Gen, Neses in the March 30 Attain


Gen. Noyes received the wound by
which he lost his leg in the pursuit of
Johnson's army by Sherman to Atlanta.
A correspondent of the. Gazette who was
in that part of the army in which was
Gen. Noyes' division, thus relates the
affair in letter dated "Near Catahoo-
chez River July 6, 1861" and pub
Iished in the Gazette of July 8:
There were many brilliant charges
made by our troops in the pursuit of
the enemy from Marietta to Kenesaw
well worthy of a more extended de-
scription than they are likely 20 re-
ceiye. One of these fell beneath nv
! own notice and was one of the best exc
cuted movements of the day. q 53iii5-
Gen. Dodge, by the afternoon of the
4th had pressed IL some two miles di-
Irectly upon the enemies flank, when
he suddenly found himself in front of a
formidable line of works extending
away for long distance upon the right
and left. If this was the main line OF
the enemy it was folly to attempt to
carry it, and six regiments-the 9th,
39th, and 43rd Ohio, of Veatch's divis-
ion, and the 31st Ohio, 66Ih Illinois and
End Iowa. of Sweeney's diviSion-was
ordered to charge the works, and, flop
portunity offered, carry them. Every
one expected to see the enemies main
lime of battle show itself behind the
works, ,as Hoods entire corps was known
! to be near; but they were, fortunately
occupied only by single brigade, am
fo haxrn rbnld "a n "a n
they made such defense as could have
been made. 1 iz-lI-
Our bows swept forward in a single
.lline with terrific yell, and, forced
their way over the Rebel breast works
so suddenly as to capture large num-
lber of their defenders. The mat
ter was so quickly ended that one
looking on could scarcely comprehend
the affair was commenced before it wa;
ended and yet not until several volleys
had been received by the gallant line
pressing so swiftly forward and many
of the brave men brought down. 70
Among the wounded was Col. e. f.
/ Noyes, of the 38th Ohio, who had com
mand of the charging column from
Veatch's front. A Drawer, truer officer
than Col. Noyes or more accomplish
ed gentleman does not belong to the
service will be very keenly felt, especi
ally in his own division. ~ 2
! He.was wounded in the leg justas he
reached the Rebel works, and so seri
ously as to necessitate its amputation
between the knee and ankle. The
amputation of leg during the no
weather is almost equivalent to al
amputation of the neck; and yet the
surgeons are sanguine of Colonel Noyes
recovery. He is of "a plucky, Cheerful
disposition, not easily discouraged, ant
was man ofstrictly temperate habit
and these conditions, so greatly to hi:
advantage, may possibly save him.

Qualities Of a Good Doctor.

An exchange gives its readers some
advice how, to choose doctor. The
advice is good for the doctor as the pa
tient. Here it is: -.rst.
First, let us advise you to avoid the
drunken doctor as you would viper.
Avoid a mean man; for you may be
sure he will be q mean doctor, just as
certain as he would make mean hus-
band Avoid dishonest man; he will
not be honest with you as your physi-
clan. ,+4-.-f- sfs7,,r..sl.a.
Shun the doctor that you can bug to
help you out of scrape-a good doctor
cannot be bought. g1... f5 -
Avoid the licentious doctor, if you
would protect your family. There can
be no compact between virtue and vice.
Avoid the untidy, coarse, blundering
fellow, for the man who is clumsy in
hitching his horse you may be sure is
not handy at midwifery or surgery.
Avoid the doctor who hatters you,
and humors your lusts and appetites.
Avoid the man who puts on an extra
amount of airs; be assured it is done to
cove his ignorance. ..,a,r -
Avoid the empty blOw-horn who
boasts of his numerous cases, and tells
JOa VI u4o oOOAAS I'LL VI Ilty pdeAChbo
day. while he spends two hours to
convince you of the fact Put him
down for fool. -. ..l,llrf ...,.--...,. j.
To be a doctor one must be man in
the true sense of the word. 4.
He should be moral man, honest in
his dealings. zs, 50. "a s.e
He must have good sense. or he can
not be good doctor.
| He should be strictly temperate. No
| one should trust his life in the hands of
an intemperate doctor.
He must have some mechanical
genius, or it is impossible for him to be
good surgeon. as q 5t.f
It is a good sign if he tells you how
to keep well. .t..a ye3.s-- 9igos bg
| It's good sign if he tells the mem
bers of his own family respect him.
1t is "a good sign if the children like
him. 8l,ll s. 4ifaiez5y n9tgs'j ei4
1t is a good sign if he is neat and
handy in making pills and folding

and keeps posted in all the latest i'm

Hon. Isaac Welsh for State Treas

urer. -
We took occasion tocal theattentioni
of cur readersto thecandidacy of Hon.
Isaac Welsh of Belmont County for
State Treasurer previous to the COnyen-
tion, and we are pleased to make the
annOuncement this week that he has
received the nomination. Eastern
Ohio, generally, stood by him in the
Convention from the first, and on the
second ballot all others names were
Withdrawn and he was nominated by
acclamation.
There was general feeling in favor of
Mr.. Welsh among the delegates at
Columbus on the morning of the Con-
vention, and it was soon ascertained
that he was one of the strongest can
didates on the sground; but for his
|crowning success he was perhaps in
debted to Col. Poorman more than to
any other one man, who on announcing
his name before the Convention made
a few remarks in regard to the claims
of eastern Ohio and the personal quail
ficitions of Mr.. Welsh that seemed to
to carry everything before them, and
all remaining doubts as to Mr.. Welsh's
success were removed. =
The Republicans of the State have in
Mr.. Welsh candidate for the import
ant Office of Treasurer in whom they
may well have the highest confidence,
whose personal character is above re
proach, and whose capacity for the po-
sition is of the highest order.-Cddiz
Republican. s5,e
The nominations made by the State
Convention on the 21st give general
satisfaction. Isaac Welsh is well
known in this County as man of ir-
reproachable private character, in
whose honesty and integrity the peo-
pie have full confdence.-G Cambridge

What is the Use of the Democratic
-5l4.aa - ~ Party? r4vii
From the Golden Age.I

There used tobe aground for support
ing the Democratic party; there is such
no longer. This party, until the Ohio
convention, had leading principles of
its own, distinct from tine central fea-
lures of the Republican platforms. But
the Democratic leaders, with the late
Mr.. Nallandigbam at their head, have
solemnly overthroWn the ,tcnetS which
they stoutly maintained throughout
the war. According to these new-de-
parting statesmen, the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments continued to be
unconstitutional long after they had
become parts of the very Constitution
which they were alleged to violate.
But although NO change has taken
place in these amendments, for they
remain just as they came originally
from the hands of the people, yet the
Democratic party has put itself into
harmony with policy which it lately
opposed. 1t now acknowledges,
against its own former witness to the
contrary, that these amendments are
valid and regular, and they are to be as
much obeyed as other parts of the Con-
stitution. Although these amend
ments have formed the text of several
years uninterrupted sbuse of the Re
publican party by its Democratic crit
les, yet these critics now ask to with
draw their criticisms and to leave the
once-berated amendments to a pros
pective and nnd unnolested dignity as
parts of the supreme law. The Ohio
and other Democratic Conventions
practically say this. Now of course we
we congratulate our Democratic friends
that they are opening their eyes to dis
Germ the signs of the times. ~ go,
But, amid all the Joy and rejoicing
which we experience over s'the new
departure" there has departed also the
chief distinguishing contention between
Democrats and Republicans, namely,
the negro question. AS consequence,
the ground which many citizens had ,or
thought they had, for voting against
the Republican party, ceases to be valid.
The Democrats, having voluntarily
abandoned their chief and vital objec-
tions to the Republican platform,
ought logically to join the Republican
party.

Extraordinary Crime by Poison
Z ing. -..s.-
NEW Jul


Mrs. Lydia Sherman was arrested at
day, by officers from Connecticut, who
charged her having poisoned at differ
ent times three husbands and two step
children, offspring of her last husband
by previous marriage. She has been
taken to New Haven for examination.
The statements of the officers leave no
doubt that the woman is guilty of one
of the most startling and sensational
stories of crimes that have ever been
committed in this part of the country
On being charged with the crimes she
manifested a surprise either real or
very well assured; she gave no appear
ance of guilt, and beyond a single sur
prise and assertion her innocence did
not seem to be all affected. This wo-
man married Jersey man nearly ten
years ago and after being with him
three years he died suddenly and un-
der circumstances which Occasioned
considerable comment. The second hus-
band married in the State of Connecti-
cut died under equally suspicious cir
cumst9nces but as nothing was then
known of the former mysteries, no ac-
tion was taken. In 1870, at Derby, Con-,
the woman married Neeleson II. Sher-
man, widow with two children, one
six and other fifteen years old; within
nine months these three died, all un-
der the sameunaccou circumstan-
ees. After the death of the oldest child,
which occurred last, Mrs. Sherman
went to New Brunswick to visit and
went also to Philadelphia. Immediately
after she had:left Derby and succeeding
the death of the child, the friends of Mr..
Sherman took steps to investigate the
matter, and to that end had the body of
Mr.. Sherman, and those of the two
children exhumed. The officers who
came on to make the arrest, state that
undeniable evidence of poison was
found upon all three of the bodies
that it was plainly seen in the stomach
of the last buried of them. They also
state that they have been able to fix
upon the alleged murderer the pur-
chase of poison similar to that of which
traces were found. The poison was
vegetable and of an unusual character,
the officers being unable to give its
name.

Harvesting Hay EARLY

In 1859, the hay crop in the United
States amounted to l9, 129, ,I2S tons,
worth at least $191, %, $50. Eleven
years has increased this by at least one
third, so that the crop in 1870 was at
least 30, ,000, 900 tons, worth $500, ,000, ! 600.
Making low estimate one-sixteenth of
the value of this crop is lost by late
cutting. And yet the practice so costly
is surprisingly common. Were argu-
ment necessary to convince farmers of
their mistake and loss, attention might
be called to that wonderful and most
provision of providence that
in almost if not all sections of the world
where cattle depend upon wild grass
for, winter as well as summer food
sudden and great heat and a CORES,
pondingly dry atmosphere combine to
change the grass inGO what civilization
calls hay while in the fullneSs of its
growth and always before its maturity;
and thus it is when for months not a
green thing is eaten by the herds of
rowing animals, they are found to be in
better flesh at the end than at the be-
ginning. IF the grass reached COM
tpleteness in its growth and seeding be-
fore being dried, cattle eating it would
u1e OF starvation rather than thrive
Science as well as observation demon
Istrates the necessity of an earlv hay
harvest. Grass is the natural food of
animals, ard before the plant reaches
its maturity it contains all the elements
needed to make a perfect aiiment in
the best possible combination and in
/ the best possible proportion. After
wards, the nature of the plant changes,
and reproduction, not force-if we may
put it in this phrase becomes the ulti-
mate object. If, therefore, farmers
would secure the best and most valua-
BILE hay crop, grass should be cut while
the seed-vessels are forming. and never
after they are formed. Haying, there
fore, should be commenced on an aver
age, ten days earlier than it is. There
may be a little lost at the beginning in
the bulk, possibly in the weight, in
consequence of the imlnaturity of the
tcrop; but the loss would be none at the
end, by the change in the nature Of the
plant from juicy, saccharine mbina-
tion into something that acts simply as
a stiff, horney holder for the vessels
containing the matured seed"

Leaving oRTobacco.
From Hearth and Home.

From Hearth and Home
People of fexperience should be allowed
their say occasinaIly. Ihave had gre at
deal of experience in leaving offtobacco,
and rather than descant on its injury to
the health, or the sinfnlness of using it,
perhaps it would be better 70 tell the
people how to discontinue i.,s For there
are many who would be glad to avoid it,
who do not know how. I know DR. Lew
is says glibly, "Clean up and quit, land
some are rash enough to suppose that
habit engendered in the blood and bone
can be laid aside like an old hat. The
price of tobacco would fluct1ate much
more than it does if that were the case.
If a man IS not sick already, to abstain
from his usual q1id or pipe makes him
so. l cannot, in a paragraph, write the
confessions of tobacco maniac, but
am sure inveterate users of the weed
would be pitied more than blamed if it
was known how by the cravings of their
disorder they are forced to use what Sc
cretly aisgusts them more than tongue
can tell. But to the point. A slave to to-
bacco who has not of body and p1ind
tc break his bonds at onee-and a few
have-may lessen the quantity he uses.
Three months of short allowance takes g
man out, in the way be got into the
habit-gradually. The easiest time to
make a total shift is about the last of
the old or the first of the new year.
Turning a new leaf is in order then;
and during solid winter weather the
nerves are less apt to be found in a
shattered condition. During those win
ter months we are in the fullest vigor,
ana inclined to lay on flesh.

MEYER CHANGES HIS POLL
y. =. -. TICS y, L..-.I.. -

The fossilized specimen of a bygone
age, DR.. John A. Weyer, takes special
pride in saying, eI have never chang
ed my politics." The cold, unfeelfng
heart that can look back on the fearful
results that have come from the pois-
onous fountain of State rights and null
lification-the fearful conflict for the
overthrow of the Union; the hosts of
the manned and wounded citizens;
the haIf-million fresh-made graves, in
which lie buried the nations bravest
and best soldiers, and the load of debt
and taxation that a patient people are
quietly enduring as the natural out
growth of those revolutionary throes
and unfeelingIy boasts that he still
holds to those Infamous doctrines, and
is proud of it, !" deserves to be pitied.
The Doctor dressed in the pants and
roundabouts of his boyhood, with his
legs run through to his knees, his arms
exposed to the elbows and his neck
stretched through the collar until he
looks like ten-penny nail driven
through butternut, would present no
more ridiculous appearance than he
has voluntarily assumed as the cham
pion of old, worn-out and exploded po-
lftical theories of the outgrown past.
The church of which he is a member
has quarreled and split, harnonized
and united, showing change and prog
ress; the profession of medicine, of
which he is a practitioner, is constant
ly undergoing changes in theory and
practice, to make it conform to the
progress of science and discovery /;
theories of government, theories of ed
ucation, theories of science are con-
stantly changing to meet the altered
situation - the changed condition OF
men and things; and the Doctor him.
self has laid aside the home-spum OF
his early days and donned his black
broad-cloth with as great facility as
would a French dancing-master, and
in everything else has changed about
as much as those by whom he is sur
rounded, except in his politics. In
this direction he still persists in indie
Gently exposing his political carcass in
the riliculously short pantaloons Of
nullification and the contracted waist
coat of Secession and State rights, pre-.
senting such an abnormal appearance
that it is difficult to tell whether he is
la genuine Rip Van Wrinkle, a "Wan.
dering Jew" or the ghost of the "Lost
Cause" " that the incantations of re
pentant Democracy is unable to say
AS he seems to be q very ancient speci

make an excellent subject for Mr.

discrimination, to shed some new igh
upon his theory of the Origin of Man.
