A Pen Worth Recommending.

We have been favored with samples
of the celebrated Spencerian Double
Elastic Steel Pens, and after trying them
feel Justified in highly commencing
them to our readers. They are made of
the best steel, and by the most expert
workmen in Europe, and have nation
al reputation for certain desirable quail
ties which no other pens seem to have
attained in so great perfection, among
which are uniform evenness of point,
durability, fexibility, and quill action.
1t is thus quite natural that the Spen-
cerian should be preferred and used by
professional penmen, in business colleges,
counting-rooms, government offices, pub
schools, and largely throughout the coun-
try. Indeed, so popular have they be-
come, that of the Number One" alone,
as many as eight millions are sold annu-
ally.
The Spencerian Pens may be had, as a
rule, from any dealer; but when not thus
obtainable, the progrietors, Messrs.
Ivison, Brakeman, Taylor s. Co., the we'll
known publishers, 13S & 40 Grand
Street, New York, will send for trial,
samples of each of the twenty numbers
on receipt of twenty-five cents.

Ferry, and a select band of singers. The
large schoOl-house which had been taste
fully decorated for the occasion, was
crowded with people, and then good sing
ing and fun was the order of the hour.
1t is useless for me to eulogiZe the sing
ing or tell your readers that Martins
Ferry has some of the best singers that
can be found.
The voting of a necklace to the most
popular young lady took place during
the concert. After an active contest,
the prize was awarded to Miss Annie
Stilwell, of Pleasant Grove. This was a
well deserved compliment. A cane was
also voted to the ugliest man. j. C..
Gray, Martins Ferry, and Lafayette
OXley, of PleaSan Grove, were the prin-
cipal contestants, and after fierce con-
test Mr.. OXley was declared the lucky
man. The Rev. Kennedy, of Martins
Ferry, made the presentation speech.
He laid aside his title and assumed the
role of the humOrist and delivered one
of the most side-splitting, mirth-provOk-
ing speeches that was ever listened to.
At late hour the people returned, well
pleased with the days work.

deserve great credit for their successful

BELLAIRE.

The 4th in Bellaire was first gay with
banners and music, next gloomy on ac-
count of One-half to three-fourths of our
people being out of town to the various
pic-nics and other places of resort, while
late at night the festive youths indulged
in patriotic songs and cheers-nO doubt
the result mainly of free imbibitiOns of
lager Neve .theless the day passed
away pleas: lily and without accident.
Everybody came home happy but tired.
Last evening two children of Jas. Con-
ner, aged and 6 years, were suddenly
taken sick, and the physician summoned
at once, pronounced it the result of poi
sOn-at first it was thought to be gymp-
son weed, but after an emetic had been
administered, the contents of the stOm-
ach revealed the fact that Bologna sau-
sage was the cause of all the trouble.
As yet no analysis of the saugage has
been made, so the exact cause is not
known. The children both recovered,
but the life of the youngest was despair
ed of for a number of hours.
The Goblet Works have shut down for
their usual summer vacation. The Win
dow Glass and National will soon fol-

Cow, of the Leader, is again Deputy
Oil Inspector. No fuss this time.
The river is hardly worth talking
about-no boats running except such as
can run on a heavy dew.
A prominent National remarked to us
the other night, The old 5th ward will
give a Republican majority this fall, and
farther said majority of the Green
hackers had bitterly repented of the
error of their last years ways. land would
this year go back to their first loye-the
staunch old Republican party.
The female strikers at Baron's Manu-
featuring Works, got the mitten. They
struck and so did the COmpany-that is,
the Company struck them off their list
of workers.
The Germans of Bellaire are whoop-
ing for Foster and honest money.

Some malicious devils turned main
plug in South Bellaire Sunday night, and
drained the reservoir completely. The
beer men drove heavy trade Monday
morning until the basin was full.

The FourlI, at CoIerain.

The great event of the past week was
the celebration at Pleasant Grove of the
1OSrd anniversary of our nations birth.
At an early hour active preparation be-
gan, and by 10 o'clock the Mt. Pleasant
brass band made their appearance and
gave us some of the best music that it
has ever been our lot to listen to. Allow
us to commend them as good musicians
and for their genteel department. Din
ner was soon called, which was one of
the most abundant that we ever looked
upon. After dinner the crowd assembled
at the stand where prayer was offered
by Rev. Mercer, which was followed by
speeches made by Rev. Woodward, He
berling, Brown and James Cope, Esq. 1t
is useless to attempt report of these
speeches. They were such as the speak
ers need not be ashamed of. The great
event Of the occasion was the concert in

On Saturday Mrs. Hutchinson,
widow lady residing in Louisville, re-
ceived dispatch from Sergeant Alfred
Powell announcing the death of her son
Cooper Hutchinson, at Fort Lincoln,
Dakota Territory, on Thursday, from
Mountain Fever. Deceased was bright
young man, about 10 years of age and
had gone thither in the vigor of his
manhood in the Spring and accepted a
position in a store at that point. He
was universally respected by those who
knew him, and the announcement of his
sudden death cast a gloom over the
neighborhood of Louisville. His father
John Hutchinson was a victim, during
the war, of the cruelties and barbarities
of Libby Prison, and was released after
he was starved, just in time to reach
home to die. The bereaved widow, upon
whom the hand of affection has rested
so heavily, has the warm sympathy of
the entire community in which she
resides.

The Fourth at Morristown,

The day dawned bright and fair, with
gentle breeze which at times increased
to a gale sufficient to cause the dust to
rise, much to the ill-comfort of many
AT an early hour the young boys were
out in their Sunday suits, evincing the
usual impatience of Young America
Soon vehicles of every sort came from
the country, bringing some very beauti-
full faces and some not so pretty, but all
bearing the look of joyous expectancy.
A procession was formed in the fol-
lowing order: /, The Band; 2, The Beth
esda Lodge of Sons and Daughters of
Temperance; 8, The MOrristOwn Fire
Company; 4, The Morristown Sunday
Schools. These marched under the con-
troll of Mr.. R. S. Clark, to a grove on the
farm of Mr.. John Lynn.
At the grove the exercises of the day
were opened with music by the Band,
and prayer by Rev. Starkey. The Decla-
ration of Independence was read by
Miss Jessie Harris. Miss Harris is a
very good reader, but it was feared by
some that on account of the wind her
voice would not be equal to the occa-
audience that these fears were ground
less.
Rev. Fitzgerald was next introduced,
and spoke at length on the day and
the history Of the country, that
make the day sacred to every American
citizen. He thought that the heart was
cold to all patriotic feeling that could
not swell with joyous emotion upon this
day, and that it was but a duty to leave
business and celebrate the Nations birth.
The audience adjourned at the close of
this speech, and soon were seen groups
of men, women and children partaking
of most delicious food.
About P. NJ. the audience re-assem-
bled at the sound of music, to hear an
address from w. G. Todd. Mr.. Todd
called attention to the fact that our
forefathers had gigantic work, but
that they met that work like giants. 1t
is also matter of thankfulness that not
a star of our cOuntry's flag is lost. Re-
ferring to the work of temperance and
Sunday Schools, he said there was very
much to encourage the workers.
This was all the speaking the commit
tee had arranged for. The audience,
hOWONOA, Wdo llOG ottloutu, duU CLINTON
Miner was called for, and responded in
telling speech npOn Human Equality.
No other nation had such holiday as has
the United States in the Fourth of July.
Nowhere else is the principle of human
equality so celebrated. When this Ma
tiOn says man is free, let him be free.
There is no call for the exodus of the
South. The negro is citizen, and should
be allowed citizens rights. With all
that men may fear from Romanism or
IngersOlism, our prospects for the fu-
ture are better than the chimeras of the
past.
Mr.. r. S. Clark followed in very neat
speech, after which Prof. Vanhorn and
others gave treat in the way of vocal
music.
Then came vote of thanks to Mr..
John Lynn for the use of his grove, and
also to the Morristown Band for excel
lent music, after which the 'Filibusters'
appeared, much to their own delight,
but as much to the fright of many of
the children. All in all it was an en-
joyable day. Business was suspended,
and everybody had holiday.

JAMES N. CARSON the Cambridge
speculator who cut such broad swath
year or SO ago, was found guilty Of
procuring the Treasurer of Guernsey
county John d. Patterson to embezzle
the public funds, by Muskingum coun-
ty jury at GAINESVILLE ON Thursday, and
was committed to Jail to await the SEN
tence of the Court. The case had been
tried once in the Guernsey Court and the
jury failed to agree. Owing to the pub
lie feeling against the defendant his
counsel made application for change of
venue which was allowed. The change
does not seem to have improved the posi-
