BRIpGEPoET, OHIO, october sd, 1855.
Editor Belmont Chronicle:
DEAR SIR-In your last weeks issue you take
occasion editOrially to say that the postmaster IN
Bridgeport. Ohio has been in the habit of holding
back important mail matter sent 10 Republicans III
Bridgeport from the Republican Central Commit
tee and in one particular case only gave Ii up after
il had been premptOriy demanded. This You say
you got from a Trustworthy source, and presume
you thought so, or you would not have done me the
gross injustice your article has done.
Now, in justice TO myself, l desire 10 give my
side OF the ease. About the first OF this month
there was received at this office four or nve little
packages from 81. ClaTSvile, addressed TO as
many Separate persons. All these were gwen 10
the parties addressed except one that was directed
to SAMSON Scott. When Mr.. Scott came Tor ms
mall the clerk started TO look for his papers, etc,
in the -'S" box and as he would find paper would
lay il on the general delivery shelf. After he had
thus laid there two papers, Mr.. Scott, suppoSlhg
that was all his mail, picked them up and walked
out of the office unnoticed by the CLERK. When the
clerk had finished looking over the mail he mad
the package IN question IN his hand ready 70 i've
gone out, and as il is not his business TO lOliOW
patrons of the Office into the street TO deliver their
mail to them, he put il back again.
few DAYS after Burget McCOnnaughey came
into the Office and demanded Mr.. Scott package,
(Which proved to be u small book for polling the
voters of his SUBJ school district and got ii, and at
the same time the clerk in the Office fully explain
ed to McConnaughey why Mr.. Scott had not gotten
il before. Still, McCOnnaughey, with these facts
before him. goes TO st. CiIirSNille and falsely re
ports that held back purpOSely this book. III |
held that one back purpOSey why not all OF them?
Now, what desire TO say particularly IS this
That since took charge OF the poStOiic in Bridge
port not one piece of mail matter has been delayed
one hour, intentiOny, longer than 1t was possible
to deliver il; and Furthermore, that | have time
and again give the stricteSt Instructions 10 the
clerks TO deliver as promptly TO Republicans as to
Democrats all campaign and political documents
that might come to our Office for them.
The charge that | have purpOSely delayed mail
Is a serious one, and involves not only gross
dereliction of duty but violation OF oath OF Oince,
an of which charges brand as false. | am happy
to be able to refer to every business man and firm
in Bridgeport that this Office has never been so
Nsw, Mr.. Editor, as YOU published the charges
against me- | desire that you give my reply the
same publicity. JNo; COOKE, I. NJ,

WHICH WAS IT? BACON OR
SHAKESPEARE.

The authorship of the dramatic pro-
ductions attributed to the last of the
above-named is agitating literary circles
to the very centre, but affects the prac
tical masses far less than the momentOuS
question, how to regain or preserve health,
that essential of bodily and mental ac-
tivity, business success and the pursuit
of happiness" We can throw far more
light on this latter subject than the most
profound Shakespearian can on the ques-
ton first prOpounded. If the system is
depleted, the nerves shaky; if indiges
ton or constipation bothers one at times,
or constantly; if the skin is yellow and
tongue furred as in biliousnesS; if there
are premonitory twinges of OncOming
or neuralgia; if the kidneys
are inactive-use HOstetter's Stomach

dies. Remember, if malaria threatens or
affiicts, that it neutralizeS the poison and
fortifies the system. II lin

TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

The first regular meeting Of the BEL
mont County Teachers Association Tor
the present school year was held in School
Hall. st. Clairsyille, on last saturday.
The attendance was small, only about
forty teachers being present, but the in
terest and enthusiasm was fully up to
the average meeting.
Owing to the late arrival of many OF
the teachers but brief forenoon session
was held. Vice President A.W. Creamer
presided, and F. W. Wenner was chosen
Secretary. pro TEN. Several items OF
business were transacted, and the Asso-
citation adjourned till 80 P NJ.
The exercises of the afternoon session
were opened with two excellently render
ed selections by the st. ClairSville Glee
Club. The singing of this Club is always
delight to the members of the Assocla-
ton. The program of the day was then
taken up. The discussion of the subject
of Fossils" was opened by J. q. Taggart
in a brief talk The discussion of this
subject was continued by MeSSrs. Dun
can, Wenner, Patterson, Sparks, and
Pierson.
The discussion brought out the follow
ing points: The teacher who has ceased
to improve or who has ceased to use all
opportunities afforded him for his i'm
prOvement has begun Ito fossilize." Eos
sils are fit only "be laid on the shelf"
Next followed an excellent paper by
Miss Marry B. Crafty, on Some Changes
in Methods" This paper gave rise to a
spirited discussion of many of the
Methods used in school work. Messrs.
Creamer, Patterson, Duncan, Pierson.
and others took part in this discussion.
The conclusion reached was that the
teacher to be successful must have well
defined and proper method for every part
of his work; that instruction without or
der and method is failure.
In the absence of Mr.. Murphy, Supt E.
E. Sparks kindly consented to give talk
on History" Mr.. Sparks gave a brief
outline of his plan of teaching History,
which was well received by the AssOcia-
tion. The subject was further discussed
by Messrs. Jones, Duncan, Creamer, Wen
ner, and others.
The time of adjournment having ar
rived, the consideration of other subjects
had to be postponed.
During the afternoon beautiful duet
was sung by Misses Ida and Nellie An
dersOn, with Miss Jessie Morton at the
organ.
The following officers were elected for
the coming year: President, c. w. Pat
tersOn; Vice-PresidentS, \. p. Myers, j
L. King, Arthur Powell; Secretary
Laura Close; Treasurer, E. d. Meek; Ex-
ecutive Committee, James Duncan, Miss
Nettie Eaton, J. G. Taggart; Com. OF
Bureau of Information, L. H. Waters.
A hearty vote of thanks was rendered
the Glee Club for their excellent music.
Supt. E. E. Sparks made an excellent
impression on the teachers, as this was
his first time of meeting with them.
\. w. Creamer presided with his usual
vigOr and exactneSS.
The next meeting will be held at Burr's
Mills in December.
The Bridgeport, Bellaire, and Martins
Ferry teachers were fairly represented
but where were the BarneSville and Flush,
ing teachers?

GEORGE HENDERSON, a well-knoWn cit
izen of Wheeling township, residing near
Shepherdstown, died suddenly, about 3
o'clock on Tuesday morning, aged SO
years. \ year or SO ago deceased was in
jured in the shoulder by an accident on the
Cleveland, Lorain and Wheeling Railroad,
since which time he had complained
more or less of pain in that region. On
the morning named he arose from his
bed little before 3, and awakened some
of the family, telling them that his
shoulder panied him so badly that he be-
lieyed he could not stand it much longer.
In short time he laid down on lounge
and died almost instantly. 1t is thought
that the pain in the shoulder was from
rheumatism, and that it attacked the
heart. Deceased leaves a wife-daugh
ter of NJ. G. Overbaugh, of this place,
and four grown children, the fruits of
former marriage. His funeral takes
place to-day (Thursday). lnterment at

are that they are preparing as heretofore
some lying campaign circular, which
they will spread broadcast when it is too
late to meet it in print. The Democratic
managers are desperate, and will not
scruple to circulate any infamous story,
hoping that it will aid their sinking
cause. 1t will be safe to brand any story
circulated, from now on, by the De
