and the gold is not watched the string will twist to
sufocation She thinks If the gold was removed she
would die instantly on one occasion it was removed
While she was asleep and Immediately there were
signs OF stTangulaton. Another remarkable feature
connected with her is this cut off piece OF her
halr and throw it into the fire, and she will show evil
dent signs Of pain or uneasiness by screaming Her
hair has been burnt half mile distant and at the

Tic Campaign.

We are now fairly through the campaign, and
feel much like casting of exciting political topics
to think, read, and write more upon other and
equally mporiaa, matters. The contest has been
ono of mach warmth especially in this locality
We have never seen more elements of bitterness
thrown into political canvass than our oPpo-
nens in Wood County have imposed upon the one
throug'i which We have Just passcl We will not
cnumeratc them hcrc--it is MT necessary. Bat
We must congratulate our Republican friends, and
alarge portion Of tho thinking men who have
hitherto acted with the opposition, on the gentle
manly course which they have pursued throughout,
us well as for the severe s,buke which their con-
duct in the field and at the polls has administered
TO those whohay stepped wilhou! the pale of
common courtesy and general good feeling. Ger
tainly nothing could be more gratifying to us than
the repeated congratulations which we have from
time to time received, alike from friends and foes
for the course which the Journal has pursued. 1t
has been our constant and only aim to advance
the Republican column and defend it against the
poisoned shafts Of the enemy, preiGrring to take
the front rank in the batt1 an receive the shots
of the foe. These have been hurled thick and
fast at our head, but subscription list embracing
more than l5O additional subscribers within two
months is all the evidence we could ask that our
course has met with approval at the hands OF an
intelligent and observing public. For this gener
Gus expression of approval, we wish 10 return our
heartfelt thanks.
