Town CLoCK.-What is to prevent
Findlay having q Town Clock2 II
would prove q great convenience,
and as to the expense, that could be
easily gos over. There are any num-
Der Of men who give from SO to
825 each for the purpose of building

with dial facing four sides. The
cost of such an improvement would
be about $1,000, of which sum the
County Commissioners would, no
doubt, psy oue-half. Talk II up and

BELOW EvERYBoDY.-The prices OF
nearly all kinds of dry goods de-
clined materially some two weeks
since. j. S. Patterson, being in the
City at the time, closely watched the
market and made his purchases 'just
in the nick Of time," and can now
sell goods of every description at al
most fabulously low figures. Call
and examine his new goods. and you
will find whether the above assertion
is true or not.

PATENT GATE.--L. Ii. Scothorn
has procured a patent on a gate.--
Without claiming to be adopts in
such matters we judge that the gate
is just what it is claimed to be, and
one that will meet with the approval
of every farmer or lot owner.

Why is not this institution ol
great benefit to every person In
Findlay2 Is it not good thing fol
the laboring man? For instance
There are a great many mechanics,
in fact nearly every mechanic in oui
place, who can save no more than
$50 or $50 per year. Now let us es-
timate a home, such as they would
desire, to be worth $3.50 or $500, ano
they save at compound interest sou
per year, we see that it will take nipt
years or thereabouts to enable then
! to pay for such home. Encounter
ling in the out set and so all through
these long nine years, the fact that
real estate is daily becoming higher
as the country becomes more and
more settled, and lumber grows daily
dearer in price, as the demand in
creases and the supply diminishes.
He must also take his chances for
sickness, his family or himself may
be prostrated, or he may die; in the
one case his earnings for that year,
and probably more, swallowed up to
paw a Doctors bill, or in the other,
a large portion, if not all, used to pay
funeral expenses and his family left
destitute, or nearly so. 1t looks like
"hard lives" for our laboring men,
doesn't it And yet we have large
number of just such men-honest, in
dustrious and economical as he may
be. the chances are ten to one that he
never gets a home. Suppose he in
vests s5 per month in the Savings
and Building Loan Association"-he
builds home in six or eight months
at farthest, and in seven years, by
calculations which have been made,
he ceases to pay, has q home secured
and has not telt its cost at all-hav-
ing saved the amount in rent. Is it
not good thing for the capitalist Z
For instance a man has O number OF
town lots, eliglbly situated, or lands
in the vicinity of the town, which
will some day be eligible as the
population, business and resources OF
our town increase--as poor men are
by means of this association, enabled
to build, houses go up all over the
town and of course his property in
creases in value. He could not help
| it if he would. Is it not good thing
for the young man without family
and no one but himself to care for 7
By this means he saves from two to
five or ten dollars per month. and
money too which he would otherwise
waste extravagantly. At the end OF
seven years he has 5000, $1,000 or
81, 900, as the case may be, or CON-
Portable home in which to live in case
he changes Gas they are prone to do)
his present mode of life, and thus is
enabled to start years ahead of his
friends, who are now, heads of large
families, struggling to maintain their
existence, let alone buy home.
Then why is it not a good thlng3
Is it not the duty OF every good cit
izen WHO has the good Of his town or
the comfort Of his fellow man at heart,
to take hold of this matter and do
all in his power TO further the enter

HEADQUARTERS, October 13, 1867.
To His Excellency T. III. Pisrpont,
Governor of Virginia. -
have received letters from sever
al members of the late Virginia Leg
islature, inquiring whether there
would be a session Of that body du-
ring the coming winter, and raising
the question whether, under the
State laws. the members OF the House
of Delegates do not hold over until
their successors are duly elected and
qualified. Without deciding the lat
ter qaestion, upon which there seems
to exist diversity of opinions,I i have
to request that you will inform the
members of the late Legislature that
the regular session ofthe Legislature
of the coming winter will be dispensed
with.
Very respectfully,

T. & c. r. R--Mr. Jos. Eckel>
accompanied the surveying party as
far as Upper Sandusky. and reports
that the Engineer speaks very favor
ably of this route as being through
a rich and level country, and that the
expense of building the road in this
direction will be small compared to
that Of other routes. Our people
are very much elated at the prospect
of securing this valuable road, and
hold themselves in readiness to sub
scribe literally for the carrying out
of the scheme.
In DEPENDENT FAIR.-A movement
is on foot among our citizens looking
to the organization Of an Indepen-
dent Agricultural Society, for the
benefit and improvement OF those
portions Of the four counties Han
cock, Wood, Sandusky and SENEGAL
lying adjacent to Fostoria. The idea
is good one, ard it will undoubtedly
be acted upon in good season, as our
leading men in such matters are sup
to snuff" and were never known to
"throw agood thing over their shoul-
der" consequently think I am safe
in extending to your readers a cor.
dial invitation to attend next Fall.

FIsHING.-Quite a number of wag-
ons from the vicinity of Vanlue pass
ed through this place on their return
from a fishing excursion to the lake.
In the party were Messrs. Askam,
Lee and Houks, who represented that
they had pleasant time, "barrin"

of the time.
Rev. LUNr.-I am happy to notice
Mr.. Lunt again on the street, having
nearly recovered from the injuries

BUsY.-Our village has presented
brisk appearance for the past two
weeks, and our stores have closely
resembied those of Broadway from
the fact of their being constantly
crowded. Long may it continue.
FIRE FIRE I'VE have been pc
cullarly blessed by exemption from
fire thus far, but from no precaution
taken by our village authorities, as
the only means We possess for extin-
gushing fires is what buckets may
be picked up in the hurry OF the mo-
ment. Now, what we want and must
have, is regularly organized Fire
Department, with call the appurte
nances thereunto belonging" Let
our citizens take proper view OF
this matter, that our beautiful town
be not much longer left entirely at
the mercy of this destructive element.
