DEATH OF LIT. REYNoLDs.--LINUs T.
REYNOLDS, of Co. D., 104th O. " L, died at
Hospital No. 6, Lexington, Ky, on the 18th
of April. His remains were brought to
Windhanl, and inferred on the 29th of April.
Mr.. REYNOLDS was member of Co. F., 7th
Regiment, during the three months service.
and on his return organized and drilled ju-
venile military company in his township
which many of our citizens have had the
pleasure of seeing on public occasions there
and elsewhere. Mr.. REYNOLDS was an earn
est and jealous patriot-and cheerfully left
his home and family to encounter the perils
and disasters of the field That he has fall
len in the direct line of glorious duty causes
much lamentation among those who knew
him most intimately.
He was taken prisoner at the time our for
ces were driven from Danville, Kentucky
being in the hospital there. By those who
took him prisoner he was, when in avery
weak condition, obliged to march in their
| front until he was exhausted-and then left
in his weakness upon the ground. On this
occasion he contracted the disease which
| terminated his life in the Both year of his age.
LEMENs SMITH, of Co. D., 41st o. V. L,
has returned home honorably discharged, be-
cause of wound that cripples him for life.
He volunteered in October, 1861, and was a
participant in the battles of Pittsburg Landing
and Murfreesboro. In the latter engagement
i he was wounded, ball striking one of his
| legs, just below the knee, shattering the bone
SO that for time amputation seemed inevi-
table With good care he has in the Louis
vile Hospital been slowly gaining, and now
comes home a war worn veteran to the scene
! of his former life, and is greeted warmly by
the old friends who delight to honor him as
one of their representatives and defenders.
A NOVEL, LAMB ExTERMINAToR was killed
by w. A. MESSENGER few days since upon

disappearance Of Lambs caused Mr.. MEssEN-
GER to institute search for the "Varmint''
committing the depreciation, and resulted in
his finding and killing an old female fox, that
4 proved to be the author Of the mischief
The fox was discovered and killed near her
headquarters where was found litter of nine
promising young foxes, that had attained the
size of half-grown cats. These were also
summarily dispatched

Two or three weeks since, Doct A. Bas-
sett. of Rootstown, went to Wisconsin and
Minnesota, to spend some little time to re-
cruit his energies, exhausted by assiduous ap-
plication to an extensive and successful prac-
tice. Doct Bassettrhas approved himself one
of the most skillfull and successful practition-
ers in this country, and his large and extern
sive ride for a long series of years, attests the
peoples appreciation of his services. The
community greatly regret the necessity which
withdraws him from them even temporarily,
and hope for his not distant return, restored,
strengthened and recovered from his debility,
to again enter upon the practice of his profess
sion, with his accustomed promptitude and
assiduity.
During his absence, his wife will attend to
the adjustment of all unsettled accounts
For this purpose, his books and papers have
been intelligently arranged, and all interested
are invited to call and adjust their accounts.

valIandigham and Morgan.

A significant rebel letter published in
the Chicago Tribune, states that Vallan-
dieham, while on his tour among his
Southern friends, told the writer his
election depended upon the fate Of
Tich8Jmgl AS if it we're not enough
to convict the martyr Of completely with
the rebels, correspondent Of the Gin
cinnati Gaaette writes as follows: Your
would be Governor seemed very conf
dent Of his election says he was very
we'll treated by his Southern friends
had safe exit from Jef's dominion !;
but came near being shipwrecked off
Havana, being able to throw a stone
from the vessel upon the rocks. In
speaking Of the present Morgan raid,
he said it would be impossible for the
Government to enforce the CONSUMPTION
act in the State Of Ohio; that Morgan
had his wires laid to that effect; that
the present raid is only an Introductory
matter; that he will give the States a
second visit in case the law should be
attempted to be enforced. Tie appears
well posted on Southern affairs, and
undoubtedly speaks adviscdly of the
second raid Of Morgan, if he should be
50 fortunate as to escape the vigilance Of
our men.
The wayfaring man would be a fool
who should err in discovering that Val
landigham is in direct completely with
the rebels. 1t is as palpablc as the sun
light-as open as the day. But the plan
50 deeply laid by Morgan and Vallandi
CHAM to light the torch Of civil war in
the North has most signally failed. The
same strong hand which has crushed
the one until he is calling for the rocks
and mountains to fall upon him, will
crush the other, plotting treason beneath
a foreign flag. The brand Of the cow
ard has been placed upon the one by
his own men whom he deserted in the
hour of need. The brand Of traitor will
clcayc to the other to the latest postcrity.
