"And I hereby authorize and empower my said executors, the survivors or survivor of them, if they, or he, shall see proper to do so, at any time, to transfer and pay over to the said Trus- tees of the Putnam Classical Institute, the afore- said principal sum of ten thousand dollars, either before or after the investment thereof as

A portion of the interest of this endowment fund has been used by her heirs each year since 1846 or 1847 in obtaining and sustaining the "Buckingham Library," which now comprises over 3,000 volumes, and is located in a suitable room in the Institute building, and to which has been added a valuable geological cabinet, pre- sented by Colonel John W. Foster, at one time State Geologist of Ohio. The library and cabi- nent are for the benefit of the school, free of charge, and the citizens have access thereto for a small fee. The school is furnished with chem- ical and philosophical apparatus, microscopes, planetarium, and a large collection of maps and charts.
THE COURSE OF STUDY embraces a prepar- atory, academic and collegiate department, the latter including Latin. Special attention has been given to the arrangement and preparation for accomplishing the curriculum, concerning which the Principal, D. J. Evans, A.M., tersely says : "A ready command and accurate use of the mother tongue is the greatest intellectual benefit of education, and should be kept in mind in preparing men and women for active life ;" and, concerning French and German: "The literature of these languages combines the deep- est philosophy and the highest culture of the modern world, and a knowledge of them is in- valuable in giving depth to our language, breadth to our views and polish to our education. The course of Latin is of such extent as we deem necessary to good education, and aids to acquire the mastery of the English language." The en- tire course may be accomplished in the three years assigned. Of music, he says : "An ex- tensive course has been laid down and will be followed. The teacher possesses superior quali- fications-both a thorough knowledge of the art and a rare aptness to teach."
Our readers will not be surprised that the Prin- cipal of this school should give prominence to music, when they recall the names of Bach, Han- del, Gluck, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Weber, Rossini, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Schuman, and the grand army of composers that have clustered about these masters, and note with what majestic power they have swayed the world. These are classic names, indeed, spoken with rapture akin to reverence by every intelligent discerner of "the concord of sweet sounds." Hence we infer much when we learn that "an extensive course has been laid down and will be followed." For there is no fathoming Bach. A lifetime would not suffice to unearth all that he has left, and to understand it thoroughly. This, however, should not deter the lover of music from making an early acquaintance with the great master ; and to those who would do so, here is the advice of one far more capable of giving it than the present writer. .

Herr Pauer says : "I would advise all students to begin with the six small preludes, and after- ward to take the inventions for two parts. When the mechanical difficulties of these delicious little duets have been conquered, the fifteen sympho- nies for three parts may be attempted. The six French suites should come next, and after these the six duet sonatas for clavecin and violin, or those for clavecin and flute may be taken. Next I would recommend the six great English suites, and the charming partitas, the Italian concerto, the different toceatas. Only after such prepara- tion should the student begin the forty-eight pre- ludes and figures called 'The Well-tempered Clavecin.'" And, if such be the opinion of one of Germany's gifted sons, what shall we say of Handel ? Like a sweet refrain, the opinion comes : Of all those glorious names inscribed on the roll of Master Musicians, not one perhaps is more re- vered, or is more familiar to the people, either by his name or his works, than this great man, who has immortalized his name with the most grand narratives of Holy Writ. Nearly two hundred years have rolled by since he penned his heav- enly melodies, and yet they always come to our ears as fresh and welcome as spring flowers. What a preacher and poet ! What thousands of hearts must have been turned by histone-preach- ing ! Where is the prelate who can move our souls as they are moved by Handel's "Mes- siah?"
But the plan of this work will not permit more than the graceful presentation of historic truth pertaining to the country, and so we forbear any- thing more than a glimpse at the subject. Suf- fice it that no extensive course in music will de- serve the name, unless it embrace some knowl- edge of those authors.
The present teacher of music, Miss Emeretta Comstock, will doubtless lead her pupils through "many selections from these inspired authors.
The original Board of Trustees, with the ex- ception of the Rev. William Beecher (who is the only one now living), served as Trustees as long as they lived. The Rev. Addison Kingsbury, who succeeded Mr. Beecher as President of the Board of Trustees, served nearly forty years, and Mr: A. A. Guthrie, as its Secretary and Treas- urer, signed every diploma given, from its be- ginning until his death, in 1874. The vacancies that have occurred in the Board of Trustees have been filled from among the most prominent gen- tlemen of the city, the controlling influence being given to the representatives of those who founded the institution.
Until the fall of 1860, the affairs of the Institute were under the direct management of the Trus- tees, who employed teachers, paid salaries and bills, made up deficiencies, and generally aided the school. Since that time, they have given the use of the building and premises, without charge, and the entire control of the school, to the princi- pal teacher, the Board of Trustees retaining the powers vested in it, except duties devolving on the Principal as such, which are defined.
At the discretion of the Board of Trustees, a
portion of the Buckingham fund is used to pay the expenses of young ladies who could not oth- erwise avail themselves of the advantages of the school, and several, each year, have been thus favored.
Lectures on History, Science or General Lit- erature are given every year, in addition to the regular course of instruction.
The present Board of Trustees is composed of Rev. George F. Moore, President : C. W. Pot- win, L. Wiles, F. J. L. Blandy, Hon. H. J. Jewett, J. Buckingham, and Rev. A. Kings- bury, D. D.

The City Council of Zanesville applied to the County Commissioners for the privilege of an- nexing certain territory to that city. February 28, 1870, an ordinance was passed by the City Council of Zanesville, applying to the County Commissioners for the annexation of certain con- tiguous territory ; this ordinance described, by metes and bounds, south Zanesville, with all its additions. The County Commissioners met May 18, 1870, for the purpose of considering the act of Council, and granted their request.
June 1, 1870, a transcript of the proceedings of said County Commissioners was filed with the City Council, that being their next regular meet- ing. August 1, 1870, the City Council created the Seventh Ward of the city of Zanesville out of the territory above described.
PUTNAM ANNEXED TO ZANESVILLE .- At a meeting of the City Council of Zanesville, Feb- ruary 26, 1872, an ordinance was passed annex- ing the town of Putnamn to the city of Zanesville, and said ordinance, being submitted to the peo- ple on the first Monday of April, 1872, was ap- proved by a majority of their votes being cast in favor of it.
At a meeting of the City Council, held April 22,
1872, an ordinance was passed accepting the town of Putnam as an addition to the city of Zanesville ; and on the 6th of May, following, an ordinance was passed, constituting the said annexed territory the Ninth Ward of the city of Zanesville.
"Cliffwood," and that portion of Putnam south of it, was included in this annexation, as was also that portion to the west line, and north of Mus- kingum avenue, being the north line of said cor- poration.
MERCHANTS, MECHANICS AND PROFESSIONAL MEN OF SPRINGFIELD.
The following exhibit will be found more ex- tensive in kind than Western villages can gener- ally show, and eloquently sets forth the induce- ments to settle in the community. The list be- gins with the first merchant and first professional man in Springfield. Some of these have succes- sors at this day. The writer would willingly in- dulge in reminiscenses concerning these, in or- der to gratify a legitimate curiosity on the part of the reader, and his own fondness for story-tell- ing, and thus perpetuate their prominent traits of character and influence in society, but feels con- strained to do just as well as their posterity, who have not been careful to preserve these, even in a legendary form. So that it behooves the pres- ent generation to take warning, that it may be truly said-he lived.
No drop of that clear stream its way shall miss To thy sire's heart, replenishing its source
With life, as the soul rejoins the universe.
Nor fail to fill the heart of the scion coming With a loving and ambitious longing, A treasure of the holiest memory --
Though his head be ne'er so hoary.

PERSONAL REMINISCENCES.
The following extracts are from a historical Re- sume, by Rev. Addison Kingsbury, supplement- ed by other friends, of those who "bore the heat and burden of the day," and serve to show those * traits of character that insure success wherever found. They are
"Footprints that perhaps another, Sailing o'er life's solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again."
Albert Austin Guthrie was born in Newbury, Washington county, Ohio, January 9th, 1803. When a lad of thirteen he came to Putnam, and
was, for a time, a clerk, and afterwards a partner of his elder brother, Julius C. Guthrie. In the then state of society, the temptation was very strong to spend his earnings with youthful asso- ciates in amusement and dissipation, but con- vinced of the ruinous tendency of such a course, with characteristic decision, he shut himself up in his own room and spent the hours, which oth- ers worse than wasted, in studying the best Eng- lish classics he could obtain. The evenings were to him of priceless value. They broadened his mind, cultured his taste, and laid a foundation for future usefulness. * * He belonged to the party of progress, by whatever name it might be called. From its very commencement, he took an active part in the temperance reform, and was the first in this city to abandon the then universal practice of "treating" customers. He was also among the earliest and most ardent ad- vocates of immediate emancipation, when almost the entire sentiment of the community on the sla- very question was against him. * He
