SINGULAR CONFLICT WITH DEER.-As Mr.
John Gillian and wife, of Fairfield, in this coun-
ty were returning hume from visit to neigh
boris and passing through the woods, their dog
started up large and powerful buck. The ami
NAL being much disposed to stand his ground,
and evinciia no fear at the sight of a man. wo-
man. and dog, was vigorously seized al the nose
by the strong grasp of the latter. Mr. Gillian
was much disposed to remain at a safe distance
from the now engraged deer, but Mrs. Gillian,
seeing the imminent danger of their highly val
ued dog, which the deer was handling at rough
rate, and being greatly excited, caught up club
and ran to his assistance. Finding the rude
weapon had no effect on the deer, she dropped il.
aud in her frenzy caught him by the horns, at q
period when it was exceedingly dangerous to
" hang on or let 60" Mr.. Gillian realized
the terrible situation in which his wife had
placed herself, and knowing to secure her secu-
rity, no time was to be lost, caught the deer,
and with his pocket knife severed the principal
cords of his hind legs and vile the wife and
dog clung to the animals head, succeeded also,
in cutting his throAt-thereby relieving his fear
less and umequaled better half, and faithful dog,
aud securing very acceptable back load, Of the
best fresh meat of the season.- OlUoSso mich

d Wood County.

The crops for the present year are matured,
and all, with the exception Of corn, harvested.
How stands the account with them in Wood
coun,y7
The grass has been une1ampled in quality,
and secured generally in prime order. This will
enable our farmers to winter their stock so as
to bring them out in the Spring in fine condi-
ton. 1t has had an effect upon the price of
cattle, and strange as it may SEEM it has served
to enhance it. Large prices have been and
would still be paid to get mouths to eat our
super-abundance of hay.
The pototoe crop exceeds anything ever before
realized in our county. Usually the crop has
been so limited that prices ranged high, but now
there is no sale for them. They are generally Of
the very best quality, indeed, we have heard no
complaint Of rot, and not only thousands but
tens of thousands OF bushels will be used for
fattening prok.
OF barley and rye there was but little sowed,
but the few feldswe had yielded abundantly.--
We are are surprised that our farmers do not
bestow more attention upon the cultivation of
barley, as we feel assured they can not raise u
more profitable crop. And it is always cash
article.
More breadth of land was sown to wheat last
Fall than ever before in our county, and never
did we harvest fuller crop. The quality also is
excellent. The exceedingly low prices has
brought but little out, as yet.
The great crop of our county is corn. There
were tens Of thousands more acres planted this
year than in any preceding one, and the yield
is more than an average. About the first
of September, great fears were entertained in
regard to frosts, but happily they were delayed
until our great staple was matured.
To our supply of garden vegetables, there is
scarcely limit.
or strawberries, currants, cherries, peaches
and pears, We have had very large yield. The
apple crop has been fair, but not large--Iargel
with us We however understand, than perhaps
in any other region of the State.
No county has, perhaps, been blessed with
more ample productions than our own-few
probably equal to it. With US il has been EN-
phaticalIy year of plenty.
In view Of these facts and they have beer
characteristic Of the three preceding years, is i
not strange that we have SO many cheap land
seeking purchasers. Are not migrants from
the east regardless of their interests in neglect
ing the rich and fertile soil of North Westerr
Ohio to settle upon the cold. bleak prairies o
Iowa and Minnesota?
We would invite those seeking new homes il
the west TO visit our county and examine it
resources and advantages before going farther
feeling confident, that should they do SO, the
will remain with us.

Walker and Stanton have issued proca-
nation. defending themselves for throwing
out the Oxford fraudulent votes, and Walker
was compelled to retire to private retreat in
the country to avoid being attacked by the
enraged border ruff ms. Judge Cato issued
an injunction to prevent Walker from giving
certificates of election to the free state oand
dates for the Legislature in the Oxford district
Much excitement prevails. Reports are cur
rent that Buchanen will remove Walker, but
it is hardly possible that he will dare to do it.
The border ruffians will doubtless endeavor
to compel Walker to resign, and in this they
may succeed.

STRANGE OccuRRENcE.-A few days since, q

he would throw it into ponds of water, or bury it

A. and Mrs. c, H. Parliman, has been suspended
for short time, and is offered for sale. The es,
tsblishment, we are assured, can be purchased at
a bargain. All that is required to make the pa
per pay, is enterprise and little editorial skill
The citizens of Maumee will not suffer the perma
nent dscontinuancG of their paper, unless they arc
more ignorant of their true interests than we sup
pose them to be.
Mr. Parliman has IN offer to engage in bust
ness which pleases him better than editing pa-

let. 1t would crafty us much to see his editorial
mantle fall on worthy shoulders. He proposes to
sell the subscription list and material for printing

last proposition is made because the paper eau be
printed at Toledo or in this place, where much
news matter can be transferred to its columns rou
other papers, by which much composition will be

TT 0a thursday night of last week, quite an
exciting incident occurred in Montgomery town
ship Dr.. Carmnn, who has a store a: the cross
roads left for the east some days previous, leaving
the store in charge of his son, about Is years of
age. On Friday morning tine store door had the
appearance of having been forcibly opened and
the young man was missing, most of his clothing
remaining in the store. The neigiborS were very
much alarmed, many of them supposing young Mr..
Garman had been murdered. We believe it is the
general opinion at present that the young man
wished to travel" aud took French leave OF his
friends in this rather unusual manner, His "wild
oats ARE doubtless beginning to disturb him, and
we hope he may SOW them without anything more
serious than appears to attach to this transac-
1ion, which may to him have something romantic
connected with it..
