death OF THE WoMAN.-We learn on good
authority that woman (name not given) died sud
denly yesterday at the house of Philip Winnie,
situated in the town of Brunswick, few rods easi
of Oakwood Cemetery-her death resulting from
an attempt made BY physician Of this city to pro
cure an abortion. The facts are thus given II
seems that the woman (who 10 married) has been
for several years troubled with what d generally
known a. St. vitus dance, always when pregnant
but seldom at any other time Being In that way,
Il seems that the doctor undertook to cure her oi
the dance by attempting an abortion-an oct Of the
grossest malpractice, and something We dare say
never before attempted for the cure Of such com
plant. No inquest hes ye, been held on the body
neither has any arrest of the parties implicated
In the transaction been made.

our County Ticket.

r We this week place at the head of our
editorial columns, our County Ticket
The candidates were fairly chosen and
placed in nomination BY one Of the largest
and most respectable Conventions ever as
sembled in Meigs county, and il is there
fore to be presumed that the candidates are
the choice of a large majority of the Re-
publican voters Of the county. The per-
sons chosen are well and favorably known
throughout the county. From the names
presented to the convention, it would have
been impossible to have nominated a very
poor ticket-they were all good and true
Republicans, and men Of moral worth and
integrity-(including ourself, of course,
and many of them have had much expert
ence in public affairs. We could cheerfully
have supported any of them, had they
been placed upon the ticket.
The candidate for Representative is a
warm personal friendof ours; and, in addi-
ton, has always been of the same school ol
politics. AS one of the soUereigns of the great
State of Ohio, therefore, we intend to de.
posit our vote for him next October, and
hope many hundreds of the voters Of Meigs
will be pleased to do likewise. We calcu.
late he will be elected by a very handsome
majority --somewhele between FIVE and
fifteen hundred.
]. ". Smith, our candidate for Sheriff
has heretofore been a prominent member o.
the Democratic household; but finding the
Democracy, like Ephraim, joined to its
idols, he concluded to let it alone. He will
make an efficient Sheriff Major w. Col
lins. has formerly been Wing, and Judge
Ledlie Democrat. Judge Simpson ant
Horace Holt have been Fresoileers, ant

you will perceive that all parties are pretty
equally represented on the ticket.
We shall have much rlore to say of these
men, and their opponents. hereafter, in al
