Some two weeks ago Albert Castor
entered pleas of guilty in two liquor
cases, one being for nuisance. He
said he had shut up the house, and
would sell out, and go into the busi-
ness Of butchering. Now he says he
has gone to butchering, and has con-
tracted for the sale Of his liquors, the
man who purchased to be here to-day
or tomorrow. The Court inquired
whether the liquors are to be removed
or are to be retailed in the same place
If Castor has quit, but worse place
is to be kept than was kept by him
what good would be the result? I'm
less the business be stopped, the Court
has no discretion, but must order the
room closed, unless the one thousand
dollar bond be given. The case would
be passed, until the liquors be finally
disposed OF.

day, the 5th and 9Th days Of June,

tions will convene at 3 o'clock on
Tuesday, for the purpose of electing
Vice Presidents for the Convention
and members of the various CON-
mittees.
The State Convention will be called
to order at 4 o'clock P. M. on Tues
day, at Comstock's Opera-house, for
temporary organization.
At 10 o'clock A. M. on Wednesday.
the Convention will meet for perma-

The basis Of representation in the

Charles Townsend, for Secretary of

county.
Here follows the number of dele
gates to which each county is entitled,
Jackson county being entitled to 5

there should be full and free ex-
preston Of the wishes of the Repub-
licans Of Ohio in the making of the
platform, and in the nomination of
candidates by this Convention. It is
therefore suggested to County Com
mittees that extensive and ample no.
tice be given of the time and place of
selecting delegates to the State Con-

to have these meetings largely attend

THERE are great many "Irish patriots"
just now coming to this country to work
up sympathy for unhappy Erin. Most of
them come to save their own necks.
A WEALTHY manufacturer in Brook

cleft good position and eloped with a

week.

one of them drank whole box of trough

SOME of the wicked papers tell that In

know how many times he has changed
