Line, of Biookville; Judge Gilmore, of the Ohio Supreme Court; B. F. Clay-pooi and \Y. \V. Thrasher.Not the least interesting feature of the meeting was thj collection of relics exhibited in the hail in the morning and displayed from the stand with a running commentary by B. F. Claypool in the afternoon. Among them were a bible nearly two hundred years old contributed by Lew Ludlow, and one printed 181 years ago, before Sir Isaac Newton was born, and iu the days of William Penn. This had been the property of Uncle Johnny Morgan, who died recently at his home near Falmouth. About sixty-five years ago a girl in North Carolina spun some cotton and made from it a chest cover. She was on hand last Thursday in the person of grandmother Rachel Hackleman and with her tin; chest cover aud some bed linen, about the same age, all in good preservation. A jortrait of Dr. Bradburn, the chief character in the celebrated tragedy enacted near Harrisburg one night years ago, attracted a good deal of attention. An affidavit for the recapture of a fugitive slave, “Jim,0 who had escaped from Josiah Thrasher, a Kentucky gentleman, was read under date of 1828. The “Jim” aforesaid is now a well-to-do land* owner of this county, James Vanhorn.Beside the**'-, there were antiquated plows, looking-glasses, dishes, utensils for preparing flax, and other articles that had came down from the last centurv.The crowd was estimated all along be-r.iv#»t*n fnnr lwontv thousand. AKellie, out no cook t»iove. a didic ana tome bcqooi books, added to some furniture of home make, almost completes the picture. The active men and women here to-day were borp and reared iu just this kind of place. Our streams were bridgeless, our commerce had neither turnpike* or railroads, pur business was none without telegraph and we talked without telephones, and when you take a survey of your sarroundings—tbc present generation, your offspring, your rich and beautiful farms, villages, cities and their manufactories, together with all your mwral, t**cial and religious advantages, don't you think that we did well, aud won’t you join me in the wish that our children may do even better?Below we givt* si list of citizens who have resided in the county fifty years or more :roi.VMfcjA t»»wxssitir.J«hn A White and wife Charles StephensJames Limpus an t w ifeJulia ConnerT.
