Battles Of the Revolution.

Below we give a list of all the important
battles of the Revolution. They began
April 10th, 1875. They closed October l9,
17s1--six years and six months. The Brit
ish sent $4,000 soldiers and sailors to this
war. The colonists met them with 100000
Continentals and $4,000 militia. The
British let loose Indians and equally saw
age Hessians. The colonists had for allies
the brave and courteous Frenchmen. The
leading battles Of the war, those particular
ly worthy of celebration, are Concord, Lex
ingtdh, Bunker's Hill, Long Island, White
Plains, Trenton, Princeton, Bennington,
Saratoga, Monmouth, Kings Mountain,
Cowpen, Eutaw Springs, Yorktown. These
are of national interest. Many of the 9TH
ers are more especially local. The disposi-
ton is to celebrate them all-victories and
defeats-to recall the deeds Of our ancestors
and have a good time, generally. Our
readers will do we'll to preserve the follow
ing list of revolutionary battles:

The editor of the Salem Republican, who
served in the last session of the Ohio Senate,
by majority of over 1000 of the constitu-
ents of his district, in commenting upon
the recent sample Of Democratic Reform"
in the attempt to change the. official man
agement Of the institution named, says:
The Reform Farm, one OF the best, and
in every particular, the at est managed In
stitution in the State, especially of re-
formatory character, has received, at the
hands Of Governor Allen, death blow.
For nothing under the Sun but political
considerations, he removed Mr.. Howe, who
for the past sixteen years has held the po-
sition of Acting Commissioner, and ap-
pointed in his place a man whose only tried
qualification is,-he is a Democrat Gov
ernor Allen has, time and again, said he
would not remove Mr.. Howe. He said no
less than two months ago, repeatedly, and
now in The face OF his most positive decla-
rations, has done so. The result will be
disastrous. An inefficient Superintendent
on the one hand, and the cormorantso of Ian
caster robbing the State on the other
Howe would not yield to the people of that
city when they sought to turn the appro-
priations made by the State into their own
pockets without a due equivalent, and
hence the substitution of one of their own
men in his stead. Such is Democracy.

"It has been quietly circulated through the
county by the people OF Perrysburg, and the
advocates Of Lhat town in other parts OF the
county. that the citizens OF Bowling Green
who had paid for building the Court House
and Jail A.this place, had been repaid by the
eouuty, all that they had expended for that
purpose. Sen tiaeI.
We never heard OF this before. We do
not believe a word Of it. And say, neigh
Dor, is not this an Invention of your own !;
an escape-pipe to let off your superabun-
dance OF gas?
But you say citizens Of B. G. paid for
building the G. II. and Jail. Why say
this when you know it il not true? when
you know that citizens Of B. G. paid only
IN part for building the C. H. and never
paid cent Cor the building of the Jail +?
Please have little more regard for truth
IN your statements. Excuse us-ah we
see; it is the principle upon which you
purpose to wage the county seat contest.
All right, so ahead, and we will hold your
hat while you l--l-prevaricate like sin
ner.

Ignornnce and Mendaclty.

We are advised upon credible authority,
that the exciting topic of conversation at
B. G. at this time, is the amount OF debt
resting upon the Court House at Perys-
burg. Even the boys upon the street dis
cuss IL with as much carnestnesS as they
would the arrival of the next circus.
The statements are industriously propo-
gated, that there are heavy mechanics
liens and mortgages on the buildings and
premises, which will have to be paid by
the county il the vote should be in favor
OF removal. Some of the citizens Of b. G.
evidently do not know whether the state
meuts are true or false, MS even one OF the
| ldicysrs OF that modern Athens, inquired in
all seriousness OF a Perrysburger, whether
it was true, that there were heavy incum-
brances on the building by way Of mort
cages and mechanics liens The answer
to this was, you ought to be lawyer enough
to know that mechanics lien can be ef-
fected only within four months after the
labor is performed or the materials fur
nised. As nothing has been done to the
building for two years past, YOU can learn
what you wish to know upon that point by
an investigation in the Recorders Office.
The reply to this was, oh ahI I didn't
think of that. As to mortgages, If there
are any, you will doubtless find them re-
corded in the same Office. The proof OF
the fact, If 1t exists, which you are seeking
to establish, lies here Immediately under
your hand and nose-search the records,
find cut snd state the truth. Again the re-
sponse Sure enough, can find out all
about it in the Recorders Office; / didn't
think of that.
We are also informed that whenever a
citizen of B. g. inquiries for sthe proof of
the truth of these statements ard says he
has seen none, he is roughly assailed with /:
What in h--ll are you going back on us
for? Have you turned traitor? Are you
employed by Perrysburg to advocate and
defend its cause? And, when answered,
no, not either, but think it best to keep
truth on our side, the answer is: If
we tell lies, we throw upon them
the labor of proving them to be lies
In this way We put and keep them
on the defensive, and we intend 10
give them all they can do in that direc-
ton, from now until the election.
From this we discover the spirit that an
imates our sister village and the principle
upon which it proposes to conduct the
county seat contest. Whether the people
will be deceived by these as they were once
before, the votes in October alone will tell.
We ask our friends not to suffer themselves
to be influenced by any story emenating
from B. G. until its truth is established
by other proof than the assertion of a
Bowling Greener. We base this request
upon the facts above stated.

There are two suits against each of them

in the sum OF $4,000 each-making total
of $4,000. These suits have been com
