The following resolutions were
adopted by number of citizens of
Cass District, at Osageville, last
week:
WHEREAS, Believing that silver
should be a full legal tender, that the
country should not be dragged
through the depths of ruin, wretched-
ness and degradation in order to reach
a gold standard for the benefit alone
of the income classes; that the people
should be provided with a uniform
currency free of taxation, and that the
future legislation should not be cher
acterized by the discrimination of the
past; therefore, be it
Resolved, That silver should be re-
stored exactly as it stood before it
was touched by the act of Feb, 1873,
and that it be a full legal tender, as
it is as good now for the payment of
all debt public and private as it was
during 81 years of American Histo-
ry.
Resolrcd, That the act Of Jan 14th,
1875,compelling return to specie pay.
ment in Jan, 1879, be Internationally
repealed, as the question of a return
to specie bases for our currency
should be entirely controlled by the
business interests of the people of the
| United States.
Resolved, That the National bank
ing system be removed and a circu-
lat;ng medium be provided by the
Government, and that the amount
thus placed in circulation bear a rea-
sonable and judicious proportion te
the business interests and population
Of the United States,
Rcsolved, That the currency auth
orizcd and circulated by the Govern

ment be legal tender for all debts

to the Government.
Resolred, That the Government be

such taxation would be only equal
justice to the non-tax paying portirn

REV. GIBBONS, of the Protestar

Rev. GIBBONS, of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, preached on last
Sabbath forenoon and afternoon at
the Academy Hall to quite large
audience. The hall was too we'll ven
tilated for the windy day and many
delicate persons suffered with cold.
1t takes person of good judgment
and experience to keep a church or
public hall the right temperature,
or,,, when the sexton or janitor has
not this judgmeni.. and experience
some leading official ought to ta%%e
tho matter In charge and see that it
Is done right. The lack of attention
to this important matter prevents
many people from going to church,
they preferring to worship God under
their own "vine and fig tree" where
there is no danger of catching cold
and being sent to meet their maker
before their time.

AN exchange says: "Last week a
man stepped up to us and said he
would pay us if he lived until Satur-
day night. We haven't seen him
since, and presume he died on Fri
day. Another said he would pay us
in a day or two as sure as we were
born. Query-did the man lie or
were we never born? Another said
he hoped to 60 to the devil if he did
not pay us in three days. Have not
seen him since, but suppose he's
gone. Quite number said they
would see us court-day. These men
have been stricken blind, or else
court-day has not come. One man
told us six months ago that he would
pay US as soon as he got some money.
The man would not lie, and, of course,
hasn't had cent since"

grasp Of Jacob Slime than all the dogs
numbering about II or Is, were fol-
lowing suit and picked up the fox in
about 20 minutes.

Youthful PrccocitY.

William Davenport, a tcrceron, l.
years of age, raised by Bill McKins-
ley who lives across the river, above
town, in the language of the red man,
"vamoosed the rancho" last week.
1t seems that the wild and hayward
youth, by his cunning and trickery,
often excited the chastisement of his
adopted father. This, to the youth,
grew monotonous and even unbeara-
BILE. The other day the heads of the
household found cause to warm him
up severely and then left him with
two other children to take care of the
house. No sooner had they out-of-
sighted themselves than the young
protege arranged chair, climbed
upon it and took from the cupboard
some preserves and jellies, eating and
muttering vengeance. The cups
empty, he slammed them on the floor
saying he'd abe id if he didn't
have some happiness some time and
enjoy q little freedom" After he had
filed his ravenous NAV, he told his
companions he was off for Fairmont.
He struck a bee line for Greensboro,
Pa, and got aboard of boat. Un-
Gle Billy sought him at Fairmont
without finding, came home, heard of
him being on steamboat down the
river, made haste after him, but he
was too sharp and had boarded a
boat for St. Louis and gone when his
adopted paternal reached Pittsburgh.
He waved his hat on leaving the lat
ter place and swore he was now en-
joying freedom and peace and was
going to see the world. The morn
ing before he started man asked
him if he had had anything to eat for
breakfast. Receiving a reply in the
negative, he handed him Is cents and
told him where to 60 to procure eata-
bles. He went in that direction, but
begged some bread of another boy
and kept the money in his pocket.
The man told him of it and he said
he wanted to keep the money. He is
the same lad that put up job on our
friend Morgan of the Post. He went
to the office of the Post one morning
and told Morgan he wanted so cents
out of him. The inquiry was, what

brought two chickens to town, sold
them to the editors wife anu she not
having the change said to go to him

SOME one attempted to blackmail
prominent physician of Fairmont
last week. Serious charges were made
against the physician which is believ-
ed by all to be false. An anonymous
letter addressed to the physician was
dropped into the postoffice, stating
that unless the physician handed over
one hundred dollars the writer would
make certain things public. The gen
tleman sustains an unblemished char.
acter.

THE influence of the railroad is be

THE influence of the railroad is be-
ginning to be felt already. We learn
that John N. Lewellen, an agent for
the Pittsburgh u Southern Railroad
Company, has been purchasing coal
from several citizens on SCOTS Run.
Among others he bought 7.acres Of j.
J. Wharton, 20 acres of Mark Weav-
er, 100 acres from VIM. Hall and 80
acres of Sanford Weaver. The compa>
ny must be certain that they will fins
ish the road or they would not be
buying land this early in the game.
This is the first fruit of the enterprise.

the market since the latter part Of last
week few more sales having been made
at and near our top figures than there
were late last week. The demand has
been only m oderate at our quotations.
The quality is fully as good as last week.
The market cl oses steady. Prospects are
fair only for a continuance Of prices for a
few days Quot atoms 5l@6A cents, few
selling at the later price.
SHEEP.-The receipt, though much in
excess Of last weeks offerings, were
scarcely up to the demand which has
been active, and prices in, consequence,
are fraction better. The quality gen>
orally, Is about as last weeks with the
exception of one lot, which were sold by
G. A. Murphy at our top quotations. We
quote Sheep at 4@53 cents for common
to fair. and 54@6 cents for fair to good,
and Ga cents for extra.
