His educational advan- tages in Ohio were the district winter schools, diligent read- ing of the few books brought from the East, and the Weekly Cleveland Herald, studied by evening fire-light fed by hick- ory bark, or the primitive lamp of the settlers. The quali- fications of teachers and grade of the schools may be judged from the fact that the winter he was seventeen years old he taught in the log school house in the woods adjacent to his father's farm, at jSio a month and " boarding around... " with the scholars, and for some winters afterward in other districts at but slightly advanced pay. At twenty he started out to seek his fortune, and commenced by entering a law office at Elyria as a student. A year's study tired him of that "profes- sion, and he exchanged the position of law student for that of constable and deputy sheriff. On the death of the sheriff he was appointed to fill the vacancy, then elected by the people, and reelected for a second term. In 1832, in partnership with two printers of Elyria, he purchased the materials of the defunct Lorain Gazette, and started the Ohio Atlas and Elyria Advertiser, he being the editor.
