the contrary said the deacon. "Neow
you git eout of my house; go away
to the station and clear out to Boston,
want nothing more to do with
you"
But, deacon, hear me-"
don't want to hear you, sarpint,"
cried the deacon, stopping his ears with
his hands; 'you marryin' two wives,
and comm a courtin' q third Go long;
clear out.'
Even Mrs. Peabody, who was inclined
to put in word for the culprit, was
silenced. Susan turned from him in
despair; he fled to the railroad depot
hotly pursued by the clamorous French
woman.
The afternoon, as Miss Susan Peabody
was walking towards the village, she
was overtaken by Mr.. Jonathan Dob
kins, dressed in his best, and driving a
fast going horse before his Sunday-go-to-
meeting gig. He reined up and thus
accosted her.
Hello, Suke; get in and take little
ride.
Don't keer if 1 do, Jonathan" re-
piled the young lady, accepting the
proffered seat.
"I say, you,' said Jonathan, grin
ming, "that ere city feller's turned out
poorly, amt he Y''

Susan.

warn't any account, no how. What do
the old folks think of itp"
"They hain't said word since he
cleared out.'
Forgot the night L carried you home
from singing school ?" asked Jonathan,
suddenly branching off.
"No, 1 hain't," replied the lady
blushing and smiling at the same
time.
Remember them apples gin YEP"
"Oh, yes.''
Well, they was good, wasn't they ?"
" Fustrate, Jonathan"
"Got hull orchard full of such kind
of fruit" said Jonathan suggestively.
Susan was silent.
G'lang!" exclaimed Jonathan, put
ting the braid to his black horse.
" Have yon any idea where we're
going to, Suke :"
I'm going to the village"
No you amt; you are going along
with me-"

back till you're Mrs. Dobkins, no how
you can fix it.''
How you talk, Jonathan"
It's fact"
But then, the old folks" COM
mented Susan.
The old folks" said Jonathan, put
ting on the string again 'ef 1 was to
leave you with them much longer, they
would be tradin' you off to some city
feller who has half dozen wives al
ready"
The next day as Mr.. and Mrs Dobkins
were returning home, said Jonathan
confidentially
May as well tell you, Suke-for
hav'nt any secrets from you neow-that
Gusset never saw them women afore
they stepped into your house and blowed
him up, as 1 had thought. Cost me
the dollars-I told them what to say,
and expect they done it we'll. Gussett
may be shop-keeper, but If he expects
to get ahead of Jonathan Dobkins he
must get up plaguy sight earlier in
the morning."

THE sTEUBENvILLE PIKE-CoN
TEST.

The opponents OF free turnpikes have
had their meeting in Steubenville. The
proceedings indicate that the opposition
mean business. Among other matters
considered was a legal opinion from CadiE,
upon the power Of the Commissioners
to tax the property holders Of Steuben-
vile under the pike law.
The bearing of the opinion is very de-
cidedly in favor of the obstruCtionists.
II holds that the County Commission
ers have no authority to construct such
roads within the city limits Of your
county seat, Steubenville." And again,
"COunty Commissioners are not bound
TO obey the late vote, but are at liberty
to totally disregard it."
The meeting recommended petition
10 the Court for an injunction to re-
strain the commissioners from action in
the case untilit is decidedly the Courts,
and a committee was appointed to take
subscriptions for defraying expenses of
legal proceedings.
This is altogether a novel contest. The
majority OF the people of jefferson seem
to regard pixies as the panacea for all
their ills, and there is arrayed
against it = very decided oPin-
ion that they would be public ca
lamity. We remember seeing an esti-
mate, placing the cost of these pixies at
we are almost afraid to name the sum
-S25,OO0 per mile II this be an APP
Proclamation TO the actual figures, why
not build a railroad for less money
wherever a pike is wanted? They
would be "nayigable" all the year
round-the bottom wouldn't drop out
in the winter, nor the surface become
too hard in the summer. They would
pay for repairs all through the seasons

Serious Danger

Threatens every man, woman or child living IN
a region of country where fever and ague is pre-
yalent, since the germs OF malarial disease are
inhaled from the air and are swallowed from the
water of such region. Medicinal safeguard is
absolutely necessary to nullify this danger. As
a means of certifying and acclimating the system
so as TO be able to resist the malarial poison,
Hostetters stomach Bitters is incOmparably the
best and the most popular. Irregularities OF the
stomach, liver and bowels encourage malaria;
but these are speedily rectifed by the Bitters.
The functions of digestion and secretion are as
sisted by its use, and vigorous as well as regu'
lar condition Of the system promoted by il. Con
stitution and physique are thus defended against
the inroads OF malaria by this matchleSs preyen-
tive. which Is also certain and thorough
remedy in the worst cases of intermittent and
remittent fevers.

The New York Herald has been giving
HAYES several points to consider before
vetoing the Army Bill. l. He cannot
veto it because his party wants him to.
>. lie cannot veto it on his apprehen-
sion of what legislation other bills may
contain. 8. He cannot veto 1t because
of the rider put upon it, As there are
scores Of Republican presidents for this
species of legislation, as GARFIELD has
conceded. I. He cannot veto it on the
ground that the troops are necessary at
the polls, as BLAINE has made that a.
gument ridiculous. He will, doubtless,
open his two eyes with amazement and
ask that journal "What on earth can |
veto the bill for?" He ought to offer a
large prize for a satisfactory answer to
that question.

We regret to learn OF the death OF
WILLIAM X. DAVIS, of Piedmont. The
deceased was one of the three brothers,
HENRY c., THOMAS b. and WILLIAM r.,
who have long been known as among
the most successful business men of the
country. For many years they have
carried on extensive operations in coal,
lumber and merchandising, and have
dealt largely in coal and timber lands.
There is another brother, JOHN, in
Richmond, who is also an unusually
successful business man.
The deceased brother was known to
those who knew him well TO be possessed
OF splendid business abilities but he
was so modest and unassuming that he
was scarcely known outside of his i'm
mediate business circle. He was large
hearted, enterprising and industrious,
and will be much missed in the locality
in which he lived.

"NATIONAL GLASS WORKS"

NATIONAL GLASS "OhhS'
We have received q communication
from the coolest Employees" of the ma
tional Glass Works" over in Bellaire, in
which they complain that the new man
ager OF this institution, which is about
to resume operations, in selecting his
men out OF the old force, has discrimi-
mated against the old employees and men
with families, selecting principally
young and inexperienced men. They
complain that this is contrary to the es-
tablished custom in manufactures, and
very unjust and disappointing to the old
employees who have been waiting in ex-
pectation of job when the works were
reopened, and who are now out OF
funds.
So far as the custom alluded to is con-
cerned, we believe the statement is cor
rect, but we know nothing about the
merits OF the matter, and as the cOmmu-
nication imputes motives to certain par
ties that may be unjust, We are obliged
to suppress its publication. We sympa-
thize with men, who in these times, are
unable to secure employment, and are
always ready to aid them in giving ex-
preston to their grievances so far as we
can do so with any propriety or profit to
them, but it would he of no service to
to them, we think, to give circulation to
the personal imputatiOns contained in
the letter in question.
