| ORPHAN ASYLUM LOCATED.
The Evangelical Association appointed q COM
mittee last Spring TO secure suitable location
in this part of the State for an Asylum for or
phan children. The Asylum is now located at
Tifin, O., but majority of the committee be-
lieve it to be more desirable to have it situated
in the country, and they are now at work to
procure funds to buy a farm lying near our
town. Their efforts have been successful to
some extent having received about three thou
sand dollars. The object which they are trying
to accomplish is certainly worthy one, and all
good men will wish it success.
SCHOOL MATTERS.
The schools have opened with a full attend
ance this year. No changes have been made in
the teachers, all the old teachers having been
re-employed.
THE BOYS IN sLuB.
meeting of the citizen soldiers of this
place was held here last Tuesday evening, for
the purpose of appointing delegates to the con-
vsution which was held in Sandusky on the 14th
of this month. The number of names that
were sent you for publication shows that the
soldiers condemn the policy of Andrew John
son and his followers, and Mr. Finefrock may
be assured that he will receive very meager
support from the soldiers in this vicinity.
UNION MEETING.
On Monday evening, September 10th, Hon.
Jos. NJ, Root and Col. Gibson addressed large
political meeting at Summers Hall. Although
but few placards were posted in the street, and
the rain which fell in the evening prevented the
country people from coming to town, yet the
Hall was filled to its utmost capacity, a large
proportion of the audience being composed of
ladies.
SPEECH OF HON. j. N. ROOT.
Mr. Root occupied about half an hour in ex-
posing the inconsistency and apostacy of An
drew Johnson He served six years with john
son in Congress and knows him well. Mr.. R.
is now doing good work for the Union party.
SPEECH OF COL. GIBSON.
Col Gibsons speech needs no comment. He
al,oays makes good speech, and no one knows
this any better than his opponents. In his
speech here he presented to the people the is
sue now before tie country in clear and logi-
cal manner. His remarks throughout elected
great applause and sem to have put new life
into the Union people of this place.
We are gaining strength every day, and the
result will be more favorable than the most san
guine of us have anticipated.
THE PRESIDENT sL1GHTs BELLEVUE
The President passed through here on his
winding way" to Chicago in the most magrifi-
cent silence. The train did not stop, and he
was not permitted to 'tswing around the circle"
and ''leave the Constitution in the hands of the
people"
THE PROSPECTS, BRIGHT.
The loyal people here, as elsewhere, are wide
awake and at work. The late elections in Ver-
mont, Maine and California speak unmistaka-
bly, in favor of Congress and against the resto-
ration policy of the President If The people
throughout our district will work with increased
earnestness until October Gen. Buckland will
be sent to the Fortieth Congress, and we will
thereby assist the New England States in their
efforts to put the leaders Of the late aebellion
beyond the power of further mischief
