FROM SULLIVAN.
SUNRISE.

SULLIVAN, Oct. II, 1881.
We notice the Ashland Times charges
the defeat of VIM. w. Armstrong to Mont
eomery and jackson Townships. While
this may be true, we think part of the
blame might be justly laid to the Town
ship of Sullivan. We all know there is no
written law compelling person to vote,
but to every intelligent man it ought to be
one of the greatest privileges of our free
government to have part in electing our
rulers and law makers. But it is also a
duty laid upon every one to make an extra
effort, if need be, to be at the polls on cleo
ton day and cast his vote. If the Repub-
licans of Ashland County had done this,
our Representative, VIM. w. Armstrong,
would undoubtedly have been elected. In
our township there were quite number
away from home, and few others wilfully
neglected (and this is putting it in the
mildest form) to go to the polls. Among
this class stands out the most glaringly one
of our justices of the peace, living about a
mile and half from town, who, when sent
for little before six refused to come until
he had finished his milking, but, at two
minutes past six came rushing into the
Town House to vote, and, Of course, was
too late. The person who went for him
offered to do his milking if he would take
the horse and go while there was yet time.
We think part of the blame for the de-
feat of our candidate may be justly laid at
his door.
The house and contents of Mr.. George
Harris was destroyed by fire last Thursday
morning; cause unknown. The property
was insured in the Ohio Farmers, but il
is q great loss to Mr.. Harris, as he had
most of his winter provisions in the house,
and many other things that the insurance
does not cover; but we are glad to say his
friends have helped him by subscription
and are hauling logs to the mill for new
house This is the right kind of sympathy
Senator Horr made the first speech in
our new Town House, on the evening oi
the 10th, to large and attentive audience

EX-SENATOR MCDONALD, of Indiana,

frmation OF Dudley as Commissioner OF PEN

United States Marshal, exceeded the duties
and powers OF the Office in political work /;
that, In fact, he prostituted his Office TO po-
litioAl purposes; that he appointed 536 Depu-

A Timely Presentation.

Our genial proprietor of the brick
livery-he of the rubicund countenance-
went to New London, last week, to attend
the Fair, and while innocently meander-
ing around, taking in the sights, one of the
lightfingered gentry relieved him of a
valuable gold watch, which, with chain,
originally cost $500. The thief left the
chain, probably because it was around Mr..
Foote'S neck and he did not like to dis
turb him.
Hearing of Mr.. Foote'S loss, few of his
friends contributed to fund for that pur-
pose and bought gold watch, and, Mon
day morning, proceeded to his place and
effectually surprised him. Mr.. G. w. Horr
called him into the stable, ostensibfy for
private conversation, whittier the crowd
speedily followed. Mr.. Horr, addressing
Mr.. Foote, called. attention to the loss
which he had sustained, to the generosity
and public spirit for which he was well
known in this community, to his kindness
and sympathy for the widow END orphan
| Especially the widow, for which he is
| Justly celebrated, and said that out of re
gard for his many virtues and goodness oi
heart his friends had purchased a very
valuable gold watch and delegated him te
present it to him, accompanying it with
tender of their sympathy and best wishes
and hoping that it might, to some extent
replace his loss as well as prove perpe
tual reminder of the confidence and esteem
of his fellow citizens. Mr.. Horr then read
the names of the subscribers, with the
amounts contributed, as follows:
i Sc. wilcox, \ cent; E. E. Hustled, u cent; o
| Herrick, cent; G. L. Couch, u cent mot paid
C. W. Horr, presentation speech; R. A. Horn, goot
wishes only; s. s. Warner, Ooo.K mot paid; W
r. Wean, one prize package Of soap or one dolla
in money; Lady from New London, $500; Lad,
from Cleveland, $500; s. Goodyear, IL bushel
, of sympathy.
!, To say that Mr.. Foote was surprised an6
overwhelmed would give but faint ide,
of the real situation. He was completely
unnamed by this delicate and generou
manifestation of the regard of his friends
and heart and voice for the moment faile(
him; but soon rallying to the demands o
} the occasion he gave suitable expression
: to his gratitude and appreciation, and as
pred them that he should esteem the gif
as memento of the regard of his friend
| even more than for its intrinsic value; tha
: whenever he consulted its fair and truth
full face he should not fail to remembe
, the generous hearts whose sympathy ha'
t prompted them TO make so beautiful an
f valuable testimonial. Thanking then
!, all heartily, Mr.. Foote attached the watc
to his chain and the company dispersed.
f This will ever be green spot in tn
D memory of Mr.. Foote, and the thought c
/ it will recall emotions and memories in
possible for our feeble pen to suitably d.

The Onion.

am quite ashamed to take people
into my garden and have them notice
the absence of onions. 1t is very mark
ed. In onion is strength; and a
garden without it lacks flavor. The
onion in its satin wrappings is among
the most beautiful of vegetables; and is
the only one that represents the essence
of things. 1t can almost be said to have
a soul. You can take off coat after coat
and the onion is still there; and when
the last one is removed, who dare
say that the onion itself Is destroy
ed, though you can weep over its de-
parted spirit. Some people have days
on which they eat onions, what you
might call "retreats," or their ''Thurs-
days." On that day they see no COM
pany; they deny the kiss of greeting to
the desrest friend; they retire within
themselves and hold communion with
one of the most pungent and penetrat-
ing manifestations of the moral veget-
able world.-Chas. Dudley Warner.

the third stroke of paralysis he lived some
time, suffering, at times, greatly; but soon
the silver cords were loosed and his spirit
was set free. He married Miss Margery
Hues and lived in Spencer for a number
of years, then, with his family, moved to
Penfield, where he lived for over twenty
years. Three or four years ago, leaving
his son Homer on the farm, he and his
wife moved to Spencer, buying the house
and lot owned by Mrs. Allen Rice, where
they have since lived. He leaves a wife
and four children to mourn the loss of {
loving husband and father. The oldes
daughter, Ann, married Mr.. Willard Hart
| Of Penield, where they now reside; th'
second daughter, Nancy, married Natha
nial Ingrahsm, and the third daughter
Jane, married James Eglin, and both arr
living in Spencer. Homer, the youngest
is living on the old homestead. Mr.. Sooy

A great many friends from adjoining town
assembled to pay this last tribute to on
with whom they had been acquainted 8
many years, and who, in death, will b

Never since we have watched the
dairy outlook were we so puzzeied at
the situation as now. On the one side
we have the light production, occasioned
by the drouth, q light crop ofnearly all
kinds of produce, and business activity
on both continents; on the other, re-
duction of consumption, occasioned by
high prices, larger yield during the
drouth than was expected, owing large
ly to heavy feeding, and lastly greatly
increased production occasioned by the
abundant feed following therecent rains.
The cheese market is a little of, and
with the foregoing before us what can
we expect, or rather what is the cause
of the Stacking up of the market? In
our opinion the bears have been doing
all they can to reduce prices. Cold
storage, big stock, light consumption,
sharp Augusts, little shrinkage from
drouth, etc., have been played on all the
different strings for the last fortnight,
but in our opinion we shall go into the
winter with a light stock on hand and
prices will remain good to the close OF
the season. August make which has be-
come sharp, should be disposed of, and
further than this we feel entirely in
competent to adYise.-ChagPin Falls

Cats.
Stories Told by tho Poet Swinburne.

Stories Told by tho Poet Swinburne.
Mr. Swinburnc writes to the Spectator
Having just read with delight and cdifica-
ton your account Of Martini" in your
issue of to -day-an account worthy of a
place in that most charming of all books
ever dedicated by a great writer to the
honor and glory of beloved animals, the
"Menagerie Intime - of Theophile Gautier
Il send you two stories, as they were told
in my boyhOod, Of cats connected with my
own family-in which, l may add, cat
worship has been for years hereditary
legacy. One, when its master was lying
wounded we'll nigh to death, watched for
many days and nights at the door of his
room; would not bs lured or driven
away, till at last it was posi- bic for the
convalescent to receive his faithful and in
consolable friend. whose ecstacy mayor
rather may nOt-be imagined. So much
for the charge of personal indifference
brought against cats by those who prefer
the promiscuoas and obstrusive carcsses
or solicitations lavished by dogs on almost
any stranger, to the choice and constant
affection which cats with the instinct SO
peculiar to babies and themselves, reserve
with scrupulOus self-respect for those in
whom they recognize true reciprocal at
tractiOn-an unmistakablc innate affinity.
My second story illustrates only that at
tachment to places which is more COM
monty recognized as feline property, but
illustrates it in 50 singular a degree, that
it may, perhaps, be thought worthy of
this passing record. A favorite cat-I
know not whether the same as the heroine
of the story just given-was conveyed to
London from country house in the depth
of Northumberland, and missed immedi-
ately after arrival. About week after

wards it arrived at its old home, half
starved, and wholly fallen from its high
estate as cat of quality and distinction,
but recognizable by the household left in
charge, having smelt or inquired its way
back on foot along course of some three
hundred miles, which it had just before
traversed in carriage for the first time.
