ACRuMB OF CoMFoET.-The WellSv.lle Patriot
and the Mahoniug Sentinel which have been dis.
turbed OF late, lest Salem should become a county
seat with a union Of the Garfield and New Lisbon
Court Houses, are now quite at rest on that excit.
ing topic. Since the Unreasonable document"-the
petition for the dissolution of the Union-they
feel certain that the Legislature will not touch
another Salem petition with a ten foot pole. Of
course the new county will 50 by the board. That
gives some comfort to our neighbors. Well do
pray take all you can my good friends. The way
of sinners who are in union with shareholders is
a hard road to travel and well may they be thank
full for small favor, however fallacious.
