On the Beth Nov, 1861, in his ken
mel, TowsER, my old and faithful watch
dog, who, Notwithstanding natural
sourness of temper, and some other de-
fects, had many good qualities as dog,
He was not a natural genius, but by pa
tience and perseverance, became an ex-
cellent hunter, on small scale. In his
better days he was too severe for hogs,
except in extreme cases; but was always
good to bring home the COWS. As he
was not swifb of foot, the fox could al
ways easily outstrip him in the race, but
never vas known to evade him with a
hen in his mouth He was frequently
found baying the raccoon or the opos-
som in or very near the hen-house; yet
so great was his vigilence that the poul
try were invariably protected. He con
tinued his watchful habits till within a
few days of the time of his death, when
he ceased to ebay the moon, " and betook
himself to his KENNEL and was gathered
unto his people, and now rests at the
foot of moss grown rock in young
orchard, one half mile south of the sum-
NIT of the Rowly hill, on and near the
head waters of Storys Run, hard by the
hen-roost which he has SO long and
faithfully guarded. WM. HoGG.

M, E'd!tor-.Sir: / n your last issue
there appears another banter to ''Elmer, y

appears in nearly every paper that has
a list of volunteers from any township
or district, from one Mr.. Ira Of col
i've" in which he adds 13 moro names
to the list which Mr.. 81. II, S. of that
township had sent you some time ago,
(of 70 names) swelling the number to
so.
Now, Mr., IRA is mighty good at
counting, or else he wants to beat some
body else, or he is jealous, (though he
denies it bitterly,) or else he has got
new kind Of figures up there where hs
lives; for down here 20 and 13 only
make SO, while he made 90; bat [
reckon it was caused by er-sight, or
he don't take the papers, . or ne would
have known better. So now, Mr.. ''Ira,
get your figures right next time, before
you run in SO 'big'
And in the same paper there is a list
of Chester Township volunteers" by
Mr.. J. c. Bestow, and he couats 90; and
he either counted 10 too many (for there
is but SD or else you failed to print it
right Which was it2

seen before that time, that I had sent
18 names from our district; so this is
more than they sent, and we have only
29 voters; SO now | challenge 'sthem,''

doubt but if | had perfect list the

10Th of November, 1861, for the list

but little, if any, over 200 voters. We
will base our representation on the
number of men subject to military duty.

Hsa.See the letter of our correspond
ent, Charlie, from Camp Jefferson,
Kentucky. He is in the Eighteenth
Ohio, in which are many of our Meigs
County boys. Their friends will be
glad to learn the good moral condition
of the Regt Those who know Col
Stanley, our late Senator, will not doubt
the interest he will take in the welfare
of those under his command. He has
long been known as an earnest and ae-
tive friend of religion, temperance, and
every moral agency, designed for the ol-
=eyation, Improvement and happiness of
the masses. Entering the volunteer
services from asense of duty to his coun-
try, be has not forgotten that the moral
virtues may be cultivated in, and will
adorn the camp, as well as the peaceful
pursuits of life And where such ma
commands a regiment, much of his
spirit will be communicated to the men
whose health will be preserved, their
morals remain uncontaminatsd, they
will be better soldiers, and will return
to their homes and society, hopored
and respected, and prepared to resume
the duties of civil life, without causing
a regret to their friends for bad habits
acquired in the camp We are happy
to know that there are many officers in
the service Of a high moral character.
But it is unfortunately true that there
are others who seem to think all the re-
straining influences of religion and vir-
tue should be banished from the camp
as incompatible with military career.
And in such cases, the bottle soon takes
the place Of the Bible, and profanity
banlshes prayer; and thousands will
return debauched, and ruiRed-unft to
resume their places in society on the
close Of the war. All honor to those
who maintain their integrity in the
midst of temptation.

EGr We are constrained to return our
sincere thanks to many of our subscri-
bers for their remittances within the last
few weeks. IF tn ose who have not yet
found it convenient to pay up, will make
an effort to do SO, they will greatly
oblige us, indeed We had thought Of
comm ancing the year strictly on the cash
system, and believe it would be for
the best interest of all parties. to DO so.
But in consequence Of the arrangement
of the times we know it is difficult to
raise money, and being satisfied that
most of our subscribers intend to pay up
as soon as they can, we have not en-
forced the rule
We regret to say, however, that there
are quite a number who are in arrears,
for one, two, three and even four years.
This is a very heavy tax upon US, and
is a load that is becoming difficult to
carry. Any one can see that the office
could not be supported by subscriptions
to the paper, even if all paid promptly.
1t cnsts every cent of the subscription
price, to get up the paper. The sup
port of the publishers, if the Office sup
ports them at all, comes from the adver-
tisements and joh-work. Every sub
scriber, therefore, who is in arrears, olces
us for Just SO much money adunnced to
hinsin supplying him acith the Paper
Andsany one can see that it is not a
paying business to loan out money In
suaese from 81 so to $500, and ,cait
fro n ome to four gears, to hare 1t returned
acahom interest But such is precisely
the effect of publishing paper without
the cash in advance,
- We do not make this statement by
way Of complaint, for it is the peculiar
ecay in which we have conducted the
! business, and have no body to blame for
it. And, although, our losses will be
heavy,in the aggregate, they will be
compensated in measure, by large
fund Of first rate euperience, which we
have thereby accumulated. But we
have nearly as much Of that article (ex-
periencs) as we can invest to any profit,
and heneeforth we will prefer Ohio
Bank Bills, or US. Treasury Notes, in
stead-not wholly refusing other cur
rencY when offered.
