FROM DEERFIELD.

FRIEND MAo;-Presuming few sticks
full" from our own township would not
be unacceptable, propose to at least en-
tighten you and your readers as to the
geography of this part Of Goods coun-
try"
Deerfeld is the south east corner town
ship Of Portage county, the Mahoning
river cutting the southeast corner from
the balance of the township. The land
is rolling, but not hiIly. We have some
of the best farms and best farmers on
the Reserve-we can rival, if not beat
"Molly Stark in raising wheat, although
wheat is not our specially. Ours is nat
urally grass country, and our main cul-
tivated crop is corn, of which we have
this year splendid yield. The potato
crop with us is failure, particularly the
peach blows. 1t is strange that men will
continue to plant worn out and uncer"
tain variety, apparently for the fun of
having their labor for their pains. We
have, admittedly, the handsomest centre
on the Resere, which is, next to Canton,
the place where good people go when
they die. We have three taverns, two
stores, three churches-DsCiples, M. E.,
and the "big church lone grange, a
large and commodious town hall and the
most successful township agricultural So
ciety in the State. There are three fam
lilies, formerly Contamination Murray,
Rev. Kurtz, and your correspondent
and one family, Augustus Bartlett, for
merly Of Massillon.
The first NJ. E. Church erected on the
Reserve was built in Dee6eld township.
We have, also, in the exact center of
the township, an elegant Soldiers Mon
ument, on which is inscribed the names
of Deer6eld men who were killed or died
in the service during the rebellion.
Taking it all in all, we consider our
selves a factor in the make up of the
eternal fitness Of things, and particularly
in Republican maiorities.
We have in our township three grist
mills, five saw mills, one tow mill, be-
sides threshing machines innumerable.
Our township is underlaid with coal. but
little of which, however, has as yet been
worked with any great profit.
AS to health, we brag on that. When
any person here wants to die, when
their time comes" they have to go to
Alliance or Atwater, or some other place,
or else keep on living. 0ne gentleman
died on the 18th inst, who, in the natu-
raj order of things, would have died
about thirty years ago, but he lived until
he was within one month and ten days
of being one hundred years old. This is
poor country for grave stone peddlers'
On some future occasion | will give
detail of the early history, settlement
and incidents connected Herewith, Of
Deerfeld township. BURR.

In New York city, on Sunday last,
masked burglars entered the Manhattan
Savings Bank building, corner OF Broad
way and Bleecker streets, handcufed
the ianitor and threatened death unless
he revealed the combination of the safe
and gave up the keys. They emptied
twenty tin boxes, containing some three
millions of bonds, jewels and other val
uables, and got off safely. The janitor
was suspected and placed in prison, but
was released next day. The officers Of
the bank are, Edward Schell, president
and treasurer; G. F. Alvord, secretary.
The following is the bank officers state
ment: The Manhattan Savings Institu
ton was, on the morning of Sunday, the
18th Of October, 1873, robbed of securities
to the amount of $2 757, 700, of which S.,
sos 700 were registered in the name OF
the institution and are not negotiable,
and Sl68 900 are made payable to it, and
$1,000 in cash. For the purpose OF pre-
venting loss to depositors it is deemed
advisable that no payments be made
without sixty days notice, as required
by the bylaws of the institution.

The Massillon Independent this week
"soueals" over the Third ward tallying
and abuses the editor of the DEMOCRAT,
because we merely gave the facts, and
"nothing more" The Independent ad-
mits the Observation-Disclosures there were
but AIS persons voted, but 475 tickets in
the box, that the clerks tailed $50 more
than AIS, claiming, however, these were
given to the Democratic candidates, and
hence we ought to shut up. What were
the Judges doing when these smart clerks
were adding 80 illegal tallies? Clerks are
under oath as well as judges, and have
no right to tally except as tickets are
read by the judges, and in this case the
Judges had no right under the law to
take out of the ballot box more than 40
tickets. When that number was reached
their mission ended. The Indrpenden!
throws the blame entirely on the clerks,
by merely saying they just tailed 80 too
many, giving no authority for its state
ment. This explanation is no explana-
ton, and is simply ridiculous. This sort
of "squealing" will not crush out the facts

The Presbyterians of Scotland have
reason to be proud of their faith when it
brings to the front of people stricken

of such sound sense as the Rev. DIR. Rob

called to administer upon the ruins of

men desperately in earnest. And when
the Rev. Mr.. Robertson plainly told them
that there was no such righteousness as
we'll doing, and that the builders Of
churches who are at the same time the
wreckers of homes are the most odious
of hypoCrites and sinners, his words
must have sounded in their hearts like
an echo of the sacred scourge which

DEATH OF JOHN H. KLIPPART,

DEATH OF JOHN IL. KLlPPAhL'
Mr.. John H. Klippart, for the past
twenty-five years Secretary of the State
Agricultural Society, died at his resi-
dence in Columbus on the Oath instant,
aged about 56 Mr.. Klippart was ma
tive of Stark county, starting out in bu-
siness al Osnaburg and soon after the
completion of the railroad removed to
Louisville, where he failed in business.
After this he started a newspaper in
Canton in 1858, called The Democratic
Transcript, which died within year
after starting In this Mr.. K. showed
himself to be man of attainmeuts and
good writer. After leaving Canton he

Liberal and the Ohio Farmer at Cleveland.

Ciety, he edited the yearly reports and
has furnished valuable contributions Of
his own thereto. In 1865 he was sent to
Europe to examine and report upon the
institutions there for teaching theoretical
and practical agriculture. He has also
served as Assistant State Geologist and
as one of the Fish Commissioners. He
was an honorary member of many sCien-
tific societies in this and foreign Coun.

TIE following tells the grand result Of
Republican rule. 1t is a whole speech
in itself. and shows the inevitable con-
sequences of legislating for the favored
few regardless of justice and the rights
OF industry and honest business. 1t is
from the N. Y Sun:
"One was a man and the other was a
woman. He killed himself because he
could not obtain employment, and was
unable to support his family. She took
her life by more violent means because
her husband could not make money and
her six children were starving. 1t was
not in a time of famine, nor was pesti-
lence or other calamity sweeping over
the country when these lives were taken.
1t was yesterday. The same story istold
in the newspapers every day.

BEN. BUTLER seems to be making it hot
for his Republican friends in old Massa-
chusetts. H. is making hot canvass
for Governor, and the Republican aris'
tocracy of that State seem to be alarmed.
Butler charges system of coercion upon
laboring men to keep them from voting
for him, and denounces diCtation in any
and every shape. This practice of in
timidating voters Butler charges upon
the Republican leaders and reads Sc.
cret circular which the Republican COM
mittee say is not genuine. A case is CIV
en- of shoe manufacturer who tried to
keep his workmen from attending But
Ter meeting, and who Said he " would
almost consider it his religious duty to
discharge any man who voted for But
ler." This same party, however, have
sent Butler to Congress repeatedly and
who praised. him greatly for his excessive
loyalty during the war. "Times change
and men change with them"

WE called kindly upon the Repository
squad last week to state whether that
ten thousand dollar loan out Of the
county treasury had been paid. AS it
was all in the Republican family like,
we supposed the Repository folks could
easily enlighten the public. Instead of
this, however, the crew dish up half
column of personal abuse upon the
editor of this paper. Our information
as to the ten thousand was got from the
Cincinnati Commercial, Republican pa
per, and it%has not been denied even by
the Rep. Personal abuse on others don't
answer or explain this. 1t shows the
weakness of their cause.

The Rev, Mr.. Hayden, in Connecticut,
is indicted for the murder of Mary Stan
nard. He had a hearing before justice
and was discharged, but during the hear
ing he volunteered statement and men,
toned having bought an ounce of arsenic
at Middletown and hid it in his barn.
This led to suspicion and the stomach of
the murdered girl was examined, when
arsenic was found, and on searching his
barn no arsenic was found there. In the
State Of New York, too, but for Jesse
Billings asking juror Blood why the
prosecution hadn't dug up his wife's body
and examined her head for the remain
der of the lead in the 22O grain bullet, he
would now be out on bail.

WE take pleasure in saying to the ne
Dository SQUAD that we never borrowed a
dollar out of the Stark County Treasury
It is true that for twenty years or more
we had dealings with George Fessler'
and there is an old unsettled matter be-
tween us. There is no County Treasury
paper of ours out-and never was. None
of the deficit lies at our doors.
For long years the Repository has leaned
upon the county treasury heavily, al
times, being a heavy borrower. The
Cincinnati. Commercial article did not
name us as one of those having county
money and unpaid. The Rep don't de-
ny the ten thousand dollar loan to Re-
publican firm which is still unpaid Ihal
paper also admits the fact that George
Fessler was the victim Of Republicans
who were his advisers. The men who
advised George Fessler to steal thirty
thousand dollars of Stark county's money
and 90 to Canada are prominent RepubI'c-
ans were active leaders at the late elec'
ton, labored and hurrahed for Mckin-
lev Heldenbrand & Co. Probate Judge
HeIdenbrand and the examiners ap'
pointed by him to take possession Of and
examine the county treasury, count the
money, etc., from time to time, were all
Republicans.
We say, then, without fear of success
full contradiction, that the men who were
the evil advisers and Counsellors Oh
George Fessler who used him and
abused him-who, in short, made him
their dupe and victim, are leading kepuo'
Ecans. The Repository squad can mol
truthfully gainsay this. Why does not
the McKipley-Tom saxton organ urge
their friends to return their borrowed
money from the county treasury? Was
not one of the Congressional family act
i've in the ten thousand dollar matter
Let the Rep speak out on this, 1t is moi
few hundred dollars. 1t is TEN
THOUSAND.

GENERAL A. j. WARNER, member Of
Congress elect from the Marietta district,
spoke in Pittsburgh last week, and in
his speech thus happily illustrated what
has been going on through Republican
policy and management, Read it:
zone hundred thousand dollars buried
in the earth FIVE years ago would to-day,
if dug up, buy twice as much property IN
the city of Pittsburgh as il would have
bought when buried, which is one hun
dred per cent. gain for idle money. On
the other hand 100000 invested five
years ago in any industry in this city,
famed for its industries in every country,
would yield to its owner not one hall OF
the sum originally invested. The expla-
nation offered by Republican financlers
is that property has shrunk. But prop
erty has not been reduced in quantity,
acres of land are no smaller, mines have
not grown smaller. The only true ex-
planation that can be given is that money
has been altered in value"
To carry out this illustration the idle
money would now be four times more
valuable than the active money. This
shows vicious condition, a policy work
ing evil and disaster to honest industry
and to honest business. The idle money
are the bonds and mortgages of the mon
eyed few. "They toll not, neither do
they spin" yet under Republican rule
their wealth multiplies. This party, too
has the effrontery to claim that they
"protect labor and the laboriDg man."
Congressman Mckinley and his organ
and friends are especially loud in their
claims for protecting labor" They
too, heartily approve Of the shrinkage
that has been going on, which is &c
truthfully shown up by General Warner

MEN with families on their hands, and
laboringfor another man at 80 cents day,
aren OF in the most independent position.
And when the employer is interested in
electing his friend to Congress who will
continue monopoly by way of tariff tax
alton, or patent monopoly, it is quite
natural he should rather desire his work
men to vote right" as he regards it.

the suit against Tildensfor back income

they did not hang Jefferson D.: and they
have no conscientious twinges over
cheating him out of the Presidency to
which the people had elected him. Such

TIE storm shook up Philadelphia on
Monday of last week. The wind blew
at the rate Of seventy miles an hour and
made havoc. steeples snapped like pipe
stems; churches, school houses, ware
houses and private buildings were un-

a moment to heaps of rubbish; vessels
we're blown from their moorings. The
loss in money is large, but there is a
worse loss than that. Many persons
were injured, and seven were killed.
