The Ohio Democrats on Wednesday
nominated Thomas Ewing for Governor, and
Gen. A. V. Rice for Lieutenant Governor
The platform adopted demands free and fair
elections and denounces all interference with
elections by the military power 1t also de-
mands impartial juries, not packed and con-
trolled by the government for despotic and
partisan purposes. 1t also says:
"That we declare it as the sense of the De
mocracy of Ohio that not u dollar should be
appropriated by Congress to pay soldiers,
marshals, deputy marshals or supervisors of
election to interfere with or control elections.
"That the efforts of the Republican party
to open and keep alive the war feeling be
tween the North and South are to be con-
demncd by every lover Of his country"
The platform also re-atlrms the financial
principles heretofore advocated by the Dem
ocratic party of Ohio. The ticket is a strong
one, and has fair chance of success.

SEVERE HAIL STORM IN CECIL CoUNTY.-Thc
storm of Wednesday, May 2lst, was severe
throughout the strip of land between Principle
Creek and Northeast river, in Cecil county, as
well as in portion of Hartford county. Fences
were Frustrated, corn fields washed and large
fields of wheat cut to pieces on the farms of Mr.
Coudon, Mrs. j. P. Silver, Mr.. Washington
Barnes and the heirs of the late Mr.. Simcoe.-
Upon the farm Of the latter an entire field of
wheat was so much injured that it was found
necessary to pillow it up and plant the ground in
corn. Hailstones as large as walnuts fell and
the quantity was so great that it still lay on the
ground three days afterwards on Mrs Silyer's
Poplar Point farm. Peach and cherry trees were
stripped of their fruit, and the force of the hail
was so great as to cut some of the peaches in
half, leaving portion of the fruit clinging to
the stem. The storm seemed to be concentrated
in its greatest severity between the streams
named, and on the four farms mentioned the loss
has been considerable

AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS are the best of all
purgatives for family use. They are the product
of long laborous, and successful chemical inves-
tgation, and their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized nations proves
them the best and most effectual purgative Pill
that medical science can devise. Being purely
vegetable no harm can arise from their use. In
intrinsic value and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them, and every person,
knowing their virtues, will employ them, when
needed They keep the system in perfect order,
and maintain in healthy action the whole machn-
cry of life. Mild, searching and efectua they are
specially adapted TO the needs of the digestive APP
paratus, arrangements of which they prevent and
cure If timely taken. They are the best and SAT-
est physic to employ for children and weakened
constitutions, where mild, but effectua carthar-
tic is required.

Break and Remove the Bald Heads.

SMooTHvILLE, June I'd, 1879
Mr.. EDITOR; What mean by "bald heads, -
are stone or rocks in the public roads projecting
from two to twelve inches, worn round by coming
in contact with wheels of various kinds. am
sure you will find them, however carefully you
drive. Now | conceive il to be the first and most
important duty of supervisor, when working
the road, to break and remove the "bald heads. "
My attention was especially called to the import
ancc ofthis, few days ago, in passing over road
recently acorked, not n,en1ed, where think from
fifteen to twenty dollars had been expended. /
am sure good man with ten pound siedge and a
pick in a single day could have done more good.
| think supervisor who will work around and
leave "bald head" in his road is not fit for the
place, and if not fit for that what is he fit for?

for u long while, and most people had forgotten
all about the experiment, when two years ago two
or three stray shad the first that had been known
thirty and forty were found, and this spring they
have been caught in immense quantities up In Ar
kansas, in the vicinity of Hot Springs. This shows
that there is reason why the fish should not be

In that region to stock them with young shad.

abuses have crept into the church and are being

pugnant to the principles of true religion and il
being my duty as wellasmy desire to correct them,
would respectfully ask all the lovers of morality
and religion to assist in the correction of one Of
them, ut least have been unable to commence
my service earlier than nine and in some instances
at later hour, for want of congregation; and
when have asked the reason of such late attend
ance, have been told that "our employers will
not permit us to leave for church until our work
is DONE Hence the meetings have been prolonged
to an hour that is both unreasonable as well rs
highly improper. There are two nights in the week
that we have meetings that are under our control,
viz, Tuesday and Friday nights and we desire to
close them at the hour Of 10 o'clock. at the latest
We regret that we cannot control all the meetings
held in the church, but we cannot because the
ground is leased, and the building upon it is for
school and church purposes, and consequently not
dedicated to the exclusive worship of God.
