HANCOCK'S Louisiana record: Null
ilicatiOn of acts of Congress, he was
sworn to enforce, to suit his own mo-
tiOns and those of A. johnson and
their masters, the Solid SOuth.-[Ak-
ron Beacon.
Then, Radical Congress had enact
ed that the people of that district
should be denied the principals of
American liberty, which Hancock de-
clared were the lawful right of that
people and ever should be. They had
denied the people the right of trial by
jury, the writ of habeas corpus, the
liberty of the press, the freedom of
speech, the natural rights of persons
and the rights of property. 1t was
these which General Hancock said
must be preserved and in which the
people must be protected. If Re
publican Congress had by act deprived
the people of these great rights which
the old Barons of England forced King
John to guarantee to the people OF
that country by magma charta at Rup-
nimede over six and half centuries
ago, they did a most villainous and
despOtic act, and for which the party
that justifies them should forever be
deprived of power in this government.

at Rootstown Station, on Sunday
morning, July Is, 1850, at 4 O'Clock
and As minutes, after an illness OF
about two weeks, in the 54th year of

ty-four years, four children being the
fruits on that union, viz: Mrs. Curtis
Smith, of Rootstown, Ansel A. Belts,
of Alliance, and Nora Belts and War
rem Belts residing at the paternal

acquaintance. Her death has cast q
shadow of gloom not enly in her own
household and among her relatives,
but over the entire nefghborhood in
which shes lived But they mourn

mother, rest.

base Ballin Ravcnna.

For the past two or three seasons
there has been some interest manifest.
ed in base ball matters here, but fol
want of management and activity
such interest has lain dormant. This
season the matter has been taken up
in a different manner, and indications
are that we will have 4 flrst.class nine.
A few days since gentleman started
the ball rolling, and as result nearly
one hundred dollars have been sub
scribed by business men and others,
10 meet the preliminary expenses OF
the Club.
The Club as selected consists of
Lockwood, Mum and Cole. of last
years Garrettsyilles; Griswold of the
Windsors, and Brown, Peckinpaugh.
Wagner, Bsldauf, Trpley and Zim-
norman, of local players.
AS pitcher, Lockwood is unques-
tionably one of the best-if not the
best-amateur in the State. Griswold
has fine record as a catcher and bats
man. The rest of the Club will sup
port them fully, and taken as a whole,
we confidently believe that no strong
er Club will exist in Northern Ohio.
The game has become very popular
in all localities, and no reason exists
why Ravenna should not become one
of its foremost admirers.
All the Club needs is the encour-
agement and support of our citizens,
and we believe they will receive it.
A meeting for complete organization
will be held at the Office of M. w.

To tho Inha habitants Of tho Villages OF
Kent, Sha1ersville. GarrettsviIle,
Mantua Station, Mantua Center,
Aantua Corners and Palmyra.
There has been stopping in Ravenna
at the Etna House, DIR. Franks, the
famous Occulist Optician, of the New
York Opthalmic Hospital, Lecturer on
the Eye, and inventor of great i'm
provement in Spectacle Lenses.
This gentleman has been supplying
nearly all our spectacle wearing popu-
lation with his Improved Spectacles,
which he adjusts to the vision with
skill and ability, with the first pair he
tries, from an examination of the eye
alone, SO perfectly that he has received
many testimonials from those using
them, speaking in the highest praise.
Amongst them we have seen testimo-
mails from DIR. WaggOner, DIR. Leonard,
DR.. Alcorn, and DIR. Belden, of Raven
ma; and in Kent, others from DIR.
Sherman and DIR. Shively-men well
versed on the anatomy of the eye, and
on the use of Spectacles.
Many people in the villages of this
County have written to DIR. Franks to
visit their places, and he has determin-
ed to do so, professionally, and bring
with him a stock of his valuable Spec
tacles, SO that the villages may have
an opportunity of obtaining them. and
having their eyes examined and suited
perfectly.
The villages DIR. Franks will visit
are Kent, Mantua Station, Mantua
Corners, Mantua Center, Shalersville,
Garrettsville, and Palmyra. He will
stay in each place only long enough to
supply its residents with his Spectacles.
That this is an excellent opportunity
of getting the best of Spectacles and
advice, will not be questioned. It is q
chance that may never occur again.
So it would be well for those needing
optical aid to be on the watch for his
visit-which will occur during next
week, or the beginning of the week
after-and not regret missing to do SO.
when the opportunity is over. stSl
DIR. Franks has been very successful
here, and given the most complete sat
isfaction to all who use his Lenses.
Each village will be notified by cir
culars of DIR. Franks arrival.

too much rain. The Pacific states re-
port a very high condition.
WHEAT.-The general average of

Three weeks more will complete the
twelfth volume of the DEMOCRATIC

that time those in arrears will come
forward and pay up their Indebtedness.
1t is absolutely indispensable that
they shall do so as a change will take
place in the paper, and we must start
out on the new year unembarrassed
with debts which we have been COM
PEELED to carry simply because those
who owe us have neglected to pay.
And we ask all those who can make
it convenient to do so to pay for the
coming year in advance, which will
enable us to make some desired i'm
provements in the paper and add to
its interest
