tee. Mr.. Conger, of Michigan, raised the
point of order that no bill on the subject had
been referred to the committee, and that
therefore the committee had no right to make
report. The House, in committee of the
whole, resumed the consideration of the legis-
lative appropriation bill. After discussion,
the amendment to repeal, after March, 1880,
the acts creating the Southern Claims Com
mission, and to transfer to the Court of
Claims all cases then pending before the com.
mission, was rejected. The committee dis
posed of all the bill except the portions spe-
cially reserved for general discussion, being
the provisions in respect to the mode of se-
lecting grand and petit jurors, repeating the
Jurors test oath, and also in respect to Super
visors of elections and Deputy Marshals.
The debate commenced. Mr.. Lewis, of Ala
bama, made legal argument against the
election laws, and denied that the "South was
solid" for any illegal or unconstitutional pur-
pose, or out of antagonism TO the North.
Sam. Ford, of Alabama, also argued upon
the necessity and justice OF repeating the Ju-
rors test oath and modifying the Supervisors
of elections.
In the Senate on the 18th, at the expiration
of the morning hour, the army appropriation
was taken up, Mr.. Morgan, of Alabama, be-
ing entitled to the floor. Mr.. Morgan said
that hereafter he intended to speak in vindi-
cation of the attitude of Southern members
of Congress which had been the object OF
much unjust aspersion. The South was not
responsible for the existence of the question
now agitating the public. He had consider
ed it best at present to yield to his friend
from Indiana, (Mr. Voorhees.) Mr.. Voor'
hees called attention to what he feared was
not generally realized, namely, that Federal
interference extended not only to Congress-
ional, but to all State and local elections.
American citizens, by thus having overseers
put over them, were reduced to the condition
of slaves. Mr.. VOORHEES, detailed the system
of election laws and pointed out the rrovis-
ions therein as dangerous to free ballot.
Usurpers always take advantage of such laws.
Already our people have seen them used to
defeat the popular will. Cesar sent ennis

For THE PIONEER ASSOCIATION
The Executive Committee of the PiO-
neer Association have purchased 24l2
pieces of crockery ware, including cups,
saucers. plates, pitchers, &C., from
Goodwin Bros, of East Liverpool, O..
and GAS forks, 64S knives, GAS small
spoons and IA large spoons, from w.
a. Bingham, of Cleveland, for the use
of the Pioneer Association at its annual
meetings. The hardware has already
arrived and the crockery will be ship
ped early in August. Each piece of
crockery will be plainly marked with
the name of the Association burned in
the ware. AS these articles are the
property of the Association and pur-
chased for its express use, it will not
be necessary for members to bring
dishes to supply the table. This will
avoid the confusion and trouble in re-
covering dishes which attended former
meetings.
The next annual meeting of the
Association will be held on Thursday,
September 4. Rev. VIM. f. Day, d.

Portage County Teachers Insti-
into


A Teachers Inst: tute will be held in the
Union School building at Ravonna. beginning
Monday, August 4. 1879. and continuing two
weeks.
The services of the following instructors and
lecturers have been secured: Regular Instruct
ors, Prof. NJ G. Andrews, Marietta College.
Marietta. o., Prof A. H. Tuttle, Ohio Universi-
ty. Columbus. and U. T. Curran, Supt. Public
Schools. Sandusky, o. These gentlemen, though
strangers to many of the teachers in this county
are instructors and institute workers of expert
ence and ability. and come to us highly recon-
mended. Evening lectures will be delivered on
literary. scientific and pcdagOgic subjects by
the instructors. Pres. u. A. HiLsdale. Hiram
College. DIR. w. G. Williams, Delaware. o., and
others. The success OF this institute ast its
consequent value to the educational interests of
our county, rest mainly with the teachers. The
history Of former institutes in this county is not
very satisfactory or encouraging. The record
showing an attendance of only about twenty
Ave per cent. Of those who apply for certificates.
and what is most surprising and most to be re-
gretted Is that of the scventy-fve per cent. who
stay away. the young and inexperienced con-
stitutc by FAR the larger part. Teachers. these
things ought not SO to be. These institutes are
the only agencies afforded by the county for our
instruction and preparation in the great work
Of teschiDg; it Is therefore, imperative that we
make the best use Of them possible. This we
can do only by attending and taking an active
part in their proceedings.
Information in regard to board and accommo-
datlons can be had ON the first day Of the insti-
tute BY calling ON the Committee at the Super
inteudant's Office In the school building. Pro-

Mr.. Wm. S. Elson, of New York,
last week purchased the interest of the
late Zenas X Smith, deceased, in the
popular mercantile house Of Smith
Brothers, and the business will in the
future by conducted under the firm
name of Smith s. Eson. Mr.. Elson is
well known to the people of this vi
cinity, having been for long time a
clerk in the dry goods house Of Mr..
john Z. Beatty. Hehas been engaged
for several years past as clerk in
New York and is at present. in the
efnpsoy2of Bates, Reed s. Cooley, one
OF the most extensive wholesale dry
goods houses in that great metropolis.
He will continue in his present employ
and look after the interests of the new
firm at that end of the line. The house
of Smith Brothers has been justly re-
garded as one of the leading mercan.
tile establishments in Northern Ohio,
and we feel confident that, under the
new arrangement it will lose nothing
of its wellearned reputation for fair
and honorable dealing. We wish tt em

EDINnuR0H,

| S~'' ''soEo'eUSfeco.
Since June, 1885, we have not beer
visited by such q tornado as was thai
of last Thursday afternoon. For some
time a very threatening cloud lay
north of us, and at length it began tc
gather up west and south, until we
were under SO thick and black cloud
that it was evident something unusual
would come upon us. Soon the vivid
lightning began to fall around us, fol.
lowed by deafening peals of thunder.
About 6 o'clock p. m., like an ava
lanche, the wind and rain came upon
up. The rain came In torrents, and
the wind commenced it's fearful work
Of destruction. Apple trees began to
fall, tim ber in the woods was broken
down or twisted off, some farmers sus-
tanning heavy loss, and, last but least,
the roofs OF buildings began to give
way before the wind. Two-thirds of
the roof of the barn on the south side,
owned by G. P. B. Merwin, one mile
west Of the Center, was blown off, also
the roof and part of the siding from
the gable ends of Mr.. Clark's barn, on
the north side. The wind, going south
east, left the buildings until it came to
the mile and a quarter and Center
roads. The entire roof was taken off
young Mr.. HOLSTERS barn. Mr.. Will
sey's barn, few rods farther, was the
next to suffer, the roof being badly
torn up; part of the roof of his cow
shed was taken off. The wind bursted
his barn doors open and blowed a
wagon load of hay out of the barn and
it. We have no report far
ther along the track, but fear other
buildings have suffered by this storm.
Mr.. Merwin is, perhaps, the greatest
sufferer by wind and water of any one
in the township. He had between 40
and SO large apple trees blown down,
fences aud wheat in the shock scatter
ed over the field, his hay in the barn
to the rain. the water running
through and dropping out at the bot
tom of the NOW. This was caused by
two or more heavy thunder showers
night and Friday.
