THE EAGLE. FRIDAY JULY 16, 1869. Local & Miscellaneous.

Hew Advertisements. Notice to Non-Residents—McKee. Notice to Non-Residents—Grube Notice to Ncn-Residents — Thompson Prairie Ditching Association. The com crop presents a Very unpromising appearance, in this section. J3T The wheat harvest is about over in this section. The crop as to quality and quantity is the best We have had for ten years. g3F The Radicals of Mississippi propose to elect Judge Lewis Dent, of the Grant family, governor of that State. lie has signified his willingness to accept the nomination. Since Dent stock took an upward turn, Massachusetts carpet baggers are nowhere They used to monopolize all the fat offices, but Yankeedom under the Grant rule plays second fiddle.

John Blrdg, who at the April term of the Circuit Court was sentenced to the penitentiary for forgery, was on Tuesday placed in the custody of the Sheriff of this county, his case having been appealed to the Supreme Court, where the judgement and sentence were reversed, and he returned to this county for a new trial. His trial will take place at the November term of the Circuit Court.

Ji-fTTnE Jay County Republican says that another railroad meeting was held at Portland, for the purpose of hearing reports of stock solicitors of the C. R. & Ft. W. railroad. 8610 new subscriptions wore reported. ThaK is encouraging. Persevere, gentlemen, and by the time our children step into our places the money will be raised. Large bodies more slowly—deliberately might be added, also—very.

&& We saw a cadaverous looking individual the other day; we took him to be of the vampire species, who looked as if hope had deserted him, wishing we could have dry and pleasant weather once more. Said he: “I've lost just twenty-five pounds of flesh since these miserable rains commenced, and if they continue, the Lord knows what will become of inc.” It had been so long since the dirty cuss had bathed that he thought he was about to dissolve. We hope the rains will continue until he is thoroughly cleansed, even if wc do have to lose on crops thereby.

Don’t Fall worth a Cent! Brick” Pomeroy bag placed the business management of his papers in the hands ofC. P. Sykes an experienced publisher, and now devotes his entire time to the duties of the sanctum, where, relieved of business cares, he is making his giant weekly, Pomeroy’s Democrat the most readably paper ever printed. It is sharper than the La Crosse Democrat ever was—more than red hot, and full to the brim of laughable humorous articles; Saturday Night chapters, and those peculiar editorial, none others can or dare write. Send Tor sample copies, or subscribe by sending for it to the editor or publisher, P. O. box 5,217, New York City. He pays five hundred dollars cash, tor the largest club sent in before the 16th of September! The reports of Pomeboy’s faifuro are simply stories started by those who do not like his giant paper or his redhot style of editing a paper opposed to bondholders and official corruption.

C. R. & Ft W. Railroad. It is coming. We don’t hear the whistle, but if you will ride down the road you can see some two hundred hands at work on it l>c tween here and Richmond. Tics nre being delivered along the road bat not fast enough. Iron has been purchased to lay lietween this and Richmond, and track-laying will commence ere long. When we rememlier that four fifths of it was graded in 1866, we can see its no great thing to bring it this far this fall. There's a good time comihg for Winchester, and not a long way off, either. Our citizens arc get ting ready for it. So let it come. — Winchester Journal.

Oblo Democratic State Convention. The Democratic Convention of Ohio nominated the following ticket: Governor, General Rosccrans; Lieutenant Governor, L. J. Godfrey; Supreme Judge, W. H. Gilman ; Treasurer, J. S. Ruhrcr; At torncy General, Colonel Connel. The following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That the exemption from tax of over 82,500,000,000 in Government bonds and securities is unjust to the people, and ought not to be tolerated; and that we are opposed to any appropriation for the payment of interest on public bonds until they arc made subject to taxation. Resolved, That the claims of bondholders, that the bonds which were bought with greenbacks, and the principal of which is by law payable in currency, should nevertheless be paid in gold, is unjust, and, if persisted in, will/invoitably force upon the people tlkfijuestion of repudiation. Resolved, That we denounceihe high protective tariff, which was designed only in the interest of the New England manufacturers. That said tariff is ako, by its enormous on salt, sugar, tea, coffee and other necessaries, undersirably offensive, especially upon the people of the West: and that we demand its repeal, and the substitution of another based upon revenue principles alone; upon the closest possible approximation of absolute free trade.

Resolved, That it is the right of each State to decide for itself who shall possess the elective franchise within it; that by the attempt to regulate suffrage in Ohio by means of the so-called fifteenth Constitu tional amendment is subversive of the priciples of the Federal Consitution.

Resolved, That the policy oflegislation of the Radical party directly tend to destroy all the reserved rights of the States and convert the republic into a consilidated despotism; that whether such despotism be exercised by an Emperor, a President or a Congress, the result would be fatal to liberty and good government; that consolidation in this country would aggregate capital over the lives the liberty and the property of the toiling masses. Unsolved, That wc denounce the national banking system as one of the worst outgrorwths of the bonded debt, which unnecessarily increases the burdens of the poeple 830,000,000 annually; and that we demand its immediate repeal. Resolved, That the trial and sentence to death, by a military Commission, of a citizen of Texas, not in the military or naval service, when the civil courts vere in the unobstructed exercise of their functions in that State, and in the time of profound peace, and the approval of that sentence by Accident Grant, are violations of the most sacrel rights of American citizens guaranteed by their constitutions, State and Federal, and de serve, and should receive, the severest condemnation of every lover of liberty and constitutional government.

Resolved, That the numerous pal pableand hihg handed usurpations of the party in power; their many public and private acts of tyranny, trampling under foot the civil law, and the guarantees of the Constitution ; their continuing to deprive sovereign States of representation in Congress, and to govern said States by mere military rule, show them to be the party of despotism, and unworthy the confidence and support of a free people. Resolved, That we extend the right hand of fellowship, and recognize as brethren in a common cause, all conservative men, not heretofore Democrats, who will unite with us in rescuing the Government from the unworthy hands into which it has fallen, and we pledge the united and cordial support of the 250,000 Democrats in Ohio, whom we represent, to the ticket nominated by this convention, and presented by us to the suffrages of the people of Ohio.

Office School Examiner,! Adams County, Indiana,> July 12th, 1869. ) To Trustees of Adams County: Gentlemen :—I call upon you to meet in Convention, at Decatur, Indiana, on Saturday, August 28th, 1860, at 2 o'clock P. M.

Mews Items. Three hundred and twenty-five barrels of sugar were seized at Cincinnati, July the 9th, by the collector of the port for false invoicing at New Orleans. The project of bringing an ocean steamer fro New York to St. Lotis has been abandoned for the present, the terms not meeting the views of the merchants of the lat-' ter city. The Union Republican State Central League is the name of a new political organization in Massachusetts, formed to oppose the prohibitory legislation. The Herald nominates ex Minister C. F. Adams for Govenor.

A large number of citizens met in Buffalo, recently for the purpose of forning a free trade league. Resolutions indicative of the object of the meeting were adopted, and a commitec on premanent or ganization to report at a subsequent meeting. Isadore, a young daughter of General Albert Pike, was found dead in her bed, in Memphis yesterday morning. She had retired complaining of a nervous headache, and from an empty chloroform bottle found btjside her, it is supposed she had used it to sooth the pain, and in her sleep, upset the bottle upon her pillow.

The New York Herald’s Richmond dispatch says the majority for Walker in the Virginia election is estimated by the very sanguine at forty thousand. All the Congressmen but three are conservative Walker men. Joseph Segar being chosen as Congressman at large. Among the Radical Congressmen chosen is one Norris, a Legislature now stands probably fifty majority for the Walker party on the joint ballot.

The Society of Women. One of the great benefits a young man may derive from women’s society is, that he is bound to be respectful toward them. The habit is of great good to your moral man, depend upon it. Our education makes us the most emi nently selfish men in the world. We fight for ourselves; we push for ourselves; we cut the best slices out of the joint at club dinners for ourselves, and light pipes and say we won’t go out; prefer ourselves and our ease ; and the greatest good that comes to a man from woman’s society is, that be has to think of somebody besides himself somebody to whom he is bound to be constant!}’ attentive and respectful. Certainly I don’t want my dear Bob to associate with those of the other sex whom he doesn’t and can’t respect; that is worse than smoking selfishness at home. But I vow, I would rather see you turning over the leaves of Miss Fiddlecombe’s music book all night, than at billiards, or smoking, or brandy amj water, or all three.— Thackerag.

Save. Save something, no matter how little it may be, always save something. Never turn away your head from small savings; they are the foundation of all great ones. A penny is not much. Many a man would rather throw away a penny than pick it up, if it lay before him. Yet a penny a day is nearly eight dollars a year, eight dollars is the interest of between one and two hundred dollars capital, “waste not, want not,” is an old saying; and he who is extravagant enough to cast idly away what can be made useful, though it be but a trifle, may expect to see the day when even that trifle would be acceptable. Habit.—The diminutive chains of habit arc scarcely ever heavy enough to be felt till they are too strong to be broken.— Dr Johnson “Shingle weddings” are becoming fashionable in lowa. They occur when the first child is old enough to spank.
