Letter from Hon. Andrew Roy.

GLEN Roy, O., April 1S, 1884.
To the Editors of the Standard:
sent note to the jackson Journal on the
Congressional question, which the editor de-
clmed to publish, on the ground that it was
"too personal" to one of the candidates. In
view of the FULsoME FLATTERY Of the article to
which the note was reply, as well because of
the rather commonplace abilities of the candi-
date in question, innocently presumed that a
round, unvarnished statement of facts in plain
English would be in order. When a candidate
sticks up his head, or his t'other end, AWAY UP,
it is in the very nature and eternal fitness of
things that the protruding member receive a
wtnck with aflub. This is the only remedy
known in political ethics for the cure of such q
disease. ,se..,
The following is copy of the note in ques-
ton except the last santence, which, upon re-
Election, may as well not be printed. I kept no
copy OF the article, and quote from memory !:
"GLEN Roy, O., April IA, 1884.
''ED. JoURNAL:-I avail myself of your invi-
tation to say that I endorse Mr.. Willard's arti-
Gle touching the Congressional question. Even
If Mr.. Bundy were not candidate, and jack
son County had no other except Mr.. Jones, it
would, in my opinion, neither be wise nor ex-
ped1ent, nor possible, to nominate Mr.. Jones.
The comparison between Mr. Bundy and Mr..
Jones. drawn by "We1lston Laboring Man."
if indeed he were a laboring man at all, in the
last issue of the Journal is absurd. Mr.. Jones
ranks in Columbus as a legislator, as he ranks
low the average. Can stream rise higher than
its source? Laboring men are not in the habit
of writing such "long winded" letters-they are
men of fewer and truer words. Mr.. Jones pos
sesses unwearied industry, and for this he de-
serves credit. ANDREW Roy"

A Pithy Sentence.

A well known statesman of the coun-
try once said when summing up the
events of life time: "Y Youth is a blum
der, manhood struggle. old age re-
gret." He might have added many more
wonders, but they are not necessary, for
his aphorism expresses much. Yet it is
a well known fact that the above could
not be said of life were all classes aware
what great remedy PERUNA is, and
what wonderous cures it has performed.
For the ills of youth it is wonderous
specific. The worry and tear of man.
hoods struggle for existence enfeeble his
system, and he needs such tonic, and
when old age comes on with its feeble
ness and regrets for failures and mis-
takes, the great remedy, PERUNA, can
still be used with good effect, and if Civ
en- fair trial will accomplish wonders.

Republican Convention,

The Republicans met in mass conven

and organized by electing J. W. Lairi

On motion of r. 81. Jones, the chair ap
pointed R. H. Jones, J. M. Trip and w

gates and alternates to the Republican
State Convention. After some changes
| IN the list as presented, the following
names were agreed upon:
Delegates-H. c. Miller, H. S. Willard,

Alternates-W. M. johnson, w. B.

son.
Mr.. E. G. Powell moved that the dele
gates be instructed to cast their ballots
for delegates to the National Convention,
who will cast their ballots for James G..
Blaine for President.
Mr.. Sell moved to lay the motion on
the table. The vote was very Close and
r. III. Jones called for division, and the
vote stood-15 for tabling, 10 against.
The motion of Mr.. Powell was then put
upon its passage, and carried. A large
number of those in favor of tabling the
resolutions are favorable to Blaine, but
opposed to the plan of instructing dele
cations.
After carrying motion that the Chair
man and Secretary be empowered to fill
vacancies, the Convention adjourned.

The fruit trees are beginning to look
healthy. There is often a great mistake
mode in setting out trees. Most people
will dig great hot-bed and put the trees
in, filling fertilizers around them-and
lose their trees. Some years ago an old
hand at the business told us to plant trees
"as near like nature did, as possible We
set out several by merely shoveling out a
shovelful or two of sod and putting in
the trees, and they have been growing
beautifully for two years.

Quite number of wild rumors have
been going around during the past few
days regarding an alleged attempt on the
part of some one to chloroform Mr.. and
Mrs. Emory Arthur, at Nieuvahner's.
The Standard tackled Emory on Satur-
day night with request to give the
whole thing away, and according to his
story, the thing is as follows:
He works on the Railroad, and had re-
Gently been paid off. On the night in
question he retired early, leaving his wife
sitting by light, sewing. He had been
asleep for some time when she aroused
him, telling him she heard suspicious
noise in another room. Emory leaped
out of bed, seized a weapon, and started
for the other room, when he noticed
something peculiar in the atmosphere
and noticed that while he was conscious
he could not speak. By this time his
wife had been overcome with whatever
the stuff was, and Emory rushed into an
adjoining room and found man there
The fellow Lit out, without any ceremony
and after thoroughly yentilating the
room, the couple retired again. The
cause of the strange conduct is not
known, unless the fellow meant robbery
Emory thinks the gas was something likt
chloroform. He evidently knows tht
fellow, or feels assured of his identity
but we did not ask his opinion as to that

worth trying, although not a new idea
When the clusters of grapes are formed
on the vine, cut off the shoots of the vine
SO as to prevent further running, and the
grapes will be greatly improved in size
and flavor. Our friend claims that this
has been tried and found very successful
