Tho ropositron of tho Union Brass Band to play for tho fair at Washington has been accepted by tho committee, and tho boys re preparing to bo on hand. There wero bids from tho Augusta band and from the Fulton band and from several others, but we have no doubt in the world, but that tho committee secured tho best. Mr. G. F. Ilobelman and Michael Moutier have exchanged establishments; the former to take possession of tho mansion on tho hill, and to supply the burghers with meat, and the latter intending to keep the Hotel and to sport the dignity of landlord. How aptly people fall into their spheres. Wo believe that Mr. Ilobelman will give us good beef, and that Mr. Moutier will make an accommodating Hotel bo"s. Two frostf in succession. JJnssia continues to lose in battle. Young man, you can go up hill as fast as you please, but go down h.ll hIiiw. All who desire to pay for the Record in wood, please haul it in and report. Don't forget the fair at Washing ton next week, commencing on Tues-!:ry and continuing Wednesday and Thursday. Remember friends, there are about two hundred and fifty subscnblions due on the 4th volume of tho Record. Step up when you seo tho editor and shell out. lie don't like to ask you W so small an amount, yet ho needs it and wants it all tho same. The iulvanco system is our rule. Attention is spceia'ly directed to tho report of tbo proceedings of tho comity court last Saturday. It will do seen that they have not only re-cinded tho order compromising tho M bonds, but that they havo made another very important order copied ' full, and which explains itself. Key. A. B. Martin has been in St. I'Oiu's this week attending tho I'res-hytery, undergoing examination and animation into the regular ministry f tho church. We hare no doubts "f his success. , Ho expects to be l'ck to hold a prayer meeting this Thursday Evening. Let all takenotice. Judge Seuy is at Steeleville. Mr. Juiiu.s Hart is still wrestling with I'lackstone, and talking "wit" lo every body. Samuel T.Jeffries, from st- Clair, is attending our High school Thcro was a fight in town last Thursday. One of tho parties drunk and tho other was sick, B0 that the rumpus did not pan out well in claret. John Barret was at tho meeting (,r I riday.and remarked very point-Cllv to the editor tl tat this was a V(,"y important meeting to taxpay-trS to which wo assented. Then he tul ho wag in favor of paying six J" Is to tho dollar on the fraudulent ',0"ds, and that if any person would ("'no round collecting anything mere that he'd knife him. Two hundred anil ten pupils in attendance at tho public schools up to date. That is two many for comfort in two rooms, and too man- fur two teachers to hanillo effectually. Xew goods at tho Drugstore. New goods at CMias. Keinhards. Tho Union Croedmoors arc still daiiy pegging away tit tho target over "fornenst" tho brewer". Mr. John Kirclunan, one of Washington's efficient tailor, is about making up his mind to pitch his tent in Union. Wo hope he vvill come. He can do well here. Just as wo go to press avo received a long letter Uvia . Mr'. Chas..A. Kim-aid, St. Albans Mi., which is too long for us to insert this lime, but give him our on his concluding sentence. Now Mr. Editor wo sec in the dim and evaporating mist, of tho near future, a narrow gaugo I?. 11. Co. trot-ling their iron horse down this way front your town, via, Augusta, Luba-die and by our "St. Albans" on east to the Future Great. Then Mr. Editor will you and "wo" in reality become Far-nobile fratrum. A very regretful mistake occurred in making up the mail list of our subscribers at St. C'la;r and Grubvillo two weeks ago. By some unaecount able cause, (guess they were tin. pored with while the editor went out to get a drink of water,) tho wrappers got reversed, and the St. Clair papers went to (Jrubville, and were there distributed in place of their own package, and vice versa, the irubville papers went to St. Clair, but instead of being distributed were forwarded to grubvillo, by which tho St. Clair folks lost their papers. The legal way is to lorward a misscnt package. "Girled up" is tho namo of that affection in boys that manifests itself in neglected studies and poor recitations at school, and a sprucing up in personal appearance, such as brushing of clothes and blacking of boots, and fixing up of tho topknot. It generally strikes j-oung fellows between the ages of eighteen and twenty, and results in their becoming "ladies men." Sometimes it becomes so intense that the only euro is matrimony, but it rarely, in its first stages, affects them beyond helpless attempts at writing lovo letters, or verses that rhyme. It is an unfortunate affliction, but then, considorcd with the experience of maturcr years, "it never lasts long ; it is less harmful than tobacco or whiskey, and there is no law "agin" youths of that ago making fools of themselves." Mr. Barnum's advance agent sent us tho following modest proposition, accompanied by at least two columns of "copy," "riease give us as much spaco as you can afford for tho sum of Five dollars." Wo don't advertise shows simply because they are institutions, that take money out of the country, but because they leav bad mor jif i a vitiated and depraved faMo vehinel them. Tho loss of the money they tako away, of course is bad enough but when that loss is connected with a vitiated sentiment, imbibed by the young, tho evil effects of which never can be measured by dollars and cents, tho effects can bo felt for year afterwaids. Wo need money, but cannot advocate a humbug or a nui sanco for five or ien dollars, thai will tak tnt.ro money oat f Ja? country in one day than would pay for five hundred or a thousand sub scriptions to a country newspaper for a j-car. Wo cannot understand why our cotemporaries will cut their own throats in that way. They say tho shows will come any way, and wo may as well take that much from them. We happen to know of a place where shows never go, simply because the newspapers of tho place have made them-so disreputable, that they can never make expenses, and they avoid tho place like they c'o the south on account of tho cholera or the yellow fever. If we can't make a living publishing a newspaper, withoutadvocnting and advertising what is absolutely hurtful and baneful to tho community, we want lo -know it, and the sooner tho better. Barouui has announced thai tho A merit an peoplo love to be humbugged. Barnnm is the prince of humbugs, and we know it. under his own hand and signature. Transfers of F.eal Estate. The following is a full list of the transfers of Heal Estate in Franklin Comity, by Warranteo Deed, filed for record during the week ending with this issue, as reported by Mr, II. Wiesel, I'ecjrder.

J Win, McKee's attorneys, Hatch and Williams, have brought suit j against him for balance of Fees due them for defending him in tho whis- cases. "Win. M. Tweed, tho boss swindler, j is on the stool of repentance, and is confessing his sins and his swindling operations, and the parties who wero j implicated with him, and there is j quaking, and gnashing of teeth f unong his old associates and pals in crime': .' A colored man with three names, Charles Jourdans, alias Mathcw Lewis, alias Bolton, was arrested in Washington last Wednesday, for tho murder of his wile in Si. Louis on the 14th of August, 1876. lie denies that be. has any oihor name than the first, or that ho ever' was married. He was taken to St. Louis to be legally dealt with.

Tho court being advised that no successful resistance can bo made to suits on the Budd & Decker bonds, and coupons issued therewith, and that the obtaining of judgments on such bonds and coupons cannot be prevented, but that there is no legal method of compelling satisfaction of such judgments, it is therefore) ordered by the Court, for tho pnrposo of avoiding unnecessary expense, in the way of costs and counsel fees, in and about Fuch suits, r.nd that the authority of T. W, B. Crows, Atty. at law, to represent tho county of Franklin in tho defence of such suits, under contract mado with said county of elate of Sept. 21st 1874, be and tho same is hereby recinded and held for naught, and that for tho fu lure, tho county avail itself of all do-fences to proceedings for the enforcement of such judgments. As productive labor is the great Fonrcc of all national wealth, it i-huuld be cherished and protected against injurious foreign competition in all its departments, mechanical, manufacturing, and agricultural. . Although the immediate effect of a high duty mM" enhaiKO lho price ef the manufactured article, 3-et this verj enhancement of price, making tho business profitably willsoem at tract additional capital and labor into it, ultimately reducing the price, bj- increased skill, competition, and supply of manufaclurcdgoods. To this end duties for protection should ba specilie, never ad valorem. Protection is the true poliey of all oemntrics where tho wages of labor ate high, am! trco trade is tho (ruo policy ot ail countries where the wages of labor are low. Ilenco protection is lhe true policy of this country, where wages are highei than in other countries; anel free trade is tho policy eif England an 1 other countries where labor and its productions arc low, because tree trade would open our pons to tno treo importa tions of their low-priced goods, thereby compelling our mechanics anel manufacturers te give up the markets and epiit work, buy everything and sell nothing, or it would bring down tho wages of labor hero to the low ami degraded level of wage's abroad. Ami now again comes the Star Spangled Banner, a newspaper published . s nnewhoro in New llainp shire, for another local notice We cannot recomme.nl a paper to the publie1, whose proprietors do not keep faith with us.
