No# it so happened that iu « cer­ tainytowu there was » preacher who resembled another nmu so closely that many men who did not go to church as often us they should, often get them mixed. . Therefore, it came to pass that one day a certain man of the unregeii- erate kind met the preacher, and the latter being bowed down by the sins, and wickedness pf the world, looked neither to the .right nor the left. •So he passed by swiftly, and the, unregenerate man, taking him for the “Other fellow/ said to him, “What makes you tool/so damn sour?” and the reverend geutleman was. more than' ever convinced that what his town needed most of all was a revival of religion. ■ ' an aw m ■§ ■« mm » »» %* *« *.

A. small lx>y who could not have been over two years old when Bryau ran for president, walked along the street putting at a cigarette, emitting putts of smoke like a steam tug. ' Being a landsman we have uever seen «. steam tug emit Ftuoke; but that they (id it we are assured by the fact that we have read it in bookB. More* over, they always “emit” smoke 4 A man said to him: “Hey, there, kid, where did you get that cigarette?” That alao varied from the stories you iread in the books. . Iu the books, the kid would have been been approached by an elderly genitsman wearing gold bowed spec, taelea, an old fashioned plug hat, a Prince Albert coat, frayed at the edges, and one button miming on the back,. His trousers would have bagged out a t the-knees, and his bools needed blacking a t the heels. The man would have had a slight cough and showed signs of consumption. We are sorry that we cannot tell the story according to the regulations in the books on rhetoric, but being a true story, we are obliged to pay more regard to history than to our darn in­ clinations, The man wore a business-caitr * Jnr down collar, and bow tie. He looked no different from hundreds of other business men. In the books he would have laid hie hand on tbs boy's bead and said: “My eon, don't you know that fan are imperiling your health by smoking that vile cigarette. And do yod know that you are likelf to till an an eariy grave?” Bat this man had no symptoms of tNberimieeiav so he only said: “ Kid, where d'ye- get that cigaroot; “ it’ll kill yon deadern a hammer,” In the hooks the kid would have said: “What you do you care?” Being a true story, and not a fairy tale, we asuet observe the verities, however we might wish if otherwise. And the kid said: “Ah, what do you eareT That was the only thing in this true storv that happened like it la- hitilriWWWWwi And the kid went on down the street “ emBtfog smoke like a steem t a g / not dariag a «e#t whether he itted an emrly grave or not. .

But the best euconiutu we have hf-ard oii our little city was spoken by Mr. J , D. Williamson. We were talking of the paper? road by local talent a t our Farmers’ Iu* Btitute, and Mr. Williamson remarked that one of the State speakers told him that this was the best institute' he had ever attended. Then Mr, Williamson went on to speak of the many grand men that this town tun! vicinity had scut out into the world and finally wound up bv saying; “I have al­ ways said one thing about Oedarville and that is that there is only one town that can heat her and that town is Chicago.” ’ Mr. Williamson has plenty of ar­ guments to Uphold his statement and if you don’t believe it, just talk to him for five minutes nud he will con­ vince you of the fact. Often children can devise means for eettlingriiings in an amicable Way, that' are puzzling to older people. The story goes that a family were once entertaining several ministers for dinner. As they took their seats, there was an embarrassed pause, tlie hostess not knowing how to ask one minister to say grace, without offend­ ing the others. The small son how* ever grasped the situation and settled it in a way that boys have of settling their disputes. Half rising iu his seat he rapidly pointed his finger front one minister to the other reciting: “Eny mene miny mo, Catch a nigger by the toe.” He ended by pointing his finger at a solemn old Baptist minister and shouting ‘‘you’re it.” The minister accepted the situation and said grace, but it lacked the solemn tones, with which he generally performed that duty. The society notes in the papers are informing us that cats are fast taking the place of dogs as pets for women. And that the stylish women iu the cities are affecting a liking for the feline animals, no matter whether they have liked them or not. It does seem to us that this is carrying style to extreme foolishness. The Women of {he land had better be following the exampleof Hclcu Gould and turn ing their attention to the bettering of humanity, and doing something that would be worthy the name of women, than devoting their time to these brntes I suppose if it lyere the style to pet mice,the women would in some way overcome tfieir horror and dislike for this animal and have one follow­ ing them wherever they would go. The fad however, of petting cats will put an end to the saying that only old maids like cats, and young girls if they really want a pet cat can have one without the fear of becoming an old maid, *** The following letter was received last week by a gentleman of this vll lage in regard to a young man who is working for him.

They arrived at Clamp Chase, Col­ umbus, in the evening, nud there being no quarters for them, they camped in the woods just outside the, brigade lines, The boys cut hazel brush for beds, and slept as well as could be expected under the new regiment. Gapt. Bogle, the uext morning, asked one of his.men. Smith Buck, who slept next to him, how he felt. Buck, to the great merriment of alliu hearing, said: “ I dept bettor than I have done any night since 1 hnve been in the army.” Ot course that was the first night he had been in the., army. The first morning in. camp, the hoys were busy cutting brush and fixing temporary quarters, (tents lmd not yet been provided,) when n mounted orderly rode into their midst and ordered nit three com­ panies inside the lines. Thev imme­ diately ceased the erection o f brush booths, and marched into the open field inside the brigade lines, where they were kept all day in the boiling hot sun with no. quarters, and with no way to cook rntjons, This cruel aud reckless treatment, caused the hoys to grow restless and out of sorts. Cupt. Bogle went to Captain Drake’s Headquarters; Drake was a regular army officer, and was unduly puffed up. Capt. Bogle told him the situs- tu n of the three companies from Ccd- nrvillo Township, and asked if they could not have quarters, Capt Drake replied: B “ 1 do not know.” Capt. Bogle then asked permission to take the companies back to the woods, where they had been the pre­ vious night. Cspt. Drake replied; “No sir, you must stay inside the brigade lines.” Capt. Bogle said: “But we have no quarters. Will wc be provided for?” Cspt. Drake said with an oath: “ We will provide you with quarters if we cau, if not, sir, hang yourselves up on the dog-fennel!” Capt. Bogle turned on his heel aud going straight to General Mason’s headquarters, reported Gapt. Drake’s language, and renewed his request to be permitted to march back into the woods. The result was General Afo son not only gave permission to the three canipanies to inarch out of the field into the woods, but appointed Capt. Bogle a Major, and gave him command of the three companies. Capt. B. then marched them info the woods, where they were encamped in more comfortable quarters, The next day Major Bogle was ordered to form a regiment -out of some ten com panics or more, which were iu tamp at the time, which was done; and Major Bogie was then appointed Colonel of the regiment, and placed in command of it dnring that memor­ able campaign. But the regiment did not help to capture Morgan. Eight companies of this regiment were from Greene county. The state militia had only been organized into companies, and not into regiments, Hence after the capture of Morgan, companies were sent home and this r*giwMMit»WMi numbered 7th Ohio fttate Militia, and paritatmt At the pPriftM *Vt (HT.WVVR , VwWnli W HHWQ5 B.

The. ladies’ gallery was ■ crowded with officer^ and members o f . the Ohio Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, while the ride galleries con­ tained many anti-salopn people, and representatives of the temperance societies. . ■ The author made a strong fight,; and there was considerable of debate, the discussions being quite lengthy.
