The Weather.

Winter is upon US now in good earnest IT is
here with all its comforts and all its discomforts-
with all its JOY and all its sorrow-with all its
pleasures and all its terrors. On Saturday last,
the winds from the feur corners of the earth
s,emed to 10 let loose, but with all that the day
was mild AMI even warm. Bat during Saturday
night change came c'er its spirit. Winter sue
cessfuly asserted his claims for the mastery, and
since that tims he hes ruled with an icy scepter
The therm INA ster has ranged from 10 to ~
and glowing sres, furs and Ainncls prove to be
mans best comforts. The roads are frozen solid
the Maum, ,e is congealing rapidly, and already the
clear ringing voice of the skater is only rivaed by
the music of his steel-shod feet.
Let not the season CONCEAL our hearts, but may
they throb with warm and generous impulses in
the interests Of true humanity.

Correspondence Of the Perrysburg JOurnsl.l
Scraps from the Army.

In The early part Of the year, A. >. 1854, an or
der issued for tbs organization Of colored regi-
men, at Knoxville, Tennessee. It was just S0er
the seige and starvation Of November and Deeem-
ber 1868. The city was full Of soldiers, refugees,
negroes, eamp-followers and filth. Dead mules
and horses lay on the sidewalks, and even Ia the
door-ways Of some Of the houses, on the less pub
lie streets aud alleys II is wonderful the place
was not depopulated with plague and contagicu.
The men for the colored regiment were worked on
the Qualifications around the city by day, aud at
night were hudded together 10 The college build
ings, with no blankets, except the old and filthy
rags brought from home, or stolen no FIRE, and
but little to eat. OF course, they sckoned, and
being sick-with their lack Of the instinct Of liv-
ng-aimless. objectless, ambitionless, hopeless as
they were many Of them-before the Emancipa-
ton Proclamation-of course, they died II It
would be difficult to make any, even very intelli
gent persons, understand without similar expert
ence, how large city could DO so impoverished,
that there were no materials in it, Of which TO
make coffius, however rough, even an unplaned
box. Yet such was the fact in Knoxville and many
others OF the Southern cities during the war.
Hence, when the colored recruit, or any Of his
family died it was very difficult to secure, even a
box for intermeut. Captain CHAMBERLAIN, A. Q.
NJ, had charge of the army carpenters, and such
lnmber and tools as could be found, and to him
applications were often made by surgeons Of the
army for coins for such citizens as died and were
destitute. The surgeon Of the colored regiment
then in its iueipiency-a young man of brilliant
natural parts, fine culture, and patriotism that
thrust him into the ranks as private from which
place he had risen by merit and talent-made his
applications to the Q. NJ, in manner following.
Believing they may be interesting, send them you
for publication if you choose: OPAL.

Lewlshurr. Wood County.

This village was started by JoHN LoUY, Esq, in
1858. 1t is situated on the Dayton and Michigan
Railroad, six miles from Weston. Il now has
dty dwelling houses, four stores, one hotel, and
three saw mills with an estimated population Of
about two hundred and fifty persons.
The manufacture and trade in lumber, which is
the staple product, has brought about the remark
able growth of this village. One Of the saw-mis
that Of M,ssrs. @. & F. S. SoHUEREN-is one of
the mo 1T complete aud effective mills in Northwest
ern Ohio. It has a circular saw and its machinery
is propelled by steam power. On one occas sion its
enterprisinS proprietors cut the large amount OF
2l,OOO feet of lumber within twenty-four hours.
Taking, however, the average of the past year the
Messrs. ScHUEREN have cut about $500 feet OF
lumber per day, constituting an aggregate of over
1000 900 feet. Most of the lumber is shipped to
Cleveland and Cincinnati, at,whch points the de-
mand is still in advance of the supply.
W. KEELER, Esq, Postmaster and Railroad
Agent at this station has politely furnished the fol-
lowing statement of freight shipped on the Dayton
l. Michigan Railroad daring the eleven preceding
months of this year: Freight shipped, S,72l ,225
lbs. weight Cash received for freight, Ss,32s.
The cash receipts are merely for height received
at the station not for what is shipped from there.
These facts speak for themselves, and furnish
further evidence Of the productveness o. this part
of Wood County, and azO demonstrate the enter
prise of the citizens. It is estimated that even at
an increased rate of consumption, the vast guam
tity of timber in this region of country will supply
its numerous saw mills for at least dozen years
to come.
We may add-although the crop OF timber Indi-
Gates the faet-that the soil is Of the richest quail
ity and will ultimately prove an important source
of wealth to the enterprsing farmer.

1t is important that thosewho go on excursions
for pleasure or health should make some prcvis-
IONS against the attacks of bowel diseases, which
not only cause them great Inconvenience, but are
sometimss fatal in their results. A bottle OF
"Perry Davis Pain Killer" is, we have found, a
most efftctual remedy against such attacks. Wis
