The Circienille Watchman and Dem

The Circleville Watchman and Dem
ocrat, of the 7th ult., says:
Last Saturday morning, Francis A.
Taylor, young lad about eight years
of age, son of VIM. Taylor, Of Darby
township, met his death in a very pc
culiar and distressing manner. It ap-
pears, from what we have been able to
gather, that the deceased, with his
brother, had been gathering a load of
turnips in field near the house. At
ter having filled the wagon, they had
placed parcel of straw upon the top
OF the load and had proceeded to the
house. The deceased was sitting up
on the straw with an open knife in his
hand, eating a turnip, when by some
accident he slipped off to the ground,
dislocating his neck. Immediately af-
ter falling he arose to his feet, and
started for the house, but he had pro-
ceeded but a few steps, when he fell
dead. The knife entered his right
breat above the heart, producing an
| ugly wound, but not necessarily fatal
He was buried last Sunday.

CLINTos3 COUNTY.
The Republican says:
Our farmers are doing better this
year with their hogs than ever before.
It is true, at one time during the war,
they sold at ten dollars per hundred,
but the price of all articles of domes-
tic and family wear were three times
as high as now, so that the increased
price was needed to make purchases
at war rates. 1t is different now, as
everything the farmer has to purchase
is down to antiwar times. This makes
a vast difference.
Two fellows from the Xenia Gala

The Journal says:
The farmers of Clinton county viii
probably realize in the next few weeks
million Of dollars from the sale o
hogs. That is the kind of expansion
of the currency that we like. Th
money will pay great many debts,
