John Gillis, of Ravenna, member of Bat
terry I, 1st O. V. A., Capt. Dillger, sends us a

says, Lieut.. Clark Scripture was very slightly
wounded. A piece of shell struck his re-
volver, and cut it nearly off, and bruised him
somewhat. We lost nearly all of our horses,
and had one gun disabled. Quite number
of the men were badly bruised, but not
enough to call them wounded. The battery
was in the fight three days. The first day
nearly all the casualties occurred. Our cor

THREE REGIMENTs.-Sheriff Parsons has
apportioned the militiamen of Portage Coun-
ty into three regiments, under the provisions
of the State Militia law The 1st District is
composed of the townships of Aurora Man
tua, Hiram, Nelson, Streetsboro, Shalersville,
Freedom. I'd District, Franklin, Ravenna,
Charlestown, Paris, Brimfeld. Sd District,
Rootstown, Edinburg Palmyra, Sufield,
Randolph, Atwater, Deerfeld. Each regi-
ment is composed of ten companies, there
being thirty within the County. In Wind
ham, the organization of an independent
company SO largely consumed the militiamen
of that township, that the few remaining
have been set off to an adjoining township,
and Windham is not otherwise represented
in the above organization.

The name of Hon. Luther Day, of Raven
ma, is hereby announced as candidate for
nomination before the Union Senatorial Con-
vention, for the District composed of the
Counties of Portage and Summit.
By courtesy, the Senator for the ensuing
term will be selected in Portage County
The position, talents, and ability of Judge
Day-his labors in behalf of the Union and
the country, render him eminently the man
for the position. That the Union men of
this District cannot select one who will more
truly, fearlessly and ably represent their de-
votion to the Union, and desire for the preser-
walton of the Government, is the belief of

BATTLEFIELD OF GETTYSBURG, PA.,l
SUNDAY July 9Th 1863


Another fight, and we were I" in" Eight
cen were killed and wounded in our Regi-
ment.
Lauren Reed, of Co. G. shot through left
shoulder; Adam Woolf, slightly wounded
over right eye; serg't stratton and Jas. Mel
ton, of Co. F, were wounded.
The 4th Virginia Regiment (rebels) surren-
dered to the 7th O. V. L, but there was only
about seventy of them, left to surrender. We
got their flag. " fr'5 -
q The 7th has just been out on reconnoi-
sance. No enemy in sight. The 1st Army
Corps is just moving out to follow them, and
we are ordered to be ready to move at mo-
m ent's warming
Lieut.. Scripture, of Battery I, 1st O. V. A,
was hit by a solid shot, but fortunately his
revolver hanging over his thigh saved him,
but the revolver got badly spoiled, bent near
ly double. He is yet with his battery. 1t is
impossible to give any estimate of our loss,
but it is safe to say the enemy lost four to our
one The citizens come in with their family
carriages, and take away their wounded friends
Some of the Pa. regiments are right at home
and the wounded fare well. This is the first
time that our Regiment ever fought behind
breastworks or Notifications, and all agree that
it is pretty good way to fight. There has
been heavy rain for the last two days-very
heavy last night. The creeks are all unusu-
ally high, and we hope the Potomac is BANB
FULL, so we can get another fight out of the
Rebs this side. No mora time to write now

PATENT HORSE FoRK.-Upon Monday,
Palmer's- Excelsior Horse Power Fork, paten-
ted in Sept, '62, was exhibited to US by Mr..
Parish, agent for this County, whose adver-
tisement appears in another column. This
fork is no doubt admirably adapted to the
purpose. It is difficult to see how it could
be improved With it a load of hay can be
pitched off in five minutes, and can be work
ed by boys as readily as by men. 1t is great
saving of muscle to the haymakers, and just
the thing the farmers need when help is
scarce. Examine this fork.

found rejoicing in every city, town anu village
throughout the loyal States. Meetings have
been held, cannons announced the glory of
the hour, bonfres have been lighted the
skies illuminated with pyrotechnic displays,
in token of the great joy among the people.
AZ Hornellsville, N. Y. guns, bonfres, bells,
the yell of thirty locomotive whistles, illu-
limitations, speeches, and military parade,
marked the occasion. Thus the people re-.
joiced and were exceeding glad.

Degrees coDferred-Benediction.

The efforts of the class of sixty-three,
evinced ability and scholarship. An absence
of allusion to the exciting topics of the day
was pleasingly noticeable. In matter, guam
tity, sentiment, and elocution, there was much
to commend and but little to criticise.
At three p. m. Hon. W. s. Groesbeck, of
Cincinnati, delivered an address to the litera-
ry societies, upon the agreeable and promi-
nent social topic of marriage. This gentle
man is an easy and accomplished speaker.
polished scholar, and an effective orator. He
presented his delicate topic with graceful
humor that rendered the hour entertaining in
the extreme.
Leland's Band, of Cleveland, were present
during the day, and in the evening gave a
Concert, in connection with an Amateur
Quartette Club.
The Commencement Exercises, in all their
features and departments were of marked in
terest and value, and will form pleasant page
in the history of this honored institution.
The degree of L. L. D. was conferred upon
Hon. w. S. Groesbeck, on Thursday.
The degree of Master of Arts was confer
red on E. W. Childs, of the class of 1856 !;
