MARIOg CoUNTY.-VYe find the following
items in the Marion Democrats
The work of putting a lightning rod on
the tall spire of the Methodist Church,
which was performed last week, seemed q
perilous employment to the loOlkers-on.-
However it was successfully performed
without accident. IL was found necessary
to remove the vane-a change which has
by no means improved the finish and gen
eral appearance Of the church.
One man, at least, we have met in Ma
riOn who is a genuine philosopher-who
with practical fortiGude accepts whatever
life has in store for him, resolved that
"Let the wide world Eag as it wiII
He'll be gay and happy still 20
He is the most distorted and helpless Grip
pie that we ever saw walk. Of good size,
and once obviously of fine appearance,
his seal to give assurance of a man. - is now
bent and twisted, the head dropping so far
over his LETT shoulder as to render il al.
most impossible to retain his cap in its
place. We. were looking piteously upon
him from the window above, not suspect
ing that he would see us, when his eyes
suddenly turning up, with a merry laugh
he asked: 'tWOuldn't I make a nice pic
ture in frame5" Poor fellOWi He had at
once our sympathy and admiration.
FRANKLIN CoUNTY.-Ve select the sub
Joined items from the Morning Journal:
The August stock sale at the Colum bus
yards on Thursday, August I'd, was quite
as well attended as others of the series,
and was characterized by much the same
spirit. There were perhaps not as many
cattle on the grounds as in June, bu6 more
horses and hogs. In addition to the reg
ularly reported sales, there were so many
private safes made that we found it i'm
possible to obtain complete record.
During the week ending Saturday, Aug.
4th, l3 marriage licenses were issued from
the Probate Court of Franklin County,
on Monday, on Tuesday, 3 on Wednes-
day, 2 on Thursday, and none on Friday
or Saturday.
Mr.. @. H. Campen, Emigrant Agent at
this, place, reports that during the two
weeks ending Saturday, Aug. 4th, 76S emil
grants passed through Columbus en- route
for homes in the Southern and Western
States, $50 of whom proposed to settle in
Ohio.
The finest and most extensive displav of
vegeta bles and produce seen this season in
Columbus was made in market Saturday
August 4th. The number
Of wagons and other vehicles on duty was /
much larger than on the MORNINGS before
noticed, and IN fact almost unprecedented. /
The display of things to live upon was so /
extensive as to surprise old fre0uenters /
Of the market, and was the subject ofE
much comment.
