They think that Henry Clay is to
be the Wing candidate for 1880, and
occasionally indulge in n feeble
caclle over their anticipation of his
election. Practically they are as
dead as Henry Clay himself.
These are not the men to organize
new party, Mr.. Hayes; we can af-
ford to dismiss them.
We resort then to our second al
ternative-wast the scheme of a new
party of any material a feasible
one when it was started?
We can see no possible demand
for one. No new principle has been
defined, no new policy proposed.
There were two parties in exist
ence when Mr.. Hayes came into
office; he received the votes of one,
he adopted the principles and policy
of the other so far as he has any
policy. Now, could any time be
more absurdly BlGIdDrOpOs for call
ing upon the Democratic party to
disband its forces and lay down its
arms than the present? 1t is doub-
liz victorious. 1t first elected its
candidate President and then, when
defrauded of the fruits of this vic
tory, forced its policy upon the
usurping party. But, say Mr.. Hayes
and his friends, its mission is gone !;
il has no further work to do. On
the contrary it never had a higher
or holier mission; it never had more
important work to do. Its mission
i to sustain the President so far as
his work is constitutional and patrl-
otto, to urge him on when he falters
and to defend him from his recalci,
trant friends when he needs Il, anu

Min Wilson, cOlored, was hung
in Jackson, on the 18th inst, for the
murder of Policeman Newton c..
Perkins on the night of July 10,
1876. Fully 5000 people witnessed
the execution. The prisoner was
escorted by a strong guard from the
Jail to the place of execution at 1890
A. NJ. The fall Of the platform oc-
CURED at 11.45, but owing to the
moose slipping, death was occasioned
by strangulatiOn, and was of the
most agOnizing character. Forty
five minutes from the fall Ofthe drop
elapsed before life was pronounced
extinct, during the first portion of
which time the doomed man writhed
and struggled, his pinioned hands
madly battling with the air, his legs
convulsively updrawn and shot out,
while his body trembled IN the
throes Of muscular motion, which,
like spasmodic waves, traversed his
quivering frame. The prisoner was
tWenty-one years of age. He was
raised as q house boy in a white
family, and was possessed OF a rare
degree of intelligence for one OF ms
race. He expressed great contrItion
for his imputsive act, and had the
very best legal talent employed in
his defence.

The CrODS.

On Saturday we took little jaunt into the
country south of Louisville, and spent the
Sabbath with friend. Our observation went
to show that the recent rains have had q won.
derful effect upon yegetations. Il is COM
mon remark among the farmers that wheat
has never given fairer promise than now.
II is very heavy on the ground, well headed,
and at its state of perfection is not likely to
meet with any rishap. Oats has greatly i'm
proved within the past two weeks, and now
there is promise ora good crop. Rye and
Barley look well. Corn is backward, but the
recent favorable weather is bringing it on rap
idly; owing to the fact that it had to be re-
planted two or three times there is greater inc
quality in its fOrwardness than appears in fields
of other grain. In the region we traversed
there will be a heavy harvest of grass, and W"
are disposed to believe that the yield in the
county will be above the average. I he acre
age OF potatoes is large; they look well, and are
not being troubled by bugs as much as usual,
No one has reason to complain of the outlook.

Marshall was blowing corn, on Saturday, was
severely injured by being struck with the

flight. One of the plow bits struck Mr.. Cow
en- about the middle Of the back of the head
and raised the greater portion of the scalp
from the top of the head. Had the point
struck few inches lower the accident would
have been fatal. The young man received

A MT. VERNON TRAGEDY.
A Murder in Cold Blood.

The deliberate murder by shooting, of Thos.
j. Mcbride. of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, on Tues.
day morning of last week, by the ruffian Will
Bergin. has e,casioned more excitement in
Mt. Vernon than any event in the history Of
the town. The details of the terrible tragedy
are about as follows: Bergin called at the
Bergin House, owned by his father, and leas-
ed to Thomas j. Mcbride & Son, on Wednes-
day night, and asked for a room. The clerk
told him they did not want boarders of the
j. N dead beat) stripe, and for him to 90
home. He left without saying word, or ex-
hibiting any anger, and was not seen again
until Friday morning. About z A. NJ. that
day he visited the hotel and engaged in con-
versation with Mr.. Mcbride, stating that he
had valise in The hotel which he wished to
get. He was told to call after the clerk and
baggageman had come down from their
rooms, when he became insulting and often
sive, and Mr.. Mcbride called the clerk and
inquired about the satchel The clerk had
Nc knowledge of it, but promise was given
that it should be hunted up. Bergin made
some angry threats and walked away. r
Proceeding to the gunshop of G. P. Gregg
~, on Gambler street, he selected rified re-
volver, had it loaded and requested permission
to take it with him on trial. All of the cir
cumstances seem to indicate that the murder
was planned when the ASSASSIN left the hotel,
for on leaving Gregory's, with the weapon,
he went direct to to the hotel. Mcbride was
sitting at the north door of the building, talk
ing to Cleveland gentleman, and saw Ber-
gin approaching He ssuntered arcoss the
street leisurely, walked through the hotel to
the north door, and deliberately shot the mn
suspectiDg proprietor through the head, say
ing, There, take that, and turning to the
stranger said, 4 shot him. and did it like
a man. He then sat down in the chair along
side OF the dying man. The aged father of
the victim rushed out and as he appeared Ber-
gin calculated, i shot him-I killed him with
that revolver, at the same time dourishing
the weapon. The old man wrested the pistol
from the murderer, and as the crowd closed
about him, he declared with the most satanic
braggadociO, that he had KILLED his man..
Officer Weaver apprehended the murderer
and placed him in Jail.
The ball entered the right side of Mr.. Nc
Brides head, almost an inch above the ear,
ssd he died in two hours. He was unconsci-
Gus from the time Of the shooting, cod writh-
ed In agony until death came. N1Hjetim

+ SUsnAr was Flower day ct the N. E.
Church in this place. The altar and pulpit
were handsomely decorated with wreaths
of evergreens, flowers and plants
handsomely arranged, and very interesting
exercises were held especially for the child
rem. A short address was delivered by the
pastor, and music especially for the occasion
was rendered in good style by the choir. The
smiling happy faces and the earnest attention
Of the children during the entire services
were indicative Of the charming influence Of
flowers. The exercises were most sgreeabl.
and profitable. The custom of observing such

TIE wool excitement that was started in
Sandusky week ago has spread all over
Ohio. Forty cents for good wool is the cur.
rent price in all markets in this State. Fancy
clips 90 at 43 to 45 cents. Hard lots 60 as
low as 80 to IS cents. Unwashed wool goes
at 25 to 80 cents. Most of the clip will be
sold in the next ten days. The wool in. the
middle and southern part of Ohio is being
bought on Eastern account, while the wool
in the northern part of the State is bought
and held for sale by local buyers. When they
get so, 900 to 100, 900 pound lots they will find
buyers after it at fair prices. While wool is
much higher than last year it is at reasona-
BILE price. Wool at under 40 cents pound is
too low, at A cents it is too high Ssndusky
