will have to rely on the generous co-opera-

ofcontinuing our paper in its present size.
The tile we have adopted, we consider

When we FIRST established our paper in this
county. parties had become so completely

We. therefore, thought it prudent not TO
ident ify our paper with any party; hence
the titlewe assumed. The formation of the
Republican party, subsequently. having in
view the propagation Of principles essential
ly Republican, met our entire appreciation,
and we therefore gave it our hearty support,
as we intend TO do in future, as long as il
preserves its integrity.
Arrearages.
We have outstanding, several hundred dol.
lars yet. on subscription, which remained
unpaid when we adopted the cash system.
A number Of our old subscribers owe MS
their entire subscriptions. from the COM
mencement Of the first volume up 10 the lst
Of January last. We have been 10 the ex.
pense Of sending a collector around once.
and since, been TO the trouble of sending
them their accounts, yet we have not heard
from them in any shape. We need this
money very much, 10 meet claims that we
owe, and cannot, therefore, indulge those
who are indebted to us any longer They
must pay up. We hope they will compre-
hend this very modest hint, in the way of
dunning.
w ool Market.
Wool has been receiving considerable at
tention, this week, in Findlay. thought
the amount received will not equal that Of
last year. There have been given from th,r.
ty'hve TO fortyfive cents per pound. Han
cock County is not as favorable for the growth
OF wool, as some others, yet our farmers ap
pear disposed to give the experiment fair
trial. When the county is once so com.
pletely drained as to secure a pure. dry at
mosphere, sheep will thrive much better,
and the business OF wool growing W i'll be.
come more Of an object. In the mean time,
we will rely on our Shanghais when we de-
sire something whereof to boast.
Hancock Jeffersonian.
We send our paper, this week to a num-
Der who are not subscribers, as a specimen
Of the character of the fourth volume. If
they do not feel inclined to subscribe them
selves, will they favor US by handing il to
some OF their acquaintances, who may be
so disposed!
1t will be recollected our terms are 81, 80
year, in advance invariably; or fifteen
copies for SIS.
Approaching Harvest.
We hear quite favorable reports from the
wheat crop, in this county. The weather,
for some weeks past, has been bringing the
grain forward veryrapidly. The late sowed
grain, especially, has been very much i'm.
proved.
Farmers report that they have not seen
much indication Of the presence of weevil.
AS the grain has begun to form IN the head,

How TO Dress.
The poet furnishes the following maxims
In regard to dress, which our lady readers
may appropriate, if they find them strictly
orthodox:
"Let the fair nymph in whose plump cheek
is seen
A rosy blush, be clad in cheerful green."
1.-THE lass whose skin is like the hazle brown,
With brighter colors should o'ercome hel
own."
"Ladies grown pale with sickness or despair,
phe sable's mournful dye should choose to
wear;
So the pale moon still shines with purest ligh,
