THE CAMPAIGN FROM A TEMPERANCE STAND
THE COUNTY CONVENTIONS.

The most of the republican county conven-
tions have either been called or already held
The AndrOscoggin and PenObscot republican
conventions were held Aug. ), and the Cumber-
land and Hancock, August 9th The Aroos-
took will be held August It'll, the Waldo,
August 9th, the York, August 18th, the Frank
lin, Lincoln and Washington, August 14th
the Knox, August 10Th and the Pscataquis.
August 21st. The kennebec and Oxford con-
ventions have been held. Somerset and Saga
dahoc counties are the only two in which the
republican conventions have neither been call
ed nor held. The Sagadahoc convention pro-
badly will be held August Goth. The Cumber-
land democratic and greenback county conven-
tions were held on the same day, August 9TH,
the PeEobscot democratic will be held Aug. II,
the Hancock, Knox, Oxford and Piscataquis
democratic, August 18th, the Aroostook, SOM
erset and York, democratic, August 14th and
the Androscoggin democratic, probably on the
18th. Greenback conventions have been called
in Oxford for Aug. It'll, in Waldo Aug. Sth in
Androscoggin and Knox, Aug. 10th. A straight
greenback ticket will be run in Waldo county
and Chairman Foss of the State Greenback
committee says one will also be run in Andros-
cOggin county. Fusion states have already
been arranged in several counties.
THE BIRTHPLACE OF MAINE REPUBLICANIsM.
The Hon. John J. Perry saws that Oxford
county was the birthplace of the Republican
party in Maine, though the christening may
have occurred in Franklin, as is maintained by
the managers of the proposed celebration at
Strong. 1t appears also that the name Repub-
lican was adopted by the Michigan convention,
June Is, 1854, nearly two months before the
Franklin county convention. There is ira
dition that the name was originally suggested
by Horace Greeley, but it was first adopted in
Maine on the It'll of August, 1854, by the con-
yention at Strong.

LITTLE FALLS, July 2l-While list
cning to the noise OF steel strikers
and the music OF the Negroes and
Italians, we attempt TO pencil you
few items.
Nimrod Austin is off on trip to
Clarksburg, for few days.
VIM. Kerns, of Harrison county,
has been stopping at his brothers, L.
h. Kerns, for a few days.
Capt. Adams, assisted by +. A.
Wygals and Ed. Shay, has been en-
gagged in putting in grade stakes
below here.
Col. Moore and Joseph Moreland,
Esq, passed through here one day
last week.
Henry Marsh,of New York, brought
fifty Italians here last week, to work
for Mr.. Frizzell.
r. III. Devault, Of Smithtown,
brought one hundred kegs of powder
here last Saturday for Mr.. Frizzell.
He has four hundred more to haul
from Fairmont. That looks like
business.
A number Of our farmers have COM
pleted their hay harvest They CON-
plain Of very light crops this season.
A young man who said his name
was Charley Maust, and who has
been loafing around here for nearly
a month, and only worked few days
for Mr.. Frizzell skipped out last Mon.
day leaving a $l3 board bill unpaid
at Robert Steele's, and took with him
IS belonging to an Italian. A whip
ping post would be in order for such
intoIerable nuisances.
The long looked for payday ar
rived on the 10Th. We understand
that Mr.. Frizzell paid out about 81, O0c.
We do not see why we cannot have
better roads. The road from the Lit
tie Falls to the pike is almost impass-
able. Let the people turn out and
give the roads a free working as it
seems that the overseers cannot keep
them in proper order.
The time has now come in the his
tory of our free schools that wise
trustees will select good teachers ear
lier in the season than ever before.
Good trustees will~look after efficient
teachers, and poor teachers will look
after the careless trustees.
We anxiously await B. S. Morgan's
nomination and election for State
Superintendent, then West Virginia
will have boom in her educational
interests as Monongalia county has
had under his administration.

THE "DEyIL's' EDIroRIAL.-The
"Devil' of the New DOMINION office
would like the readers OF this paper
to take notice and keep in mind that
the Boss is absent this week, and
this accounts for the paper being so
much more interesting and respect
able than usual.
The improvement is noticed not
only in the matter and style of the
paper but has been remarked upon
in all the departments Of the Office.
Patrons who have called during the
week have been struck with the fact
that the business is running more
smoothly; customers are treated more
politely; job work has been delivered
on time; everything runs as fitwere
creased. and the New DOMINION has
evidently started on new career Of
perity-all because Of the super
ior management and capacity of the
"Devil."
AS evidence Of this we have put up
a new building, ordered new power
press, made arrangements to enlarge
the paper, and have so revolntionized
the whole business that the Boss
wont recognize the establishment
when he gets back.
Fact is, the "Devil" knows his bust
ness, and the Boss-well-he's away.
IF he would stay away another
week we'd show the people Of Mon
ongalia paper what is paper. We
would Immediately order steam
engine and issue a daily, without any
more foolin' about it.
But, however disappointing it may
lie to the readers of the New DoMIN-
ION, we. are compelled to announce
that the Boss will be back next week.
He's down at Wheeling trying to set
up the Democratic Convention and
when that's through he will probably
get it into his head again that he
can run paper. The "Devil' does
not like to make invidious compari-
sons, but it is our private opinion
that the Boss had better continue TO
run Democratic conventions. Our
readers will discover that next week
the boom will stop, because the
Devil will be relegated to back
seat. The trouble with the Boss is,
he don't like to spend more money
than is comm in. He lacks faith.
He wants subscribers to pay in adj
vance He never would take any
stock in the story that you can catch
bird by putting salt on its tail.
Hence there is no boomness in his
methods.

A WRIT COUNTY ATTORNEY SAID TO
HAVE GONE WRoNG-THE STORY AS
GIVEN BY A "REGIsTER' CORRESPOND
ENT.-The correspondent says: V.
B. Archer, prominent attorney of
Writ county made an assignment of
his effects, and has gone out West to
grow up better man, it is to be
hoped. Dark rumors are afoat as to
the causes which led to the sudden
departure. In addition to the prac-
tice of law, Archer engaged in mer-
chandising and also acted in the ca
pacity of broker for a Chicago stock
gambling concern, in which he lost
heavily. After exhansting all his
spare cash and being driven to des-
peration and hoping to recover his
losses, the developments indicate that
he was tempted to use the funds in
his hands, derived from transactions
made with different parties among
whom Parkersbnrg creditors suffer
He held for collection $500 of paper
belonging to the Singer Sewing Ma
chine Company, part Of which he
had realized upon without making
dine returns. In one or two cases
where parties had renewed their pa
per Archer had the renewal made in
his own name. He assigned some or
had them discounted and pockcted
the proceedings. Several other notes
are missing and it is surmised Arch
er collected them and used the cash
in bis wild speculation. His credit
was always of the highest character
and many honest hard-working old
farmers in that city loaned him money
aud mourn the loss of hard earned
cash. Such was his standing with
the Parkersburg Citizens National
Bank that it permitted him to over
draw his account to the amount of
$1,000. The exact amount Of his
liabilities has not been asccrtained
but it is largely in excess of his as
sets, which will not exceed $4,000.
Others here are victimized in amounts
Of from $50 to 500. Archer is sup
posed to he in Kansas.

BASE BALL-PHRNIx OF WAYNEs-
BURG VS. RouGH AND READY OF Nor
GANrowN--GAME CALLED ON ACCOUNT
OF A MISUNDERSTANDING, BUT NEVER
THELEss A VICTORY FOR OUR }oYs.-
The game of ball announced to take
place between the Phoenix club of
Waynesburg and the Rough and
Readys, was begun on Saturday, but
was called in the sixth inning on ac-
count of dissatisfaction on the part
Of the home club with the umpire,
Mr.. Cross. The playing while it
lasted was rather below the usual
standard, especially with our boys.
Being somewhat out Of practice, this
Of course can be accounted for. and
reasonable allowance made. Not
outstanding this fact and the appar-
ent unfairness of the umpire's dcci-
sions the Morgantown club was GER
tain to win the game had it been
finished. 1t would have been much
better to have submitted to all the
decisions and have ended the game
than to have it called on account of
such trivial affair. However, in
the part of the game played the r.
d RS plainly demonstrated their
superiority of their Wavnesburg com
petitors the runs scored by the latter
being nearly all on account of costly
errors. while quite number of those
made by the home club were earned
1t is hut due, however, to the Waynes-
burg hoys to compliment them upon
the splendid discipline of their club,
and their mastery Of the points in
the game. In their department they
were very gentlemanly and their con
duct ELECTED much commentator.

Frs. it was all because a
kitten took I'll" that mostridic-
ulous-almost serious accident took
place at the upper end of town, last
week. The colored driver Of very styl-
ish team belonging to a gentleman of
town, was coming down the road at the
head of Spruce street, when suddenly
a young girl dressed in white, leapcd
the fence with the agility of cat,
landing in front of the horse. OF
course the animal was frightened aud
Hinged to the side of the road, threat
ening to precipitate the buggy with
its precious contents-a young lady
and child-into the deep gutter which
bounds the road at that point, on the
north. The driver hung to the lines
and fortunately avoided the catas-
trophe. But the mystery Of the
whole event was vet unsolved and
very perplexing to the young lady in
the buggy whose life had been thus
jeopardized. Over on a neighboring
portico, a half dozen women and
children were standing On chairs and
benches, DC, screaming and laugh
ing like mad, while the young girl
who had jumped the fence in front of
the horse was still running up the
road like a fawn, and is probably
running yet. 1t might not have been
unnatural, as it seemed reasona-
BILE conclusion to the occupants of the
buggy, that the whole proceeding
had been deliberately planned to
brighten the horse, and all the hilarity
was occasioned by its success. But
the truth was that the persons scream
ing and laughing on the portico did
not see the affair with the buggy
they were watching kitten "haye
a fit!'
