BELLAIRE.

II is with great deal of pleasure that
we announce that the Hon. Allen u.
Thurman will deliYer an address in the
interests of the Democracy on the after
noon of September Goth, on Public
Square. The mere announcement is a
sufficient guarantee that on the above
date Public Square will be packed to its
utmost capacity, and the people there
assembled will hear the issues OF the day
ably and eloquently discussed by this
great champion OF the Democracy.
Jacob burst, proprietor of the pOpu-
lar Union Street Restaurant, requests
us to state that he is receiving daily
choice brands of fresh oysters, which
will be served in first-class manner in
any imaginable style. The reputation
of bursts Oyster Bay" extends all
over Eastern Ohio, and visitors to the
city should not fail to call when they
are hungry and get a sample dish OF
these oysters as served in the superb
style OF this restaurant. Don't forget
the place, only few doors above Mayer
Il Klotz's, on Union street.
There will be a Republican mass
meeting on Public Square tonight.
Hon. A. L. Morrison and James Nolan,
Esq, will be the speakers.
A few days since travelling cigar
maker took board and lodging at the
American House in this city, and on
Monday he left, leaving his board bill
unpaid, but taking with him pair OF
brand new shoes belonging to Major
Baldwin, the clerk. The Major went to
Wheeling after the absent-minded gen
tleman, and has caused a sharp look. out
for him in this city, but up to this time
with no success.
Physicians report the health OF Bel
iaire at this time as very good.
The new car the Il. d ;. W. railroad
will probably'arrive here from Colunl-
bus this week.
In the whole history OF Bellaire, local
news was never known to be so fright
fully scarce as on yesterday. The ster.
eotyped expression of Nothing new
greeted us times without number, and
we gave up in despair.

NEW YORK CONVENTION.
Tammany's Proposed Bolt.

SYRACUSE, September.-lt is consid-
cred probable that Gov. Robinson and
the present State officers, will be re-
nominated, with the exception OF Lieu
tenant-Gove Dorsheimer, who de-
clines TO run.
New YORK, September 10, 2:S0 A. NJ
1t is reported here that the Tammany-
ties, under the lead of John Kelly, have
secured Weiting Hall, at Syracuse, and
will hold convention of their own to-
morrow, and that the friends OF Robin
son will hold separate convention in
another hall. Great excitement is re
ported in Syracuse, and serious trouble
is apprehended there tomorrow.
Trouble was initiated at the meeting
of the State Central Committee when
Chairman Purcell would not en-
tertain motion 10 appoint
a committee To distribute tickets of adj
mission to the hall, saying that such a
motion was reflection on his honor.
The motion was insisted on, when Pur-
cell declared the meeting of the COM
mittee adjourned. The Tammany mem
bers then Withdrew with Purcell, and the
remaining members then held meeting,
with Faulkner as chairman. Durir K ten
meeting OF the State Committee several
test votes showed eighteen Robinson
members and fifteen anti Robinson.
The excitement is intense as 10 the ac-
ton of Purcell. Ii is believed that no
vote OF the convention on nominations
can be reached before Thursday.

Correspondence Of the Register.
GAINESVILLE, September 9.
Night had fallen without, but adarker
night was waiting within for the watch
ing and anxious loved ones who so ten
derly cared for their darling, and longcd
for some ray of sunshine and hope to
penetrate their gloom. Yet death, with
It's relentless hand, entered in the still
hush of the quiet night, and bore from
them one whose presence had ever
been sunshine, and whose eternal good
bve must ever leave its dark shadow
over this once happy home. The death
of Miss Annie Tracy, which occurred
last Sunday night, caused feeling OF
general sadness and regret, that one 50
full OF hope and promise, just IN the
bloom Of her young life, should so early
be called away. Doubly sad seems the
thought, when, in few weeks, she had
expected to make home OF love and
sweet rest for another. Yet she is dead;
and while we would gladly offer some
word Of comfort, how weak seem mere
words 20 those anguished hearts, and
ONLY those who have drunk OF this Bit
ter, bitter cup, and hold the key to the
innermOst reCesses OF the heart, can
sneak consolation. Yet unto Him who
hath said, Cast thy burden upon me,
do we commend them.
Another home circle has also been
broken, and a loved and only son laid
in his quiet resting place. We refer TO
the death of George Fowler, son OF Mr..
James Fowler, which occurred last Fri
dav. This stricken family have the sym
pathv Of the entire community IN the
loss Of their noble son, whom they had
expected TO be the support OF their de-
clining wears, and whose fond hopes
are so utterly blighted. Yet they are
humble and true followers OF that one
who hath sent the blow and are assured,
ale doeth all things well.
Even Barnesville has felt the business
'boom," and everybody seems general
" revived, while our merchants give
the cheering report OF an increase OF
trade over last fall, and certainly We see
the dawn of better days. Ana while
many have had bitter experience during
the last few years OF general depression,
vet NAV they be able TO come forth rich
er by this hard struggle, and more en-
abled TO rise again purified as by tre.
The marriage OF Miss Emma Baker,
an employe OF the EnterPriSe, and Mr..
Shaw, of Newark, o., occurred last
Thursday evening, at the residence OF
Mr.. b. P. Reed, DIR. Baker ofhciatlng.

WASHINGTON.
The st. James Mission.

WASHINGTON, September 9.-There
seems to be disposition on the part Of
the Administration to appoint ex-Sena-
tor Fcnton, of New York, Minister to
England. lie is Chairman Of the Inter
national Silver Commission, having
been selected fOr the position by Secre-
taries Evarts and Sherman. When mis-
name was first sent o. the Senate for the
place he was rejected, the extreme hard
money Republicans and the sOft-money
Democrats opposing him. Ii was the
last night OF the session, and the
President Immediately sent IN new
name. but in the meantime Mr. COnk-
ling. who had been absent, came into
the senate Chamber, and by strong
appeal in favor Oi FeutOn had the rejec-
ton reconSidered. and the nomination
was subsequently confirmed. Fenton
Is a man Of wealth, aud it is understood
would like the English Mission. The
only difficulty i'm the way of his appoint
ment is that Secretary Evarts wants a
man who il not only a lawyer, but q
LAWYER Of high renOwn. Since Mr..
EAarts has been Secretary OF State, he
has. as far as il has been in his power,
made il a prerequisite that man to be
a Minister, q COnsul-General, or Con-
sui, whose powers, while not wholly jul
dicial or plenary, should be a lawyer.
An exception, OF course, was ma ie in
Minister Comly's case, but then he was
sex.

cent. bond subscription had seriously
impaired the credit of the bank. Sher-
man al once threw himselfin the breach.

WASHINGTON, September 9.-Repre-
sentative Joe Blackburn, who visited
Tlden in New York, reports that he is

The old gentleman tripped up the sue
cessive flights OF stairs with the greatest
ease, which Mr.. Blackburn says is cal
culated to impress the average country
member with the belief that he is phys
ically able TO start in the race the COM
ing year.
