GREAT DAY AT NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF

The Cleveland Lightningrod Company
have been doing a considerable amount
of business in the vicinity of Leesburg
and Lexington this summer, and in q
manner very unsatisfactory to their pat
rons. The way it was done was some
what in this style: Agent No. 1 goes to
Farmer A, who has just built new house
or new barn, or has good buildings
without rods, and tells the danger of be-
ing unprotected from lightning; talks up
the value of his rods after the most ap-
proved style; measures the number OF
feet required with his eye, and estimates
the expense of the thing usually at SIS,
more or less. The farmer ascertains the
price of wheat and other produce, and
makes a calculation of how much he can
snare, and the amount it will bring, and
thinks $15 nOvery great Investment for
the protection of his buildings and prop
ertv, and concludes to let the agent put
the rods up. The agent is happy, but
before leaving manages some way to get
the farmer to sign little instrument of
writing, to make the contract solid, st1II
leaving him under the impression tna6 ne
is only to nav $I5. That agent leaves, and
the workmen come on and put up the
rods, and another agent does the settling.
| Ascent No. 2 is very much astonished TO
| find that it took so much more rod than
was expected, and the bills usually range
from $40 to $75, instead of $15. Among
the parties at Leesburg and Lexington
swindled in this manner are Samuel
Rees, estimate, $15, but had to pay SOS. 80 A;
Nathan Smith, estimate, S15, but had to
nav $45: Mrs. Umensetter, estimate, $40,
but had to pay sos; James johnson, esti-
| mate, $I5, but had to pay $40. These are
only a few of the victims, and we give
the figures to show the amount of the
! swindle. OF course, they nearly, if not
| all, gave their notes, payable when they
| sold their wheat, and since they have
| discovered the swindle they have notified
the Leesburg bank, and others within
their reach, not to buy their notes, as
! they will not pay them, We may expepl
to hear of more difficulties growing out
! of this by and by, and we presume that
farmers will learn some time to read pa
pers before signing them, and not give
agents chance to swindle them'-Ne''

Immense Preparations for the Nation.
al Reunion

0. s. Journal
CAMBRIDGE, ONO, July 25.-The time
for the National Reunion at this place,
August 26 to %, inclusive, is rap idly ap-
preaching. The Executive Committee.
with Major s. X. Brown. President, and
Captain w. H. McIlyar, assisted by Cap
tain j. B. Ferguson, as Secretary, has
made ample arrangements to make this
years encampment the largest ever held
in the State of Ohio. The Reunion held
here last summer was considered great
success, but that was a mere local affair
compared to the one projected this year.
The press in city. town and country, from
Maine to Texas, have advertised this
gathering of the FEblue and the gray
Your correspondent has had access to
many Southern newspapers on file at re-
union headquarters, which show that the
ex-Confederates consider Cambridge the
champion place of all the world for shak-
ing hands across the Esbloody chasm''
Besides liberal advertising, North and
South, the Executive Committee has sent
out hundreds of invitations to distinguish
ed soldiers all over the country. The
Secretary has received favorable replies
from General Longstreet, General Mar
maduke, President Hayes and Cabinet,
General Fitzhugh Lee, Francis Murphy,
Governor Colquitt, of Georgia, Governor
Bishop and staff, the candidates for State
offices of both tickets in Ohio, General
Sherman, General Garfield, General Steed-
man, General Joseph E. johnson, Chap
lain McCabe, General Basil Duke, Colonel
McEldOwney, General Wade Hampton,
General Beauregard, Governor Matthews
of West Virginia, and many others.
Colonel Harper, of Mansfield, with the
Second regiment, o. n. G., of one thou
sand men, has already made arrange
ments to go into camp near town, as has
also Captain Bosworth's battery, of Mari
eta.
National Importance is given to the
affair by the appropriation of ammuni-
ton, ETC., by Congress. The Secretary of
War has ordered the Pittsburg Arsenal to
supply the committees requisition. The
veteran soldiers will be warmly welcomed
and taken care of in a hOspitable manner.
With all these preparations made, our
citizens are watching with anxious inter
est the progress of the yellow fever al
Memphis. 1t is hoped by that time that
the quarantine will be raised, so that the
South may be fully represented.

HOW Tlley Ran.

old skinner is a great lover of war
"reminiscences, and is not slow to tell OF
his own exploits in that way. AS Wlth
war record, skinner also gives the best
side of his tales to his own army. He was
telling one of his grandchildren recently
0f a famous battle in which he was en-
gagged. His description of the flying balls,
booming of cannon, and charge of the
troops was very vivid, and the little boy
iistened with Increased interest. At last,
when skinner stopped to fill his pipe, the
little boy asked:
"And did the enemy run ?'
EDid they run 20 said Skinner. "Great
Scott, how they did run! My dear boy,
they ran so like thunder that we ran three
miles to keep out of their way, an II We
| hadn't thrown our guns away, the'd have
run over us, sure. .'5-Oa City Derrick.

crusade its birth, where will convene re-
representatives. from our own land, from
every country in Europe, from the Sand
wich Islands and Japan, to pray and plan
together as to the best means for carrying q
forward this great work.
Was this movement then, a failure p
No! No! The long list of reformed lives,
the restored happiness and prosperity of
once desolated homes, the still longer list
of our noble young men, who were ar
rested in their first downward steps in
the path of intemperance and ruin, and
whose upright and useful lives will be
standing monuments of good for years to
come who dareS to compute such re-
suits? The improved public sentiment,
banishing the wine cup from the social
circle, from the side boards and cellars of
respectable hOmes,-the awakening and
uniting of all Christian hearts in one
grand work for God and humanity. All
these are the outgrowth of reformation
which has since belted the wOrld-the
most far-seeing being utterly unable to
grasp its results.
An Incident recently under the Obser-
vatiOn of the writer, is in point. During
the winter of 1876, a grand banquet was
given the Ohio General Assembly, Judi
ciary and Military officers, by some of
the prominent citizens of our Capital
City. No labor or expense was spared in
ministering to the comfort or pleasure of
the guests, yet, no wine was to be found
in all that banquet hall. One of the
hosts Ofthe evening remarked, that ''be-
fore the 'Women's Crusade, the giving of
such an entertainment without wine
would have been impossible -
A failure? No! Eternity alone will
unfold the glorious success of that work
To have banished liquor from the land,
as at first the movement seemed to prom
ise, would have been a miracle, and God
does not now work in such manner, and
the work we feel he meant to do in this
crusade, was to rouse up his people to a
sense of their duty, to awaken his Church
which seemed to be strangely Indifferent,
| and asleep to this terrible evil. Thus he
crowned the movement with success, and
| while his followers believe and trust Him,
the good work will go on to completion,
