P. O. Address, College Corner, Ohio. Deacon Pettibone's Visions. Oracle Hill, Febru iry 2th -76.} Oneth Part. After slumbein anung the stolen vertues of three Congressmen and twu kruked postmasters in the Cap of our country fur the past six months, I Lev arrived at home tu find my descendents li via on Orakle Hill, overloukin our old home at Slabtown. With humility filiin my heart like the dyin skreine of a bob tailed rooster, I am thankful to be again allowed to brake in pece my own vine and tig tree. Arter a kissin the yung uns, and huggin my Cyrethinia Iladassa'a until the air of our happy dwellin rang with 17 of her hallerluyars, I asked about the politikal puis of Union county, when I war informed by my spouse thet a kalm hed bin existin fur sum rnunths, but thet one da last weke Sullivan, "Joe Miller and Baltz ililler kum ridin up and makin perlikular askins about the Dekon. Sullivan sed thet every hare of the Pettibene family was as dere to him az the smell of musk arter a hard days lite with a nest of pcle. cats. He thort the Dekon kuld giv him advis whether it wuld du fur Mike Stanton tu be made Cheernnin of the Central Committee, or tu send him tu the State Convention, as he was so well acquainted with the different lokalities of vir.e tliar, and wuld no donbt be well kalkilated to kepe the others frum sinin. Baltz sed he hed a nut tu krak and wanted tu help ete the kernel. He wanted a man run fur and elekted Sheriff who kuldn't ueether rede nor rite, fur he mite git tu be deputy insich akase. Ses I, old wuman, Baltz is as kunnin as a tearier pup, his speche as broad and peuetratin as a flat iron, while his penmanship wood discont the kurves on the track of the C. II. & I. Road. My spous sed thet then Joe Miller dismounted frum his mule and sed in ajentle whisper within my eve thet them ar fellers .vur a try in tu git on the blind side of our hul family, but thet I mite rely on him fur the hull hiternian vole and part nf the kuUered vote, pervidin he wur allowed by the Republican party tu rekonsile the grete konflikt between Jcrrold and Siade. If I am allowed tu do this and suksede, I am tu reseve a depty ship; but all the tarnal natur thet tharisin Slale semes to be sot agin Bill, and mv work of insifieashun is likely tu be attended with more diflikilties then klustered around tlie job of geltin Stivers redy fur a burnt oti'oriri sum yeres sens. Xow Mrs. Peuinone, 1 want yu tu hev the dekon, whin he kums hum tu advis iik-, and if he .ses the thing kant be did, why I'll just bile my taters over Wolvcrtin's lire and muk him sheriff tu spite the salune kepcrs. Wal, old lady, ses I, I M ill take much of his kase under advisrnent. I solisit all who wish tu hev sum politikal move visionised on, to send them tu me with thartru name and I wil du the best I kin fur all parties sartain." Last nite I hed a vision of the proseedings of the Republikan Conveushun, the parrott chatter, & the way they wanted tu run the nominashun this spring, with pen portrates of sum distinguished aktors. Until then I am piesantly. D. Pi:ttiboxe. If George "Washington was first in war. Ezra Crist is first in the Hardware business in Liberty, or any other place near. He has just received an immense stock of hardware, iron, nails, cultery, and house furnishing material, which he offers at wholesale or retail, at better, bargains than ever offered before. Every farmer in the land needs, atthe opening of each spring, to make some preparations that will insure him a successful cvop. In no one thing does success depend more, than in giving the ground a thorough plowing, and each farmer can best prepare and do this needed work by buying the Dayton Champion Plow, the best breaking plow-3 in the market, sold by E. Crist of Liberty.

Farmers don't forget to call on G. W. Adams while in town and examine his fine stock of dry goods and groceries. Bargains can be made in Peru Factory goods, woolens, &c. A fresh supply of best groceries &c. Hail! the joy Cheapness. John Pyle of Liberty has just returned from the city with a fresh stock of boots and shoes. He has a lot of ladies shoes of the latest styles which he will sell as low as can be bought in the city and no

humbug. These goods are manufactured from a pure article of leather and will wear. Call and examine his stock. The Centennial Boot. Long may our flag wave, but while she is waving we would like all to know that Ramsey & Bro. have just received a large and new stock of boots, pegged and sewed fine French calf, boxtoed and plain, which they are selling at a reasonable price. Remember that all their boots are warranted, and are the best we have seen in any market. Chronicles. Now it came to pass, that in the days of one Flint who tarried near the county ol Franklin, that he did become indebted to one Bake of Oxford, surnamed John. And John perceiving that Flint had gone oft iuto a path of rectitude in company with a sinner named John Barley Coin, did say unto himself, I will go to the house of one Flint and lay hold as urety on his four-footed beast which divideth not the hoof. And he likewise did so and placed the beast in the stable at Oxford. Now it came to pass at a certain hour of the day Flint went to Oxford, and being possessed of too much of Barley Corn's recklessness, entered the stable and unbound the animal, and without saddle, halter or bridle betook himself in hot haste Now it came to pass that one Kerwood surnamvd John, a large officer of small law, did rein him up a charger and pursued Flint nigh unto his dwelling and returned with the charger. Verily, I do say unto you all that quietness now reigns, and one Kerwood sits as he stands, and eats his meals from the mantle board, because of a hard ride and a hard saddle, you know. Liberty Items. The school is moving along, under the supervision of that Chief of Superintendents, Prof. Wood. A very pleasant leap year pnrty wms held at Sheriff Gould's last Saturday night. E.

Died a 7 o'clock last Saturday rveniHsr, Chas. Cocke fair, born in Westminister England, young, talented and ambitious, leaving a life policy in the hands of a Lotus girl on his life. We lament, because he only dyed his burnsidps. The handsomest man in town is the flinsrer of lightning depot, and the girls do say is incomparable. Some little excitement at the his wit anions candidates on the streets last Saturday. Ad Ilaworth, of Lightnning Calculator fame, now teaching school in Billingsvillc, was on our streets last Saturday with his usual amount of heavenly smiles. Some few sleighs on the tteets last Friday. It is all a mistake about Hany Fosdick marrying. He is studying Astronomy through a raised window in his father's mansion every night. Ezra Crist can beat Charley Thompson on a yarn. The Republican Convention was largely attended last Saturday. Jim Imtnell is talked of as a candidate fcr matrimony. Here's our 27 Jim.

He sold the first goods ever sold over a counter in Fairfield. His friends were many and his eremies few. He had served more than the alloted period of years in the battle of life and leaves behind him a record which any man might well be proud to say at the close of life, such" has been inv life too'

Reported for the Corner Stone. OXFORD TIMES. BY X. News scarce! Miss Nannie Dewitt of Springfield, Ill, is visiting her brother in this place. Mr. C. C. Holbrook is lying danerously ill. Mr. John C.

A rousing revival is in progress at the colored M. E, Church. A nice assortment of hats and caps at Colter's. Agnes Brereton a "nate Irish lady,"' was arrested for drunkenness Sunday noon. This makes the fourth time only. The Union School examinations were very interesting last week. They showed successful labor by both teachers and pupils. All the school needs is more encourage ment, by visitors. She looked the neatest with a dress made ironi goods purchased' at Colter's. Mr. L. E. Grennan will deliver a lecture near McGonigles next Fridaj- evening entitled "Twins." A Ladies Christian Association has been organized in our village.

Mr. Malcolm Ritchie and lady have taken room's at his mother's residence, on Main St., and propose remaining in Oxford for a little time at least. The flnest display of dry goods and groceries is at Colter's at Oxford. It is ten o'clock young man, time to go home. Colter sells nothing but first class goods call and see him. College Corner girls visit Oxford over Sunday, and in the evening their Oxford fellow "drops in.' Are young gents (or old ones either) so scarce at the Corner as all that. College and Seminary have reopened for a new term. The boot that wears the longest, fits the neatest and is the cheapest found at Colter's.
