The Ohio County Fair.

the Ohio county fair commences at
Hartford next Tuesday, Sept. 30th, and
continues five days. We understand
the managers have made extra prepar-
ations this year, having built a new am
phitheatre and made other additions to
the grounds, and expect this entertain
ment to surpass any they have yet Civ
en-. Their speed ring is an excellent
one and their premiums liberal. Ohio
county has earned an enviable reputa-
tion by her fairs heretofore, and all who
have attended came away well satisfied
The railroad company have reduced the
fare from Greenville and intermediate
points to one and one-flfth for the round
trip, while similar arrangements have
been made at Beaver Dam for transpor-
tation to the grounds. We hope good
ly number of our citizens will take adj
vantage of this opportunity of visiting
our sister county next week.-EchO.

to see us last Thursday. He left Friday
for Bethany, West Virginia, where he
will attend Bethany College the present
session. Mr.. Crow attended this Insti-
tute of learning last session and is well
pleased. He favors this Institute be-
cause of its thoroughness and also be-
cause it allows students to take their

John \. Moore Acquitted.

The trial of John :. Moore, for the kill
ing of Stearman came up in the Ohio
Criminal Court again last week. The
contest was spirited one, the counsel
on both sides putting forth their best eff
forts; but the shrewdness, ability and
fine legal attainments of Hon. +. ID.
Walker proved too much for the COM
monwealth. Moore was acquitted, the
jury agreeing i'm short time. Mr..
Walkers argument before the jury was
pronounced 10y those who heard il to he
one of the ablest efforts of his life, which
is saying great deal. Moore was con-
victed on previous trial and sentenced
to nine years in the penitentiary. The
Judgment was appealed and reversed,
and now, thanks to the good manage
ment of the ease by his attorneys, Wal
kcr Il Hubbard, more than to any other
cause, he goes scot free.

We see from our exchanges that
there are several aspirsnts for Door
Keeper of the Lower House. We hope
those having a voice in the matter will
give due weight To the claims of our fell
low-citizen, Mr.. Frank Chinn. He can
discharge the duties of the Office as
faithfully as any of the candidates
He lives i'm part of the State that has
never been given any of the loaves and
fishes, and ii is now our time. Mr..
Chinn is poor man and the emolu-
ments of the office would he greatly ap-
preciated by him. He was i'm the con-
federate army through the whole war
and came out without money or health
and has had a hard tug TO live since
He claims no credit, nor do we refer to
his confederate record for the purpose of
claiming anything for him on that score.
We mentioned it To show the cause of
his bad health and needy condition.
Mr.. Chinn is worthy, qualified and
needy. Give him the place.

Destructive Fire iu LiyermOre.

On last Saturday morning about 10
O'Clock the livery stable of John Hudson
was found To be on fire. We did not
learn the name of the person occupying
the stable. From this il spread nearly
all over the little village, consuming
sixteen houses, among the numberd is
the southern Methodist church, Reid's
tobacco house, Hillsman's drug store,
Garey's Grocery There were five va
cant store houses burned. There was no
insurance on any Of the property con-
sumed so far n We can learn. We un-
derstand that Capt. Belt had a large lot
of tobacco in Reid's warehouse, and
that his losses are about five hundred
dollars. :. w. Rowan lost about five
hundred dollars damage TO goods, which
is covered by insurance. Capt. Belt es-
Inmates the loss at eighteen thousand
dollars. The fire is supposed to he the
work of an incendiary. On last
"Wednesday night an old store house adj
joining the livery stable was found TO be
on fire, which, 10y extra effort was extin-
guished, and il was thought to he the
work of an incendiary. This is quite a
blow to the little village and il will take
il long time TO recover. We are in
debted TO Mr. Sam T. Barnett, who was
on the grounds just after the fire for the
particulars given herein.
LATER.-The organ Of the Methodist
church at Livermore was also burned
which cost a considerable amount oi
money. The livery stable burned Wa
occupied by Mr.. Bridges. He also lost
his dwelling house, which belonged tC

BEAVER DAM, Ky, Sept. IS, 1879.
Editor Herald:
Seeing from last weeks HERALD that
am getting To be "A very noticeable per-
sonage, have concluded to write little.
"Henri" i'm his letter tries to make it
appear that 1 am very hard man to
get along with, and exaggerates to the
enormous extent, that in my school L
would not allow one pupil to speak to
another pupil of different sex, though of
the same parents. Every one about
Beaver Dam knew better, and "Henri'
too. Henri just wanted to publish a
wicked lie for wilful malicious purpose.
Every sensible man or woman who
,stfos@- sf,'t-t--ffc~e- ffi- -tss.s-
ment for a moment. That | would
make such requirements as that of my
pupils would be great reflection upon
the Board of Examiners who gave me
my certificate, and still greater stigma
upon the trustees of this district, who
were the majority in making these laws;
all of whom are gentlemen of the high
est sense of honor and right. After due
consultation with the trustees and mu-
tual agreement with them, l did make
this restriction, that no pupil will be
allowed TO escort or be escorted by an
other pupil or any one else, or have any
general conversation, such rs would
lead to a courtship, during the school
term. Nine becoming guilty, sus-
pended them, and believe the common
school law sutains me.
There being some young men attend
ing who are their own guardians, the
trustees thought it proper for their ben
eft, though the law does not require it,
TO call meeting of the patrons and
see what the general sentiment would
he. They did so and all, except one,
heartily endorsed my course, and rec
commended that the trustees and the
teacher attend to the matter themselves.
The trustees concluded that they would
allow them (the pupils) to control them
selves on Saturday and Sunday, but
that We would hold them to the strict
requirements of the law the remaining
time. Now, / submit to what they say
though am fully satisfied it is not best
"Henri" has been writing as much
about me as | want to hear unless he
can have better regard for truth. II
What he wrote was true il would not be
courteous, polite, nor manly in him to
have it published, nor would it do him
any good. In one of his former letters
he said in substance that was popular
only with two or three persons here
Henri" if you want to see who has
the most friends here, you or /, just
come along and We'll count most any
day. am quite willing to submit to
the verdict given by the people here as
regards our character and general de.
pertinent while we have been, and are
citizens of Beaver Dam. / sincerely
hope "Henri," that you will get out o.
the dirt, be a man, and so reform you
life that you will be respectable here
This is the sincere desire of one who
wishes you no harm, but longs for you
greatest prosperity.
