Glow doth the busy bee
Improye each SHINING hour

improve eacn SHINING nOur.
Last week the bee case in which VIM.
Pryor was plaintiff and John Harshman
was defendant, was tried before Jno. R.
Stephen, Esq, and a jury. ITO be or
not to be" the owner of a certain swarm
OF bees, ''that's the question: which was
at issue between the parties. A certain
swarm of bees had lighted upon the limb
of a tree. Its trunk stood on Harshman's
ground but its limbs overhung Pryor's
garden, on one of these overhanging
limbs the swarm had settled. Under
meath them was spread a table cloth and
the hive placed by Eddie Pryor, and just
as he was about to hive them John Harsh
man sawed off the limb and took the
swarm over the fence. The Pryor's
thought Harshman ought to "shinney on
his own side," and brought suit for tres
pass and damages, and the jury awarded
six dollars and costs to plaintiff. Thus the
bee as usual, left a sting behind. The cost
and damages viii amount to nearly $40
which would buy a dozen good swarms
of bees. But law is law and justice is
justice, and were it not for the follies of
litigants, lawyers would find poor pick

Convention Sparks,
The big ring got busted!

The big ring got busted!
The "kickers'' are numerous.
The little Eaton Ring busted the old
lone.
Nh. Williams had his candidate SIT
down on.
The Eaton Ring is sadl Its pet was
slaughtered.
The Changers did it with their little
Clubs.
The Ring will reorganize. Mr.. Will
liams will go fishing.
Dixon township hasn't had an official
for twenty years. Ills sad, amt it, John?
John Daugherty's twenty-ffth ami
versary is postponed until after harvest.
John R. Stephen hadn't a friend in the
Convention. John R. writes too many
cards.
Cooper was in Eaton on Monday last
examining his fences. Some of them are
badly down.
You needn't be SO particular now about
moving to Eaton to get an office. The
Ring is busted.
The 'Dishrag's'' candidate got only
fourteen votes. We knew it. Mr.. Tho
mas should have known better.
The carpet-bagger attended the Con-
vention with his usual bundle of dirty
papers under his arm.
Thomas vowed he was "loiln since the
birth of the Republican party, but, alas!
the "Dishrag'' smothered him.
A number of Delegates went home last
Saturday, swearing they would never at
tend another Convention in Eaton.
Cooper belongs to the Jackson Town
ship Granger Club, which is in favor of
cheap officials. VIII he serve for $1,000?
Conger voted for Swisher, and ac-
knowledged 1.-THE only got five votes.
Cooper did the same but wouldn't tell it.
The plaster on Somers township is a
very thin one, but then the "Dishrag"
didn't know Young. Nobody else does.
The reason why the Ring candidate
was sit down on SO heavily in Eaton, the
"boys" have a candidate here for Sher-
ifnext year.
Mr.. Williams loves the soldier, but he
would have nominated for Treasurer a
stay-at-home patriot over two old vete-
rams.
"Featherlegs" didn't command enough
votes for. a record. The Ring don't like
Gratis-there are too many Prohibition
votes down there.
Thomas ''bloody shirt" speech and
the support of the "Dishrag'' knocked
him. The people are tired Of such infer
nal ~tomfoolery.
Freeman don't want the office of Pros
ecuting Attorney, but headoes the dollar
he paid the printer for his announce
ment. He can have it.
Sam Coovert, we told you SO. The diff
ficulty was you failed to supply yourself
with tobacco" when serving as Com
missioner before.
The Secretary on Credentials could not
be found to report, but the Chair an
nounced the Delegates all Gull" and
probably the Secretary too!
How lovely everything is in the Repub-
lican ranks in Preble county? The little
Ring sits down on the big Rings candi-
date for Treasurer, in order to ave their
candidate for Sheriff, who lives in Eaton.
If Harvey Conger could only command
five votes because he simply voted for
Swisher, how many should Cooper get,
who both electioneered and voted for
him? Willthe arithmetician Of the reg
lister" please calculate?

Treatise on the Horse and his Diseas-
es," by DR.. B. j. Kendallof E~nosburgh
Falls, VT, is a book that every owner
of a horse should have, and no breeder
of horses can afford TO do without. 1t
has tllirty-five ~engravings illustrating
positions assumed by sick horses, and
gives treatment of diseases in such plain
and comprehensive language as to be
readily understood by any one of ordi-
nary intelligence. The price is only
25 cents, but we would not exchange it
for any book on the horse and his dis
eases that we have yer seen, and we
have read some books of the kind that
cost $40. 1t contains a large number
of recipes, any one of which is worth
double the price of the work. The
book may oe had of the author as above.

Personal,

As the Dayton Daily JOURNAL and one
or two other papers endeavored to leave
an impression upon the public that our
resignation as one Of the Trustees of the
Dayton Asylum for the Insane, was from
a request Of the other members of the
Board, we hope to be pardoned for the
publication of the following letter and
resolutions, for which testimonials we
tender our heartfelt thanks to the Presi-
dent and Board, and hope that the Insti-
tuition may be eve governed and con-
trolled, not for party or political purpos-
es, but for the comfort and relief of its
unfortunate inmates:

THE Republican County Convention
which met in Eaton on Saturday last to
nominate a ticket, was large-the disaf-
lection over the result of it is equally as
large. The old Ring went in determined
to nominate w. H. Ortt for Treasurer,
but a little Ring was formed outside that
beautifully sit down on the old Ring, the
result of which created some tall swear
ing. Daugherty was choked off when he
should have had another ballot, and the
Dixon township delegation went home
soured. Thomas, the Somers township
candidate, made a "bloody shirt" speech,
and after the first ballot withdrew dis
gusted. He only got his own township
vote. He says the nomination of Young
for Commissioner, is too thin a plaster to
cover the whole sore, and that if a good
man is selected against Cooper, Somers
will give but a small majority for the
nominee. The Monroe delegation came
with their affections set for Coovert for
Commissioner, but Sam didn't get a
smell. Although Coovert is reformed,
the Convention remembered he used too
much tobacco" when serving before.
The Monroe boys say that township will
give an increased Democratic majority in
October. We believe it. In fact we
know it. The only delegation that went
home satisfied was the Jackson town
ship. 1t got both the Treasurer and In
Urinary Director. Ortt would have made
a better run and a more competent and
efficient Treasurer han Cooper, and
Frank Raikes should have been nomi-
mated for Commissioner. Howard Young
is a very good man, but wholly unfit for
the position, and if the taxpayers of Pre-
bic county want a reform there, Mr..
Young should be left out. Give us a
Commissioner from Eaton for once. We
are entitled to it. The following is the
ticket nominated, andwe have not a par
ticle of doubt in our mind, that an indie
pendent ticket can be made up that will
defeat the whole thing. The dissatisfac-
ton is wide and deep seated, and cannot
be healed over:

Ague Cure,

For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever
Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb AFuef
all the affections which arise from mazari-
GUS, marsh, or mlasmatic poisons.
This-is . compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the seyerest cases OF ChilIs
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
q remedy the necessities Of the people IN mala-
rious districts demand. It's great superiority
over any other medicine yet discovered for Tho
cure Of Intermittents is, that it contains no quiz
nine or mineral, and those who take it are free
from danger of quinism or any injurious enects,
and are as healthy after using 1t as before. it
has been extensively employed during the LAST
thirty years in the treatment Of these distressing
disorders, and so unvarying has been its success
that ithas gained the reputation Of being infal-
lible. Itcan, therefore, be safely recommended
as q sure remedy and specific for the Fever n
Ague of the West, and the Chills and Fever OF
the South. It counteracts the miasmntic poison
in the blood, and frees the system from its inau-
ence. so that fever and ague, shakes or chiils,
once broken up by It, do notreturn until tho
disease is again contracted.
The great variety Of disorders which arise from
the irritation Of this poison, such as Neuralgia,
rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindnessr
T~oothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Splcnic Affections, Hystcrics,s Pain
IN the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis, and dermget
of the stomach, all OF which become intcrmit-
tent or periodical, have NO speedier remedy than
AYERS AGuE CURE, which cures them all alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. As
a preventive, 1t is of immense service in those
/ communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as-
it stays the Development of the disease If taken
on the first approach of the premonitory symp-
toms. Travellers and Temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer if they avail themselves Of the
protection this remedy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpiditv,
it is an excellent remedy; it stimulates this organ
into healthy activity, and produces many remark
able cures where other medicines fail.
