D ear O nb , s at H ome :—Your let ter .of December 2 was received this morniug. I was very glad to get ’it, fo ri have bad none from you for quite a while. I don't know what is the matter with the mail. Two letters seat only two days apa rt were Four weeks apart in beings received. Papers are always one or two weeks behind . letters of same dpte. • Mail, reaches here pretty, regularly! on Saturdays— that is if any comes at all. We have no Post Office; even Masbate, the capital .of. the Province, has no post- office yet: messengers are sent from town to town by the President®, and they gd lU no hurry.' The telephone line was broken in sevetal places, and lias been down between hero and Mas* bate now for seventeen days. Tbura- . day morning I took three police .and we went btJt n n i made one spike and put' up AVer brackets. W e had an Awful mean swamp to go through: nothing but roots, mud and water, and the roots nil seemed to run ver­ tical instead of horizontal. So it Was- very hard walking. After ws got back we heard of. two more breaks; • tended going niter them today, bu t didn't on account of rain. I t really was no business of mine, bnt I wanted to be able to find out n few things, from the rest of the world, once in bo often., This part o f ' the telephone limb is very bad because i t is strung on trees for about eight miles through swamps, and the trees away in the wind and ''eitfer jerk the insulators of! or break the wire ' I think 1 wrote in my last letter that we were having lots o f rain. Well, it rained for seventeen days and then wo had one week' of fine weather; not hot, but clear, warm and soon no mud. Today it 1* raining again, I have been well all the time but like Colorado Jadierj we have too much rain here to - We have strong northeast trade-wind* now that last for four or fivemonths yst, They arc a nuisance when U txnnes to sad ing between the different towns,. You tan get one way iu a hurry# bu t it's another thing to get back. A prao (a small eail-hoat), with supplies for inspector Grossman jat Palanas, and Oatingau, has lain here a week, waiting on the wind, with no iinme diate prospect of its going out. The two Oatingau teachers Came overland and on December 23d w.ft four teachers hired it prao for a trip to Masbate, We took our old cook, and two other passengers, and set out for a sail. When only about half­ way we were becalmed. We anchored at night and in the morning we had to row the rest of the way: got into Masbate abou t1:30 p. in. That night - wo all attended a ball given by a rich Phitipiuo woman, All the elite Phii- ipinos and Spanish were there; also the American officers and teachers, I c,m’t dance, bu t I certainly enjoyed tim supper, which was served in ten courses^ I escorted one of the prat tiest chocolate-colored girls ou t to supper, but she W*f more Iswhful yet than I, so she did not say much more . than “ Si Bettor” or “ No Bettor,* ba t We both ate with “ ftutebo gusto.* Christmas morning two more of the teachers came into Masbate fVom Milagroa^hout eighteen mile* west on flirTcoM We six had * good home, except no dust.. There are two companies of soldiers at Masbate and they had.a field, day; contest lasting from i;80 to 5:30. The officers and we teachers made op a purse of $75. for them, and we had lots of sport. They opened with a ball game which was very one-sided after the fourth inning, one side scoring, seventeen runs in the fifth. Then- races of all kinds, potato, sack, wheelbarrow, etc. Then jumping, shot putting, etc., winding up with a pillow fight. . A four inch pole was fastened about six feet from the grmind? and two men straddled it facing each other. Hack man had’a pillow and the first ‘fellow knocked ofl lost, provided rihe, other fellow did not have to touch the pole With liis hands to hold on. I never saw anything so funny in my life. There were eight couples, so we got to see seven fights, as the winners had to fight the other I winners. We laughed until our sides ached. . , That night the officers and teachers bad a little banquet. Seven teachers, two lieutenants, oue with his wife, the army surgeon, and two provincial officers; the treasurer, having just brought his wife dowu a few days be­ fore she haying lately eftme here from Texas to marry him. ' Well it was the jolliest crowd of fourteeuTve seen for many a day. ‘Everybody finally got to bed by oue o r'tw o o’clock, but some-of the company complained ot dullness the next day. We loafed a few days and bought what stuff we could'of- the soldiers to eat and then started for ; borne. We found the wind contrary and after losing instead? of- gaining we bad-to pull in, to,the coast and stopped a t a toWn called .Magdalena; I t is the prettiest place I ’ve seen on the whole island. I t is situated on the coast o f a little bay and just behind tbe town are the mountains. Two fellows nearly quarreled as to which should entertain us, but we finally went to the house of .the richest man in town# He has u fine large house and we were ' Well ’treated. We had a good supper and lots'of mats, pillows and blankets, but of course we used , our own blankets. We asked so many questions a t breakfast (coffee and crackers, Spanish style) that they brought out all their jewels and pic­ tures to show US. The gold hod been j>auned Out on tbe const a few miles distant. A fter dinner we re­ luctantly departed and went on to the next town, about six ini'es distant, Baliua (the name of this town) is a nice large town, but has lots of sink holes in i t which must make it un healthy. We Were no5 asked to eat here but were given a nice large room to .ourselves and plenty of mats, so were very comfortable. Next day we were off again with a breeze all right which in two hours took us to Arroroy, about twenty-five miles distent, This is where the most gold is found. Wc lnwl been out in a heavy rain, so found a miner a t home He gave us possession of his house# which soon looked like a washerwo­ man’s shack. After drying our clothes the Presidents allowed us to get sup per in his kitchen. Fo r every thing you want hero you go to the Brest den to. Two of us climbed a mountain about one-half mile high in the after# noon and had a magnificent view of the Sea *ud Islands. Wo could see Luzon add Samar,' beside several other Small iJands. We saw a few large trees, One that a fellow Was hewing into shape would have made a dozen or more inch boards seven feet wide and eighteen o r twenty feet long. The trees are somewhat irregular in Shape, although we saw others that were perfectly round ami straight, two feet in diametef and forty feet o f more without aMrnb. - ■ Toward# evening the wind seemed favorable and we Started again. We had to cross a bay and I knew we had to cross, a sand-bar, which was covered a t high rids# bu t it soon got dark and I coaid not see that bar until I heard i t right b * » e # «»* Folc* Hnd w em ao good# 80 the whole crew had time (for the\ next week Ohrittnuts day here was/just like July- 4th i i PRIMARY ELECTION RESULTS. Fight Was at Ftyer Heat For Justice of Peace—The Official Results. . A primary took place here. Satur­ day, supposedly’Bepublicau, btit the poll hooks will show numerous Demo­ cratic names. Like Xenia, we had a taste of “ machine” politics, but when the final vote was counted it proved that the “ machine” had lost every offied, but one, and that, Justice oF Peace. Boodle and whiskey were evident, for it was the first time iu our history that we-ever saw a Cedar- yille licensed saloouiat on the Btreets electioneering,. The price per head was twenty-five cents and a whiskey, and the flouting vote was soon rushed in. It was stated that the priniaiy Saturday was a farce but we say not, for the respectable voting public came out victorious, ouly. losing one office.' I t was a glorious, victory, taking into consideratiou with what ye hail to contend. The mniu-fight was for the small office of Justice of Peace, Jack- son,Bradford and Wolford being the'] candidates. “Plunkers,” ' a, political term, were put in by : the liquor ele-, meut as they had bqeu instructed. This is the reason Bradford and Wol ford were So far behind. ' The issue was this: “ Vote for Jackson; he staid with Ridgwny in the hook fight. Defeat Wolford.” It. is ’plain to be seen that while there Were two to elect, oue was enough for the Ridgway crowd. Squire Bradford suffered be­ cause he is known to be io oppoaUion to the liquor element. They were after Wolford to even “ old scores* because he- refused to vote for Bidg­ way in the book fight. The street commissioner enused a good contest# as did several of the other offices. In fact, the race was very close all round. For Trustee, x to elect, W, II. BABBEB. J . H . STORMONT.

The fight for centiai committee ^ Xenia city promises to be warm befme Ihe elec­ tion. is over. This body iofmen who have Control of the primaries are wholly icspouttible for tho defeat of the temperance cause in XeUia. In fact it is against their principle, for their main strength is received from the sa­ loon, element. The following are a few o f the citizens-who will “ buck the tiger” and endeavor to break the pres­ ent organization of the central com? mittee; Geo. Little, John A. Nishet, Hariy. Whitmer and Geo, R* Kelly, Is it any Wonder that Xenia is where she is today, for we are not surprised that, the central committee aud its henchmen as judges Jet Dem. ocrat after Democrat vote nt the pri- mary last Suiurday; Such men as Ik e Dines, BijJ Ruckles, E d Soliiiiidt# Cap Timmons, John Lewis and “ Grassy” Berry, the two last saloon- ists and all born and bred in the Dem- ocratic faith, and reared under Dem­ ocratic teaching, were induced to leave the party of their first love anti conie to the Republican party. These men were not fit for the Democrat party and their leavo was gladly granted by loyal Democrats. Bu t tbe Republican party, ever eager to broaden out, took in these “dyed iu- the-wool Democrats” and expected to make of them, first c la ^ Republican stock.; -The trouble has been with the honest Republicans in letting such men get a hold on the party by se­ curing control of (ho appointment of committees and judges. Xenia has now reaped what the devil has sown and Wc know of no other way* than let her “ grin and bear i t.” Possibly by the time she gels a few more sewer and echoul house bonds sold and the saloon element begins to eat jn to the very heart o f the' city#; people will came to their senses and oust the Democratic hoodlew in Republican garb. Oi.e party says; “ Had there- been anolher issue o f the Herald like tile last# a certain eepdidato would have deceived more voles than were polled,” No, the gentlemen is wrong.

We fear that this gentleman is a little “ sore,, Over., Saturday’s results. This same township.trustee is uovvn “ bed fellow” with the very people that fought him for his three terms. Obi consistency, Each and every man that cast his vote in Xenia for the election of moo (hat will enforce the law cast a vote that will be recorded for moral prin­ ciples, but each and every man that oast a vote for the freedom of lrtw breakers favored ‘ anarchical princi­ ples, Just So -in-.-this town, .every vote that was cast iu favor of the keeper ’of the “d.ive” and liis. .crowd whs cast to cr.ush the advancement'of' all moral principles. / .You are either on one side or the other, either for or against the' pro­ prietor qf the “ sink.” You can not be half way, it is a plain proposition. ,The latest is to purchase “ popular- t y ” , - .

The opiuiou seems to be with some that by putting Greenfe with Montgomery and Butler we will have a better op portunity/for . greater things. This movement was started by Doc Lowes and Congressman Nevm, of Dayton, solely for the purpose of advancing, their interests politically. Greene county with such ‘ns Clinton, Brown and Warren, is in her class, but when we are put with two counties that have more inhabitants in one city than has our own county, you' will find that we will, have fewer chances for anything in the way of appoint­ ments.'

Here she developed -from fehildhpod to woman- liopd, breathing the atmosphere of. a Christian and intelligent community and naturally became a diligent stu­ dent’ in our union ,schools,-where she made rapid progress. She was an obedieuf and promising child and' pupil, thereby endearing herself to parent and teachers and young school­ mates. Being of a quiet and gentle manner she made many friends arobng. her thoughtful associates. Her light shone like the ways of an April silu, bright-, euiog and warming the love' of all who came in touch with her j young life. She Was an affectionate daughter, faithful friend attd of a forgiving, spirit—with a strong will that fought bravely for life, conquering the dis­ ease-that preyed upon her young life for years, contending alone' lik e /a heroine for the “ life that now is.” She loved life,, and why should she not?

Dr. Brown# To&dhy, evo# Mar. 25, While there seems to, have been a wide difference of opinions on some subjects held by the session and con­ gregation, the subject of Union be­ tween the Associate Reformed and tbe* Appriatecliurchesdoesaotseemio' have created a ripple. At that time many other congregations werestirred thoroughly by the ejomiug Union, but ' tbis coogregatiou glided into the Uni- ted Presbyterian. Church without s jtu,- There is no ‘record of a single protest, Nq action, of-the session ia recorded on the subject. The dele­ gate who was appointed, to Presbytery ' seems: to have' been aware that the chatige. was inevitable and not one member refused to enter the United Church, am) the Associate Reformed Church ot Cedarville became the' United Presbyterian Church of Ce- - darvifie on Muy'26,,.1858, and at the moment when the, moderators of the two Synods, Dr. D. C. McLaren; fo f - ther-Associate Reformed, and Dr, J. 1. Cooper for the Associate, stood with clasped bauds, while the former said: “In the preseuce of this assetn- bly, in the presence of this Synod, in the prepuce of Almighi§- God, I ex-. tend ’to .you, my brother, tho right hand of fellowship, in love indeed# ” and may this Union be* to the glory of God forever! Amen,” while the hitter replied;—-“Most cordially I re- J ciprpcatq this expression, of ,mydeaf brother’s heart. Iu the name of the Associate Synod of North America* I give a brother’s band and a brotherV heart. Let our hands thus linked to­ gether bo the token and the emblem of this union. Here let us pledge onr mutual fidelity and oar mutual- ~ love, Let us bury in a common grave our pnst differences. Here we have uu/urled our banner, on one 'side in­ scribed THE TRUTH OF GOD, and on the other# FORBEARANCE IN LOVE. Let us follow our. glorious Captain# and seek to glory only in H'S cross.” * Today these mottoes blended into one adorn the walls of ou r church above the pulpit, because from that >y this the Church they represent has stood faithful to the sentiment ex- »'res?ed. Two questions concerningwhichtht- i.lsior held positive opinions, and upon which his sentiments had been expressed fearlessly and emphatically were temperance and slavery. Dim ing Ins pastorate the Country at largo Was shook to its very center by tho agitation of the abolition of slavery; It was a day of heated discussions and* alienations and sectional animositiee. The North and the South were whet­ ting swords, and the low muttering# in political circles presaged faintly the terrible conflict that wassoon to sweep over the country, Among tins mem­ bers at that ttuiowere some# together with a large number of those who were living. iii the community, who bad emigrated from the South., To many of tlicso it was the hr #J of their birth ami around it they entwined tender memories.
