THE Egyptian war was brought to a
sudden termination last week by the
British victory at Tel-el-kebir. lnme.
diately following this, Cairo was occu-
pied by the British forces, and ten thou
sand Egyptian troops in that city alone
laid down their arms. Arab Pasha and
his chief lieutenant. Toulba Pasha, were
made prisoners. Other leading places
held by the Egyptians were occupied, so
that Gen. Wo.seley was warranted in
notifying his government not to send
any more troops, and declaring the war
at an end. The disarming of the Egyp
tian troops has been completed, and
many of the prominent rebels arrested
by order of the Khedive. The last vest
ige of the rebellion has disappeared, and
preparations are going on for tile return
home Of the British troops.

That this will be Republican county,
and this a Republican State when ad

We have the same trouble here that

If the American farmer were not pro.
tected by the tariff his condition would
soon again be as pitiable as it was in
1887, and again in 1857, when the Demo
cratic party struck down the tariff, and
hard times and the utmost misery en-
sned both TO the farmer and to the Ia
borer. Ross Alexander the Democratic
nominee in this district for Congress
stands with his party, against protec

protection to the American manufac

CULERAIN

Tie weather during the past week has
been all that could be desired for matu-
ring the crop of corn. One more week
of such weather and the crop viii be
ready to shock. For che benefit Of the
SupeYstitious, or those who believe in
signs and wunders,we would report that
the husks are very light, in many cases
not reaching to the end OF the ear. II
may, therefore, be safely concluded that
those who wear bob-tail coats during
winter will present a fair mark for
snow-b balls. and those who spend four
dimes day for beer, and two for tOhac-
co, will often find themselves short OF
change.
We recently interviewed Wiley &
Mitchell, who do large amount of
threshing in Colerain and Pease town
ships, and they informed us that the
general average of wheat was 20 bush
els per acre.
A few we'll dressed tramps have been
prowling around during the past two
weeks. They call at houses when the
men are absent, and demand something
to eat, and if their demands are not i'm
mediately complied with. they use ob
scene language. If they will call when
the men are at home they will receive d
tropical reception.
w. n. Stilwell turned 40 head of hogs
anG sixty pigs into one of his cornlields
that produced last year 400 bushels OF
corn; from present appearances they
will eat the present crop in about 81
days.
We are peaceably disposed toward all
men, yet we can pull the socks OFF the
man who reported that hornets nests
were built low this year, for when we
were about twenty feet up an apple tree
we received a salute that came neal
closing our windows.
The coal trade has been booming du-
ring the past week. Kidds had orders
for all they could mine; Pattons are
rooming up, Boyds are pushing things
and the works near Bridgeport send up
from 80 to 60 cars of coal a day.
Nearly ali our able-bedied people Wis
tied the Island Fair. W. II. Lash had
his pocket picked. losing S106.-Joel
Walker purchased new threshing ma
chine while there.-The 7. V. road car
ried "a car loads of passengers by the ac'
lcommodation train during the last three
days of the fair.
There will be large breadth of wheat
sown this fall-abOut one-third of which
is already in the ground. y large amount
of commercial pulverizers has been pur-
chased for this crop.
James Brown and family, of Monroe
county, are visiting his many friends IN
this vicinity. His family WAS severely
scourged by diphtheria, he having lost
three children within short period.
Thomas Pyle has been quite sick. His
days of strength and vigor are nearly
past.
I 1t will aid our County Fair very much
by promptly publishing the awards. The
man who takes fast horse there carries
his red ribbon home with him, while
the woman who works six months on q
quilt waits until after the fall election
before she learns the decision of the
Judges.
4 We are informed that the Scott Bros
have purchased the Yost farm.-We are
also informed that Oliver Watkins re-
Iceived several red ribbons at the Island
fair; glad to hear it. Score one more

THE New York Tribune has canvass
ed the expressions of the Democratic
conventions which have been held in
eighteen States since the 9TH of June on
the subject of the tariff and free trade
in Intoxicating liquors. On the question
of the tariff it linds seven for free trade.
three for straddling, two for tariff with
incidental protection. five with no ex-
preston, and one for protection. On
the subject of free trade in drinks it
finds FIVE openly in favor, three strad-
ding, one views the question with
ALARM" nine give no expression, and one
is for temperance. This is an example
