PAULDNG, o., Oct. 21st, 1876.
Mr.. EDIToR:- Paulding county
soured on ''Uncle William" at the
late election, by giving Hayes ma
jority of IA. We feel very sorry
for the miserable old man in his mis-
fortune, but he will have to seek
comfort from some other corner than
this. The county ticket got badly
mixed up, the Republicans only
electing 8 out of s candidates, viz:
Clerk, Recorder and Commissioner.
On Tuesday morning of this week
the large grist mill at Antwerp, owned
by Fred Young, our present county
treasurer, and reelected at the re-
cent election for second term, was
burned to ashes, with most OF its
contents. The loss is estimated at
$4,000. No insurance; cause un-
known.
While freight train was waiting
on the side track at Emerald station,
on the T. W. & W. r. R., for the
accommodation to pass on Wednes-
day evening, pistol in the hands
of one of the fremen was accident
ally discharged, the ball striking one
of the hands in the abdomen, pass
ing through the bowels and infict-
ing probably fatal wound. So much
for handling pistols carelessly.
Yours respectfully,
EMIGRANT.

The Hog Cholera.

Professors Townsend and Tuttle,
of the Agricultural College, together
with several other gentlemen, have
been making extended examination
of the hog disease, which has been
prevailing in this county. As the
public cares only for results, we
summarize as briefly as possible.
After detailing the symptoms at
length, it is stated that it hardly de-
serves the name of hog cholera,
which implies flow of bile, but the
of the name is suggested
as a matter of convenience. 1t is
recommended that hogs be kept in
good, comfortable quarters, and not
allowed to roam about, and, should
the disease break out, that all dis
eased animals should be separated
from the rest Columbus News.

DEAR News The melancholy ydays
aye here. Every grape grower is
bewailing the loss of his crop of
grapes, by the severe frost last week.
The like of it was never known here
before.
One reason why this region is so
well adapted to the growing of
grapes is the fact, that the warmth
Of the lake waters keeps off the frost
usually from three to five weeks after
frost has appeared in the interior of
the State. But the cool summer and
the colder autumn, and steady
three days storm from the north
west, chilled the waters and let the
ffost IN. The result is, grapes. that
would have brought eight cents per
pound, are now sold to the distiller
at t'co cents, and many persons have
lost their years labor.
We, that are growing other fruits,
have Jared but little better, the Sc
we're cold Of the past winter having
killed our fruit-buds, and fruit of sll
kinds, except apples. is very scarce.
The apple crop is fair, and good
winter fruit sells rapidly at 81 per
bushel.
More grapes, apples, peaches,
&C., are being set out every Spring,
and our Island will soon be entirely
a fruit-growing region-a sort of
Paradise Regained," most inviting

The Chillicothe Advertiser, the
Democratic organ of Ross county,
is SO completely dumbfounded at the
heavy Democratic loss in that county
at the recent election, that it in
effect charges members of its own
party with selling their votes for
money!
1t says: On the whole Ross coun-
ty has done herself but little credit
tits evident that when the money pow
er thinks it worth while to make the
effort it can elect anybody it pleases
in Ross county. The National bank
ers control the county, as is evident
in the tremendous majority of the
National Bank candidate, and the
Democratic majority in Ross is a
mere sham and pretense. When the
money power goes for it it melts
away like the mist before the sun.
1t must be consoling for the Dem
ocrats of Ross, in the hour of defeat,
to have it thrown in their faces
by the party organ, that they are
n purcbasable commodity, to be
bought up at will by the National
Banks" like steers in the cattle

the Democratic ticket, we would have
carried Ohio by 25,OO0 Before the
Presidential election comes on next
