Prescription.

Over in Newark the people are blessed
with county Treasurer, named HOLMES
"a @hig,-who has undertaken to force
voters to exercise the right OF suffrage as
he tells them! Because Grocer Ofthat
town, named Williams, wouldn't vote as
the said Holmes told him, why, the said
Holmes has since been furnishing his stub
borness by an endeavor to drive custom
from his Store!
Such petty despots ought TO be made
foot. balls Of for every man to kick who
wears strong boots Eagle.
Now this Mr. Williams says that Mr..
Holmes did not try to force him to vote
the. Taylor Ticket and that he has not
drawn even his Own custom from his
Store!
lfsuch petty despots ought TO be made
foot balls Of, for every man to kick who
wears strong boots," what should be done
to the man who makes false charges a.
gainst his neighborl Tar, feathers and
rail would be too good for him.

1t will be seen that the Wing vote is
less than it was at either of the two pre-
ceding Presidential elections, and that
the Locofoco vote has fallen off from that
of 1914 one hundred and twenty-five
votes, The falling offin the whig vote is
1O4.
Comparing with 1874, it will be seen
that the Wing vote has been increased g
in Greenfield Is in Pleasant, 10 in Mad
ison and in Perry. In all the rest it
has fallen off.
The Locofoco vote has increased s in
Bern, Is in Hooking, s in Walnut and 2
in Bloom. In Auburn it ties, and in eve-
ry other township there is decrease.
We are of the opinion that the vote of
each party was polled; if we except Vi
olet and Bloom, in the former of which
the Locofoco strength was not all out and
in the latter the Wing strength. Ger.
tain it is that there has been no increase
ofthe vote ofour county or its population
within the last four years; and, not polit-
ically, but socially, the fact speaks to the
citizens of the county in terms not to be
misunderstood. Where emigration is
from county, the value of its real estate
must decrease. People move to those
places, where there is more rf the spirit
ofimprovement and where they can reap
the advantages to be derived from it. 1t
will be well for our citizens to examine
this subject and carry into effect some
measure to prevent this rctrogade move

use Of Chloroform. The sponge was ap.

Fraudulent Tickets.

A number of fraudulent tickets were
found in the boxes in Seneca County, ex-
actly the kind ofthose which were disco
vered in Morgan and Washington Coun-
ties, and exposed before the election
There were tickets, headed with Cass
and Butler, and finished with the Taylor
Electors; others, headed Van Buren, and
Adams, and finished with the TAYLOR E.
lectors. These tickets were basely frau
dnlent, because they were intended to
catch votes for Taylor and Fillmore from
Democrats and Free Soil men.
None of this class were voted in Fair
field County,-owing, perhaps. to the ex-
pnsure of them else here, and the warn
ing against them which was published at
the polls on the day of the election.
The above appeared in the Eagle of
last week. The tickets spoken of were
printed at the Office of a .free-s -sOir paper
they were not printed at Wing of
fee. The article above is intended to
deceive. But it adds: "none of this class
were voted in Fairfield County,-owing,
perhaps, to the exposure of them else
where. &C." The latter clause is a pal.
pable falsehood.
Upon this same subject, referring tc
the hand-bil we published, the Zanes
vile Courier says:-
"This information (says the handbill
we have in perfectly reliable shape
