Spinal Fever seems to be a disease
eommon to both man and beast; cases of

The name of Frank Payne is COM
mended TO the voters of the county as a
candidate for the Office Of Sheriff. His
experience and adaptation to that position
give strength to his claims. His success in
ferreting out rogues and bringing them to
Justice, are demonstrations OF fitness that
cannot be gainsayed, and entitle him to
favorable consideration before the eonven-
ton. and at the hands of the voters of the
county.
The Cleveland Herald notices that
DR.. Samman of Painssyille suddenly dis
appeared on Friday last, and at the same
time. the wife and little daughter Of Gen.
Luther-a farmer of Perry, we're missing.
Il is intimated that the Doctor. who was
once D. D. and expelled from the pulpit
was fortunate in getting away as he did,
as it saved him from a coat of tar and
feathers which was in reserve for him by a
wronged husband.
The trotting sport at the track on Sat
urday afternoon last, was quite enjoyable,
and the number of horses and their char
acter and performance such as gave gener-
dissatisfaction to the rather large numbers
Of people in attendance. Another meeting
viii be held at the same place on Saturday
of the present week, and some of our best
horses which were not on hand on Saturday
last may be expected, and greater attrac-
tions given to the meeting.
"A new way Of taking doctor stuff,
but perhaps no less sure in its results than
that followed by modern science, is in
practice among the medicine men of the
Nevaio Indians. They tie. their. patients to
trees, rub the medicine upon stones and
then shoot the stones into their bodies.
They admit that they lose some patients,
but in what ratio when compared with the
more popular and enlightened treatment
Of the day, we are not informed.
Il. Munson, of SaybrOOk, who is the in
ventor of the best truss that has been
brought into use, informs us that he has
Just returned from Connecticut. where his
instruments are manufactured, and brought
with him a new supply of very handsome
siiver-plated ones, which he is ready to fit
to any one needing its use. They are light,
easy and comfortable in use, and effective
in their operation, as hundreds in this
county and elsewhere. viii affirm from ex-
perienca.
Mr.. A. R. Houghton, of jefferson, al
lows his name to have place in this''num-
Der among the candidates for the clerkship
of the Courts. His claims are based upon
the facts that he is identified with the in
terests of the county by residence of a
number of years, has been uniform and
earnest Republican, and holds the cardinal,
orthodox virtues of honesty, faithfulness
and eapability, in the measure, at least, Of
his fellow men. The claims are such as
entitle him to the recognition and favorable
regard of the nominating convention.
Attention is called to the announces
ment of the name of Samuel Mccullough,
Of Austinburg, as candidate for the of
fee Of Clerk. In giving the claims of Mr..
Mccullough, the first qualification is that
he has beena defender of his couutry-
having done honorable service in the war
of the rebellion. His record is that of
Republican, and during the years that he
has been resident of the county, he has
been an honOred and esteemed citizens,
whose intelligence and worth his fellow
citizens now wish to reward with position
of honor and trust.
Under the appropriate head in this
paper will be seen the announcement of
Mr.. c. H. Simonds, of Jefferson, as can
didate for the Office of Clerk Of the Court
of Common Pleas, subject to the decision
of the Nominating Convention. For sew
eral years past he has been in the Probate
Judges Office of this county, and has
proved himself prompt, competent and
a pleasant official. A recommendation to
the citizens Of Ashtabula we consider al
most unnecessary, for having lived here
several years he became generally and IA
vorably known. Should he receive the
nomination the citizens of the county may
rest assured that he will fill the office to
the satisfaction of all.
The "Praise Meeting" at the Method
ist church on Sunday evening, was a novel
but successful and entertaining gathering.
The house was filed to its full capacity,
and the interest maintained to a rather
late hour. The choirs of the several
churches were brought together and formed
good substantial basis for congregational
singing, and an address from one of the
pastOrs-Rev. Mr.. McGiffert. The evening
meetings were omitted and all Joined in
this as union service. Prof. Perkins of
course, took the direction, and we were
edited by the excellent sacred music that
was performed, and some useful hints of
musical information which were thrown
cut, and the whole was of very pleasant
eharacter-perhaps, something of relief
from the weary, imperfectly digested aver
age of summer evening preaching.
Mr.. G. A. Streeter met with rather
severe accident while at work at Snyder &
Harris factory, on Friday afternoon last.
He had occasion to climb up over running
circular saw, and in stepping down made
false step, lost his balance and fell upon
it. Fortunately gauge stood up from
the saw board to about the height Of the
saw, and some four or five inches from it.
This saved him from greater calamity.
As it was, he struck the saw with his left
arm on the outside near the elbow, cutting
the muscle and making an ugly flesh
