Willie was bright. eyed pleasant little

his absence from the loved circle will be
seusibly felt and deeply deplored. But
he has gone in the spring time Of life to

of issuing whisky rations to the army was dis

Insurance Agent.
L. C. WEBSTER.

We are happy to inform the citizens
of Wyanddt county, that our esteemed
townsman. George Meyers, has received
the appointment of Agent for the Dayton
Fire Insurance Company, the very name
of which institution is sufficient guaran-
tee for the correctness of Its business
transactions, and the prompt settlement
of all claims that may accrue against it.
The Squire also holds the Agency Of a
frst-class Life and Travellers Insurance
Company. The business and advantage
of Insurance is now becoming generally
comprehended by the masses, and all
reflective persons whose families rely for
their support upon salaries, dependent
upon their continued life and exertions,
are now providently taking advantage Of
the means thus placed within their reach,
to secure their loved ones against the
miseries Of future want. AS friend Ny
ers in an eminent degree possesses the
confidence of the public, and is withal a
favorite Conveyancer, we hazard little in
saying that these additional duties will
insure against his luxuriating much on
idle bread from this time forth. But his
ready hand and willing heart, we doubt
not, will enable him cheerfully to meet
the demands Of his numerous friends,

[For the Pioneer.l
How Old Jones came near chawing Sam
Watson up.
BYTHoNa.

Being somewhat tired of study, laid aside
my books, and, while rejecting on the various
scenes which occurred while in the West, by
chance a little incident presented itself to my
mind, which has caused me many merry
laugh, as well as those to whom have related
it. 1t happened in the State of Missouri, and
was about in substance as follows:
An old farmer, by the name Of Jones, and,
by the bye, Justice Of the Peace, had very
beautiful daughter by the name Of Betsy. She
was considered the belle of the whole country,
and, the old gentleman being rather wealthy,
Betsy of course had any amount of suitors. ID
The old man lived in rather shabby log
cabin, however, it having only clapboard
loft, and windows without sash. He was the
father of some six or seven children, Betsy being
the eldest lass of about seventeen. Parties
were very frequent, and Betsy, of course, always
led off; and lucky was the youth who could
obtain her for partner, AS all girls about
that age, Betsy was very fond of beaux; and as
she had preference among her many admirers,
Sam Watson, the minister's son, happened to
be the happy youth who had made sad havoc
on Betsy's heart, to the great CONSERVATION of
all the gents in the vicinity. The old man was
somewhat down on Sam, but, as he did not
think Betsy had any notion of marrying. he
concluded to let her firt with Sam until he dis
covered some signs of too much greatness, when
he would scatter Sam, like hay seed in whirl
wind.
The old fellow was rather crusty, very rough
in his language, so that the number was very
few who cared about stirring the old mans ire
Sam was one of the number.
1t was in the spring of the year, and as cows
IN that country generally go dry through the
winter, milk was not overly plenty; and, on
his account, the snowy fluid came near being
Sans destruction. A party was coming off at
. mans house by the name of Rice. Sam went
over to the old 'Squires to ask Betsy. The old
rent was not in the house. Sam made his er-
and known, and, of course, Betsy accepted,
