whom / afterwards heard was Col. Crane,
passed by going up street. Col. 1erger and
| think some other gentleman. were con-
versing some fourteen or fifteen feet from
where L stood; as Col Crane approached,
my impression is that the gentleman spoke
to him and left Col. Herger; Col. 1erger
then spoke TO Col. Crane and said that he
had wanted to see him; that he had taken
advantage of him during his absence, or
words about to that effect. Col. Crane de-
MED having done so; / think he told him
that he was simply discharging his official
duty. Col. Yerger seemed to be very much
excited. aud told him that he had denounced
him before, and did SO again. Col. Crane
told him that he was drunk. and he wanted
nothing to do with him, and started to leave;
whether Col 4erger caught hold of his
hand do not know, but Col Crane stopped
at any rate. i think about this time Col.
Crane was holding up his hand and talking
to Col. Ierger. Col. Yerger pushed his
hand down, saving. don t pnt your hand in

Mr.. Yerger seemed to make an effort to

more of them till they appeared by the side
eff my door, the north side. close together,
holding to one another; they scutfled over
to the other side of the door, and COL Crane
seemed TO be inclined to fall, but holding on
to Mr.. Yerger. About this time MIR. John
X. Yerger came in and said, ''let us separate
Them" and ran up. and, think, took hold of
Col. Yergers arm, but am not positive. Col.
Yerger then became disengaged from Col.

III. We have had war, now we must
have peace. We have one common

sequence of the war. 1t is the price
we pay for Union. Not to pay it is
crime only second to treason.

NCoDYILLEs March IL, lo69.
Mr.. EDIToR:-It seems Hicks has been
mum for quite while, considering, after
raising the wind and calling out Sub,
who boasts of our enterprising and accom-
plished little town. No doubt he is right.
"Where ignorance is bliss, It's folly to be
wise, seems to be general failing in the
minds of many.
Our little village took aPOwerful emetic
a short time since, which quite demoralizsd
two of our cits. It threw one of our enter
prisingers way to LOrain county, very early
in the morn. The strength of the potion was
well nigh spent after this, and the second
one did not get quite out of town. The con-
sequence was busted, which left several in
the lurch to the tune of some hundreds if not
more. If somebody would administer an
other such, we might eventually come out
better, religiOusly, as the grand church holds
full sway here-meeting every evening at
the ''Gem,' on the corner; spokesman be-
hind the bar, terms easy.
Our Hook and Ladder Company is in a
thriving condition, Capt. Nhufer, Foreman.
We propose to try Capt A. Young, at some
future day, on tiial of speed. We admit
Young was best on speed, "to the rear" dur
ing the war, but think we can distance him
in civil life. Kiel, the beer man, has put up
table, in his saloon, called, we presume,
Dime CATCHER, from the way our young men
collect there evenings, to while away leisure
hours to the music of Billiard Balls and
cheap Lager. Il seems we are getting paid
for our beautiful weather last month, with q
vengeDance. Splendid sleighiug and good
prospects to remain so for some time. Brass
faced bellies and bells of all sizes are as plenty
as losfers in country bar-roOm, only not
quite so much jingle. 1t must be your su-
burbian correspondence, from here prefers
brass bells to the bellies of the place. He
claims for them merrier and lighter nature.
o. DenisOD, of Wood county, is engaged
in VelociPedeism. He proposes to tame one
of the monsters so as to be left in safety with
the crinoline. Mother P, thinks this good
plau-so our husbands wont have to hitch up
the team to drive US out shopping with our
butter and eggs. The health of our place is
good as far as your h. s. has learned. Geo.
Bnm has returned from England.
Yours, Hicks.

Prof Richards.-H. Thane Miller, ESQ.,
of Cincinnati, the widely known President
of the Young Mems Christian Association,
sptly describes this popular lecturer as a
"Kiug among Scientific Lecturers. An eK-
change, in speaking of his lecture on 1.-The
Matter King or "oxygen" remarks:
"E4ery available seat in the house was oc-
cupied. Prof Richards is a gentleman Of
poetic taste and elegant literary culture, as
well as of scientific requirements. Although
somewhat confined to his notes, he speaks
easily and forcibly, while his physical COM
pactness and celebrity, aided BY long exper-
ienee, enabled him to perform his expert
ments with the bFiskness snd ease of a
magician.
'iHe introduced his theme POLITICALLY as IA
Foydl theme and claimed for it pre-eminent
distinction IN the world Of things. This
claim he proceeded 10 justify in his own
eloduent manner, and after lass than an
hours discourse on the vast 6iBusiOns and
proportions Of oxygen (the matter king 10

Prof. Richards, agree that for brilliancy, in
structiOD, and practical worth, he bares the
palm.
1t is extremely difficult to procure first
class lecturers on Science, principally on ac-
count Of the expense and risk in transporting

WASHINGTON STATION.

WASHINGTON STATION, March 10, 1869.
MR. EDITOR Ours is thriving village,
with healthy growth. There were eleven
dwelling houses, one Office and one store
building. We now have 9 stores and
grocery. The stores are kept by W. West
erfelt and W. Moore, the grocery store by G.
CrOmp. They are all doing good business.
The Railroad Company intend building a
Depot this spIipg, and then telegraph Of

excellent point for store, factory and a
grist mill. Lots could be obtained very
cheap. Fifty lots were laid out about ore
year ago, and now they are nearly all sold.
Mrs Skinner died quite suddenly, on the
night of the sth inst. She had been COM
planning for some time but had not been
bedfast. On the night in question, after re-
firing to bed, she complained of being very
sick. Her husband at once struck light,
but all was over with--she died so quick.
She was good piOus woman and much re-
spected.
