produce in payment for debts due US on sub.
scriPtion. Also, in exchange for quantity
Of notes and due bills.
CROWDED OuT.-Other business has pre-.
vented US from getting up our usual variety,
and the great quantity of advertising in our
columns has crowded out that which we did.
Those who are disposed to grumble at this,
have our permission to do so, as it is more
than probable that we have grumbled at
them during the past few weeks for their
delinquencies. .. g..
CoURr OF COMMON PLEAs.-The Court
OF Common Pleas commenced it's session on
Monda last, Hon. B. F. HOFFMAN presi.
ding. The number OF cases on the calendar
set down for trial is 100. We shall give a
report Of the cases disposed of in our next
issue.
WEsrwARD.-.On Monday last, our towns.
man, HIRAM w. BRISTOL, Esq, left Raven.
na for Morrison, Whiteside Co., ILL.,, with
the intention Of making that place his future
residence and commencing the practice oi
law in the courts of Whitesids county
Mr.. B. bears with him the coed wishes and
kind regards Of the community; and being q
young man Of talent, well.read in his pro.
fession, and a gentleman in whom every
confidence can be reposed, we cordially rec.
ommend him to the citizens OF his new home.
LIST OF PREMIUMS.-The list OF premi
ums Of the Portage County Agricultural So
ciety will be found in our columns to. day
At the request Of the publishers of this vii
luge, the Society has discontinued, to grea
extent,the awarding of the Ohio Farmer ant
Ohio Cultiualor, as premiums, and substitu
ted agricultural books. Giving preference
to agricultural papers by Agricultural Soci'
eties is on evil which is highly injurious tt
the local press, and we hope our brethren o
the quill in other counties will endeavor tt
inaugurate q similar policy on the part o.
their Societies.
SURGICAL OPERATION "A correspondent
informs US that an important surgical opera
ton was performed in the town Of Palmyra
on Tuesday, April 26th. in case Of Stran
gulated Herniu. by DR.. EWING, of Mahoning
Co., and Dr.. RICE, of Palmyra. The pm
tient, II. C. spookER, is rapidly recovering
and bids fair to resume his ordinary avoca.
tions in a very short period Of time.
This case considering the extraordinary dc
lay Of the operation and the eminent perilt
consequent upon it,may be regarded as one o.
the triumphs Of modern surgery.

Monthly for June, has been received from
the publishers, PHILLIPS, SAMPSON a Co.
1S Winter street, Boston. The table o
contents is unusually interesting and enter.
tanning.
