Of the dsy on the fences, logs, &c.

Ohio Atlas, published a, Elyfia:
| Reports are rife 10 this vicinity OF
the murder, by mob, near Chillico-
the, of Mr.. Edward Weed, late of Lane
Seminary, and since of CumminesvilIe.
A gentleman Of Marietta, in whom en-.
tire confidence can be placed, reports
the following statement as having been
made in the stage house at Wooster,
by a Kentuckian travelling north in
| pursuit Of slaves, end afterwards re-
peated by the same individual in the
stage, viz that there ives town
gathering at Chillicothe on some day
| of last week, when Mr.. w. arrived in
town on some business and being
known as en- aboli,ionist some indigni-
ties were offered TO bim-such as sba-
| wing bis borse, removing the wheels
Of his wagon, &C., tia. Mr.. Weed

has been honorably and steadfastly
devoted to the interests of his country.
He is now about to retire, and the

[Mr. Haskell here gave short history
of the various battles With their dates
and alluded to the disas-
ters which attended Hull's campaign in
Canada--spoke of the dangers which
Gen. Harrison had encountered-o the
victories he had won, Of the capture Of
Proctor and his savage allies, and of the
effect which it had to inspire confidence
amongst the thousands of border settlers
who had been driven from their homes,
and also on the soldiers of the North
western frontier. who rnieed their voices
in praise of TIE patriot and soldier, Har.

battle and the dangers of the war with
you, be sufficient to destroy your veil
earned fame, we're those thousands not
living witnesses ofthe nphaliow wed lies,
and the unboly persecution of men " ho
would have no shame 10 blot from the
soldier's remembrance, your various
gallant deeds, if il woald avail them 10
