Rough and tumble was the style of those back-woods fights. The combatants were allowed to strike, kick, choke, bite or gouge-anything to whip. The "code" would not permit any one to interfere until one of the fighters called " enough." Upon that word being pronounced, if the victor did not at once desist, the bystanders were bound to close in and part them. It was a long, powerful, and bloody contest, but the traveler was compelled at last to call "enough."
After the combatants were washed and dressed, whisky was handed around, and the parties drank as friends, when the new-comer remarked, that there were as good men on the Hocking as he wanted anything to do with, and he believed he would settle there.
FINANCES OF LANCASTER.
In an old copy of the Ohio Eagle, published in Lancaster, and bearing date of June 9, 1827, I find the following state-

ment of the receipts and disbursements of the corporation for two years, viz. : from April 20, 1825, to April 23, 1827, inclusive. The statement was in tabular form, showing the sources from which the income was derived, and for what disbursed. The income consisted of taxes collected, and for licenses for shows and exhibitions, thus :

In contrast with the above, is the annexed statement, taken from the County Treasurer's books, showing the receipts and disbursements of the corporation for two years, just fifty years later. The difference in the gross amount of the receipts and disbursements measures the growth of the place. Thus :

During the two former years the corporation paid Thomas Ewing, then a young lawyer practicing in the place, $5.00 for legal services. During the latter two years the legal services of attorneys cost the aggregate sum of about $1,000.
The population of Lancaster in 1876 was about 7,000; and in addition to the assessment of taxes above shown, it supports ten churches, at an annual cost, including building and repair- ing church edifices, Missionary and Sunday-school collections, and all other incidental church expenses, of not less than $15,000. These two general items of cost to the people living within the incorporate limits of the town are not all of the public assessment. Within the last few years the town has erected two school buildings, at an aggregate cost of about $80,000. Within these buildings free schools are kept up ten months in the year. For sustaining these schools and paying interest on bonds sold to build the school-houses, the levy for 1876 was $25,566.29. The number of teachers employed in 1876 was twenty-two, and one Superintendant, besides one col-

ored school supported from the same fund. The boundaries of the incorporation are two miles square. There is likewise a Catholic school, including a majority of the children of that de- nomination, amounting to two or three hundred. This school is sustained entirely by private funds.
PUBLIC SQUARE OF LANCASTER.
What is denominated the Public Square in Lancaster, is loca- ted at the crossing of Main and Broad streets, the streets cut- ting it into four equal parts. The ground was deeded to the city forever by the original proprietor, Ebenezer Zane, for pub- lic purposes alone. The deed is said to be so drawn, that, should the square, or any part of it, be diverted to any other use than that of county and city purposes, such diversion would work a forfeiture of the title to the heirs at law of the donor. The first Court-house was built on this square, in the center of the present Broad street, in about the year 1806, and was re- moved by order of the County Commissioners in 1863. At present the square is occupied by the old market-house, which was built in the year 1824, as near as can be ascertained, the City Hall building, containing the Mayor's office, Council- chamber, Post-office, Odd Fellows' Hall and Engine-house and two small parks.
CARPENTER'S ADDITION.
That part of Lancaster known as Carpenter's Addition, begins with the south side of an alley, sometimes spoken of as Car- penter's alley, which, beginning at the canal on the western border of the city, runs a due east direction to High street in front of the Methodist Church. This alley is situated half way between Jail and Walnut streets. All that part of the city lying south of Carpenter's alley is properly Carpen- ter's Addition. Mr. Carpenter was known in his day as Eman- uel Carpenter, Junior. (In the original plat, this alley was called Jackson alley). He gave three lots on the east side of High street, to be used for church and burial purposes. The north division of this gift is that on which the Methodist Church edifice now stands ; the middle division belongs to the African Methodists, upon which they have erected a commodious frame church ; and the south division has been used by the city for

opening Walnut street. All the ground in Carpenter's Ad- dition, extending now as far as Maple street in front of Hun- ter's residence, belonged originally to Zane's tract, though Carpenter's Addition at first lay west of High street, that part lying between High and Maple streets having been sold to par- ties as out-lots, and since subdivided and sold as town-lots.
The Zane tract, one mile square, begun on the north side of what is known as Lundy's Lane, on the south front of the Fair- grounds at the foot of Mount Pleasant ; its eastern boundary was Maple street ; its southern line passed from a point a few rods west of the present residence of Thomas White, Esq., on Koontz's hill, thence west past Giesy's mill to the west line, to intersect the north line, and embraced what is now the resi- dence of G. Mithoff. Other
ADDITIONS
To Lancaster might be mentioned, but they all come within the Zane tract, except that part formerly known as East Lan- caster, and which has recently been annexed to the city proper, and constitutes the Fifth Ward. A portion of East Lancaster was formerly known as the Bank addition, the old Lancaster Ohio Bank having laid off and sold the first lots. The
NEW COURT-HOUSE
Was erected, or rather completed in 1866, it having been in progress of erection about three years. The total cost of the building was about $150,000, though the act of the Legislature authorizing the levy for that purpose was but $100,000. The work, however, was completed, and the balance cheerfully paid by the tax-payers. The building stands on the north side of the Catholic Church ; it is built entirely of sand-stone taken from the quarries in sight of the city, and is probably one of the best constructed and arranged Court-houses in the State. It contains all the county offices on the first floor, except the Clerk's office ; on the second floor is the court-room, jury-rooms and the Clerk's office. The basement is used for the heating apparatus, the Janitor's residence, and storage rooms. From the roof, or balustrade, which, by the courtesy of the Janitor, is accessible to visitors at all times, the Hocking Valley and surrounding country is seen for many miles, presenting one of
36

the most picturesque and beautiful views in Ohio. From it trains can be seen coming and departing on the railroads for many miles. The
COUNTY JAIL
Stands on the north side of Chestnut street, between Broad and High. It is one of the best jails in Ohio. Its front is a two-story brick residence, and is used by the Sheriffs success- ively. The prison is of sand-stone, also two stories, and joins the brick in the rear. It was built between the year 1840 and 1850.
FAIRFIELD COUNTY FINANCES FOR THE YEAR 1875, ENDING SEPTEMBER 1ST, 1875.
Total taxes for the year, including school fund, $228,306.44.
Total expenditures same year, $252,855.50; leaving a balance against the treasury of $14,569.06.
The above gross sum of receipts, as shown by the Auditor's books for 1875, was levied on the respective townships as fol- lows. In regarding the amounts, however, it is to be borne in mind that they are not to be taken as correctly representing the relative wealth of the townships, because the rates of tax- ation were more or less various :

FAIRFIELD COUNTY IN 1806.
There are no records found in the Auditor's office to show that anything like a regular system of taxation was estab- lished in the county earlier than 1806. At that time the

boundaries extended far beyond their present limits, and it is difficult now to define the outlines. The reader is therefor referred to the laws of Ohio establishing new counties, by which Fairfield has been contracted to its present area. These laws can all be found in the State Library at Columbus, but they are altogether too voluminous for the plan of this work. I am not aware that any changes took place between 1800, when Fairfield was established by proclamation by Gov- ernor St. Clair, and 1806, to which year we are now referring. I find, however, that in that year there were three townships not now in existance, viz .: Clinton, Licking and Thorn, and that there are now three townships not then in existance ; these are Violet, Liberty and Walnut. There have also been two townships principally stricken from the southern borders of Fairfield within the last thirty years, and attached to Hock- ing county ; these were Auburn and Perry, for particulars of which, please see laws. Thorn township lay at the north-east corner of the county, and has since been attached to Perry County ; Clinton and Licking lay on the north.
From the assessment of 1806, as recorded in an old book before me, I here transcribe a complete list of the names of the tax-payers then living in the county, alphabetically, and by townships, by which they are rendered of easy reference. By an early law of Ohio, houses were at that time assessed for taxation separate from real estate, the lowest limit of which, I think, was one hundred dollars.
The sums paid in that year for every species of property by each person varies on the list from eight cents to $17.72}, which latter amount was paid by Rudolph Pitcher, of Lancas- ter, whose house, standing on Main street, a few doors east of Shawk's alley, and on the south side, was appraised at $2,500, and seven lots at $1,407. The next highest tax-payer was David Rese, whose assessment was $13.00. A few in Lancas- ter paid ten dollars; but by far the largest number in the county paid less than a dollar. But in no township, outside of Lancaster, was more than four dollars paid by any indi- vidual. The gross sum of the assessments for that year was $1,011.64}.
Further in the same old book is found a tabulated state- ment of the collections and disbursements for the county un- der the following heading :
38
