The seventh Cincinnati Exposition will
be opened to the public on September 10,
with appropriate ceremonies, and will in
Vite patronage for one month. In point
of attractiveness the display will be Sec
ond to none ever held in America. In
the extent and variety of exhibits it will
be second only to the Worlds Exposition,
at Philadelphia, in 1876. The Exposition
building was erected expressly for the
purpose, and its cost of over one million
dollars fairly represents the liberal ideas
of those promoting the enterprise, and is
guarantee that the Exposition will be
successful beyond precedent. On Sep
tember 10 the Ohio National Guards, the
merchants and all societies of Cincinnati
will participate in the grand procession.
The city will be gaily and profusely
decorated. Special programmes, of an
unusually interesting character, have
been arranged at the famous hilltop re-
sorts and at the Geological Garden.
1t is evident that the stranger visiting
Cincinnati on September 10th will cheer
fully recognize the justice of the claim
that, so far as attractions are concerned
the 'sParis of America is no unsuitable
appellation for the Queen City of the
West.

RuffIanly Act.

On Tuesday afternoon, as Miss Sina
Logan was returning from Buena Vista
in buggy, in company with Miss Jennie
Bereman, they met two wagons loaded
with brick. Miss Logan drove out as far
to the side of the road as possible with
ont running into the ditch, and stopped,
to give the teams plenty of room to pass.
The driver of the first team turned out a
little and passed her, but the driver of
the second team, instead of turning out,
purpesely ran his wagon against Miss
LOgan's buggy, throwing the young ladies
out and breaking the buggy. The fellow
looked around and saw what he had done,
and then drove on. The ladies were
obliged to wait on the road until assist
ance came. Mr.. Merchant, returning
home from town, found them with their
buggy broken, and took them in his
wagon and brought them home. Fortu-
nately, neither of the young ladies was
much injured being thrown out OF
their buggy. We have not the name OF
the cowardly ruffian who committed this
outrageous imposition upon a couple Of
defenseless young ladies, but he will be
hunted up and given the punishment he
| deserves.

An Epidemic Among the Horses.
On Sunday morning last Mr.. Edward
Taylor, living two miles from town on
the Circleville pike, on going to feed his
horses, found one horse and a mule sick,
both down and unable to get up or move
anything but their feet. DIR. Skinner,

meningitis, and told Mr.. Taylor he could
do nothing for the horses. The mule
died Sunday morning, and the horse Sun
day evening. Another horse was taken
sick Sunday evening, and died Monday
noon. Two more horses were attacked
with the disease Tuesday, and yesterday
morning, our latest information, one of
these was expected to die; the other how
ever, was some better, but there was not
much hope OF its living.
DR.. Knott was passing::Mr. Taylor's
place on Sunday, and stopped to see the
horses. He pronounced the case con-
gestiOn of the lungs and spinal cord
Drs. Skinner ami Knott made a post
mOrtem examination of the two animals
that died on Sunday, and found the lungs
very badly cOngested and in a state OF
decomposition; the liver badly congested
kidneys in healthy condition. The spinal
cord was very badly cOngested and in q
state of decomposition, The brain was
congested, but not as badly as the spinal
cord and lungs. The stomach and bowels
were in healthy condition. The dis.
ease is one of congestion, and seem fa-
tai.

cases on Jos. Briggs farm. There are
no other cases reported in the county,
