Hogs.


While the reports in reference to
the growing corn crop are exceeding
favorable. it must be admitted that
the reports for the fall and winter
supply Of hogs are unusually promis-
ing in all sections. There is one
very encouraging feature regarding
the supply Of hogs-there is less
cholera than usual among them-in
fact, there is an almost entire alb
senoe of disease. With the quality
constantly Improving, as is exhibited
by the returns Of summer packing,
and the corn crop secured without
damage, there is little doubt but the
West this year VIII forward to mar
ket the best crop Of hogs ever raised
in this section-botb in number and
quality. So far the number Of pigs
is reported largely in excess of.the.
returns Of last year, especially in the
far western States. The aggregate
Of the assessors for the States Of
Ohio, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska
compare as follows for the two years:

THE ELECTION.
ohio Gone Democratic.

WEDNESDAY, Oct. 10, 2 P. NJ.
The election returns from the
State. received up to the hour our
paper goes to press, render it pretty
certain that Bishop, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, is elected by
at least 10000 majority. The Re-
publican State Central Committee at
Columbus last night, conceded this
much, but the Democratic Commit
tee were claiming from 10000 to 3d.
600 majority. We don't think they
viii realize a victory to that extent.
but 10000 majority is "enough for
all practical purposes"
The Legislature will probably be
Democratic by a small majority in
both branches.
The following are the reported
maiOrities on the State ticket in this
county.

The New World Feeding
the Old. .i-' |

The shipments Of grain to Eu-
rope from New York, on Satur-
day, by steamer alone, approached
half a million bushels, and sailing
vessels, during the week, took much.
Contracts have been so heavy Of late
that several lines have sent for ex-
ira steamers. Thus far the ship
ments have exceeded those of last
year by nearly forty per cent. The
crop being 25, 100000 bushelsgreater
than in any previous year IN the his
tory Of the country, the demand Of
Europe can be readily supplied
Vast acres of land in Russia, the
Slavonic provinces, and in Turkey,
were planted last spring with wheat,
but whether through depletion Of
population in many districts it can
all be gathered is uncertain. Much
has also been trodden or harvested
in a green state by passing sOldiery
The winter demand by the belliger-
ent armies and population in those
countries cannot yet be fully calcula
ted but shipments are going for
ward on the supposition that their
need will be great. The short crop
in England gives an added stimu
lus to spectators. added to the
fact cargoes Of -four have been sent
from England to India, and will be
continued to be sent, toward allevia-
ting the famine there.

Railway Hen.

The ShelbyviIle Gazette is respon-
sible for this, the latest hen story:
A hen made a nest in box in the
baggage-car, and in course Of time
had fifteen eggs, and stuck to them
through thick and thin, night and
day, except to step off the train Oc-
casionally, while it waited, to get
food and water, and one day Matched
thirteen chickens, notwithstanding
the rumbling, rolling process the
eggs passed through. Mr.. Shriver
(baggage-master) says that after the
setting process began, she would
frequently, when off the nest in
search of food and water, get left at
Shelbyville, and sometimes at War
trace ; and on such occasions, she
would quietly wait for the train to
return, and sometimes meet it when
| it came in sight, and fly into the
baggage-car and get on the nest i'm
mediately. She would sometimes
manifest her joy at the appearance
of the train by cackEng at a high
rate. Mother and chickens are all
doing we'll.

Not an Uncommon case.

At a late Murphy meeting the fol-
lowing interesting incident was men
toned by Mr.. J. H. Rodgers, which
occurred at GeOrgetwon, Ohio, and
of which he was a witness: During
the progress of the meeting a rather
rough, but intelligent appearing gen
tleman arose in the audience and
related that many years ago he and
another young lawyer were engaged
for the first time on a murder trial
in one of the Hamilton county
courts. It being the first case of
any magnitude, it was considered an
excellent opportunity for a young
lawyer to gain a fortune and reputa-
ton, and both did their best. The
case was long and hotly contested
by both parties, and every effort put
forth to gain the suit, which he final
| " gained, and the glory and honor
were his. Time went on, but in an
evil hour he took the first drink

rapid, and which resulted in the
course of time in the entire loss o
his business. He then came t.

Col. Brown, our candidate fol
State Senator, runs a little
ahead of his ticket, and has
probably carried the county by 6
small majority. Unless he has rur
largely ahead of his ticket in his
own county, Ross, we fear he is de.
feated
Both the Constitutional Amend
ment and Free Banking Act are de-
feated in the county by large major
tiles.
For Auditor, Capt. DeBruin, Dem,
is re. elected by about 200 majority.
The people seem willing to risk a
''third term in his case, but he owes
his election to Republican votes in
this and other townships.
We will publish the official vote in
our next issue.

Astonishing Success.

It is the duty Of every person who has
used BcsCHEE's GERMAN SYRUP to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing Consumption, severe
Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneumonia, IN

son can use it without immediate relief.
Three doses will relieve any case, and We
consider it the duty of all Druggists to
recommend it to the poor dying consump-

dozen bottles were sold last year, and no
one case where it failed was reported. Such

a PIeasant Surprise,


Mn. BoARDMAN II wish to con
tribute to the columns Of the old
News, a short account Of a very
pleasant surprise party, which took
! place at, the residence Of DR. Samuel
Pike, in the western part Of Penn
township, on the 26tb ult.
It was the 23d anniversary Of the
marriage Of the DR.. and Mrs. Pike,
and their children had arranged to
surprise them, which they did to
perfection. A large number Of rela-
tives and friends had been invited to
attend promptly at IL O'Clock, with
wel-flled baskets, and to keep the
old folks in profound igno5ance Of
the proposed party until the very mo
ment in which the whole party were
to pounce down upon them. Those
who came first halted under cover of
the grove near the residence, until
nearly the whole party had come up, |
when au-road wagons, spring
wagons carriages and buggies-I
drove down to the house in process
sion. We found the family engaged |
in the usual business of the day, and |
of course the father and mother
were very much surprised, just for a /
few moments; but they soon took in
the situation and set about to enter
tain their company in such a man
ner as only they know how.
The gentlemen erected a long ia
bic in the beautiful grove near the
house, and about 1 o'clock, all things
having been placed in readiness by
the ladies of the party, the divine
blessing was invoked by Margaret
McGladder, a minister of the Society
of Friends, and Jordan Davis, Of
New Lexington, after which the par
ty proceeded to partake Of a repast,
the richness, beauty and substan-
tiality of which are rarely equaIed
Mrs. Harriet Hiatt, the mother of
Mrs. Pike, was present. and enjoyed
herself very much. She is p years
old, and had quite number ofgreat-
grand children in the party. There
were also present David Carey and
wife, Samuel Davis and wife, Jona-
than Williams, Esq, and wife, John

New York boasts of a town of

has at least one such town-Mor-

also claims to be entirely free from
the liquor traffic. Would that the
same might be said of every town in
the State. If it were so, what a
vast improvement there would be in
our social condition.
