STOCK ITEMS.
From the Pittsburg Price Current, Jan. %.

Very few, If any, Texan cattle are passing
through this place this season. AS far as our
personal observation goes, the East is getting
better cattle than ever before.
Exporters made the following shipments from
New York last week. Live cattle, 800 head:
dressed beef $500 quarters; carcasses of mutt
ton, 1885; dressed hogs, 525.
A private communication from our old friend,
A. Doyle, Esq, South Plymouth, Ohio, breeder
shows the following remarkable weights among
his hogs: Forty of them, weighed December 3d.
averaged 46S16 lb.; Bessie the I'd, whose meas
urement was before given in these columns,
tipped the beam at $50 lbs, and "Walked on the
scales like pig" Mr.. Doyle thoroughly un-
derstands the science of bringing hogs to per
fectlOn in size and style.
Before the recent packing troubles in Chicago
1t seemed to be the opinion of packers in gen
eral that the bulk Of the hogs of the country
would be marketed by Tor very soon after) the
first Of the year. But now, since the business
blockade is raised and the runs have started
freely again, it is seen that the supply was un-
derestimated, and packers feel less certain and
sanguine and are operating rather timidly,
They are evidently afraid to buy at prices which
they paid quickly and cheerfully few weeks
ago, and which they would no doubt have con
tinued to pay had the course of business been
uninterrupted. In fact the trade received a
shock during the general suspension of pack
ing in Chicago in what should have been the
busiest season, from which recovery is slow,
ana the hog market everywhere is suffering to-
DAY from the effects of the fanaticism of pre-
tended friends of the labOring man.

convention Of County Surveyors.

The County Surveyors of the State
have been in session in Columbus.
They submitted a series of questions
pertaining to their business to Attorney
General Nash. His answer thereto will
determind the complexion of the legis-
latiOn for which they will ask. The
following is an epitome of their action:
"The Convention decided that it was
of the first and utmost Importance
that legislation be procured to have all
records of plats and field notes kept in
the office of the County Surveyor,
and that record be kept of all sur
veys, whether official or otherwise.
They urged, also the necessity of hav-
ing all the deeds submitted to the Coun-
ty Surveyor for inspection of descrip-
tiOns before transfer, and that all
changes from original lines be entered
on plan or plans kept by him for that
purpose. The equalization of fees of
County Surveyors, to make them COM
to fees of other county Off |
GERS for similar work, is prayed for,
and that the County Surveyor be en-
DlOyed by the County Commissioners
and Courts for all surveying, if he is

Guide ROnrdn.

We wish to call theattentiOn of town
ship trustees in the several townships
of this county to the fact that section
1874 of the revised code provides as fol-
lows:
" The township trustees shall cause
to be erected and kept in repair, at the
expense of the township, at all such
forks and crossroads as are kept in re-
pair for general public travel, and lead
to some village, depot or other import
ant public place, post and guide board
containing an inscription in legible let
ters directing the way and distance to
the village or public place or places
situate on each of such roads,"
This is the law of the State, and it
will be observed that 1t is made impera-
tive on the trustees of townships to
erect these guide boards. But it is a
duty that is unpardonably neglected in
our county, as any one who travels
through the county will learn to his
sorrow, especially when he comes to
the forks of road, and, after having
travelled a mile or so, finds that he has
travelled on the wrong road and has to
about face and retraCe his steps. We
nope that the trustees of the several
ownships in our county will take i'm
Mediate steps to fulfil this important
portion of their official duty, and |
hereby save great amount of mental
on the part of those who
nay travel the wrong road because
here is nothing at the forks or crossings
o indicate the right track.

Garfield pronOunces for Sherman. A
letter from the Senator elect to mem
Der of the Ohio Senate, which is print
ed in our telegraphic columns, takes
strong ground in favor of the nomina-
tion Of Sherman by the Chicago con-
VentiOn. The friends of the Secretary
at Columbus regard this letter as the
keynote of the Sherman canvass, which
they believe will soon draw into it
many prominent men who have not yet
been willing to publicly declare them
selves. A meeting Of Sherman men
for organization is to be held in Column
bus soon. Cincinnati Gazette.

A CRUSADE against tobacco has been
inaugurated in 0berlin, Ohio. The
principal interest Of the town is the COL
lege, and the citizens spare no effort to
keep temptations to form evil habits
away from the students. They allow no
saloons in Oberlln, and the college rules
forbid the use of tobacco by the stu
dents. Some Of the stores of the town.
however, are wicked enough to sell to-
bacco, and recently 1t was reported that
a store was TO be opened there for the
exclusive sale of tobacco. This was
enough to arouse the town to arms, and
public meeting was called to take ac-
ton against the threatened evil. The
meeting was largely attended, and
speeches were made by the ministers,
professors and prominent citizens, and
the effect Of the meeting was rather dis
couraglng to the new business enter
prise. The heading Of the handblll
calling the meeting read as follows:
$500 lbs. Of snuff, 100000 cigars and
six tons OF tobacco reported as sold a
year In 0berlin. Most profitable busi-
ness IN town for the men who gather
the savings OF boys and workingmen.
A school Of lOafers opposite the public
schools, where little children are drawn
into the l0athsome habit. A new tObac-
co store soon to be opened. All citizens
who have the welfare ofthe community
at heart are called to assemble IN mass
meeting at the First Church, Tuesday
evening, January 10, 1880, at o'clock,
when an alarming statement Of facts

TUESDAY MoRN1NG. IAN. IA


At the last session of the Genera
Assembly, which was intensely O'Con
nerish, bill was passed which gave t.
the chief engineer Of the Board O
Public Works of the State a vote in al
matters connected with the employ
ment of resident engineers, collectors
of tolls, superintendent of repairs and
other subordinate employees, thus vir-
tually adding fourth member to the
Board of Public Works, in violation OF
the Constitution, which provides for
but three, to be elected by the people of
the State at large. This was political
trick Of the Democratic party to secure
majority Of Democrats on the board.
Colonel Entrekin, Senator from Ross
and Highland, introduced bill to re-
peal section 1867 of the revised code,
which contains this Objectionable pro-
vision. The bill came up in the House
yesterday afternoon on its third read
ing. The Democrats bounced it with
great partisan energy, and lively dis
cussion was the result, led, on the part
Of the Democrats, by Hon. Mr.. Bloom,
of Richland, and Mr.. Marsh. 1t was
defended by Mr.. Townsend, one of the
ablest debaters on the Republican side
of the House. After quite an extended
discussion this relict of Democratic
legislation for partisan uses was stricken
from the statutes Of the State by party |
vote, except that Hon, Mr.. Reed (Dem.) }, |
Of Ross, voted for the repeal.
The bill for the purpose of giving
The people Of Fayette county the right
10 elect turnpike suporintendents In
Zach township, and putting the turn
pixies under the control of the trustees
md turnpike superintendents, passed
is third reading in the House yesterday
afternoon without a dissenting vote,

ow.
A daring highway robbery was per-
Detrated in this city on Saturday even
ng last, little before ten o'clock,
pon the Mayor of the city as he was
n his way home. The robbers had
themselves behind the COL {
mns Of the Episcopal Church, on the
Orner of Broad and Third streets, and
,hen the Mayor came along they !
lmped in front of him, and one of them i
resented pistol to his head and Or 9
cred him to be still, while the other =
elieved him of fine gold watch and t
lain, worth 5000, and his pocket book, I
ontaining some money and valuable Q
Apers, and then made off at a high s
tie of speed. Two men were arrested h
4 suspicion of having committed the s
'bbery, but were discharged yester- D
ny morning, the evidence against L
lem being insufficient to hold them. q

A MAN named William Nottingham
surrendered himself voluntarily to the
police authorities in Milwaukee last
week, saying he had killed man in
Norfolk, Va, six years ago, and wanted
to be sent there and punished for his
crime. He said the face of his victim
had haunted him ever since he COM
mltted the murder, and he could not
live anywhere in peace with his con-
science.

THE Maine fuslonists have got another
decision from the Supreme Court, and
one that will finally settle the trouble
in that State. Their so-called legisla-
ture submitted a set of questions to the
court, asking in substances which of
the two bodies claiming to be the legis-
lature was the legal legislature of the
State. The answer of the court, unan.-
mously, is that the Republican legisla-
ture is the legal Legislature, and the
fuslonlsts are not legal body. The
fuslonist Governor Smith is satisfied.
He says that he believes the controversy
is now ended; that he is tired of play
ing governor, and is going home.
There has been much excitement at the
capital during the past week, with
some warllke demonstrations, and at
times there were fears Of trouble.

They are having something of a war
in Warren county over the question of
removing the Court House from Leba-
non to Morrow. The question of build
ing new Court House for the county
has been agitated for some time past,
and the citizens of Morrow have of
fered to build Court House at that
town by private subscriptions, and free
of cost to the taxpayers, provided the
county seat shall be moved from Leba-
non to Morrow. There is another
to repair the old Court
House at Lebanon, and continue to use
1t. The war between Lebanon and
Morrow is becoming pretty hot,

have undertaken to make 1t hot for the
few negroes who lately arrived from
