headed "Revised State Union Ticket" has
occupied nearly half column in the Union,
Its former magnificent proportions have been
curtailed SO that it now occupies only about
one "square." We propose ''revision" of
the heading. Instead of "Revised State

W. jeff. Gatewood was called upon the

an attempt to compliment the ladies present,

that, we should judge. Perhaps il he would

Assassination of q Coior.d Clergyman
by n Former Rebel.
On Saturday morning last Rev. Alexander
Met ann left his house, about five miles from
Mason 5 Depot,1n Upton County, to go to mill.
lie had proceeded about quarter of a mile
on bisway by birdie path through the woods,
when an ex. Confederate soldier, living 10 the
vicinity, by the name of Tom Kelly, who
had lost his right arm int the service, stepped
before him, with an oath commanded him to
halt, and asked, .What did you shoot at me
forg' He replied that he never had shot at
him, or wished him any harm. With another
oath Kelly called him liar, and aiming a
double barrelled shot gun he had in his hand
at him, discharged one of the barrels. The
charge of buckshot entered the right breast
with great force, he being only few feet
from him, breaking the shoulder and shat
terng the collar bone. This WAS not enough.
but in spite of the pleadings of the wounded
and nnarmed man, he raised his gun again
and discharged the other barrel, which for
tunately missed its aim.
knowing tina. he could not reload his gun
quickly Mccain turned back and rode for
home as quick as he could, hoping to reach it
before his assailant could be prepared for an
other attack. Though suffering severely from
his wound, he managed to keep his seat in
the saddle until near his house, when he fe Il
to the ground, faint from the loss of blood.
His wife having heard the report of the gun
in the direction he had gone, had been led to
the door by kind Of instructive dread Of evil
known to many in these parts, ard saw him
fall. She with som neighbors ran to his as.
sistance, who conveyed him to the house on
q mattress. He now lies in precarous con.
dition, although some hopes are entertained
OF his recovery. But be will lose the use OF
his arm.
Mr. Mccain is we'll known throughout the
community as an honest, industrious, peacea-
bic man, anu il highly esteemed by all as a
consistent and exemplary Christian. He was
admitted on trial in the Tennessee Annual
Conference of the VI. l.. Church at It's late
session in Shelhyviile, elected 10 Deacon s
orders aud stationed ON the Coyngtou Cir.
cult, Iiploa County. No earthly reason
could exist for this diabolical act bot the
ilendish hate ofhis intentional murderer. as he
was one of the most inotfeasive men living.

in the last JOURNAL, was resideSt of Linn, and
leaves wife and two children. In connection
with the fatal occurrence, the Lima Gazette mar
rates the following singular foreshadowing of the

His wife had been unwet for some time, and
early Monday morning she had dream, in which
her husband appeared to be lying in coffin at
home, while friends were also present. The dream
startled her, when she awoke and struck a light.
Realizing that it was but fancy, she again retired
but no sooner had she slept than the dream was
repeated, again awaking her. After this, she
slept no more. After breakfast one or two of the
neighbors called in, when she remark ed that she
expected to hear bad news, and telling them
the dream, when a messenger called and reported
that her husband was badly injured; she stated
that she was prepared for the worst, ana If her

THE OHIO SCHOOL LAW.
WEsro;.. Woop Co, O., Marcl

WEsToS,. WooD Co., o., March o, 1857
EDITOR JOURNAL: wish to say few words
to you, aud. through you, to our State School Com
missioner, in regard to the working of our School
Law in this part of Wood County. The Oath Sec
ton Of School Laws Of Ohio, 1885, is the part
wish to speak of, which requires the Board of
Education to provide for, and hare, six months
school in each sub-dstrict of the Township, and
holds the Board of Education jointly and singly
responsible for the same. Now, Mr.. Editor, shall
find no particular fault to this section Of the Law
It is very good where it can be carried out. In
older parts of the State, where the county is all
settled up, it is just the thing. But, it to
me that it should DC modified in some way to suit
this new and unsettled part of the State. In this
Township (Miltop), Of Wood County, there are
eight sub b-districts aud joint sub-disrict with
Weston, which would give some over four sections
Of land to a sub-district, making the sub-distrcts
AS large as is possible for the youth to attend the
schoos--aud yet don't think there are more than
two of the eight sub districts that have more than
tbirty-fyc scholars and these two districts are
the smallest in territory. But fortunately for
them, each comprises small village, have plenty
of scholars, and consequently plenty of money to
pay their teachers, without taking any of the
township tax or money derived therefrom. b..
But what shall be done for the other six sub-dis-
tricts, which have neither scholars enough to af-
ford six months school, three months OF which
would not average over four or five scholars, or
money enough to pay the teacher? Says one,
make the sub-dlsricts larger and less ofthem. This
woul only be making the matter worse. can take
aim ist any two of these six districts and put them
together, making eight sections or square miles,
requiring some of the youth to go two and half to
three and half miles to school, and still not have
over al hty or sixty scholars. Another thing schools
are continually changing. This sub-distrct was
