A REMINIscENcE OF WEBsrER's REPLY
TO HAYNE.-James Watson Webb writes
as follows to the New York Times: I
have just read with pleasure your notice
of the late John Gales, SO long the vet
eran of the press, and of his accomp-
ished and estimable widow, recently de-
ceased. You mention the fact that Mr..
Gales reported Mr.. Webster's great
speech in reply to Hayne, in relation 20
which the following incident, stated to
me by Mr.. Webster and confirmed by
Mr.. Gales, may be of interest: 81 had
importance which would be attached by
tae public to my reply to Mr.. Hayne,
and was not in the habit, up to that
period, of making full notes, as at pres
ent. Consequently, when my friends,
with great unanimity, demanded the
publication of the speech, was quite
unable to crafty them. had observed,
however, that during the delivery of the
speech my friend Gales had taken notes
of it, and applied to him to know if he
could aid me. He expressed his regrets
that had not made the application
sooner, and added that he did take full
notes of the speech, but it was in short
hand, and unfortunately he could not
decipher his own shorthand after an in
terval of few days. Of course I was
annoyed and felt that the speech was
lost, just when the public, by their ap-
probation of it, had made me appreciate
it. Mr.. Gales perceived my annoyance,
and said, TT has frequently occurred
that, when I could not decipher my
shorthand notes. Mrs. Gales could.
Give me your brief notes and I'll place
them with my full shorthand notes in
the hands of Mrs. Gales and see what she
can do for us. The result is my pub
lished speech in reply to Mr.. Hayne,
which had not estimated very highly,
but which now consider one of my best
efforts. It's preservation is due solely to
Mrs. Gales"

TRAGIC LOVE STORIES. What place
Rome is for sad love stories. Here is the
last. A young workman on railway
was about to get married. The very day
before that set apart for the wedding he
was run over by an engine and killed.
No sooner did the girl hear this than she
laid herself down across the tracks with
the hope Of being killed in her turn. But
she had only an arm crushed. The arm
had to be amputated, and she bore the
operation like soldier. She told the
surgeons all the while that it was no use,
that she could not live now that her lover
was dead. They gave no heed to such
rawlings. When nobody was looking she
removed the bandages and bled to death.
Here is an American story to match it.
Miss Lily George, pupil of the Cincin-
natl College of Music, aged 18, was to be
married to Fred. Ferriman. Saturday
morning he was taken with congestive
chills, and died in the evening. She at
tended him faithfully during his illness,
and before he died said: Goodbye,
Fred, we will not be separated long"
Sunday morning she placed the muzzle
of pistol over her left breast and fired.
There was very little hope of her re-

Eds. Ttl:-Mr. James Selleck who died
in this township on the 26th ult., was one
OF the band of pioneers that have now near
ly all passed away. He was born in New
Canaan, Fairfield county, CT, in 1870, and
was married to Miss Polly Hoyt in 1913.
He moved to this town in 1915. He was
thirty days in making the journey, and was
accompanied by Capt. Henry Weble. In
speaking of this journey, We have heard
him express Il very earnest appreciation of
The difficulties that were surmouuted in
crossing the mountains by railroad. Mr..
Selleck and family lived in the old log
church, at the Center, the first season be
spent here, and suffered the inconveniences
of packing his things in close quarters every
Sabbath, for the pioneers were sure TO be
there L. attend meeting. The balance OF
the "a wears spent upon the farm where
death finally overlook him. After mar
ried life of % years his first wife died.
They had five children. In 1899 he was
married to Ruth Crowell, by whom he had
one son. In 1874 she died, and the care Of
the aged father rested upon his faithful
,laughter-Lucy. Three sons and the
allowed named daughter are still living.
The funeral services were conducted by
Rev. S. W. Streeter-the pioneer minister
of the long ago. Mr.. Selleek was the warm
friend of the slave. He was a well-known
capitalist, an original stOckholder in the
Geauga bank at Painesville, as well as banks
in our own county, and held $1,000 stock
in the A. Y. & P. Ry Co.

Eds. Tel:-There were three funerals in
town last week Thursday, rather an unus-
ual occurrence for us. They were Jesse H.
Wright, aged eighty-six; Mrs. Amanda
Hawley, aged seventy-eight; and little
son of Alanson Gary, said to be in the Sec
ond year Of his age.
The donation visit last Friday afternoon
and evening, for the benefit of Rev. S. w.
Streeter, was pleasant social gathering
and the receipts in cash, or its equivalent,
amounted to $500.
The lecture for the benefit of the Say
brook Local Circle of the C. L. S. c. by
the Rev. E. a. Simonds, of Rootstown, o.,
on Popular Amusements, has been post
poned indefinitely, on account of the sick
ness of Mr.. Simons.
Rev J. B. Hammond has rented his
place here to Mr. Fales, who is entitled to
the possession of the premises by the Goth
of March.
The cheese factory at the station, for
merly operated by P. P. ChamberIin, will
be run this year-so we are told-by Mr..
William Mead, of Trumbull, with the re-
fusal of the factory for three years, if all
parties are suited. We understand Mr..
Mead has offered to make cheese on the
Sabbath, if a majority of the patrons wish
it.
We hope that neither the patrons nor
Mr. Mead will think it advisable to do so,
for it has been many years since any cheese
was made on the Sabbath at this factory,
and at the two other factories, owned by
c. L. johnson and L. B. Brockett, it never
has been done anu never will he while un-
der their control. We know we do not
stand alone en- this question, yet If there
were no one else in this town thought so, it
would make no difference with our cunvic-
tions as to the necessity or desirabilitY Of
making cheese on Sunday.
We have no desire to say or do anything
to the prejudice of Mr.. Mead, or the inter
ests OF the factory in question and hope
whatever may have been said or not said
heretofore, this season cheese will be made
only six days in the week in all this town
