One OF Gen. Buffers old veterans has
made very sharp thrust at him. II soenos
that the veteran volunteered in 1890 ,,hor,
the sum of S100was paid in bountv-mono,
He received twenty-five dollars down and
was to get the rest when mustered out of ,bo
service if he remained two years in the field
After twenty months of campaigning he was
mustered out as an enlisted man. and mus
tered in as an officer, remaining in the SER
vice to the close of the war. The seventy
five dollars which he supposed due to him on
his bounty, however, he never got, and when
he wrote to his old commander about three
years ago to inquire about it, he received the
following answer:
You were not obliged to take your promo
ton, By taking it you received one hundred
dollars per month, at least, more than your
pay. Was not that an equivalent for your
bounty? 1t has been SO held by accounting
onleers' and 1 think justly.
ms note is clear, short and decisive. But
the veteran don't think General Butler ap.
Piled the same sound logic to his argument

RRcAPTTRED. = Irwin G. Porter,
charged with the murder of his two
children in Columbiana in December
last, and who escaped from the Jail at
New Lisbon several weeks ago, was
recaptured at Edinburgh, this county,
week ago last Friday. The circum-
stances attending his re-arrest are thus
given in an exchange;
"The facts of his re-arrest are these
After he escaped from Jail he wan
dered about through the woods, Sleep

until he at last came to Edinburgh to
the premises of his uncle, Samuel
| Wilson, and concealed himself in q
/ sugar house, where Mr.. Wilson found
| him asleep. They at once recognized
each other, and after talking awhile,
Mr.. Wilson invited his nephew to
come to his house and get something
to eat and remain with him oyer
night. After supper Porter retired
to rest, supposing that he was safe in
his uncle's house. No sooner had he
done this, than his uncle sent to Ra.
VIENNA for the Sheriff and hand-cuffs-
and before Porter awoke, they had
one hand fast. Porter was taken back
to the New Lisbon jail, where he re,

set for trial the 8th day of December

NEW nrrLFoRp ITEMS.

The little burgh of New Milford,
though modest and unpretending, is
looming into considerable importance
as business point.
Mr.. S. N. Andrews, one of the most
stirring and energetic produce dealers
in the county, has shipped from that
station on the C. & P. R. r., nearly
$4,000 bushels of potatoes the present
season. These he has purchased at
an average price of Is cents per
bushel. He has also purchased and
shipped from there this season 1000
barrels of green apples.
During tile summer a new church
edifice was erected there which cost
$4,000. On the day of its dedication
there was an Indebtedness of $1,000
against the church, but the amount
was generously contributed on that
day, and the society entirely freed
from debt.
About 40 tons of Butter have been
shipped from this station the present
season.
Curtiss Smith has exchanged his
house and lot here, with Mr.. Bean, fol-
66 acre farm two miles west oi
RootstoWn Center The price of the
village property was 1920 and that Of
the farm s4,620.

THE CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER
The publishers of this staunch old
Democratic paper are out with their
prospectus for 1874, which will be
found elsewhere in our columns. The
PLAIN DEALER has been too long es-
blished and its merits are too well
known to render any commendation
from us necessary. It is a snappy,
wide-awake, readable and deservedly
popular newspaper. It's market re-
ports are particularly reliable, and its
many columns are filed with matter
entertaining to the public. It is the
only Democratic Daily published in
Northern Ohio, and its bold and ear
neat advocacy of Democratic princi-
pies in the very heart of the Western
Reserve, particularly entities it to the
confidence and liberal support of the
Democracy.

CoAL.-We have just heard a report
that good bed of coal has been
found on the farm of Messrs. Stump,
in the northeast part of this township,
and that the finding of it Is not kept
secret any longer. We all hope that
this report is true for the sake of Mr..
G. Chapman, at least, for he has been
long and faithfully searching for coal.
All will rejoice with him In this find
ing.
WHEAT PRosPEcr. = A short trip
last week, to Akron, showed us many
large and beautiful fields of wheat,
and we think it never promised, at
this season of the year, for the ceming
harvest, q better crop. Also, between
Akron and Mogadore the acreage is
very large. We should Judge the
acreage to be larger than it was last
season. What little wheat there is
around here promises well.
CoRN.-The complaint here, as in
other places, is "bad seed, did not
come up well, and has not matured
well.
No winter yet but warm and wet.
Died Last night Gertie Baker,
daughter Of Henry Baker, age 8 years
and months. She received a fall
from a sled last winter, and from in
juries received then she never fully
recovered. CITIZEN.

EDITOR OF PREss,-There was q
good attendance at the Farmers Club,
which was held at the residence of
David Simison. The sanitary ques-
ton was up for discussion, and much
valuable informstion presented. DR..
J. Price was present an d took part in
the meeting. The Dr.. showed that
many times disease is communicated
by impurities getting into drinking
water, and that many times these inn
purities were carried long distance
through porous earth. The members
of the Club all agreed that it was of
the utmost importance TO see that the
cellar was properly cleaned Of all de-
cayed vegetables, and well ventilated,
there should be no cess-pool about
the back door to breed disease and
give offence to either the sense of
sight or smell; Out-buildings should
receive proper attention; Plaster, dry
earth and lime were mentioned as ex-
cellent deodorizers. Meeting adjourn
to meet the first Monday evening in
December, at the residence of o.
Bentley.

Last fall we were overrun with po-
litical speakers from Ravenna, and
even as far north as Hiram. The
burden of their speeches was to show
that Horace Greeley was a Rebel and
that his election would be followed
by one of the most fearful financial
disasters that was ever witnessed in
the country. One speaker from the
north part of the county, after draw
ing very dark picture OF what wal
in store for the people If Greeley was
elected, said: Elect Greeley Presi-
dent, and next morning after his
election a notice would be posted Oh
the Treasurer's door, with the words
"return to specie payment" Horace
Greeley rests from his labors; Grant
has been spending his time, God and
the politicians only know where and
how but the people know that there
is great disturbance in the finances
The problem is easy of solution. Turn

Correspondence.


Last Thursday, the 9th, we consign-
ed to TIE grave the mortal remains of
our old friend and townsman, Tom.
Therp. He was born in the city of
Coventry, England, April LIST, 1906,
and was in the 68th year of his age.
His trade was that of Ribbon weav-
er, at which he worked in his early
youth: He was married in Trinity
Church, in the above city, to Ann
Hands, August 4th, 1929; emigrated
with his family TO this country in 1885
He learned in this country to work
at the carpenter trade, and had lived
in this neighborhood nearly 3S years.
With honest industry and frugality'
he had accumulated a good farm
homestead, where he breathed his last
on Tuesday the 4th.
The deceased, Mr.. Thorp, had the
confidence of his neighbors for many
years, and held many township offices,
the duties OF which he discharged to
his credit and to the satisfaction of
his supporters. He boldly and freely
discussed politics, the merits and de-
merits of our legislative acts, and, in
fact, was an intelligent and and active
political partisan and the soul of our
winter evening debates. We regret
his disappearance from amongst us.
On Saturday last, the cattle, horses,
hogs, farming utensils, household fur
niture sc. of Milton Cook were sold
at auction by j. B. Stein, and realized
good figures under the hammer of that
active salesman.
Two men from an adjoining county
came some time in the forenoon and
stationed themselves in a convenient
corner and commenced selling beer,
candy, crackers, and some kind OF
wicked locking stuff in black bottles.
Some called it Tonic cordial, others
said it was Wahoo Bitters, and others
still persisted in calling it Old Rye,
and more claimed it was Applejack.
However, it seemed for time to have
good effect, till at last q couple of
fellows appeared on the stage more
than verifying the theory of Professor
Darwin. They were using prayers
and exhortations that would not be
permitted at the Evangelical Alliance.
They at length went into the field to
vindicate their honor at a game OF
f1sticufs, and in defiance of all the
eloquence of j. B., those fellows be-
came the center of attraction. till the
constables pounced on them in the
name OF the law, and restored quiet
by driving one of them to the south
and the other to the north, or in OPP
posite directions. The travelling sa-
loon was hustled off the ground and
peace was restored, when j. B. re-
sumed his calling and business went
off in the good style peculiar to the
auctioueer. M. G.

THE coming season will be one of
distress throughout the country
Owing to the financial crisis hundreds
and thousands of men and women
will be thrown out of employment
and compelled to exc out, scsnty
living during the most inclement part
of the year. "What is to be done for
the poor2" is q pertinent question for
all at the present time. Many will
say that those who are without the
means of support have not husbanded
well their means and have been in.
strumental in bringing upon them
selves their present condition; that
they have lived beyond their means
and thus brought about their own
distress. Vet 1t matters little what
has produced the wide spread want
and destitutipn, II is the dictate of
humanity and the duty of every one
to do whatever lays in his power to
relieve the suiferings of his fellow
men,

SENSIBLE ADvIcE.-An exchange

ers, which is worthy to be read and
needed everywhere:
+" These are times for the practice OF
the most rigid economy. Use your

and second, for the purchase of abso-
! Lutte necessities only. If you have
money ahead make it reach as far as
possible, for the panic has shown that
every reserve and resource, high and
low, is liable to be cut off, The long
winter cometh and the pinching times
So don't drink up, or waste, or squan-
der, or spend your money nselesslyi
! but save it,"
