ANBWERII 'Fp QUESTIONS
*as. S o goes. 4th, The solving of

of something a little beyond the or

as we anticipated, received a number
incorrectssf sqlutipos, gmong which

We are glad however that they made
Site attempt, and hope they will try
again.' The assumptions made in thesO
twig :re.sulutlons were very natural,
sad, in fact we did not notice the er
ror at firbt ourselves. Meridians how
aver do not run upon s. plane, but
izion a sphere; therefore tbe figure
iacludod between them is not like a
triangle, upon a m ptane, for the convey

increase toward the poles. To obtain
the length, of a degree, in miles, at any
intermediate point, involves a propor

here near the. Southern part of the

have not time to describe them.. Suf.
fine it to say, the axle of our tender
broke four miles. math of Canton,
which detained us two hours before
starting on, and as our new locomotive
had to back to Williamsport, forty-four
miles, wo lost another hour. Then,
beans° we were. out of time, we Were
obliged to give the road to the other
trains, and to wait four honrs and a
half at the Summit, thirty-two - miles
West of Port Clinton, at which place
•We arrived at . half past three this

which detained us an hour and a quar

DEAR READERS : lielgyl/1I1;y b . tifni;t3 .7
you a copy of the Petifibq of T. Ives,
Thomas B. Tylif.,l%lllei Whi;e, 'F. W.
, .
Knox, and other citizen,/ of oni. court-
ty, asking the.Legislziture to deprive.
John G. Acqhee Of.* seet to which
be has been elected by the people of
our district,•and.tu give his, seat ti►
John B. Bock, whom a majoTit,i-of.tho
. .
legal voters havjsrequested to stay at
boipe
. . .
The reasons set forth in this dotu
trient for Making Mr: Beck a member
iu defiance of the fairly expro:ised will
of the people, are haled on false state
nients.; and the men . signing It knew
they . were - false, or they didtnot knew
any thing about what 'they .wero sign
ing. Either horn ..of this dilemma
places thins in rather an • awkward
position ; and us I presume Messrs.
Ives,. Tyler, and Knox, ane chiefly.
responaible for this presentation, of this
untruthful petition. to the Legislature,
I ask them individually and collective
ly,.how they Came to assert that the
election in Sharon township was held
in the " Sharon. Center " instead inf
theLe Roy ,school house, when it f
. is
notorious that the election was held in .
the .Le Roy school house, and when
there is no lichool house in said town
ship known as.•the Sharon Center. * I
suppose these men allude to the new
school house built in the place of the
old Le Roy school house which was
abandoned two years ago. If they
do, luo came they to assert that it is
" about one mile " from the old build-,
ing, when in fact it is just one hundred_
and forty rod: from it—considerably
less than ha Y . a mile t•
Again I ask. them hew they came to
assert that the election was at the
new school house " contrary to the
wish of many of the citizens of said
township, of which nOtice at the time
was _given to the election officers."
The election officers assert Mat no
such notice was ever given to them, and
I call upon the men who signed this
document, to make good their state
ment, or stand before the public con
victed of a falsehood Which has caused
much trouble; and put the State to a
heavy bill of Costs.
As Lewis Wood has made affidavit
to the truth of the facts set forth in .
the petition, he can 'probably florae
the Persriti or persons who gave the
notice to the election officers..
People of Putter county, this peti
tion is characteristic of the men who
got it up, and of the party of which
they are leaders. Examine it, and
say whether you will entt ust them
with your official business. .1. S. M.

A few nights ago, When svearran

a moment the lessons'that are, there
taught to fallen man. The tall, thite
marblo• glistening in the moonlight,
seemed like sentinels guarding As
homes of the dead. while the ■otte
that was borne oil the face of esti.
served to recall our thoughts -frog
earth tp Heavea. List fora mornant
to the language they speak, "Coma
Home" . is engraveti.on one, and On!
how potent is the spell- of tho s e magic
words come home.". Mourning Pa.
rent, thy little one still speaks to that
and bids thee still the wild pupation of
thy aching heart, and rierhapi to come
tl
home, home to (laver), And thot
semis of unseen s irite are whispering
to ItS in 'angel tones, '''come home wea

has been prepared for you by your
Father in Heaven. Another was "We
have loved you.on earth,may we race
you in peace." Beautiful indeed is the
wish here expressed, and-as we read
wa cannot forbear wiihing that we
might behold the reunion of those fnn
