THE American saws. Mr.. Theophilus
Packard. of Granville, called at our Office
4 few days ago Mr.. Packard belongs to +
a family rather remarkable for health and t
longevity He is Y years old and the
Youngest Of a family Of four, which has .
never been diminished by death The
family consists of three brothers and
sister. The eldest brother Is g, the sec (
ond IS, and the sister IS; IN the aggre- I
gate 317 years and all enjoying hale /
and kssrty old age The habits OF these
men have always been regular aud TEN
Derate, and they have always been early
risers scarcely ever being IN bed after 3
IN the morning.
The same paper says - On Tuesday of
this week, the Presbytery dissolved the
relation between Rev. r. A. Sawyer aud
the Second Presbyterian Church, IN this
city. We understand Mr.. Sawyer has re-
ceived propositions from other churches
which he is disposed to entertain And
though reluctant to sever the pleasant re
lations existing between himself and the
church he leaves, be felt that the way
was made plain, by the opportunity to do
more on larger field. The second
church, both by its financial ability and
social position, viii be able to command
first class man TO fill its pulpit
Morrow COUNTY.-We are informed,
SAYS the Mt Gilead Senfisei that our en-
terprising fellow citizen. r. JOHNSON
HOUSE, has perfected the arrangements for
the building of another Brick Block, 66
feet square. in Mt. Gilead, next spring.
It will be erected on the corner Of Marion
aud Court Streets, aud viii be two stories
high.
We learn that the School House near
the residence of Ross Matter in Gilead
tp., was totally destroyed by fire on Thurs
day evening OF last week We have not
learned how the fire originated
KNOX CoUNTY.-The Republican,,
gives a list of the names of gentlemen
composing the township committees to
obtain subscriptions to the fund for the
erection of monument to the memory Of
the fallen braves of that county. The
names are rapidly going down and the
monument is bound to go up.
Brother BAsCOM, Of the Republican, is
a sensible gentleman. Speaking of the re-
moval of a citizen of that place to Della
ware, where he purposes going into bus
mess, he says: We commend him to the
favorable notice and patronage of the
people of that city" This Is a decided
improvement on the style of expression
adopted by his predecessor, who few
years since, in announcing the removal OF
a couple of citizens from that place to
Delaware, said they had concluded Ito
leave our city to take up their residence
In the Utlla0e of Delaware. The present
Editor is better posted, and uses both
proper and Ineligible language In max
ing announcements of the kind referred
to- This is highly commendable, as the
numerous removals from that place to ours
give frequent occasion for the appearance
of such paragraphs.
The Republican says: Rev. Mr.. Strong
has brought suit against Mr.. French, the
druggist, for his mistake In sending strych-
nine for other medicine by which the
daughter Of Mr.. Strong was poisoned.
w. II. Smith ESQ. has been employed to
bring the suit. Mr.. French has explained
how the mistake occurred, in the Eplsco-
palian. In busting the shelves the clerk
had moved and changed the vessels con
tanning the medicines. 1t was sad affair.
MARION COUNTY-Our Marion neigh
bors are exercised over furious quarrel
among some Of the prominent leaders of
the Democratic party, resulting IN as
sault by the Editor Of the Mirror upon
Capt. Sehofeld, which has given rise to a
fierce personal controversy in the news
papers, in which number of persons are
engaged.

UNION CoUNrY-The Tribune felici-
tates itself and eOngratulates its readers
on the rapid improvement of the county
seat, and says Citizens of Union coun-
ty can now speak of Marysville with some
degree of pride. The late improvements
in buildings, some of which surpass any
in Springfield, or Delaware in fact one
must go to the large cities to find better
or more commodiOus store rooms or Pub
lie Hall The Union School building
excels in all particulars any in this part
of the State. The school will rank among
the best for educational advantages
The merchants are not behind. and are
selling all kinds of goods at as low prices
as in Columbus, Delaware and Spring
field
Recently the ladies of the village Of
Newton, organized raid upon pestifer-
GUS doggery kept by one Marshal, and
poured $500 worth of whisky into the
street. Marshal appeared on the scene
with an axe and expressed intention of
chopping some Of the fair warriors to
peices; but a few resOlute girls seized and
disarmed him, and the work went on.
