VI don't want to make any trouble, but
there is one man in this city who ought to
be gibbetedm began "a blunt-spoken wo-
man OF forty-fve as she stood before the
officials of the Twentieth Street Station a
day or two ago.
When they inquired for particulars she
handed out letter and said
"Observe the envelope. That letter is
addressed to me. You will see that the
writer calls me his jessamine, and he wants
me to set an early day for the wedding"
When the captain had finished the letter
she was ready with another, adding;
"And this is addressed to my daughter
Lucretia. You will see that lie calls her
his rosy angel, and he says he can't live if
she doesn't marry him. It's the same
man"
SO it was, and his letter was as tender as
spring chicken. That finished, she handed
out third, with the remark:
"This is directed to my daughter Helen.
It's the very same man, and in it he calls
her his panSy, and he says he dreams Of
her."
"Why, he seemed to love the whole fam
ily,n remarked the captain.
That's just it. I'm widow with two
daghters, and he was counting US all at once
and engaged to three of US at the same
time. Oh! what wretches there are in this
world"
"Yes, indeed. It's lucky you found him
OUT
''Yes, it is. If l hadn't he might have
married the whole caboodle of US. If Lu-
cre,ia hadn't opened one Of my letters, and
if hadn't searched the girls pockets while
they were asleep we'd have thought him an
innocent lamb"
And do you want him arrestedl"
"No, guess not, but | want this matter
to 90 into the papers as warning to other
women. Just think OF his sitting up with
me Sunday night, Lucretia on Wednesday
night, and Helen on Friday night, and call
ing each one of us his climbing rose! Oh!
sir, the women ought to know what deceiv-
ing animal man isl
"Yes, he's pretty tough
1T has learned me lesson" she said as
she was ready to GO. The next man that
comes sparkling aroundOny house has got
to come right out and say which he's after.
If it's the girls won't say nothing, and if
it's me it won't do EN- bit OF good to
slam things around and twit me Of burying
two husbands

MONDAY EVENING, July 8, 1880.
The weather continues stormy and heavy
rain falls are of daily occurrence. Some
not altogether groundless tears are enter
tanned among farmers, that the continued
wet weather will damage the grain in
shock. Such protracted wet spell at this
season of the year has not been experienced
since 1854, when the standing wheatshocks
throughout the state of Ohio sprouted
and were covered green with growing
wheat, followed by one of the sickliest
seasons ever known in the Miami valley.
The market is very quiet and transac-
tons are small in most leading and staple
articles.
FLOUR-This staple is stronger and
prices grow frmer as the old stock becomes
scarcer. There is also considerable request
for new -four Of grades from family up.
ward.
HAY-The stock is becoming reduced
and frmer feeling prevails.
CORN--Steady and quiet. The demand
is almost entirely for milling purposes.
oATS-Plenty Offering and the market
is dull and weak.
MEAL-The market is firm and the city
mills have a steady demand for all they can
manufacture. Country is firm, and a shade
higher.
BRAN-Plenty and dull.
BUTTER-Choice is active, scarce and
firm.
EGGS-Easier; prices are unchanged
POCLTRY-All kinds, and especially
choice spring chickens are in active request.
POTATOES-Nominal. There is no
sale for new potatoes.
FRUIT-Cherries and peaches are in de-
mand. Apples and blackberries are not
wanted

A Republican Sch g me.

A bill is pending in the Legislature
of New York proving for the election
of Electors of President and Vice.
President by the Congressional Dis
tricts of the State. This is Radical
scheme to enable them to divide the
electoral vote of the Empire State and
to take the lions share Of it regard
less of any majority that may be
against them in the popular vote. 1t
most manifestly cheat and manifests
determination on the part of the
men who make such loud professions
of honesty and fairness to repeat in
some manner the villainy of 1876 of
defrauding the people of the nation
out of the choice of President and
Vice President. No other reason can
be offered for changing the time-hon.
ored rule of electing our Chief Mag
istrate but that the Republicans are
bound to hold on to power in defiance
of the will of the people. If the plan
proposed in New York is fair and
honest, why not adopt it in all the
States of the Union? There is no
reason why, If this new plan is adopt
ed in that State it should not be adopt
ed in all the States, except that it
would defeat the most palpable fraud
the Republicans intend to perpetrate
upon the country. The party of all
the Intelligence, morality and piety in
The land is out of meat and it's leaders
are driven to desperation.

Senator Hartehorn, of the Stark
Carroll District has introduced bill
to regulate the advertising of Sheriff 8
sales. 1t provides, i'm addition to the
present law upon the subject, that
I" where one or more newspapers are
printed and of general circulation in
the town or tow nship where the lands
or tenements are situate, then by ad~
yertisement in the newspaper printed
and having the largest circulation in
said town or township" Why should
not the control of this advertising be
given to the judgment creditor or his
attorney who have the great interest
In the sale and who are intrusted with
every other part of the proceedings
and management of a case upon which
the property is to be sold, and not be
placed in the control of officers to be
given as a reward for partisan services
or for personal favors3 1t would be
quite as equitable as the plan now in
vogue or as that proposed by this bill
of Senator Hartshorn.
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1880-01-22

The folio wing are the leading pro-
positions pending in both branches of
Congress at the present session: Fer
nando Woods three and a-half per
cent. refunding bill the bill TO repeal
the law making stamps on checks OBJ
ligatory bill requiring the Secretary
of the Treasury to pay half the ma
turing obligations of the Government
including interest on the public debt,
in silver dollars; the Bayard resolu-
ton, and Warmers bill to tax green
backs. 1t is said that Bayard has
abandoned his financial scheme, seeing
that majority of the committee and
q majority of both houses are opposed
to it. While these various proposi-
tions enable our national Legislators to
occupy large portion of their valua-
BILE time, it is SAFE to predict that there
will be little or no financial legislation
to disturb the present status.
