| saw an account in your last paper
about the voters in Jefferson township
fifty years ago. You spoke about my
father, William Conner, who lived in JEFF
ferson township. l was born and raised
in Jefferson township.
1 knew Solomon Mackley and used to
go to his horse mill when l was little
boy; also, I knew your father, John
Mackley, and Jacob, your crippled broth
err; also Johnny Shoemaker, and the
Horton family, from beginning to end.
You spoke of Harmons, Uncles Of
mine. l recollect very well of DR.. Nc
Neil, and Jesse Kelly, and a great many
others there is not room to mention.
Do you recollect teaching school in the
old Welsh meeting house by my fathers,
William Conner? That was the first
school l ever went to. Do you recollect
me? Do you recollect teaching in Uncle
Emanuel Corners old log cabin, on faith,
er's farm where l and Uncle Harmon's s
boys and James Aliens barred you out
of the house. and you treated to the ap-
piles?
Do you recollect having fuss with
young Robert Allen for bouncing a ball
on the floor?

To the Editor of the Standard
In reading your Personal Recollec
tions of Jefferson township fifty years
ago, | notice you miss several names that
lived in the township at that time.
Theophilus Blake and Amos Arthur,
brother Of Benjamin Arthur lived in
section one, and Amos Leniger and his
father lived near DR.. McNeers. Then
Jesse Radabaugh and James Jenkins
lived in section two, joining farms south
of Benjamin Arthur and William II. c.
Jenkins. In section three lived William
Arthur, brother of Reuben Hawks wife,
and Joseph Horton, my grandfather,
lived near John johnson. In section
five lived Henry Hughes, William
Hughes, George Hughes and Abner Cut
Ter, all in section five, and Joel Martin
must have lived there near fifty years
ago Henry Hughes was the father Of
James, William and George Hughes, and
the grandfather of Henry Hughes.

The Dayto Journal charges that Gen.
Beatty was salary grabber," and says
that this mistake of his was the only
thing that kept him from being the Re
publican candidate for Governor in 1875.
Is the Journal prepared to say that this
charge is true or does it know anything
about the matter? An inquiry at the
Treasury Department of the United
States might possibly knock the bottom
out of the salary grabbing business -
When General Beatty asks the Republi
can party for an Office, it will then be
time enough to contradict the story and
prove its falsity, which can easily be
done The only fault with the gentle
man alluded to, and which calls down
upon him the abuse of certain one-horse
politicians and small-fry newspapers, is
that he is an earnest advocate of the
principles of the Republican party. He
does not aspire to be a political leader
but he has views" which he is not afraid
to express openly and without fear
What the Republican party needs at thi.
time is few more men like Genera
Beatty Col. Dispatch.

Rain, rain all the time. Roads in a
fearful condition Creeks all got their
backs up. What is left, (and there are
not many,) that are not calling around
hand shaking, are improving the time
trying to coax the unwary fish into dip
nets. l noticed that these fishermen
were not doing land Office business.
The elevator at Schooley's Station is
running full blast, and sending cars Of
corn out in every direction. A serious
accident occurred at one of the elevators
at Chillicothe. l didn't get all the par
ticulars, but it seems young man was
holding on to an iron rod, and letting the
corn that was shelled and falling into the
hopper, come up to his waist, and then
would draw himself up He done this
once too often, and losing his hold on
the bar, fell and was buried in the corn
The engine was Immediately stopped,
but when uncovered he was dead.
The farmers are generally busy getting
their ground ready for corn. The soil in
this section of country is we'll adapted
for corn. l examined new patent corn
harvester the other day, that will be
tremendous labor saving for our farmers.
1t was invented bv Messrs James Stew
art and J. w. Jones, of this county.
This machine is constructed, as it were,
of two frames, an upper and lower
frame, connected by vertical rods, the
rear end of the lower frame curved up
ward to connect with the upper frame,
extended forward forming the shafts
On the right side of the machine, at
tached to the lower frame, is the finger
bar. 1t is supported on two wheels,
something similar to our moving ma
chimes. In front of the driver is a reel,
which bends the corn toward the finger
bar, and after it is cut it falls on con-
cave bottom hinged to the rear of the
finger bar When you have enough cut
the bottom is caused to drop by means of
lever, allowing the corn to fall in a
bunch to the ground Messrs Stewart
and Jones are to be congratulated on
their success, in giving machine long
needed | understand they intend show
ing their machine at the County and
State Fair.
Health generally good, about the only
complaint is bad colds. Mr.. Ed. Cald

thing like paralysis. Yours truly,

The schools in Jefferson township are
nearly all drawing to close for the pres
ent year. The school at Gallia Station,
taught by Thomas Phillips, closed last
Tuesday-winding up with an excellent
exhibition, consisting of dialogues, decla-
nations, recitatons, &c. Taking into
consideration the short time they had
been preparing. they did excellently.-
Small pupils, scarcely old enough to
speak plainly were upon the stage, speak
ing their little pieces, brave as heroes.
On Thurday evening the citizens of
Samsonville and vicinity were favored
with a rich treat in the way of grand
concert by the Samsonville Glee Club.
under the leadership of Thomas Powell
Mr.. Powell is young man possessing
considerable musical talent and as a
leader, is considered success here. The
entertainment consisted of Duets, Trios
Choruses, &c, interspersed with dia-
logues, and comic pieces 1t would be
unjust not to make mention of the two
Miss Phillips daughters of John Phil
lips,) who enlivened the occasion by fur
nishing splendid instrumental music on
the organ, and playing the accompani
ment to the various pieces.
The Oak Hill Glee Club honored the
occasion with their presence, and per-
formed several of their nice pieces. The
whole thing was a pleasant affair and the
patronage which the Samsonville Glee
Club received from this community, is
evidence of the high estimation in which
they are held as musicians, and that the
citizens here know how to appreciate
home talent; but Mr. Powell, why not

Your paper has ever been particular

to it than ever. While Ida, our daugh-

pleased and diverted me most, for /
had often heard my mother repeat them
to me when l was a child, telling me
what was in her old school book, and
of late l had often tried to repeat
them to our children, but never could
remember but one verse, the verse COM
mencing with the peacock-not that /
thought they were so beautiful or lovely,
but merely to show to them what
their grandfathers and mothers had to
amuse their minds while passing away
the hours of childhood. l was much
pleased that those lines, as in dream.
were revealed to you, for it brought back
fresh to my memory the sweet happy
hours of childhood, whilst fondling
around my mothers knees, though her
body has for twenty five years been
sleeping beneath the soil of Scioto county,
near Lucasville. l know not in what
way to express my thanks of gratitude,

"Walting for Mother
BY MARY d. BRINE.

The old man sits III his easy chair,
Slumbering the moments away,
Dreaming dream that is all his own,
On this gladstone, peaceful day.
His children have gathered from far and near,
His children's children beside,
And merry voices are echoing through
The Homestead s." halls, so wide.
But far away in the years long flown
Grandfather lives again
And his heart forgets that it ever knew
shadow of grief or pain.
For he sees his wife as he saw her then
A matron comely and fair,
With her children gathered around his board
And never q vacant chair.
oh happy this dream of the "Auld Lang Syne,'
OF the years long slipped away
And the old mans lips have gathered a smile
And his heart grows young and gay.
But a kiss falls gently upon his brow,
From his daughters lips SO true:
"Dinner is ready; and, Father, dear,
We are only aoditing for you !'
The old man wakes at his daughters call,
And he looks at the table near.
There's one of us missing, my child" he says,
1--WE will wait till Mother is here"
There are tears in the eyes of his children then,
AS they gaze on an empty chair:
For many lonely year has passed
Since - MOtlter'' sat with them there.
Bun the old man pleads still wistfully:
awe must tcdit for Mother, you know J"
And they let him rest in his old armchair
Till the at last sinks low.
Then, leaving a smile for the children here,
He turns from the earth away,
And has gone to 'MoIher," beyond the skies,
With the close of The quiet day.

The growth of our city has been re-
markably rapid. Three years ago the

there were but two dwellings, one store

with a remnant of store tobacco, instead
of handful of leaves mixed with sor-
ghum and rolled up in piece Of paper.
Such is civilization.
Quite a number of new buildings are
in course of construction. Mr.. Banghim,
our worthy shoemaker, is building res

An Artists Dream.
BY ROBERT BURNS WILSON.

Her dainty feet trip DER the field
Where daisies lie,
The tints of heavens azure shield
Flash III her eye.
Upborne upon the amorous air
In shimmering fold
Stream back the ripples of her hair
Like molter gold.
Her brow is like the welcome dawn,
Whose pallid light.
When nights depressing hours are gone,
Breaks on the sight.
Her cheeks are like the clouds of snow
That blush with pride,
Kissed by the suns vermilion glow
AT eventide.
Her lips are like the dew-bent rose
Whose blOod-red heart
The type of passion in repose,
Begins TO part.
Her noStril like the liIy's leaf
Is curved and white,
And trembleS quick with joy or grief
Or sudden fright.
Her breath is like the breath of May,
When, after rain,
From meadows sweet it bears the spray
To heaven again.
Her neck is like a shadowed curve
In silver sand,
Where dimpled Sunlit waveletS Swerve
To kiss the strand.
Her heaving breast is soft and warm,
And free from care;
And sacred is the hallowed charm
That neStleS there.
Her waist is girt in woman's grace,
That firmly holds
Her Silken drapery in place
In chaste white folds.
Her limb in modesty is draped
may not try
Those lines in classic beauty shaped,
By fancy's eye.
Her ancles are as swift as thought,
AS fleet as fair;
Bewitching fancies never caught
Encircle there.
Her feet, alas! they mock the power
But could their sweet weight crush a flower,
'Twould live again.
Her smile is like the genial sun
In winters day;
The laugh of summer unbegun
Lives in each ray.
Clear is her voice as crystal sweep
OF pebbled stream,
Whose music murmurS In the sleep
OF its own dream.
And soft it comes when darkness falls;
Within my studios silent walls
Recall its tone.
Hersteps like shadows on a rock
Fall on the floor,
Her white and dimpled fingers knock
Upon my door.
Come in call, but there is none
That makes reply.
There is no love of such an one
For such as l.
She comes not on my nerveless arm
Sinks down my head
Farewell for aye, distracting charm,
My heart is dead.
