CHRISTMAS TREE.-On Wednesday
evening last christmas Eve), the
members and friends of the Sabbath
School, came together to enjoy them
selves with Christmas Tree. Every
thing went off pleasantly, and all felt
happy, if one could judge by the look
of the happy faces present. The church
was tastefully decorated; on the left
hand of the pulpit stood the Tree near
ly reaching the ceiling; on the right
hand other very valuable presents
were displayed. In the center was a
green box with Illuminating letters.
wishing all Merry Christmas, with a
cross on either side above this was a
large motto with word Welcome. AL
together the church looked beautiful.
The Tree was loaded with large va
riety of presents to both young and old.
The articles composed of neck-ties, silk
handkerchiefs, fancy and toilet articles,
vases, books, etc. There were present
ed two very comfortable easy chairs
one to the Rev. w. Hyatt, and the 9TH
er to the Rev. Mr.. Pierson also, some
handsome and costly silver ware pre-
sented to Mr.. E. X. Hoskin, for many
years the faithful superintendent of
the school. The Rev. Hyatt made few
very appropriate remarks. He said
that in looking upon so many beauti-
full presents, and feeling so happy, we
ought to remember Gods great gift,
the gift of His Son Jesus Christ. Mr..
Fred Frost read a very able essay, ap-
propriate for Christmas time. We.also
were favored with some very fine an
thems, we'll rendered by the choir,
who were under the direction of Mr..
Henry Coe. The singing reflected
great credit upon every member of the
choir.

IT is notable, says the St. Paul Globe,
that the various petitions now in cir
culation asking for the passage of the
Bayard bill demonetizing the green
back are signed only by bankers and
those having an interest in such insti-
tutions. The mass of the people re-
fuse to entertain the idea, for the green
back as . legal-tender is precisely
what they want.

WHEN speaking of the " Maine Out
rage" the Radical screechers seem to
forget that it was the same ten thou.
sand majority for Tilden that were
counted out in order to carry the
State of Louisiana for Hayes, which
were counted in to elect Nichols Gov
rrnor, and if the majority for Tilden
was obtained by intimidation and
fraud was sot the same majority for
Nichols obtained by like means7 Yet
they concede the election Of Nichols
and hold on to the Presidency of which
by perjury, forgery and fraud they
robbed the people by boldly stealing a
State.

IT took the Maine affair TO open the
eyes of the Radical screechers to the
tact that stealing State is such high
crime as TO be intolerable. When they
openly stole the States of Florida and
Louisiana and defrauded the people of
the nation Of their choice of President
it was treated by these indignant RAIDS
as trifling affair over which no fuss
should be made. 1t was not until
their chickens came home to roost that
they comprehended the nature of their
fowl proceeding.
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1880-01-01

The Radicals who are bowling about
the outrage in Maine think that
State belongs to them and that they
have a majority of the votes there,
which is long way from being the
truth. The vote last September was:
Greenbackers $4,000
Democrats %, 900
Republicans. ...................6 .6I,OOO
Thus it will be seen that the Cover
nor and Council did not by their ac-
ton disfranchise . majority of the
people of Maine but, on the contrary,
the Greenbackers and Democrats, at
the election last September, had a ma
jority of 4, 900 votes in that State. What
of the Republican howlers seem to
want is that the Governor and Coun-
Gil should connt the returns in def
ance of the law, constitution, and rul-
ing of the Supreme Court so as to
give them the power in the State. II
don't look well for the leaders of the
party who shamelessly defrauded the
people of the whole nation by count
ing out majority of ten thousand in
Louisiana in 1876, for President, in
defiance OF law, to be rending their
linen over the action of the Maine au-
thorities who claim to have strictly
complied with the Constitution, laws
and decisions of the Supreme Court,
and with Republican precedent.

In the inspection of returns and tab
ulation of the same, which has Just
been completed by myself and Council,
it has been our purpose to apply to
every return the same rule-tO-wit: /:
Compliance with the requirements of
the Constitution and the law, without
fear or favor; and if the result as to
the political complexion of the Legis-
lature is different from what was
claimed by politicians interested in in
tiuencing the elections in other States,
it is owing in part to the fact that the
claim was unfounded, and in part to
the carelessness of municipal officers
in making their returns. The truth is
the popular vote is against the Repub-
lican party, and in the Representative
and Senatorial districts the vote was
extremely close. In addition to the
fact that several persons have failed to
receive their certificates in cOnse-
auence of :" fatal defects" in the re-
turns from their towns or cities, there
are others who would have presuma-
bly been elected but for the careless
ness of the voters themselves or the
ignorance of the candidates or those
who provided ballots at the elections.
The Judges of our Supreme Court have
decided that ballots cast for William
H. Smith and w. H. Smith are ballots
to be counted separately. Several
changes have resulted from this con-
dition of affairs. In one county per-
SONS with as many as four different
combinations in initials received the
Republican votes and two the Demo-
cratic. That county was entitled to
only one Senator and there was no al
tentative but to give the certificate to
the person having the highest number
of votes. In the DanfOrth district, al
ready notorious, the name of the Re.
publican candidate was Charles A.
Rolfe. The town of Danforth voted
for Charles Roffe. The result was that
his competitor received the certificate,
and from like causes other changes
have occurred. ..t-...s..

PROCLAMATION.
No More Sick Horses or Cattle.

TNHE Introduction of the English COndi-
Il ton Powders in our American mar
ket, exemptfrom duty, freight, &C., has proved
10 the thousands who are daily using them
that they have been long felt want.
For the past half century they have grown
in public favorand general use in all quarters
of the globe and their name and fame is world
wide
There is not an ailment known in Veterina-
ry practice Of the Horse, Cow, Sheep or Hog,
but yields 10 their miraculous influence.
Their rare balsamic properties are conveyed
to every part of the brute creation and imme-
diae relief IS given.
They heal Internal Ulcerations Danish all
arrangements, and give the stomach proper
tone
No Stock owner need despair cure whilst
this NEvER-FAILING remedy can be obtained,
and the reputation they bear from all quarters
of the globe is fully borne out by the success
they have attained-corroborated by testimo-
mails of the people of all classes and countries.
They have cured thousands of cases conceded
incurable
The many ailments Of each class Of animals
and their various forms are too extended to
discuss; but we guarantee in each case ten
told remuneration for the small investment
that places them within reach of the most
bundle who have to rely on their stock for
support.
The majority are more directly interested in
Horses and to them we say, one trial will con-
vince you that they work wonders, and no
matter how doubtful the case is you will inva-
riably be benefited and your animals made
and kept healthy by their use.
ENGLISH CONDITION POWDERS
are certain and speedy remedy, no matter
what the disease is or how complicated. They
are not temporary, but have invariably
proved to be a radical cure.
They restore health and produce flesh, milk
and butter They aid digestion and assmi-
lation, and thoroughly renovate the system
and will be found invaluable and remnnera-
tive 10 every stock-owner.
They are not like the usual horse and cattle
powders that act as opium or stimulating
drinks act on man and when once used must
always be used. They act as manure acts on
soil, and can be used in any weather or season
with profitable results.
W. The following TESTIMONIALS speak
of their merits:

diiion Powders for some time past ana find

BRILLIANT GATHERING.
Marriage Last Evening at the Lauder
dale Street Church.

AT six o'clock last evening the cosy
little brick church on the corner of
Lauderdale and Beal streets was
packed to overlooking with an elegant,
good humored, expectant crowd. The
church was tastefully decorated with
evergreens and flowers; the most strik-
ing design being a large horseshoe, in
place Of the time honored marriage
bell, hangingoyer the space in front of
the pulpit.
A few minutes later than the time
set, the ushers, Messrs. +. H. Heiskell
and James Fuzzell, made an opening
in the crowd that jammed the left
hand aisle, the organ struck up and
There they comet went over the
assembly in a whisper, The bridal
party entered and took their places in
a semi-circle in front of the pulpit.
The principal parties were Mr..
James G. Snedecor and Miss
Emmie A. Estes. The attendants
were b. o. Price, of St. Louis, and
Miss Mary L. Estes, N. B. johnson

Phie Chester, of Jackson, Tenn.
The ceremony was performed in an
impressive and feeling manner by Rev.
DR.. Waddel, Of Clarksville, formerly
pastor Of the church and the step
father of the bridegroom. The dress
ing Of the lovely bride and the brides
maids was in the best style and taste,
and the gentlemen were alfred ac-
cordingt to the latest and most approved
regulations of society. When the
ceremony was over the party with
drew and repaired to the residence Of
Col. B, NJ. Estes, the brides father,

young couple and start out together

journalist of Mississippi, but of late
years has a~dopted,the profession Of the
law. He is a well educated, promis-
ing young man. The bride is highly
cultured and endowed with all the
graces and traits that make woman
lovely. We wish them a life of use

A MYsteriOus Anair.

Through ca%relessness or intention.
the little year-old boy Of Mrs. Leah
Hortense, a player at Kings theater,
was so badly bruised, last evening,
that its life is almost dispaired of.
The circumstances are as follows :
about 4 o'clock in the evening Mrs.
Hortense, whose stage name is frankie
Smith, and who boards at the White
more house, went out shopping, leay-
ing the child in charge of a colOred
nurse named Mary Higgins. Upon
her return, two hours later, she found
the child in a stupor and horribly
burned from the shoulder to the
ankle on one side and from the
knee to the ankle on the other. The
nurse could give no explanation what
ever, and grew extremely nervous
under Mrs. Hortenses' searching fire
OF inquiry. A short time after her
arrival at home Mrs. Hortense sent
the girl downstairs on some errand
and has not seer her since. Circum-
stances go to show that the burning of
the child was premeditated and an
act of iendish infamy. One of the
servants of the Whitemore house says
she heard the nurse abuse the child
for crying, and threaten to SIX" her
for good if she did not stop. Among
other things, Mrs. Hortense found
that a quantity of soothing syrup had
disappeared from the bottle, enough
in itself to kill the child. Part of
the clothes the child had worn had
also disappeared. The police are on
the lookout for the woman.
