= The GAINESVILLE Courier of last week
says that Matthias Colcher, the Oldest man,
probably, in Muskingum county, died at
his residence in Washington township on
the oath. His age has been variously stat
ed, as high, often, as lis years, yet the
probabilities are, that at the time of his
death he was not over 81. He had been
resident of that township for more than 40
years. Some three weeks ago he received
fall while stepping from the porch of his
dwelling, breaking the bone of his right
thigh near the hip joint, and from the ef-
fects of that injury his death is supposed
to have been caused.
The deceased was the father of Mr.. D..
NJ Cclcher, of this place.
= The Musical Concert given at Roxa-
bell on Friday last, in the interest of the
Baptist Church of that place, we under
stand was we'll attended, and everything
passed off pleasantly. Rev. Mr.. Kidder,
Pastor of the Baptist Church of this place,
together with his wife and several young
ladies of the Baptist choir of this town, as
sisted in the concert.
In the report of the Teachers Associa-
ton last week, it was asked, would it not
be good idea to have a Teachers column
in the HERALD?' We think it might, and
would cheerfully devote a column to edu-
cational topics and matters of practical in
terest to teachers, if the teachers of the
county wish to use it. Correspondents
should be brief and to the point.
John johnson, the prisoner taken
from here to Mt. Sterling last week, was
on examination before Justice of the Peace
bound over in the sum of $1,000 for his ap-
pearance at Court, on the charge of having
connection with the recent burglaries there
Failing to give bail, he was sent to the
county Jail at London.
Business houses were mostly closed
here on Thanksgiving, and the day was
generally observed in a beftting manner
Union services at the NJ. E. Church were
largely attended, and the sermon by Rev
Mr.. Kidder, pastor of the Baptist Church
was excellent.
- A report was in circulation some day
ago to the effect that Rev. 1. F. King
formerly of this place, now stationed a
London, O., had died suddenly. Mr.. Kinl
Preached in the M. E. Church last Sunday
morning and evening, which is suf1cien
contradiction of the report.
= Joseph Blackmore, one of the oldes
citizens of this place, died at his residenc
on Friday night last He was over s
years of age. His funeral took place Sun
day, and was largely attended,

EDS. HERALD:-The closing exercises of
the Academy undoubtedly surpassed any,
thing of the kind ever had in the house
The house. the hall, and good part of out
doors was filled with people, The pro-
gramme was long, and cannot be given
here, but mention must be made of James
Jefferson. His calm, deliberate mode of
address, his distinct enunciation are rare
qualities in youth of his age Gamble
and Garis did themselves great credit, as
did many others. "Mr. Pickwiclz's Dilem-
MAJ by Ada Thompson, and "Pyramus and
Thisby,'' by Miss Highlans, were exceed
| ingly well read and declaimed. The musi-
cal department was under the charge of
Miss Green. The music was well selected
for the occasion, and just enough of it.
The Winter term opened to-day with
very encouraging auspices. Sorry the la
dies from yoaE town could not get in the
house, but as "The FAN OF f-s.. ;.,s,sssss eze-
quisitely rendered at the Wheaton House,
we hope the friends were amply rewarded
for their trip.
Thanksgiving Day passed off very pleas
antIy. At the Union Meeting in the morn
ing, Mr.. Wood addressed us from the 92d
Psalm: 1T is good thing to give thanks
unto the Lord.'' In the evening Mr. Brooks
and others addressed US on the subject o.
"The Relation of Christians to the Govern
ment." The interim was spentin devour
ing turkey dinners, having good time, &c
Rev. J. P. A. Dickey occupied Mr.
Brooks pulpit yesterday. Text: "Ephrain
is joined to his idols; let him alone.'

County Commissioners, Report.

The Democratic Commissioners of Picka-
way county publish their Report in both
Radical papers of this city. In how many
Radical counties in Ohioi is the Commission
ers' Report published in ONE Democratic
paper?-[ Circleville Democrat.
AEswER:-Fayette county is Republi-
can county. The Commissioners are and
have been for several years, all Republi-
cans; yet the Annual Report of the Au-
ditor of Fayette county was published in
the Democratic PsPe#-the Register, and
not in the HERALD. But the Commission
ers of our county wished to be as economi-
cal as they could, and comp4y-with the
law, and as the heart of brother Gould,
of the Register, was bleeding with SYM
pathy for the oppressed taxpayers of our
county, in order to relieve their suffer
ings he kindly proposed to publish the
Report in the Register for half the price
advertised in his own paper, the same
as agreed upon by publishers throughout
the country, and we not proposing to do i
for less than the customary price, the
Commissioners gave it to Gould. But tC
the surprise of the Commissioners, whel
it came out in the Register it wal
spread out over double the space it shoulc
have occupied; and when the bill was pre-
sented, it was just equal to what i
should have been at full rates,
it had been put up with view
to economy and the professed sympath!
of brother Gould for the oppresse
taxpayers of Fayette County. S.
Mr.. Democrat, you see at least one Demo
cratic paper in Ohio, in Republican coun
ty, where the Commissioners are all Re
publicans, did get the Commissioners: Re
port to publish, and-t4re Republican pape
i did not, because it would not agree to do
for half price. The other paper did agre
to do it for half price, and made it foe
enough to equal in charges full price fc
closely printed matter, as you have set th
Pickaway county report.

The American Farm Journal.

The November number of the American
Farm journal comes to US with twenty
bright clear pages. There is complete
ness IN every department.. There is spirit,
life and brightness everywhere. There are
over fifty original articles by contributors
and editors, and all were written with the
farmers life in view. In no paper have we
seen as great variety of matter, and we
may add, no where have we seen as pleas
ant variety. The illustrations are made
to play a practical part and they assist
wonderfully in making clear many things
that puzzle young farmers. There are sew
eral departments in the Journal that we dc
not find in other agricultural papers, and a
spice of hunor running through some Of
these that contributes much to the attract
iveness of the paper. We find here articles
by the leading Agriculturists and Horticul-
turists of the country, and nearly every
State in the Union represented by some
contribution. The Farm Journal is pub
lished by Miller, Locke & Co., Toledo, O..
| for IS cents per annum. Specimen num-
| bers will be sent on application
