History of Ashtabula Township.
Written IN 1s56-frOm tile Times.
BY the Lato Rev. JOHN HALL.

Mr.. William Jones, pioneer of 1907,
makes the following contribution to the
Indian history of this township. He re-
lates, that soon after his settlement in
the wild forest, there came a party of
twenty-five or thirty Indians from Catta-
ragus for winters hunt.
Immediately after their arrival, Mr..
Jones followed his new neighbors down
to the place selected for their encamp-
ment among the frs, or hemlocks, little
up the creek south of the village, and
east of his own dwelling. He found
them merry and cheerful and very friend
ly. The men Immediately set about
building some wigwams tor shelter. This
was done by driving forked stakes into
the ground, and laying poles across, rest
ing them in the forks on the tops of the
stakes, and covering the root with hem
lock boughs resting upon the poles.
Thus, in the space of all hour, with their
only tools, their hatchets and long knives,
they constructed two or three wigwams
of ample dimensions for sheltering the
whole company.
The next want to he supplied was food.
To obtain this they sent out two or three
of their men, armed with rifles, to hunt
for venison. In few hours Mr.. Jones
was surprised to see the hunters return
with so many deer Mr.. Jones expressed
his surprise, saying that it often took q
white man one or two days to shoot one
deer. An old Indian replied:
"White man not know how. HI
travel, travel, travel in woods; deer sec
him, run away. Indian no do SO. He si
down; deer come long, Indian shoot him
sit down again; mother deer come long
shoot him too. Indian know how; whit,
man not know how"
The Indians were usually very friendly
to the early settlers of this part of Ohio
meeting them with the friendly saluta
ton, brother. One exception has com
to the knowledge of the writer.
An Indian had purchased dog OF MI
p. Shepard. The dog was gone, AM
while Mr. Shepard was at work nea
the mouth of the creek, mile and
: half up the lake shore, above his owl
E dwelling, the Indian came TO the hous
and demaDded the dog of Mrs. Shepard
, She replied that she had not seen the do:

5 his rifle, he advanced toward her, bran
. dishing his tomahawk and scalping

did not restore the dog. To pacify hin
and save her own life she said: Isl
down and | will go and call the dog"
: TO this he assented, laying down hi
weapons, but threatening to kill her
she did not bring him the dog immS

''In spite of much that is discouraging,
and an increase of drinking in some cir

There was five times as much drinking in
Congress when he entered the Senate
fourteen years ago, as there is now. And
those that now come into congress from
the south have not brought so much with
them. Liquor shops are now banished
from the National Capitol. This is q
new thing, and a great improvement.
There are also six Thousand pledged tenn

Of the dram shops have also been closed

LOVE ONE ANoTIIER.-The celebrated
Archbishop Usher was, in his younger
days, wrecked on the coast of Ireland, at
a place where his person aud character
were alike unknown. Stripped of every
thing, he wandered to the house Of
dignitary OF the curch, in search of shell
ter and relief, craving assistance as
brother clergyman. The dignitary, struck
with his squalid appearance after the
wreck, distrusted his tale and doubted
hls character; and said that, so far from
being clergyman he did not believe he
could tell how many commandments
there were. d" | can at once satisfy you,"
said the Archbishop, sthat am not the
ignorant impostor you take me for.
There are eleven commandments" This
answer confirmed the Gignitary in his
suspicious; and he replied with q sneer,
'Indecd there are but ten command
ments in my Bible; tell me the elventh,
and | will relieve you" "IIere it is"
said the Archbishop, " n new command.

A good thing came off at Grafton, Lo-
rain county, on election day. The De-
mocracy knowing themselves in hope
less minority, and to play ''huge joke"
upon the Republicans, nominated re-
spectacle colored man by the name of
Gum for the Justice of the Peace, and
run him in opposition to the regular Re
publican candidate, Esq. Stebbins, who
had already filed the office for number
of terms. The contest was warm one,
some Republicans, who thought, perhal
they had had rather too strict justice
dealt out to them by the Squire, or for
the novelty of the thing, voting for Mr..
Gunn-Gunn himself voting for his op
ponent. On counting the votes it was
found that Stebbins was elected by ma
jority of one only. This is a pretty good
beginning, and Notwithstanding it was
done out of pure and unadalterated
"cussedness" on the part OF the Demoe'
cy, it will serve to break them in, not
only to vote acith bat for their "colored
brethren" in the future politics OF ONO,
and perhaps of the nation at large.

FAITHFUL WIFE IN TOLEDO.
Some six weeks ago we published a
statement of the elopement of the wife
of Andrew J. Bander, of this city, and
OF the husbands application to the de-
tective force to procure her arrest and
take from her his property which she had
carried off in her exit. Before marriage
she was one of the viIest of prostitutes
Well acquainted with her past history, he
married her, and continued working at
the Cleveland and Pittsburgh depot,
where he received Il fair salary, good
part of which he deposited in a savings
bank. On her elopement he followed
her to Baltimore, where she was arrest
ed, and informed him that she always had
been and would continue 10 be prostl-
tute in spite of him. He took his prop
erty and returned to Cleveland, where he
began work again in the depot, and was
to all appearance cured of the folly
which led him to espouse n woman total
ly unworthy of him. He was frequently
laughed at for attempting TO reform his
wife, but always gave as all answer that
he was not the first man that had been
led to acts of folly through love tor q
woman.
