A FlZZLE,

The meteoric shower that the
astronomers had predicted would
come off one night this week proved
to be grand tizzle. Several Of our
friends in this and adjoining towns
were up all night to see the show
and though they put themselves
outside about quart of whisky
apiece they saw mary STAR except
one unlucky fellow that fell down a
steep bank and thought he was fall
ing upward, AYERS now that either
during the fall or Immediately after
he saw stars but can't say if they
were falling or not.

having come toCrcsco OH yesterday.
The regular trains will commence
running on Monday next.
This event, the completion of a

Our county is not cxcelled either
in extent or quality of it's agri-

Senator Lent upon the various matters which camo
before him for his action during the past session of the
Legislature We do not intend TO led into dis
cussion outside of the record. As a journalist Te
consider tour duty inform tho pubic-who have no
other means of obtaining information of the votes and
conduct of their servants in the Legislature save
through the newspapers-of the fact whenever one OF
their representatives backsdes from grace or shows
the cloyen foot 1t is not our duty, as we understand
it,, TO remain silent when a man, who has
got into Office by planting himself upon the
platform of Reform, kicks that platform to
pieces So far as are concerned, we do not
intend to allow the people to remain in ignorance
when a representative, who was so fully pledged to
REFORM misuses the confidence that was placed IN
him. The Times instead of meeting us on the record,
instead of ustfyng or explaining the votes oil Senator
Lent by argument flies oil, and tells US that he has
proved himself capable and honest and has rendered
good service both to the City and the State. This s
not argument but aduaton. Certainly, the record
we gave ustifcs no such praise. And, as Mr.. Grad
grind would saw where are the facfs from when 20
draw the conclusion that Mr.. Lent is the exemplary

side is the dreary record of his voes the other. il

We arc content TO let our good people judge be
