The Golden Wedding of Rev. John Hamilton

The exercises at the M. e. Church on Saturday

Lloh from the Lutheran Observer referring to this
occasion.
The ladies displayed their usual good taste In

BY the above 1t will be seen that the venerable
John Hamilton, D, D., and his worthy partner are
still among this life, and continue to command
the esteem of good people. We should like to
have been present on the occasion to greet the
venerable pair. Doctor Hamilton, in former
years, resided In Stark county, and over thirty
years ago was pastor for some time Of the English
Lutheran congregation of Canton. Cur readers
will also remember the able articles we have pub
lished from his pen from time to time, of late
years. Long may our reverend friend and his
companion remain with us.

NATURALIZATION.

The following Is a carefully prepared synopsis
of the naturalization laws: Children under the
age Of twenty one years at the time of the natura-
lization of their parents, SHALL If dwelling in the
United States be considered as citizens. Children
of an alien who had made his declaration and
dies before he is naturalized shall be considered
as citizens, upon taking oaths prescribed by law.
An alien minor, having resided in the United
States for three years next preceding his majority
and has continued to reside therein until he makes
application to be admitted as citizen may, after
he arrives at the age Of twenty one, and after re-
siding FIVE yeals within the United States, includ.
ing the said three years, be admitted as citizen,
without making his declaration three years previ-
ous 10 his admission, II at the time of his adms.
sion he makes the said declaration, and further
declares on oath and satisfactorily proves to the
court that for three years next proceeding 1t has
been his bOnatide intention to become citizen,
and shall In all other respects comply with the
naturalization laws. A declaration legally made
two years before admission is a sufficient compli-
ance with the law. An alien twenty-one and over,
who was a soldier and honorably discharged may
be admitted as q citizen upon his petition without
any previous declaration Of intention need only
prove one years residence before application.
Court must be satisfied that he was honorably
discharged, and Of a good moral character. An
alien may be admitted citizen on the following
condiuons Must make declaration three years
previous to his admission shall satisfy court of
five years residence, at least. in the United States
one year within the State that he has behaved as
man Of good moral character, attached to the
principles Of the constitution Some other person
than applicant must prove his residence,

HOSE COMPANY No. 7.--The City Council acted
wisely In continuing in existence Hose Company
No. Of the First Ward, whose hose house is To-
Gated on Cherry street, near the railway track.
The captain is Jack Lindeman, and he and his
company, like other hose companies, are always
prompt to duty when occasion requires. The at.
tempt to prevent the Council from continuing
this company, by slanderng the members thereof,
proved signal failure Ifsuch things did occut,
as charged, they belong elsewhere, not to Hose
Company No, z. Irregulars and tramps may be
guilty of bad practices, but not good citizens and
not young men whose aim is 10 protect the clti
zens and the town, To any one aggreved the
law Is open, and 1t is nonsense to charge upon
respectable company, delinquency, without ia.
king the proper course OF proceeding The effort
to displace this company proved abortive, not.
withstanding the means resorted to-.

STARK COUNTY FAIR NEXT WEEK.

Probably at no time In the history Of the Stark
County Agricultural Society was there so much
effort put forth by the managers to make success
of the Fair as there has been this year.
Weather permittlI we predict not only full
exhibition but full representation Of the people
of the county Additional accommodations have
been secured by the erection OF gallery In the
ROtunda Of the Hall, and adds very much to the
beauty of the Hall as well as supplying long felt
want for the exhibition of the fine and light pro-
ducts.
With this and other additional Improvements
and the very interesting programme presented
the 29th Annual Fair can not fail but excel any
previous exhibition.
The Band Contest on the last day Of the Fair in
which probably all the Bands of the county will
take part, is alone worth the entry fee to the
grounds.
Great credit is due the Secretary for his Jealous
devotion to the duties pertaining to his office
perfectly cOnVersant with all the routine of the
management he is the right man in the right
place Come one and all and celebrate your 29th
Annual Festival and Fair.

night upon family residing near Columbiana.
The family consisted Of two bachelor brothers
named Woman and servant girl, and the vii.

bers Of the family were pairing peaches, and the
tramps, four in number, ordered them to remain
perfectly quiet, The girl was thrown to the floor
and one of the brothers knocked senseles with a
club, but the other plunged his knife into the side
OF one villain and gave the others the best he had
while the girl rang the dinner bell. The noise

1t may only be silly prejudice but we never
could pin our faith to an orator who had habit
OF raising himself Hp and down on his toes while
speaking, We never saw an exhibition of this
habit but whatit was accompanied by "a peculiar
self-satisfed smirk and general appearance of
conceit. The orator may be very polished and go
through these contortOns very gracefully, but to
our mind 1t always seems to indicate lack of
sincerity and canpor. We don't believe that any
really great man could by any mistake fall into
this habit. By no stretch Of imagination could
we conceive of George Washington, or even
George jerks, fitting himself In this egotlstical
manner. 1t seems peculiar to men of small cali
bre, but according to the natural law of compen-
sation, when the benehcent Creator deprives
man Of brains there seems to be multitude Of
small graces spring up 10 take the place of more

THR ENcAMPMENT.-The encampment OF the
9Th Regiment o. N. G. atMyers's Lake was grand
success 1.-THE boys were better equipped, If a few
more OF Uncle Sans blankets had been in camp,
or the nights less cool they would probably have
remained longer, But consideration for the
health as well as comfort Of the men compelled
the early breaking up of camp. Much was learn.
ed by the men, and the Regiment is now well
drilled, which could hardly be said Of 1t at the
beginning of the enCampment. Camp Myers is
considered by the boys the best place they ever
camped The COmmandant, however, says he
would prefer to camp ten miles from any town,
because Of the troublesome requests for permits
OF leave when a regiment is camped near town.
We feel like conRratulating the regiment on the
excellence Of their band, which Is rapidly grow.
ing lBt.class and is already far above the aver.
age The officers Of the regiment have won many
friends In Canton, and would be cordially vel,
