MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.

A most distressing casualty occurred on FRI
day afternoon last, in Washington township
about five miles west of Fremont, resulting in
the death of an estimable lad, by the discharge
of gun in the hands of his brother The two
boys, George and Absalom Boyer, sons of Saml
Boyer, aged respectively about IA and 16, were
hunting quails about mile from home. A
flock starting up, the elder brother drew up his
fowling- piece, and turning suddenly at the same
time to follow the quick flight of the birds, dis
charged his piece, its whole contents of buck
shot entering the younger brothers left breast,
at distance of about II feet. The young lad
fell dead instantly, without probably even a
consciousness of the occurrence. George hur-
ried home, and finding no one there to help
him, (his father being absent and his mother
sick in bed, y he hitched horse to sleigh, and
went back alone to bring home the corpse of his
brother. On the way, he met neighbor who
accompanied him in the melancholy Office
While in Fremont, a day or two previous,
the deceased called at the store of Mr.. VIM. A.
Rice, where his cousin is employed as clerk,
and urged him to come to his house and spend
the following Sabbath. The cousin promised
to do so. The attendance of the funeral was the
sad fulfllment of the promise.
We publish elsewhere an obituary notice by
Reverend friend of the family.

tanned by Dr. Jeffrey; Miss Bruner, milIiner; E.

The fire originated early in the evening snd
might have been easily subdued with an en-
gine. R. STANBERY.
This is the third destructive fire which has
visited our neighboring village of Elmore with
in two years, the last being by far the most dis
astrous, destroying the larger and better por-
tion of the place, including two fne brick
blocks. Effort was made by telegraphing, to
obtain an engine from Toledo, but without sue
cess. The following insurance companies are
losers by the fire:
Atna, of Hartford; Corn Exchange, of New
York; Manhattan, of New York; Lorillard, of
New York; Underwriters, of New York.
VIM. Rymer, of the irrn of Rymer k Lucky,
had his collar bone broken while removing
goods from the scene of the confagratiou. No

to the perpetarator of the outrage, although
certain parties are suspected.

THE FIREIN MINIS, BLoCK,

On Tuesday morning about two o'clock fire
was discovered in Minis Block, by a young man
sleeping in Mr.. Blodgets Photograph Rooms
in the third story. Descending by the back
passage way, he awakened the clerks of Clark
d Zigler, who occupied sleeping room on tie
first floor, and general alarm was quickly given
In an incredibly short time the engines were on
hand, and the fire speedily extinguished.-
Owing to the quantity of smoke. the precise 10.
cality and extent of the fire could not at first be
ascertained, the result being that much create,
quantity Of water was thrown than would have
been necessary. But such things are, of course
TO greater or less extent unavoidable.
The fire was evidently the work of incendia.
ries. It was kindled near the door of Mr.. C.
Edgerton Office, in the hall of the second story
The incendiaries were entirely disappointed in
their expectations of plunder, as nothing was
removed from the building, and the store room
of Clark & zigler was kept locked against all
but the clerks and two or three others.
AS curious coincidence of strange present.
iment, it is stated that Mr.. Smith, of the Fire
Department, went into the hardware store o.
Roberts and Sheldon and borrowed wrench
the evening before, remarking that he some.
how felt sure there was going to be fire in
town before morning. The delivers into the
regions Of the supernatural will please make
note Of this fact
The Minis Block is occupied as follows
On the first floor, by the dry goods store o.

loss will be less than 1900. All insured. =

A GOOD MARKET.

We are informed by Mr.. Hood, at the depot
that in six consecutive days of the past month,
forty eight carloads of produce were shipped
at the G. Il T. depot in this place for Cleveland
alone
OF course much of the produce shipped from
this point comes from neighboring countless
Farmers come in from a distance of Is, 90 OF
25 miles, from the immediate vicinity of other
towns along the railroad lines, because, they
say, they can sell produce better and buy goods
cheaper here than elsewhere
The superiority of our town in this respect
will, of course, be immeasurably enhanced by
the improvement OF the river channel by
which, in the Spring We shall have immediate
steamboat connection with Buffalo. This, with
our other commercial facilities, must make
Fremont more favorable point for good
wholesale business than any other in North
western Ohio, and enable our dealers to offer
even yet more decidedly superior inducements
to producers.
Our business men appreciate the situation"
and will prove equal to the demands made upon
them.

A month or six weeks ago one Hand, living
at Clyde, was arrested at that place on the
charge of stealing $500 belonging to a man
named Stout also of Clyde. The latter, it
seems, had left the money at Hands house for
safe keeping; but it appears not to have been
so safe after all; for when the owner wanted
the money, it was not to be found in drawer
where it had been deposited. On Hands ar
rest, he induced DR.. Luse, of Clyde, to become
his bail, and that night decamped. A consid-
cradle i'd was offered for his re-arrest,
which was effected the other day by Constable
Manahan, of Clyde. Hand was taken at Peo-
ria, H., and is now in JAIL at this place, await
ing his trial.

FATAL ACCIDENT-OBITUAR
On Friday, the 26th inst, at about ? clock,
P. NJ, ABsALeM, son of Mr.. Samuel Boyer, Of
the vicinity of West Fremont. .Sandusky coun-
ty, Ohio, was ovortaken by death in the fol-
lowing shocking manner:
Absalon,, in company with an older brother
and another young, Wan of the neighborhood
were hunting for quails, and whilst thus en-
gagged, within mile or two of home, was in
stantly killed, BY the accidental discharge oi
hisbrother's fowling piecc,-the contents, which
were large shot, lodging OF passing through his
breast and neck. Thus, prOvideulially, has
passed away from earth to better cline, as
we fondly hope, an affectionate son and brother,
pious and promising youth of l3 years,
months and days '
Although young, Absalom had given earnest
and serious attention to the one thing needful
and attended regular course of religious in.
struction, in connection with thirteen others
including four of his older brothers. He with
them made public profession Of his faith in
Christ, and became confirmed member of IL &
German Reformed Church, at West Fremont
on the 18th of last October. But the Lord, fol
some wise and good purpose, which we finite
creatures cannot now fully comprehend, hst
thus early transplanted him into the church
triumphant in Heaven. This much We dc
know, however, that 'Ha doeth allthings well;
and in view of this fact, his afflicted parents
and friends can say, in the midst of this severe
dispensation of His Providence: ''The Loi {
gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blesscd
be the name of the Lord" How true it is, that
aGod moves in mysterious way
His wonders to perform; ..
He plants his footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
"Deep in unfathomable mines
Ofnever falling skill,
He treasures up his bright designs
And works his SOW reign will" ]. B. T.

ODD FELIOWS, VISIT.

On Saturday evening last, the Odd Fellows
of Croghan Lodge, No. II, of this town, had
an odd visit from their brother Odd Fellows of
the neighboriDg towns. 1t was genuine sur
prise party and at the close we think the visi-
tors were the most surprised party to the pro-
ceeding,
On the arrival of the train from the east, at
o'clock, Saturday evening, about one hundred
Odd Fellows from Norwalk, Monroeyille Belle
vue, Green Springs and Tiffin made descent
upon the brethren at Croghan Lodge. They
came dressed in their best, with rich and ele-
CANT regalia, and in true brotherly style filed
into Croghan Lodge, filling the ample Hall to
about its utmost capacity, and making them
selves perfectly at home. The chairs were fill
ed and the brethren called to order, and the
opening ode sang as only Odd Fellows could
sing it. After an earnest prayer by Rev. Bro.
H., of Norwalk, the business was proceeded
with Then followed remarks from many of
the brothers, until time was announced to pro-
ceed to the supper table, which had been pre-.
pared by Harris in ample style. As no one
| room could seat the whole company, three
sorties were made in close columns. Harris
was able to give them all they wanted--stewed
and raw. When the charging party could
stand no more they fell back in good order.
and their places were speedily filled by re-
serves. Croghan Lodge was all the toast, and
the Fremont brethren were voted all right
But as all such gatherings must break up,
"train time" being announced, one hundred
voices sang:
Brothers, we thank you all
For this your friendly call,' DC.
Good bye's were said, and they all separated
highly pleased with their memorable visit
When such crowd again assemblies, may we
| be there to see.
