Resolutions Adopted by the National Greenback
Committee of California.

OVlnuiALIo6 OI CalIOru1a
The State Central Committee Of
the National Greenback Labor party
of California has "preambIedD and re-
solved as follows:
WHEREAS, The demand for the Green
back" perfected and made full legal
tender as the money of the Nation, is
the fundamental principle of the Ma
tionat Greenback Labor party; and
whereas, in nearly all the States the
name National Greenback Labor Par
ty" has been adopted as the party
name; therefore,
Resotued, That the party shall here
after be known as the National
Greenback Labor Party" until other
wise ordered by a National Conven-
ton.
WHEREAS, The National Greenback
Labor party was organized for the
very best interests of the working
men of America, and is to-day the on
ly party whose principles, if carried
out, will alleviate tteir present condi-
ton; and whereas, the workingmen
and women of this country are being
falsely led by an unprincipled, ignor-
ant and designing demagogue; there
fore, be it
Resolued, That we do not indorse
nor will we in any way affiliate with
Penis kearney, and we do most earn
estly deprecate the action of the
Eastern clubs of this party in their
reception of the blatant. profane hmm
bug, as he does not in any way repre-
sent the sentiment of the workingmen

The First Locomotive.

The Middletown Argus says: "The
average citizen will be taken by SUR
prise when told that the first locomo.
tive engine ever placed on a track on
this continent was steamed up and
started just fifty years ago on the 9Th
of August. The trial trip was made
at Honesville, Pa, by the Stourbridge
Lion, an engine built at Stonrbridge,
England, and the credit for the pio-
neer enterprise belongs to the Della
ware and Hudson Canal Company.
Mr.. Horatio Allan, now II years of
age and a resident of South Orange,
N D., was the man who pulled the
first throttle-valve on that day, and to
whom the charge Of building was en-
trusted by the company when he was
sent to England

FROM SCOTCH RIDGE.

Ed. Journal 1T has been n long time
since this place has been represented in
your paper-6rstlv, because of the scarcely
of news, and secondly, for the lack of a
proper person to write mp those few items
which did occnr...... Harvest has COM
menced in earnest, RoI,'t Stewart taking
the lead in cutting wheat, as usual. Corn
bids fair for an abundant crop this season;
oats look fair aud will probably be an av-
erage yield, while hay will he in alum
dance. There is being more buckwheat
sown in this section than for many yea RS
past,.....One Mr.. Brown, Of Bellville
Ridge, delivered very stirring and well
directed lecture on inlemperance at Gloe
Club Hall, last Saturday evening. From
what | learn concerning Mr.. b., he is a
member Of the famous Brown Family, and
is very enthusiastic on the temperance
question...... Rev. A. j. Mlrch and family
arrived to-day and will make n permanent
location in this place. Mr.. Mirch is an
energetic, enterprising minister, and is do
ing much good here.......Mrs. Charlotte
Ilseman is absent visiting her son, in HUI
ron county. George Lnomis has returned
from Michigan, where he has been engag-
ed in buying sheep. Mr.. l.. has purchased
about 500 sheep at low figure and they
will arrive this week. {. V. Black, who
resides half mile east Of the Ten Mile
House, WAS sunstroke one day last week
while on his way to Pemberville. IIe was
attended by DR.. j. d. Whitaker and is
rapidly recovering. 1.-THE witch who
wrote, "Who makes n woman his delight
has reason always in his sight" missed it
sadly in the case of William Phillips, who
is "whiling away the happy hours" in the
insane ASYLUM ut Columbus, in consequence
OF the umdeserved attention he paid to his
annie Laura" and the miserable treat
ment he received in return. The Sentinel
aud Pemberville Independent assign, as II
canse for his insanity, excessive intoXica-
ton; but those who reside in The imme
diate vicinity and are acquainted with the
nature of The case, do not hesitate tn
say that family urpleasanincss is the
prime cause ot his partial insanity.
It's truly encouraging to no'e The growing
popularity fthe JOURNAL in the southern
| portion OF the county, and here where the
| Sentinel is taken quite extensively the
| JoURNAL is hailed as the old reliable,
| aAd is preferred by those who are acquaint-
ed with it to any other local paper in the
eounty......"P. g. j." of Portage, has well
said, "let the correspondents OF the JJuR-
| NAL meet at sonic stated place and enjoy
a social good time" "P. e." set youl
time and place, and you may bet your dear
life that "Country Teacher" aud myself
will he there. You see we both live ia
the same township and not very far apart
either; so you may rely on us, as ",
already consider ourselves Invited. BY
the-way, when you speak OF the matter
again don't fail to invite the editor Ia,
enjoys such occasions immensely.
Very truly ALLsPIcE.

but not having the means to return | was
obliged to stay until have become some
what acc!imated, and feel quite well at
work in the sun, but confess | always feel
best at six o'clock, when the whistle blows
and the boss forks over six silver half
dollars.
Hundreds of people who come to Cali
tornia return discouraged, thinking that
no money can be made here But the
facts are, no one can come from Ohio here
and go right to work, for the work is all of
a different kind and must first be learned
No wheat is cut or bound by hand, nor is
a threshing machine fed by hand, but bv
means OF feeding draper, the wheat being
placed from the stack on the draIer bv
means of derrick fork. or rope and pull
leys worked by a team, while the wheat
runs from a spout into burlap sacks, which,
when full, are sewed up and sold with he
wheat. The straw also is taken away BY
horse power, so when a man comes along
in search of job he is asked ii he can
10 this, or that, and being unable to an
swer nfiirnatively, he may pass a dozen
good Jobs per day while his board will cost
him enough to make him homesick. The
first month we found no employment, but
We rented a house, spent our time in max
ing the acquaintance of men and business,
and now have prospects OF profitable busi-
ness for all, the year round. The scenery
where we live is romantic. The Butte
Mountains, 10 miles off, are 1900 feet
above the level of the plain on which we
live, while beyond stands Mt. Shasta, its
snowy summit glittering in the sunshine.
All along the east is the mighty wall Of
the Sierra Nevadas, and TO the west the
coast range, with their brown furrowed
sides and their highest peaks covered with
snow. A broad valley, like Grass valley,
looks from here like a little furrow in the
mighty cmbankment. Fruit is plenty
now, and farmers being too busy to take
care Of il, we can get all the peaches, APP
pies, aprico;s and figs we want for gather
ing them. The White Smyrna fig succeeds
well here, and the ground under the trees
is almost offensive from the ripe fruit that
has fallen and crushed from the fall. Figs
bear spontaneously all summer and with
out n blossom fruit in all stages OF growth
are to be found on the same tree at the
same time.
More in due time.

FACTS VS.. FICTION,

Your correspondent "Vindex," alias Hol.
lenbeck, says that Mr.. Hanson, when he
said "proiessed journalist" meant the
undersigned. | think Mr.. Hollenbeck
must he mistaken, for most certainly
have never made any such acknowledge
ment" to Mr.. Hanson, or any other person,
aud yet Mr.. HoIlenbeck may not be mis-,
taken, for Mr.. Hanson has shown evidence
Of an exceedingly defective memory on
other occasions: notably in his official re-
port of a business meeting Of the contribr-
tors to the Presbyterian Church, wherein
he said "The Mayor OF the village being
present. volunteered some remarks to the
members of the church." The then Mayor
OF the village was not pre- ent at the meet
ing referred TO, and no person attending
said meeting volunteered remarks to
members OF the church." His entire re-
port was singuInrly incorrect and imngin-
ativc. Charity ais me to the conclusion
that Mr.. Hanson's memory is strangely
deficient, where the facts are not just US he
would have them, and that lie really mis-.
takes his own wishes and imaginirgs for
actual occurrences. For this seemingly
uncomfortable pecnliarity, he is probably
lpl IN n IN INF L.. e al, tb,,n a.

Graduated With HOnOrs. - Judge
DODGE visited New York last week to be
present Mt the graduating exercises at Mt.
Saint Vincent Academy, at which his
little bIackeyed daughter, MARY f. carried
off all the principal medals. The Judge
and daughter returned home on Friday
night last, the latter bringing with her
the well earned laurel. Of the graduating
class, consisting of S75 solid gold medal,
the first award for English Literature,
and very handsome Mathematical media
which was also the first prize in that
branch of study. This award she places
the greatest value upon, as she labored
the hardest to merit aud secure il. Be-
sides these, she brought home with her
the handsome graduating gold medal
which is fine souvenir of the Academy
aud a very handsome ivory hound book,
awarded for proficiency in christian de-
pertinent and doctrine. She would also
have carried off the first medal awarded
for hest composition, but hel aunt, who
had charge OF the school, would not
hand it in. Space forbids an attempt
at description Of these valued prizes,
which must he seen to be appreciated.
We feel proud that one of our little
girls from the "Black Swamp" graduate
Of our High School, shOu d, in ten months
time, carry off all the principal media $
awarded by the cd St. Vincent Acad-
emy. 1t is another evidence OF OhiO's
greatness. We see it stated that the roll
OF Nassar graduates this year spark les
with the names of Ohio cir ., and Ohio
boys have taken three out of the six
principal honor| at Ya'e. So it goes.
There is n grand demand for Ohio to let
