sOidiers' Families Relief Society VS..
Citizens Of Perrysburg and Vicinity.

Tais suit opened on Tuesday, the eth inst, and
closed on the lSth-the ladies being triumphant;
having gained their cause, and recovered over
one hundred dollars damages, for the 5. F. r.
Society.
The Court Room was crowded, and witnessed
some divesting and entertaining scenes hitherto
known in legal jurisdiction. The Reviewer infliets
the following criticism on what he saw and heard;
Was a witness; got there late, and consequently
got good chance to stand up, where, from his
dark perch, amid the applauding throng, with
straiOing eyes, he beheld that Grand Tableaux,
(never before seen), "The light ofother days
su unsuspectng locker on, declared il was nothing
but toilOV eaaeis' Wen all remember hat candl
"Thereis Sigh in the H,art;" also "Uniou,
God and Liberty" won the unanimous apprOba-
ton OF the audience. The "Courting Scene" was
a laughable sight-the courier and cvurted keep
ing their faces amid assailing volleys Of laughter
The Reviewer cannot say as 10 "Jim's" being a
nsr,ee in that Tableaux. "Zula Zong," was alone
worth tho witness fee, and tho "BachlOr'' drew
largely on the sympathiSs of the ladies'. The mar
Bile appearance Of the "Statuary," LETT no clue Of
life discernablc to the SPECTATORS. The "Sol-
diers' Christmas Box" presented an oasis in the
soldiers life, which none more appreciated than
the "blue coats.
The scenes from "Dluebeard," suddenly intro
duced new and thrilling vein of sentiment, and
gave well-timed variety to the occasion-Baron
Trcnck, Munchausen, or "Rob Roy" form no par
sllvl--it was well worth seeing. The "Darkey,"
standing with chained hands between the rebel
and National banners, showed him to be very prop
ly indicated "Tke Bone of Contention" The music,
sentiment, and execution of "Tn the Starlight"
rendered it beautiful, and one of the favorites Of
both evenings. "Grandmothers Song" and
"Sour Grapes" were spicy and stirred the goddess
of mirth to the foundation.
The humble tribute Of the Reviewer can con-
vey no adequate measure of commendaton to the
members Of the Society, for their energetic and
unceasing efforts in this behalf. The work per-
formed, and the worn-out appearance Of many Of
those who took principal part, are evidences of
their earnestness in this commendable cause.
Go on ladies', you are doing brayely: We shall
be glad to hear Of like movements in different
parts ofthe county. REVIEWER.

Every dose makes the blood purcr. The nerves

impurities are deposited in tho veins, aud they
throw Off such collections into the bowels, which
organs, by the energy derived from Brandreth's
Pills, expsl them from the system. Whea first

God and our fathers designed it--a land
OF human freedom.
From The commcncemcnt of this great
contest the State of Ohio has occupied no
doubtful or hesihting position. Our peo-
pie have assumed their hurlhens with alac.
rity and borne them with fortitude so ev.
cry call that has been made upon them;
and without passing the bounds of becom-
ing modosty, they may point with emo.
tions OF pride TO tho record whioA her
sons have mado for the State in the council
aud in the field. Ohio officers have com.
manded with distinction aud honor in near
ly every department of the service; ard
Ohio soldiers have battled with exalted
courage aud patriotism upon nearly every
fold of the war, and marched over portions
of every State that tho reasonable lcadeis
took into rebellion. At all times. and at
all places, they have nobly done their duty; 4;
achieving for themselves. aud rejecting
upon their State tho highest honor. True,
thoro have been grevious sacrifices; there
has been mourning at many hearthstOrse; I;
and we have ofteu been called upon to
pause in our exutation over ths noble con,
duct Of our living heroes. to lament our he.
roos dead;--but even tho eye bedimmed
with tears has caught glance of tho iu.

ISOLATION in the assurance that all those sac.

freedom, and tho coming greatness a. i
glory of our country. The commandment
OF the people is TO you and to me, in our
allotted spheres, to move onward to the
accomplishment of this great end; and to
contribute all ability and usefulness we
possess to the consummation Of that grand
triumph in which not only ourselves, but
the friends of free government throughout:

How TO Get Information of Sick or

Wounded Soldiers.
| Ed. JOURNAL: Army officers are very frequent
ly solicited to give information to friends at home
of sick or wounded friends in the army. This in
formation is seldom to be obtained by an army
officer, even where the sick or wounded man be-
longs to his own Complny or Regiment, and it on
y wastes time, and tries the patience of both par
ties, for friends at home to write to officers such
business.
Friends at home can invariably obtain correct
information Of their sick. or wounded, or captured
relatives by Addressing in the Western army
"Agent Sanitary Commission" Cincinnati, Louis
vile, Nashville, Memphis, st. Louis, or at what
ever point the soldier was serving When disabled.
