
the old-fashioned way by the use of bark and
cold liquors only, and finished or curried with
the best of animsl oils and tallow. No min-
eral oil used We use no shoddy. The boots
are the same as If you were TO leave your
measure with your shoemaker. Remember
we are going to sell these boots at the sane
price that you have to pay for Eastern boots.
Every pair warranted. Try them.
