SOME OTHER BETS.

John w. Clinton, of ,23l Broadway,
offers $500 even that Cleveland will be
elected. He has had that $500 up for a
week and has not yet found a taker.
Col. William Shaefer has bet 81 900
even that the Republicans will carry
New Jcrsey. Mr.. Kelly, of the firm OF
Kelly Il Bliss, of Twenty-eight street,
which received, 4 few days ago, Sl3,0OO
from prominent Republicans to be put
I'D without odds on Harrison, announc-
cd to-day that Ill the bets were covered
bv Democrats. He said thata soon rs
the Democrats heard of the offer, they
made a rush Oh him.
Subway Commissioner "Jake" Hess
is doing some big betting. 1t is said that
he already has 5000 on Harrison and
Morton. One of Mr.. Hcss's bets is that
Harrison will carry Indiana and Con-
necticut, and another is that he will
carry all the Northwestern States:
EX-Congressman John R. Adams is
said to be betting heavily on Harrison,
John Farnsworth, Of Indianapolis.
boasted in the Hoffman House yester-
dav that he had 1000 that Indiana
would 90 for Harrison. Last night
several anxious Democrats sought him,
but he was nowhere to be found.
The betting just now is more on the
resultin certain States than on the gene
raj election. Republicans prefer to bet
an Indiana, While Democrats like to
put up their money on New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut. There is some
betting on California, slight odds being
offered by Republicans.
Betting on result of the election IN
Michigan, Minnesota, and Winsconsin
is at odds of 10 to in favor of Harrison
and Morton. Harrison's letter does not
seem to have affected the betting SO
far.
WHEN BLAINE WILL SPEAK IN NE w
YORK.
It has been definitely decided that
Mr.. Blaine will speak in this city Sep
tember 18th. The Harlem Republican
Club will have charge ofthe arrange
ments. 1t is probable that the polo
grounds will be selected for themeeting,
as 5000 can be seated there, and twice
as many more can be reached by The
voice of the speaker. The only draw
back is the weather, which might pre-.
vent the speaking. Some members OF
the club prefer Madison Square Garden:
Next week u meeting will be held at
the club rooms, and the selection Of a
place will be made.
Invitations will he sent out to Repub-
lican clubs all over the country. 1t is
expected that there will be demons
trttion like that which was made in
honor of Blaine last month. The Phila-
de!nhia Invincibles nave already signl-
fed their willingness to take part in the
parade.

HARVEST HOME.

The Harvest Home Picnic at Stew
arts Grove on Thursday was almost an
ideal picnic. There was great gather
ing, possibly numbering three thousand
persons, representing the homes of this
region. 1t was an intelligent, well dressed,
well behaved crowd, that could make the
most out of the intellectual and social
features of the occasion. A marked feat
IRE of the gathering was the large num-
Der of young people present; possibly
twO-thirds of the entire number were
born since the close of the war.
The day could not have been ordered
more perfect, and right royalty did the
tired husbandmen enjoy the inspiring
strains of music by the Businessburg
band, the friendly greeting of his neigh
bors, and the recreation afforded by the
surroundings. Mr.. J. II. Denham pre-
sided at the stand, introducing the vari-
GUS speakers. In the forenoon addresses
were delivered by Rev. ThOs. Fulton, of
Pittsburgh, formerly of near Glencoe. and
J. w. Nichols, Esq, of st. Clairsville, and
in the afternoon Rev. John 4. Bowers, of
Rock Hill, delivered one of his character
istic addresses taking "Pique," for his
theme. The speeches were all well re-
ceived, affOrding ample variety in lit
erary way. Altogether the picnic was
splendid success, and the management
are to be congratulated for their perfect
arrangements.
THE United Presbyterian congregation
of UniOntOwn surprised their pastor, Rev.
J. c. Scouller, and his wife, by decoying
them to the church yesterday and pre-
senting them with handsome revolving
book case and an easy chair Mr.. John
Wilson, a member of the session, made
the presentation address, which was hap
PLY and feelingly responded to by the
Pastor, after which an elegant lunch was
served by the ladies of the church. The
occasion was the celebration of the fifth
anniversary of the pastorate of Mr. Seoul.
Ter, and was one of those happy events
which is a joy forever to those participat-
ing.

FINE FRUIT.

Mr.. Charles II. Arick is very success
full cultivator of fine fruits. A drive to
his place and walk through his orchards
a few days ago, though, produced many
surprises. About forty acres are in fruit,
including two acres in grapes and four in
strawberries. Mr. Arick is taking especial
pride just now in his plums, of which he
has several varieties. One variety (the
name of which has escaped our memory
is literally breaking the trees down with
fruit. Upon foot after foot of the limbs
the plums hang as thick as grapes are
clustered together Cutting off a foot
from the end of a limb, it was found
there were fOrty-iive plums on it, an aver
age one measuring inches in circum-
ference, and not yet done growing.
Mr.. Arick is an enthusiast in fruit cul-
ture, and thoroughly understands the
business. AS a result, his orchards pro-
duce the finest varieties of fruits, which
command top prices in the Wheeling mar
ket.

THE GREAT FROST OF 80.

Mr.. George G. Neiswanger, of Kansas
City, writes to friend at st. Clairsville
to settle bet as to the year of the great
frost here. The frost occurred on Satur-
day night, June 4, 1859. All manner of
vegetation was killed, even the leaves of
grape vines and trees appearing as though
swept by fire. Great CONSERVATION and
alarm prevailed for a few days, people
fearing famine would result Flour ad-
vanced to $40 a barrel, and many persons
hurriedly purchased large quantities of
breadstuffs. Corn and wheat could not
be started again in time to mature, but
very large acreage of buckwheat was put
in the ground, and flour shipped here from
Wisconsin and other Western States.
1t was scary time for day or two,
but the assurance that the crops of the
great West were safe soon restored conf
dence.

ARRESTED 121 TIMES

Not long ago man was before New
York judge, who asserted he had been
arrested III times. We believe there is
one disturber of society who has broken
this record. We refer to the insidious
disease consumption, which, when taken
in time, is always arrested by the use of
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
1t has an unparalleled record as a cure
for coughs, colds, and all forms of pull
monary diseases. 1t is a reliable tonic
and Alternative, or bloodpurifier, to be
found at every drug store, and should be
kept in every house.

THE COLORED PEOPLE


Held a two days meeting on the fail
ground Saturday and Sunday Rev. D.
W. Butler (of Cadiz), Presiding Elder,
and other preachers from abroad assist
ed in the services. At the Sunday morn
ing service Rev. Grandson, of Martins
Ferry, preached, and Mr. Butler at in
the afternoon.
A feature of the service was the sing
ing. Rev. J. NJ. Wilkes, pastor of the st.
Clairsville congregation, has superb bar
itone voice, and the music led by him at
the afternoon service was inspiring. A
heavy rain prevented meeting under the
trees at night, and instead Rev. Butler
preached in McAIillen's Hall.
If proper effort is made next year. a
meeting can be held that will attract
thousands of people. The grounds are
unequalled for camp meeting purposes,
and the facilities for reaching them su-
perior to any other camp meeting ground
in this section of the State. The congre-
CATION is struggling for means to erect a
house of worship. This would give it a
great start.
TO BE REOPENED TONIGHT.
Since the above was put in type, it is
announced by the management that the
meeting will be continued from Thursday
evening over next Sabbath.
There will be good preaching at each
service

THE midsummer holiday number of
The COSmop0iitdn (for August) is the
strongest number ever published by that
bright young magazine. The magazine
lfas now every appearance and assurance
of success, being managed by combina-
ton of publishers who represent half
million of capital, while its editorial CON
duct remains the same. There will be no
change i'll its style or policy except to
make it still more crisp and journalistic,
keeping it entirely distinct from the 9th
er magazines. There certainly is room
for such monthly, and the people are
bound to recognize its merits because of
its unparalleled cheap price.
