Genius has been proyerbially unfortunate
in all ages, but l did hope that the time had
passed when the world would be ready to cry
out, "Down with him." whenever a philan-
thropist or a philosopher struck out some
thing new for the benefit Of mankind. I was
mistaken, my boy; l was, indeed! You re-
member how the distinguished Senator from
South Carolina, a few years since, conceived
the brilliant idea OF feeding his field hands on
cotton seed. II the experiment could be
made to succeed, the cost Of producing cotton
would be reduced thirty per cent. at once,

Further Proceedings In the
Bowers ''SkedaddIe'' Case.

We gave an account in Il issue of last
week Of the proceedings up to that time
of the Bowers "skedaddle" case. 1t APP
pears that Bowers, who resides in Cana
da, was very much displeased with the
action of Probate Judge Yeomans, and
waxing wroth, declared that he would
even sacrifice his farm in Canada, but
that lie would have satisfaction from his
wicked traducers. He thereupon pro-
cured a warrant from Justice Webb. OF
Warren, but for some unknown reason
failed to have it served, but instead went
again to that Copperhead den, LOrdstown,
and before that remarkably eminent JUS
tice, Harshman, and made affidavit TO
the same as he made before Justice
Webb. Harshman issued the warrant,
which was served by Sam. Kistler and
his Yalorous posse. The case was up for
hearing on the Both ult., but the counsel
for the State moved an adjournment until
one O'Clock, P. NJ, Saturday, the first
inst, which was granted. On the day
last mentioned, Messrs. Day and White,
accompanied by their counsel and wit
nesses, appeared at Lordstown, and found
the greater part Of the disloyal element
of the population up and in arms. Many
valiant C%opperheads who shrunk in ter
ror from the draft, and sought all kinds
of holes snd hiding places in which to
hide their diminished heads, now ap-
peared, big with yalor, DFaudishing canes
and bludgeons, displaying bowie knives
and pistols, and otherwise making asses
of themselves.
Ulon opening the Court, the State of
Ohio, resolving itself into the form and
shape of Bowers, presented itself upon
the witness stand. He swore that he Wis
tied Canada Tor the first time in Deem
Der, 1864, for the purpose of finding a
place-that he found the place, and re-
turning to Mesopotamia, made the neees-
sary preparations 10 60 there TO live
Sold off his stock and farming utensils
boxed up his furniture, with the excep-
/ ton Of one bed and & little crockePy, and
stored them in a couple of rooms in the
house, and, with his wife, left the coun-
try, flor the country's good.l Returned
in March, 1865, and again in November,
but not for the purpose of residing here.
He found the Canadian soil very nice,
and the governm Q Mt as good as the gov
eminent of the United States. Thereup'
on the State rested.
The defendant proposed to prove by
plh7s own declarations that he went away
to avoid the draft, but the wise and sa(r}
pient Justice ruled 1t out as being sim
material" At this the defendants coun
sci became disguised and declined to in.
troduce any evidence. Messrs. Day and
White were then bound OYer under one
thousand dollars bond to appear at the
next term of the Court of Common
Pleas. Birchard, Moses and Burnett az.

Hig hWay Robbery.
FREER'S CORNERS

AS Mr.. VIM. Workman, of Bristol, was
returning from town to his home, on
Tuesday evening of last week, he was ac-
costed by two men, who came out of the
woods, with a demand for his money, the
demand being urged with a cooked pistol
presented to the breast of Mr.. Workman,
who was taken too much by surprise to be
able to even say a word, much less oppose
the williams, one of whom searched Mr..
WIS pockets, taking therefrom about $50
in money and a watch. The outrage took
place about a mile north of the east and
west centre road of Champion, on the
road running past the Pearce and
Fenstermaker places. 1t is thought from
the description of the robbers that they
are the same persons who enter
ed Mr.. McLane's house, in Champion, a
few Sabbsths since, and took out SIl0.
1t is time that citizens should combine
together to keep watch for these reckless
robbers, whose depredations are daily
growing holder, and be prerared to resist
their ~outrages. 1t is hardly safe for a
person t. travel alone in some sections
at least if not prepared for self defence

Assault.

Last Saturday evening, about half past
nine, as Mr.. E. K. Patch was walking up
Main Street from the Mahoning rail road
depot, while crossing Franklin alley, a
man suddenly stepped out of the alley
and struck him a severe blow on the right
cheek, bruisingi it somewhat and discol-
oring the eye. Mr.. Patch Immediately
went for the fellow, and caused him tc
retreat up the alley as fastas his legs could
carry him. 1t was afterwards discovered
that the person who made the assault was
an Irish pedlar, by the name of Kelley
who has since left town, and who was an
entire stranger to Mr.. Patch. No motive
can be assigned for the act.

Gas Story.

A lady from the country visited this
place the past season, and when retiring
for the night, was shown to a chamber
lighted with gas. Not being familiar
with the manner of turning off the light,
she supposed it was only necessary to ex-
tinguish it as she would a lighted candle.
Of course the room was soon filed with a
very offensive odor, but the weather be-
ing warm, her chamber window was for
tunately open. The escaping gas soon
pervaded other parts of the house, and
search was instituted TO learn where the
trouble was. Upon going to the room in
question, the occupant was asked if she
had been affected by the disagreeable
smell2 Still ignorant as to the real
cause, she replied that she had smelled
something dreadful, and thought War
rem was the greatest place for skunks she
had ever been in.

"A young man named Fenstermaker,

couple of men in the woods, who inform

him, and after being searched he was al
lowed to depart in peace.
We learn that the announcement in
our last paper, that Rev. George Pierce
had accepted the call of the Baptist
Church in this place, was premature, no
answer having 1t hat time been received
But it is very probable that he will
accept, and commence his labors imme-
diately. In this connection we append,
from the Manchester Daily Mirror and
American, an article very complimentary
of Mr.. Pierce:
REV. GEORGE PIERCE, who lately re
the position of pastor of the Bap-
fist Church, on Manchester street, this
city, received a letter last Saturday even
ing, inviting him TO become the pastor of
the Baptist Church in Warren, Ohio,

city TO have such a man as Mr.. Pierce
leave. 4 pleasing writer and speaker,
practical and sensible in his ideas, taking
a lively interest in every good word and

EDITOR CHRONICLE The state of How
land, which, from time immemorial, has
been deplorably remiss in educationalen
terprise, has this fall, with a common i'm
pulse, instituted three select or extra
schools within her limits. Able and eff
Gent teachers were procured, and the
whole thing has resulted in a complete
success, and reflects equal credit upon
both teachers and pupils. 1t gives great
encouragement and satisfaction to the
patrons.
This laudable enterpriseif persisted in,
will be of untold benefit to the rising
generation. 1t is hoped that in the fu-
ture it will not be suffered to die out by
negligence. D.
