GREENE, Dee. ,, 1865.
EDITOR CHRCNICLE:-A deep
gloom seems at present 10 prevail
over u usually cheerful community,
in consequence of the many deaths
that have occurred during the last
few weeks. All classes have felt the
strong arm of the messenger and have
fallen. The fair flower of four years,
the beloved wife and fond mother,
the strong man and our aged sires.
Here l linger, and my pen moves slow
as | record the death OF our aged citi-
zen, Oliver Winchel, who died Oct.
Both, ISIS, aged e~ighty-two years and
nine months. The deceased was
born in TorringfOrd, Litchtield COun-
ty, Connecticut. About tifty-three
years ago he emigrated to Randolph,
Portage county, Ohio, and settled on
what was called "Butternut Hili.n
When about thirty years OF age, he
married Polly COwden, sister OF SimD-
son COwden Esq, late of Gustavus,
who was a very kiud and faithful
wife, a tender and devoted mother, a
kind and obliging neighbor, one
whose society was always desirable,
and ever seemed TO spread light and
sunshine in her pathway, and who
passed oil in a few years in advance
OF her husband. Mr.. Winchel was
n of the first settlers in Randolph,
and passed all through the pri-
vations, trials and hardships Incl
dent TO a new country. Was always
a very hard working man, and clear
ed up three new farms. He was a
clOthier by trade, worked at his trade
in the winter season, and on his farm
the rest OF the time. In those DAYS
the wives and daughters spun and
wOVe finest iianueis, and as Mr..
w. was a superior workman, if there
was anything very fine and nice. as a
wedding suit wanted, they would
always apply to him. One little cir
cumstance of his early life, which he
often related il after years with laugh
ter, / will mention. When in Con-
neeticut, he heard large and frightful
reports about the wolves in Ohio. and
soon after settling in the woods. he
was out from home in the wilderness
with an OK team, and when about
two miles distant from home. he
heard . e and strange hooting or
bowling which he at once took 10 be
a drove of wolves vino were on his
track, and close in his He con-
cluded his only safety was in flight
and consequently put the whip To
"Old buck and berry" and ran them
those two miles on the double quick.
expecting every moment the wolves
would be at his heel. He arrived safe
at home after suffering the most Sc
we're fright, but learned soon after.
that it was but the screeching and
hOOting Of the owls. About seven
teen years ago he came to Greene,
where he spent the remainder of his
life. He was very punctuaI in his
contracts always considering his word
(as l once heard him say) sacred. If
he had failings we would fain cast
around them the mantle of charity,
and bury them with the ashes of the
dead, and Will but remember his viz
tues while we mingle the tender tear
of sympathy with his sons and raia-
tievs who mourn his loss.

EDITGP CHRONICLE:-Your very
excellent paper Of the 18th inst. comes
to Us with an invitation to send
articles from the different Townships.
Now I wish TO know whether this is
one o. The Townships belonging to
TrUm5ull County or not, l for one
belong to Trumbull County, and also
to Ottawa. So at the risk OF intruCing
! send this.
Although bleeding and starving
Kansas is only known in the memory
Of the past, vet Kansas Is still in The
Union, and plodding her way up TO
wealth and Importance. VIZ claim
for her the championship of the
Republican States. Having but one
member in Congress, she gives . ma
joTity for Grant and ColfaX, OF nearly
GOO votes. If any district can beat
il we want to hear from il.
Five years ago the country, for six
or eight miles around where Iam now
writing, was inhabited only by
Indians. Not 4 mark of civilization
was then visible, and though on all
sides OF the Ottawa reservation
settlements had been made, the
industry and enterprise of the white
man had not passed its limits. Now
there stands on the banks Of the
beautiful Marais DIES Cygne5 tprO-

and satisfy themselves that it is the
finest location and offers better

world.
The immigration to this State is
very large and in 2 fewyears Ohio will
find Kansas along side Of her in
population. Wheat, corn, oats,
potatoes, and in fact almost every
kind of grain and vegetables can be
successfully grown here, but herding
or raising cattle is our forte, and j.
already telling on the wealth and
growth of the State.
But this is now too long, and / will
wait till I hear from some of the other
( Townships before I write again.

MIR. EDITOR:-I am not a little
astonisheG that the attention of our
County authorities have not been
directed to that ~intolerable nuisance,
the overlooking and stagnant ponds
of water caused by the damming of
Mosquito Creek. That known as the
Heaton Dam is said TO have been
raised something like a foot or
eighteen inches higher than it
formerly was. Now that the County
Officers are expanding so much time
and money to drain the swamp lands
and improve the general heath of the
country, (which may all be well
enough for the public gOod,) why
can not they turn their attention 10
the growing evils, and not permit
that obstruction which has oVerfiOwn
hundreds of acres of good land and
made many ponds of stagnanU water.
causing disease and death in the
neighbOThOOd to be increasing every
few years. Now it is said the dam
has been so long there it cannot be
removed. Is that any reason it
should he increased? If it has been
permitted 10 remain there to the
injury OF the common community for
many years, the sooner proper Stops
are taken for its removal the better.
Let those in authority look into this
matter, and if Legislation is nee
essary apply for it at once. y few

walter Brown & Co.'s Wool Circular.

There is often at this season of the
wear q temporary lull in the Wool
trade. occasioned bymanufacturers de-
creasingtheir production of Fall goods,
and changing their machinery to
Spring fabrics, the raw material for
which, in many cases, may have ac-
cumulated on their hands.
Prices have, however, been very
we'll maintained, and although there
have been few instances where slight
concessions have been made to effect
cash sales, or to close up special lots,
vet. as a rule, sellers have generally
adhered to previous market rates.
This exhibition of firmness, during
a Deriod of decided depression, is p
strong evidence of a healthy condition
in the trade and a guarantee of a good
demand, at improved prices, before
MANY Weeks- There is very little
Wool TO come forward from the coUn-
frv. and the accounts from many sec
lions indicate a short supply for their
home consumption; and it is not I'M
likely that some OF the Western mills
will have TO draw q portion of their
supplies from the Eastern markets.
we do not remember any season where
the Wool has been so completely gath
cred in from the producing districts:
There is also little or no foreign wool
in any of our markets, and, although
there is an oYerstock in the European
markets. aud prices there are low, yet
81 cannot be imported to compete with
in 10 e cent. of present values
for domestic Woods. With the market
Inns circumscribed, if our mills con-
finue running as they undoubtedly

for all the Wool on hand, and shall
not he surprised TO see a material ad-
vance before the first of March.
