TBIBTr-SBVENTa TEABt Nowis fire Time to Snfiscribe. Handsoihc Chromo ALSO TO EVERT OLD SUBSCRIBER OBTAINING A NEW ONE! READ! READ! READ! The coming year, 1874, ill be the Thirty Seventh of the publication of the News, and the Twenty Fourth under the management of its present Editor and Publisher. It will be our earnest aim and endeavor to maintain the character which the paper has now fully established, as The -Leading Newspaper of Highland County. The circulation of the News is now very nearly as large as at any former time, and is steadily increasing. Every issue is regularly read by v-.

FRQM 7QQO TO 8QQQ READERS, of the most intelligent class, and we have subscribers in all parts of the country, from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast. The important department of HOME NEWS will continue to be made a leading and special feature of the paper, and by means of our regular correspondents in the different villages and townships of the county, we shall be able to report all the local news of interest, and keep out readers fully posted as to what is going cn in the county. Every intelligent citizen of the county should take a good county paper, for the sake of the Home News, in which he is more interested and which cannot be obtained from any city paper. FULL AND RELIABLE MARKET REPORTS, Both of the Hillsboro and Cincinnati market, are regularly given in the News. They are carefully corrected every week, and every important change noted.

Our Hillsboro market will continue to be faithfully reported by Messrs. Scott Roads, the well known Grocers and Produce Dealers, and the Cincinnati market report will be made up from the latest Cincinnati Daily papers, received up to the hour our paper goes to press. Every farmer will appreciate the value of correct and reliable reports of the markets, and in this feature the News is 'admitted to have no rival among the other papers of the county. Onr Farm and Household Department, Which has been regularly 'continue to be one of the most valuable and popular features of the paper. The useful facts, hints and suggestions published in this, department alone during the year, are worth far more to verv intellixrent farmer and housekeeper, than the small V-l price paid for the paper.

Qur Literary Will, as heretofore, contain Stories, Sketches, and General Miscellany, suited for the instruction and entertainment of the Family Circle, great care being taken to admit nothing of a hurtful or immoral tendency Qur Teachers' Department Will also be kept up as a permanent feature, provided the Teachers of the county manifest sufficient interest in the matter to assist in sustaining it by contributing to its columns. Qur Youth's Department Has become an established favorite with our 3roung readers, (and with many older ones too) and will of course be continued. We have made arrangements with a lady who is well qualified, to act as editress of this Department during the coming year, and the boys and girls who read the News may expect to find it more interesting than ever. Letters from Correspondents In various parts of the country will continue to give variety and interest to the columns of the News, which can justly boast ot a greater number ot other country paper we know of. tive Letters from the Old World, by Miss Jennie Nelson, Which have been so much admired by our readers, will continue to be published from time to time, as her leisure for writing will permit.

In Politics, it is scarcely necessary to say, that the News will, as heretofore, give a steady and earnest support to the principles and measures of TEE GREAT REPUBLICAN PARTY, believing it to be the true party of Progress and Reform, but while firm and unyielding devotion to its party principles, it will continue to be moderate in tone, and respectful in its treatment of opponents, believing that calm and courteous argument, truth and fair dealing will accomplish more for any cause than denunciation, abuse and violent language. We have heretofore numbered many liberal-minded Democrats among our readers and subscribers, and hope we may still retain their good will and respect, though we differ so widely in political sentiments. A Fine Oliromo Preminm Will be given to every old subscriber who renews his own subscription and obtains us one new subscriber for a year or two new ones for 6 months each, or three new ones for 4 months each, or four for 3 months each.

The entire court, however, recommended him to mercy, and President McMahon commuted the sentence to seclusion from the army for 20 years, with loss of rank and pay. Monetary Matters in New York. From the Metropolis comes the following cheering intelligence: The general financial and commer cial improvement continues.

Money is growing easier every week. Many banks have more than they know what to do with, and there is a gen eral supply from the country. But for a certain unsettledness rates would be unusually low. On un doubted securities money can be had in abundance at 5 to 7 par cent. Congress.

In the House, the debate repealing the "Salary Grab" continued until Friday evening last, when a vote was taken, instructing the select committee to bring in a bill fixing the Con gressional salaries at the sum realiz ed by members of the Forty-first Congress, without the franking privilege, and with actual traveling ex penses, and also reducing all other salaries that can be constitutionally reduced, except those of Supreme Court Judges, to what they were be fore the recent increase. A Washington dispatch dated Monday, says; The special committee to consider the question of the repeal of the sal ary, to-day agreed to report a bill fixing the salary at $5,500 and travel ing expenses. The House Committee on Invalid Pensions have agreed to report a bill to restore to the pension list all those who, residing in the Confeder ate States, were stricken from the list at the beginning of the war.

Stephens. The Republicans elected two of the State officers in New York at the late election, by majorities about equal to that of the Democratic Secretary of State. Two Bills that Ought to Become Laws. Dispatches from Washington state that the House Convention on Postal Affairs has agreed to report a bill, which in substance authorizes public documents to be sent free through the mails, the free exchange of newspapers, and free delivery of newspa pers in counties where they are published. In the distributing of public documents a stamp is provided, to be placed in custody of an officer of the House, to be attached to every book, pamphlet and document sent from either branch of Congress.

To pre vent abuse by unauthorized parties, it is also necessary for the name of the member sending a document to be appended to the package. The committee agreed to report favorably a bill looking to the free delivery of seeds from the Agricultural Department, and will no doubt regulate their' distribution in a similar manner te the means provided for sending public documents. We believe that both the above measures are just and right, and will meet the approval of the people. We never desired that Congressmen should be deprived of the franking privilege entirely, but only that its abuse should be prevented. As to free exchanges of newspapers and other periodicals, that is obvious ly a measure to promote the dissem ination of intelligence among the people, and is demanded by the pub lic good.

The same reason will ap ply to the flbe circulation of newspa pers in. the counties where publisned, and to the free distribution of seeds among the farmers of the land. We hope both bills will speedily become laws. Resumption of Work. Philadelphia Ledger.

The tide of temporary suspension has fully changed, and has given to that of resumption. Each day's telegrams tell us now of renew ed activity in the large industrial establishments that closed their doors a few weeks ago. The quick recov ery of these large establishments from the depression of business conse quent on distrust, shows that the "panic" was well named that it was "a sudden fright without real cause. The Nation has a strong article against inflation of the currency, from which we quote the great central truth: "We stand at the parting of two ways one leads, through some suffering, much of which has been already endured, to as sound a currency as human nature and the phys ical conditions of human life admit of; the other leads rapidly through sev eral stages of drunken enjoyment to a bottomless pit of repudiation." kindle your fires with coal oil. We repeat the warning for the hundredth time.

Our exchanges are filled with accounts of horrible and generally fatal accidents from this practice. Among the latest and most horri ble is the case of a servant girl in Fort Wayne, Indiana, who was so severely burned by an explosion of a can in her hands as to necessitate the amputation of both arms. The British Periodicals. At thin season, wnen our readers are select ing the periodicals they intend tak ing for the next year, we take pleas ure in directing their attention to the American reprints of Blackwood's Monthly, and the London, Edinburg, Westminster and British Quarterly Reviews. These publications are the acknowledged orsrans of the best minds of Great Britain.

Their re views of new books are indispensable to those who wish to keep posted up in the literature of the day, and their able and scholarly articles on Religion, Art, Science, Politics, History, Literature, and every other sub ject of human interest, commend them to the thoughtful perusal of all persons of education and culture. Considering the amount and quality of reading matter, the price of these periodicals is very low. For particu lars, see the prospectus in another column. By arrangement with the publish ers we can furnish the News and any one of the five periodicals, together, for $5, in advance. Littell's Living Age.

to the News. Letter from Iowa. IOWA CITY, IOWA, Dec, 10, 1873. Dear News I bel'aveyou have not heard from me since my change of base. I have taken a fancy to be a lawyer, and so where should I go but to the Law Department of the Iowa State University? I gave your read ers my opinion of the Institution last spring, so I shall not say much of it now, except that the principal building was formerly the State House, and that the Law Class has the honor to occupy the old Senate Chamber.

There are at present about seventy-five gentlemen here, trainiug for the practice of law. I was right in my last, when I said that the "old reliable" Republican Party would come out first best, but "how are the mighty fallen," for it was merely a victory, and nothing more. Honry county, that last year gave the Republicans 1,200 majority, this year elected one or two candid: ates on the Anti-Monopoly ticket, and yet, every Granger that voted the Anti-Monopoly ticket, as a Lrranger, tnereby violated tne constitution under which he was admit ted into the lodge. I hope they are satisfied, now that they have brought about this great panic, insomuch that thousands and tens of thousands of their brethren in the East are thrown out of employment, just on the verge of a severe winter, with no earthlyjprospect except charity or starvation. They have done mort they have come very near giving the reins of our government tc those who were against us when oru nation was in its greatest peril it, then, the plan of the Grange, tc have men sacrifice principle, tha' they may perchance have a prospec of adding a few paltry dollars mor.

to their earthly store? I hope not, but present appearances are against them. My first charge was a serious one. but where did the panic have it origin? Was it not with the railroad men? Are they not the ones whon the Grangers speak of most bitterly? True, it has been said that thes men were reaching out too far it their acquisition of stock; that the had gone beyond their depth; buf. had they not done the same thing a thousand times before? Then wh; fail thistime? Something was wrong. It was just this: Many of tht bonds were held by European capit alists.

Of course they would lool to their own interests, and of course they would hear the cry of the Grangers, and they would say, "The people rules America, and the rail roads must go down." And, looking to their own interests, they would seek to dispose of their bonds. There beinsr many sellers and few buyers, the bonds would be depreci ated; then more men would seek tc dispose of them, they would be sent back here, and then the crash. I do not pretend to be infallible. I will not say that I know I am right; but as things appear to me, so I ex press them. You have Grangers in your county and if I have mis-stated anything hope they will correct me.

I do not wish to dictate to any one. Join the Grangers if you choose, but at all events "Trust in God and do the rijrht," for "I have never seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed beg ging bread." Yours, SCRIPTOR. The State Superintendent of In surance has publisned a notice re voking the license of the Nationa Life Insurance of Chicago to do husi ness in Ohio on account of their lack of capital Butler County Official Grab, Since the defalcation of the Dem ocratic Treasurer Lindley, of Butle county, some three years since, fo: $100,000, the county has suffered from additional stealing by her officials. Several weeks since Gen Godman was called down there to make an examination similar to that made in our own county. His work- covers a period of three years and half, and discloses a remarkable alac rity in grabbing, on the part of thf county officers.

The examiner findn that A. Smidt, Auditor'of the county. has drawn in so-called fees 77, while the amount of legal allow ances was $15,884.50, which shows that Smidt has swindled the tax payers of Butler in the sum of 407.27. It is further stated in the report that every officer whose ac counts have been examined has proved to be a defaulter, and that the aggregate of these defalcations is $22,430.19, to which is to be added $2,380.89 illegally paid ez-Treasurer Lindly, making a total defalcation of $24,820.08.

Furthermore, if, on or before the 25th day of December, 1873, it shall be made to appear to the satisfaction of the United btates that the lrgin ius did not rightfully carry the American flag and was not entitled to American papers, the United States will institute inquiry and adopt legal proceedings against the vessel, it be found that she has violated any law of the United States, and against any of the persons who may appear to have been guilty of illegal acts in connection therewith.

montn ana iu aays. And nn the Sth Dec. at IV o'clock P. Mr. Eli Watson, aged 79 years and days.

Thus are the old land-marks disappearing. This aged couple were Virginians by birth removing with their parents to Ohio in early life. The Wat son family settled in Greene, and Charles Johnson (Mrs. Watson's father) in Highland county, both about the year 1SOS. The first years of their married life were spent on the farm in Greene county.

But Mr. Watson hav ing sustained severe injuries from falling tree. abandoned agriculture, and removed to Leeaburg, Highland county, where he has been engaged in mercantile pursuits for nearly forty years, though the past fifteen years he has devoted mainly to lite rary callings, the management of his business de volving upon his nephew, Jacob Hilliard, to whom he has bequeathed his estate. The late venerable couple celebrated their Golden Wedding on the 23th of April last and deserved and maintained through their long and useful lives, pure and upright Christian characters. Mr.

Watson, by an unswerving Integrity, com manded the confidence and respect of the entire public but to those only who were Intimately associated with him, were known the purity of his social qualities, and those high and more sacred at tributes that adorn the cultivated Christian gentle man. Bis countenance was ever beaming with gen. lal kindness, and a generosity that never failed to respond, when a proper occasion called it forth. Such were the sterling qualities of bis nature. that no temptation could shake his fidelity to truth and doty.

To the memory of such a man, we may well offer the tribute of our unqualified respect, and may well express our gratitude for the example of such a life, and commend it to imitation. Peace to their ashes I L. TO THE MEMORY OF MY BENEFACTOR ELI WATSON. Thou art gone beyond thought's utmost reach, Beyond the joys ire knew, the love, the paiu. Out on thy bright, glad way.

The roblem's solved for thee. But doubting, still remain. Till Death wipes all away. Shall I forget? Win I forget And what is life without that tender pain, So deep, and yet so sad No rather let these sorrowing eyes be wet With endless tears, than e'er again forget That bletsiny on my head. The blast among the moaning branches grieves, And frozen is the laughter in the brook.

And he in cold earth lies. All fallen are my joys, like wintry leaves, Through whose green haunts the summer shook The songs, the melodies. Be silent 7 No; My thought's are wild and hard, By memories shivered, shattered, torn, In struggles fierce and vain. Now like loose strings, discordant, jarred.
