HIsToRY OF OHIo.-The author, JAS.
W.,TAxLoR, has laid upon our table the
history of Ohio, embracing the period
from 1850 to 1887; commencing with
the obscure memorials and traditions of
Ehe early Indian tribes. tracing the rise
aud progress of the fearful struggle for
che Ohio and st. Lawrence valleys, be-
tween European powers; repeating the
simple chronicles of Morayian zeal and
courage. and preserving. with the full
ness of detail which authenticity de-
nands those early monuments of con-
tinental legislation, that has proved. in
their fuller Development, the deep and
broad foundations of the Common
wealth of Ohio. This history hardly
emerges from those mists of time.
which distinguish an antiquarian era

LARGE TURNIPs AND RADIsHEs.-Mr.
JACOB ELLIOTT last week left ten turnips
and two radishes at our Office, which
we believe would have taken the pre-
MUM at the Worlds Fair. One of the
radishes weighed four pounds, and was
perfectly solid and good. We did not
weigh the turnips. but we will venture
the assertion that they were the largest
raised this season in the county. Mr..
E. intended exhibiting his turnips at
our late County Fair, but having for
gotten the number required by the
managers to be placed on exhibition, he
was ruled ont, having brought but five
when they required six. He most as
suredfy would have taken the premium
Mr.. ELLIOTT is as famous for big tur-
nips as RoTHeEB is for potatoes.

Hoes.-The Madison, Indiana, Cour-
ier says: "In this market we under
stand 81 90 nett is offered by packers.
"The Louisville Journal says: The
prevailing rates now seem to be SO 90
gross along the line of railroads, and
50 25 on time. This is about equal to
"a so nett. 1t is proper to say that
some dealers engaged in the provision
trade are of opinion that the market
will open at 81 rs nett and an advance.
GOOD corn-fed hogs will doubtless
be scarce, while poor, and still-fed hogs
will be largely in excess Of any previous

SAD Aoc1pESr.-It becomes our duty to re-
cord q most painful and heartrending occur
renee, BY parents allowing their children the
of FIRE aims. On Saturday morning Last
some half dozen boys, children Of citizens of
our town, were out rabbit hunting, on Mrs.
shepard's farm, above Mil Creek, when an
accident occurred which in all probability viii
result in the death Of one of the number
Several Of the boys were sitting ina circle
eating locust pods, when one Of them threw a
small pumpkin At Fred. COmley, son OF III.
Crumley, and struck him upon the hand IN
which was a loaded pistol with the hammer
up. The concussion caused an explosion, and
the entire discharge, being bullet Of say six
ty to the pound, entered the head Of CHARLES
SuEPxsp, son Of Mrs. Maria L. Shepard, and
grandson Of Charles Creuzet, Esq, above the
right eye, and penetrated the top of that lobe
Of the brain to its utmost extremity, dreadful
Iy lacerating land leaving but small hopes
for his recovery. A large number Of our citi-
sens inmediately repaired to the spot, and by
their presence and exertions did all in their
power to soften the child's suffering. We
deeply sympathize with Mrs. Shepard, and
hope that the skill of the physicians in atten-
dance, together with the probability that he
may not be as deeply hunt as was first suppos-
ed, may recover her son. ~
We cannot pass by this occasion without
severely reprehending our citizens for this un-
pardonable practice of allowing boys who
have not, or scarcely entered their teens, to use
fire arms. The many serious and often fatal
accidents which happen, should be warning
to them and suffice to teach them better. In a
case aggravated like this parent should be
held responsible for the act of his minor. We
hope to hear no more of this practice in this
place.
P. S.-Upto 10 o'clock Tuesday night the
patient had rested well, considering the severe
wound, being fully in possession of his senses,
and no inflammation Of any account. The left
side, however, has been paralyzed since the
occurrence.

"GAuL."-It win be seen by the fol-
lowing that our friend Wx. HAHEY
PzEPLEs, ESQ.,, has arrived and taken
up the quill in defence Of himself against
the unwarrantable attacks by "Gaul-"
"Gaul" in his last article complains that
he '1has been the subject of slander and
detraction ever since he came to this
town." and attributes the cause TO his
devotion to democracy" We think
instead of this, he has slandered almost
every one of his acquaintance who do
not think as he does. He made an un-
provoked attack upon US, and meeting
with rather a warm reception, shifted
the matter on our friend PEOPLES, and
from his last article one would be led to
believe that he is conscious of having
in this instance "waked up the wrong
passenger" Had this Gaul attended
to matters that interested him individual
ly instead oftaking up the pen in defence
of democracy, that rotten old hulk. and
that too at the price of private char
acter, he would now be much better
and wiser man. No, he must be med
Ter, take matters in his own hands to
adjust that do not concern him, and
voluntarily deal out calumny and abuse
to all around him, upon the innocent as
well as the guilty, and when an effort
is made to check him in his mad career,
he throws himself upon sympsthizing
public. For our part we have no sym
pathy for him until he learns to deal
Justly with his fellows. As Mr.. PEE
PILES occupies considerable space in our
paper, we shall waive the remarks we
intended, hoping this will be the last
we shall hear of "Gaul:''
