Convention of Farmers, VI Mechanics and

Convention of Farmers, Mechanics and
LabOrers.
To the Farmers, Mechanics and La
borcrs of Hancock county, Ohio.
1ou are requested to meet in your
respective townships-at the usual
places of holding elections-on Sat
urday, the 14th day Of October, A. d.
1868, and appoint delegates to meet
in County Convention. to he held at
the Court House in Findlay, on Sat
urday, the 1lth day of November, a.
d. 1865, for the purpose of consult
ing rs to the best means of protect
ing the laboring classes of our peo-
pie.
1t is high time the producing class
es should arouse and defend them
selves against the encroachments
made upon them by those who would
be their friends, yet at the same time
purchase their produce at the least
possible price and charge at the same
time, enormous prices for all kinds
of articles of merchandise, sed and
consumed by the laboring class, -
Laboring men hold the balance Of
power in this county, and if properly
and judiciously welded, will result
in much good. not only 10 themselves,
but to all classes of people.
1t is n well known fact, to those
acquainted with the manner Of doing
business. in our cities, and larger
towns and villages, that merchants
regularly meet and consult as to the
best mode and manner of conducting
their business, and regulating prices
of goods so as to result in the great
est profit and gain to the seller; yet,
at the same time, they utterly disre-
gard the rights and pecuniary inter
ests Of the laboring and producing
classes
We ask that all well disposed and
thinking men, and in fact call whom
it may concern" take this matter in
to consideration.
You will therefore meet at the time
and places above designated, discuss
this matter at said local or primary
meetings, and appoint good, honest,
thinking men, to represent you in
e aid County Convention, on the l1th
day of November next.
1t has been dete rmined to allow
each township an equal number of
delegates in said convention, viz:
three.
Turn out and give this matter
timely consideration.

Fishing.

Fishing.
A few days since, Capt. Wilson, b
+. Kimmons and several others of
our citizens took trip to the Mau.
NEE on fishing excursion They
took with them tents and cooking
utensils, camped out and had good
time. They were very successful,
and brought home a large lot OF nice
fish.
1t is very pleasant to take such a
trip. but if the law regulating dams
should be enforced, we could have as
many fish as we could wish, in our
own river. There is a State law pro
viding that all dams shall be aproned,
thus atf'ording fish chance to run up
stream during spawning time. This
should be attended to, and dam own
ers required to fulfill the law.
Let lovers Of this sport organize a
society with view to the improve
ment OF the fishing in the Blanchard.

County Printing.

county Frinting.
The editor of the Courier says we
charge him with charging treble
for county printing what is charged
in other counties. He does not de-
ny it, but attempts to cover up his
sir by ascribing to us similar dis
honest charging. We did over
charge, but it occurred in this wise 4:
The person who did the charging
had just come into the office and was
not entirely posted as to our rates OF
advertising. The bill was made out
in good faith, presented to the Coun-
ty Treasurer and the money received
on it. Shortly after, the Commits
sioners met, examined the bill and
thought it too large. Mr.. Cooper of
that Board called our attention to
the matter, and we examined the ad
vertisement and found several
squares too many charged We ex-
planned how it was and Mr.. c. said
he was satisfied that the overcharge
was unintcntional. The money has
been refunded.
Will, we have explained. Can
you be equally successful in explain.
ing away some five hundred dollars ?
Do try it.
Then, how does it come that after
receiving over FOURTEEN HUNDRED
DOLLARS for county printing you
paid no Income Tax last year?

Lives Lost.
The Boston Courier says

The Boston Courier says:
Two children belonging to Mr.. John
B Nichols, Of Haverhill and the servant
girl living in the family. had a very re.
4 markable escape from suffocation on Mon
day evening, December Goth. Mr.. and
Mrs. Nichols left the famils in the early
! part Of the evening, to attend the silver
! wedding OF a friend, resident several miles
l distant. They intended to remain until
a rather late hour, and gave directions to
1 the children TO retire at the usual time
They, however, subsequently gave con-
sent that they might remain up and await
\ their return. At about half past nine
!. O'Clock the parents felt an irresistible de-
! sire to return home, and accordingly start
ed at once. Upon reaching the dwelling
they got no response to their endeavors
! to enter the ringing of the bell was net
promptly answered. By STOPPING they
+, were enabled to look in through a crevice
in the window by the curtain, and they
saw the servant girl making attempts to
reach the door, but prevented by con
! slant falling. The little girl was also
! PROSTATE upon the floor, and the others
appeared asleep upon Ike sofa. After a
short time they succeeded in getting back
the door belt the servant and eldest girl
\ falling helpless BY the door, prevented
\ them from entering for some time.
The odor of coal gas in the room and
4 throughout the house explained the cause
! of the frightful condition of things. 1,
4 required long time TO bring about com.
q plete recovery. 1t was attended by sc.
4 we're pain and vomiting, and it is certain
4 that if the return Of the parents had been
l delayed few minutes longer, the death
9 of the three persons must have ensued.-
4 The gas proceeded from coal stove il
the raom, the damper Of which in some
way became disarranged, and the product.
of combustion were turned from prone,
channel. What makes this circumstance
quite remarkable is the fact that The hous,
in which it occurred is the very one il
Mr.. aud Mrs. William Sawyer lost thci
lives, by gas suffocation, four years since
1t will be remembered that Mr.. and Mrs
SAWYER were found dead in their beds an
parently in the position in which the,
closed their eyes in sleep.
Mr.. S. was long connected with tn
Boston and Marine railroad, and was ex
.tensively known. The sad event create,
much excitement at the time. A kim
