country editors keep a carriage, and
those that do have il with the rest Of
their property in their wife's name.
When your paper comes out, about
one-half the people in your town feel
kindly towards you for the position
you jock in some local matter, and
the other party Won't speak to you.
The party that feels kindly towards

The Sabbath School Convention
met in the Pleasant Flats church, on
the 9th ult., at Z Pm. There was
but one minister present. 1t was
known that quite a number of those
who were appointed to take part in
the exercises would not be present.
Under the circumstances. it was
deemed best to adjourn tomeet at the
call of the Executive Committee,
with the Pleasant Flats as still ex-
tending an invitation to hold the
Convention in that church. Those
schools who have not sent in their
reports, are requested to send them
to the President of the Association,

their accustomed hospitality TO en-
terrain the delegates. Quite good
congregation was in attendance, and
they were disappointed that there
WIS not full delegation.
John Randolph once said in Con.
grcss, that the Ohio river was little
mud-pond, not worth spending the
peoples money to improve, us it was
frozen up one-half of the year, and
dried up the other half. John was
right for once in hislife. If he could
have seen her lust winter, with win
tcr's cold hand upon her bosom, and
now with her bottom burnt by the
scorching sun, he would not allow
one dollar to improve her condition.
During the past week or two, but
little business has been done on
either of our rivers, and none but
the smallest boats can navigate the
streams. Both rivers are lower now
than was ever known even by the
oldest inhabitant." This low water
materially affects our mercantile and
shipping interests.
