The Right and Duty of Voting.

After passing through an election and
seeing and hearing OF the methods adopted
80 secure votes, the small value that many
place upon their right 10 vote, DC, &c, it
appears that Republics are in constant
danger. The Cincinnati Gdactte gives us
some practical thoughts Oh this subject
about election times which are always
worthy Of consideration. II says: There
is much talk OF the right to vote, but none
of the duty to vote aud Ia vote conscicn-
tiously. There is much talk of government
by the people, but none of sense of re-
Eponsibility in the persons who make up
the governing people. The right to vote
and the right to govern are treated as
merely personal property, like n mule
which a man may use or not Use, and may
abuse, as lie pleases, and it is nobody else's
business how he uses or abuses it, But If
there is right to vote, there is duty to
vote, and to vote conscientiously. And il
there is right of every man to share in
governing, there is responsibility to gov
ern we'll, and to do the best he can to make
the government good. The individual is
under the same obligation to exercise his
governing voice, by the vote he casts, for
the beat good Of all, as if he were under an
official oath. lie who regards his vote as
n thing which he may use or abuse at his
pleasure, and which he may cast or not
east, upon mere personal whim is but one
remove from him who thinks that his vote
ia his personal property, and therefore, he
may sell il.

Cincinnati T6nes: Tho movement Of
DR.. Stephen II. Tying, Jr., in New York, TO
secHre cenvcnIion Of those who sympa.
ihise with him In regard to the coming Of
Christ, has had the effect 10 direct atten-
tion anew to the doctrines Of the Second
Adventists.
The sect had its origin in the Millerites.
The founder, William Miller, preached
that the second coming OF Christ would
occur III the year ls43, but "a the advent
did not occur at that time the date was
6xed for 1874. Mr.. Miller's death occur
red in ls49, and the sect who followed him
then divided. Part Of them had, at an
earlier date, embraced the views Of Sew
enth Day Baptist, Mrs. Rachel d. Preston, J.,
and have since been known, from the com.
bination Of Millerism and Prestonism, rs
Seventh Day Adventists. In the Spring
OF 184S this sect held its first general com
ference at Rocky Hill, Connecticut, less
than thirty persons being present. The
church now claims TO have a membership
of $4,000 persons in the United States. Its
chief seat is at Battle Creek, Mich, and
there is carried on at that place II consid-
erable publishing business. One OF their
pamphlets seems to have been recently dis
tributed as tract, and to it we are indebt-
ed for the brief account Of the Advent
creed which follows:
Elder James White, the chief Of the Ad-
ventists, was warm disciple of William
Miller. But when the dates fixed for the
IL frunftAp of lao ,,a,.oI al a.
great globe still continued to roll IN its
mighty orbit, it became necessary to ex-
plain the failure Of the prophecy. Sume
held that the prophetic 2,3O0 days Of Dam
iel had been wrongly calculated. Others,
howevei-and of these were Elder White
and his school-held that the prophecy OF
the cleansing Of the sanctuary meant some
thing different from the Interpretation
which had been placed upon the words
Instead Of signifying the end OF the world,
the words were held to refer to the entrance
OF Christ into the tabernacle to cleanse it.
The calculation, then, of the Millerites
was not wrong, but simply the intcrpreta-
ton that was placed on the passage. The
period which is to elHpse between the en-
trance into the tabernacle in 1874, and the
final destruction OF the world, is brief but
indefinite.
The Biblical passages on which they
chiefly rely are the seventh chapterof Dan.
iel, aud the eleventh, Twelfth, thirteenth,
fourteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth
chapters of Revelations. The great red
dragon is held to symbolic pagan Rome
and the beast with the seven heads and
two horns Papal Rome. The beast having
two horns like lamb is interpreted as the
United States, its two horns representing
Republicanism and Professionalism.
If Ohio is not recognized and provided
for, we shall lie inclined to remain skep.

Della Gas WOrks.-Many of our read
ers will remember that little over year
ago we made mention OF the fact that Mr..
Ward Barber of this place, who was then
making preparation TO build residence
on Wood street, had, in boring a we'll,
struck strong vein of gas. AS this was
not the first time gas had been discovered
10y boring wells in this vicinity, not much
was thought OF it, il being nothing new,
But TO the sequel: Mr. Barber's house is
now about completed, and it is not only
one of the very fine residences for which
our village is fast becoming noted, but is
one OF the best in the county. Prominent
among the many conveniences found in
looking through the building, is gas burn
crs in every room The gas is supplied
from the WE'LL nffording II most beautiful
light, and is entirely inodorous, whether
burning or not. 1t was supposed that the
supply would soon become exhausted, but
the well has been open for over n year and
now affords n continuous supply sufficient
for two burners. Mr.. Barber will in
short time have n reservoir built of 100
cubic feet capacity, which will insure n
sufficient supply for any possible emergen.
cy. lie is certainly fortunate in nature
thus furnishing him one of the great bless
ings free OF cost and in n hounlless supplv.
and, m we said above, this not being the
first gas found in our place, no doubt 9th.
ers will follow his example. Mr.. Barber
informs us that from the inquiries he has
made recently in regard TO gas wells of
this kind that sufficient supply can be
obtained tor the use of the entire village
lie expects next Summer to uSe il for cook-
ing purposes, using n stove similar to the
coal oil lstoYe-Audlanche.
