The telegraph the other day mentioned
banquet given to John Mccullough by
distinguished gentlemen in Washington.
The Sacramento Bee, commenting on the
occurrence, gets off in bad taste rs follows +;
John Mccullough always manages to be
wined and dined wherever he goes, and to
have bis name kept before the public eye.
On Saturday night banquet was rendered
him at Washington. Senator Blaine, JUS

explanation Is to be found in his nickname,

came that such men as Sherman, and his
brother the General, and Associate Justice
Miller, and Senator Blaine, men occupying
the highest positions in the Republic, could
be roped into a midnight carousal ar
ranged for no other parpose than to adver-

tell us the festivities lasted until daylight,
and furnish details Of some ridiculously
emotional goings on between Senator Blaine
and Congressman Blackburn. We would
like TO know who arranged this surprising
feast who paid for it, and above all what

THERE is much talk in the press Of the
opposition to the effect that Senator Thur
man, in the late canvass in Ohio, changed
front on ths finance question. He did
nothing Of the kind. He denounced the
imitation hercsy, and contended that hard
money Is, and should be. the money Of the
country. What he did say was that the
National banks should be abolished and the
Government issue its notes direct. There
IL no sane man who will attempt to con-
trovert the correctness Of the Senator'S
views on this question.

$1,000 in this association for the
benefit of his wife and daughter, and IN
1872 he died, shortly after which Mrs

the amount of the policy, which was re-
fused on the ground that the insured
had died of consumption. In course of

Many cases of hardship, resulting from
the recent hail storm which passed this
way, have come to our knowledge; and
among them that of Mr.. liner Thomp-
son, who lives on Mr.. Fulmer's farm near
Elm Grove, is one of the worst. Mr.
Thompson is poor man, with large
fsmi Y of small children, and is q renter.
He gardens for the Wheeling market, and
has been especially successful in pro
ducing straw berries of the largest dimen-
sions and finest flavor. This season his
strawberry crop YVES especially fine, and
he depended largely on the income from
it to psy mis- rent. HIS berries were
ripeulng nicely, and he had just procured
a new wagon with which to carry them
to market. The hail storm, on Monday
evening, utterly destroyed his entire
crop, as well as all OF his growing veg.
etables and grain; and to add to bis mis-
fortunes, during the thunder storm on
Friday morning, just before daylight, the
lightning struck his stable, killing both
his horses,
