her, and everything within human power
was done to save her life but despite all

GEAUGA CoUNTY.-Our correspondent |
"Scientia" writes us from Chester, under |
date of the 18th inst, as follows: We |
haye had so far a very favorable fall most |
Of the time, warm shiny days and not very |
cool nights. There has been no frost to |
kill anything except vines. Late potatoes |
are green and are growing faster now /
than at any time before. Mr.. r. Downie |
left some peach-blOws at +. f. Shawss /
store last week that were very large and |
fine though not yet ripe; he expects a |
large yield and judging from specimens
and the fine weather do not see how he |
can fail TO do SO. The woods look more
beautiful than ever; their foliage of differ |
mellow colors that fascinate the eye of
all who appreciate that 'sthe beauties of
nature are sweeter than Dreams" Far
| mers have their fall work mostly done,
and are content and happy in their pleas
ant homes, with fine prospect and happy
thought of resting from their toll and en-
joying the comforts of "HOme, sweet
home"
An accident occurred in Chester since
| last posted it up. Two young men VIM.
Wilder working farm and H. Billiard
working for him discovered that some
| ssrebs" under Gen. Polecat were fOraging
on the ponltry, so they planned a raid on
them. Wilder armed with a revolver, and
| Bullard with shovel and hoe commenced
undermining their breast works, which
| was sandy side hill. Soon they came to
the Gems headquarters, when Bullard
hauled him out with his hoe. just at this
exciting moment the S'rebs'" magazine
blew up. 1.-THE boy, Oh where was he,"
Wilder said he saw him ''lay down the
shovel and the hoe,o while in his own
hasty retreat backwards, when he Will
der) got tangled in some brush and fell,
which discharged his revolver, lodging
| the ball in Wilder's leg. DIR. Lyman was
called and probed for the ball but could
not find it. Fortunately the wound has
healed and he feels nothing of the bali.
Another skirmish occurred in Bisbee's
/ vineyard. He found two or three chaps
in there there at late hour of night pick
ing grapes, he tried to catch one but fail
ing TO do it, ran to the road and secured
their wagon seat, (which told the tale no
tongue might speak" Aside from above

day the Seminary students visited Paris
cave. They had a fine time and came
home with the satisfaction of seeing the
finest cave in this section. The school is
doing nicely, winning fresh laurels every

Mr.. Horace Herick has just completed
his new house at the x roads; it is of me-
dunn size, but good and nice; the paint

We are glad the great money panic is
over, though it did not affect us much, as
we had not much money to affect; but if
. it opens a safe way to specie payment as
some claim it will, we are glad it came,
and passed quietly by.
The next great movement OF Importance
that has transpired to the Nation, is the
solution of the mercantile question, which
!, has been solved by F. F. Shaw, by practi-
cally proving that goods can be sold cheap

of Chester are a favored people, with good
churches, fine schools, temperance hotel
, cheap stores, master mechanics, comfort
t able homes to enjoy by day, and Scott &
Manley's spring bed bottom to gently era
die them through the silent hours of night.
From Montville our correspondent "W''

exceedingly, being neither too wet nor
too dry-too hot nor too cold. The potato

last year. This is owing to the late sum.
