I t wilt-be more accurate to say-1854 or ,1855 instead o f the years previously; rnuned. I t might possibly he a ye/nr Inter,, hut n o tlik e ly . The tokens, therefore, must have lain hidden away in the old church for. over a' third of a century. When the frame work o f the old church was- set up, the men q I the congregation made it quite a gala day. Coming from all parts o f the congre­ gation, with well filled baskets pre­ pared by the .ladies, the event blended a most essential work with ft season of feasting and rejoicing, und, as far as .cau -be learned. Was the first picnic of the congregation. IieV Joshua R* Kyle, o f Amsterdam, NVY. (who is rt sou of the congregation), in, giving . giving some rentiniweepees o f the old cl hi 1dr and first pastor, says; “I remember very distinctly the dav upon which - the frame ' of the utd church jvas raised, My mother sent me aud fmy twin sister and n younger brother with -a basket o f provisions lor the dinner provided by the con­ gregation for the men who raised the buildiug. As We lived a mile or more south of Cedarville and as we were / small, I remember that the basket be came very heavy before we reached town. Bu t I regarded t ns a- great event .of my boyhood life, and it made.- a lasting impression ou my -mind. , y ■ “ I t my memory serves jam right, there were nothing but benches, with no backs, to them, in the old Baptist church when the congregation was organized and while the supplies were . preaching before that date, and for some weeks after, out ip their eager derire •to hear the Gospel those people looked upon that «8 no hardship. “There.was a little incideut which occurred on oueo f the Babbaths wheo young Mr. Prtsaly was preaching, thut so impressed itself upon my boy­ ish mind that I have never forgotten It, Robert Kendall, a CuUsiu of mine, and some oue else whose name I do not remember, laughed in church a t something that amused them, io r which youthful lolly Mr. Breasly re­ buked them Irom the pulpit. The following week Mr. PrtSsly Was visit­ ing a t the house of Robert Kendall's father and, while there, told toy cousin, I suppose by Way u f apology, that the reuson he rebuked him was that it he had not done #o, he, Fr&sely, would have laughed liinnjalf,” (fl fats public rebuke to the boyish mind wa* a most stafiHng' thing.) “As i f ^ - member young :Vrw»ly At that early day, h« was a youfig toau loud of voice and of great earnestness iu the pulpit. "■ “ Oue of roy first recollections of Mr, James Buchanan V’as oho Bab- b;uh morning in particoiar, J l was * warm. summer day and i rdmewber seeing hint ride up to the church, carrying off the Jiofti of the saddle be fotc him a large family Bible for u»s in the pulpit, and, hitching h’w horses to the rail, fence in front of^ the . church, walked into the house with a smile of peace on his face. “Another Babbsth day (I d° out romernbey the preacher1# name), in the latter pa rt of March, 1 My brothers James aud William had>both Lord's Day,' J t whb what in those , days was culled “ making their ap­ pearance,” From which- we judge that the event created no little Sensa­ tion and divided the .in terest' o f the services. ” T have the .most-vi vid recollection of the last time .Mr. Bucliahau ap­ peared in the church before his death. I t was probably in the latter part of the month of January, 1847. I t was ou Sabbath*, aud it was a cold winter day. My father went very .early to church, usually,arriving there before anyone . else. When I entered' toe church I remember aeeiug my father and yoting’Mr Buchanan sitting by the stove .with their 'faces toward the congregation. When the peopfowere all assembled, Mr, Buchanan arose and walked in front of the polpi( and ■aid that they- would have to excuse him from preaching that morning for he Was not able to preach. He was very pulelooking and his voice was very'weak. That was the last, time he’was ever iu the c h u r c h . I think I can truthfully say th a t lew,-ministers have ever been loved more while they lived, or were so sincerely mourned when they died than Mr, Buchanan. “ I well remember ii meeting that was held to talk over the matter o f organizing a Sabbath school, but haye po recollection of the j-t-ur that meet­ ing took place. I remember thut one of the members of the church opposed it, saying that it would cost a t least1 Ten Dollars to get books for a school. As-to the teachers of the Sabbath- school hi those early days I can hard* ly remember any of them, My sister M m Betsey Turnbull, was one, ami- M rs .‘William Bull wad another,’ I think my aunt, Parks Jack sou's mother, wus auotlmr. - I also think tha t Mrs, Fluney Stewart was another.

Conley, CedarVllle ; t > m a rttv # coNWYXfc The matter o f furniture for the court house now presents ii^self in a serious manner. Some time back the entire commission visited eastern points to examine and compare the furniture of the different firms, the trip being made at the request of the companies an d 'a t their expense. I t has turned out. that there are,.only two bidders for'the metal furniture, such as roll cases, metal shelving, etc.,’ and here is where the hoard have be­ come divided,’ The amount-'required for .such furniture is something like SB,000. _ ' • * ' ■ - J . B. & J . M. Cornell and the Art Metal Construction Company, both of New Yofk, are the bidders, The lat- jter firm is something like $800 lower on the bill than is the former com- p u n y . While: e a s t fhe .com­ mission Was under Ihe opinion that there was little difference in the qual­ ity and designs of the two companies’ work, but since .(heir arrival home, there seems to have been n great change over some of the members. The board lifts bad three meetings and has'fHTled to come to any conclu­ sion, and the prospects are that things will stand as they are for the,present at least, a s neither side is wfiling to give tip, Messrs. A^ Wihkershnm, George Little and H, M, Brfrber stand for the lowest firm, the A rt Meta!-Con­ struction ' Company,' while Messrs, John Fudge, Harvey Nash, Lewi* Smith and Squire Ferguson Are hold­ ing out for the highest bidders, the Cornell people. I t requires five votes to come to ft decision. , , This, is uot the first time the board i«8 become divided, foy when the ebu- t motor was ready, for the tile roofing,; the company that was to turnish same raised the price over $1500 on tise contractor’s bid. • He appealed to the commission for aid, stating that he wag being held up. The boatd divid­ ed on this question, the three county commissioners standing against the four members of the commission.; The latter won out, as the commissioners were “forced to give in, and a new tile was selected, thus throwing down lb# American Tile Company. A large sheet of paper has been put up in the commissioned room, show* ing the entire bids.from both compa? nfeB. Everything has been tabulated and made as plairt as possible, yet these lour men have failed to see the difference of $800. Since the above was written we have secured the exnel figures.

K A ‘number of yiapefo have been publishing articles to the effect'that Representative Allen had introduced a bill for the -ralistricting .the- state, and that Greene coun ty ' Would be thrown in with Montgomery and Bnfc- ler, thus making! the third district. A t present wo are in the siktlf The counties with us a t present are Clin­ ton, Highland, Warren, Clermont and Brown, all Republican counties, which accounts for ’ us having * Re publicau congressman. BhouldGreeqe be thrown iu with Montgomery and. Butler, it is doubtful whether there ever would be a Republican congress­ man, as Dayton und Hamilton alone have more, iuhahitnnts than all o f Greene coun ty .. The larger cities of Butler and Montgomery strongly' Democratic.. Further, what ReplibU can forces these counties have are atrougly in favor of the Fffrakcr peo fie, as against the H-arma faiction, It can' readily be seen that Greene county would be powerless when, it came to. selecting a congressman Representative Ankeuey has ‘ prom­ ised to use all ‘his iufluence against such a bill, throwing Greene with such counties aa Montgomery*- and Butler. Fo r our oWu interest We Would say let “ well enough alone,” for should such a change be made i t means that Grfiene county would find herself in poor chances for a congress- man. , - • . ,- ; <.■ A* t • ; ,<f . . - - . -*. 1 Applicants for the position as Stew­ a rd a t the- Dayton-S tate—Hospital have been (jobbing up rather lively hereof late.

Several weeks ago Mayor Wolford was called upon to perform a marriage a t the midnight hour at the- request of the father aud prospective son in­ law. Monday evening these came parties, recognising the. Mayor’s official position, soon arranged to ba h i s .Honor's* guests. Monday ^ifter- nooD, George Galloway and hi# son- in-law, Samuel McGinnis, obtained too much of the “O-be-joyful” and were warned by .' the officers several times to leave town aud go home. However, in the evening they-ware taken in and quartered in the Mayor’s bastile for a portion of the evening, with Marshal'Grindle to' fulfill, their wants or a t least a portion of them. This being the regular meeting night of council.quite a number ed outsiders were present, and" throughput the evening George would remind them of his presence. He plead most earn­ estly with the officer .lor his re’ease, owing to the,fact that he had business that must be attended to before (lie jour of closing for business houses. Nevertheless he remained until about the midnight hour, when he was given lie freedom, along with the sotwin aw. Tuesday morning they appeared jefore the Mayor in quite a different igbt irom . what . they (lid several months back. This' being the first appearance of McGinnis he was re­ cused with a light fine. But George iftS registered quite frequently with the corporation arid ,he had to go down'into his “jeans’’ fot the regnla tion price. He wus also given to understand that .his son had failed to jay for his board and lodging, which iC had stood good for. Consequently George was called upon to square up all bills or he might haye an opportu­ nity of taking up the a rt of brooiii making. George ib now square With the Corporation. WE HAVEN'T IT.
