MaiTAar CoMMiTfia ?oa Oaio Couhty.?A meeting of several leading citizens was held last Saturday afternoon at the Governor's room iu the Linsley In atitute building, and the preliminary steps were discussed and matured for the for mation of a Citizens' Military Committee. The business of this committee is to be to supervise and forward in every necessary and proper way the filling of Ohio county's quota under the late call of the President of the United States. A part of its pro gramme will be to send out agents to proper points where there are persona de siring to enlist, and to do all things needful to give wide publicity to the inducements offered by the county for volunteers. A portion of its labor will be to raise the ne cessary funds wherewith to pay these agents and to meet other incidental ex penses. The following gentlemen com pose the Citisens' Military Committee, vii: j A. Metcalt, Thos. Hornbrook, Dr. Logan, John K. Botsford, Henry K. List, John E. Wilson, Morgan L. Ott and Alex. Laughlin. This Committee will commu nicate daily by telegraph and otherwise with its agents, and will meet daily to compare returns from them, so as to be able to know exactly when the quota of the county is full. The business is now in good shape and in proper hands, and it will be put through between this and the 5th of September if we are not much mistaken. j^-Somb days ago, Mr. Thomas Horn brook, in pursuance of many similar acts of kindness, and care, and generosity uni formly practiced by him towards the sol iiers, ordered us to send to the Post Hos pital here, ten copies of the Intelligencer n order that the convalescents might have iome news wherewith to solace their weary ioars.

The price of canned jeaches has been very little higher, hith .rto, than that of canned tomatoes, corn >r Lima beana. To put them in the market it the present prices of sugar would be a natter of very' questionable profit. All his is bad for fruit growers. If anybody iaa reaaon to give backhanded blessings o the gamblers in gold, it is these people, n consequence of the high prices of sugar eaches will be a drug in the market. Carts uden with them are going about the courts nd alleys of Philadelphia, and the very loorest people are enjoying them to sa iety. The fruit is not large, for the Irought has robbed it of succulence, but ts abundance was never greater. House teepers, when sugar is thirty cents a pound, :anuot afford to preserve them, and the jeach crop of '61 will be consumed almoat ?ntirely iu a natural state.
