Warren, 9th Distribution Sunday afternoon
last the Rev. J. N. Davis, of the M. E. Church,
preached his farewell sermon, which is probably
the last he will preach at this appointment Having
been upon the circuit three years new field of
labor awaits him, which will in due time be de-
termined by the meeting of the annual Conference.
His colleague, Rev. Joel Brown, will probably re-
main upon the circuit another year. Both have
been promptly paid their claims by this appoint
ment, which is always source of much gratifca
ton to all eccesiastics who labor in the vineyard
of the Lord.
Mr.. R. G. Gladfelter, the gentlemanly manager
of the factory here, having had recently severe
fall, causing several Commissions, is slowly recover
ing.
Inferred at Poplar, ON the 25th ult., Hattie
Yewel, in the 18th year of her age. Rev. Mr..
Perry, of Ashland, oficiated.
Much labor had to be performed during the late
severe spell of weather. to keep the factory free of
icy Accommodations, which retarded inside opera
tons to considerable extent.
The health of the village is good, notwithstand-
ing the extreme cold and sudden changes that
have been experienced; but little sickness is prev
alent at the present time. U.

The Season of Sales.-The poets idea of
public sales may not be exactly correct, but this
is what T. Buchanan Read had to say of them
The winter speeds; yet, ere the spring comes in,
On many tree which at the cross-road stands,
And at the village tavern and the store,
Or in coarse written lnes-unnumbered bills
Proclaim the dissolution near at hand.
Then the choice farm and stock, or household
wares,
h.e offered, and the day Of vendue set;
And ere from off the fields the last snow melts
From crops, another than the hand which sowed
Shall in the harvest reap. The sales begin,
While Melancholy walks from door to door,
And with strange pleasure holds divided sway.

Fullerton. 18th District.-Miss Ann Nancy

Fullerton, 18th District Ann Nancy
Fowler, one of the oldest citizens of this district
if not in the county, died Monday night, February
3d. aged 80 years and months. She has been
quite inirm for the past ten years, and has been
bed-rdden for about that time. She was buried
on the farm where she was born, now owned by
her nephew, Mr.. Benjamin Burton. and but
short distance from the farm on which she has
resided for fully sixty years. Mrs. Mary Wilson,
her niece has had the of her for twenty years
She lived quite retired life, and even in her
younger days rarely went from home. She was
known in tae community in which she had lived
80 long as Aunt Nancy. The pail bearers were
Messrs. N. w. Smith, William H. Councilman,
Hartman Harness, Christian Cooms, Geo. s. Clarke
and Amos Kerkendall. Rev. j. III. S. Clarke
preached the funeral sermon.
There was a sudden death on Saturday morning
last that of Mrs. Ann Van Ceaf, wife of Mr..
Chas Van Cleaf, miller at Trump'smill. She was
found dead in bed by the side of her husband when
the latter awoke in the morning. She had been
complaining for few days. Heart disease is
supposed to have been the immediate cause of
her death. Her funeral took place on Monday
last and the interment made in the burying
ground on the farm of Mr.. George Councilman
The pall-bearers were VIM. H. Councilman, j. W.
Jacobs, A. Mccormick, Jr., Robert Councilman,
A. J. Biddison, Mr.. Lassahn Revs. Thomas Cor
such and ]. H. S. Clark oficiated. The children

home when the sad event occurred, but being
summoned by telegraph, were all present at the
funeral.
very singular accident occurred just below the
postofice in this place, the Belair road, about
a week ago, which might have resulted seriously.
Mr. John Wirshing, in company with a minister
from Kingsville, were driving out the road to-
gether, and both were smoking, and by some
means the wagon took fire. Mr.. Wirshing had
his coat-tail burned off, also the wagon cover and
bows were DESTROYED. Had it not been for the
timely assistance of friends, the entire wagon
would have been consumed. There was a very
stiff breeze blowing at the time, which added fury
to the flames. The sight of vehicle being des-
troyed in that manner on the public highway is,
to say the least, quite novelty.
Mr.. John T. Ritter, of this place, has secured
the position of manager on the farm of Mr.. Henry
G. Turnbull, near Towsontown. He was president
of our debating society, but now that he has LEI
us, Mr.. C. G. Fowler has been elected to fill the
vacancy.
Mr.. Alexander Fuller who has been sick for
nearly year, is still confined to the house.

Miraculous Escape.-Mr. Charles Bell,
who lives on Chestnut Ridge, has favOrite calf
of which he is very proud. A few days ago it
mysteriousy disappeared and upon search being
made it was found at the bottom of a sixty-foot
well, into which it had fallen. 1t was rescued
alive and strange to say it did not have a broken
bone, but Mr.. Bell fears that it is injured inter-
nay and may die.
Painful Accdent.-Andrew Mccormick, q
member of the Waverly fire company, met with
painful accident ON Saturday last. He was on
his way home when brick fell from the top of a
stable be was passing striking him on the head,
making painful wound DIR. Hart attended him.
Slight Fire.-On Friday night of last week
the residence of George Mills, on Maryland ave-
nue., in the Belt, took fire from furnace in the
basement. An alarm was turned in and the coun-
ty fire department responded promptly, subuing
the fire with only trifing loss.

THE OHIO DEMOCRATS.

The Ohio Democratic convention renom-
mated Gov. Hoadly. That such would be
its action was foregone conclusion after
Judge Thurman declined to lead the opposi-
ton forces. 1t is barely possible that the
Standard Oil crowd whose favorite Hoadly
is might have been defeated had Thurman
stood, but notprobable. That monopoly mas
so firm grip on the throat of the Demo-
cratic party of Ohio that there is a yerv
small chance of loosening it, It is certain
that Hoadly is far less popular than two
years ago when he was elected. He has
shown very little tack and has alienated
good many who supported him when he ran
before. The Germans of Hamilton county.
who two years ago generally voted for him
are almost unanimously opposed to him to-
day. His only hope of an election lies in
the campaign of the Prohibitionists which
the Democrats expect viii draw off enough
votes from the Republicans to give them
plurality.
The resolutions ON national topics are
vague and indefinite. A sop is thrown to
the wool growers in the shape of resou-
ton protesting friendliness to their interests,
but the recollection Of the broken pledges of
the convention of two years ago still remains
and this attempt to catch the votes of the
wool growers will hardly succeed. On the
tariff question in general the convention is
silent. With regard to civil serYive reform
the convention is also silent. To be sure it
endorses the Presidents policy and the Mug
wumps may regard this as quiyalent to an
endorsement Of civil service reform. 1t will
hardiy strike the general public that way.
a convention run by the same crowd that
defeated Pendleton because he advocated the
civil service law must needs make very ex-
pliclt declaration on the subject to convince
The Portland daily press., 1885-08-22

the country that these men have changed
their sentiments.
Concerning local issues the convention was
more explicit. 1t resolved in favor of a con-
stitutional amendment allowing the licensing
of the liquor traffic. But what kind of
license system it is proposed to introduce is
described in a most vague and indefinite way.
As the great majority of the saloon men are
in the Democratic party, we may be pretty
certain that no system of license which does
not meet their approval will be adopted A
party that compelled the Supreme Court to
declare the Scott law unconstitutional at the
demand of the saloon men may be trusted to
look out for the interest of those men when
1t comes to introduce its proposed license
system
One of the most brazen performances of
the convention was its endorsement of the
recent Legislature, which was generally ad-
mitted when it adjourned to have been one
of the weakest and most corrupt in the his
tory of the State
Both the nominations and the resolutions
make it clearly apparent that the Ohio
Democracy is still completely at the mercy of
the Standard Oil monopoly and the Mclean
gang of Cincinnati. The decent elements of
the party have been sent to the rear and it
seems pretty certain that they will be kept
there indefinitely

The campaign in Ohio has thus early
reached the affidavit stage. Sometime ago
the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazettep published
astatement from one of the former parishion-
ers of the Rev. A. B. Leonard, sthe prohibition
candidate for governor, alleging that some
years ago Mr.. Leonard drank old stock ale
for dyspepsia. The statement detailed how
the parishioner and DIR. Leonard while at
tending campmeeting, strayed off into the
bushes where the Doctor might drink his ale
unbeknown to the campers. DR.. Leonard,
in card, pronounced the storyIan infamous
lie. Now comes the parishioner, whose name
is Glidden, and who is in good standing in
the Methodist church. and makes affidavit
that the story is true just as he narrated it
to the Cincinnati Gazette renorter.

Some manuscripts have lately been found

fact that Father Eschinardi. a Jesuit Of tbat

gave lecture on the possibility of cuttin9,
the isthmus, and foresaw that the difficuItT
would arise, not from the waters, but from
the accumulation of the sands. This was, in
fact, the only difficulty foreseen and expert
enced by De Lesseps. Father Esehinardi's
works may have been known to De Lesseps.

At last Colonel Barbiere, appointed to a
position in the Philadelphia Pension Office
by General Davis, has handed in his resigna-
ton. Long after the war was over Barbiere
wrote and published most offensive book,
abusing the Government, its officers and SOL
dlers for their subjugation of the rebellion,
and eulogizing those who engaged in the war
to break up the Union. His appointment
was felt to be mistake by the Democrats of
Pennsylvania, who demonstrated with Gen
eral Davis, and maddened the veterans, who
without exception passed resolutions con
demning the appointment. But Davis re-
sisted all appeals Yet he could not protect
Barbiere from the exasperating paragraphs
of the newspapers and the red-hot objurga-
tions of the old soldiers. SO Barbiere re-
signed.

The Ohio Democrats have renominated
Gov. Hoadly as was anticipated. There was
strong opposition to him, and had there been
any candidate on which it could have been
concentrated it's quite probable that Hoad-
ly could have been defeated But Judge
Humans declining to be a candidate COM
pletely paralyzed the anti-Hoadly forces
Hoadly's success shows that the Standard
Oil Company still maintains its grip on the
Democracy Of Ohio How much sincerity
there is in the resolution endorsing reform
may be inferred from the fact that the same
ring controlled the convention that defeated
Mr.. Pendleton for advocating the civil SER

One cause of the alarming small pox cpl

neglected to compel its adoption Public
