OUR NEIGHBORs.

MORROW CoUNTY.-We copy from the
Mt Gilead Sentinel the following items:
Dsfacing hand-bills has grown to such
an extent that il is almost impossible TO
keep an advertisement posted two days
1T is an offence punishable with a good
round fine, and some person would con-
fer a public benefit by arresdng some OF
the Young scamps engaged in it, and COM
pelling parents to pay forty or hfty dollars
for the amusement Of their hOpefuls-
The heavy rains and frequent showers
since the issue of our last number have
proved, to some extent, disastrous to the
erops Oats are beaten to the ground, IN
suring increased labor of harvesting and
waste of portion of the crop Grass
uncut in low situations, is badly damaged
bv the freshet, and winter wheat IS growing
some in the shock.
There is a large breadth of potatoes
growing in this county and looking 1neIyi
but it is unpleasant TO notice thatthe bugs,
those striped bIisterers, are marshalinE
their forces upon them quite numerOusly.
The late heavy rains and blistering sun
have, we are told, done the grape crop OF
this county much harm.
FRANKLIN COUNTY.-We select the fol-
lowing items from the last number of the
Columbus Gazette:
The residence of R. B. Lawrence, Agent
of the American Express Company, 81
East Rich street, was entered by a burglar
MODuaV nlZnE, through an open " III
dow, who relieved Mr.. L. of his pocket
book and all the loose change that could
be found, and departed, but not without
waking Mr.. l., though not in time to ar
rest the thief. The same evening the res
idence of Mr.. F. Michel, on Friend street.
was entered, and his pocket book and $50
taken from his pantalOOns pocket. Ihls
robbery was undoubtedly committed by
the same person that robbed Mr. Lawrence.
The Society of Dominican Sisters, by
rrrh0uo tho ST Marv'G Academy at SOmer-
set was conducted, and which was recently
DESTROYED by fire, have accepted the offer
of Mr.. Theodore Leonard OF SlO'OO0' land.
building material, &c, for the erection of
an Academy near this city, and the ac-
ceptance has been approved by Arch bishop
Purcell. The location of the Academy
will be east of the city, upon the grounds
of Mr.. Leonard, thus donated The
buildings will soon be IN process OF con-
struction.
A soldier, partially deaf, one of the in
mates of the Soldiers Home, who was
walking on the railroad track near that
institution, on Saturday morning, was run
over by the Cincinnati Express train and
instantly killed
The traffic in the Iuxuries of the season,
Judging from the quantity that is brought
to our market, must be immense. A visit
to the market on market mornings will
convince most any one that the time for
starving is yet far of.
Eight hundred and twenty-nine emf
grants passed through columbus 4dSb
week, 3I6 of whom proposed 20 settle in
this State.
LICKING CoUNTY.-We find the following
in the Newark american:
A Boston Drummer, named VIM. H.
Hardwicke, received a castigatiOn at the
hands of one Of our citizens Monday
evening. 1t seems that he had been in the
habit of walking the streets in the even
ing and speaking to ladies with whom he
tod HnrrH rnlrEnmn ff
one lady several times and repeated it on
the evening mentioned. Her stalwart
husband, on learning the fact, followed
him into the American House, and gave
the fellow thrashing which he will prob
ably remember for some time. The affair
created considerable excitement. The
Boston man left town next day.
We had a very heavy rain and thunder
evening. The hail smashed the glass to a
considerable extent in some parts of town.
KNOX CoUNrY-The Mt. Vernon Repu5-
GcIB says; The wool market is quiet just
now, and but little is doing. Since the
pOstponement of the tariff, purchasers are
becoming scarce, and prices are stationary.
Ohio wool is selling in Boston at from 55
to IS cents per pound Choice lots at 20
cents
Butter is plenty at 20 cents per pound
other articles of marketing about the same
as last week.
MADISON COUNTY.-The London Union
says: We clip the following from the
Cincinnati Commercial of Monday, with |
out having any further Information to
give, not being able to learn from careful |
inquiry whether the statement here made /
Mrs -Iassa- Wilson, Of Mt. Sterling, Ohio, /
met with horrible death last Wednesday, |
under the following circumstances She |
had been to market and returning on /
horseback INDUCED in the luxury of a /
pipe, which she returned to her pOrket /
with fire accidentally remaining therein. /
The horse, burned by the fire, kept whirl- |
ing round, and by his action the atmOs- /
phere soon famed this into a blaze, and /
endeavoring to leap from her horse, her /
clothes caught on the horn of the saddle /
and her foot remained fastened in the /
stirrup, the endeavors to escape theFefrom /
adding fuel to the flame. A neighbOr see
ing the fire FASTENED to her assistance, tore /
the burning garments of, severely burn |
ing his hands in the operation. Tt was
too late, though, for after lingering in
agony until evening, Mrs. Wilson was
relieved by death.
MARION CoUNTY.-The Independent says:
On last Monday morning about one o'clock
an alarm of fire was given. 1t proved to
be Hme-house in the rear of Patten dE
Wallace's Bank. The fire was stopped |
after partially burning down the lime
house and wOod-hOuse or two.
The hole dug for a eistern in front of the
Court House has taken to caving in, caused
by the recent heavy rains. This Job seems
to be a hard one for contractors all the
way through. If the weather does not
settle there will be a scattering of that
hole so that it will be hard matter to To-
cate the cistern in the right part of the
county.
UNION COUNTY-We select as follows
from the Marysville Tribune:
The twentieth Annual Fair Of the Union
County Agricultural Society will be held
at the grounds of the Society, on Tuesday, /
Wednesday and Thursday, October 10th,
18th and 18th. This may appear to some
as rather late in the season, but it was
found to be impossible to hold it sooner,
without conflicting with other surrounding
county fairs.
Some very mean person or persons, one
night last week, stole q chickens from the
widow Kelsey. The persons who could
find it in their hearts to infiict an injury of
this kind upon poor widow, will be
somewhat mistaken in the size of their ac-
counts, when they ceme to settle for the
next world.
