LOCAL sUPERINTENDENTs AND OFF,
GERS.
By request, Miss Willard address
ed the Convention on the duties of
Local Superintendent and Off
GERS. Every Superintendent and
Vice President should always have
her little book ready and should
never feel that her duty was done
till she has tried to get every wo-
man in the community to join the
w. c. Z. U.
The Secretary must be a person
quick to catch anything; not par
tial to any, and always careful. A.
The Corresponding Secretary is
the second officer; should have her
own office, and give her time to the
work. She should have
names of all Officers and Super
intendents, and keep the
work we'll in hand.
1t is the business of the President
and Corresponding Secretary to
keep things lively.
The Treasurer should be one
you would trust with your own
purse without counting the con-
tents. She should be prompt, con-
else, exact, and full of expedients
for raising money. a..s-
MISS JENNIE SMITH WELCOMED.

LEGISLATION AND PETITION.
This important Subject had

A letter full of earnest good
cheer, from Mrs Haney of Arkansas,
formerly resident of Wellsburg,
was read by the Sec. Miss Fowler.
The letter was full of praises of
Miss Willard, who, being present,
was compelled to hear it all, on
account of which the delegates had
little lively amusement at Miss
Wizards expense.

Thursday Evening Mass
Meeting.


Thursday evening had been set
apart by the Convention for a
Workers Conference Meeting, in
which a number of short addresses
had been planned for, by Wellsburg
friends, visiting brethren and Sis
ters and fraternal delegates. But
Miss Jennie Smiths address being
crowded out of the after noon by
the prolonged discussion, this with
the night session of the Convention,
compelled a change of program, and
as result, crowded house was
delighted by Jennie Smith, while
the delegates were contending for
the faith that was in them down
stairs.
After Miss Smiths address, Miss
Birdie Everett Of Wellsburg, recited
IA Signboard" with most touching
effect, and Mr.. Langdon, a re-
formed drinker Of the Wheeling
revival, related a terrible expert
ence.
Miss Willard, being called for,
responded in a most happy farewell
address, and after a collection for
the Wellsburg Union amounting
to over $40, and choice music by
the Orchestra, the Doxology was
sung and the audience dinissed
with the Benediction.
During the evening the Orchestra
md Choir interspersed the services
With inspiring songs and most
instrumental music.

be left to tell the tale. At this moment
great commotion was heard in the quarter
where the Irish emigrants we're penned up.
The captains deed had been made known
to them and they were furious and frantic
to get cut to save or avenge him. Father
Walsh went down snd implored them in
the name Of God and all the saints to be
calm and restrain their fury, and but for bis
influence they would have forced the
matches and the decks of the good ship Col.
umbia would have been deuged in blood.
"Taking in the situation, the captain
sullenly ordered Father Hendricken to be
ironed and locked up, but this the Germans
would not allow. They carried him to their
own quarters and nursed him back to life.
When he was removed to his own cabin
they fed him from their own scant provis-
ions, fearing poison, and night and day until
the ship reached New York three emigrants
st,od sentinels at his cabin door protect
him FROM secret violence.
1.-THE captain refused 20 ALLOW burial SER
vice over the dead womau D! to let tha body
be sewed up in hammock. He ordered
it to be dragged up, and in the presence of
the bereaved husband and children he had
the still WARM bcdy tossed int, the sea.
Threa years lat',r he wss murdered by one
of his own crew and found the watery grave
that hs wished to give Bishop Hendrickeu."

"Well, said bystander, "the people
know that Luce is running the grange

that many members Of the order will be

Mason Reynolds Visits Mendop.
Farmer Reynolds was called to Men.
don on business yesterday, and having
abundance of time and the HEARTBEAT
inclination, thoroughly investigated as
to the charges made against our next
governor and the Yaple family gener-
ally, and occupying full three columns
and half of the Detroit 7ri6une's issue
of October 6.
Mr.. Reynolds report will appear al
length and Enthusiastically in the
Cyclone of this week, answering fully
the charges Of the Tribune, which were
to the effect that Hon. George l.. Yaple
was FLAT and dreary failure" as law
yer; that he was raised as copperhesd;
that he was IAN oppressor OF the poor"
that he was "shyster" or nobody de-
pendent upon his father; that he was an
enemy of labor" that his library con-
sisted Of few old books, prominen,
among which were IngersolPs works;
that he got $3.50 Of an old, impecunious
lady by the name Of Clark, and then
cruelty foreclosed a mortgage upon her
farm contrary to contract; that even the
farmers and greenbackers of Mendon
were going against him-and much more
of the same OBTAINING character.
In an interview las: evening the
Farmer said:
"All OF the Tyibune's charges were
hagrantly false. Both George l.. Yaple
and his father are among the most hon.
ored and popular citizens of St
Joe countv-I can truly say the most
honored and popular. The father is a
venerable. white-haired man, between
go and 70-a wealthy and self made man,
distinguished by his liberslity, enter
prise and upright dealing with all. and
one Of the most active patriots during
the war. To apply the term copper
head to him Is simply and brutally scan.

Rey nolds, that the intelligent and dig

Elisha L. Yaple Justly Indignant at Trib
une Falsehoods.
To the Editor of the Detroit Free Press:
MENDoN, Oct. ga copy Of the De-
troit Tribune of date of October 6 has
been placed in my hands and my atten
ton called to one or two paragraphs
therein.
First-That during the continuance Of
the late war l was regarded among my
neighbors as belonging to and sympa-
thzing with that despised class of PEG.
pie at the north called copperheads.
Second-That on hearing Of the assas.
sination of President Lincoln it was
made the occasion of rejoicing by my
family and myself.
Replying to these charges, have only
to say there is but one word in the En-
glish language that will characterize
them, and that word decline to put in
print, because the promoters OF these
dastardlv ISLANDERS are incapable OF un.
derstap ding or apprecia,ing the applica.
ton. In conclusion desire To say that
every material point in this article. as 1t
affects me or my family, Is willful, ma
licious SANDER, and that not one single
witness in this community, male or fe
male, whose credibility would be taken
Ia any court, dare make these charges
