many ot our people on the alert. & a rous-
ing Republican meeting was held last
evening at the town hail. The stars
and stripes festooned The platform, and as
a center piece wasa shield, oyerand 10 front
of the speakers desk. The house was fll-
ed with interested aud earnest citizens.
A. B. Luce was called unanimously to the
chair, and a number of vice presidents
were elected, including the county commits
sioners, who happened to be present. The
whole thing looked like business. The
speakers were Messrs. W. ]. Ford, and
Hon. Peter Hitchcock, of Geauga Co.
While Mr. Ford paid his respects TO the
Democracy as connected with the war, Mr.
Hitchcock gave US an alternating view of
Democratic and Republican legislation.
This was a theme that Mr.. Hiteheock's ia
miliar and extended information enabled
him to do justice to- As an evidence .of
Republican enthusiasm, this meeting was
a most gratifying success.
a large number of our citizens went to
jefferson to swell the thousands that gath
cred at the Hub to hear Blaine and Gar
field. Unfortunately Mr.. BIS health gave
out and he was not present. The disap-
pointment was very great, although Mr..
Garfield filed the bill, on his part, with
his accustomed ability. Many of the peo-
plewanted to see Blaine, as he had never
been in this county.
"H. G., we notice, still displays good
length Of pencil, although he seems to
have got over the t" Donkey" fever, how
ever much the swapping pulpits " may
disturb him. He said once that church
was being formed over in Pennsylvania,
that he thought of joining, from the fact
that they were to haTeff nothing to. dowith
politics or religion His intense desire
to be orthodox in the latter, would natu-
rally disallow anything in his corespon-
dence nearer religious news than milking
stools and such matters. He is too good a
Republican to be orthodox. in any such
sense in political matters, and would surely
fall from, grace. .4--- .t-E

AT Bob Ingersoll's 'liberal" conven-
tion at Cincinnati was Mrs. Lawrence,
who wishing to indulge little her femi-
nine curiosity for reasons, asked why it
was that the railroads would carry hogs
from Chicago to New York for 81 head,
while persons had topay $9Oa head? The
natural reply would be, that people de-
nand better accommodations than swine.
Mrs. Lawrence may have noticed, however,
that hogs sometimes make mistakes and
get into regular passenger cars, and then
the reason given is sustained, for he or she
have then to pay full passenger rates.

such business makes yOuI time your own.

Time and Manner of Threshing.

The following sensible remarks on
this subject are by correspondent
of the Country Gentleman, lead
ing farmer of Monroe county, n. Y:
Threshing is at best expensive
work, when doing itin the busy har-
vest season. Unless there is a large
farm, employing hands enough TO
do the threshing without extra help
it is sometimes almost impossible to
get men enough to keep the machine
running. Even if the farmer has
enough force of his own to be divert
ed from other work, threshing can
not be done without loss. Unless
there are special reasons for early
threshing, it is better to wait until
the hurrying of harvest IS fully past.
At this time, toe, the weather is
somewhat cooler, and the work can
be done with less danger to health.
The large sized threshing machine
will take in grain faster than the
men, who can get near enough to
work with advantage, can supply it.
The intense strain of nerve and mus
Gle for the man who feeds one of
these "man-kiilers," ought not to be
borne in such hot weather as we
have in July and early August. The
good point about the large sized
thresher is that when they get at
job they make short work of it; but
it is terribly exhaustive work, the
more so, as the steam horses never
tire. Still these large steam thresh-
ers are most economical, and, de-
spite danger from fires, are suppressed
ing horse powers, as these suppressed
ed the fail and the threshing floor
