ISLANDERS Man and Then Refuses to

Speaking of Capt. Eric johnson and his
speech in Moline, the Union of Oct. 2Sth
said:
Johnson's unfaithful transactions with those
conhding Swedes OF Henry county wherein he beat
them ont Of their honest earnings is too fresh in
the minds of the citizens in this vicinity He is
too near home to talk Of reform"
And the Union of Nov. Sd says:
We are in receipt of personal letter from Eric
johnson, who lately spoke in Swedish here stating
that the allusfon to him as swindler, in a late
issue OF the CT7toH, is error he being confound
ed with another Swede whose name is Olof johnson.
M. Eric johnson says he has lived in Henry
! county thirty years and never knowingly wrOnged
a m&n of dollar, either in money or property,
the charge pass unnoticed. The error may have
occurred as he says,and as would not knowingly
wrong any man, we are pleased to give him the
full benefit of his statement.

falsehood why didn't you publish Capt;
Johnson's letter and give him ''the full
benefit of his statement" And then such

cans hot weather advice, the meaning being
that sudden cooling of the body is likely to
induce bad colds, which are harder to cure in
summer than in winter. 1t also says that iced
water should be drank slowly, with a pause
after each swallow. Hot tea is recommended
because s'the debility and downward progress
of the system is arrested by the warmth of the
water and the stimulating quality of the tea,
until strength begins to be impaired to the sys-

due to the concentration Of the SUMS rays on
the head. Persons are frequently struck, as
it is termed, in the night, bat are more apt to
be so late in the afternoon, when the system is
depressed by heat and nervous exhaustion.
The way to avoid sunstroke is to order ones

HAYES Care for the Soldier.

Mr. Emory Higley, who was member of
Company B., Twenty-third Ohio Volunteers,
has written a brief letter to the Ashtabla Sen
ti'aet IN which he says: s'When 1 enlisted
was quite young and small to carry musket,
and found it difficult at times, when on long
marches, to keep up with the army. When on
our second or third days march from Weston
to Cheat Mountain, I became so fatigued in the
middle of the afternoon that it was impossible
to keep up, and began to stra ggle in the rear
AS soon as discovered by our gallant Major
Hayes he dismounted his horse and requested
me to ride. l repeatedly objected to do so,
saying that thought l could march awhile
longer, but he would not take no for an an
swer. After placing me comfortably on his
saddle and putting his pantaloons in the top of
his boots. he shouldered the gun and filed my
place in the ranks, plodding through the sticky
clay, gathering with the boys and cheering

his horse to ride ahead and look for camping
ground. We camped that night at what was
known as the ''Tompkins FARM where we
found plenty of wood and fires still burning,
left by the rebels in the morning of the same
day. During the whole evening he was found
walking through the camp, caring for and look
