Of story which is so absurd and i'm
probable 10 all who have The least ac-
quainlance With The ladie OF Chillicothe,
and which was SO completely Pot down
here when it first assumed shape to
attract any attention, that il is only for

who have seen the Islander Of tina re-

its refuta,ion, we deem 1t worthy any
further notice.

| A story equally destitute of truth and
deceney, changing the Ladies' Of Chilli
eothe with having voted a pettieoat to
General Harrison, at the time Colonel
Croghan was presented with sword,
or at SOME other period ofthe late war,
found its way some time since into the
public prints, and the. undersigned, res
idents Of Chillieoths 81 vicinity during
! the late War, have heard that there
I are some persons at a distance foolish
and wicked enough TO circulate this
+ false and absurd story, which is totally
disctedited here, they deem it due to
themselves, 10 their families and to the
Ladies of Chill icothe, to state that the
| above mentioned story is LIE {;
known 10 be such here, and which 30
man Of character dares 10 assert here.
For the instruction of those at dis
lance, who give any credenee to the a.
bove lying story, we inform them that
the Ladies OF Chilieo,hs were thea EN-
ployed in Offices more cengenial TO their
sex and patriotic feeIings,in making up
clothing, blankets and koapsacks for
their fathers, brothers and husbands
who vera in Harrison's Army, leaving
themselves and their children almost
destiiule,in order 10 supply their friends
who had crowded aroaad the Banner
OF their country.
