The demoraiized Democracy Of this city
and county held a county convention a
the court house, in this city, on Monday
last, and it turned out to be the most tur
bulent, inharmonious convention evel
held in the city by any party. Formerly
the party has been run by q "ring," com
posed OF Fl. H. McFadden, OF the Gatete
D. McConville and others. They have al
ways had their own way, but some OF the
others wanted to see change this time
They saw It. But the way the "ring'
kicked was caution.

Steubenville lacks all the time, but as 1t is

public good and comfort we feel called
upon TO announce that, until you come to
the wooden walk near the trough, the
pavement, or ground measured off for
one, over which loot passengers are
obliged to stumble, Is disgrace to the
city. Full OF ruts, stones sticking up, and
every other obstacle imaginable, it Is al
most impossible to walk over 1t without
wrenching foot or stumbling. AS for
the cenetary itself We have nothing to
say, as the briars and other eye sores
speak for themselves. ~ @ 49,
