l had heard a good deal Of talk by
the farmers about the dry weather
and the poor prospect for crops, but
as many farmers are inclined to pes
simism and lack of faith in Provi-
dence, I did not pay much attention
to this; yet ] am convinced that no
amount of rain now can make more
than half a crop of corn in Lick and
Washington townships, and if the
weather should continue dry, which
now appears probable, ten bushels per
acre will be high estimate.

Slapped His Mouth!

A foul-m outhed ignoramus named
George Morrison, of Licking County,
Ohio, upon hearing Of Guiteau's attack
upon the President, said he ''hoped to
God Garfield would die" Capt. c. A.
Cook, who was Union soldier during
the war, promptly slapped Morrison's S
mouth Cook was arrested, and fined
$40 and costs for assault and battery.
The fine and costs amounted to S22.
The Cincinnati Commercial started a
zone cent subscription fund.-" the sub
scriptions being limited to one cent
each, and the money to be applied to
the payment of Cooks fine and costs.
The result is, thousands upon thous-
ands, Of subscriptions. The gallant
Captain will have enough money to
buy himself silk hat, a gold-headed
cane, and a lottery ticket. When
Morrison drops such remark again,
it is probable that he will first make
sure that Cook is not in hearing dis
tance. The general impression seems
to be that Cook did not hit Morrison
often enough nor hard enough.

Assuming the above to be true, if
Mrs. HAYES knows as little about
baking bread and patching juveniles
pantaloons as she does about politics,
the ex-President would be justified in
going West and joining the Mormons.
What has the President or Guiteau
got to do with the election in Ohio !?
How would the election of Foster be
an Endorsement of Garfield? Or, how
would the election of Bookwalter be
an Endorsement of Guiteau?
We believe Gov. Foster will be re-
elected. Let us not degenerate to the
meanness displayed by our opponents
last year, in order to achieve success.
The President and Guiteau have about
as much to do with the election in
Ohio as has "The King Of the Canni-
bal Islands" The proper person Ito
Endorse" this year, is Charles Foster.

Brother Lloyd cannot find a chapter,
or verse, or sentence, or paragraph, or
phrase, or even one word, in the New
Testament, enjoining prayer meetings,
or even recommending them. In fact,
praying in public is plainly, and pos
itively, and absolutely forbidden, for
the very good reason, which is made
manifest to us at almost every prayer
meeting, that sniveling, canting, lying
hypocrites make ''able" prayers, to be
seen and heard of men.
Will Bro. Lloyd tell us what the
following means?

hypocrites for they love to standing In the

heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard
for their much speaking.

Now do not call us an infdel, be-
cause we understand the words of the
Lord Jesus differently from the way
you do, but cite us to the places where
public prayer is enjoined, and we will
publish them with great pleasure.
We may be mistaken, and may have
forgotten where those passages may
be found. Give US light.

about President Garfield on Saturday
and Sunday, as he had high fever.
On Monday morning he was put un-

cut was made into the wound, and
now the doctors are again issuing
their bulletins that he is all right.
But it ought to be known that he is
