Updppratf i'm Maine.

Congressman Updegraff, of our Dis
trict, has been doing splendid service
for the Republican cause in Maine. We
gather from the press of that state that
he is among the most popular and forci-
bic speakers engaged in their canvas.
The Belfast Journal, in referring to the
meeting held at Liberty, which was ad-
dressed by Hon. Seth Millikin, Hon. L.
R. Simonton and Mr.. Updegraff, says;
"But there was something both in the
matter and manner of the Ohio speaker
that especially took the crowd. They
could not seem to get enough, but re-
peatedly urged that he go on, when he
had apparently finished. Updegraff is
doing great good, and we hope he will
continue with us until election"
In the same paper we notice frequent
cOmmendatory notices of his meetings.
Although his engagement with their
state committee concluded on the 14th,
there were such urgent calls from vari-
Gus parts of the state for his services.
that Senator Blaine secured his release
from engagements in Indiana for a
week, after which he will enter the In
diana campaign.

IT appears that the Greenback party
does not have any better success in
breaking up the Solid South" than the
Republican party. Mr. J. H. Randall, a
prominent Greenback stumper, travelled
through Alabama during the late cam
paign in that State, and he gives his eX-
perience in letter to the National View,
of Washington City, the leading Green
back newspaper. He says that at KiZer
Hill, Alabama, his meeting was broken
up by Democratic mob, and he and his
friends were given twenty-five minutes
to "pack up their duds" and get cut of
town. He in the meantime was assail-
ed with the vilest kind of abuse. He
says that nothing but solid Democrat
ic South is wanted in that region. Mr..
Randall also gives some facts in connec-
tion with the election in that State. He
SAYS that in one county the Sheriff di-
rected that the Independents and Green
hackers should be present when the
votes were counted. The proper per-
sons were selected, and they made ap-
plication to the polls for the purpose,
but they were refused permission, and
| the Democratic board had the count all
their own way. In Mobile an order was
issued by the head of the police force,
and read to the members at their head
quarters, giving them to understand that
| if they failed to vote the straight Dem
Ocratic ticket they would be discharged.
Mr.. Randall sums up his long letter with
the following reflections: Considering
that, taken as a whole, the Northern
and Southern States represent two en-
tirely different civilizations, the simple
question for the people is, Which shall
reign, the inferior or the superior?"

THE assault made upon our Fair Man
ayers and especially Mr. A. T. McKelvey
the President of the Society, by the
Gazette last week, was characteristic OF
that paper, and was just about such
statement of fact as usually appears in
that paper when partisan ends are to
be subserved. The allegation of the
Gazette is that the Democratic members
of the Board of Managers of the Fair
Association were painting as the hart
pants for the water brooks for the col
ored brethren to hold a camp-meeting in
the fair grounds. The Democratic
brethren were consumed with desire as
it were. But the ungodly McKelVey
put his foot down upon the proposition,
and the camp-meeting was at an end. In
fact, it died bornin';' all because Nc
Kelvey hates the colored people, while
the Democratic members of the board
love them as man never before loved
man. This is the story, substantially,
as the Gazette tells it.
1t is true, as stated by the Gazette,
that the colored people talked of holding
camp-meeting on the Fair Grounds
it is true that Mr.. McKelvey objected.
Beyond this the Gazette's statement is
all fiction. Messrs. 3. c. Humphrey and
Arch. Giffin. of the board of managers
expressed themselves willing to lease
the grounds to the cOlored folks. Presi-
dent McKelvey, Vice President Har-
desty, and Messrs. Charles Schumacher,
Shepherd Davis, John B. McMechan, and
w. S. Taggart, took the other view.
Messrs. Hardesty, Schumacher, Davis,
and Taggart, are Democrats, who were
opposed to having camp-meeting on the
fair grounds previous to the fair, not
because they have any unfriendly feel
ing toward the colored folks, but for the
reason that such a gathering (whether
of blacks or whites) would interfere
with the necessary repairs to the
grounds, buildings, &c. just prior to
holding the annual fair. That is all
there is of it; and the attempt of the
Gazette to manufacture party capital
out of it is very contemplate, and we
are glad to know that all sensible color
ed men take precisely that view of it.

A BRIEF RESUME.
UNIONTOWN.

Mrs. ELIZABETH ROGERS, after pro-
tracted illness, died at her home, in La
grange, o., on Thursday, the 9TH inst, at
6 o'clock P. NJ, and the funeral took
place, on Saturday, at 10 o'clock A. NJ,
Rev. Grimes, of Steubenville, conducting
religious exercises. Interment at Wells
burgh Cemetery. Mrs. Rogers was for
many years resident of this town, and
commanded universal esteem for her
many christian virtues. We have known
her from boyhood, and can add our tes-
timony to that of others, as to the pos
session of those qualities which render
ed her Christian woman. good and
honorable citizen, kind, charitable and
svmpathizing neighbor,and as one whose
chief desire was to fulfil all the duties
required of her in social christian life.
She died in the 72d year of her age, and
lived to see her family established in bu-
siness, and in the enjoyment of that
prosperity which is the reward of in
dustry, honesty and virtue. AS trib-
ute of respect a large circle of friends
and acquaintanceS here wish to add
their testimony to that expressed in the
Wellsburg Herald, by her neighbors
where her home has been for the past
few years-and they also wish to extend
their sympathy to those who mourn for
her, and to feel the loss Of II faithful
wife and loving mother.
REV. SLATER BROWN, of Colerain
paid our town a visit on Wednesday
last, and expressed himself as delighted
with the beauty of the surrounding
country, and also agreeably disappoint-
ed in the appearance of ON village. Rev.
Brown is rated "a, No. 1" in the estima-
tion of all who know him. Jovial, hon
est and true, he is among the first to es-
pOuse just cause and stand up for it.
He would fight a locomotive on princi-
ple-and for that we honor his bravery,
but when politically he charges on three
locomotives and Il gravel train, we are
forced to condemn his judgment. When
he blacks his boots and girds on his ar
NOR of a Saturday evening, preparatory
to welding the sword of the spirit on
the coming Sabbath, the Devil takes to
the woods, but by slashing around
saplings our Reverend friend so mains !
and cripples him that he can't get in
full days work until the following
and the succeeding Sabbath
he has urgent business in Somerton. Mr..

THE latest news from Alabama sho,

THE latest news from Alabama shows
how complete the Southern arrangements
are to make good the pledge of Wade
Hampton that the South should give 13S
Electoral votes for Hancock and English,
in vindication of the principles for
which StoneWall Jackson and Robert E.
Lee fought. The desperate attempt to
overcome the Republican majority in
Maine, by forgery and every form of
fraud, displays the style in which the
South is to be seconded in its raid on the
Presidency. The ding-dong about fraud
in 1876, with pomp of assertion that
such thing must not occur again, sig
mites that 1t is the purpose of the Demo-
cratic party TO reap the reward of such
elections us that in Alabama, and swim
dlerS like that in Maine at all hazards.
They will have no more Electoral Com
missions or any form of arbitration
They propose to judge and decide for
themselves. This is proclamation that
they intend to take possession of the
Government after going through the
forms of an election, taking their own
word for it that they have won it. There
couldn't palmer menace than this. 1t
amounts to a threat of civil war, and
has the same place in the controversies
of the day that the threat of disunion
did before the war. Having both Hous-
es of Congress, certainly they can not
be cheated. They have been much
troubled about Returning Boards, They
have the Great Returning Board. There
fore, this threatening is not only inso-
lent, it is gratuitous, displaying an IRE
sistible misunderstanding tendency, and
a potentuous development of evil pro-
pensity. Under all these circumstances
it seems to us of infinite consequence
that the Republicans should make their
victories in the free States-the phrase
is az good and true as ever it was-over-
whelming from ocean to ocean. They
can do this, and it is demanded by the
highest considerations for the safety of
the country.

\ SERIOUS ACCIDENT occurred at Clel-
lands mills this week, and we are in
formed that the engine is so badly dam
aged that new one will be required to
replace it. So far as we can learn the
damage was caused by the breaking of
the piston rod, and before steam could
be shut off the engine was badly wreck
ed. The loss is severe one to the Clel-
land Bros, who have used enterprise in
repairing the mills and establishing a
profitable business. As an offset to this
bad luck. rumor says that they have in
herited a large fortune, which will dna-
ble them to buy engines by the hundred
| if the so desire.
WE are indebted to Mr.. Daniel Rr1w-
er for curiosity found in the heart of a
tree, and which is worthy of notice. Mr..
| W. Bigely and others were engaged in
telling trees, and after cutting into the
trunk of solid poplar, they were con-
Siderably astoniShed to discover what
seemed to be mass of human hair, re-
sembling that of an Indian, being straight
and of an intense black color. They
state that after it was all removed from
the cavity it formed mass as large as
la half bushel measure, the wood sur
