nights last were decidedly cold, and even
now, although the weather has moderated
somewhat, heavy oVercouts, warm shuwls
and good coal fires are deemed Indispensable
to all who are able to eoGmund such COM
forts. There are many, even in this com.
Sunity, who do not possets the means to
purchase such luxuries. II they shccecd in
getting food and ruiment sufficient to answer

this worlds goods-those who, at this time
of tNre year, spend money for gliitering toys
and gifts to present to persons equally for
tunste with themselves, should think of the
poor. Think of the half clad, hungry, shv-
erfng children, who each night retire to their
cheerless beds, not knowing where their
breakfast will come from, or who will re-
plenish their exhausted fuel. Think of the
many on every side Of you, who, with q
moiety of what you spend in extravaganza
for things you might we'll do without, could
make themselves comparatively comfortable,
and remember that the Scripture spSs, che

The EIGHTH OF JANUARY BAbz The

coming ceremonies by our citizens. The
Light Artillery Squad and also the Cadets
were on parade during the day. This was
the first time the Squad has nude On appear.
unce IN public, aad we believe we speak
the universal opinion when we say, TINT their
appearance on parade was highly credita6le
to themselves and honorable to General TY-
LER, under whose superintendence the COM
pany was organized and disciplined. The
members Of the Squad ure all young men of
prompt and energetic character, and full Of
the fire and daring SO requisite TO persons
occupying that position. There is timber
for the best Artillery company in Northern
Ohio. Captain BINGHAM will be an able Of
Gcer.
Major WooD's Artillery Squad from
Cleveland, wus also present to witness and
participate in the exercises.
In the evening, Days Hall, decorated with
Gags and appropriate emblems, was brilliant

the mazy dance. The music furnished was
ofthe choicest kind. Everything was har-

One of the most Interesting Incidents Of
the evening was the presentation Of rich
and elegant military coat to General Tyler.
THE presentation was made on behalf the
Military Squad and Cadets, by E. SrALDISG;
Esq. ;, in an appropriate and patriotic speech.
We had hoped 10 be able to furnish n copy
Of the same to our readers, but have not, as
yet, obtained it. Mr.. Spalding alluded to
the high character OF General Tyler, in our
community, as soldier, citizen and man

If the time should ever come, when our coun-
tTy'sfights and honor were invaded it would
be worn by tree soldiera-one whose servi-
ces, and one whose life, if need be, would
be freely offered in their defence. The coat
was gracefully received and worn by the
General during the remainder of the even
ing. This tribute from the Artillery Squad,
his pupils in military tactics, is we'll deserv-
ed. General Tyler will never dishonor the
gift. Governed at all times by honest
motives, and animated by an ordett love Of
country, he will ever be found on the side OF
the Union, his country, his whole country,
and the unalienable and constitutional rights
