About twenty years ago there lived
on "Hogback" "a region In the north
west corner Of this township) one Da-
vid Gleason, a man of considerable nat
ural mind, yet poor and uncultiyated.
He was the author of an arithmetic
called "Gleason's Arithmetic" and the
father of two sons, Harris and David, Jr.
These boys, though born in abject power
ty, had spark Of Natures fire In them.
Years ago they moved to Iowa, where
they both studied law and were admit-
ted to the bar. Recent advlces from
there say that Harris Is District Judge
and David a State Senator. Both are
known as men of marked ability, and
command universal respect They are
examples of which our township ought
iustly to be proud. Scented darlings of

The bar of Vinton has the most nov

was the possessor of u solemn, old jack
ass which he sold to his neighbor, re-
ceiving current funds therefor. Said S.
O. jackass had seen twenty-five summers,
and, per consequence, desire had failed
him, therefore in the eye of the vendee
he was worthless. He had long since
ceased to arch his proud neck, but not to
strike Heaven in the face with disa-
greeable sounds. The buyer cantered
his purchase over to his former owner,
and demanded that he take back the
aforesaid g. o.j. The former owner was
not singing, slack, jack, jack, come back,
back, back" and refused fatty. The
case was taken before Judge Virgins on
the warranty. Verdict for the plaintiff,
and case taken up to the Court Of Com
mon Pleas. You will hear it all there

father is in all probability the Oldest
man in the Union. He resides at
Lodi, Medina county, Ohio. In spite
of his advanced age, he is still hale
and intelligent, and well remembers
the localities and scenes of his early
days. There is nothing peculiar in
his personal habits. He has lived
plainly, in farmer style; has never
used tobacco in any shape; but for
about a century was accustomed to
take his bitters with great regulari-
ty, until the crusaders" induced him
to quit the practice.
