be bought of your home merchant for 50

money.
Our late unplensantness, concerning the
division of the township, came finally TO
vote for conso'idalion-yes and no
and we got beat just u little, yet in fact not

owing to the fact that our Trustees did not
proceed according To law.

had many ups and downs in life. lie To-
Gated in Fostoria over dozen years ago,
and 10y temperate habits, and frugal living,
he saved enough of his hard earnings 10
purchase snug little cottage, but alas |!
when he had just got to living and had a
| place to shelter him in his old age, he was
kicked out into the street without where to
lay his head. His rife, (if she could be
honored with that endearing name) in or
der TO get clear of him, went and swore he
had threatened her life and when the case
was called at Court he was on hand with
the best men OF Fostoria as witnesses, but
the noble (?) Judge wouldn't even give
a hearing, and gave her divorce and all
the poor old mans property. He came here
about II year ago, withholding but his tools
to commence life anew, although his age
was near three score and ten, and it would
almost make cloudy day bright to step
into the old mans shop and hear him sing,
Never give up when trials come down."
&c. He has left host of friends behind
him who wish him all the success imngin-
able. ALI.
