The Canton Republican says; We note
with pleasure the progress and continued
success of the rival meeting now being
held in the E. E. Church in our city.
Very many have been added to the church
during this meeting which commenced
three weeks ago. This revival spirit
seems to be spreading quite extensively.
Nightly meetings are held at the Evan
gelical, Presbyterian and Baptist Churches
in our city and at all of them the atten-
lance and interest is far in excess Of that
ordinarily exhibited. -.7g @

The Canton Freedmen's Aid Commits
sion has, as we learn from Mr.. j. Durbin,
contributed over five hundred garments
and pairs of boots and shoes for the relief
of the destitute and suffering freedmen.
Nearly all these contributions have been
already forwarded to the South, but con-
tributions arc still coming in. In money
the sum of $3.50 has already been con
tributed and forwarded from Canton.
Rev. Travelli, Of the Commission, in
acknowledging the receipt of our goods
and money, says Canton has done better
than any point in Pennsylvania or Ohio,
excepting only Meadville, Pa,
A good article of red wheat brings from
$l.s5 to sl.e5. We saw a load of one
hundred bushels sold the other day for
S2.08. 1t does not generally bring as high
a price as this, however. The wheat mar
ket at present is very brisk, but other grain
is rather dull. Rye is scarce at from 70c
to 75c. Oats not very plenty, and selling
from 3oc to ACC. Barley, the little that is
offering, brings from soc upwards; it has
been sold during the week as high as 75s.
Corn is not offering very freely, and
brings from soc to Toe, according to quali-
ty. .a $3.50 rt1 st
The Canton Repository says: Hon.
Humphrey Hoover, member of the Ohio
House of Representatives, has SO far re-
covered from his recent illness, that he
intends starting for Columbus, on Monday

Last Sabbath a stranger from Pennsyl-
vania, stopping in our town, desiring to
attend some place of public worship,
walked in one of our most fashionable
churches and was politely shown a seat by
one of the gentlemanly ushers. In a few
minutes (by mistake we supposed a very
dressed colored mar was handed
into the same pew. The effect was like
and walked out rowing 1ffs m hG4Lea up,
presume he had just t~heslightest prejudice
against the color.
The eastern portion Of cur city has been
for some time the scene Of the most dis
graceful and highly criminal conduct. On
last Sunday Rev. G. A. Breugle, Pastor of
the German Lutheran Church, had been
officiating at Osnaburg, and returning only
in time to fulal his appointment here, he
his horse in the shed. On return
ing to the shed after service, he found his
saddle-girth had been maliciously cut
from his saddle. A few weeks ago he had
new buggy broken and a bride stolen.
h0 had a sleigh clandestinely used
and broken during service. The people
who visit the places of worship in that
section of the city have been disagreeably
annoyed by having their robes, blankets
and whips stolen and their harness either
taken apart or stolen.
One day last week while a man by the
name Of Hudson, who lives in Newman's
Greek Valley, was examining a pistol, that
lad been laid aside for several months, it,
~ accident, went of, and the ball with
which it was loaded went through the
oody of his little son, aged, we believe,
bout five years. The child died in about
