JACOBSBURGH.

Mr.. EDITOR-Being a constant reader
of your valuable paper, and through its
columns each week receiving all the ne
cessary information from our neighbor-
ing towns, feel that "a fair exchange
is no robbery therefore beg permission
to pen few items, that may be of in
terest to the many readers of our excel
lent home paper.
On last Friday another heavy rain
forgot to pass over as many others had
done;" but as we stood in great need of
rain, we did not murmur. The oats and
corn have suffered from the drOught,bu
the wheat crop is very good, and yield
large.
Last Saturday a picnic was held at
Grandview Grove, on the B. u 5. w.
Railroad, one mile east of this place,
under the auspices of Co. d, I'd Reg't D.
n. G., but owing to the lnclemency OF
the weather but few were present. They
purpose having another in two weeks,
when further pains will be taken to
make it pleasant to all.
The B. & S. w. Railroad, under the
supervision of Mr.. j. V. Hart, is in a
very flourishing condition. This week
they will lay track from Armstrong;
Mills, some two or three miles distant.
Quite a number of men are employed.
That grim monster, death, that goes
from home to home, has found its way
into our midst, and snatched from 1t the
brightest and sweetest flower. The ten
der little bud thus plucked, we regret to
pen, was the son of l.. B. and l.. E. E.
McMannis, of Wheeling, w. Va, who
came here to spend the summer, with a
hope of recovering the health of Mr.. Nc,
and whom we shall name Earle Glover
McMannis, aged years, month and 5
DAYS, died of cholera infantum, on Sat
urday, July 18th, and was inferred on
the 18th, in the Bethel Cemetery. He
was not only dearly loved by his pa
rents-''but none knew him but to love
him." He was certainly a very bright
and interesting little boy. The funeral
ceremonies were conducted by Rev. DR..
Wallace. A large concourse of friends
followed his remains to their last rest
ing place. The little pall-bearers were
Willie White, Willie Trigg, Willie
Smith, and Robbie Douglass. The words
appropriated for his parting were:
$50 blows the lovely fading flower,
Frail smiling solace of an hour,
So soon our transient comforts fly,
And pleasure only blooms to die"
ANXIOUS.

A MAN who can't manage his own bu-
siness, hardly ever succeeds in managing
other peoples successfully. The Ur-
bana Gazette, with this statement as a
basis, makes a clean cut in the flesh of
Tom Ewing, by the following "home
thrust"
Charles Foster is one of the best busi-
ness men In the State of Ohio. He is
not reckless or careless of his business,
and never was a bankrupt. What the
people of Ohio want is, not to find a
place where a bankrupt wild-eyed fiat
inflationist may retrieve some of his
lost fortune by a salary from the public
crib, but a clear-headed, honest, solid bu-
sinesS man who has shown by successes
in private life that he is capable of ad-
ministering public affairs.

Gen. Ewing's Opening Speech.
New York Hera


Gen. Ewing on Thursday opened the
Democratic campaign in Ohio with a
speech to his neighbors at home. He
seems to be under the impression that
the majority of the Ohio voters are in
debt, for the greater part of his speech
was devoted to an effort to show them
that if they would only Initiate the cur
rency enough they could very cheaply
pay off their debts. There is something
ludicrous in the Generals straightfor-
ward plea for policy of imitation on the
ground that it would enable debtors to
make an easier settlement with their
creditors. His speech makes one the of
strongest possible demonstrations of the
extreme mischievousness of issues of
paper money by the government, be-
cause his argument would apply at all
times, and if his policy should prevail,
the debtors of the country would lobby
Congress at every session for new in
flation. The main body of his speech,
which is devoted to finance, is not only
wrong but weak, and will be riddled by
Garfield, Schurz and other Republican
speakers in Ohio.

MARTINS FERRY.

The Camp Meeting drags its slow
length along.
Rev. G. c. Wilding, of Wheeling, and
Rev. S. Y. Kennedy, have arranged an
exchange of pulpits for next Sunday.
On Saturday of last week Robert
Cochran and Clark Moore mutually
agreed to publicly test which was the
better man, but Sam. Cochran, police
man, interfered with their belligerent
rights by pulling them before Mayor
Eagleson, who held them to appear on
Monday morning to answer to the
charge of assault and battery. But
when Monday morning came the parties
of the first part failed to appear. But
it will be useless in them to attempt to
dodge the close embrace of the law, for
Sam. will 'go for them" again.
Fred. Romal was also taken before Esq.
Eagleson on Saturday, on Il charge of
assault and battery, and on his promise
to come in on Monday morning and an
swer, he was allowed to depart. True
to his promise he appeared at the time
named, plead guilty, paid his fine like a
man and went his way in peace.

DOES any one suppose if the bonds of
the United States could be taxed that
the General Government would have
any credit? Suppose the four per cent.
bonds could be subjected to our State,
county and municipal tax-three per
cent.-that would leave one per cent. in
come. Then suppose the Government
taxed its own bonds one per cent.-there
would be no income at all. OF course
not bond could be sold if it could be
taxed. In other words, the people of
the United States, through their Govern
ment, couldn't borrow a dollar. The
credit of the country wiped out, its
ability to protect itself would vanish. If
bonds could be taxed two per cent.-if
there was a limitation to that effective
would have to pay six per cent. interest
instead of four and land just where we
are Gin. Com. ,5aF - l.

THE Tribune says that the whole
Democratic press is engaged at present
in pitching into" Secretary Sherman.
AS Presidential aspirant, this is the
best thing that could happen to him,
Resumption, coupled with Democratic
abuse, will make him very formidable
candidate, for both will endear him to
the Republican party.

THE people are in bad fix indeed, if,
as Gen. Ewing assures them, it is the
purpose of the Republicans to subvert
popular government. He was not of
that opinion twenty years ago, while six
years ago he declared the Democratic
party unfit to reform existing abuses.
There,,i is an impression generally pre-
vailing that the chief contribution of
the Republican party since its organiza-

Tom EWING has gone into the proph-
ecy business again, Notwithstanding that
Mr.. Sherman placed him in such RI
diculous light by quoting from the

REPUBLICAN State Conventions w

REPUBLICAN State Conventions were
held Wednesday of last week in Penn
sylvania and Wisconsin. In the latter
State full ticket was placed in nomi-
nation with Gov. Smith, the present in
cumbent, at its head. In Pennsylvania
State Treasurer was nominated. The
essence of both platforms is that the
United States is nation, and not con-
federacy of States, and that resumption
is success and should be let alone. On
those issues both States are likely to be
reliably Republican for some time to
come

CoNGREssMAN REED summed mn Il

CONGRESSMAN REED summed up the
Democratic plan of action pretty well
in a brief speech at Portland, at the
close of Mr.. Sherman's address. The
Democrats, he said, are as usual set
Ting in the nest the Republicans have
got through using. They disapproved
the war while it was going on. and ap-
proved it when it was finished. They
condemned the greenback while it was
at a discount, and now seek to send it
back to its bad estate. They opposed
the borrowing of money by the Govern
ment to issue notes in time of peace
when its receipts exceed expenditures.

Wool PrOSDeces,

The Wool Growers Bulletin, of Steu-
benville, says that the impression pre-
walls that all the present wool clips will
be needed before the clip of 1880 comes
into the market. This should at least
keep the market strong, and prices up to
about 4Oc for Xxx wool, the rate at which
it is understood wool can be imported,
that enters into competition with our
fine woods.
There are two things which may
weaken the market. If manufacturers
cannot dispose of their goods at satisfac-
tory prices they will be very penurious
about laying in stock. This, with a
market constantly supplied with wool
thrown on it by weakened holders,
who get scared, or have notes in bank TO
meet We should remember this latter
to always be an element in the market
every season, but it is likely to be inten-
sified, as it were, the present season, not
from lack of money, but from the ter
rible experiences of the past two years.
So that nearly all would seem to de-
pend upon the ability of manufacturers
to sell their goods at satisfactory prices.
On Saturday Western Pennsylvania
was visited by heavy rain storm, and
the damage to property was great. Bear
Greek, which runs through the town of
Petrolia was very high. A number of
buildings were carried away or damaged,
entailing a loss of about 100000. The
damage at Harms City is estimated at
$4,000, and between that place and
Parker crops suffered severely. A Wam-
pun dispatch reports much damage
along the Erie and Pittsburgh road.
Mingo Valley was flooded. Two miles
of the Pittsburgh Southern Railroad was
badly damaged. An Irwin dispatch
says the Sewickly railroad will require
weeks of repairs before it is again put in
running order. An Alliance (O.) dis
patch says it was one of the heaviest
rain storms ever known on the line of
the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago
Railway. 1t was of about two hours
duration, commencing about 10 A. NJ. It's
greatest fury was between COlumbiana
and Rochester. Three railroad bridges
were washed out, but the firm stone bal
last of the road protected the track so
that trains were delayed but few
hours. During heavy storm Saturday
evening dwellings and barns in the
part of Philadelphia were
and houses flooded.
