TIE PRICE OF FLouR.--There is gene
raj complaint among our people in regard
to the price Of provision Of every kind, and
particularly -four. 1t is but reasonable to
inquire into the cause Of these high prices,
and ascertain whether II arises from an ac-
.tual neeessity of the times, or simply in
consequence Of the exorbitant profits made
BY the provision dealers Of Ravenna. A
.Eomparison Of the cost Of divers articles in
different places may be profitable.
I. Hers.ini llavenna, -four Of good quality is
sold at So, ,oc pee barrel. In Cincinnati, the
ssame article of hobr can be purchased at
$500 per barrel. In Pittsburg it is 1926;
IN Cleveland, $3.50; ih,ChicagO, S6.76i in
New York, $6, 90; in London and Liver
pool, $3.50 for Ohio aour. = =
AS general rule, -four and wheat ought
to stand a; higher price in the large cities
than in small country towns, because to the
orioinal price is always added the cost OF
freight and transportation. There can be
no good reason why -four should be higher
in Ravenna than in Cincinnati or Cleveland.
Yet we find that the people Of our little vii.
luge are compelled to pay $2,4O more on o
barrel than in Cincinnati; $3.50 more than
in Cleveland; $3.50 more than in New
York, and even $l,5o more than is paid in
Glasgow, Liverpool and London, where oil
rhe wheat is transported across the Atlsn.

TIE Board OF HEALTH.-TEe Democrat
calls the attention of the Board Of Health Of
Navenna to the fact that something should
be done to secure cleanliness and Heatness
Ia the lanes, streets, allies, and also about
the'dwellings Of the village. Never did q
eubiect need more careful and vigilant atten-
tion. Ravenna once had the reputation Of
being one Of the neatest and pleasantest vii
lapes in Ohio; but the condition of things
about us for a long time past, contrad. Lets.
ali such pretensions. a; For two years past,
we have called atteEt:Bn to.the necessity of
reform, but scarcely arytaing was done,
No one would know we hada board Of health
eSceptiit. appeaa occasionally in the papers.
Nothing but the actuial Presence Of the chol7
era or yellow fever, will wake US up to the
necessity Of doing something to improve the
appearance OF our streets and the health OF
our community. s ,s#
TIE LOST FoUND.-- Last week,ewe made
note Of the fact that lRAsCARrER, son ol
Erastus Carter, Jr., ESQ., Of. Rayenna, was
supposed to be murdered, and that rnessen
gers had been despatched in search of him.
The messengers sent out, gained information
that on the 10th of May last, he was al
Memphis, in company with one or two 9th
eis. Since then, he has been heard Of in
other places; and only last week. il was re-
uorted that he had been seen with'a drove Of
cattle in Missouri. He was driving them, b,
slow marches, towards Chicago. Il NEEsot Il, o.

TIE COMPLIMENTARY CoEcEET.-The af.
ternoon. and firstxpart Of the evening OF Fri.
day last, was accompanied by frequent and
urenching showers. Yet, Notwithstanding
shis unfavorable circumstance, Days Hall
was filled by an intelligent and apprecative
audience gathered there, to lstento the music
afforded by the Ravenna Qnartette Club
The entertainment was one of the best We
think, which. was, eyer given in cur village.
r. there were defects in the execution o. any
Of the pieces Il was'a ttributab!e to the very
srief reriod afforded to the members, for re-
hearsal, and while in some instances they
diE not do themselves justice, 10 others, their
music cannot be surpassed and IS seldom
squalled for richness and harmony. One
set@o Songs deserve particular attention.
The "Bridge of Sighs,1 the sweetest and.sad
dest thing ever writer, has BECOME cac Of
ttie most popular songs Of tfe4day! 'sNe have
hoard it hundred times and could hear It q
hundred Zines more, and not grow weary OF
II. 1t eithet grows Better every time we lis.
teuto it, or the GIee Club sang 1T better than
ivwas ever sang before in our herring
That medley composed by thu members o
the Cnb, contained some ofthe choicest bits
Of harmony and snatches Of old songs, thai
peeto be found in the musical world. Il
passes "from grave to gay, from lively to Sc
vdre," with as much rapidity and beauty as
the ever varying colOrs Of the Kaleidoscope.
'tJ'he old Homestead" waslperformed with
mastery SAIL andwe venture to say awokt
pleasant recollect;ons in many a heart

GREEN is an admirable piece. "Jack" has
S:splendid voice and he knows jus. how Il
