JOHN GREINER.-Some weeks since
this veteran of tho quill-.once the witty
poet laureate of the old Whig party,
afterwards Governor of New Mexico,
local editor of tho Ohio State Journal,
and editor Of the Columbus Gazette and
withal familiar character to the older
citizens Of Washington county, took
charge Of the GAINESVILLE City Times.
We did not see his salutatory at the
time, but find tho following extract
from it in an exchange. 1t will be
seen that the veteran traveller is keenly
alive to the advantages of the Mus.
kingum Valley; Marietta Neps.
"Aiter an absence of twenty.one
years from tho greeD hills, and tho
beautiful valley Of Old Muskingum,
we return once moro TO eur favorito
City of GAINESVILLE to settle down
among the people as u staid and quiet
citizen, 1t is an old saying, and ev.
cry day tests its truthfulness, "that he
who drinks once of tho waters OF the
blue Muskingum, will never in other
lands rest satisfied until he returns To
dwell upon its borders;" and truly
have we found it to be so in our OK,
porenco, Alter years Of travel, over
vast tracts of country, across tho great
Pacific, in tho Wilderness and over
the Rocky Mountaias,, we have come
20 tho grave conclusion that there is
no place under heaven, certainly
none that has ever come under our OBJ
servation-that combines so many ad.
vantages to make great and growing
population happy, as tho State of Ohio;
no where in Ohio superior to the beau.

in .he valley of the Muskingum that
could bo made more pleasant than
among the good people Of GAINESVILLE"
