one of the foremost of living nOvelists,
and his new story will he followed with
eager attention by a multituvde of read
ers. Col, L. w. Higginson writes "a
Search for the Pleiades,' a charming out
door essay on New Hampshire mountain

Concord School of Philosophy in paper
entitled philosophy and Apples" Prof.
Shaler of Harvard treats the Future of

the Tyler administration. L. B. Aldrich
contributes the "Jew's Gift" striking

LAST week we neglected to make
mention of the splendid Republican
meeting held in this place on the Friday
evening prior to the election. 1t was on
the occasion of the first appearance of
Congressman Updegraff before St.
Clairsville audience. Republican meet
ings are seldom held in this place owing
to the fact that our friends of the oppo-
site persuasion predominant largely in
this township. The audience which
gathered on this occasion to greet Mr..
Updegraff, not only sustained the man.
agement in making the appointment, but
was high personal compliment to our
member of the Attn Congress. Suffice it
to say tnat the meeting was the largest
Court House meeting held by either par
ty for fifteen years. 1t was presided
over by Capt. Peter Tallman, who, upon
taking the chair, threw few solid
"chunks" of wisdom out into the audi
ence. Mr.. Updegraff being introduced,
proceeded TO make one of the most pow
erful and convincing speeches ever de-
livered in this place. 1t abounded in
solid facts, incontrovertible logic, and
irresistible conclusions. 1t was not al
together a dry political speech either,
but was dotted with telling witticisms
which provoked much merriment. Never
was so much enthusiasm awakened by
any speech in this place for years as
was shown on this occasion.

-Thanks!
BARNEsvILLE. O., Oct. Is, 1ss

BARNESYILLE, u, Oct. 10, 1880.
EDITOR E-Permit me
through the columns of your paper to
extend my sincere thanks to the many
personal and political friends who have
so unselfshly devoted themselves to my
interests as nominee of the Republi-
can party in the present campaign.
Though at the risk of making an inno-
walton upon the established customs of
political etiquette, permit me also to
extend my thanks to the Democratic
press of the county for the personal
courtesy with which l have been treat
ed, and to the many Democratic voters
who gave me their support at time
when party lines were more closely
drawn than was ever before known, per-
haps, in the history of the county. OF
the Republican "scratchers" to whom
am indebted for my defeat, have only
to say that their course is, in the main;
consistent. They do not appear to want
"a change" and they cannot be greatly
blamed for carrying this great National
principle into local politics. 1 feel as
sured that personal matters had but.lit-
tie to do with tie result, but that all
were actuated by desire to promote the
best interests of the county; and per-
haps they were right-my opponent had
been tried, and they could not be seri-
ously wrong, Truly yours,
T, W, EMERSON.

Iron Cify College,

But few persons comparatively. are
aware of the facilities afforded by this
institution for preparing young men for
active business life. We presume there
is not another institution in the United
States that offers equal inducements in
the way of acquiring Il thorough practi-
cal business education. The principal,
Prof. J. C. Smith, is one of the most
thorough and best known educators in
the country, and his assistants are all
well qualified and thoroughly trained
teachers. The college rooms surpass in
neatness and elegance anything we have
ever seen in the way of school accom-
odationS.-Pittsburgh Daily Post, 18th

sirous of preparing themselves for bust
ness, to call on or write to Prof. Smith
for circulars containing full infOrma-
ton.

INDIA-Rev. j. NJ. Thoburn, d. D.,
who went from this town twenty-one
years ago missionary to India, and
who has been spending the summer in
this country, delivered lecture in the
NJ. E. Church Monday evening, on India
and its people. DR.. Thoburn stated, in
commencing, that he would deliver
fireside talk, instead of a formal address,
and then for about one hour and half
be talked in his entertaining way about
that historic country and its people. The
talk, for such it was, was closely listen
ed to and made deep impression upon
his hearers. DR.. Thoburn now has charge
of a flourishing congregation in the city
of Calcutta, a city as large as Chicago
and Cincinnati combined, and breaches
to congregation of about twelve hun
dred people. He is an earnest and sim
cere man, and, listening to him, the wri-
ter was more than ever convinced of the
tremendous job these devoted men and
the churches who sustain them have un-
dertaken in christianiZing this cradle of
the christian religion.

BRIDGEPORT.

FLAG PREsENTATION.-Th Republi-
can ladies of Bridgeport, inspired by the
stirring scenes of the hour, gave express
sion to their enthusiasm last Saturday,
in the presentation of beautiful flag
each to the white and colored clubs. The
occasion was regular hallelujah jollifi-
cation over Ohio and Indiana, and
though but family affair-t the clubs of
adjoining places being engaged at HON e
was a rouser. The flags were the
same old starry banner, under which, ,and
in defense of which, the Republican par
ty has always marched. They were
beautiful and costly their stars as bright
and their stripes as brilliant as the hap
py smiles that Illuminated the faces of
the fair donors.
The young ladies also came up, anima-
ted by the same spirit of their elder
sisters, and made and presented one of
the most beautiful banners we have ev
er seen, all the result of their own patr l.
otic hearts and willing hands. At an
early hour all the clubs turned out in
force, with a big crowd besides, and
formally received their gifts. The flag
to the white club was presented by J. M.
Todd, and received by Capt. McCOn-
naughey. The one to the colored club
was presented by f. G. Robinson, in a
very neat and appropriate speech, and as
eloquently received by Capt. Hollister,
on the part of the club. Jake Kemple,
of Moundsville, W. Va, being present
was asked to, and presented the banner
to the young mems club. Jake was fell
citous in his speech, and he was rrspOn-
luA TO Inv n low in u
little speech as it was ever our good for
tune to hear. The Etnaville club was
was also present, and our ladies would
only have been too glad to have made it
the recipient of flag also, but the en-
terprising ladies of that gallant place,
had already anticipated their effort by
having one in process of preparation for
their own club, which will be formally
presented next Saturday evening, at Et-
naville, at jollilication meeting up
there. Let all turn out, and give the
boys up there hearty send off. They
deserve it, for no nobler Republicans
live than they. After the presentations
the column took up the line of march
through the town, and nowhere in this
campaign, has there been more enthu-
siastic dispiay-contrasting, like light
with darkness and gloom, with the sor-
rowful and lonely effort at the Demmies
few nights before. The town was
brilliantly illuminated, and the boys
made the welkin ring with their shouts
Of victory.
A contemplate gang. who are well
known, fair representatives of the Dem.
ocratic party, sneaked into the premises
of Republicans on the march, and stole
the flags and ornaments. The scoundrels
are known, and an attempted repetition
if the law is not enforced for the past
outrage, they may rest assured of taste
of their pet shotgun policy"-and don't
you forget it.

officers certified one too many votes for
Mr. Dixon for Recorder, and twenty less
for Mr.. Hobbs than he was entitled to-

THE Gazette AYERS that the lavish use
of money by the Republicans is what
cooked the Democratic goose in Belmont
county. We aver that the Democratic
Committee had two dollars for campaign
expenses to every one under the control
of the Republican Committee. Nearly
$1,000 was received by the local Demo
cratic committee from abroad, and be-
tween 5000 and 800 was assessed on To-
cal candidates. A pretty set of fellows,
indeed, to talk about Republican cor
