Your lasts weeks issue contains an
article written by 80" of this place,
taking for his subject 'eThe Devils Chain. .
1t is lamentable that such formidable
succession of links should be gathered up
from unpleasant little town, and published
in our county paper.
We would remind 80" that when he is
writing for the papers, it is to be read by a
great many minds, and it is hardly worth
while to give vent to sarcasm.
Taking up the chain Of events during
the past year, many more blessings than
evils have come to US. and it seems unwise
to gather up all the evils that surround us.
for publication.
On the contrary, every effort of pen or
tongue should be extended to benefit the
public, as well as each other. 1t is both
beneficial and pleasant to find wholesome
intelligence from our social writers, and
surely there is always something agreeable
to be coined in the every day walks Of
life.
Every year of our lives We grow more
and more convinced that it is the wisest
and best to give our attention to the beau
tiful and the good, aud dwell as little as
possible on the evil Let US bear in mind
that good, kind, true. words, written or
spoken, are like flower seeds scattered by
the breeze, afar, happily thereafter to fringe
with beauty some barren wayside l.

since our village was the scene of personal
horsewhipping encounter. One Of our
trying justices, who had sworn before high
Heaven to preserve the peace, called
one of our village barristers--E. L. Gibs,
Esq.-in his Office, and after a few ques-
tions as to the authorship of certain let
ter, rejecting upon two or three individu-
als-Col. Phillips one Of the number-he
proceeded to chastise him inhicting numerous
earnest stripes. These were born, at first,
with heroic insensibility, but becoming
somewhat serious he broke for the street
and the peace and shelter of homo. What
is to grow out of it is not yet known.

The suit of P. F. Loyejoy vs.. the Incor-

resulted in favor of the village, and the in

The efforts of DR.. Wolcott at the Congre-
gational church on Sunday last, were, as
his efforts generally are, of high order of
merit. The Doctor is an agent for the
Ohio Home Missionary Society. His mode
of presenting its claims was quite original.
He went back to the pioneers-the pilgrims
to New England, who planted the doctrines
and principles that it was the object Of this
society to disseminate. These principles
moulded their descendants and gave their
impress to the country. Their obligations
as patriots, then, demanded its support
and fostering care. The four hundred
Congregational churches of the State-if
we are right in the fgures-are engaged in
perpetuating these principles and, there
fore commend them to favorable attention.
Our friend M'Intyre, of Jefferson, is be-

To the old Surline House, of Kingsville,

added the Thompson House at Jefferson.
The first has not been occupied as hotel
since-we believe, it was vacated by Sur
line. It is, we are told, to be overhauled
soon, and put in condition for that use.
The consideration for the Thompson prop
erty was $4, 4,006-less, perhaps, by $1,000,
than it would have brought most any time
within the last ten years. Though Mac.
may have made a good bargain, it is one
that will hardly be found equal to ten per
cent. return, in these times, after paying
taxes, insurance and repairs. r.Er

from. Mr.. Humphrey has borne the repu-
tation of being a strictly temperate man
and his sudden disappearance cannot be
accounted for. He is about thirty years Of
age and has family, consisting of a wife
and two children.
