this section this year, and the farmers
will be amply repaid for their labor.
Even in that section that Vas visited

The Rev. MIR. Tatum, the temper
ance man, was 10 town last Saturday
evening, and delivered good, sub
stantial lecture in the Presbyterian
Church. 1t is hoped that many Of the
young men who are on the verge OF
ruin, and almost ready to fall into the

Mr.. John Rodgers, a wellknOwn
citizen of this township, died suddenly,
about O'Clock last Saturday evening.
He had been suffering for some time
past from valcular disease of the heart,
but has generally been able to have a
supervision over his business till the
time of his death. His funeral took
place on Monday at 10 o'clock. His
remains were inferred in the Cemetery
at this place. Time waits for DO man,
but when the summons comes we must
obey the call. There is no prGcrastina-
tiOn in death.
The health of our town and vicinity
has been remarkably good this sum-
mer. The medical fraternity are en-
joying a season of com parative ease by
Lying on their oars" and waiting for
some one to turn up sick. 1t is feared
that if something don't soon turn up
in their favor that they will join in
with the strikers, and we will have
trouble at home.
The main theme of conversation here
pertains to the railroad troubles, all
hoping that speedy and peaceful set
tlement of the difficulty may soon be
reached. JASON.

The Strike at BeIlaire.

The Wheeling Register of Tuesday has the
following in reference to the strike at Bellaire
During the strike at this place the strikers
have conducted themselves very gentlemanly
throughout the trouble, and have discounte-
nanced any wrong doings whatever that have
been ascribed to them. Yesterday number
of the strikers assured reporter that they
had nothing to do with the stoppage of the
train on the bridge at this point, last Saturday
evening. They say it was mob made up of
a number of certain class of people who live
here, and others that have come in from other
points during the week past Had it not been
for number of the strikers, as we have been
assured by many of the citizens, in all proba-
bility some serious damage might have result
ed in the affair, which was in certain meas
ure stopped by the strikers, who went into
the mob and dissuaded them of their inten.
tions. The strikers are all in good spirits,
and assured US that the companys property
should not suffer as long as troops were kept
away and no demonstrations made to move
the freight trains lying at this place. Should
there not be an amicable adjustment soon,
and troops sent here to force the meI into
5l5mis SION. there will then be trouble of the
worst kind, as there is Il large number of per-
sons who are just lying off awaiting the op-
po tunily. ne strikers are men who are
strictly sober and will not allow one of their
number to become intoxicated. They are only
asking for what they conceive to be their just
demands. They are firm and determined, and
have said that no trains, except freighls, shall
he molested by them. rhey ask that the rail
road authorities raise the tariff on travel aud
freight, and give to its employees a fair day g
wages for fair days work. These of the e.
& Z. strikers with whom we talked assured
us of the same as the B. & o. strikers. No
trains of any nature left the q. 81 P. depot in
this place yesterday, nor was there any
freight received by the agents. Great excite
ment and indignation prevailed yesterday
when it was runored that United States
troops were en- route for this place. Passen-
ger train No. over the B. & D. r. r. was
detained at this place yesterday. morning
through mistake of the train dispatcher at
Newark, and not by the strikers, as was re-
ported.

THE crowning success of the Festival OIL
Tuesday evening, was the great satisfaction
felt in seeing the young men filling their prop

the weary steps count as nothing while the
joyful hope remains that this so5riety shal
ever continue. There are older ones to whom
the heart goes out in sympathy, and the hops
is felt that each may have strength to choos,
