CLYDE, Sept. 25, 1860.
DRAR JOURNAL The event of the week
was the meeting at the Wigwam last Fri
day evening.
Our first notice for the meeting was given
in the morning when we received word by
telegraph that Gov. Dennison and r. NJ.
Corwiue, Esq, would be here and speak to
us in the evening. We gave out the no
tice during the day, and though little could
be done in the way Of spreading the intel
ligence, the Wigwam was full to overflow
ing; a large part of the audience being la
dies. Mr.. Corwin led off in the speaking,
and for about an hour and half held
the attention Of his hearers, with very
convincing, argumentativo speech.
Governor Dennisou, upon arising was ov.
identity suffering from the labors of the day
at Fostoria, and of numerous other labors
recently rendered in the good cause. At
first he was quite hoarse, but his voice grew
better as he proceeded, and he was enabled
to give us ono of the best and most elo-
quent speeches that it was ever our good
fortune to listen to. The meeting passed
off with great satisfaction, at least to Re-
publcans.
After the speeches our Wide-Awakes
came out with their torches and made fine
display, marching through our streets head
ed by the martial band, and after marching
about town, they serenaded Gov. Dennison,
at the house of John Buckingham, Esq,
whore Gov. D. and Mr.. Corwine were quar-
tered for the night. The whole affair
passed off very pleasantly.
On Monday morning We were favored
with sight of the "little-giant," on his way
to Tiffin. He spoke few words from the
steps of the car; saying that ho thought it
very ungrateful in Mr., Lincoln to run
against him for President, as il was he that
brought Mr.. L. into notice, &c. He did
not say whether that was an original idea
with him, or whether he had borrowed it
from some locofoco paper.
Mr.. D. seemed very much fatigued, and
some were wicked enough to suggest that
he acted very much like most men do when
they are intoxicated. However that may
be, the enthusiasm among tho crowd
seemed to have been covered with "wet
blanket" or something else very dampeniug
in its influences.
About two weeks since, several petty
thefts were committed in our neigbbor.
hood, and among other things, Mr.. Boyd
Of the Ohio House in our town lost pail
of pants. The thief raised window il
the night and took the pants from the bar
Last week man calling himself Rich arc
Halligan was arrested 10 Fremont, charged
with the crime, and after hearing before
Esq. Fem, of our village, he was com
mitted for trial, being unable to obtain $500
bonds.
Last Sabbath young lady, daughter o.
Mr. John West, of York township died very
suddenly, and perhaps mysteriously. She
was visiting, at the house of Mr.. Dariu,
Wilcox, and failing to come to breakfast in
the morning, her room was entered, anG
she was found in an insensible state, from
which she did not revive, but died befor,
night. A post-mortem examination wa
had, which led to the conclusion that she
died of apoplexy. The stomach of thc
deceased was sent to Cleveland for exam
ination.
Our produce market continues very dull
and this seems to be very general com
