ONLY few days since and the chron-

meadows. His oats could not be har-
vested with tweezers, no matter how
soon rain would come. The cut-worms
and dry weather had totally blasted even
a prospect for corn. Wool appeared to
be dropping back in price every day.
Potato bugs had cleaned up his patch,
and were now roosting on the fences,
looking for more vines to devOur. The

Strawberries, cherries and small fruits
were cooked on the vines. Now the rain

rains have come, and no doubt will rust
and ruin his wheat crop. Many fields
are fiattened and tossed so that the crop
must be lost. The roads and cornfields
are washed the worst ever known.
What corn and potatoes he had left
must now be taken possession of by
weeds, since it is too wet to work and
cultivate them. And thus it goes. We

The 9TH Census District.

The work of taking the census is now
fairly in progress throughout this dis
trict, and, we presume, in all the census
districts of the country. The appoint
ments for this district were approved by
telegram from Superintendent Walker
on Saturday. In the meantime port
fOlios, containing the blanks to be used
by enumerators, were rapidly gotten to-
gether ready for the mails, and on Satur-
day and again on Monday very large
mails were sent off to the twelve
counties composing the district. -Four
separate packages had to be put up for
each enumerator, one package contain
ing ten or twelve different papers, and
others from four to six each. Monday
morning a dray load of mail was sent
via the Baltimore & Ohio road west, and
a very large amount to the Panhandle
road, at Wheeling, by omnibus. The
large amount of work necessary to pre-
pare such immense mails, in such short
time, and the further work of eXamin-
ing and answering the large correspon-
dence of the office, can scarcely be ,ap-
preciated by persons who know nothing
about it, and it is altogether likely many
mistakes were made in the hurry, al
though very few are yet developed.
The district is composed of the coun-
ties of Athens, Belmont, Coshocton,
Guernsey, Harrison, Jefferson, Monroe.
Morgan, Muskingum, Noble, Perry and
Washington. With the exception of
Monroe, all of these counties were visit
ed, the territory in each laid off, and in
quiries made us to the fitness and char
acter of applicants for enumeration The
district was laid off into 241 sub-districts,
in each of which an enumerator was
appointed and commissioned.
Heads of families can help along the
work very greatly by promptly and
cheerfuly answering such questions as
may be put to them by enumerators,
touching the census. The government
has arranged to take the most complete
and accurate census ever taken, ard it is
very desirable, indeed, that all persons
shall cheerfully aid in the work. Many
persons havelerroneous ideas concerning
this matter, and may be disposed to re-
sent the inquiries put to them by the
enumerators. 1t should be borne in
mind that these enumerators are not
tax assessors nor tax inquisitors, and
courtesy should be obseryered and good
nature preserved on both sides.
The blanks in the hands of the emu
merators are complex, and their duties
intricate and difficult, and we assure all
persons who may become vexed at the
questions put to them by enumerators,
that the latter persons will have much
greater cause for vexation than they will.

AT one of the hotels of this place there
is large speckled dog of the pointer
persuasion. He is favorite in the fam
lily and among the boarders, and like
wise has his favorites. He frequently
steals up stairs and takes particular
pains to guard the room of a certain
boarder during the silent watches of the
night. Not long since he was at his
post away up stairs in the darkened hall
way fast asleep. The colored bell man,
as was his custom, very early each
morning took the large breakfast bell
and ratified his way up till he reached
the point guarded by the dog. The
racket so disturbed the canine that he
sprang suddenly to his feet and darted
unseen by the bell man, for the stairway
In his hurry he upset the bell man, when
dog bowling, man yelling and bell rat
Ting, all in mess, cane tumbling down
together. 1t was the most effectual
awakening of boarders and guests that
has taken place in this particular hote
for many years. The dog imagined it a
terrible death to have his brains beaten
out with bell. The man thought al
the ghosts from the three cemeteries haC
conspired to carry him away on theil
spotted wings. The sleepers jumped
from their beds and hurIiedly gathered
together. their revolvers, clothes anC
valuable papers, determined to hold til,

THE Raikes centennial celebration at

was, Notwithstanding the unpropitious
weather, a grand affair. The entire ar
rangements were under the direction Of
A. T. McKelvey, Sup't of Sunday School.
The house was crowded to Overlooking
to witness the exercises. The church
was beautifully decorated, especially
around the pulpit. Suspended from the
ceiling, Immediately over the altar, was
exposed to full view a cross and crown
handsomely arranged and woven from
rare cut flowers. On either side of the
pulpit were grouped together pot and cut
flowers of variegated colors, interviewer
with evergreens and train suspended
from the side-walls-the whole present
ing a grand dsight-rehectiong great credit
upon those who so artistically arranged
them. The exercises were rendered in a
very appropriate and pleasing manner
throughout.

N. Y. Commercial Bulletin of Saturday.
There does not appear to be any great
cnange in the situation, both buyers and
sellers laboring under much doubt and
moving with corresponding caution. All
appear to understand and admit weak
ness in values and the almost certain
slaughter that must follow any move
ment to quicken the sale of supplies just
now, but the evident desire is to let the
shrinkage come as gradually as possible.
as protection not only to the holder of
wool but to the manufacturer with
contracts to meet and more than enough
stock in hand at extreme cost to balance
his wants. In fact, it is dead sort of
market all around, with very little at
tempt made to either buy or sell sup
plies, and operators generally awaiting
developments. The accounts from the
country are still somewhat conflicting,
but the tendency appears to be mainly
in buyers favor. On the Ohio clip the
effort is still to work the rate down to
4Oc. before commencing operations, and
there is prospect of success.
In Kentucky the asking rate is 35c,
and growers are adhering to this pretty
steadily, ,butthe only sales made have been
in the way of a few small lots taken as
a sort of sample purchase. The Cali
fornia and Texas markets are about
steady.

Public School commencement

The commencement exercises of the
st. Clairsville public schools, last Fri.
day, were the NEST interesting and en-.
tertaining in the history of the schools
Superintendent Black and his pupils
had School Hall decked with flowers
the stage carpeted and elegantly furn.
ed, and in other ways made the room
pleasant to look upon.
The hall was packed with people
when the exercises began, and Super.
intendent and pupils must have been
exceedingly gratified to observe that al
remained interested listeners until the
close.
The graduates were: Misses Emma
Woodway, Josie Hewetson, Jennie
Stamp, Martha Anderson, Ella Thor D.
son, and Edward Umstead. The young
ladies read essays on various topics, al
of which were fair, and which generally
exhibited considerable thought and
culture. Mr.. Umstead delivered, in q
creditable manner, an original produc
ton on that mighty subject, "The Press.
Good vocal music interspersed thi:
most delightful commencement in the
history of the school.
State School Commissioner Burns
former superintendent of the school
was present, delivered to the graduate:
their diplomas and made short addres:
to the class, replete with good advice
After the conclusion of the public ex
ercises, the graduating class presented
Superintendent Black with handsome
Bagster Bible, as token of their ap
probation of his patient labors for theil
advancement.
| Among the pleasant incidents of tn,
occasion was the presence of Supt. Duff
of the Bellaire schools, and his senio
class of seven young ladies and gentle
men.
