Dear Journai:-Arn't we having rough
March Does the ''oldest resident" remem-
ber March which afforded more snow, more
storms, more cold, more changes, than this
present onef It's pretty rough, as soldier
would say, but maybap when Spring does
come, it will be as fine as 10 make up for this
clustering spell"
Pursuant to call published last week. 3
large number Of our citizens assembled at the
School Building on Saturday evening, and
nominated as candidates for the Board of
Education for this village the following
named gentlemen: A. B. French, Esq, Col.
@. G. Eaton and Chester Hunter. These are
good, live men, who will see to it that our
schools are what they should be. By the
incorporation of eur village, this sub district,
heretofore known as sub b-district No. :, Green
Greek Township, became a separate school
district, and is required to choose at this
Spring election a Board Of Education con-
sisting of three men, which will have sole
charge OF our schools.
The Union voters of Clyde will meet in
the School Building on Saturday evening,
March 2ad, 1867, at o'clock 10 nominate
the following candidates for village officers
for the ensuing year: Mayor, Recorder, and
five Oounciluen.
Last week a dozen or more Sxl0 hand-bills
were posted up about town announcing a call
to all Democrats to meet at Willis Hall on
Saturday evening last, to take into consider
alton the the best means for the salvation o.
the Democratic party. q give this from
memory, not having the call before me-,
Democracy, Copperheadism, Johnsonism, OIL
whatsoever ysn may choose to call so much
as yet remains of the late anti-war, Pro-rebel
nigger on the brain Organization, is, as thiI
call announces, in most deplorable condi'
ton. In fact that condition is hopeless
There is no use to talk about salvation for it
there is no salvation that can reach such {
case. l don't 60 much on total depravity
but if salvation can reach the Ooppeahead
Democratic-Rebel party o; Sandusky county
fail to discover any sort Of use for He'll.
Really there is no Democracy at Clyde
There sused to be, but it has been dead many
months There is only one Democrat ant
that one is the Rev. Seneca D. Fish. He il
Just ten years behind the age. He is nov
debating the questions aud issues Of ten year
ago. The Reverend is very honest, entirely
consistent ani as near live Democrat as you
can get in Clyde.
But an effort is to be made, and clul
formed. 1t will be called Democrrtic O;u'
if it should be formed, and then the saliva
! ton process is to be worked up. More Q
.his as matters develop.
The dwelling house of Mat. Duesler, abou
one mile south of Clyde, was burned Satur
day evening last. All of Mr.. Duesler'
household goods were lost. The fire was ac
cideutal, supposed to have originated from
lamp near the wall. Mr.. D. and wife wer
in town in the evening. Mr.. D. saw tn
| light of the fire, and made all haste home
arriving only in time to rescue his childre
from the flames. The roof of the buildin
fell in within minute. The loss falls yer
heavily upon Mr.. Duesler, and contribution
will be called for in his behalf.
Mr.. Eros Mead, of this place, died on Mon
day evening, after short illness of only te
DAYS. Mr.. Mead came to Seneca count
over 40 years ago penniless. He entere
land, went to work and by industry and pru
dence. has acquired large property. Tw
years ago he removed to Clyde. Few me
have lived more upright lives. He leaves
large circle of riends and acquaintances
mourn his loss His age at death was abor
IS years. Yours, s
