An attempt was made on the night
Of the second to wreck a passenger train
on the l. a y. railroad hear Elizabeth
town. Some unknown fiends had
placed lot Of cross ties In IA cattle guard
on the road in such a way as to throw
the train from the track. The engi
necr saw the obstruction and reversed
the engine, put on the breaks and leapel
from the train. The engine. baggage and
express cans were thrown from the track
and ran some 300 yards on the ground
and turned over. Strange TO say no
one was seriously hurt but all hands
were well scared. Men who would do
such a thing should he hung to the first
tree.

OK last Sunday the Cincinnati police
raided the places Of amusement alld
arrested some fifty or more. IL Is said
that the attendance AT theaters and such
places has grown TO be greater than the
attendance at all the churches combined.
Last Sunday the streets were crowded
with a restless lhrong, who seemed to
lie al a loss what Ia do with themselves,
and the whisky saloons were crowded.
Ii seems To be a difficult problem, as the
saloons cannot fail to b. more demoral-
izing than the theatr,s.

Many persons when they re-

APRIL 9Th, 1879.
Dear Old O6Serrer-Yo on have
for a long time been carrying and
correcting the news of the coun-
try, for which we hold you in
high esteem and ask you for your
friendly aid in correctingthe ru-
mors about the bad conduct of
the boys or young men of Oak
Hill; please say to your readers
that the exaggeration oftheircon-
duct is doing them, their parents
and the whole village an injus-
tice. | am sorry to say we have
some bad boys here but j sup
pose that if every one would take
it to heart and look around a.
bout home, or locality, they
might find reason for sorrow that
| find. / have been living in
Oak Hill over two years and
have never seen one OF the bows
or young men drunk or drinking;
| have heard but one swear an
oath but once, | believe. / state
this to show their true character
Of refinement. / have been
preaching here for four years,
twice a month, and these bows
have formed a part of my con-
gregation and they are as res
pectful, as we'll behaved at
church as amy congregation /
ever preached to.
We have a lodge of Good
Templars numbering sixty-five
m good working order; regular
weekly prayer meeting, largely
attended and very best of order;
a Sabbath school that will COM
pare with any village in the land.
| feel iustifiable i'll stating just
here that we have some Of the
best young men | ever knew.
Our superintendent Of the Sab
bath school is a young man; we
have five young men who pray
in the prayer meeting and
conduct it when necessary.
Now, Mr.. OBSERVER, your read
!
ers are nearly all acquainted with
the Rev. Wm. Gill, he breaches
in our village one Sabbath in ev-
cry month, morning and evening;
he is a competent witness every
way, will you inform your read
ers that they may refer to him
rather than we should be held in
the light we are abroad.
We have an interest in COM
mon with all other localities;
we have a high school under the
supervision of Prof. Himebaugh,
who is running it well, has about
sixty-fye students, the Prof. and
citizens have sacrificed a great
deal in the interest Of education
and they have not lost their in
terest, are still laboring hard to
sustain the school, and such re-
ports as have grown out of small
things, is calculated to work
great injury to the school and is
detrimental to the morals of any
community. "Behold how great

Wfnchester's Woe.
Scandal Which Has
Been Developed There.

The little town of Winchester
is boiling over with a social scam
dial of moderate dimension which
involves two influential men Of
Decherd; one a reverend named
Smithson, the other a physician
named Sloan.
The Legislature having adj
journed and the State debt hay
ing been practically settled, the
tongues of the denizens of that
benighted neighborhood were in
imminent danger Of cleaving to
the roofs of their ass3sSsstsss3s for
sheer want Of use. The above
named gentlemen, seeing the
great peril of their fellow citi-
zens and having that commenda-
bic desire to do something by
which they should be remember
ed, stepped to the front with the
abovenamed social scandal which
is now in the mouths of every
one from the barefooted urchin
on the street to the gray-haired
grand-dame in her old armchair.

runs, that he could take his

it is reasonable to suppose, had
some business matters to arrange
before making his demise and
signed the libel, but with the
understanding that it was to stop
in the family of the preacher and
that the matter ended there. In
a published statement the doctor

Fayetteville, to vindicate him
before the bar of justice.
