/. The Liberty was towed from our
yharf by the John Hanna, on Satur-
day morning, for the Docks at Point
Pleasant.
The Hartford City eoalfand Salt
company's stave machine cut $780,
600 pieces of slaves in the month Of
March. Mr.. R. L. Winkleblack SUI
perintends the mill and knows how
to make it pay.
Mr., John Morrison, who has been
absent for some time, teaching in Ar.
buckle District, came home on Sat-
urday, and reports having had a
very pleasant session.
Mr.. Travellick addressed the citi-
zens Of Hartford City, Wednesday
evening, on the labor question; and
while we do not propose to critiEise
or comment on the speech we Kill
simply say it is a very bad speech
indeed if there be no good in it at all.
| think he made some very good
points, and some in which we could
not agree with the gentleman. l
have no doubt at all but that the
laboring classes in some countries
are fearfully oppressed, and doubtless
to some extent in many places in
this country. But when a man adj
vocates the placing Of all men in a
property sense upon an equality, he
most certainly advocates condition
of things that never has been done,
nor never can be. 1t is utter folly.
You might just as well say that all
men shall be equally endowed with
brain, muscle, bone and sinew, and
none but a fool will contend for
this. ].
One of the severest storms Of wind,
rain and hail, accompanied by ter
rife thunder and lightning, passed
over this latitude last Sunday morn
Ing. The storm began about mid
night and continued to rain with
little interruption till daylight. A
great many trees, and some fencing
were blown down, and the small
streams were all out of bank Sunday
morning; all together doing consid-
cradle damage. No lives lost SO far
as we know.
Our young friend, DIS. Snyder, the
enterprising tanner of this city, re-
ceived an order last week, from a
firm in Denver, Colorado, for leather,
and be shipped about $500 worth to
them per steamer Pittsburgh last
Thursday. Thus you see our bust
ness relations are spreading out.

trict, an exhibition will be given,

logues, poetical rehearsals, essays &c.

This is the season of the year when
all the cellars should be dried and
drains opened out, and places where
water stands filled up, and in fact ev-
cry precaution taken to prevent dis
ease of any kind from making an in
vasion of our town.
Prof. Kenny's select school opened
well, and we have quite number of
gentlemenly young men and intelli-
gent young ladies, from different
parts of the country, in attendance;
some who have been here before.
