A twelye-year old girl who is liv-
ing with relatives ut East Conemaugh,
Cambria county, gave birth to we'll
developed child Il few days ago. 1t
appears that the young mother is an
orphan, having lost her parents when
a mere babe. On the death OF her
natural protectors she was taken
charge of by an uncle in Jefferson
county, with whom she has lived al.
most uninterruptcdly ever since.
If her story is correct, this uncle is
the father of her child,
The eyes of the whole people,
with one accord, turn to the city Of
Chicago and the Republican National
Convention. For on the wise or an
wise action ofthat body may hang the
happiness or misery OF a great nation.
Of course there is one consolation after
all, if Wisdom fails to hold her own
in this conventions choice, the people
at the polls on that certain day in
November may teach these party man
ayers lesson that future conventions
will not he slow to heed. 1t seems to an
honest observer that the likes or dis
likes of Cameron, COnlllin or any great
intriguer should not for a moment
be considered in the choice of Il candi-
date for the exalted Office OF Chiei
Magistrate. But that the voice OF the
great masses should be heard and the
mantle Of nomination be placed ON
the shoulders OF one worthy of the
honor. We have no fear but
that the result will be satisfactory To
the party and the country, but the
whispers of discomfort and sharp
practice by the ringleaders make one
wish there were a trille more patriot
ism in the breasts of these great men
and little less of selfish aim. THE
/ ADVOCATE goes to press too early tC
chronicle the Conventions action in
this issue.

Merchants, Read This.
C. a. ATKINSON, Sec'y.

On Tuesday evening OF last week,
while passing along Front Street, in
Portsmouth, I dropped in at the Whole
sale establishment Of J. l.. Hibbs & Co.,
Dealers in Boots, Shoes, Hats, Caps and
formed by this company this year, and
the firm now consists of J. L. Hibbs, who
is the senior partner, Alexander Calder
bookkeeper for the company, Mr. A. r.
Morrison and c. Gillian.
The members of this firm DO THEIR
OWN WORK, and have an extensive trade
all through Southern Ohio. Mr. Gilli-
Ian asked me to go through their building
and look at their goods, and I went
through with him and was surprised to
find it so extensive. They have two build
ings on Front Street, the rooms are con-
nected by doorways on each floor, and are
one hundred and forty feet deep, and the
buildings are four stories high, making
eight rooms in all, besides the cellars.
/ did not suppose Portsmouth could
boast of an establishment carrying as
large stock of goods as this firm have
on hand. Just think Of eight rooms one
hundred and forty feet long, with high
ceilings, filled with boxes of Boots, Shoes
and Hats. Boxes are piled up nearly to
the ceilings and next the wall all around
a room, then a passage-way is left and
the centre is filled with goods piled near.
ly to the ceiling, so that the space from
floor to ceiling, except small passage,
way around the room, is all occupied with
goods.
These goods have all been carefully Sc
lected by this firm for the purpose of sup
plying the Fall trade of Southern Ohio
and as their stock Of goods is much large
than any other house in the City, oul
Merchants cannot do justice to them
selves and their customers without call
ing at this establishment when they wan
to buy a stock of Boots and Shoes, O.
Hats and Caps; and if you purchase from
them you can say to your customers, ant
say truthfully, that your goods wer
bought from j. L. Hibbs & Co., of Ports
mouth, Ohio, who carry the largest stool
and best goods in Boots and Shoes, Hat
and Caps, that are brought to this market
Mr. Gillian is gentleman we'll know
to most of the Merchants in and aroun
Jackson, and has furnished many of then
with goods in his line heretofore, and b
ought, with his present stock, to increas
his sales in this neck Of woods.

VELLSTON.
Under the Wheels.

! On last Saturday night our little village
was the scene of a very distressing occur
renee. Quite number from this place
attended the "Wallace Sisters Entertain
ment" at Hamden that evening, and
among the number was Patrick, (better
known, perhaps as Patsey), Hickey. AZ
ter arriving in Hamden he got considera-
bly, under the influence of liquor. Later
in the evening he got into fuss with
some parties, and to prevent trouble, his
friends started him home. This was the
last time he was seen alive. From all
that can be gathered, it is supposed that
he got along well enough until he got to
the scene of the tragedy, where, the
track at that point being very rough, he
stumbled and fell, and, being unable to
rise again he lay where he fell. About
eleven o'clock the extra freight and ore
train passed this place. After leaving
here the train ran very fast, and by the
time it reached the place where he was
lying, about one mile north of town. it
was running probably forty miles an
hour. The engineer saw a dark object on
the track ahead of him, when but about
twenty yards distant, but before he could
reverse his engine, he was over it. The
unfortunate man was struck and liter
ally torn to pieces, his body being scat
tered along the track for distance of
two hundred yards. The train ran on to
Hamden and men were Immediately
started back, but before they reached the
place, some of his companions of the
early evening had discovered part of
the remains, but so mangled as to be per-
fectly unrecognizable They came to
town and reported the discovery, and
crowd gathered swith lanterns and re-
turned to the spot. 1t was not until the
clothes were found that his identity was
The remains were carefully
gathered, placed in box and brought to
the station, where they were left over
night. The inquest was held Sunday and
a verdict rendered in accordance with
the above facts, imputing blame to none. |
The funeral took place from the resi-
dence of his parents in Hoganville, on
and was largely attended. This
is terrible thing, and as in the many
like cases, "whisky did it." Were strict |
justice done, the parties that sold him
the intoXicant, who are known, would be |
held accountable for his terrible death.

What is Il Democrat a!

As we were sitting in the twilight one evening,
thoughts came marching through brain like
Brigader Generals, and we thought what is a demo-
crat? and the answer was borne to by the voices
fthe night: A democrat is infnitesmal what
would be called in Biology blOatoplasm.
You take glance at them they small, soft,
minute men; but put them under the microscope
huge, burly fellows with red noses. A democrat is a
man that invites you dinner abont election times
and wants yon to stay till after supper.
He is kind Of obiging and can knock the socks off
ofanybody who hasn't any stockings.
The democrat is meek but don't like TO any one
hurt.
democrat is that has been waiting for
something to turn-up for the last 20 years. and,
last he has become turnip himself all green top.
Judging from many men that are going to the grave
of Democracy with marks OF premature decay; with
hairs that gray in the service; who have wait
for 20 years; waited long. We think the way of De-
mocracy hard.
