The Willoughby Gazette has been pur-
chased by Mr. Merrill, formerly of the
Painesville Telegraph, who Will take pos
session the first of April The Gazette has
been during the past year or so a Butler
Greenback organ, edited by the venerable

came to Ashtabula some years ago and
tried to be a Democrat and published the
Ashtabula JefersOnian. After about ,one
years experience he gave up the enterprise
and tried journalism in one or two other
places, changing his politics each time,
He finally returned to Willoughby and re-
vived the Willoughbv Gasetts as a Green
back organ. We expect he will start an
anti-Chinese organ next.
"A subscriber, away of among the

from the conversation we have heard, i
seems to be the wish Of many 70 n call an

of politics, as was done last spring. Th
three members of the Council who ste
down and out-Messrs. Fisk, Butler an
Randall-have made good officers, AM
they go out with more friends than is tn

are safe in saying that none -Of these gen
