The Harvest Home.

The Harvest Home Picnic, which was
held in Stewards Grove, south of town,
on Wednesday of last week, drew a
large crowd, but not so large as on simi-
lar occasions in former years. There
were several counter attractions, such as
the Pennyroyal Reunion, Epworth Park,
and the Prohibition picnic on the day
following,all of which tended to diminish
the Harvest Home attendance. The speak
ers were A. A. Giffen, Esq, of Powhatan,
and Colonel Robert White, of Wheeling.
and their addresses: were along lines of
interest to persons engaged in agricul
tural pursuits. Rev. S. r. Frazier, who
had been announced, Was not present.
The New Athens Band was present, and
enlivened the occasion with stirring airs.
OF course the main feature of such
events is not the speeches, but the oppor-
tunities such gathering affords for So
cial enjoyments, and as picnic the day
was an entire success. Already it has been
determined to hold picnic next year,
and to make the Harvest Home perma-
nent institution.

Prohibition Convention.

The Prohibitionists held their County
Convention and picnic on the Fair
grounds on Wednesday, as had been pre-
viously announced. A fair representa-
ton of the party was present, and these,
accompanied by their wives and children,
made up moderate crowd. Il commit
tee to name a county ticket was appoint
ed, and this committee, after due delib-
Grafton, reported as follows:
Representative-A. A. Giffen, York.
Probate Judge-DrD.W. Long, Pultney,
Treasurer. B. Lowe, Pease.
Pros. Att'y-T. w. Shreve, Pease.
Commissioner Robert Griffin, Warren.
Inf Director-Jacob Hoover.
After the nominations had been made
Gideon P. Macklin, the Prohibition can
didate for Governor, was introduced, and
he spoke for about an hour and half
He advocated free trade, and was es-
pecially bitter toward the Republican
party. He stated that he was born and
bred Democrat, which may account for
his hostility to the Republican party. Mr..
Macklin is not an orator, but is able to
present his views in a fairly accepta-
BILE manner. OF course he does not ex-
pect to be elected, but just the same he

Anothar Instance

Rev. Thomas Love. of Fairpoint, was
in town Tuesday, and made THE CHRON-
lCLE pleasant call. Mr.. Love believes in
voting for the principle that will do most
for mans business. He votes accord
ingly for Protection, and says that by
the Democratic victory of last fall he is
out of pocket about $3.50 on his wool
production. He tells us news too-simi-
liar to that which comes from every 9th
er part of the county-of three men in
his neighborhood whose income was re-
duced this year by the low wool prices,
and who, heretofore Democrats, have
been brought to see the nonsense of free
trade ideas, and have taken a VOW never
again to cast ballot for such ideas.

dent sees fit to send special message to
Congress ON the subject.
Mr.. Outhwaite, of Ohio, made sad
mistake in referring to the mifortunes of
Charlie Foster, in answer to Hepburn, of
Iowa, the other day. The Kisses that
crept through the House showed him his
mistake, and although good deal excit-
ed, he sat down.
Joe Cannon made rafting speech, to
the surprise of everybody, against the re
peal of the Sherman act. Truly, where
are we all ?-but Joe is from the West,
and does not see things as the Eastern
brethren do. Mr.. Allen, of Miss, who
has held the post of humorist of the
House, since the death of Sunset Cox,
bids fair to be laid in the shade by Mr..
Pense, of Colorado, who has made his
second speech in the House. The bril-
liant manner in which he turned his wit
upon Senator Voorhees, and Mr. Bynum,
of Indiana, who had been his teachers, as
he said, upon the free coinage question,
convulsed the House. Several of the
best speeches have come at the last of the
debate.

The Rain.

The rain of Monday and Tuesday was
pretty general in this section of the-OhiO
valley, and was Godsend to the couL.
try. Grass and corn both were burning
up for lack of moisture, while streams
and wells were almost entirely dry over
"a large extent of country. The rain was
a soaker, and thoroughly permeated the
ground, filed up wells and cisterns,
and started streams to flowing. Most
corn was past relief by rain, but some
late corn will be benefited. However,
the farmer will be the chief gamer in
pasture, and also in having the ground
softened up for fall seeding. The town
a week ago would have been perfectly
helpless in case of fire, and many persons
now breathe more freely that all the cis-
terms are full.

Burned The Brooder.

A small fire at the home of /. s. Pow
ers, created great excitement Sunday
morning. Mr.. Powers has an incubator
His chickens had been Matched, and were
in the brooder, which sat in the coal
house. Before going to church Mr.. Pow
ers had turned the lamp up slightly, and
had by accident moved it little out of
position, so that it stood just under a
board. The board took fire soon after
Mr.. and Mrs. Powers had left home. The
blaze was discovered and soon extin-
guished, only trifiing damage being
done, and that to the brooder. The
chickens were all safely taken out but
one.

A Woman's Devotion.

A woman in Bellaire had her husband
arrested for beating her. and the Mayor
imposed fine of S75 on the husband and
committed him to the work house. When
the woman found in what trouble her
husband was she relented and plead with
the Mayor for his release. But the Mayor
was firm, and refused to let the man off.
The woman then wanted her husband
out, as bad as she had wanted him in,
and accordingly, during the storm on
Monday night, armed with a crow-bar,
she went to the lookup, pried the bars
off window and aided her husband to
escape. She is now under arrest and
will likely 60 to the work-house herself.
The case again illustrates wOman's de-
votion to her husband, even though badly
mistreated by him.

Kintner,s Horse Sale

The horse sale of j. g. Kintner at the
Fair grounds last Thursday, drew fair
sized crowd of prospective buyers, but
not so many as the great number of fine
animals warranted. At the beginning
the bidding was not brisk, and several
good horses went for low prices. The
bidding, however, soon warmed up, and
the prices received for a number of the
best bred horses in the collection were
nearer their worth. Several thorough
breds were disposed of at fancy prices at
private sale, and Mr. Kintner remains on
the ground with a number of others,
which will be for sale, unless sold before,
up to the date of the Fair.

NOT EXACTLY NEWS.
A Few General Remarks and Familiar
Reflections.

/
An unique plan for keeping track of {
livly boy among the crowds at the
Worlds Fair, was that pursued by j. W
shannon, of this place. 1t is almost i'm
possible to avoid being separated from {
child unless he is kept securely tied t.
you, so Mr. Shannon put tag on the
boy. showing the address at which the
family were stopping, and directing that
he be sent to that address. By this plar
boy might be turned loose in the morn
ing to roam at his sweet will through
Jackson Park. and his parents need have
little uneasiness of his turning up in the
evening at their boarding place.
Two young men of this place are being
guyed by their friends as the victims of a
little harmless joke. These gentlemen
started one evening to call on VivaciOus
young lady who is visiting friends in
town, and not knowing the precise loca-
ton of the house, they made inquiry OF
another young lady. The second young
lady promptly directed them 10 the wrong
house, up to which the young men
marched, rang and inquired for the Ia
dies on whom they wished to call. They
were, of course, received with blank
amazement in which some indignation
was at first mingled. Some time was
consumed in explanation and apology,
and our heroes proceeded to the house
pointed out to them, and which was next
door.
A popular merchant of this place had
rather curious experience during the
storm on Monday night. Being soundly
asleep he was suddenly aroused by ter
rifle blow on the head. Visions of rob-
berry and murder flashed through his
waking brain, and with wild shrek he
leaped into the middle of the floor ex-
pecting every moment to be felled by an
other blow from his would-be assassin.
In search for a match he executed an
Apache war dance to the weird music
of the rain upon the window pane
When he finally procured a light he dis
covered that large piece of plastering
above his head had been loosened by a
leak i'll the roof and had fallen.
