F-■• - —~ ' The average Ohio Democratic stump speaker instead of saying “but to resume,” Re says “but to inflate.” I —— . ; Charles Francis Adams will deliver the | address before the Northern Wisconsin i Fair, at Oshkosh, September 2 S. New York city has upwards of seventy thousand poor children, a larger number >. than the entire population fifty years ago. The Ohio campaign is progressing finely for the Republicans, and everything indicates a sweeping Republican majority. Gold was discovered iu a corn field at ■Decatur, 111., a short time ago. It was washed to the surface during a heavy •rain. The great Western Telegraph Company is to be sold out at auction, October Ist. The way it has been operated, it has been loosing money. The Hon. Asa Packer, the Pennsylvamia millionaire, i s a fine example of a selfmade man. He is a powerful railroad man, and began life As-a Packer. Notice has been served upon Mr. Beecher’s attorneys that Tilton will insist on a new trial of the great scandal case to commence on the first Monday in September. Gen, Spinner is talked up for Republican candidate for treasurer of the State of New York, It is believed that his name and reputation would greatly strengthen the ticket, Delaware and Maryland have the largest crop of peaches this year than any former, and fears have been expressed that there will not be facilities for the transportation of the crops to northern markets. By industry and perseverance a woman can make a quilt from 21,963 pieces. Sucli a thing has been done in Georgia, after years of labor, aud the quilt is as .good in all respects as one made from one pi cce in a single day. The Missouri Constitutional Convention has provided that members of the Legislature shall receive not to exceed $5 per day for the first seventy days, and 81,00 per day thereafter. Each member shall receive $30.00 each regular session in lieu of postage, stationery, aud other incidental expenses. .

The unusual heavy rains of this year, were not confined to the United States. England, France, Italy, Austria, and ' other parts of Europe have suffered greatly by floods. Dams that had withstood the storms of centuries were washed away, causing 'imrn ense destruction to life aud proper ty. ■ pjjFor several weeks a statement has been going the rounds of the press that an euterprising Mr. Locke has engaged Mr. Beecher to deliver a series of lectures throughout the West. Now comes Mrs. Beecher and denies the whole thing.— Henry seems now to trust everything to the management of his wife, and he is right. The result of the harvest in California is more favorable than was at first anticipated, yet the yield is estimated at 6,600,000 bushels less than last year ; there was sown in the state 2,125,720 acres, and the average yield was only a trifle over ten bushels to the acre ; but there has been an increase of 10.100, 000 bushels in barley, which last year paid better than wheat. Somebody has figured out what the expense of supporting the National government has been to each voting citizen during the last six administrations. The table shows that under Polk (Democrat) the expense per head was $2.05 ; under Taylor and Filmore (Whig) $1.89; under Pierce (Democrat) $2.33; under Buchanan* (Democrat) $2.28; under Lincoln and Johnson (Republican) $1.94, under Grant, $1.69. That is a pretty good showing for “radical rule. The silk flag or banner in which exPresident Johnson was buried—according to his curious request —had considerable of a history connected with its existence. It was a banner which was captured from Rosecran’s force during the late war by Gen, Bragg’s troops at tbe battle of Chattanooga, sent to Richmond, and afterward recaptured by Stoneman’s cavalry, at Soulsbury, N. C. J/ajor Hambright, of Knoxville, Tennessee, beiug provost marshal at the time, got possession of it. On learning of Mr, Johnson’s request he at once telegraphed the family, tendering the historic flag, and it Was accepted.

Information wanted.

About the first of November last, Martin Bums", then in the 15th year of his age, left home and has not since been heard of. He was of rather slender form, had light eyes, hair not very dark ; clothing not remembered. About the same time his father lost both legs by an accident on the railroad. His mother is altaosSla despair at bis absence, and hopes by tffe press to gain some intelligence of her lost boy. Our exchanges and papers throughout the country will confer a favor on the unfortunate,. and serve the cause of humanity by publishing this. Address any information to Mary Burns, Ypsilanti. J/icbigan. Virginia Democrats are urging the claims of Ex-Governor Walker, of that State, for the second place on the Presidential ticket. It is admitted that the candidate for President must come from the North, which will strengthen the claims of the South for the Vice President. It 13 also admitted that as a matter of policy no ex-rebel should be nominated next year. It will be time enough for that four years hence. Such a nomination at this time would be impolitic, and, though it would fire the Democratic heart at the South, might lose votes at the North. Hence Walker’s supposed strenght. He is a Northern man by birth, hut a resident of Virginia since the war —a carpet-bagger, in fact, but a Democrat in good standing. He is popular in his own State, having been elected Governor, and more recently to Congress, by large majorities. He is a man of fine presence, pleasing address and rather captivating manners. Considering his geographical position, political antecedents and personal popularity, it would not be surprising if he should prove the coming man. for the second place on the Democratic ticket.— Indianapolis Journal.

On Sea-side.

Pike Point House) Me. ) , August 3, 1875. / Editor Republican : Will give you a brief description of our (Bro. D. J. aud self.) journey and observations from Rensselaer to this place, which, if you think worthy of place in your paper, you you may publish. We arrived at Francesville at 12 M., on the 28th ultimo, took train for Wanatah at 2 ; 16 P. M. —fare $1.20, and at Wanatah purchased tickets at $1.60 for Chicago, at which place we arrived at 6; 10 p. m. The agricultural interests on the route from Rensselaer to Chicago are much damaged by the rains and storms. .Much of the corn is small, and the* ground is covered with water. Met John Wambaugh on the cars. He is a pleasant, companionable young man, and reports doing a healthy business at San Pierre,[selling lumber and farming. In Chicago we purchased tickets for Portland, Me., via. M. C. & G. T. Ry., for $19.00, good for three days distance—--1,145 miles. The little time we had here we occupied in walking the streets of the city, which seemed unusually quiet. Got supper at the Adams House. Paid five dollars for a birth in a Pullman sleeping-car to Montreal, and left the city at 9 P. M. on Express. Daylight brought us to the stirring town of Jackson, Mich. In this State we passed through Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, ■and other "pleasant looking, thrifty places. Stopped at Sarnia, situated on the Canada side of St. Clair River, at 10 A. si.

fox breakfast. Here the cars are conveyed over the river on a steam ferry. And here the Government officers examined baggage in search of contraband articles. The crops, i-s far as we have seen, look well in J/ichigan. They appear to be in the order of wheat, oats, hay, potatoes and corn. The average of com is small. In places we saw where large pine forests had been destroyed by the fires of the past dry seasons. Arrived in Jfoutreal at 9 A. M. on the 30th. Passed through Stratford, Toronto and other places of interest. Toronto is pleasantly located on the shore of Lake Ontario, and has a population of abont 60,000. J/ontreal, the principal city and commercial port of British America, is situated on the Island ./Montreal in the St. Lawrence River. The G. T. Ry. herb passes over the St. Lawrence River through . Victoria bridge, a tubular structure three miles long and said to have cost $2,000,000. We had six hours here which we occupied in visiting the Notre Dame Cathedral,' which is open to visitors, and perhaps is as grand, if not the grandest, structure of the kind on the continent; Victoria Park, which is graced with a full sized bronze statue of Queen Victoria; and some other places of interest. Left this place for Portland at 3 P. M. and arrived in the City of Elms at 8 A. M. on the 31st. In a few minutes thereafter we took the Boston and .Maine cars for Blue Point station—nine miles distant —and walked a half mile to Pine Point House, on the beach, where I foiind my dear wife and children, all well except Lossie, who is slowly recovering from a very severe attack of the scarlet lever. He has had a hard time, and it will be sometime before we can safely start home with him. This is a new, quiet place, nicely situated hard by the sea-side, two and a half miles from Old Orchard Beach.

The Canadians appear obliging, cheerful and happy. A portion of their country is very fine. The chief agricultural products appear to be wheat, hay, oats, barley, potatoes and peas, all of which look well. The farm houses in many localities are in close proximity, and the fields extend far back. J/uch of their hauling is done by one horse, and their grain and hay are handled in the same manner. The railroad employees are very obliging—■stop three times a day for meals, and give plenty of time to enjoy them. Get good meals for fifty cents —their money, or sixty cents —U. S. money.— Purchased a paper of a newsboy for five cents ; off ered ten cents in U. S. fractional Currency for payment, and he replied, “Two cents off for Yankee money.” When will our politicians and law-mak-ers combine wisdom enough to grapple with the two great questions of the day— Finance and Labor —andj at least adopt some finanancial measure that will give us a more stable monetary basis? In J/ontreal I sent a telegram to Mrs. T. for which I paid sixtv-one cents in coin. Afterwards, the operator hunted me up and. handed me thirteen cents, stating that he had over-charged me that much. If such honesty governed all societies, how much better it would be for

all.

We learn from several of the daily papers that at about 8 o’clock on last Monday night, Mrs. Hicks, a Bible agent, shot and fatally wounded Moses Kinney at Kentland.— Young Kinney was intoxicated, and was passing her housequietly when she shot him. As yet no cause for the shooting has been learned. It is reported that Mrs. Hicks shot a ycung man named Sutton in the leg for some imagiuitry cause three weeks ago. Public sentiment is strongly against the woman. Kinney, the victim of her fury, is spoken of as an inoffensive and quiet person.

isSw'hS The attention of farmers is specially invited to this new eesNDtik which for its prolific qualities, hardiness and freedom from disease, perhaps outrivals all other acclimated varieties. Its perfect adaptation to every variety of soil and climate makes it a peculiar favorite with both American and .British Farmers. It matures in about twenty days less time than oat=."rijjag It is a remarkable grain to stand severe drought. It yields from 40 to 90 bushels per acre. The beads will average ten inches in length. (IVe will send sample specimen heads to Farmers on receipt of ten cents, by mail, which will be a life evidence of the enormous grow ill of the wheat. Agents to whom we have sent Specimen-heads ari making ciiornious profits, showing the heads to their' neighbors, and taking orders.) The stalk is sufficiently strong to support the head and prevent its lodging. The grain for stock is equal, if not superior, to Indian corn, i It ripens while the stalk is yet green. We have tested its superiority as far North es Ontario and Quebec, and as far South as New Mexico, proving its perfectadaptatioffto every variety oT soil and climate in North America. Terms, Cash. No O. O. D. packages sent out. Sanfple packages sent postage paid, for sl.lO fiymail. One bushel, by Express, $7. Ten bushels, by Express, $25. Send money by Registered Letter, at our risk.

THE OLD LIVE ISIS ETOEE. THE GREAT AMERICAN EXPLORER, MAJOR MUGKLBSWORTH, has been heard from. The last account we had of him was up to the 17th day of March, 1875, in latitude 41i degrees west longitude from Washington where he had encountered Beaccm Tubbs and Isis and after three days of hard bombardment had captured him and his whole party, and now have them confined in theMew Brick Huilcliug ©si tlae Sesstli Side’of Washington Street, i\o. £&®4. one door east of F. J. Sears & Co’s dry goods store. The Deacon and his party made a gallant resistance at the old stand on the north side of the streot, but the Majoi'was a little too strong for hint and captured him and his subordinates, I*ieixt. ffefsi? and Will F@3?lfgrim. Young Pengrim was wounded by an accidental discharge of Meyer’s piece, but young Perigrim, at last accounts, was doimr well; he was using RAD WAY’S READY RESOLVENT for his Blood, one bottle of WALLACE’S BITTERS for lii* Digestive Organs, and three boxes of M’ALESTER’S ALL HEALING SALVE for his wound. It is thought by his nurse that he will recover. The Major, in the long exposure with Deacon Tubbs, cheering on hismen, took a severe cold which settled in his throat, but by using a bottle of Dr. Harding’s Celebrated Cossgli Mixture, we are happy to inform the public that he is able to be out again, and at tho NEW BRICK STORE compounding Drugs and Medicine*, where the Deacon and the Major are found at. all times dealing out Medicines to their numerousUustomers.
