bell, eight months old, weighing 22 lbs.
down weight. there is any township

son go +; Richland 121 Ridge, 72
Members of independent companies are
not required to be enrolled in the militia
The above statistics, SO far as they GO,
present our county in very favorable
light, as regards health, increase of pop
ulation, &c. We doubt whether any
county in north western Ohio, can show
a greater difference between the number
of births and deaths, and smaller bill of
mortality in proportion to the population.
They establish the fact conclusively that,
as regards health, Wyandot offers as fa-
vorable inducements to settlers as any
other in the State, if not in the Vest
Add to this, her rich soil, (much of which
can be purchased as cheap as any land
in Iowa that is worth having her val
vable timber, pure water, school and
church privileges, market facilities, &C.,
and it is a marvel, not only that she does
not attract larger immigration from
abroad, but that SO many of her own citi-
zens are pulling up stakes to seek home
in the Far West, where they must for
long years be deprived of all of these
privileges, and forever of some of them
settling far and wide apart on the cold,
bleak prairies, where the fire goeth out
and there is no wood. and where the
piercing blasts of winter will chaunt a
mournful monody around their frail hab-
itations, as if Representing them for their
folly. Those of our citizens who are
not past recovery with the Western fe-
ver," would do well to remember the
confession of the dying man "I was
well--wanted to be better--took physic,
and here I am 2"
CoRNERED.-Our friend Sycamore, !"
who is ever ready with his pen to show
up the inconsistencies and twistlfcations
of sham democracy, shoyes the learned
pettifogger into tight place, in his COM
munication this week. We are anxious
to see how the learned gentleman will
escape. Perhaps he will attempt a de-
fence in manly and honorable way; but
it's far more likely he will slur the mat
ter over, or perhaps trot out few more
quotations from his '.hog-latin'' yocabu-
larry. for the edifcation of the enlightened
Democracy. We shall see.
