The official report of the republi-
can convention, last Saturday, publish
ed in the Tribune, gives the names
of delegates entitled to seats, but does
not give the names of the delegates
present. We wish to say that the
ex-Greenback councilman, whom the
Chillicothe township convention (the
faithful eight saw fit to put on the del
egation, was not present. He was con-
spicuous by his absence.
-CarrOllton Democrat: We omitted
yesterday, TO notice the admission of
Messrs. II. B.'Mitchell and r. d. Ray,
Jr., into the ranks of the legal frater-
nifty. They were examined on last Sat
urday evening, before Judge Davis, by
some Of our most critical and expert
enccd attorneys, and passed a very
creditable examination. They are both
promising young men and willno doubt
be emincntly successful in the profess
sion they have chosen.
james Lowrey, Esq, living near
Wheeling, was shot in the face last Sat
urday, with gun in the hands of his
brother Joseph, charged with No. s
shot. They were out hunting, when
Joseph shot at duck, and James be-
ing in range, and about 80 yards dis
tant, several of the shot struck him in
the face. One Of the shot struck him
in the eye but did not burst the ball.
He was brought here, Saturday even
ing, to receive medical aid Dr. Cloud
examined his wounds and probed for the
shot that entered the young mans eye,
but did not succeed in finding it. The
Doctor thinks there is u chance of the
patient losing his eye.
-Jamesport correspondent of the
Gallatin Democrat: We heard of
singular case of forgery that occurred,
recently, u few miles southeast of
Jamcsport. A man representing him
self TO be the County Commissioner,
called at the residence of the district
clerk (in the absence of the lattcr) and
obtained permission to examine his
books, as certain items needed by said
Commissioner had been lost. A few
days after warrant for one months
salary in favor Of the teacher of the
district (who resides in our town. was
caShcd by Chillicothe bank, the hold
er claiming that he had bought it from
said teacher. On investigation the

directors should look out for the ras-

Considerable talk is now going the
rounds among our young men, about
starting money loaning institutions,

were conversing together over the man

their fingers, and of the use it could be
put to, ii held together in one common
fund for few years; whereupon the
following idea occurred to them; they
would start n saving institution, which
was done on the 10th of July last, with
the following rules; Each member
pays ten cents daily; for delinquency.
five cents additional for one day, ten
cents for three days, etc, anyone be-
coming delinquent twenty days is eX-
PEELED and receives fifty per cent. of
their proportional share of the receipts
in full to the Union. A member can
not afford TO withdraw, excepting in
a manner that will benefit the common
fund. The constitution is rather ingen-
iOusly framed and is not taken from
anything previously heard Of The
Union consists of Robert Lyons, l.. l.
More, Jas. Forest, W. X. Hoffman, as
members; the latter being the president,
and the former secretary, with l.. ].

other Unions being talked of, with the
