sixthly-Eyidsnce arising from
examination. This is the only one
to be depended on, but then it is en-
tirely personal, and can never extend
further than the person who exam
ines; that is, it may appear probable
to me, on examination, that such a
book was written under Gods imme-
diate influence and direction; but if
a book appears to me to be probably
diyinely revealed, this is no reason
why another person should believe
the same, or that it should appear to
him in the same light, unless he
likewise find it to be so on his own
examination.

Our Locnl Crops.

The wheat crop in Harrison county this
year is the largest ever produced in the
county, even exceeding the great crop Of
last year. 1t may possibly reach 100000
bushels. The quality is excellent. All
that ia needed now is q few days OF dry
weather TO secure it. Harvest was well in
progress last week, ten days earlier than
last year.-Cddis Republican.
The heavy rains III the early part oil the
week iuteriered very materially with har-
vesting crops. Nearly all the wheat in
this section has been cut, and fears are
entertained for It's safe preservation. The
crop is an excellent one, not only here,
but all over this country, as well as in Eu-
rope. We may, therefore, confidently ex-
pecNto have Hour at reasonable figures
this lall.-Pan Handle ,yelrs.
Our sdvices from Washington county,
Pa, and from all the adjacent country on
both sides Of the river, indicate that the
wheat crop will be very large. Mr..
Carothers, Of Taylorstown, informs us
that his crop will run thirty bushels to
the acre. The corn crop is also very far
advanced for the season, and never prom
ised better. Oats will be very nearly a
full crop, while hay will be from one.half
TO two.thirds Of cop.

Judge R. P. RAnney, the most eminent

BelIaire, wheeling and The TariG

ANAaeAAS AAsSfNs.--
A protective tariff has caused the i'm
mense growth during the last twenty years
in the iron and glass trades and manuiac-
ture in this part OF the country. In the
past ten years it has doubled the popula-
lion OF Bellaire and added more than one
third to the population Of Wheeling, and
caused large increase in other cities
along the Ohio river; 1t has stimulated ev-
cry branch Of business, not excepting the
agricultural interest. Now the people are
asked TO, by their votes, declare, that a
tariff for revenue only is needed. Should
a majority Of the people so decide, we
have no doubt that the European manu-
featuring interests and European mechan.
les would be largely benefited, but the
effect II would have on our own manufac-
turing interest and the paid for labor is
worth the careful consideration OF all the
people in this community.

There is but little TO say in regard to the
wool business In Brooke county. Since
our last issue, several eastern buyers have
been here, among whom might be men:

demanding fifty cents. And holders oil

seem determined not to sell under that
figure. As consequence, 1t might be
said there is nothing whatever doing In

Whatever else the Democratic victory
may mean. it certainly means this.
1t matters very little to the National
Democracy whether the Democratic
Governor has been elected, or has been
defeated by few hundred votes. The
party triumph is unquestioned. and
Maine no longer heads the column of
assured Republican States. For quar-
ter Of a century Maine has held its post
in the vanguard of the Republican
army almost unchallengeh. Its defec.
