MARCH WINDS.
The rude March wlndu, the trmd March wladi.
What a comical part they play t
How they bluster, and (totter, mid rave, and rear,
And knock at the window, and bang at tbe door.
In tha moat undigulfled way I
Unbidden toey enter tjie gardoQ (!
In cdJies, and wbdk, aifd whirls;
And as round the house they rnub, pell-mell,
Full many a ghostly tale they tell
To tb frightened boys and girls 1
The n,eree March wind, the wild March winds,
hat a chorus ofHfin sonnds
They make, tin they dart down the tieareat street
To Jostle the passpngers off their feet,
As they travel their daity rounds I
They pull nnd lug t fhe old mnn'i heard,
And redden the young man's nose ;
They tumble the apple-stands down In the snow,
Then whlatle and scream as off they go
To startle the belles and beaux I
The bold March winds, thecoM M ircli winds,
Thnngh they strike to our very bones
Vet the sweet Utile violets lift their heads.
And the daisies start from their wintry beds.
At the sound of the trumpet tones I
Yes, the rndo Marrh wind, the mad March winds,
Are the herald of 1ml my Spring,
Of the fragrant breath of the sum m or sweet,
The gulden Muom of therorn and wheat,
And the hrittlit birds on the wing 1

The Loss by not Taking a County
Paper.

4t
fx I
Generally spenkinfj, but little importnnce
is attftcliod to Ihe takintf of a county newH
pnper. ThiH neect nml inditl'erenco hud
iu practical rewurd the other day.
Some lime ago a gentleman in this town
was appointed an auditor to distribute ttie
funds in the hands of an administrator
atnongMt the creditors. Notice of the Hit
ting of the auditor was published iu two of
the county papers.
It so happened that a few creditors re
siding in a certain portion of the county,
who hatj claims collectively to the amount
or seven or eight hundred dollars, from the
neglect of tuking a county paper '"ver
hard of the audit until the report ot the
auditor bad been continued by the court.
They then came to town to inquire about
the "likelihood of securing their claims;
called upon an attorney, who examined
into the matter, and informed them that
they had forever lost their money ; and we
presume charged them five dollars for the
information. AU this resulted from being
too penurious or too careless to subscribe
for a county paper.
These gentlemen have learned a lesson
that will last them the balance of their
lives ; and it is a warning to others, who,
for the same motives, fail to take their
county paper.
There is scarealy a man in the communi
ty who will not tie caught up some day on
a legal notice, that does not take a paper,
unless he clandestinely reads his neigh
bor's ; and every gentleman should be
abovo literary pilfering like this. Ex
change. , Mr. Thomas Hubbard, of the Loan

of General Sheridan:.
"Who would be rhil Sheridan?
'Photography emblazons him n

the level of a beast ; his record datrms
him; history will, hang him in the
chains of infamy, and posterity will
execrate h'.z memory to the "latest
syllable of recorded time." .

Further Incidents of the First Settlement in
Fairfield Tp.—First Mill Erected by
Phineas Hast, on Hardin's Creek—Second
by Jacob Deals—Child Lost—First Burials
in Fairfield Burying Ground—First Meeting
House Wilt by the Friends—First
Marriages in the Township—Township Officers
Elected in 1806—Boundaries of
Fairfield in that Year, &c. &c.
We are indebted to our friend, Mr. J. R.
Ladd.for the subjoined additional incidents
connected with the first settlement of Fair
field Tp.
The first mill was erected in tins part of
the county in 1804, by Phineas Hunt, an
emigrant from North Carolina, who settled
on Hardin's Creek in 1803. The neighbors
all came out to assist Mr. Hunt iu the erec
tion of this mill, and for a mill-wright, the
services of Alex, Croffurd, at tho Falls of
Paint, were secured. This mill was built
little abovo, and near the present fiito of
Huffs old fulling mill, on Hardin's Creek.
It was known far nnd wide ; and did an
extensive business for the times. Not a
vestige of it now remains, to mark tho
place of its location, except a portion of the
old race, and a group of large sycamore
trees, that have reared thcinselves on the
old foundation. Previous to this, and dur
ing the dry season, the settlers had to go
to tho Falls of Paint for their milling.
A few years after this, Jacob Seals built
another mill on Hardin's Creek, two miles
below Hunt's, but not proving profitable,
It soon went to decay.
In 1804 a child was lost in the woods, on
the waters of Brush Creek. The whole
country was aroused to go in search of it.
Win. Wright, in company with four oth
ers, wont from the Hardin's Creek settle
ment to assist; but after several days
spent In a fruitless hunt, the search was
abandoned. Tho child could not bo found,
or any tidings of it. The supposition was
that It had been stolen by the Indians.
For a number of years afterwards, its
memory was cherished by a beautiful
poem which was euug Around many a log
cabin firo-plnw.
The first burial at the Fairfield burial
ground occurred in this year, (18G4) nnd
was that of a woman by tho name of Bal
lard. Thu second was also a woman by
the name of Britton. The ground now oc
cupied as a burial place was then covered
with a thick growth of spice wood and
hazel-brush. Into this they cut for the
distnnce of several rods, whero a grave
was dug, the body deposited and the grave
filled up. Whon this was done, her father
said, ''The young men will please gather
up those old logs, and make a pen around
tho grave." This was quickly done. Wm.
Wright was one of the young men who as
sisted in the performance of tho work.
Thq meeting-houfiO had not been built nt
this time, but tho arrangements had been
made; 'and it was shortly afterwards erect
ed. This was the first house built for wor
ship iu the Township, and was situated
abont one mile south of tho present site of
Tjeosburg, whore the large brick church
now stands. It was built by the Society
of Friends, out of round poles or saplings
and covered with large boards. Tho fire
place was made in the middle of tho house.
A lunre holo was left in the floor, which
was filled up with large stones nearly on
a level with tho Moor. On this foundation
n circular ring was made of clay mortar,
a couple of inches abovo tho floor. This
ring was filled with charcoal, making
beautiful fire, almost free from smoke,
around which the fathers nnd mothers of
that period congregated, to worship their
Heavenly Father in silent meditation.
The third burial at this place was that of
a child of Samuel Butler's in 100. The
grave was dug by W. Heathcock nnd
Benjamin Carr. Carr was then living on
the farm now owned by L. ('. Guthrie,
In the year 105 Jonathan Barrett, an
emigrant from Virginia, came out to Ohio,
and purchased the farm on Hardin's Creek,
owned by Nathaniel Pope. Pope then
moved to the Pope farm near RamaTitha,
and commenced a settlement, where bo

Locke is one of the many present won
ders of Washington. His presence on
the floor of tho House created as much
excitement as that of a triumphant gen

suggested to every observer that one
man's brain devoted to a good cause
can work incredible results. Mr.
Locke's genius has proved also that
while some destroy prejudice and vin

employing the weapon of wit nnd sa

never yet made a blunder in any one
of his letters. Lach points the moral

He was the true, tried and trusted friend of

We trusted him then infinitely more than the

again.

Wirirnxo iv Schooi-s Important De
crsio.v. Judge Warren, of the Police Court
in Cincinnati, a few days ago, fiwd at
teacher in one of the schools five dollar
for whipping a boy: A cotomporary give
the grounds of the decision as f dlowsi
The judge decided that the relation of
tli
teacher to the boy was neither judicial,
p:irMiial, nor that between master and ser
vant ; nnd the inference seems to be that
the right to punish did not exist. Tho re
was no claim that the punishment was ;x
cesrtive. Tho Judge thus concludes: "No
moral blame can attach to Mr. Marvin,
(the teacher.) He exercised what, under
the practice of a long line of predecessors,
ho conceiveu to oo ins undoubted rig hi.
The testimony, taken In connection with
tho high cnaractor of the defendant, la
dt as to preclude the idea of malice, and.
therefore, I am not called upon to InflicC
vindictive punishment. J he defendant
will pay a line of five dollars and costs."
This, decision, if sustained by other
Courts, would poon put a stop to whipping
in our schools; but we think it very doubt
ful w hether it will be sustained. We be
lieve that corporeal punishment Is alto
gether too frequent, both in schools and
families, nnd might be advantageously
substituted by milder forms of punishment
in a great majority uf cases, yet we are in
clined to think that it is sometimes neces
sary. But it should be resorted to rarely.
and only after all other means have failed;
and we believe this is now the practice of
tho wisest parents and best teachers.
