A Convention of the Editors Of Ohio
assembled in the city Of Tifin last week
and we are righ. glad 70 be able to an,
nounee that said convention WIS honorcd
with the presence Of the editor OF The
.'Wyandot Pioneer We make this an.
nouucement for tho reason that we are
fearful that our brother editors may neg.
lcct to, inform their readers Of The. dis.
tinguished honor conferred upon them by
US. But the principal rceson for our
feeling glad at our being able TO make this
annou ncement is the fact that the knights
OF the pen and scissors bad a ''glorious
good time on the occasion alluded to,
and that we were not only .'.here to see''
but to participate in the exercises. festivi-

The exercises in the Hall on Wednes.
day evening. consisting Of an address by
Mr.. Denny, Of the Dayton Gazette. pnd
a poem by Mr.. Howels. Of the Ohio
State Journal, passed off not only very
pleasantly, but very creditably to all
eerned. The Hall was crowded to ove,.
flowing with the beauty ard intelligence
Of Tifiin and vicinity, and we believe we
never saw a more respectable looking or
orderly audience assembled on any occa.
sion than the one with which the editori.
al fraternity were honored on that even.
ing. The music was very pleasant and
delightful feature in the exercises. The
instrumental music was furnished by
Bcos' Cornet Band and the vocal music
bya party Of Germans known as the
"Binderbund;" both parties volunteered
their services on the occasion, for which
they are certainly entitled to the thanks
Of the editors and others present.

By the way, we had almost forgotten
