Correspondence of the SPECTATOR
There is progressing at this time meeting
at the Slower School House near this place,
and is conducted by Rev. Mr.. Hill of the Meth
odist Church. Truly. his labors have been
greatly blessed, as numbers have professed
and others are still seeking Christ. The power
Of the Lord must certainly be with this man,
as his sermons are productive of the best re-
suits.
The dry weather has greatly delayed plow-
ing and other preparations for seeding, and is
making corn little shorter than it would have
otherwise been.
On Tuesday week, there was considerable
excitement in our village, caus ed by the rapid
driving of a drunken negro through town. He
seemed to have livery turnout" but think
the horse and rockaway belong to Col. Coch-
ran at Folly Mills. He was a chestnut-sorrel
b orse. of fine size and powerful muscle, and
good mover in harness. The vehicle was one
of the common rockaways usually used for
family purposes. The negro was yellow man;
heavy set. and would weigh about $50 or 200 lbs
He left Brownsburg at ppm. At S:O5 P M. he
went through this place, having driven II
miles tn that short time. The noble horse
was perfectly wet, and under the contin-
ual lasbing of the whip, welded by the inferi-
or brute" within, was straining every nerve
to hurry his brutal driver to his destination
In the course of one hour. he had reached Pea
co.'s Mill, a distance of miles from here. Your
correspondents quite certain that he killed the
horse by over exertion, having, to his knowl-
ed &c, driven him 20 miles on a hot day in lit
tie over hours. I state this circumstance SIM
ply because I think the owner of that horse, if
he have any feeling, would use the law now in
force against this drunken brute, and perhaps
by my writing this, may acquaint the owner
of how his horse has been treated. If your
can find out who this hurley
ape is. he will certainly present the case to the
next grand jury for their consideration. He
came near running over several persons here.
among them several very small children. 1t
was difficult to get out of his way. as he was
going SO fast and looked at no one.

SPECTATOR AND GENERAL AID

and his apparent purpose to excite the labor
ing classes against the Democratic party fell
short of his purpose, if he intended to make
capital by it in the contest.
Captain Bumgardner in closing the discus
sion. answered his opponent. and then referred
to the veil Mr.. Yost would draw over the do
ings of his party. Well might he attempt to
screen 1t from the condemnation which had
been set upon 1t. A Republican Congress had
passed laws the most odfous and tyrannical,
and in the lower courts, trying alleged Of
fences. he had d defended man whose property
had been con1scated and himself prosecuted
to his grave under these same laws, which the
q. S. Supreme Court afterwards declared un-
constitutional. And this was the party Mr.
Yost was defending and setting up to govern
again this great country

Barn Burned.


Especial Correspondence oftheSPECTAToR.
MT. SoLoN, September 9th, 1885.
On last Saturday night about 10 o'clock, the
barn of Mrs. Martha A. Propes and sons. was
discovered to be on fire. The barn, hay. farm
ing implements. consisting of wagon, buggy
rake, buggy, break-wagon, harness, nearly
new. mi1let, &c, were consumed. Owing to
the calm prevailing at the time. the dwelling
and out-houses were. saved.
The origin of the fire is unknown. Some
think it the work of an incendiary, while 9TH
ers think it the result of the careless use OF
matches.
Mrs. Propes and sons enjoy the respect and
esteem of our entire community, and much
sympathy is felt for them in their loss. There
was no insurance on the property.

lW Farmers, Take Notice !

The great popularity of the OLIVER
CHILLED PLOW has Induced several parties
to make ana sell so-called OLIVER CHILLED
POINTS. which fail to give satisfaction, as many
farmers report to us.
The Genuine Points are only sold by our
selves and our agents at Arbor Hill, Middle
brook, Mofett's Creek. Raphine, Greenville,
Hope, Mt. Sidney, Parnassus, Stover's Shop,
Sangersville, Weyer's Cave Station, and
Burke's Mill.
You can always get the genuine from our
agents. as any one of them by selling the So
called Points would forfeit his agency.
Ask for the Genuine repairs and take no other.

to state that Mr.. Y. NJ Bickle of this city, who,
few weeks since. recovered his eyesight after
having been blind for two years, has again
become blind. For few days, his eyesight
had recovered sufficiently for him to
recognize his friends by sight, and
hopes were entertained that he might be
wholly recovered. The loss of sight again is
very discouraging. but there is still some hope
that his eyesight may again be restored.
