BELLAIRE, o., Sept. 18th, 1871
The recent panic which has hal sue
a deleteriouS effect on the commercial
interests of the country is gradually
being counteracted ana the prospect
for a speedy return OF good times looks
more and cheerful each day.
The business community who are al
ways wide aWale and the most un-
likely to be deceived are predicting al
better and more active fall trade than
has heretofore en- experienced. :,
The farmer assumes more cheerful
tone now than he did two months ago
and why. Because he sees that every
indication and the signs OF the time all
point to new era in the commercidl
and financial history Of the county.

clique or confederation hut from the
com bi..ed interest of the whole country,
this reverse has and VIII be to StIii
greater extent one Of the most notable
epochs in the history OF this uation
ever yet chronicled; an epoch which IN
ages to come will be looked back upon
as one of the most eventful ever wit
mes ed in this or any other country.

cluded from any of the benefits arising
from this grand change.

Ohio. Indeed so sanguiAe are we OF
the future that many OF our lcadlns

tenticn of making heavier purchases
than then have heretofore been in the
habit of doing.
