Attempt 10 Murder the Wels-
Hf3Theimer Family, T q ~
Over sI,IOo Reward ORsrsd BY the CIT
liens OF Clearcrssk.

The account Of The attempted mur-
der Of the Welsheimer family given by
the Circleville Union cmbodies all the
facts we have learned and wo thcrc.
fore adopt it. Below is list Of sub
scriptions amounting to Sl,l7l, which
sum is offered for the detection of the
criminal. The spirit Of the signers is
worthy of all commendation, and We
hope will soon secure the services of a
skilIful detective who will ferret out
the assassin. F
Nearly every paper we pick up con
.tains an account of some horrible mur-
der, and il. seems we are to have the
same inthis county. The increase Of
crime is appalling. The whole coun.
try seems to bo infested with thieves,
robbers and murderers. 1t is high
time for all good people to combine in
efforts to detect and punish crime.
We, the undersigned, do hereby
promise to pay the sums annexed tC
our names, to any man or men tha
will ferret out and convict tho person
who did, on the night Of the 7th of De
ccmber, 1865, attempt tho murder 0

We have several times found occ..
sion 10 urge upon the attention Of our
readers the fact, that the subdivision
Of cultivated land into farms of mod.
crate proportions tends TO increase the
value Of the land itself. The Coinmis.
sioner Of Agriculture, in his recent re.
port, confirms tho truth Of this opin.
ion, even IN our own country, and
proves it incontestibIity by the statis'
tics collected by the Department IN.
der his superyision The average size
Of the farms in the most prosperous OF
the Now England States, is only 96
acresiwhile thearerag 70 rises to over 300
acres in North Carolina, Virginia, Ala.
bama AID Mississippi exceeding 4OO
in Georgia and South Carolina, the
average in the latter State reaching as
high as 483 and in Louisiana rising 10
the immense extent Of 536 for each in.
vidual land owei, Tho Commissioner
also says that as genefsh fact tho
value Of the land per acre in the scrc-
raj States mentioned is in inverse pro.
portion to the size Of the farms ~.
In those fortunate districts where q
skilful and enlightened system Of till.
age raises the. soil to a condition Of
productiveness in which leach rood Of
land maintains it's man." it is hard to
realize the existence Of an impovcrish,
ed proprietor whose mcagre crops,
sprawling over long miles Of domain,
but render him the poorer for every
acre, while each field is but an add.
tional item in the huge burden Of his

-Four bells for St. Mary IS Church ar
rived last week, weighing respectively
$50, $50, l6OOand 1900 pounds. They
were placed temporarily in the vesti
bule of the Church and were rung on
Sunday morning. They were cast at
St. Louis and boar the inscription,
"Donatcd by St. Joseph's Society TO
St. Marys Church, Lancaster, Ohio"
They constitute, we understand, what
is called q "Peal'' of bells instead of a
"Cbimc," seven bells being required
for the latter. Whom elevated to their
position inatho belfry, they viii add
greatly to the bell music of the city.
