ma Mexican squash, weighing

Jefersonian. 1t was raised in Blan-
chard, one Of the best townships OF
that county.........The new Flax Mil

sANDUsKY COUNTY.
The Journal, in imitation Of the
larger papers, has opened a column
for the purpose of answering corre-
spondents, but we doubt the genuine
ness of the answers as they are given
to such names as "AIiss Fifty-Seven,'
"Old Gubbins," "Mr. Snarltop," &c,
However, they are doubtless as gem
uine as those after whom the Journal
patterns.......The Messenger has put
on an entire new dress, which i'm
proves its appearance.........The local
columns of the Fremont papers are
wholly filed with matter copied from
other papers, which makes it difficult
to give much news from Sandusky
county.
| wyANDoT COTrNTy-
A large number of street crossings
are being repaired and new ones put
down in Upper usky. From our
recollection of the town, if this is the
beginning ofthe good work, it was nee
essary. Porter, residing with
his son-in-law, near the station house,
arose on Sunday morning in his usu-
al health. Shortly after, having Oc-
casion to go into the yard, he was
taken with giddiness, and calling for
assistance, his son-in-law Obeyed his
call, but when he reached him he was
in a comatose state. He was attend
ed to the house, but died in a short
time after. DR.. Henderson was sum-
moned, but reached his bedside just
before he expired, and too late to rem
der medical service .........InfOrmation
is wanted of the whereabouts of Isaac
Wesley Rhaymon, who left the farm
ofHenry Weirick, between Gallon and
Bucyrus, Crawford county, Ohio, on
or about the 1st of September, 1870.
He was about II years of age, heavy
set and light complexion. Any in
formation of his whereabouts will be
thankfully received by his afflicted
mother. Address, Mrs. Eliza Rhay-
mon, Upper Sandusky, Ohio.........
From the fact that he devOtes nearly
column of fulsOme praise to the
members of a wedding party in Buey-
rus, we are led to believe that the edi-
tor Of the Union is not very frequent
ly invited out on such occasions.
LOGAN COUNTY.
The Republican reports nine inches
of snow on Tuesday, last week..
One of our "fast'' men, has his third |
wife, within three years. His second /
wife died six weeks ago His third |
charmer was found, and bound by the |
holy bonds, last week.........The total |
valuation of realty in Logan county, |
as equalized by the County Board, is
s1O,992, ,573. In 1859, after the equali-
zation by the State Board, it was
S5,517, Acknowledgements raises S15,-
600 for Base Ball Association. Can't !
Belleiontaine do as much for a Manu-
featuring Company ?........The follow !
ing rather amusing yet serious acci- /
dent occurred near RushsylvanIa:
Two farmer boys, having killed and |
dressed a lamb and hung it by gam
brel, were washing their hands of the
innocent blood, at a pump near by, |
when a voracious old sow stole a
march on them and jerked the lamb |
from the gambrel. One of the boys, |
catching a glimpse of the operation,
made dash for the SOW, and the
sow, with the lamb in her chops, was
"off for the fields and far away"
But, unfortunately for her ladyship, !
she had to cross the railroad track, |
and just as she straddled the rail, a |
train of cars came dashing along, and
striking her, broadside, ground her
into sausage in jiffy, while the lamb !
was so chawed up that a bully butch
er boy couldn't have told whether |
what was left was ram, lamb, sheep
meat or mutton. But the serious part |
of the affair was, that one the boys in |
his hasty pursuit, fell and broke his
leg, and his parents are fearful that /
amputation may be necessary
Meetings of citizens of Bellefontaine /
and vicinity, were held on Monday /
and Tuesday evening of last week, for /
the purpose of organizing a Stock |
Company for the Manufacture of Ag-
ricultural Implements. We hope the
movement will be successful, but hav
ing some acquaintance with those of
that townwho hold the bag, we have
our fears that it will be a failure. They
preferto lend money at high rate OF
interest, rather than invest it where
it would build up the interests of
their city and county, and at the same
time give fully as large returns for the
investment.
