NEXT Sabbath Rev. J. II. COnkle will
preach his farewell sermon to the NJ Z.
congregation in this place. During his
pastorate here he has shown himself a
successful, energetic and able pastor, and
his pleasant and agreeable way of min
Cling with the people has made for him
warm friends, not OILY within but out
side of the church, and wherever his lot
may be cast, he aud his excellent lady
will bear with them the esteem and we'll
wishes of the people of this community.
In consideration of the dissolution Of the
pastoral relation so soon to occur, the
official Board of the Church at its meet
ing on Thursday evening, unanimously
adopted the following resolutions:
WHEREAS, Because of law eff the
Church, limiting tie pastorate to three
yeaIs. we are about to sever our rela-
tions with Bro. j. Fl. Conkle, as pastor
of the St. Clairsville charge, therefore
Resolved, That by his removal this
charge will lose a cultured, faithful and
earnest laborer for the Masters cause,
and that we will part with him with
feelings of true christian sorrow, hoping
that he may continue always 20 grow in
the faith and increase in usefulness.
Resolved, That we send greeting to
the brethren wherever he may be ap-
pointed, and commend him as a work.
man who may be trusted to work in the
Church.

BLooM's POPULAR EDITION OF THE
LAWS OF ONO has already reached
second edition. No book has ever been
issued in Ohio which has so soon become
admired because of its artistic appear
ance, as well as the matter it contains.
and already hundreds are loud in their
praises of the work from which they are
enabled to gain general yet compre-
hensive knowledge of all laws without
the necessity of wading through two
large volumes, and two volumes of ses-
sion laws to secure the requisite knowl-
edge of them. 1t is not in the technical
sense a law book, but one intended for
popular readings and of general utility
to everybody who aspires to become bet
ter acquainted with our admirable sys-
tenn of government in Ohio. 1t is sold
by subscription, as the best method to
reach the class for which it is specially
intended, and convassers are wanted in
every town and township of the State.
Men or women of energy will find this a
pleasant and profitable book to canvas
for, because a copy of it onght to be in
every family library. The publishers
have made the book popular in price as
well as in usefulness. 1t contains over
$50 large pages, and is sold at $500 iI
cloth binding, and s4O0 in leather. Ad
dress Robert Clarke & Co., Cincinnati

PErERsoN's MAGAZINE for October i.

PETERsoN's MAGAZINE for October is
unusually good, even for that incom-
parable lady's book. The steel engrav-
ing Don't Be Scared" is one of exeep-
tional beauty, and SO is the colored steel
fashion plate, with its five charm
ing looking, exquisitely dressed ladies.
There are two'colored patterns with de-
signs for fans, line of decoration that
is now all the rage. The historic nov
elet, "The News from Yorktown" which
has attracted so much attention. is ap-
propriately concluded in this number in
time for the yorktown Centennial"
All the stories and novelets, however,
are good. We cannot too often refer to
this magazine as altogether the cheapest
and best of its kind. The terms are but
two dollars year. Great deductions
are made to clubs, and handsome prem
iums given to persons for getting up
clubs, among them beautifully bound
photograph album; in short, the induce
ments of every kind are unprecedented.
Specimens will be sent gratis to persons
wishing to get up clubs. Address, for
this purpose, or for subscribing, CHAs.

Eair RuleS

As many who attend fairs are ignO-
rant of the rules that govern such exhi-
tions, a practical agricultural man has
made up the following code of rules that
are applicable to fairs at all times and
in all sections As our st. Clairsville
Fair is on, and the Baruesville Fair
coming next week, il is only fair that
persons attending these fairs, and all
other fairs, should properly heed them:
Don't crawl in over the fence. but
through the gate. The fence is simply
made for ornament.
Keep to the right as you pass around.
If you don't you may get left
If you observe any animal which
strikes your particular fancy, go by 1t at
once.
In passing around among the live
stock, remember that the horses and cat
tie are well heeled.
Beware of pickpocketsi In order not
to put them to unnecessary trouble, car
ry your wallet in your hands.
In case you get lost, hire some one to
find you. Twelve cheap boys will be
stationed on the ground for this purpose.
In walking round you will find plen-
ty of chances to get square meal.
An Efficient corps of police are on the
grounds, ready to club in and make the
fair a success.
Any man caught squirting at the
weather and predicting rain will be or
dered to dry up.
The half mile track is not a mile
around. Bear this in mind, and it may
save you much sorrow in after years.
In the sheep department see that your
stock is III good order, and do not let the
committee pull the wool over your eyes.
In case your pig doesn't get a prize,
don't bristle up about it or squeal.
When you get tired of sitting, take
grand stand.

NJ. NJ. SCOTT. ESQ, of Powhatan, met
with serious loss at. Bellaire Tuesday
afternoon. Returning from the conven-
tion be undertook to cross on the Ferry,
and, when in the deepest part of the
river, his horses became frightened at
the escaping steam and backed off the
boat and were drowned. Mr.. Scott call
ed to the ferry people to put up the
gates, but no attempt was made to do
this. He held on to the team so long
that he narrowly escaped being dragged
into the river himself. The team was a
