Patriotic Action of Republican,.

In Hardin and several other counties the Repub-
lican County Central Committees have rendered
their designations, giving as a reason for this action
that their considerations Of duty to their country is
more Imperative than the demands of party; and
also to avoid embarrassments that might result
from official inaction. While thousands Of repubH-
cans and democrats, forgetting for the time all par
ty differences and arrangements, arc side by side
nobly risking their lives in defense Of tho Govern
mcnt, they arc unwilling that by any act Of theirs
party striCcs and anmosites shall be enecudcred
among those who remain al hcme. This is truly
patriotic action, and should receive due cousidcra-
tiou from county central committees throughout the

Mrs. ). n. BEACH died at Vanlue Hancock Co.,
ohio, on the 9th of August, 1861, aged AZ years.
Her remains were accompanied to the cemetery, in
his place, by her relatives and large number of
friends. Her disease, pulmonary consumton, caus-
ID a slow and painful passage from the vigor of
ife to the cold sleep of the grave; but during this
period of suffering, she exempled that maturity of
character, which, as a wife, mother, friend and
christian, commanded the esteem of all who knew
her. To her husband, whether in the season Of
prosperity or that of ahcton and trouble, she was
yer the same judicous advisor, the true hearted,
tympathetic wife.
Those who were acquainted with her in domestic
citations, can most emphaticaly say, "She looked
veil to the ways of her household-she ate not the
bread of idleness." She possessed the devoted
owe and obedience of her children, to whom her
cath will be an irrepairable loss.
Her acts of kindness were free from ostentaton;
nd their recipients felt that they proceeded from
be sincerity and fulness of the soul.
For many years she was member of the NJ T.
Church, Perrysburg, in which capacity prompti.
ude, earnestness and devotion ever characterized
per. Her religious enjoyments were calm and set
led, and she was at all times possessed by deep
ense of gratitute to God for his mercies. With
humble faith in the merits of the Redeemer, she
patiently awaited the approach of DEATH in the sure
md certain hope of glorious resurrection. She
las now entered her rest aliotion and trouble with
ler have ceased. We, who frequently listened
her songs of praise, shall no more hear that voice
lit is silent in the grave; but the nobler, sweeter
strains of the redeemed are hers. "Blessed are the
lead which die in the Lord for they rest from their
labOss and tbaI works do folloy tham." O.

Taxes.


Probably no other part Of tho country has paid
heavier taxes than the county of Wood; stautcd as
it is its best lands so level that without enormous
expense, in leading of the surplus water, crops
were in danger of being destroyed, as all the early
settlers Of this county know, both by experience
and observation.
Twenty-Five years ago, most Of the pra'ues ana
forests of Wood county were at times exposed to
floods, which often made those prairies appear
more like inland lakes, than fertile meadows, and
when some far seeing sage predicted a time when
those seeming lakes should smile with fields of
wheat and corn and delightful FARMS it seemed
like some fancy sketch not to be realized
But the time has come, and the praities once so
exposed to foundations, are now variegated with
different crops of grains, grasses and vegetables:
farm establishments are now located where once Il
boat might have Aoated many months in the year.
and where waved then coarse water grass and
weeds, now wave smiling harvests.
But this has not been done by miracle. Many
plan has been laid, but none succeeded until tue
people went TO work unitedy and perseverngly
and self-prcservation prompted to tho levying aud
cheerful payment of such taxes US never were be-
fore dreamed of in republican government.
Many farm and village lot has changed from
one owner to another, as its value was consumed
by frghtlul levcs called taxes; and all from dire
necessity; roads and farms must all be drained
before living could be obtained or produce trans
ported to market
Expensive turnpkcs have been made with ditch
es and outlets, and all by direct tav. 10 this the
people have chccrrully submitted, as they found
their crops increased, and real estate advancing in
value. At present, the plans for the draining Of
swamp lands, the opening and improving the cham
ncls of creeks, etc, are ncrcasug and the success
OF such efforts in the past prompts to thorough and
immediate action. But the present is peculiar
time. Money it is almost impossible to get grain
is unprecedentedy low, and war taxes arc about to
be levied, and hard times are upon us. Under the
present circumstances, would it not be we'll for the
commissioners of Wood county, at least to postpone
for the present. the expensive labor of opening
creeks and large outlet bitches, and TO rctlench as
far as possible all public Improvements not because
they are unnecessary, but because the people can
not pay for them just now? JosEpu CLARKE.

Cnptnin MnaN.

Our young and much esteemed friend of the
Shelby County Democrat, Abraham Kaga, is whole
souled patriot as well as printer. Having served
as captain of volunteer company for three mouths,
he now declares that as war has been forced upon
us by the disunioniss Of the South, he prefers to
be soldier in support Of the Constitutional Gov
crnmcnt instead of remaining at home as a civil
ian. Says Capt Kaga: "Firmly and earnestly
entertaining this opinion, and knowing, too, that
the services of five hundred thousand men are re-
quired by the Federal Government to put down
formidable rebellion-a conspiracy gotten up bv
men for the overthrow Of liberties, and the

this they should do willingly and freely.

AT the request of several of our citizens, Mr.. T..

ganis in the Cathedral Of the Holy Trinity, is about
TO visit Pcnysburg, either this week or next, for
the purpose Of giving private instruction in the the
cultivation of the voice. and also to give lessons on
the Piano Forte and Melodcon. Mr. $. comes with
host of testimonials from many of the leading mu-
sicians of the country, and we assured that as
pianist and practical teacher lie is not exceled on
the Western continent. In singing he has adopted
the style of Soblache and Conconi, two of the most
celebrated singers in Europe. He has had much
experience in successfully training voices for the
Stage and Concert room. Mr. S. will probably de-
vote two days in each week in Pcuysburg, his pre-
vious engagements preventing his being here more
than that. All communications may be addressed

Union for the Sake of The Union.

As far as are able to learn it seems TO be the
desire of very large majority of the people of
this county to unite in the common cause of the
s"Unon for the sake of the Union" at the approach
ing fall election. They pretty generally seem TO
regard the salvation of the Union as above all
party, and, until it is ascertained whether the
people of this Government are really capable of
.self-government, we see no good reason why party
organizations should not be ignored altogether.-
Especially should this be the case at the present
critical junctue, when rebellion and disunon stare
us in the face, and threaten with destruction the
best form of government on the face of the earth.
If ever there was time when past animosities
should be forgotten, that time is now Peope
should assemble together as Union men, as lovers
Of common country, and form such ticket as the
people can support with full assurance that their
pest interests and those of the county, state and
ation will be duly regarded and energetcalIy pro-
noted. 1t is believed that a convention should not
pc called by the central committees of either of the
ld parties, but rather by men of both parties; and

There are better times in store for if there
