Marriages Of Russian Peasantry,

In ell respects the Russian peasantry
are, as q class, extremely practical and
matter-of fact in their conceptions and
habits, and are not, st all prone to in
dulge in sublime, ethereal sentiments of
any kind. They have little or nothing
Of what may be roughly termed the Her.
mann and Dorotea element in their com.
position, and consequently they know
very little about tho~e sentimental, ro-
mantle ideas which We habitually asso-
ciate with the preliminary steps to mat
rimony. This fact ID 60 patent to all
who have studied the Russian peassntry
that even those who have endeavoredf To
idealize peasant life have rarely ventured
to make their story turn ON . sentimental
love affair. s ss ~ tss Z E[
These general remarks I insert here
parenthetically, in order that the reader
may clearly understand what rhave to
say regarding peasant marriages. In the
primitive system of agriculture usually
practiced in Russia the natural labor

comprises q man, . woman, and horse.
As soon, therefore, - buy becomes an
able. bodied laborer he ought to be pro-
vided With the two accessories necessary
for the DmplctiOn Of the labor-unit. To
procure horse, either BY purchase or BY
rearing foal, is the duty Of the head Of
the house; to procure . wife for the
youth is the duty of "the female Big

REGULARITY IN FEEDINo.-It is very

The Black Hills,

The Black Hills are a mountain mass
rising abruptly from the center of an i'm
mense prairie to from 5000 to 5000 feet
above sea level, and pierced by few
canyons aud gulches at wide intervals.
They derive their name from the sombre
pines which clothe them; but within, as
the fatal Custer expedition proved, exists
q beautiful and fertile country.
The Black Hills embrace some 5000
square miles. but not all this region is
g0ld-bearing, and much of what may be
called so is not rich enough to pay for
working. The gold belt extends twenty
five miles wide for q distance of eighty
miles along the hills from Bear range on
the northwestern slope to French creek
on the southeast; of this, the only really
profitable district is that known as the
Deadwood, comprising the northern
fourth Of the belt, about 500 square
miles, as rich as It can be with gold and
silver "the richest diggings in the
world" according to old miners. Two
streams, Whitewood aud Deadwood, rise
in the hills fifteen miles west of Dead
wood City, unite at that point, aud flow
northeast; the DeadwoOd is ''the b.
nanza." From bank statistics and the
miners statements, the production Of the
whole mining region last year is esti-
mated Ut two and half millions, four.
titths of which were from Dead wood and
its tributaries. This years yield is cal.

The great effort and object of STAN
IeyMatthes in his discussion withGen.
Ewing at Alliance was to show that
redemption of the Greenback currency
on and after the 1st of January 1873.
did not mean their cancellation and
final retirement, and for this purpose
about his only proof was the quotation
from the speech of Secretary John
Sherman, at Mansfield. Yet Sherman
held that the law, which employs pre-
cisely the same language in reference
to the fractional currency that it does
to the legal tenders, imperatively re.
ouires the cancellation and destruction
of the former. But Mr.. Sherman is
not a creditable and reliable witness
in the case. In 1865 he held as did his
party in Ohio and Indiana, that the
5 20 bonds were payable in grccnbacks,
and go wrote to a gcntleman.inBrook-
Iyn, adding that whoever said those
bonds were payable in coin; or de-

Meade, the murderer of an old man
at Leetonia some two years ago, who
was convicted of the crime and some
fifteen months ago escaped from the
jail Of Columbiana County, was dis
covered 1T the house of his father in
Limaville, five miles from Alliance by
Sheriff Fountain and deputy Of Colum-
bians county. He was hid in closet
and upon being discovered attempted
to escape and was pursued by theSher-
in and deputy whereupon he turned
and fired upon the officer but without
effect. Seeing all chaeces of escape
hopeless he put the muzzle of his pis;
tol to his head and blew his own
brains out.

MANTUA STATION.

Geo.Allen has the spirit Of improve
ment "big within him" and his latest
breaking out" takes the shape of a dirt
fill in front of his lot, outside of the
walk, to correspond with the front of
Messrs Hayes and Bradley.
If any one thinks AL. Hastings can't
do good Job of well-digging that
those "A inch tile of Will Bradley's
cemented at every joint above the wa
ter line don't make nice finish, and
one of Norton and Kings Eagle water
drawers don't make q complete thing,
then let them try as we did and be
convinced. The manifest impurity of
our we'll water generally is a crying
evil and we believe the source of
much sickness.
We may state briefly that in our
comments ON the Santora case, we in
tended no reflections upon the Justice

Mr.. Samuel Durff has traded his
house and lot in the village for the
Cullen place east of the Station.
Mrs. N. 3. Moore has been in poor
health nearly ever since she was struck
by tightening early in the season. 1t
is thought she hss never entirely re-

We enjoyed very much Mr.. Thomp-
sons "reminiscences of early days IN
and about our county seat, and have
no doubt there is large fund of fact,
incident and anecdote pertaining to
that already far off time, lying DORM
ant in the minds of the pioneer band
fast passing away, which we would be
very glad to haye rescued from obliv-

let us hear from him?
On Friday night of last week the
establishment of TheO. Burnett was
broken into by some party or parties
unknown, and the money drawer in
vestigated with slim results. A cigar
box on the shelf just back of the draw
er containing pennies, nickels ETC., to
the value of $25 or $50 escaped notice.
The loss of any valuable property up
to the present time has not been ascer-
tanned. We have in our midst some
candidates for the penitentiary, who
are making good "run" and would
surely be ''elected," if it was known
who they are.
We are informed that the burial of
Mr.. James Frost, whose death was no.

with some circumstances rather un-
usual on such occasions. The grave
was provided with slabs of aolid stone
on the bottom, ends and sides. The
coffin was then deposited resting some
inches from the bottom, and a cement
poured in over the whole, covering it to
considerable depth. After the setting
of this cement, more was added and
the top slab put in position, thus her.

IT las been discovered within few
days past that the State of South Caro-
lima has drawn its quota of arms from
the United States for forty years to
come. Don Cameron, then Secretary
of War, and Honest John Patterson
sent every thing they could lay their
hands on in the way of arms to South
Carolina lest fall while the Presiden-
tial campaign was on with Instructors
that they should be put in the hands
of negroes only. Then the army wss
sent there aiterward to protect tn e
same helpless negroes from the White
Leagues, who didn't have any arms at
all to speak of. And yet, after all, they
were not able to carry the State for the
Republicans-atl least for Chamberlain
though we believe a ReturningBoard
or an Electoral Commission or some-
thing did the thing for theHayesEle
tors.

AURORA.
COrresDOndeuce

correspondence
We see by the last Rep. Dem. that
our fellow townsman, Mr.. e. r. Har.
mon, the nominee of the Republican
party for Representative has taken to
sprint" an attempt to answer one Of
the interrogatories of your corres-
pondent III. two weeks ago. He pro-
fesses to believe that H. has been inn
posed upon by some malicious or
officious person. and thereby led into
an error in regard to his (Harmon's)
position as to the manner of sustaining
the public schools. Perhaps Fl. has, in
common with many of Harmon's
neighbors, formed his opinions by
hearing him deprecate the enormous
burdens which the present school laws
impose on the taxpaying portion of
community, and the injudiclous and
profligate manner in which the schools
are now being run, claiming that the
cold way" was far more economical
and preferable.
We have no desire to do Mr.. Har-
mon injustice, but claim the right to
criticise the intellectual and moral
standing of him who asks for our
votes for the high Office of Represent
ative. In point of mental capacity we
are free to say Mr.. Harmon is fair
average with those who have honored
our. township with their presence at
the State Capital as Legislators for
some time. AS to the other matter
we prefer to inquire of his neighbors
and immediate associates, aud will
therefore ask Rev. Mr.. Hamlin, Deacon
H. Burroughs, Ithamer Mixter, J. L.
Thompson, Esq, H. G. Blair, J. l..
Burroughs and WILDER Jenkins, wheth.
er, in their opinion, person who calls
around him their sons and mine and
openly engages in gaming nearly every
night in the year, combined with
something stronger than the Garfield
element, is fit person for a alaw-maker.
These l consider weighty questions
and hope they will be weighed with
eUen!y balanced scales. N.
