jaws and a part of the lower with three inches of solid wood where
the hole was. It had been about twenty years since he shot the
squirrel.

Bellville
A series of
temperance meetings have been held with the object in view of
electing a dry council at the spring election. There are two
saloons here, if they are voted out the money they pay into the
treasury will be lost to the town, while past experience here shows
the usual amount of drunkenness through prescriptions to the drug
stores. As far as I can remember the drug stores flourish while the
saloons are gone. Last year the saloons here carried on as
wholesale houses, and will probably do the same next year, if voted
out. If this is done the town treasury will get no more from them
in taxes.

Darlington
On the 6th
just, the neighbors of Samuel Paxton celebrated his 80th
birthday anniversary at his home. One hundred and twenty-five of
them honored him by their presence, because he has always honored
himself by a pure and well ordered life. It was a regular
love-feast as well as a feast of fat things The friends of Mr.
Paxton exercised their good gifts by subscribing $40.95 of which
$27.82 was expended for clothing, including full suit, under shirt,
overcoat, hat and shoes, also a fine dress for his wife, who is one
year his senior, the remainder being handed over in cash. These
gifts were presented in behalf of the company of J. L. VanBuskirk,
and accepted by John Steel, Esq., in eloquent and fitting language,
“All went merry as a marriage bell.” Each one vied with the other
in efforts to make the occasion pleasant for their aged friend In
the evening the young folks held a social entertainment which was a
grand success, rich in music and in joy. In fact Hagartown never
saw or enjoyed a better or a brighter day. Mr. Paxton was born in
Franklin county, Pa., ten miles northwest of Chambersburg and is
well acquainted with the country in which the great Gettsyburg
battle was fought. He moved with his father when eight years of age
to Cumberland county where the family lived seven years then moved
back to Franklin county. At this youthful age, he began to drive a
team transporting goods from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh and from
Baltimore to Wheeling, W. Va., and Dandridge, Tenn. He visited Ohio
in 1840, and moved from Pennsylvania to Woodbury, Morrow county,
Ohio, which place he reached May 21, 1844, and has resided in this
section of the state since, farming and teaming, some of his
experience being to move three families to Indiana, and take a drove
of horses to Pennsylvania. His has been a busy and useful life, and
as he nears the sunset time where the shadows of evening gather,
full of years, and loved by all who know him, we all wish him many
more birthdays full of blessings and joy.
