Butler and Kelly makes it much stronger
with the mass of thinking people than II
those two men had supported Cleveland" ,"
NEW ENGLAND GENERALLY.
Democrats in many New England towns
and cities held ratification meetings over the
nominations. In many instances salutes
were fired, bells rung and fireworks display
ed. The general lsentimentamong the mem
bersof the party is most favorable to Cleve-
land and Hendricks.
AN OHIO OPINION.
The Cincinnati Enquirer says: Grover
Cleveland brings with him beyond his par
ty strength, beyond his strength in the poll
tics of the country, the confidence of the
business men, the confidence of all the great
money centres, and the confidence of the
people, that if the care of the government
Shall be confded to him he will admins
ter the trust honestly and faithfully. He
has already demonstrated his ability to car
nv the great State of New York, Of which
he is now the Governor, elected to that pO-
sition by a colossal majority. He commands
the support of the Democratic party, has
great strength among the independent vo-
ters; and men who view public questions
from a business and material standpoint,
rather than through the glasses of any of the
political organizations, find in him all they
would ask for. He is a strong man with all
classes of voters.
AT CLEvELAND's HOME.
When the news of denomination reached
Buffalo, the home of Cleveland, the most
intense excitement prevailed. Cheer after
cheer wasgiven. Men waved hats and acted
like mad. Hand-shaking of Democrats and
Republicans was general and the enthusl-
asnl was unbounded A salute Of 100 guns
was fired by the Cleveland gun squad under
the direction of the Cleveland Central Club

CEDAR GROVE.

1Ir. Editor Seeing in your valu-
able paper numerous Localsn from
various parts of the county, the thought
occurred, that perhaps this humble
spot of rising note may be little
known in the outer precincts of
mundane sphere. Cedar Grove is To-
Gated in the remote superbs of Broad
Lane. Its beauty and grandeur must
be seen 10 be appreciated. Our peace
full and thriving community all seem
pretty eontent in their happy homes.
A $40 S. s. Christmas tree at Harmo-
ny Church is well under way; and
the juveniles see before them uuch
pleasure. Our school is moving on
hopefully. We cannot report, like
our worthy cotemporaries of Broad
Lane and Made Stone, daily aver
age for the last entire month, of sc
out of Al enrollment-and 80 of 81 en-
rolled; but we can claim some good
material, and show up class of ten
in the 9th Reader, Is in Grammar and
Composition, in U. S. History and
two in Rays Higher Arith. All on
the upward march progressing.

JONES SPRING.

There is decided calm after the
presidential election. Well see what
we'll see in the next four years.
Whooping cough is epidemic here.
The little shavers initiate hounds on
hot deer chase.
Farmers are busy blowing. The
weather is favorable for such work.
Some predict mild winter-hope it
may.
We are sorry to record the death of
Miss GIMME Cooper, which took place
one week ago. She was in her 2lst
year, and suffered with that fatal di-
sease, consumption. She was buried
in the hnnors of Good Templars-
Shanghai Lodge assisting.
Our merchants, KEGS d Wilson, are
really for the holidays.
Miss Lucy Kennedy is visiting her
sister, Mrs. Shickle, the wife of our
worthy blacksmith. Hope the lady
is enjoying herself.
VIM. Snyder is putting up the foun-
dati0n for a two-story dwelling, on
the Hedgesville grade, half mile
above the village.
Another year is on the eve of pass
ing into eternity, which reminds us
that we, too, are passing away, and
our places soon will be filled by others
more worthy than we it is to be
hoped. Let us begin the new year
with renewed energy and work with
a zeal that should characterize every
good citizen. s. Ell. j.

THF REGISTER WATCH.

/ This is an old thing under new
name. That is what they call it in
I Wheeling, according to the following
from the Intetiigeacer. There they
call it "sellin," herewe say "peddlin'
tin watches" Ii is all the same, only
the Wheeling folks are SO stylish.
Here we say Waterbury Watch -
the Lsteiige,acer says Turbine
/ Wheel.n There is no accounting for
tastes. In Wheeling it is connected
with newspaper organs, to furnish the
wind. Here it is connected with the
wind, to furnish the organs of run
down newspapers. There they sell
at two-forf five by the peck; here they
are dead stock .b(u)y the mug
wunp. In Wheeling it must be a
wonderful invention. Listen: 1t is
run by turbine wheel. This of
course requires water. It is one of
the fortunate peculiarities of the regis
ter watch that water doesn't hurt it..
Opening the case with tack hammer
or the ordinary sewing-machine screw
driver, it is only necessary to place the
watch nnder the hydrant, let the
water un for not less than one minute
nor more than FIVE minutes, atth dis
erection ofthe court, and the watch is
wound up for an hour. This is con-
sidered a great improvement on the
stem winder, which is liable at any
moment to blow out its stem and hurt
somebody.
The register watch has also the adj
vantage of being stop-watch; but
care should be taken not to let it stop
too often, or its usefulness as a time
piece will be impaired. Tine certifi-
cate of caution issued with each of
these chron0meters contains some
timely suggestions; for example, keep
in a cool place; don't leave in IA
draught, nor place near the fire; pow
der should be carried in another pock-
ct, but it will not harm, the shot.
This much applies to the watch in
motion. Run down, the works not
moving, this wonderful watch begins
to develop the real object of its being.
1t is used to shock wagon wheels, and
is therefore peculiarly serviceable in
mountainous country; as nest
egg; as 4 lap-stone for shoemakers !;
as a flat iron for certain kinds of work ;
as a hammer for light driving, and in
tIle IdiiuS VI all expert IL may De uSeu
as a monkey-wrench.
In some localities the register watch
is coated with molasses and given to
tooth-cutting children. The claim
that it has never been known to fail
in case OF whooping-cough, measles,
toothache, ricketts, or SPAWN is prOba-
bly, a mere fancy of the types. But
in New England, where it is grown in
superintendent quantities, boys con-
tribute to manly physique by using
it as a base ball, sometime as foot
ball, and even in the scientific game
of "cat-y." 1t is commonly retailed
by the peck, but for the accommoda-
ton of school boys it is sold in chew
ing-gum shops at the uniform price of
" two-for-fve," and this is not thought
to be high.

hear from him in the "sweet by and

The protracted meeting, at Lee
town, of the NJ. f. Church, South,
was Of short duration. 1t lasted only
from Saturday until Tuesday night
and Il good portion of that time the
weather Was so unfavorable that
people could not attend. We do not
know whether the preachers think
the people of Leetown vicinity good
enough, or whether they think they
are joined to their idols, or that they,
(the preachersl become weary in well
doing. If the former, we fear they
are deceived if secondly, should
they have judged? and, if lastly, then
what?
Rev. j. Shipley, of the NJ. E..
Church, South, preached an interest
ing sermon, at Browns Crossing last
Sunday, on Methodism. He briefly
traced the subject, with its progress
and results, from its origin in Ameri-
ca down to the present day.

was attacked by two men, John Bill
myer and Jasper Smith, in that place,
on Saturday night week, and in the
difficulty Stipes was shot in the left
side, and painfully but not danger
ously wounded. Billmyer was arrest

Mr.. John Fitz has "shut down"
business for want of orders. He says
that business is exceedingly dull and
he regrets that he is compelled like
many manufacturers of the North
and West to suspend business and
thus curtail expenses until times are
better. He hopes however it may be
but temporary and that he may be
able 10 run again before spring. About
- hands will be thus thrown out of
employment. The fluctuations and
unsettled condition of trade no doubt
are the chief causes.
