The gavel which Chairman Harrity
used in opening the National Demo
cratic Convention has a history, says
the Boston Pos, which dates back to
the time of the Pharoahs. The head
of the gavel is carved from a piece of
oak which formed a part of old Fort
Dearborn. The handle is also of oak,
but .rrom a tree which was growing on
the present site of Chicago 7000 years
ago. This tree was one of a primeval
forest, covered by the debris of cen
turies and hidden until a few months
a 30, when excavations at Sheffield
avenue brought the great trunk to
light. Thus the oaks of two periods
ceniuries apart have been levied upon
for the gavel. Professor Upham, of
the Minnesota Historical Society,
vouches for the age of the tree from
which the handle was made.

OLD GLORY AT JONESTOWN.
The greatest assemblage of people
ever we witnessed gathered at Jones
town on the " Glorious Fourth." All
the exercises were appropriate, well
rendered and patriotic. A large
number of Sunday schools were rep
resented with appropriate banners and
mottoes. More beautiful and profuse
decorations we never saw. The
Nescopec cornet band displayed
choice music. Devotion and prayer
by Rev. Smith of Orangeville. Ad
dress ot welcome by Henry Jones,
formerly of Jonestown. Response,
Rev. Hinie of Waller. Other ad
dresses by Prof. Killgore of New
Columbus, and Rev. Thompson of
Berwick. A coming shower cut short
the program. A gala day for all. A
single accident a boy nearly losing
his eyesight by the explosion of fire
crackers.
Oats and corn promise abundant
yields, but winter grain and hay will
be short.
The anxious candidates are looking
forward to success. Well, all will
succeed, either in getting there or in
staying away.
Sound money is the cry all over the
land, both of the single and double
standard of values of the yellow and
white metals 5 but all the trouble we
find is that we havn't much to sell to
get much of either kind. And this
we fear is the case of the many who
complain of hard times. But then,
if we had bushels of it, what would we
do with it ? We could neither eat it
nor wear it, but like many other fools
we might hoard it, or oppress the
needy with robbery by usury and un
lawful interest, and become a curse of
greed to the community instead of a
blessing to society.
WITHDRAWAL.
We are authorized to announce the
withdrawal of Thomas B. Hanly Esq.
as a candidate for the office of District
Attorney. Mr. Hanly intends to re
move to New York City where he will
engage in the practice of law.
The Mountain Grove Campmeeting
will commence Aug. 5th this year.

and as this is the 25th year of its
organization extra preparations have
