great success of the wing dam mining
company mining on Salmon river near
Elk creek at Slsarer's ferry. Klippel &

labor in putting wing dam in the river,
have prospered beyond their most san
guine expectations. The first three
wheelharrows of pay dirt yielded sl5 and
81 Zoo was taken out during the next "a

Heretofore, except in one or two in
stances, the gold has been -four gold and
very light. This is the first attempt to
wing dam the river, and being successful,
other enterprises Of like nature will be
undertaken, as the whole river has paid
well for 20 years past from the mouth up
2oO miles 1t is a new era for the coun-

Pleuro-Pneumonia.

Some time since the Governor of Vir-
glnla received communication from the
U. S. Department of Agriculture, en-
curing into the existence of Pleuro-
Pneumonia of Virginia, saying that it
was reported that cases existed in the
State. The Governor referred the com
munlcatlon to me for investigation and
report. Immediately wrote to many
prominent farmers and cattle-breeders
IN different sections of our State, and re-
ceived numerous replies, communicating
the gratifying intelligence that this
disease no where prevailed in our bor-
ders. The last case heard of was in the
dairy of Col. George Johnston, near AL
exandrla, and that was last December.
Farmers Must Look to their interests.
We have said before that farmers
should have more farmers to represent
them in our Legislature, and in our
Congress. Let them attend nominating
conventions and primary elections, and
other things being equal, they should al
ways vote tor farmer in preference to
any lawyer, or doctor, or merchant, or
mechanic. They should send petitions to
Congress and instruct their represen-
tatives to properly support the Agricul-
tural Department of the United States
and to raise the Commissioner of Agri-
culture to the dignity of Cabinet officer.
Why this should not be done, we have
never heard sufficient reason-not even
a plausible reason. We have been told
it would make the office political one;
but it is already political one, in as far
as the Commissioner is always selected
from the dominant party, as constantly
as Secretary of Treasury, War, Navy
State, Post master General, etc.
1t is singular with what indifference
and want of interest the great cause OF
Agriculture is regarded by many-for-
getful for the time, it would seem, that
the farmers support all other interests
the State Government, the City Govern
ments, and the U. S. Government. People
cooped up in cities, and those engaged
IN other pursuits, unless it be commission
merchants, and those who handle farm
products directly, seem to forget their
dependence on farmers, unless some one
occasionally. makes an enquiry about
crops and the drought.
NoTICE.-Persons sending minerals
(which are gladly received) for the State

ten times, in throwing down the rail
and placing them in the fence again
Estimating that hand can reset thirt,
panels of the above described worm fenc,
in day, it would require one hundred
and thirty-six days labor at one doilai
per day, or one hundred and thirty-si
dollars to reset mile Of fence. The ex
pense, therefore, of original construction
and repairs for eighteen years woulo
amount to six hundred and sixty-sevei
dollars and five cents, ($66705,) leavin,
out OF the estimate interest on the invest
ment, which at the end of the first ter
years, at ten per cent, would equal tn,
cost OF construction. This is heav,
expense in order to protect crop on
forty acres of land We will next con
slider the expense on basis of ten rail
to the panel.
No. of rails per mile $40
Value per hundred, $3.50
Total cost per mile, $204.25
1t is the practice of many, who are
considered good and thrifty farmers, to
add one rail per panel on their fences
every year instead of resetting. Under
this rule the original cost and the ex
pense of additional rails in repairs, at
the end of eighteen years, amounts to
five hundred and seventy one dollars
and ninety cents per mile this leaves
a very small balance in favor of the ten
rail fence, while in truth the thirteen
rail fence is the cheaper all the way
through, because it affords ample pro
lection, and will be good fence at the
end of the time. The ten rail fence will
not turn unruly stock, and can be easily
moved by little wind, or water and
at the end of the term, will be so badly
decayed that new fence will be indis-
pensably necessary.

To The Citizens of jackson County Ohio

1t is gratifying to find the people of

fact that merely voting, without knowing the candi-
dates principles is not all of duty in the exercise OF
the ballot Our people arising superior to their

for right principles, and not for candidate simply
because he is connected with certain party. 1t is
forcfbly clear to all thinking men that of all ques
lions before the people, the temperance question is
paramount in Importance.
Fellow Citizens-It certainly does not pay to sacri-
fee our principles for the of few rum votes.

evil which annually involves thousands of lives,
millions OF treasure, and incalcuable moral conse

gent boys transformed into drunkards thieves, and
murderers to enable the saloon keeper to accumulate
fortune 1t does not to have wives, mothers
and children so ragged, hungry, and suffer abuse,
that some man who is afraid to pledge himstlf may
be elected to office.
1t will not for the people county treat
this momentous question with indifference any lon
ger. We must put our shoulders to the wheel and
aid in rescuing nation from the greatest of
our land. 1t is impossible for me to stand and wit

Hillborn C. Miller was born in
Bloomfield township, Jackson county,
and his father, the late DR.. j. HI. G.
Miller, removed to Jackson when Hill
born was child, and he was raised
here. We have been his neighbor for
26 years, and know him well. He
learned the printing business when
boy, and worked at his trade until he
went into the army, where he served
with credit to himself. After the war
he went into the business of insurance
agent and claim agent, which pursuits
he has followed up to the present
time.
AS an honest, upright, competent
business man he has few equals, and
no superiors. We have had large
amount Of dealings with him, and we
have always admired him for his hon
esty, promptness and truthfulness.
When the times came for settlements
with him, all we had to do was to send
our bill, and at once his bill would be
sent, and if there should be a balance
in our favor, check for that amount
always accompanied the bill. That i;
his style of doing business.
As boy and man, Mr.. Miller's mora
character has always been pure.

SOME Philosopher should take can

mouth for an honest man. For years
past their officers, of both parties,
have been compelled to refund public
money, wrongfully taken, and now
they have fresh sensation. 1t seems
to have been discovered that some
four or five years ago, B. r. Miles,
who was then Treasurer, received over
four thousand dollars Of taxes which
he never paid over, and it seems like
&C. Gibbs, then Auditor, ought to
have known it. We hope the matter
may be cleared up so as to show that
these men are not dishonest. They
are both Republicans, and have always
been regarded as honest men. Mr..
Gibbs is now Postmaster at Ports
mouth. We have been acquainted
with Mr.. Miles for twenty years, and
if he is a scoundrel, then we will lose
confidence in nearly all men.

In these days when every paper,
nearly, is following some fool leader,
it is encouraging to see occasionally a
gleam Of common sense. Such is the
following, from the Columbus Sunday
Herald:
There is a great deal Of idiotic talk
about Senator Platt, as though the
only way he could show himself a
man was to act contrary to his own
convictions and oppose his colleague
Conkling. The proper way for one to
exhibit his manhood is to do what he
believes to be RIGHT, whether in so do
ing he agrees with or differs from an
other man. lie Senator Platt had
taken an opposite course from that Of
Mr.. Conkling, merely from fear that
if he did not some bowling idiot would
brand him as Conkling's henchman OF
tool, he would have forfeited his OWL
self-respect and deserved an eternity
Of public scorn.

Our Candidate for Representative.
Robert FL. Jones was born in North
Wales, in the year 1841, and conse-
quently he is 40 years Of age. His
father came to this country with the
family when Robert was four years
of age.
Young Jones had no opportunity
to get an education, and only attended
school about three months. In the
year 1854, when Robert was but little
over thirteen years of age, his father
apprenticed him to Joseph Rule, Esq,
of Oak Hill, to learn the trade of sad
die and harness maker. We were at
that time practicing law at Oak Hill,
and we drew up the indentures OF ap-
premiership between Jones and Rule,
and the contract was faithfully car
ried out on the part Of each, for nearly
six years.
After Jones had completed his ap-
premiership, he worked at his trade in
different places, and while working at
Portsmouth. in the year 1860, he COM
menced reading law with Col. O. F.
Moore, but the war breaking out, he at
once volunteered as private soldier,
and afterwards re-enlisted, and served in
all nearly four years, part Of the time
as Captain Of company Of colored
men. He saw hard service in Virgin
Ia under Gen. Butler. His record as
soldier is without blemish.
| After the war Mr.. Jones started a
saddler shop Of his own at Portland,
now part Of Oak Hill, and also resum-
ed the study of the law, under the in
struction Of Judge Trip. In the
year 1872 he was admitted to the Bar
by the District Court at Portsmouth.
He continued to carry on his saddler
shop for some years after he COM
menced practice, but now he devotes
all his time to his practice, which has
increased largely, and is profitable.
Mr.. Jones is man Of great energy
and is what he is, by untiring energy
and industry, overcoming disadvanta-
ges that would have discouraged most
young men. He is lawyer
much above the average and is man
of vigorous intellect and sound judg-
ment, and will make an industrious
safe and useful legislator.

A MOST remarkable exhibition of
woman's constancy = or woman's s
weakness lis that Of the wife of the
convict, Theodore Dunbar, pardoned
out of the Penitentiary last week by
Governor Foster. Dunbar resided in
the East, where he became a worth
less, drunken scamp, deserted his wife,
and came West with a circus. A year
or so ago he got on a spree in Dayton,
Ohio, and was one of the gang of
roughs who held an old lady, toll-gate
keeper on a red-hot stove until she
told where her money was hidden.
Dunbar was sent up for thirteen
years, but soon went into consump-
tion, and sank rapidly. His wife re-
sided, meanwhile, in Philadelphia.
Hearing of her husbands illness, she
sold off her household goods to obtain
money with which to come to Colum-
bus and see him. She was unremit-
ting ino her attentions to him, and
succeeded in getting him pardon.
Half an hour after the issuing Of the
pardon, Dunbar died, holding the pre-
cious paper in his hand. This convict
broken down by his own vices-was
taken from the prison and buried, and
was followed to his dishonored grave
by a solitary mourner-his faithful
wife.

There being now pending in this
department great numbers of volunteer
pension claims which cannot be satisfac-
torily verified for want of information
which missing records of discontinued
volunteer commands would afford, and it
having transpired in many instances that
officers of the late volunteer forces have
still in their possession or under their
control books and other records pertain
ing to their corps, divisions, brigades,
regiments, and companies, their attention
is called to the fact that all such books and
records should be deposited with this
Office, and they are earnestly requested to
cause the same to be forwarded without
delay to the Adjutant General of the
Army, at Washington, District of Col
umbia.
No expense, other than postage or
proper express charges (when packages
exceed four pounds, the limit for mail

A LIQUOR saloon was blown up at
St. Joseph, Missouri, and several men
were killed and wounded. The ac-
count says:
Charles Dunlap, the bartender, a
large man, weighing over 300 pounds,
came near making his escape, but his
feet were caught under portions Of
the fallen roof, and he was burned to
death while desperately struggling to
free himself and appealing for help,
which could not reach him in time to
save his life.
No doubt many heart-broken wife
and mother had.appealed to this bar
tender not to sell liquor to her
drunken husband, but appealed in vain.
We hope many such women may have
been there, and seen the agonies Of
the man who had no mercy on them.
