EDITOR JOURNALS We have been having a
variety OF weather Of late, snow and rain, warm
aud cold, and Sfair share Of mud, the last Of
which most residents Of this county are quite
familiar with but with all, the business Of this
place still marches on. Last week, in one dav,
there was paid out, By our merchants, for clo-
yer seed, 81 800. The farmers are still hauling
" their corn, most Of which Is now brought in
the ear, and shelled BY Steam power al the ele-
waters Of Peck q Miller, and Morehousc 4 Whit
more, making It easier and cheaper 20 the far
mers than the old way OF shellinR. A large
amount Of pork has been brought here this sea-
son, but have not been able 10 get the amount
All kinds OF business is on the increase. Our
merchants are already getting prepared for their
filed 10 overhowing. which will bo sold cheap
for the ready gs'tdown.
The Sons Of Temperance, organized but a
short time, number now about one hundred menn-
bers, and accesions 10 the Urder are being made

Omnial Reform.

The feeling throughout this State seems..to be
growing stronger every day that the power
vested in local authorities should, and OF neces.
sity, must be placed under restraint. In many
instances the rates levied are almost ruinous
the tax payers.
The following petition was presented to the
State Legislature, by Mr. FULroN, fChAmpaigu
county, and is illustrative Of large number ol
others which are being presented. The petition
reads as follows:
We, the undersigned, citizens and tax paw
ers of the city OF Urbana, Ohio, do respectfully '
invoke your honorable body TO interpose such
legislation as viii relieve US in some measure
from the excessively onerous and burdeusome
general and special taxation to which we, in
cOmm1n with ths citizens Of nearly all munich
pal corporations in the State, are now subject.
]. We resectfully ask that more stringent re-
straingts be imposed upon all officials who are
clothed with power TO levy, collect aud disburse
money for general or special objects within the
limits Of their several Jurisdictions.
2. That municipal, schno and cemetery
boards created within the limits Of such cOrpO-
rAtions shall severally be more fully required
IN report all their receipts and expenditures in
connection with their respective trusts.
3. That all taxes levied shall be serupuonsly
expended upon the subjects intended, 10 strict
conIormlty 70 aruele IL, section ot tile COnstl-
tuition Of The State, and any diversion Of the
rdle to be made penal, and work confscation Of
office, aud that this subject matter be spec
tally presented by courts in their charges to
grand juries.
That such general restrictions be required
In future Lewis as will only, with strict csOno-
my, be sufficient for the pHLle interests, and no
more, aud to that end relieve the people from
the illegal extravagances of their public agents.
All the foregoing points we respectfully sub
nit to your honorable body, and will, as IN duty
bound, every pray, SC.

The Annexation Bill.

The Lucas county Representative, Mr.. GRIF.
YITH, has introduced bill in the Ohio Lsgs la
inre for aune1ing some 5000 acres of land be
longing TO Perry township to the county
Of Lucas. The movement is Characterized by
the usual sagaeity which has governed the cit.
izens OF Toledo in their past operations by way
Of promoting the growth and financial welfare
of their thriving ciy. or that we do not com.
plain, but greatly admire, for they go in to win
IN the race of commercial prosperity, and they
have NOT flabOred in vain. In this case, howev-
er, the bsnsitof the operation. supposinG it tc
carry, would be wholly on ore side, that of Luz
cas- county. The township Of Perrysburg will
be stripped Of oyer 1000 acres of its most valu-
able flIds, which hereafter will rapidly increase
ia population and productive wealth, and thus
furnish large revenue OF taxation to this coun-
~, and the county OF Lucas will be correspond
ingly enriched, without giving an equivalent for
such benefits. Such line of policy will not
possibly carry at the polls.
The people have been heavily taxed ia the
past, therefore, whatever income Of tax ,tiou may
hereafter arise from the development of improve
ments by railroads, or from other sources, the
benefit Of right should accrue to Wood county
The land which the county Of Lucas thus pro
pns1s to annex, will comprise some two miles of
iver frontage, and the outlet of two or three pro-
jectSd railroads. With such prospective advanta-
Rss Il would be the height OF folly for the citizens
sf Wool county to cOuntenance for one moment
saycb chsnge.
During 1870 the Lake Shore railroad which
passes through this part of the county. which it
is proposed 10 aDnex, paid si,sls oil into the
Wood county Treasury in taxes, and it is not
improbable but the amount of revenue from
such sources, and frIm th, improvements allied
thsrewith, mlY, within the next Ave or six
ysars, realize soma $4,000 or 10000 per an
NUN. Ou sueh grounds. IL there wer1 no other,
the cit,asns will veto the act of annexation at
the ballot box.
II has, however, been stated that soms Of the
late wire pullers in the removal question are Sc
cretly operating 10 this Case II such be the
fact the people Of Perrysburg and Of Lake town
ship are ready to aequiesce in change OF coun-
~ relations on the basis Of annexing the lands OF
l'errysburg and Lake townships, which are In
eluded within llne running from the junction
sf Lake township with Ottawa county on its
western boundary. running thence in straight
line 10 the river. II he parties before named
desire such change, they will find the people
Of Psrrysbarg will chSerfolly 20 for IT, but

proposed mill be defeated.

bill has been introduced in the Legislature
annexing Wool county to Lucas-probably in
the interest Of Perrysburg to squelch Bowling
Greep. Such futile schemes. the work Of spite
and mere ehild's play, should not be suffered to
consume the time of the Legislature Defiance
DemocraRt.
The above aptly illustrates Bro. GREEN's po
sition ~ political leader Of those who now
vote unner the impression that General JACK.
SON is stin alive.
Post yourself Bro. GREEN: Chm. JACKSON is
In his grave; and the people of Perrysburg have
had no hand in this act of annexation. The first
information we had Of the matter was through

THE CHICePEE BROWNING AFFAIR.

No event for long time has so pro-
loundly moved all classes at Chicopee as
the sad accident of Friday, whereby three
high school pupils were drowned. Young
Stebbins, who survived, saws that he was
sitting in the stern of the boat, the girls
being either side of him. Southworth was
rowing. and of course, facing in an oppo-
site direction to the one which the boat
was moving After rowing about some
time, they turned toward the upper dam,
some 10 or IL feet high, over which water
to the depth of IS inches was pouring.
Stebbins soon told Southworth that he was
approaching too near the dam, who made
some reply intimating that there was no
danger, and very soon after the falling
water struck the boat and set it spinning
round, and the boat soon split in two, and
all Were struggling in the water. He has
no distinct recollection of anything else
When he rose one of the girls was with
him. He struck for the nearest shore ana
soon sank again. and when he rose was
alone, and with difficulty reached the shore,
but much exhausted. He was just able to
reach the nearest house by the assistance
of the inmates. This was on the opposite
side. but the accident was seen from the
shop, and some men Immediately started
for the scene, but had to 90 down to the
bridge and then climb over a sharp bluff,
which took time; but they secured Miss
White, though too late to save her life.
This was about p. M.
As soon as possible another boat was
obtained and search for the other bodies
was continued through the night Young
Southworth's was recovered about s
O'Clock Saturday morning. The pond was
carefully dragged all day Saturday and
through the night, and the only result was
the recovery of some articles of clothing
belonging to Miss Hunter. On Sunday,
the usual quiet was broken by the BOOM
ing of cannon, fired over the water to
cause the body to rise to the surface, but
this expedient was also unsuccessful. AT
noon friends assembled at the late home
of young Southworth, and after prayer
and an appropriate dirge the remains were
conveyed to the Congregational church,
which was crowded in every part. Rev.
Mr.. Palmer conducted the services, which |
were unusually impressive. Attic close, a
long procession moved to the grave with the
teachers and members Of the high school,
each of whom dropped a bouquet therein.
Later in the afternoon the funeral of Min |
ME White occurred atthe Unitarian church,
which was packed with people an hour
before the time appointed, while there
were dense crowds outside, so that it was
impossible to get standing within hearing
distance of Rev. Mr.. Mcleod, the pastor.
The members of the high school attended
and participated as before The lost ones
were all members of the same class in the
high school.
