NEW GOODS.
C.. PRENTISS

Has great pleasure in presenting his sirtieth
EA stock of Spring and Summer Goods, to the
citizens of Portage. 1t comprises the usual varie-
ty suited to the season for which 1t was purchas-
ed.
In reviewing the past thirty years, he has been
much grati6ed to find SO many customers who
have continued to give him their custom. for the
whole period of time, and also, at the steady in
crease Of business, from small beginning to an
amount much beyond his anticipation. And
more pleasing fact still, is, that his customers
have been steadily growing rich. while he has en-
deavored to save from the min Bile sixpence, q
comfortable support. ---e
He regrets exceedingly that he has not for
time past been able 10 bestow more of his person
al attention to his business. but he has endeavor-
ed to make up for that deficiency by securing
competent assistants, land it has not been DEEM
ed necessary to employ one clerk to 'swatcl, an
other'') his customers will find competent clerks
ready to give them prompt attention.
As to prices, he has spared no pains to purchase
low, and has always been content with small
advance, and he has no doubt but what he has
always sold his general stock lower than 8. A. d.
X. A. Gillett, and will continue to do SO as long
Us ne contlnuesin business. r. fszar '--s 4

could efound, sight of him weuli cure the
most lnveterate case of sore eyes and the dispo-
siton that would prompt exlioSbitant profits in
Aurora would do tie same in Rayenna, were
they not compelled, as they have been, by COM
Petition to conform to the long established prac-
tiee of selling goods for small advance
As to "coalltions" he has heard of none, except
Store the Corners and his impression is that
the parties referred to. need have no fears from

Law The uncertain character of the law
was illustrated to us the other day. We
wished to ascertain legal fact, and applied
to three lawyers, Two Of them Of eminent rep
utation, and could get nothing satisfactory.
They thought so and so-but when pressed,
could not answer with absolute certainty.
When we take into consideration that "Ig
norance of the law excuseth no man." and
that it is absolutely impossible half the time
to find out what the law really is, we may
see what nice pickle the legal fraternity
have succeeded in getting their fellow men
into. A revision of the legal code is i'm
peratively called for, in order to settle with
a reasonable degree of certainty, what is and
what is not lawful Sat- Ecen. Post,

Horrible 0ccurrence.-Our town was
startled yesterday evening with the report
Of most foul and brutal murder and an
attempt al suicide, by q man named Geo.
w. Slccam, who was engaged at work up
on the premises of Mr.. Jacob Hare, short
distance in the country. 1t appears that
Slocum, who had formerly lived in Goshen,
township, Delaware county, and has been
a seafaring man, hns been for some time
on bad terms with his wife and was jealous
Of her. On yesterday afternoon he at.
tempted to cut her throat with a razor,
when she resisted and wrested the weapon
from his hand. He then seized an axe,
and cleft her skull, killing her instantly.
He then attempted to cut his own throat,
but did not succeed, before he was arrested
and. lodged in Jail. His wounds are not re-
garded as dangerous. The verdict of the
Coroner's Jury was in accordance with
these facts.
Never has there been time when
series of shocking occurrences in this
region have followed so closely upon the
heels of each other Ohio Statesman,
Nay l6.
