EARLY I'm THE FIELD.

The Democracy of Putnam county, as
We observe by the Sentinel, have nomi-
mated their county ticket for the October
election. A. j. TAYLOR, formerly Of
the territory which now forms a part of
Ashland county, is re.nominated for
Probate Judge, and JAMES Fl VAIL, al
80 once a resident of a portion Of this
county when it belonged to Richland, is
re-nominated for Sheriff. Both were
once ~fayorably known to many of our
citizens. These gentlemen have made
honest, efficient and popular officers of
the county in which they now reside
JOHN BUCHANAN, was nominated for
Clerk-and young Buck will be elected.
So will WM. KRAuss, who was nomiua-
ted for Commissioner. Putnam is the

possible altogether. The ground of this
objection was to prevent the spread of
slavery. The real opposition to slavery
was, as we have seen, merely a contest
for power. So bitter and strong was
the contest, that the Compromise finally
adopted was unpopular in this part of
the country. The Hon. Jonathan Ma
son, Representative from Boston, who
voted in favor of it, fell under the dis.
appreciation of his constituents. He
felt the pressure SO severely, that in a
letter to Hon. Daniel Sears, under the
date of the 18th of March, 1920, he
gives his reasons for approving of the
Compromise. He says
Il could not resist the impression that
it was not within the powers conferred
by the Constitution, and that Congress
did not possess the authority 10 impose
the restriction" (against slavery, de-
sired by the North.) al well knew
then, as l have since, and as l now do,
that this opinion was not in coincidence
with the feelings, habits, and sentiments
of that district of country which l rep
resented, and with those of my fellow
citizens generally, whose esteem l val
ued." Again, 30 you I may say also,
that I have had great doubts about the
erpediency Of THIS measure. Evils of
the greatest possible magnitude to
our country appeared to attend it and

Rhe Tory Phalanx of Now England
has been broken. 1t was the boast of
New England that Jefferson was cleo
ted president, without receiving a single
electoral vote throughout its whole ter
ritory, that jackson was also elected
with but a single New England electo-
raj vote, and that in these latter days
Buchanan met with the same fate as the
glorious old "apostle of Democracy"
and went into the presidential chair
without the aid of ore electoral vote
from all Yankesdom; and the hope was
cherished that the Congressional dele

Tand-yea in Connecticut, where blue
light federalism had it's nativity and
home in a month after the Inauguration
of the new administration, we find the
cause Of Democracy and the Union
gaining strength, the lines of the enemy
broke, and where we hoped for nothing,
a gain of two members of Congress,
pledged to the support of the adminis-
tration and the Constitution. This is a
bright omen; New England has always
been the hot bed and nursery of Federal
and disunion schemes. Wherever they
have been ~propagated in other portions
of the Union it has been by engraftings
and importations from New England.
They have indigenous growth no where

h the great question continues to harrass
and torment the minds of a portion ofour cit1-

brains about the solution of that problem,
there is one question that Will not admit of a

still remains, the asylum of that portion of our
fellow citizens who have sought refuge from
high prices and who love justice, and the Fright
sort of goods at fair prices for cash, produce

consider the following reasons:
BECAUSE he has a large and fresh stock of
beautiful goods.
BECAUSE he has some of the richest silks and
moir antique dress patterns ever
brought 10 Ashland.
BECAUSE he has some of the most charming
mantillas ofall the styles now in
vogue.
BECAUSE he has a show case full of brilliant
ribbons and dresstrimmings.
BECAUSE he has n gross, more or less, of most
elegant Parasois.
BECAUSE he has some of the incest bonnets
for the Spring and sunmer that
can be found anywhere.
BECAUSE he has Il choice lot of carpets at low
prices.
BECAUSE he can SUIT gentlemen in any kind
OF goods for their wear from n love
of a cravat to the finest broadcloih.
h can accommodate families with
Groceries, Crockery, and almost
everything wanted for house fur
nishing.
BECAUSE he pays the highest market price
for all Kinds of produce.
AND LAST OF ALL, though not least, but
one of the greatest importance to
the purchaser,
BECAUSE he sells his goods LITTLE CHEAPER

III WEATHER..

According to the Almanac the spring
is more than half gone, and yet the for
ests are as leafess, and we have as lit
tie indication of its being seed time"
as W. had in m~id-winter.
When there is anything strikingly
unreasonable in the condition of the
weather-when it Is unusually cold, or
unusually warm-too wet or too dry
we are inclined to murmor at the ways
of Providence, and complain of the sea-
son being without precedent.
Perhaps the spring of the present year,
in its continuous and persistent rigor, is
unlike any of its predecessors within the
memory of people of this generation
But the Cleveland Herald, in the follow
ing "reminiscences, reminds US that for
mer Aprils have not always brought on

SEASON

For the last few days the topic every
where discussed has been the present
remarkable weather. This unusual
spring. has been a fruitful theme, and
We sincerely hope it may make the sum
msr and autumn also fruitful.
We here know nothing, however, of
April snow storms. On Tuesday last.
the 14tb, we learn by the Utica Herald,
that the snow came down in that city
like feathers, commencing it's fall some
time in the night, and was still at it
when that paper went to press, On the
15tE at 4 o'clock P. n. The roofs of a
marble factory fell in, owing to the
weight of snow, and a portion of a store
roof on Genessee street gave way.
To-day, the 18th, is the anniversary
Of the " great old" snow storm here Of
April-l7, 1S21,-which We have notic-
cd, together with some of the incidents
connected Herewith, as picked up from
the lips of cold settlers" And it must
have been a furious storm to have pre-.
vented a vessel launch, to have worked
the postponement of a wedding, and,
more than all, to have broken up a duck
shooting party. In our EXPLANATIONS at
such unreasonable weather, it is we'll to
revive the memories of former days, serv-
ing as it does to qualify our impatience.
We gathered some facts relative to the
April weather in 1912. which bear upon
this point.
On the 5th of April of that year, a
sleighing party visited Eculid, from
Mayfeld and a gentleman of Cleveland,
with a sleigh, made a business tout on
the fifth, sixth and seventh, having fine
sleighing all the time.
On the 18th of April, that year, a
party Of sixteen. each armed with a dou-
BILE shooter, were on a fox hunt between
here and Rockport, and the snow was SO
deep that an old, long-legged, red fox
could make no time against the dogs,
and therefore "holed." The party dug
him out, and as Reynard started offlake,
ward thirty.two barrels were emptied
at him without raising a hair. The fox
made for the lake, followed by the dogs,
and getting on the ice, which was thrown
up in hammocks, the dogs oVerhauled
the fox, and Doet. AcKLEY;-who we
presume remembers the day and his
jump-started towards the lake bank,
and the snow giving way at the brink,
the Doctor made a leap for life down a
precipice Of over fifty feet, landing in q
twelve foot snow bank, and blowing his
way under, tunnelled through, coming
out near the animals, and brought the
fox to the party before they had recov-
cred from the first awful shock of his
supposed instantaneous death. These
slight incidents help the memory very
much, and by them we are enabled to
compare present dates with the past. It
has indeed been cold for q few days back,
yet compared with some Aprils IN re-
cord this ais net a circumstance. y
