We clip the following from the last is
sue of the Jackson Co., HERALD, pub
lished by our Brother, w. G. Gould:
While in Chicago we met quite a num-
Der of old Democratic friends from Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Illinois and Indiana, in
attendance upon the convention. Our
friend ZEAMER, the able editor of the Car
Isle, Pa, Volunteer, was among the
number; also, Abner Dunlap, ESQ.,, of
Eaton, one Of the first men we became
acquainted with when we came to Ohio.
He paid us for the HERALD for one year
for "auld acquaintance sake.' He is one
of the solid men of Preb,e county, a ster-
ling Democrat of the Jacksonian stripe.
The people of his county lately started a
Bank in Eaton and elected him Presi-
dent, because of his sterling honesty and
popularity. Elisha Wilkinson, Of the
same county, was another rock-ribbed
Democratic farmer, and Joe Hollander,
one of the brightest young merchants Of
the town, who was in Chicago not sc
much to attend the convention as to basil
in the light of bewitching eyes and sunny
smiles of rosy cheeks. Joe, you are {
