David Radcliffe.

Thisgentleman wishes us to state that he
is desirous of either selling or renting his
portion of the Commercial Block" in this
place. This part Of the building contains
the best business room in town, well adapt
ed for Wholesale Grocery, Hardware,
Or Dry Goods and Fancy Store, dimensions
54 by 10, with beautiful open front. The
second story, in connection with the first
may be used for Offices Or other purposes
having an entrance from the street alsC
from the first room. The Hall is large
and well finished, and can be admirably a
dapted for Town Hall, or place for pub
lie Meetings, Concerts, Ball Room, Dan
cling School, etc, ETC., being 50 feet long
and 38 feet wide in the clear. Mr.. r, wish.
es it particularly understood, that provided
he does not dispose of the property, he
will not lease or rent any part of the same
forany length of time, for any purpose what
ever, that is likely to demoralizo com
munity. The Basement will soon be fin,
ished, which is large and roomy. For
particulars, enquire of David Radcliffe,
Ohio, either in person or by
letter.

THE CROPS OF WHEAT AND WOOL
Everything concerning the incoming crops
is of interest, and, therefore, these items
will be of decided interest. The Buffalo
Democracy says I" From all parts of the
country we are receiving fattering ac'
counts of the wheat crop. Wherever
the snow has disappeared the wheat looks
f esh and green, and the prospect is thai
the coming har est will be plenteous and
abundant.
In regard to sheep the report appears
good. The same paper adds L" Cores
pondents from various parts of the State
inform us that sheep have never been in
better condition than this spring. Very
few have died during the winter and there
is no prevalent disease among them"

Editors Journal
GENTLEMEN: The inquiry is now being
frequently made, as to whether there will
be a Estate Agricultural and Mechanical
Fair" in Ohio, the coming autumn. We
know Of no means of answering this ques-
ton, $50 far as we have the facts, )so well,
as through the "press."
1t is known to many, that the estate
Board of Agriculture has addressed
two circulars to the Railroad Companies
of Ohio,-the first urging them not to
cut off these exhibitions, by passing a
general regulation as proposed. for
charging half freight upon all stock and
articles shipped for exhibition.
The second, respectfully asking them
to reconsider, restoring former terms, af.
ter the regulation above named had pass
ed, on the ground that We could not hold
a Fair upon the plan proposed by them.
1--WE are confirmed in this opinion, by
extensive commune cations with prominent
stock men. For instance, in recent let
ter from Clinton county and to this
county we always look for a very large
entry of stock--wc are told that in case
Fair is held this year, under the plan
proposed by the Railroad Companies
there will be no stock taken from thai
county.)
The three roads named below, are
placed by action Of their Directors, upon
the ground heretofore occupied, viz: will
a full restoration of former terms: Tht
g., C. " c., the G. u Erie, and the Cen
, trail Ohio roads. The Sandusky & Mans
fed Co. replied that they would restor
former terms. provided the Fair be loca
ted upon, or near either terminus of tha
road. AS no invitation has been exten
ded to our Board from either of the point
indicated, we of course cannot make sucl
proposition available. The Ohio 4
Indiana road, extending from Crestlinc
to Fort Wayne, has replied through thci
Directors, in regard to carrying passen
gers at half fair, only on through tickets
but make no mention of the subject 0
the circular, upon which alone we bas,
our action. There have been no com
munications received from Companies no
named above.
We observe that other States have al
ready fixed upon time and place, for thei
several Fairs. 1t is now about thre
months later than the period, at whicl
, our Fairs have heretofore been located
and the preimnaries determined upon
The President of our Board has fxe
upon next month, to call meeting of tn
Board, which will have for its object til
, fixing upon plan of operations, in tn
absence of a State Fair If we hold
State Fair, the preliminaries and locaio
must be determined upon very speedily.

Powder Mill Explosion lone
Man Killedl

We learn, this morning. from Mr..
HUBBARD, the manager Of the Powder
Mill Of Messrs' WATERHoUsE & Co.,
eight miles above Portsmouth on the ca.
nal, that an explosion occurred this
morning abou! 8 o'clock, destroying the
buildings and machinery, and killing a
man named CHAPMAN. The particulars
are as follows:
MIR. Chapman was deaf and dumb,
and is known by many as travelling
book agent. Last night he called at the
residence Of Mr.. Hubbard. and was en-.
tertained over night at one of the houses.
This morning about 8 clock, and be-
lore any one had gone TO the mill, an
explosion was heard, and upon repairing
10 the spot the building was found in ru-
ms and the body OF Mr.. Chapman lying
under portion Of the wall. Such was
the tremendous force Of the explosion
that every particle of clothing was torn
from the body but the boots. The wall
seemed TO have fallen outWardS upon the
deceased and hence it is inferred that
not knowing the character of the build.
ing, he attempted to light cigar with Q
match upon some spot that was charged
with the ignilable dust, which covers ev'
cry portion OF a powder mill, and thu,
the fire was instantly commune ated tc
some powder that was dry, but not grain
ed. ......
The loss, to the proprietors will be
more from delay in getting in operation
again than the destruction Of powder OF
materials.
We were personally acquainted witt
Mr.. Chapman; and he was in our office
on Monday last. He was steady, Hon
est man, and acted as Agent for Bible
Societies, and sold some little works up
on his own responsibility. We thinl
his ireinds live in Piketon. His chest
and other effects are in care of Mr.. Hub
bard.
No blume can be attached to any on,
as the building was locked.-PortS
mouth Tribune, April 9th.

without character, responsibility, EN-.
