for reasons satisfactory to himself and which, nc

A MAN KILLED BY HIS BRorHER.-

A MAN KILLED BY HIS BRoTHER.-
A German, whose name we did not
learn, was killed by his brother, last
Saturday, near the mouth of the Ten
Mile creek. 1t appears that they had
quarrelled about the division of their
fathers estate, which consisted of two
farms one near Perrysburgh, the
other between this and Monroe. Both
wanted the latter, and having been,
on the day of the occurrence, to a
raising, where both drank freely, they
got into a dispute on their return,
which ended in a fight in the course
of which, the party attacked killed the
other by an unlucky blow. 1t is said
the one who committed the deed, re-
ceived two or three blows, before re-
turning them, and tried in every way
to avoid a fight. The facts have
probably been ascertained by a legal
investigation Toledo Repu6. '''i

During the past week, the weather has
been 50 excessively hot, that our friends,
like ourselves, like 10 lay back in the shades,
and make as little exertion as possible. But
there is no time to be lost; hot or cold, we
must be at our post. battling for the cause.
The temperance cause is still advancing,
and every day increases our faith that
glorious victory is in waiting for the friends
of humanity. The demand for the Cam

is rapidly increasing. Every thing looks
prOpltiOus, but we must keep rolling the
