The Election,

The regularly nominated Republican
tickets in Union township and the cor
poratiOn were pretty badly defeated on
Tuesday. In the township the Demo
Gratis have two Trustees, Clerk and As
SCISSOR, and the Republicans one Trustee,
Treasurer and the two Constables. The
Republican candidate for Treasurer
had no opposition, and the Trustees are
the old board reelected over the regu-
larly nominated ticket. Union town
ship is Republican by 100 majority, or
more, and the Republicans can easily
carry it against Democratic ticket.
The Democracy are sensible enough
not to nominate party ticket, and
make political fight, as that would en-
sure the defeat of their ticket. Their
plan is to get upoa mixed ticket, which,
being in opposition to the regular Re-
publican ticket, can secure the solid
Democratic vote, and yet has enough
Republicans on it to draw some Repub-
licans who are disposed to be liberal in
voting for candidates for the minor
offices, from the support Of the regular
ticket. With light vote, hard work
by the Democracy and lack of the
same on the part of the friends Of the
regular ticket, they have been pretty
successful at the late election.
In the corporation there was heavy
vote, and the citizens ticket--composed
principally of Democrats-was elected,
with the exception of one Councilman,
over the Republican ticket. The fight
was for the offices of Mayor and Mar
shal, and the result, so far as the cleo
tlOn of Mayor was concerned, at least,
was not much of a surprise to anyone.
The Republican ticket was a good one,
but it failed to receive the united sup
port of the party-many Republicans
voting and working for Mr.. Barclay
from personal considerations. The at
tempt to make party issuei in this cleo
tiOn was certainly failure, but we are
far from admitting that the result
would have been different had a law
and-order ticket been nominated. Mr..
Barclay received the support of many
law-and-Order men, and would have re-
ceiVed 1t against any nominee.

An AddItlonnI Judge.

Senator Creamer's bill, authorizing
the election Of an additional Judge Of
the Common Pleas Court in this, the
second subdivision of the fifth judicial
district, passed and became a law last
week. The extra judge will be elected
at the next October election. AS each
Of the other counties in the subdivision
has a resident judge-Mlnshall in Ross
and Steele in Hlghland--the ezra Judge
is conceded to Fayette, and the candl-
date presented by Fayette will, without
doubt, be made the nominee of the con-
vention.

From all accounts given us there is
no spot on earth that has been so often
the theater Of conflict and desOlatlon as
in and around Jerusalem. During the
siege the number that perished by
sword, famine and pestilence was ], 1857, =
400; besides a vast multitude that died
in the caves, woods, wilderness, sewers
and many other ways, of whom no COM
putation could be correctly made. The
city Of Jerusalem was firstnamed Salem,
and when David took it from Jebus, 1t
was then called Jerusalem. And was
preserved for many years, and it was
finally destroyed by the BabylOnians
and Romans. From It's first building
till the last destruction by Titus was
two thousand one hundred and seventy
seven years,

The next session of the General Con-
ference of the M. e. Church will take
place at Cincinnati in May next. This
General Conference meets only once in
four years, and deep interest in its
session throughout the different con-
ferences is of general concern and i'm
portance, it being the supreme legis-
lative, judicial and executive authority
OF the entire body of one of the largest
denominations in the United States.
There will be nine bishops, twenty fra
ternal visitors and about four hundred
delegates in attendance. The Com
mittee on Finance stated that about
$3, 800 would be needed to meet the cash
expenses of the General Conference.
Rev. j. N. Irwin, formerly of Lebanon
Station, is the corresponding secretary.

Local Option.

According to the decision of the Dis
trict Court now sitting, town councils
have the authority to pass ordinances
to prohibit the sale of liquor to be
drank on the premises. Several months
ago the town council of WesterVille
passed an ordinance to prohibit the
sale of liquor. Proceedings were
brought against Ford and Green, two
saloonists, for violating the ordinance,
and the men were fined by Mayor Alex
ander. The cases were brought to the
Common Pleas Court on error, and the
judgment Of the magistrate was af-
firmed. The cases were then taken to
the District Court, where the same were
heard, and the judgment of the Court
below was atfirmed.-O. S. Journal.

A Pennsylvania doctor, says an ex-
change, claims to have discovered a GER
tain and sure cure for consumption in
the form of a crude petroleum, admin
istered in small quantities. He claims
that out of twenty-five cases of we'll
marked tuberculosis so treated, twenty
are, to all means of diagnosis cured (;
the rest have been materially benefited,
more than four months. The nausea
attending the use of ordinary crude Pc
troleum led him to adopt the seml-solid
oil that forms on the tubing of wells.
This made into from three to five grain
pills by Incorporating an inert Yegeta-
BILE powder, was administrated from
three to five times day in one-pill
doses. The first effect, he says, is the
disappearance of the cough; night
sweats are relieved, appetite Improves,
and weight Is rapidly gained. These
favorable symptoms continue until the
patient is entirely recovered. If half
the claims put forward by this disciple
Of Esculapius be we'll founded, he has,
indeed, made valuable scientific dis
cOyery.

TIE County Auditors Of the State
will meet at Columbus on the 10Th inst,
on the call of the Auditor Of State, for
conference ia regard to the presentreal
estate appraisement. The Auditor OF
State, In his note to County Auditors,
calling the meeting, says: "The indi-
cations are that there will be no uni
formlty Of values, either In counties &s
compared with each other, or with diff
ferent sections OF the State" As Coun-
ty Boards Of Equalization cannot either
raise or lower the aggregate valuation
Of real estate, as returned by the ap7
praisers, and the State Board Of Equalil
zatlon has power only to raise or lower
the valuation returned by counties to
the limit Of 12H per cent, 1t is of great
Importance to secure somethingslike
uniformity In the valuation made by
appraisers over the State. Otherwise
the burden Of taxes may be very un-
equally distributed.

Whining life.

A romance Of mining life comes from
Santa Cruz, near the Patagonia mines,
on the line which cuts the United States
from the Mexican province of Sonora.
Since the establishment of the Pata-
gonia, it has been found necessary to
protect Santa Cruz from the Apache
Indians, and cavalry now take care that
the surrounding country shall not be
molested. But Santa Cruz has wild
history. Along the Pacific coast it is
known as "the indestructible Santa
Cruz" There is not a family in the
town that has not lost a father, mother,
brother or sisters. When one Edurado
Garcia saw that the place hereafter
would have protection, he left Santa
Cruz few weeks ago for the Apache
country to seek his brothers and sisters
who had been carried away into cap
tlvity. He found that one of the broth
ers and one Of the sisters had died, but
the others were living. Both had mar
ried among the Apaches, and, in an
swer to the prayers of Edurado that
they should return with him to Santa
Cruz they pointed towards their dusky
and shook their heads,

At the recent session of the Ohio
Democratic Committee there was a
good deal of lively talk, and at least
one outbreak of virgin truth. A mo-
ton had been made that reporters be
excluded, in order that there might be
an unfettered exchange Of views on the
condition and needs Of the party. One
member remarked with considerable
warmth that the Democracy had no Sc
crets it would be ashamed to see in the
newspapers. This excited the disgust
of a Cleveland member, who sprang to
the front with this counterblast: {:
"That will do very well to talk about,
but / have come here to talk business.
We can talk and blow about reforms
and all sorts Of good things, but the at
tempts at reform by the Democratic
party for the past fifteen or sixteen
years have been ID fiat failures. I
don't believe in mincing matters, and l
don't propose to have everything may
have to say given out by these news
paper reporters"

Census Frauds.

Not long since the Senate passed an
act TO amend the census law, in order
to prevent frauds in enumeration
There are strong temptations to commit
such frauds, particularly in the South,
in order to increase Congressional rep
resentation. This bill provided that
each enumerator should file in the Of
flee Of the County Clerk list Of the
names Of all persons enumerated by
him, their age, sex, residence, etc., for
public inspection. and that he should
give public notice that he would receive
corrections Of this list. In case of dis
pute, the bill authorized him to investi-
gate, and swear and examine witnesses,
In order to secure an accurate enumera-
tion. This bill has been acted on by
the House committee, which has stricken
out this safeguard and leaves the cen
sus taking open to fraud.

An ECCENTRIC Prince. .

The Prince Paul Demidof', whose
pictures have been selling in Florence
for so many thousands of dollars-more
than $500, 900 the proceeds are already
is Russian nobleman thirty-nine years
old. One of his ancestors received a
grant Of land from Peter the Great,
which turned out to abound in mines
of malachite, iron and brass. Paul, the
heir of his uncle, Prince Anatole Demi-
dotf (who died in Paris in 1870, went
to Paris in 1858, gave famous suppers
and did eccentric deeds, married in
1867 the Princess Metchierski, settled
down quietly in a fine hotel, lost his
wife and his senses, too, almost, for
grief, went to Russia, became Governor
of Kieff, departed for Italy, taking with
him a second wife, the Princess Lise
TrubetskOi, and established himself in
the San Donate Palace, in Florence,
where his uncle had lived. After de-
voting the last ten years to increasing
the number of art treasures of the pal
ace, he is said to have become tired of
them and Of it. So he is selling both,
in order that he may have the pleasure
of forming another collection. This,
at least, is the Paris gossip on the sub
iect, and may be taken for what it may
be worth. The sum of $42, 900 was
given the other day for Hobbema's
landscape, "The Windmills," and not
for Terburg's " Portrait of a man," as
enormously reported by cable. The
latter work brought only $2,780.
