OD one occasion saw a man
wounded and another killed; one
lying under bis torn blanket asleep,
the other standing some distance
from the dead line.
A key to this murderous, inhuman
practice was to be found in stand
ing order at rebel headquarters,
that "any sentinel killing Federal
soldier, approaching the dead line,
shall receive furlough Of sixty
days while for wouuding ono he
shall receive furlough for thirty
days"
THIS order not only offered n
premium for murder, but encourage
cd tho guard in othor outragos, to
inhuman to relate in any civilized
community, against which wo had
no defence whatever.
Men innocent OF any intention to
infringe the prison regulations were
not safe when lying in the quite
of their blankets at night.

Andersonvillo, and there we're doz,
ems Of cases which l heard Of, sue

but the sharp crack of musket told
the murder Of another defenceless

Men becoming tired OF life COM
mittod suicide in this manner. They
had but to get under the dead line,
or lean upon it. and their fate was
sealed in death.
An incident OF this kind came TO
my notice or knowledge in July. A
New York soldier had tried to es-
cape once or twice, by which means
ho had lost his cooking utensils and
his blanket, and was obliged to en-.
dure the rain aud heat without pro-
lection, and to borrow, beg or steal
cooking implements, cat his food
raw, or starve. Lying in tho rain
often at night, followed by tho trop-
ical heat of day, was torture which
goaded him to desperation. Ho an-
nounccd his determination to die,
and getting over the dead line, was
shot through the heart. Ono can
not be constant witness to sucL
scenes without being affected by
them. | doubt not he saved him

That Town Hall.

The question of new Town Hall has
not been abandoned, only taking a rest.
On our late visit to Ashland we had the
pleasure of examing building for Town
purposes, one ofthe finest and most satisfac-
tory, we think, in Northern Ohio. 1t Is
made with large stage fitted with all
the modern appliances of curtains, scenery
ETC., for dramatic representation and ex-
hibitions of every kind. The floor inclines
toward the stage and it is seated with
opera chairs, semicircular in arrangement
divided into parquette and dress circle,
with gallery on three sides and seating the
same as below and will comfortably seat
1000 persons. The interior finish and
decoration is in beautiful style and the
building is not inappropriately named
"The Opera House" The building has a
basement the rear on level with an alley
and used for city offices and cooler"
The first floor fronting on and on q level
with Main Street, is divided into three
large store rooms and the two floors above
in front of the Hall is done off into offices
and hall we presume for Mayors, Court
and Election purposes. We should have
said at the outset that the building is of
brick, a very ornamental front with trim
mings of brown stone. The whole cost
complete $4,000 and the rented portions
bring S2,700 a year. We should not of
course need the store rooms and so one
story could be dispensed with and the
rooms in front used for offices would not
be needed. The first floor should be fin
ished for the Fire Department, with Court
room and offices for town and village pur-
poses in front. A room on second floor
with seating capacity exceeding the one
in. Ashland by two or three hundred, could
be built at a cost of $25, 1000 to $4,000, a
sum that assessed upon all the taxable
property of the township would be Il very
light burden The taxable property ofthe
township as now on -1he tax duplicate
amounts TO about 81 ,25OOOO, and tax of
$4,000 would be .O24 on The dollar. This
could, by issuing bonds be distributed
over four or six years and would scarcely
be felt by any one. We insist that the
expense is not in the way of this improv-
ment. The average cost would not be
over one sixth as great as to the individ-
uals engaged in building the Congregation
al and Methodist Churches.
Since this matter has been agitsted the
feeling in favor of it has been constantly
growing and there is but little doubt if it
were submitted to vote it would be car
ried by-a large majority

patronize my bar, nor do 1 invite any TO
partske of any of my drinks at all, as has

"Falsehood and fraud shoot up in every
soil, the product of all climes." Before /
had decided to place q bar in my house
threats were made by some of these "pro-
minent men" that if did place a bar in
my house II would be torn out-everything
broken up-take the law of me, etc. etc.
These prominent men" all profess to be
law-abiding citizens. Why do they not let
the law take its courses "Prominent
men" will not resort to mob-law, but will
attend strictly to their own business.

He speaks of :" lack of principle" One
who has been married and twice parted
with his better half, all within one year,
had far better look at home before he goes
abroad. He is the happiest, be he King
or peasant, who finds peace In his own
home" The Medina Gazette of June 10th
contains an editorial chasing the Union
Hotel as q model one. Men who are
travelling tell me, and others, that they find
the best accommodations here of any place
between Norwalk and Massillon. Does
not this speak for itself as regards the
