4 STRANGE REUNION.

The following episode occurred at haSsillon ou
Thursday OF last week, and was witnessed BY the
reporter of the DEMOCRAT. On street near the
spot where the tent of Barnum'' show was pitch
ed two men approached each other, and when
about ten feet apart, both stopped and stood for
a m oment gazing at each other in mute astonish'
ment, when they rushed each into the others
arms, and like two maniacs hugged and kissed
each other then separating, they took another
look and went through the same unrcsuained
operation; and while they stood hand in hand,
third man approached aud on seeing them, he
came up stared at them moment when they
noticed him, and the trio went through the same
frantic and loving motions, shaking hands, lay
Ing on and hugging each other In turn. AT first
we thought the men were drunk but upon further
observation, and on approaching the group, we
learned the facts were these. The two who hrst
met we're DR.. J. r. Gardner Of Brockfield In this
county, and John shang, boss canvassmau with
the Barnum show; both had been for three years
inmates of the Ohio Penilentiary, where from day
to day they had marched side By side, without
daring to speak word to each other Shang had
been sent from Carrollton for killing man in a
general fight, and hepeople of CSrrolton regard
ed him as innocent, but circumstantial evidence
led the Judge to send him up. Gardner will be
remembered as having been sentenced from Can
ton nearly four years ago. shang was released
several months before Gardner, and they had new
ermet to speak, from the time they first saw each
other in the prison untillast Thursday. The third
man. now travelling for SOME Columbus establish
ment was for long time guard in the penitintiary
and both shang and Gardner had been under his
supervision; they hung about his neck and called
him their dearest friend, and said he was the
kindest and best guard that ever stood in the
walls of the Ohio Penitentlary. The whole trans
action was very touching and we can confidently
assert that not one of the men was under the in
uence ofliquor in the sllghtenst degree, nor were
their actions prompted by any but earnest emo
tions natural under the circumstances

PITTsB rRGH WOOL MARKET.

The market for wool continues TO drag, under
the influence of the deadlock between the farmers
and buyers and it does not seem as If the question
There has been a little movement in the line Of
coarse and medium wools, and some odd lots of
tub washed have come in at compromise prices.
Farmers would be wise not ocarry their views too
ment OF a wool manufacturer of this vicinity that
he can bring wool here from New York cheaper
than he can buy It OF the farmers. Fine wools
seem to be little easier, and offerings are In ex
cess of the demand and prices are likely 10 go
lower. Combing and tub.washed woods are In
better request and would be bought freely If the
views of buyers as to values could be met. We
continue our former quotations as follows: Penn

vast number, the Buckeye shops made one fourth,
In our advertisement Of last week In your paper
we repeated the statement, adding that 5000 Of
said $4,000 were front cut machines The forego-
ing figures were obtained from the most reliable
authority In the Juneissue ola paper published
by c. Russell 4 Co.; they state that there were in
1874, $1,000 machines and in. your paper of last
week. they declared in five separate paragraphs
that the total number of machines made was 1866
574 Of which 81, ,42l we're rear cut and 22l55 were
front cut machines. To give color oftruth to their

performed in Cleveland recently, and one hapless
young man attempted to kindle fame of pas
sion in her bosom, when there was terrific ex-
plosion, and the young fellow went down stairs
without paying attention to the position of his
feet
