OC3Next week the papers will overflow
with messages. The president has sent in
his, he having got tired of waiting for the
house to organize. 1t was read in the SEN
ate, but the house refused to hear it, consid-
erlng the attempt TO force it upon them a
piece of presidential impertinence not to be
tolerated. 1t is published, however. The
legislature Of Ohio will be in session next
week, and we shall soon have Gov Medil's
valedictory message. The weather is too
cold to do much with long winded messages
in small country offices like ours.

We visited Perrysburg this week, and were
pleased to notice the improvements being
made in that place. The Bank has been re-
moved to the building recently purchased by
the company, on Louisiana Avenue, and
now presents an appearance suited to its bu-
slness. Several elegant private residences
have gone up, which add much TO the beau
ty OF the tast-growing capital of Wood coun-
~. Among those we noticed, that of Mr.
Houston sp"rhaps the most elegantly finish
ed and is highly creditabo to the proprietor
and builders Maumce Visitor.

This is shade lower than prices have ru-
led in Perrysburg, but may be taken as fair
quotation at present, with a downward ten
dency. The amount bought here this winter
has been small, though considerably greater
than was anticipated owing to the failure of
the corn crop. But whoever has bought pork
largely this winter we think is destined to
lose great deal of money by it.

DAYTON. r. R,-Something definite has
at last taken place in regard to this road
We learn. indirectly, that at a meeting of the
directors, held last week at Dayton, "a con
tract was entered into with a company of
eight capitalists, of whom Judge Barbee and
Dr. TeltOrd are two, to take and complete
the road within the next two years, and use
it for fifteen years; and to have 100000
second mortgage per cent. bonds of the
road TO aid in purchasing iron; and to pay
the r. r. Co. one-third of the net earnings
of the road during said ID years. We sup
pose their is no mistake about this 1t is
relief to think that something positive
some progress-is being made in the work.
1t does not need two years to place the road
in running order, and if the new managers
are the right sort of men, they will have it
in operation before the end of the present
year. But if two years be consumed in the
construction, it will still probably be an
improvement upon the embarrassments
which have beset the road for the past three

Death of a worthy Citizen.

Died about the middle of last month, at his resi-
dence, Oak Flat, in Pentlleton county, WILLIAM
ANDERSON, aged about is years. He had been a
great sufferer for number of years-part of the
time being rendered helpless, from rheumatism;
and the manly patience with which he sustained
his sufferings, always severe and often increasing
to agony, was characteristic of him. He was q
man of very strong and well+informed mind, and
decided disposition. He enjoyed great degree of
popularity among his fellowci and for many
years prior to his removal Pendleton represent.
ed the county of Shenandoah in the Legislature
He was a member of the Convention of $780, and
had the somewhat responsible position of leading
off on the questions that then divided Eastern and
Western Virginia-his name being first on the roll
and 1t is said of him thai he never wavered or
committed the slightest mistake, in view of the in
terests of his constituents In bis votes the COM

of that memorable body of men, His judgment
was remarkably clear and accurate, and he always
exhibited a marked and conscientious sense of his

A Welt story.

A friend from wetnel county has communicated
10 as an interesting account of rather remarka-
BILE wolf, who has made that region Of country
the theatre of his exploits. He made his first ap-

years ago, and has ever since that time been con-

acquaintance. He seemed to possess some fasci-
nations of manner unusual in a wolf, for he man
aged to ingratia,e himself so thoroughly with the
dogs of the neighborhood, that they became his
associates and friends, and AL logged on together
on the most intimate and confidential terms. His
influence over his natural enemies was very great,
and they soon began to look up to him as their
leader and master 50 long as they manifested
kindly and loyal spirit he condescended to be good
humored and friendly with them; but so soon as
they became pesyish or discontinued, simple
einch of his jaws. crushing them through the DO
dy and producing instant death, imbued their
companions with q thorough conviction OF the va
Iue of cheerfulness and contentment. This formi-
dable animal seemed to regard 1t as perfect past
time to be pursued by the largest pack OF hounds,
and by bull dogs, dogs and all the rest OF dog
kind The hunters of Wetzsl, however, inspired
by an offered reward of 5000, organized them
selves under the command of an experienced lead
or, and commenced regular campaign against his
Wolfship, in the month of December last. The
campaign lasted for thirty days. and was kept up,
amidst the intense cold of that region the assail'
ants suffering much from frost and the want OF
food The wolf, however, successfully defed their
attack and in fact, appeared to hold them in SO lit
tie fear, that he contrived, during the chase, to
pay visit to the house of farmer, with whose
dog he had, on former occasion, formed an agree
able acquaintance. His social impulses, however,
proved the cause of his ruin for the master of the
dog received him ,most inhospitably with a shot
from rife; and on his retiring Indignantly to
neghboring forest, be unluckily encountered a MINI
rod, who gave him his death wound. The destruc-
ton of this wolf has caused great rejoicing in
Wetzel county. whose people had lost not less
than two thousand dollars worth of property from
the ravages of this monster.
