LADOGA ITEMS. 1- mm last Thursday's Herald.

Mr. Robert Morris has become a citizen ol our place. Mr. Morris is moving his saw mill close to town, on 31. C. Harrison's farm south of town, «4 ./J

Nute Duckworth, of Crawfordsvilie, and 3iiss Minnie Wright, were married a few days since. He has wooed and won a most worthy and amiable lady. 31 r. A. J. Daugherty arrived home from his Westernftour looking hale and heart}r. His bachelor friends are at ease once more as he did not bring his dear with him, and therefore he will be able to attend the club as usual.

Mr. Samuel Overstreet has sold his wagon shop and residence to 3Ir. O--of Russellville. 3Ir. O. is moving into the old hotel on Main street.

tOVIXOTOS ITEMS. From last Thursday's Journal.

We learn that the recent snow storm has occasioned immense damage to the fruit trees throughout this county. Entire orchards are destroyed i.i many localities.

We were shown }resterday by W. D. Kerr, a portion of a human jaw bone, dug up by the workmen on the railroad over the river. The piece shown us indicated that the jaw was of unusual size and we are informed that the remaining portions of the skeleton are proportionately large. It is supposed to have been the skeleton of an Indian.

It certainly must be gratifying to our citizens to see the work progressing so favorabtyjon our East and West railroad. The contractors on the east and west banks of the Wabash are pushing the work forward rapidly, while 3Ir. Dawes, the bridge contractor has a large force at work excavating for the piers, which he is confident he will have up above highwater mark before the spring freshets put in an appearance.

The anti-East and West railroad folks of VanBuren township are agitating a railroad from LaFajrette, via Newtown and Chambersburg to Perrysville. We have no idea" the road will be built indeed we are sure of it, if it is necessary that the enterprise shtll have the "last dollar" of Judge Coats, which he has pledged to it. LaFayette will never substantially aid the road, because the canal will carry Fountain county coal to her doors at one-half the rates the railroad would, were it built. She has the canal now—the railroad is to be constructed.

ATTICA ITEMS. From last Thursday's Ledger.

The drug stock of James H. Dazey was sold at Sheriffs sale on Tuesday, to satisfy various judgments. 3Irs. Mary 3Iiller sold j-esterday to Zac-hariah Pyles, the stone house next to Grace Church, for one thousand five hundred and eighty-four dollars, cash.

The engineer and conductor of the freight train which collided with the passenger train here recently, have been discharged.

A few days since 3Ir. William Clapham sold to William Sloan t'.venty-seven hogs averaging three hundred and forty-five pounds each. Also a stock pig, four months old, which brought twenty dollars.

The provision store of Jenkins & Co.. was closed by the Marshal on Tuesday morning, said Marshal being armed with an execution in favor of Ball fc Sons, Lafayette.

Tuesday, in Warren Common Pleas Court, came up the much talked of gravel road suit. This suit is brought by stockholders against the directors, the former party alleging that the latter are not directors, on account of informality in their notices, etc. The gist of the suit is to break up the gravel road organization. Judge Larue remarked, on hearing the case argued by the attorneys, that it involved graver and more important questions than any case that had come before him since he came to the bench, and took the matter under advisement, requesting further information from counsel. Marshall M. Milford, Captain Rice and James McCabe for plaintiff Gregory fc Harper, and Chase for defendants.

Lot Morrill has been appointe United States Senator from M.'dne to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Senator Fessenden.

BEXTO.V COUNTY ITEMS.,,, From last Thursday's Tribune. I

Hunters say that 3Iallard ducks are more plenty than Teals the present season.

The stone work is being put up for the Pine Creek bridge at Pine Village.

The weather was so cold last week that several men froze their feet while cutting corn at Hickory Grove. .•

The People of Big Pine are excited over a case in which a wedding came to a sudden termination. The parties are highly respectable and well known, and as the matter is to undergo official investigation, we await the developement of the facts in the case. The parties were married and in one short hour thereafter, separared, and have not yet seen each other face to face, though they are both in the same neighborhood. And what is more inexplicable still, there is no cruel parient" to keep them apart. Cowardice on the part of the groom, it is alleged, is the reason, but this seems very unreasonable indeed. Gossip lovers will have to possess their souls in patience until the matter is investigated.

REPUBLICANS AND COUNTY PAPERS.

"Chronicle," the Indianapolis correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, thus writes, with a considerable grain of truth, of the Republican party and the county newspapers, in a late letter to that paper:

paper can feel confident of the united

support ol the Repxiblicans of the

couuty, no matter how good a paper

he may publish, or how many sacri

fices he may himself make for thej party. All that is necessary in order to secure opposition is to allow an impression to get abroad that he is making a living rather than losing money, and he is quite sure to have it. He may have invested a large amount of money in his office, and gone into debt with the belief that the outlay is justified, and his efforts will be appreciated, but for a thousand dollars a small paper may be started which may cause him much annoyance and spoil all his plans. People will patronize it because it is new, because it is a Republican paper, and because, in nine cases out of ten, they may avoid personal abuse in its columns by so doing. The county printing must be divided, and if the custom has been to give the editor the post office to assist him, two editors can not have it, and neither one gets it. Added to this is a reign of starvation prices for work and advertising and job work, and of bad feelings generally. This acts in turn upon the party, which is divided into factions, bitterly opposing each other, and personal animosities must be carried to the polls. This is a state of affairs which should be remedied, for the party is losing more strength 011 account of it than is dreamed of by nine-tenths of the people. I know of many counties in the State where the majority has been cut down, year after year, when it should have been increased, and it is owing more to opposition newspapers, or want of patronage to any of them, than to almost anything else. Republicans in every county should, through their Central Committee, county officers and other influential men, fix some

PER YEAR

basis upon which some one paper should be put upon a firm, strong and independent basis, and frown down opposition where it will result in injury and death to all concerned. Democrats are wise enough to act upon this rule, and the exceptions are very rare to the rule that but one Democratic paper can be started and sustained in a county. So, of course, there ma}' be exceptions—and more of them, because there are more of them—in the Republican ranks, but they should be very rare. The general rule should take the place of the present exception, and publishers of county papers should be taken oft' their present basis of poverty and dependence, and made to feel secure in their positions. They would then be less liable to fall into the nets set by scheming and craft}' politicians, working for their own promotion at the sacrifice of the party and their own friends.

One source of weakness, which should be one of strength to the Republican party, is the quality of their county newspapers. Taking Indiana newspapers as a class, they will be found to be far below those ol" another State, East or West, in either eharai-n-i- inthionee. This is not the faim, of uro publishers so much as of the people. With Cincinnati on the southeast, Chicago on the northwest and Indianapolis between the two, the papers of those cities are something of an obstacle, but this alone would not or should not prevent a liberal patronage being given to local papers, if the}7 were good ones. As a proof of this, some of the best county papers in the State are published at points within three hours ride of Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Chicago. The papers in the northern part of the State are far in ad vance of those in the central or southern, the population there being made up to a greater extent of reading people from the Eastern States. The chief obstacle, and the one which overshadows all others, was touched upon by Mr. Medill, of the Chicago Tribune, in the address delivered by him before the publishers of the Slate pated. last May. It comes irom the lactj Another bridge, across the Ohio that the editor of no Republican I

The Wabash river is in a very low stage and throughout this section of country there begins to be a complaint of a scarcity of water in the wells. Should we have a dry winter, «, which we think bids fair to be the case, a great many wells will utterly fail, and water for stock will be an object.— William,sport. Republican.
