-Artemus Werd s Lecturc.

The renowned ex-showman spoke a
piece" at Webb's Hall, on Monday eve
ming last, to a large, intelligent and APP
preciating audience. To say that his eE
fort was an entire success, is but to re-
peat the unanimous verdict of those
present. His style, in matter and man.
ner, is so peculiar to himself as to be in
imitable, and is emphatically rich, rare
and racy. Mr.. Brown is yet a young
man., but has earned a reputation in the
line of his specially, as wide as the con-
tinent. Napoleon is said to have held it
as a rule that " success was an evidence
of merit" Judged by this standard, Mr..
Brown has been as strongly endorsed by
the popular sentiment as any writer or
speaker of the age.
We trust he may find plenty of appre-
ciating friends and genuine g~reenbacks
wherever he goes.

Township and Borough Election.

ana BiecJlOD.
There was, perhaps, a larger vote poll.
ed in this township on Monday last, than
W before at a spring election. The
total vote polled in the township was
642, only about 30less than at the cleo
ton last fall. The Union ticket was
elected by an average majority of about
I3I.
The vote polled in the Borough was
423, the Union ticket receiving SO ma jor-
ity. Boasts were made by the Democrats
that they would elect their Borough if
not their Township ticket, and every eff
fort was made to accomplish that end,
but all honor to UnioaSmen, they were
not to be caught mapping, and the result
proved not only-their ability, bYttbeir
willingness toturn out in sufficient mum
bers to triumphantly elect their ticket
Having accomplished their object, we
trust they will not relapse into apathy
until another election, but remember
that their opponents are always at work,
and that it behooves them to keep up
their organizations, and continue their
efforts until the fall crop of ~butternuts is
also taken care of.

Union League.

OElOH
Pursuant to adjournment, the Unior
League of Warren, convened at Webb's
Hall on Friday evening. April 3rd 1862
The candidate for Assessor, nominated
at a previous meeting, having declined.
a new nomination was proposed. On mo
ton the Chair appointed a Committee
consisting of Azor Abel, Leonard Bur
ton and Albert VanGorder to present
suitable candidates.
During the absence of said committee,
Col. Asper was called upon and respond
ed in a brief and happy manner.
The speaker announced for the even.
ing, Judge Sutlif, then addressed the
League. His remarks were sound, logi-
Il and eminently conservative, and were
well received by the large and apprecia-
tive audience in attendance.
At the close of Judge Sutliffs remarks
S. NJ. Carter was nominated as candidate
for Assessor.
Hon. John Hutchins announced that
at the next meeting of the League an
address might be expected from E. S.
Budd, formerly Justice of the Peace in
Brookfeld, and lately a resident of Mis-
souri,. From Mr.. Budd's experience
among the Border Rufians and Secesh,
an interesting address may be expected.

Portage County Matters

The Ravenna Democrat has the follow.
ing:
The Steam Saw Mill belonging to Ian.
sing Kellogg, in the northwest part Of
the township, was burned on Saturday
morning last. The fire was discovered
about 4 A. NJ, at which time the roof
was falling in. Considerable lumber was
burned. Loss. $1,000.
Ravenna has not tenements enough to
rent to accommodate the families seek
ing residence here-consequently some,
who would locate here, are obliged to
seek houses elsewhere. This is unfortu-
nate. Some have expressed the opinion
that Ravenna would add one-third to its
population in the next six months, if
there were tenements to rent sufficient
to suDply the demand.

Legislative Proceedings.

In Senate, on Wednesday, Mr.. Sprague
introduced a bill to provide for the pre-
sentation of Medals of Honor to the en-.
listed men of the army and volunteer
forces of the State, who nave distinguish.
ed, or who may distinguished themselves
in battle during the present rebellion.
Mr.. Gunckel, from the Committee on
Judiciary, reported in regard to sundry
petitions, asking the passage of a law to
prevent deserters from voting, that II
would probably be unconstitutional, and
asked to be dismissed from the further
consideration of the subject, which was
agreed to.
The House bill. making partial appro-
priations for the Penitentiary and Benev-
olsnt Institutions, was passed without
amendment.
The Senate confirmed the appointment
of DIR. James Scott, of Warren county, as
Director of the Southern Lunatic Asylum,
and T. L. Hewitt, the present incumbent,
Clerk of the Penitentiary.
An effort was made by Mr.. Fink to take
from the table his resolution providing for
submitting to the electors of the State an
amendment of the Constitution, requiring
the next General Assembly, after its adop-
tlOnB ~ ClidCI u law W pIOhlOiI III lLIluil-
grafton of black persons into State.
The motion failed, and this question is
probably disposed of for the present ses-
sion.
In the House, the resolution t" prevent
the circulation of foreign bank notes in
the State, was lost on its passage-yeas 80,
nays 80.
The following bills were passed:
Mr.. Cooks House bill, increasing the
levy that may be made for local school
tax, except in cities of the first class, to
four mills, provided the people vote to
this effect.
House bill, to prevent illegal arrests
in this State.
House bill, to transfer the election of
Fire Engineer, in Cleveland. from the
people to the City Council.
Senate bill, to provide for taking the
enumeration of the male inhabitants
above the age of twenty-one years.
House bill, to authorize insurance COM
panies to increase the number of Dirsc-
tors.
Senate bill, to require boards of ap-
praisers and assessors of railroad property
to report to the Auditor of State in June
of each year, instead of May, with sundry
amendments.

Union Meeting at Johnston.

AT a meeting of the Union Republi
cans Of Johnston, held on the LIST of AID
ril, the following resolutions were presen
ted and adopted
WHEREAS, in view of the present deplora
bic condition of our county, it become,
necessary for ali truly loyal men tc
Gus and in lawful measures to unite
as n man and repel the vile and in
famous ISLANDERS sought TO be heaped
on the Government by the leaders Of
the so-called Democratic party. We
have heard with shame and horror the
false and contemplate epithets cast
upon the Government, and soldiers in
the fieldhonestly e~ndeavoring to restore
the Union in every way possible and
consistent with the honor of a great
nation. We are grieved to see men in
our very midst denouncing every act
of the Executive as imbecile, and acts
of Congress as unconstitutional open
ly declaring they will furnish no more
men or money for the prosecution of
the war, thereby permitting rebellion
to 60 unpublished, and,
WHEREAS, the President has seen the ne
cessity of proclaiming martial law to
protect loyal citizens from the violence
of traitors the opposition have seized
upon this act as the great crime against
the Constitution, calculated to brighten
the timid and mislead the ignorant
They insult and outrage the feelings of
the civalized world 10y clamoring for
compromise with traitors in arms
Their acts induce to believe they are
rebels in disguise, and would lead the
innocent and unsuspecting into most
and much more, we, as loyal citizens,
execrate and detest the principles and
acts of such men as destructive to the
best interests of our common country,
Therefore,
ResoLced, That we warn all citizens
against the obstruction of the execution
of the laws, regarding all combinations
with the design to counteract the action
of the constituted authorities as destruc-
tive of the fundamental principles and of
fatal tendency.
>. That while our fathers, brothers and
friends are sacrificing their comfort,
health and lives, battling for freedom, in
opposition to slavery and secession, we, as
.oyal citizens, will support them as best
We can. That we will endeavor to un-
mask and dismount every battery in
heir rear, within our reach that we will
not vote for any man for any Office within
our gift, who is not by practice and prin-
,iple a sound Union man and a supporter
IF the Government.
3. That having full confidence in the
President and his Cabinet, we will sup
port all war measures recommended by
him for the overthrow of this unjust and
.niquitous rebellion, believing that by so
Icing we shall secure to our country and
lation a full, honorable and lasting
,eace, based on the principles of free
Iom.

Maple Sugar.

A sample of Maple Sugar was brought
to u Office by Wyatt Mckay, ESQ.,, of
Brookfeld, which is much the whitest,
c~learest and best we have ever seen. and
it is equal to the best coffee sugar. Mr..
NJ. says the credit of its manufacture is
all due to Mrs. Mckay. who superintend
ed it.
The sap was caught in patent pals,
which had been scalded and were per-
fectly clean, and it was boiled in a pan
which never rusts and does not color the
sap, and the syrup was clearsed with
milk and eggs.
