The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1883-06-28

G. w. Vance, Samuel Brumbaugh and
Simeon Shaffer, carpenters engaged in
raising a barn on the farm of Simeon
House, about five miles north of Eaton,
on Saturday last, were severely injured
by the breaking of the derrick. Mr..
Vance's injuries are supposed to be ia
tai. They are all residents of West Man
chester in this county, substantial citi-
zens and men of families, to whom the
sympathies of our community are kindly
rendered in their severe Affections.

Oh, the hog, the beautiful hog, curl
ing his tail as he watches the dog; de-
flying the law for his bread and meat;
roaming at large through every street,
hunting, grunting, nosing around, till
the open front gate is found-with its
hinges broken and ruined quite by the
lovers that hung there on Sunday night;
it won't stay shut; it won't hang level;
in walks the hog and raises the-old
Nick with the flower bed and other
things.
The "Citizen" who wrote the article
in the last REGISTER attempting to be
very severe and to charge us with "aim-
ing a SANDER at the ladies who are
employed in our Schools" exhibited
himself to be such a brainless ass that
we feel it would be worse than Casting
pearl before swine," to answer his non
sensical TRADE. The word teacher does
not occur in the squib we wrote-we did
not even think of connecting any n of
them. in any way, in any "innuendo"
that appeared in it, the charge of the
asinine creature to the contrary not
withstanding. We claim to have as much
respect for our school teachers in Eaton
as any other "citizen," and to have paid
them as much homage. Who was the
he or she devil that was SO squarely hit
in the article in the Democrat.
Within the sound of his teachingsth there
is no man who exercises so great an in
fuence over the hearts of his fellow-men
as the Minister of the Gospel. Placed
as he is, in the minds of his hearers, be-
yond the reach of contradiction, treated
with a Difference little short of that de-
manded by Divinity itself, he has all the
opportunities to make his work a labor
of love. If he be a good man, who can
SO fully heal strifes and contentious that
exist in every community? Who could
do more to assuage the bitterness of par
ty feeling, and to unite the good and viz
tuous of all classes in q common bond of
brotherhood against all that is evil?-
When he keeps within the proper sphere
of his holy calling, no man is SO defer
emily listened to. That which men al
most worship in him, is not his talent,
for of that he may have no remarkable
endowments. 1t is his GOODNESS, either
real or assumed, which brings around
him the respect, love and Difference of
his hearers. To feel an instructive ven
Grafton for such is a part of every mans
nature-a veneration that lasts as long
as the virtues and piety Of the recipient
govern and animate his teachings. Such,
the Christian world over, is the position
held by the Minister of the Gospel. OF
late years, however, many licensed 70
preach the Gospel in the name of their
Master, have desecrated the house Of
God and debased themselves by the adj
vocacy of certain political dogmas.
