them. When eishty-four years Of age she

in excellent health. If she lives until
1876 Pullman p4lsca car will be dis
patched to her native town to transport

carried direct TO the Quaker City, where
her presence will be one of the e lures OF
the grand centennial Boston HsraM.

TWADDLE.

"This, however, casts no particular
reflection on the supposed editor of the
Journal for he never wrote the article, but
some of the Perrysburg ring wrote |; and
probably told him to publish it Or they
would kiI him. and he consequently did
so."-Wood County Sentinel.
To answer such twaddle would be
much like loading forty poundtr
to the muzzle, with grape and canister
and firingit at a mouse.

1t appears that Williams county is a
little ahead of other counties this Fall,
having five tickets in the field, while 9TH
ers were more than satisfied with four,
and some less. Aside from the R'publi-
can and Democratic vote, the Anti-Secret
Society party polled rs votes, the Prohi-
bitionists 40 and the Peoples ticket 40.
With SO many Richmond's In the field II
is not surprising that Bro. HAYES, Of the
Bryan Pres, got worsted in the engage
ment for Representative.

The Sandusky Register says that the
late storm in Lake Erie badly damaged
one.half the fish pounds and entirely
destroyed some of them. 1t will require
from thIee to six days to make repairs,
and not more than half the ordinary
number will be repaired for the remain
der of the season. A large quantity OF
fish In the pounds, chiefly herring, were
killed during the storm.

his marketing, and visits daily the city
for the purpose of purchasing eatablt 8
for the new Governors t,ble. This man
seems somewhat elated at the success of
his employer, and feels that the plain title
of =" Major" is not quite grand enough,
and so on entering the meat market las
Saturday, he pompously exclaimed, The
Government wants roast Of betf.'"

In order that every teacher may avail him

Military Organization.

The average American citizen of this gen.
Grafton. whose occupation is peaceful, We
take 1t for granted has had about enough of
the military business 20 last him through
lite. and is slightly disposed to watch the
formation of even voluntary militia compa-
mes with some degree Of jealousy. That's
our status. at least. and we have expressed
our opposition to military organization in
the county ut this time As not only unpeces-
sary. but rs calculated to lead to misappre-
henSfOn. The sheriff of the county is
good and conscientious officer. and ha.
hitncrto received promptly ill the support
and assistance called for. The "po>se'' is
safer and more effective for the execution
of law and preservation Of order, exec, in
times Of organized and armed resistance,
ami we therefore give it the preference.
These remarks are prompted by all item in
the last Aullvi!le Times, announcing the Or
canizatiOn of cavalry company in the
Auiivlle nei.EbOriood. We know nearly
all the citizens OF the neichboriood. aud the
fact that the company is ma,ie up of the best
Of them and is offirered by such men As
Captain John Brown and Lieutenant Grove
Youngs. is u sufficient guarantee that 1t Will
be formed on the side OF ord,r right ant,
Justice, ut least whilst it is in the hands OF
the men who now compose and govern it.

The Messrs. Scrilnrr Of New York, en-
holdened by the wonderful success which

Monthly. have entered upon the more DIM
difficult and DANGEROUS field OF literature or

of this enterprise is q handsome monthly. Ell.

torious engravinys, from designs we'll adapt

childhood. The table OF contents embraces
articles from the pens of VIM. c. Bryant,
Donald G. Mitchell. and others not so well
known to fame, bat possessed Of established
literary regulations. We commend st.
Nicholas to the heads Of families rs worthy
OF eXamin ttion ifnot Of patronage. A child's
magazine of sterling literary merit is sadly
needed to dispIace the trash now issued from
the ress. nominally or the benefit OF young
people, but in effect for the perversion OF
their mental faculties. The 'crlbn,rs have
