COlumbu Ohio, Jliy 1877


The Democratic party of Ohio, in
State Convention assembled, renews its
pledges Of devotion to the Union and
the Constitution, with the Amendments.
1t declares as essential to the preserva.
tion Of free Government faithful ad-
herence TO the following principles -
Strict construction; home rule; the gu
premacy of tue civil over the military
power; the separation of Church and
State; tue equality of al citizens before
the law; liberty Of individual action,
anvexed by sumptuary laws; absolute
scquiescence in the lawfully expressed
will of the majority; opposition TO all
subsidies the preservation Of the public
lands to the use of actual settlers; and
maintenance anG per, r,ecting OF our Com.
mon School System AMI as pertinent
to- the issues now pending before tie
people
/ .Resolued, That we look upon the
inauguration of r. B. Hayes to tine high
office of President of the United States,
in spite Of majority of the electoral
and popular vote given by the people to
SamuelJ Tilden, as the most danger
GUS encroachment upon popular rights
that has ever been attempted in this or
any. other free country. A repetition Of
the fraud will not be tolerated
:. The destruction Of the industry of
the country and the pauperism of labor
are the inevitable fruits of vicious laws
enacted, by the Republican party.
8. That, as means of relieving the
distressed portions of the community,
and removing the great stringency COM
planned Of In business circles, we de
mand the immediate repeal OF the Re.
sumption Act.
{. That we denounce as an outrage
upon the rights of the people the enact
ment o: the Republican measure demon
etizing silver, and demand the passage
OF Law which shall restore to silver its
monetary power.
B. That we favor the retention OF
tgreenback currency as the best paper
money we have ever had, and declare
against any further contraction.
8. We congratulate the country upon
the acceptance by the present Admins
tration of the constitutional and pacific
policy of local seif-government in the
States of the South, so long advocated
by The Democratic party, and which has
brought peace and harmony to that sec
ton of the Union. a y
Z. The Registry law framed by the
last Legislature is burdensome and ex.
pensive, and discriminates unjustly
against the poorer class of voters, and
we therefore demand its immediate re
peal.
8. We favor tariff for revenue only.
8. We favor the issue by the General
Government alone of all circulating
medium, whether paper or metallic, to
be always Of equal tender, and intercon-
versible.
10 That we condemn the acts of the
Federal Administration in using the reg
ular troops of the United States to in
terfere with elections and other political
affairs of the States, as unconstitutional,
unlawful and unjustifable, destructive
Of the rights of the people and the
States. Fg, h,eF

day formed by the Convention to the
favorable consideration and support of
all citizens of the State.

What Bit Him.

The Sacramento Union tells a dread
full story of tarantula bite A party of
explorers in search of 'specimens" had
obtained two tarantulas, which were ell
closed in cigar box, carefully tied up,
and deposited beneath the seat of the We
hicle. While they were .jolting through
the canyon the seat slipped, and the
two men occupying it, found themselves
dropped suddenly into the bottom of the
wagon. One of them struck the cigar
box, crushed it, and Immediately, with a
yell Of 'I'm stung I'm stung /" he jumped
from the wagon, and bounced wildly along
the road, then turned and made for the
wagon, shouting to his amazed and alarm
ed companions, "Whiskey! Quick! Pm
dying! Why don't you hurry" The other
three men-there were four in the party
reached simultaneously for the demi-
john, broke off the cork in their haste to
pull it out, and in an effort to knock off
the neck of the demijohn, to save time,
broke the entire concern, and nearly all
the contents were lost. About pint Of
the liquid was saved, however, and with
out as much as saying, "Here's luck"
the person who was bitten swallowed it.
Soon he began to feel better, and eventu-
ally felt so remarkably well that it was
evident the poison had been forced to
succumb. Then the work Of Strengthening
up the contents of the wagon was COM
menced, and the tarantula box was care
fully lifted out and examined, when be-
hold ! the "bugs" were perfectly lifeless,
and so dry and stiff that it was evident
that they had been dead more than TWEEN
ty-four hours, While two tacks in the
broken cover of the box conveyed a very
good hint as to the nature of the bites

Judge Pitman a short time ago bought
a pet lamb for his children to play with.
1t was pretty good-sized lamb, strong
and vigorous, but the judge said he pre-
terred that kind, because the children
would be less likely to hurt it. On the
day that it came home they turned it out
into the front yard, where it strayed
about, nibbling the grass, while the
judge tied up his geraniums. Mrs. Pit
man had the children in the house, and
she was reading to them from book
description Oft the characteristics of lambs.
The account said; "The lamb is one of
the most playful and innocent of animal
SO kind and meek is it that its name has
for centuries been the synonym Of gentle
ness and sweetness Of disposition. 1t
never Injuries any one, and when attacked
it always suffers humbly and in silence.
There is something so beautiful about
the gentle little animal that, Just at
this point Mrs. Pltman was interrupted by
the voice Of the judge coming from the
yard 1t sounded as if he were in distress
OF some kind. The whole family flew out
upon the porch, and there they saw that
pet lamb, whose name was the synonym of
gentleness engaged in butting the judge.
1t would butt him in the rear and knock
him over, and then it would butt him on
the legs, and batter him on the ribs, and
plunge it's head into his stomach, and lam
his skull against his chest. When he rose
it butted his shins, and when he stopped
over to rub them it butted his head. Then
it butted him generally wherever chance
presented itself, and when it had doubled
the judge all up under the Norway ma
pie it butted down three rose bushes,
butted a plaster garden-vase to frag
ments, butted two palings off of the fence,
and danced off down the street, butting
at the tree boxes, the hitching posts and
the northwest wind. Mr.. Potter finally
knocked it on the head with a club and
brought it home to the judge, and subse-
quently, when they had the hind-leg for
dinner, the judge observed to Mrs. Pit
man that from the manner in which the
lamb cut he should believe that it was
born during the war of 1912, and that it
was, in fact, a terrific old ram. Then he
said he would go down and see the man
who sold it for lamb and bang him with
club. Phil. Bulletin.

Tuesday Of April, inst.
~ Of Waldo, respectfully ibels and gives this
of March, 1865, at Washington, in the County of
Knox, she lawfully married to Llewellyn Suke-
FORTH and that she has had by him two children one
now deceased the other, Herbert, born May first,
1872, living; and she has always behaved her
self towards her husband devoted and faithful
wife, yet the said ewelyn Suketorth, regardless of
his marriage vows and duty since their said inter
marriage, has treated her with extreme cruelty has
often kicked her and thrown things her and abused
her in divers ways and treated her with shameful
and indecent language, and has threatened her life
and made her life miserable, and put her in such fear
she had to leave him and he refuses to furnish her
with any support for her or their child and she has
always had to support herself and child for more
than three years. and he has frequently accused her
Of illicit intercourse with other persons, which is
utterly false and untrue; and in 1876 he left the
State of Maine, and she does not know where he
now is although she has made dgent inquiry to
ascertain.
Wherefore she prays that she may be divorced
from the bonds of matrmony existing between her
and her said husband, and she that such di
vorce would be reasonable and proper, conducive to
domestic harmony and consistent with the peace
and morality of society. ELIZA SUKEFORTH.
