It IlciicnclH 011 Whose Ox Is Gored, EDiTora" Columbian : I have been a reader of the Toledo Blade for the last fifteen months and will venture to say that a more radical Republican sheet wus never published. There is nn nrtlclo In it signed "A Looker-On In Mor gnntown, Ky." He says there was a gath ering down in Dixie, and every Democrat in the country swooped down on the quiet littlo village with tho old familiar yell of twenty years ngo such as wo hoard from the hordes that followed Morgan nnd Ben nett. He said they used lauguage revolt- ing, madly yelling for Jeff. Davis, cursing the names of the Immortal Lincoln nnd Garfield, claiming that what they had lost at the point of the bayonet they had won at the ballot box. At last, he claims, they pulled down tho Blaine flag, Ac. He says they did not come from the slunfs of the Democratic party. The Republicans are so completely whipped that they are trying to incite riot and bloodshed, and should be looked after. Tho Blade cliargc3 the Democrats with hard things. It calls them "bull dozers" und "ballot-box stuffers." It says "the daring deviltry of tlio domineering Democratij patty of the South has no bounds. They llvo on hate. They retain their power by brutal force." This re minds mo of the brutal force used in tho lata Rebellion, uud the raids that were made in our beautiful valley on inoffen sive Democrats by the iron heel of despot. ism. In my neighborhood they dragged forty-four of tho best men in our valley and incarcerated them in filthy dungeons, there to linger .until some of them were brought home dead. Think of it.fellowcoun try men j and now they have the audacity to charge us with all manner of cruelty. In conversation with a fellow Democrat tho other day ho said a Republican asked him why ho did not vote Willi the Republicans. He said it was this ono tiling only; lie be lieved in future rewards and punishments. That's my tlx, exactly, but I must say I don t bolievo or approve of the courso the Democrats are taking for tho inauguration. Instead of that great ball I think the nation had better be clothed lu sack cloth and ashc9, and ask God's guldunco and dircc Hon in the future, or wo may bo visited witli a greater calamity than the late war, God savo this nation, and make it a God fearing nation.

Two of our vcncrnblo citizens passed nwny last week. John Ruch, our vencra. ble post-mnstcr, wns hurled on Sunday, He had been post master fo ' 24 years longer than any other postmaster of Ber wick. For many years Mr. Ruch was a popular citizen, nnd mado a good public officer. Ho wns universally liked by all of our citizens. Ho has gone tho way of all tho earth, and he will bo missed long after his remnlns havo returned lo dust. Ho was 75 ycntB of ngo. Gilbert Fowler wns burled, ntlcr a ling crlng Illness, on Saturday last. Ho was nearly 03 years of ngo. By many years of Industry and frugality ho had accumulated consldernblo property. Ho was n useful citizen, and was among tho foremost in the development of tho country. Both of theso nged patriarchs had largo funerals. So they go, ono by one, tho old landmarks, and soon cveryono will bo goue, nnd the tomb cover their remains. Others will trend uftcr tlicm to grow old and dlo. Thus the generations pass nwuy, like a' moving panorama. They go as tho lapso of a stream, and the falling of a star. Somebody got hungry last week, nnd en. tcred Morton's smoko house, nnd fltolo D.

Slio was an cstlmnblc wo man. The rolling mill is runniug on full time. Col. A. D. Sccly, of our town, is put forth by his numerous friends as candidate for Sheriff of Columbia county. Now, then, why shouldn't Berwick furnish a Sheriff 1 For years Sheriffs and other pub lie officers of the country have come from almost every township outside of Berwick. Berwick, ever sinco the origin of the conn ty, has supplied no public officers, reaping salaries and tho emoluments of tho county. In tho name of justice, why shouldn't Ber wick be allowed to furnish a Sheriff. Is there any reason for it ? Why should all the public officers come from outsldo of Berwick? Col. A. D. Seely served gallant ly In our late war, (Reg. 84, Col. S. M. Bowman commanding.) A better selec tion could not be made anywhere within the precincts of tho county. He is popular and well liked ut home, nnd has many friends wherever known. Ho would make a fine Sheriff, und would make a fine run. If nominated, tucro is no doubt of his elec tion. He would do honor to tho county. Wo trust to see his name foremost as can dldato for the Sheriffalty. We feel conn dent he would be elected by a largo ma jority. Kinney Adams is bound to be ahead. He Is fixing up his store room in palatial style. It will be one of the most hand some stores along the river. Nemo. Write tor Your I.ocul Paper. There is no more effectual and enjoyable means by which young people can store their minds with practical knowledge and gain the power of giving expression to what they know than writiug for tho press. In writing for his or her lrfcal paper the young student cultivates the power of ob servation. Do not think that your literary career is in writing elaborate articles for the magazines or popular literary journals. Wrllo for your local paper or for somo pa per in your neighborhood or country that lias tome literary character, giving the news of your vicinity in the plainest lan. gunge you cau command. Keep on writ- ing for that paper. "As a regular corres. pondent you will bo furnished with tho necessary stationery or the postage at least will be paid by the publisher and ono or several copies will bo furnished you. It your neighbor writes for the nearest paper try another. Accidents, robberies, fires, deaths, mar riages, charities and cruelties are not the only neighborhood happenings that are worthy of being recorded. Tho close ob server becomes tho successful writer. There uro many things which, when prop erly recorded, are of deep interest, though the careless person scarcely notices them. Ho who can writo down neighborhood news and happenings in plain, spicy s ylo without unnecessary words has a beautiful accomplishment. He has tho gift of pleas, antly imparting his knowledge to others, and If he Is a school teacher ho will surely ucceed In that profession. Hi. Cirnna Army ltiicaitipmeiit.

Master Seymour Polio 113 Jack Frost, the mischievous sprite, played his pranks well, and pinched nnd poked Moneybags with his usual total disregard ot etiquette. Dressed in a white suit sparkling witli dla mond dust, lie really seemed like tho naugli ty elf himself. Miss Lillian Walker in n lovely snow nnd Ice suit wns a veritable star as Jack's wife, and seemed the lncar nation of mischief, as sho aud Jack danc ing around Moneybags covered him nice, with a coat of ice. Master Ario Campbell, the pugnacious young pago of Moneybag's was dressed in a jester's suit of bright red. Do brought the house down ns ho mado his appearance in a somersault, ami with comical attitude announced Sir Santa Claus. Master Ario certainly possescs superior talent, and with effort and study will surely cxcell in liter ary pursuits. Miss Nora Nagle was lovely as Fully Bountiful while old Santa Claus himself, friend of thoglrh and boys, helper of their fun and sharer of their joys, received the accolade from tho hand of littlo Curley Locks, completely routing tho False Sir Santa and amid general rejoicing wns pro nounced the true one. This was acted by Mr. Silas Poulns. All enjoyed tho exercises very much, aud the only criticism wo heard was that, it was too short. Messrs. Warren Bittenbender, Joseph Powlus. Jnrius Miller and Chas Nagle, the trusty police, of tho False Santa, also de serves favorablo mention. We cannot m justice, close this article without giving much praise, which is just ly hers, to Mrs. E. J. O. Walker, the effi cient instructor, musical director, and stago manager.
