him this way again, they will stand good
chance OF losing the rest OF their followers
in Benwood. As an evidence OF this fact,

cooper shop at noon on Saturday: Garfield

DR.. ]. M. ToDD has a copy Of the Vicks-
burg miss. Citizen, dated July 8, 1868,
framed and hung up in the postoffice at
Bridgeport. The paper teens with rebel
utterances, among which we noticed in
one corner deiances to the Yankees under
Gen. U. S. Grant, who at that time were
besieging Vickaburg, and asserting the in.
tention Of the besiegedt to hold out until
thelast ''yaller dog" was eaten but later,
in heavily loaded postscript editorial,
says, "the garrison has capitulated and
Grant will eat his Fourth Of July dinner in
this town." The Doctor prizes this paper
highly and regards it as one Of his treas
ures.
