OUR COUNTKY-FIRST.

The year of jubilee has come! Let par
~ names be forgotten. To-day we work
for our country. All over, North and
South, East and West. We, the people
resolve ourselves into n committee OF the
whole. These Sovereign States wheel into
the line ior common defence. Maine sends
greeting to California and each State IN
its time awaits the day soon at hand for
mutual congratulatiNn. Party strife has
been waged full long enough. In the his.
tory OF the past the American people have
been studying political economy. We are
not in mood to waste powder and shot, TO
kill men who belong to the different curps
of the national army. We do not mean
that our country shall lose its glory us a
nation strong enough to protect the people
throughout all our borders, and sink itself
into petty states, lighting like barbarisns
to see which can gain the supremacy
That day of demoniac aud parlzun zeal
has gone by. We now 60 in for mutual
protection from foreign and domestic foes.
No bullying will any longer he tolerated
by the American people. The patriotic
spirit of eur fathers is more than alive and
our police force is full strong enough for
all practical purposes. We will see that
away unmolestcd The South are surely
too wise to attempt TO repeat the Chisholm
tragedy These brgudiers have learned
hy past experience enough TO convince them
that another great rebellion would not pay.
No one would more deeply drplore the po
liiical suicide of the Suulherners than the
people OF the North. We need Our Coun-
try--Our whole cOun ry-unbroken, undi-
vided. For ils preservation we, as our faith
ers did, edge our lives our fortunes, and
our sacred honor. At this hour we hear
the voice Of every patriot, of every friend
OF humanity the world over, as the vnice
ot many waters, ~ the voice OF mighty
lhunderings, saying, Gnd save the Ameri-
can Republic. Ia these echoes thai come
to our ears from every quarter of the globe
we hear no uncertain sound. 1t is the cry
Of suffering humanity for freedum--fOr lie
preservation of country where no party
or secl, or individual can abridge or tram.

THE sENTINEL's ANXIETY.

ED. JoURNAL:-Someo one made great
mistake last week in putting concentra-
ted" for "conceited in the sentence
" Draw concentrated Connected il should
be-of course) and shallow pated fellow,
&c." Concentrated has very little
meaning in such connection. In fact
the qualities expressed by the terms con.
centrated" and shallow-pated are in
compatible, in other words, cannot exist
together in the same individual.
My object however, in writing This week
is not 80 much to make correction
rs to show up the moral OF that fable in
another way. This mOral-oi ceurse-is
that people who try TO act beyond their
capacity or out OF their element are apt to
do or say some very foolish things, ESeIs
illustrates this also in the manner he urges
the election Of the Republican nominee for
County Commissioner. lie seems TO de-
vote his whole energy to pressing forward
his iavUrie or the one who is most likely
to teed the Sentinel. He does this with so
much stress and with such hutter and anx-
iety that his real motives become apparent
TO the dullest perceptions This would be
all well enough if Evers were friendly to
the interests of the tax-payers-for, of
course, no one blames him for looking to
his own interests. But rs he il known to
be the mere spokesman OF selfish ring
and therefore hostile TO the interests OF
taxpayers, all his efforts to elect his fa-
v0rlte means simply that said lavorite is a
ring candidate, which circumstance alone
is sufficient to condemn him in the eslima-
ton OF most voters. Hence in putting his
pet nominee, he is apt to produce an effect
the reverse. of what he (Evers) intends
so that should Mr. Stafford he elected
at all il will not be through the indu-
ence of the Seniiaei.

ED. JOURNAL Certain writers in the
Sentinel are repeating the old story in try
ing to prove that under the modern plan
of constructing bitches and improved roads
our commissioners have effected ga great
saving to taxpayers" This theory as
often as it has been exploded-they
stick to with sort of desperation. 1t
seems almost idle to repeat the answers
which have been made to the false doctrine
in question-but it may be well enough to
show here briefly why wor k on bitches, &C.,
is sold so much lower now than formerly.
The work under the present system being
sold in half mile sections to the low
est responsible bidders has greatly increased
the number of contractors--men who
thought ditching more profitable than
farming or other kinds of occupation The
result was proportionate increase of COM
petition among those who took contracts
and this competition was carried TO
such AN extent that some contractors could
hardly make enough to pay expenses.
But ei'o estimated CUst or constructing
bitches and improved roads Is made be-
fore the work is sold, and the whole amount
and frequently more-is collected of the
parties assessed, and here is precisely where
nIiS NiS IA" Slh lol CVtctu gTdOS comes IN.
The question asked everywhere among tax
payers is-what becomes of the difference
or surplus (nearly one-half of the whole es-
timated cost iter the contractors are paid.
Evers once promised to explain on I'm
proved Road 1S-but nothing has been
forthcoming so lar-why? Because he
dare not explain. But while these gentle
men (our commissioners, &c., are 80 eager
and ready to run the contractors profits
down to the lowest figures the question is
asked by all-why not apply the same
principle in letting the County Printing !!
If however they are not willing to save the
taxpayers one half the money now paid
out 10 do the said County Printing
which saving can be done without viola
ting the laws of the State-how can they
have the face TO tell the people of Wood
county that their illegal transaction in
negotiating those Bonds was done on the
ground of necessity or public economy

A FORLoRN HOPE.


Alas, alas, said Thomas Ewing,
There's world OF trouble brewing
Crops Of every kind are thriving,
business Of all kinds reviviug,
Everybody looking cheerful
Such a state Of things is fearful.
Vain is Democratic CANNON
Without bankruptcy aud famine.
If the times keep on improving,
Aud the wheels Of trade keep moving,
As at present they ara doing,
We are lost, sighed Thomas Ewing.
Much as has been taken from us,
There is no hope left, said Thomas

Things may yet be partly righIed.
Let as pray, then, friends, remember.
For hard frost in September.

We are totally habbergasted,

FParrully Scared. We learn from Mr..
JAS. CAvANAUGH that while himself and
seven others were eating dinner in the
woods, Just back of the DR.. KNIGHT farm
ON Tuesday. hey heard frighlful screams
from a woman in the direction of Mr..
julius residence, about so rods distant.
They dropped everything and ran to the
house. On reaching the residence of Mr..
julius they found his wife so terribly
frightened that she could scarcely at first
explain what was the matter. She finally
succeeded in making them understand
that large brown animal, which from the
description she gave must have been u bear,
came up the road and was making directly
for her fonr year old child which was play
ing in the road. She uttered piercing
scream and the animal halted for mo-
ment. Ii again started for the child when
the mother set up fearful scream, ran
aud grabbed the child and retreated for
the house. Fooled in getting its prey the
animal showed Its teeth and turned and
started off for the woods, knocking two or
three rails off the fence in climbing over.
The party, in company with the husband
who had also ran TO the house on hearing
tire screams, started in pursuit through the
woods with guns and two bull dogs.
As the dogs could not run a trail the party
returned TO their work after two hours
fruitless search, without any bear meat for
supper

Sud and Painful Accident.-We find
the following particulars in the Evening
Becof Wednesday, conce rnrng sad mis-.
hap to our esteemed citizen, Mr.. JOSEPH
BRowNsBERGER, in which his arm was
terribly crushed and jaw fractured by his
team running away while in that city;
Joseph Brownsberger, who resides on
the Pike, between Perrysburg and Wood
vile, came to the city this morning after a
load OF shingles, and having obtained
them, started homeward, and was going
down Oak street, between Summit and
Water, about l o'clock this afternoon
when his horses ran away.
Mr.. Brownsberger was thrown off and
the wagon ran over him, crushing his left
arm between the shoulder and elbow, his
lower jaw was broken, and he probably re-
ceiyed other injuries. The wagon was
turned bottom upward as the horses turned
on Water street toward Cherry, and the
team was stopped.
The injured man was placed on lounge
in No. Oak street, and Drs. Bergen and
Woods called to attend him. He suffered
greatly, and was moaning with pain when
our reporter left at 2:30.
Mr.. BrOwnsberger is probably over so
years of age. His father and Mrs. Myers,
his sister who reside in East Toledo and
Mr.. John Farley, his brother-in-law, were
at once notified, and We're attending to his
wants.

left here on Wednesday, September Sd, and
on the following Monday night, about 10
o'clock, when within two hours ride of
Leadville the coach was suddenly brought
TO halt and three men made their ap-
pearance. The coach contained four male
and three female passengers, and as the
passengers of the same coach had been
robbed at this same point bat a few nights
previous, the gentlemen had placed all OF
their valuables with the ladies for safe
keeping, and being well armed stationed
themselves at the windows to give the
robbers warm reception. 1t is supposed
that the driver of the coach had an UNDER
standing with the robbers, and being
aware oil the situation within the coach
held some conversation with the midnight
prowlers and they beat a hasty retrea t, al
lowing the coach to pass on unmolested.
1t is unnecessary to Say that the lady pas
sengers were frightened.
