ACOTCm RIDGE ITEMS.

This place exhibited its usual amount OF en-.
terprise in attending the Centennial Sunday
School pic mic at Portage on last Wednesday.
The delegation from this place consisted cf
Eve 4.horse conveyances aud about II vehicles
OF lesser dimensions, all OF which we're well
laden with a very merry crowd OF both old
and young. The picnic and all Of It's deIibers-
tions we're simply immense, aud all seemed to
heartily enjoy the occasion, especially the noon
recess. To see that immense crowd all seated
upon mother earth aud to behold the dainty
viands, the fruits OF culinary sci.nce, that were
spread before all, was a sigh. that would tend
to make hungry school boy smile out loud.
or Thursday morning the news Of the very
une expected marriage Of ChNuacey Murch to
Miss Amelia Garfield was heraldsd Abroad.a
proved TO be an entire surprise to almost every
body. The hsppy couple have since been re-
ceivng the congratulations Of their hosts oi
friends. Miss @. was one Of the most cherished
youHg ladies Of the place, cultivated, refined
and possessed Of rare personal attractions. Mr.
Murch Is very highly esteemed here, both on
account Of his accom- pIish ments and also Of his
untirng zOal as an earnest worker in whatever
tends 10 enhance the interest and elevate the
cause Of humanity. THIS union meets with
the hearty approval o: the entire community
a circumstances which seldom occurs in any
place.
POLITICAL.
Would Il not be profitable idea for the Dem
ocratic party Of Wood county to kdnap and
carry out Of the ountrylourDemocratic "mewP'
FREUD from the north end OF this township, for
the hinderance he is becoming to the party :
For example, he contributed 20 late issue OF
tile B. G. Democrat most shameless and SLAM
derous attack upon the per'onal character OF
Hugh Stewart. The article savOrs strongly OF
the author aud Is an array of false assertions
that are obnoxious to the sense OF candid men,
and to use the language of scores OF Democrats
! If this township, " Rnbt. Is merely committing
| political suicide, aud is doing Hugh an untold
amount Of good." Just SO. Hugh enjoys too
| good a reputation fnr competency, honor and
! uprig htness to be Effected by such an exhibits. N
| OF ign france and fRlsehoOd. Just as told you
a few weeks ago. Republican candidates are
| too large game to be affected by Democratic
arp-guus charged with rebel ammunition You
pre- OF too small calibre, gentlemen, and you
| shoot ton low.
The Democratic Convention is over, which
simply means that another ratchet Is added to
the wheel Of Republican progress. The degree
of unfairuess exhibited by the Democrats in
their choice for commissioner was clearly stu
pendous. There is said to be honor among
thieves but fail to discern any in this case
where among the entire list OF candidates there
was but one who nobiy and 6ravely shouldered
his musket and marched forward t. deadly
contest against his countries foes; who left his
home and said good bye to loved and cherished
friends and sped at his c0untry's call to defend
the homes Of northern traitors and dastardly
cowa rds, who now assert their right to tue pref
erence Of the penl'ls for positions of honor and
public trust. The man in question was Esq
Brown, of Bellevile RIDGE, pleasant and af.
fable gentleman, possessed Of fine accomplish
ments aud admirable ability, man whom tht
Democrats should feel justly proud because ol
their having 50 very few men of that character
in their party. The means used in the con ven
tioH To defeat Mr.. Brown in the nomination fo
Commissioner, and the measures used ia nom
mating VIM. Roller were to say the least, low
aud c,ntsmptible,in keeping with the workings o
that party. Nevertheless | am T, jiced to learI
from Jim's own lips that he has conclgded ii
lu;urs to vote as he fought and To use his inhu
ence and ability in party that will appreciate
his endeavors and recognize his valor as an ex
soldier. That's right Jim, come out OF tha
party. They dOu't want you fur two reasons
The lst is because they don't have any use 4"
inte lligence, aud the I'd is because you iwere
BOy in Blue. ALLsPIcE.
