Sudden changes of weather seem to be
the general order of the day, for this win
ter's campaign at least. The last change
has left US upon a much irmer basis than
we could boast Of last week, during the
time mud remained master Of the situa-
ticG. We have gained a great advan tage
within the last year over this enemy Of "a
line boot or gaiter, by the construction Of
wide and substantial pavements, which
was the first active movement made by
the Town Council towards improving the
condition of the place The want ofgood
sidewalks has long been felt, but little
was ever done towards keeping US out of
the mud until the village became incor-
pOratcd. An effective force was put upon
the work, and ere the approach of winter
put a stop to their progress they had sue
ceeded in laying a splendid stone pave
ment on each side Of our two principal
streets. Some property holders had many
objections to offer and made extremely
wry faces upon being notified that they
must place their pavement down 10 "a
uniform grade, but -.all for no use" they
had to come to the point or submit to hav-
ing the job sold out. With the opening
Of spring the work will again be vigor-
ously pushed forward 10 completion.
Amongst the late improvements in Orr
Vile the large brick building just COM
pletcd and owned by DR.. Boyer is the
most prominent. The building is occu-
pied Us a residence. The gallery is quite
large, and possesses advantages for light
superior to any other in the county. As
the Doctor has secured the services of "a
talented artist our beauties can depend
upon having Il perfect representation Of
their lovely faces transferred to paper ac-
cording to the highest style Of the art.
The dental rooms are quite neat and the
location most desirable. Orrville wants
a few more such accessions as DR.. Boyer,
and the general appearance and business
Of the place will be greatly increased.
The dissolution Of the firm of Mon
Grief and Shelton leaves the whole bust
ness in tie hands Of the former gentle
man, who intends replenishing his pres
ent stock of dry goods with a selection
] from the UeSL EdSLgEH uldIhtLS. Inc Olu
stand of NJ. Whitmeyer has been ans
fcrrcd to c. I. Clark and Bro, who have
opened up u stock of groceries that will
meet the demands of the most fastidIous.
The citizens of this place were most
agreeably entertained on the evening of
the 22d inst, at a concert given by tine
Orrville Concert Band. The programme
embraced eight scenes of a comedy on the
Incorporation, which performance elected
great applause from a large audience.
This band, under the efficient manage
ment of Professor Waltz, has reached n
degree Of perfection not often attained by
an organization Of this kind in so short
a time.
No less than three matrimonial unions
are announced as a part of the proceed
ings in our fast village last week. 1t Is
the returned soldiers that are disturbing
our peace and quietness by such transac-
lions as the above. They may lead in the
advance Of Sherman, and storm the heights
Of Lookout, but they can never bid def
ance 10 the darts from the bow of Cupid.
