She sank into a chair weeping, and for a time forgot her prisoner. The next day Joyce had another visitor, in the person of Andrew Harmon.

He made his visit with pleasure, for of all the girls in Columbiana County, she was the one he had selected to become Mrs. Harmon.
Two deputy marshals came to investigate, and went away satisfied when Doctor Hopkins promised to report as soon as his patient was well enough to be removed. In due time Joyce received a letter from her father. He had not heard that Morgan had come as far north as Columbiana County, until after he was captured.

Then a famous map-maker gave the name of America to both continents. But many Spaniards were jealous for the fame of Columbus, and they thought that the Northern Continent should be called Colonia or Columbiana.

Way had left the cars at Mingo and marched over near to Steubenville, where he began a skirmish which lasted over twenty-five miles toward Salineville, away up in Columbiana County. Here he brought Morgan to bay. The latter still fought desperately, losing 200 prisoners, and over 70 of his men killed or wounded, and skipped away.

Thus New Lisbon was cut off from all the commercial cities, and found its sources of supply tapped at every point by the railroads. Realizing the fate that had overtaken the town, Mr. Garretson, at the opening of the year 1852, closed up his affairs in Columbiana county and removed to Cleveland. There he became associated in business with Messrs.
In a little while we owned largely in the "Gray Eagle," the "Columbiana," the "Branch Mint," the "Maria Jane," the "Universe," the "Root-Hog-or-Die," the "Samson and Delilah," the "Treasure Trove," the "Golconda," the "Sultana," the "Boomerang," the "Great Republic," the "Grand Mogul," and fifty other "mines" that had never been molested by a shovel or scratched with a pick.
