A SAD AFFAIR-On Sunday morn
ing last a most terrible affair occurred
at the farm residence of Mr.. d. G..
Kirkland, about two miles east of the
Center of CharlestOwn. A little son of
Mr.. X. aged five or six years, climbed
up to cupboard or desk, where he
found a revolver, which he took down
and, proceeding to a crib in which lay
an infant about six months old, he
cooked the weapon and discharged it
in the face of the child in the crib, the
ball entering the face near the nose
and passing round. came out at the
back of the neck, infiicting fearful,
if not fatal wound. At last accounts
the child was alive, and slight hopes
are entertained of its recovery.

Grand Democratic Rally at Man.


Grand Democratic Rally at Man.
tua station.
Friday last was big day for the
Democracy at Mantua Station. The
wide awake and sterling Democrats
of that lively burg invited their DEM
.ocratic neighbors to meet them on that
day and assist in raising fine hickory
flag pole in honor of the Democratic
standard bearers, and they responded
most nobly to the call. The crowd is
teen hundred, and a more enthusiastic
and confident gathering of people we
have never witnessed. Atabout noon
the work of raising the pole was COM
menced, but owing to the breaking of
q pulley rope it was deferred for q
short time till the break was repaired,
and in the mean time the people
marched, under the lead of the Ravon
ma City Band, to the elegant Atwater
Grove, where they listened to the sing
ing OF the Star Spangled Banner, by a
fine Glce Club, and an able and elo-
quent discussion. of the political issues
OF the campaign by j. w. Heisley,
Esq of Cleveland. The speech over,
the crowd again repaired to the place
for erecting the pole, and in short
time the work was successfully accom-
pIished amid the shouts of the vast
throng and the splendid music of the
City Band. r ""
The pole is an elegant one, over enc
hundred and forty feet in height, from
the pinnacle of which floats the en-
blem of the Federal Union of Free
and equal States and banner bearing
the names Of Hancock and English,
the noble defenders of the Union of
our fathers. -a, b
w. B. Thomas was then introduced,
and in an address of about half an
hour discussed the political issues, and
the close attention of the au.
dience. At the close OF the speech the
meeting adjourned with three cheers
for Hancock and English, the Demo-
cratic standard bearers, and q like
for the Speakers and the Band.
The most complete harmony and
good feeling prevailed throughout the
and the meeting was in
every respect success, demonstrating
that the sterling Democrats of Manfua
are wide awake, active, aud determin-
ed to render good account OF them
selyes in the coming October aud No
elections.

The Attraction that Wins.

The most attractive ladies, noted for
personal beauty, are those who have
charming, white, clear compilations,
skin soft as velvet, free from all un-
slightly blemishes, cheeks blooming
with the roseate hue of perfect health.
Every lady, young or old, can possess
all these desirable charms by applying
Dupree's "Oil of Beauty" which is
used everywhere by the elite of refined
society. 1t is not an injurious paint or
powder, neither an artificial bloom "
or balm," to fill up the pores and dis
ease the skin, but clear, fragrant
liquid, healthful as pure water, perma-
nently removing sallowness, black
heads, tan, &C., preventing chapping,
and makes the skin supremely beauti-
full. Sold by Seymour & Go.

The Value of Pure Wine in
Sickness.

The chief difficulty with reliable
wines has been their scarcity and ex-
orbitant price, but this has been re-
moved by the introduction of a pure
Native Wine, produced from the
Oporto grape by Mr.. Alfred Speer, OF
New Jersey. We understand that he
has submitted his wine to the test OF
many of our celebrated physicians,
and all concur in its purity, medicinal
properties, and superiority to the best
imported Port Wine. Most of them
prescribe it in cases of debility, affec.
tions of the kidneys, and chronic
complaints, requiring tonic, sudorific
or diuretic treatment. = Examiner

RANDOLPH.

The showers last week have been
more copious in the northern than in
the southern part of Randolph.
! Corn is doing well, and will yield
better than was expected before har-
vest. Potatoes yield well but rot fast.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Valentine Hissel
received a severe injury. He was blast
ing rocks, and charge going off pre-
maturely severely mangled his hand.
Mr.. Hissel barely escaped with his
life.
A few days after the above accident,
q young man named Andrew Criggy
employed at the steam thresher of An
drew Horner, had his hand caught by
the large belt and rapidly jerked
against a post of the machine, dislocat-
ing some of the small wrist bones. The
wound was promptly cared for by DIR.

There is much comment concerning
a certain Baron Won Humbug," who
seems to take well with some of our
people for his Germanic purity. If
this gentleman be not baron then he
certainly is q humbug. Should he,
however, not be humbug, it would
be nonsequitur to say he is baron.
for he may or may not be baron
without being humbug. A demon
stration of this cOnundrum would set
a good many of our speculative people
at rest. If he be a humbug we doubt
seriously as to his nationality, for this
class of people is peculiar only to the
American race.
The people of the Democratic per-
suasion are not yet aroused to Il pole
raising. They are nevertheless jealous
in their efforts for pure government,
and say no better man than General
Hancock could be selected to preside
over it. Gen. Garfield does very well
as an orator. His speeches are read
with a great deal of admiration for
oratorical merit, and did he strive but
half so much to serve his country hon
orably as to gain the applause of the
populace, his position today might
well be envied by the best of men,
AS it is, however, it seems a mystery
to us that people who claim to read
and think for themselves should be
willing to laud the man for honesty
who, according to the public records
has defrauded them. There can be
but two reasons for this incOngruity
as it seems to us. Either the claim
that they read and think for them
selves is false, or they are too preju'
diced to be convinced. But we must
desist. We are attacking the fountain
of wisdom and grace, which is sacri
Iege. Forgive us, oh, Republican
party.

AQUEER NOTION.

Many people think it is cheaper to
buy 25 cent sizes of proprietary med
icine. But they make mistake. For
instance. DIR. Wistar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry contains about eight times the
quantity of ordinary 25 cent cough
balsams. Besides it takes less guam
tity of Wistar's Balsam to cure a.cOld.
A single dose is often sufficient. For
deep seated Colds and Consumption it
has proven itself TO be the best and
quickest cure ever discovered.
