WE are in receipt OF letter from
some very reliable citizens who live
in Portland district near Rowles
burg, to the effect that the judges Of
election at Rowlesburg refused to
allow them TO vote for county off =
GERS, ostensibiy because they did not
live in Reno disttiot, really because
1t was known they would vote for
Mr.. Wiley.
II this be true, and we have no
reason TO doubt it, it is certainly a
very grave charge. Surely no Judge
OF an election could be 80 ignorant az
to suppose they had not a right Ia
vote at any place in the county for
cou lty officers.

THERE is in Cincinnati National
Association for the promotion of
Marriage. Its constitution says eve
have viewed with alarm and the
deepest concern the rspidly-growihg
tendency OF the people Of the coun-
try particularly those living in the
larger cities) to remain unmarried =
a condition unnatural and prejudi-
cial to the welfare, success, and hap
piness of the country therefore, to
correct this evil, we do establish and
organize a society," The aim of the
society Is declared to be, ''In all hon {
orable ways. to promote the mar.
rage Of citizens; and TO 1ecure such
an end this society will, so far as in
ito power, assist and give material
aid to young couples in beginning
married lie, such as helping them to
secure homes and the husband in
getting employment. or in any other
manner w.Ihin the province Of the
association" The society has not
been long enough in existence to af-
fort the means Of Judging o. Sits prac-
teal value. 1t held picnic on Sun
day last, at which the attraction was
the marriage of three couples; but it
was not claimed that the mating had
been brought about in any unusual
way. SIX thousand persons paid 2E
cents each for admission, and there
was a great deal Of dancing and beer
drinking. The marriage ceremony
was performed on a high platform
80 that all could see. The bride
grooms were an engraver, a painter
and a peddler, and the newspaper
reporters gallartly describe all the
brides az beautiful.

Death of an Old Resident.

Mr.. Samuel Jewett died at his resi-
dence in this place last Saturday morn
ing, August 9, at the age of 60 years.
Mr.. Jewett was the youngest son of DIR.
Luther Jewett, the physician, clergy
man and member of Congress, who was
one of the leading men of our town in
its early days. Most of Mr.. Jewett's
life was spent in the town Of his birth,
and in the mercantile business, though
for few years past he has relinquished
nearly all business. Mr.. Jewett was a
man of many sterling qualities, very
firm in his convictions, and very out
spoken in his opinions, but uniformly
sound and true in all religious, political
and social matters. 1t is perhaps
worthy of note that at the time of his
death he was deacon in the South
church, which edifice stands very near
ly upon the site of the house where he
was born. Mr.. Jewett's illnses was long
and painful, but borne with Christian
resignation. A post-mortem examina-
ton revealed extensive liberation OF
the stomach in the Immediate region
of the lower orifice which was finally
completely closed. He leaves wife
and three children, and two sisters liv-
ing West.

the engineering in its own hands, and
Mr.. j. r. Rust, the chief engineer of

obstacle in some satisfactory manner.
The result of Mr.. Rust's operations are
not known to us, but we understand no
definite plan is yet settled upon. Mean
while carpenters have been at work
upon this bridge for several weeks, and
it is believed to be in better condition
than for several years at least.
