We learn that Mr.. Ed. Riggs, who
has been failing in health for some
time past intends spending the summer
at Stoneville.
Our Sabbath School is grinding slow
ly. We have No. superintende ent,
but why won't our scholars assist ns
more and help us to have q good Sab
bath School.
We have singing at the Church every
Saturday eve, and which, we are sorry to
say, as yeG has proved failure, we
would like to have Ohio Chapel and
Chambersburg well represented on next
Saturday evening. Come one. come all.
and let's not make failure OF our
"Singing Skewl."
Mrs. w. d. Graham has been quite Ill,
but we are happy TO say is GONZALES
cent. We hope to see her bright face at
Church next Sabbath.
The infant child of our minister, Rev.
l.. G. Haddoc, has been very sick with
lung fever, but is better at the present
writing.
The adopted child of Mr.. and Mrs.
H. Hay is also very sick. DIR. Howell
from the city is in attendance, and is
highly spoken of by all.
Colonel James Martindill from the
"burg" gave US call last week. He Is
census taker Of Clay township, and fills
the position we'll.
We return many thanks to "Truthful
James," of Chambersburg, TOR his
kind invitation to their Sabbath School,
but as we have an engagement, we re-
gIet to say that we cannot honor the

Sunday, but as we cannot call we hum

GaIlia Furnace Gleanings.

Harvest in full blast: wheat supposed
to be better on an average than last
year. Corn and oats doing well.
Greenfield enumerator has completed
the canvass in twelve days-Number of
inhabitants 1909.
The Republicans of this township are
jubilsnt over the nomination Of Gen.
Garfield. AS things stand we consider It
the best selection that could be made;
the convention showed good sense.
Gallia Furnace is managed by DR.. A.
l.. Norton, who exerts great energy In
repairing and adjusting things ready
for business. A great change has been
wrought, insomuch that stranger
would be led to exciaim in the language
of the Apostle sold things are passed
away, behold all things are new"
The future prospects of the City Of
Gallipolis is very dlscouraging-only 43
births for whole year ending April,
1880, In a city of 4 or Thousand inhab-
irants. We think the Board of Health
better take the matter into considera-
tion, and Ii there Is no remedy to be had,
| would advise the city authorities to ex-
tend an invitation to the Guyan tp.
folks to remove to your town. {See
Assessors report.)
The candida: les for county officers are
numerous again this year, and in the
main good clever fellows. 1t may be pos
sible that Greenfield will add one more to
the list. The friends Of John T.. W.
Evans are urging him to present his name
before the Convention for Commissioner.
Among the good material before the
Convention John compares favorably,
and If he comes up, the Convention will
do we'll to nominate him. More anon.

The Spell rs Broken.

The long spell of darkness that hung
over every true Republican, like a
crushing nightmare during the Repub-
lican Convention, has at last yielded to
the wisdom and good Judgment of a
majority of its members, giving us
James A. Garfield for onr Headlight.
For it looked rs though Grant was q
rock upon which the Republican party
would split, but with Garfield walking
the upper deck, we will not have 10
summons in d jury to determine who
is elected President, for Garfield and
victory are synonymous terms, meaning
one and the same, for all shades Of Re
publicans can support him without
making any consentient on their part,
and besides the campaign will not have
to be run, for 1t will not be unlike the
great rock that was split out of the
mountain side, the farther 1t rolled, the
more momentum it acquired.
The Republican psrty is not infalli-
BILE by any means, but its fundamental
principles are right, however it is al
ways ready to correct any mistakes that
1t makes, SO it Is not necessary to recon-
mend 1t to honest people, as its past
history is sufficient guarantee for it
In Gn6 Iuture.
Grant is called ''The Silent Man" but
he moved in his mysterious way his
purposes to perform, and he hore about
the same relation TO the Republican
party that Tilden does TO the Democrat,
with the exception that Grant will sup
port the Republican Nominee, while
Tilden will not unless il falls upon his
shoulders, for S. }. Tilden is power
behind the throne, and if he does not
receive the Democratic Nomination
will defeat the man who does, If Gar
field will give him chance to do so.
Twenty years ago the Republican party
was in its infancy and Abraham Lin
coin was chosen ITS guardian. In look
ing out upon the musty future Of twen-
ty years to come, we may congratulate
ourselves on the wise start we have
made.

The Power Of IsIoquence.

A thrilling "Reminiscences OF Gen. Gar
fields power over a mob is furnished by
the Cincinnati Gazette. 1t occurred in
New York, the morning after President
Lincoln's assassination. The city was
excited to its utmost tension over that
inhuman deed, and the people seemed
ready for the scenes of the French reyo-
lution. Fifty Thousand people assem-
bled in Wall street to consider the sit
uation; It soon became a mob, ready at
the first opportunity to take the law
into their own hands, and avenge the
death of the martyred hero. Already,
two men, who moment before had
said that "I.incoln ought to have been
shot long ago." lay bleeding and dying
in the street. The wave of popular In
dignation had swelled to Its crest, when
suddenly
"On the right the shout rose, "The
WorldI" sThe World. "The Office of
the World 7" ssWorld !" "World!' and a
movement of perhaps 5000 or 10000
turning their faces in the direction OF
that building began to be executed. 1t
was q critical moment. What might
come no one could tell, did that crowd
get In front of that Office. Police and
military would have availed little OF
been too late. A telegram had just been
read from Washington, ''Seward is dy-
ing" just then, at that juncture, q man
stepped forward with small flag In his
hand, and beckoned to the crowd. "An-
other telegram from Washington y
And then, in the awful stiffness OF the
crisis, taking advantage Of the hesita-
ton of the crowd, whose steps had beer
arrested q moment, a right arm wal
lifted skyward, and a voice clear and
steady, loud and distinct, spoke out
"Feliow citizensi Clouds and dark
ness are round about Himi His payil-
ion is dark waters and thick clouds oi
the skies! Justice and Judgment are
the establishment of His thronel Mer'
cy and truth shall go before his face
Fellow citizens! God reigns, and tn,
government at Washington still lives y
The effect was tremendous. The erowt
stood rivited to the ground in awe, gaz'
ing at the motionless orator, and thinking
of God and the security of the govern
ment in that hour. AS the boiling
wave subsidies and settles to the Sc;
when some strong wind beats it down
so the tumult of the people sank ant
became still. All took it as divine
omen. 1t was 4 triumph of eloquence
inspired by the moment, such as falls Il
but one mans lot, and that but once il
q century. The genius of Webster
Choate, Everette, Seward, never reach
ed it. Demosthenes never equaled it
What might have happened had th'
snrging and maddened mob been lie
loose, none can tell. The man for th'
crisis was on the spot, more pOten
than Napoleon's guns at Paris. | in

From the beginning Of the investigation

at 8 in the morning she fell into calm
sleep. The only maid in attendance
left the invaiid's bedside for few min

short intervals she found the Empress
still asleep. The last time she entered
she saw that in her sleep the poor lady
had quietly and without psin passed
away. She was hurled in her corona

Gen. Garfield has been In public life
for near twenty years, and all that he
has to show for 1t is a small farm in
Northern Ohio and house in Washing
ton city. This is sufficient answer to
the charge of corruption that the demo-
cratic press is seeking to establish
against him.

Democrats affect to believe tn at Gen.
Garfield is a weak candidate, and yet
they are consumedswith anxiety lest the
Cincinnati Convention may not give the
party 'sstrong ticket" feeling that
nothing less has any hope of beating
Garfield. This cry of "weak ticket
has about the same significance as the
whistle Of the boy had who was com.
pelled to travel past graveyard in the
night season.
