tiOu.

i EDS. JEFF.-I see by your paper
that a project is on foot looking to
the organization of some kind of an
Association or Lyceum in Fmdlay,
by means of, aud through which, our
citizens may be furnished with
amusements during the coming win
ter nights, which would not only
serve to occupy time otherwise te-
dious, but would benefit, instruct and
Improve. That such result is 'a
consummation devoutly to be wish
ed' will not, presume be disputed
1t is a strange commentary on taF
enterprise of our citizens that some
thing of this kind is not now one OF
our town institutions. We have q
large class of young men who would
much rather spend their spare money
and time in some such pursuit, than
in the various saloons and loafing
places about town, while we have in
every class large numbers who would
willingly lend themselves to aid such
an enterprise. The proceeds might
be profitably employed in the estab-
fishing of Library and Reading
room, open to those who may be-
come members. Every citizen ought
to feel an interest in this matter, and
do all in his power to ensure its sue
cess.
We doubtless have home talent
which could be made available, and
at the same time have lecturers from
abroad, if necessary. Reciratiens
would prove beneficial, and selections
from our best authors, well recited,
might develop new beauties and e,e
vate the general tone of our cOmmu-
nifty. There are multitude of things
which might be accomplished by this
means that would prove OF great ben
fit to us all. Home talent might be
brought out, and why should it not
be as much encouraged as home man

OUTRAGE ON A NEWSPAPER OFrIcl

OUTRAGE ON A NEWSPAPER OFFICE
Some weeks since the Office of the
Antwerp { Paulding Co. Gazette was
entered by some miscreant, who de
molished things generally. The
proprietor, Mr. W L Osborn, sub
sequently received threatening let
ter when he directed his apprentice
to sleep in the office armed with 8
revolver. On Saturday night, Oct.
19, the boy was awakened by some
one who had succeeded in getting the
door partly open He Immediately
fred, when the intruder stepped back
a moment, but again attempted to en-
ter, and had nearly succeeded, when
the boy again fired with better effect.
The man fell, but soon got up and
{ ook himself Off. What prompted
the attack is unknown. The Gazette
is a Union paper.

MANY CITIZENS.

SEASON ENDED.-We notice that
Base Ball clubs throughout the coun-
try, are playing the. last games of the
.soasen, preparatory TO laying by for
the winter. We hardly know what
the members of such clubs will dc
during the long winter months for
|e1ercise--such gentle exercise-but
presume that they will take it out in
billiards. Many people consider
the national" game humbug. and
seem to think that the lovers of the
art could find sufficient exercise in
saving wood, breaking stone, ETC.,
with greater profit and less danger.
We don't believe it. The latter class
of amusements are not funny, and do
not furnish to those indulging in
them broken or sprained finger, a
black eye, flattened nose, a peeled
shin or an absent front tooth. Con-
sidering these delightful accompani-
ments, base ball stands much higher
in the category of amusements than
any other manual labor.
II the above argument does not
Sufficiently establish the superiority
of the game, we would suggest that
during SO healthy a season as the one
just past, physicians and surgeons
could hardly live without it. Base
ball is an institutlon-a national one
--one of which we should be proud
1t has had offered up to it more
bloody sacrifices than can be boasted
by Hindoo idol.
