By their verses on Euchre tits evident quite
Neither SAKE nor the Douglas regard Il Alright;
Since the first would rafuse all assistance TO own
And boldly at al times "attempt It alOne''
While the latter, unable his foe to resist,
Expects that his partner will always assist
Now, IL Euchre illustrates the great Game Of
Life
1t is not BY partially aping the strife;
There are times when 'tWere folly to "play 4

There are times when partners assistance were

Since attempts to succeed were the enemy gain.

LEGAL NOTICE.

HENRY SEARLS and Harris Searls are
IL hereby notified that, on the 9Th day Of No.
vember A. ID. 1861. George King and Lucinda
King his wife, filed in the Office Of the Clerk of
the Court Of Common Pleas Of Geauga County,
State OF Ohio, THEFT bin Of complaint against the
said Henry Searls and Harris Searls and others,
setting iorth that one Stephen Searls, late of said
County, the father Of said Lucinda, denry and
Harris, on the 18th Gay of April, A. u. 1858, ex-
ecuted an instrument in writing, pnrporting to
be his last will and testament, and afterwards,
orthe Goth day of March. A. d. 1861, depa ted
this life, leaving Permelia Searls, his widow,
and certain children named in and made parties
TO said bill, his legaees, to whom he beque eathed
al his property. Said compliments aver in said
DILL that said Stephen Senrls, at tine time OF his
executing said instrument, was not OF sound, dis.
posing mind and memory, and on the contrary,
was In his dotage, diseased in body and mind
and was so weak and feeble in body and mind,
as TO be wholly incapable Of making any lust or
proper disposition OF his estate. g. was under i'm.
proper restraint and undue influences from said
iegatees; that said instrument is not, in fact the
last will and testament Of said Stephen Searls.
and the same is wholly void for want of capacity
on the part OF said Stephen to make a valid will
Ihe prayer OF said bill is, that an issue al law
be made up TO Try the validity OF said pretended
will; and, II the issue be found against said pre-
tended will that then by the decree Of the Court
the same may be decreed null and void, and the
estate OF said Stephen Searls Distributed accord
ing TO iaw-und Tor further relief. The said Hen.
~, Senrls and Harris Searls will answer said
bill by the lst day Of tho October Term Of said
Court. A. d. 1869.

Hambden Mite Society,


FRIEND CONVERSE MY attention hal
been called to another article from YOU,
correspondent, of the Hambden Mite Socie
ty. The article seems hardly worthy OF
notice, for the writer must have written
under the influence Of momentary excite.
nent. lie certainly would not have accused
his friend so rashly under other circum.
stances. 10 my reply, there were no mis-
representations hesped upon bis first article
AS he mentioned those who made ardent
prayers, and no others, 10 that article. as
6olng unwilling to render aid to the soldiers,
ne seems to have concluded that Christians
are the only penurious souls we have. l
felt that h6 was laboring under some disad.
vantage, not knowing that Christians had
opened their pocket books in charity, as we'll
as their hearts in prayer; and thought it
might be pleasing to him to learn that
Christians, also, have hearts filed with be-.
nevolence, and are aiding the bravo de-
fenders Of our country. He seems to be
laboriDg under doubts still, as he has
made inquiry of the Aid and Mite Societies
TO ascertain whether really have contribu.
ted anything. Upon hearing the answer,
"Not one cent" he turns away with the
