Early Newspaper History oa Perr,,burs

Early Newspaper History OF Perrysburg.
Mr.. j. w. S9orT, of Toledo, in a oommuni-
cation to the Bidde, gives the following inter
esting information respecting the origin and his
tory OF the first press brought into North western
Ohio, and the first newspaper established in I'll is
place. He says:
The press, types, &c., were bought in New
York, in the spring of 1884, by Henry Darling, nv
brother-in-law, for himself and me. AS we were
not rnters, we hired two young printers from
petrot-James Mcbride and Charles Wicox-to
print 1t TOR us. For year mtre / wrote most
OF the editorials Mr.. Darling not having come to
rerrysburg before the paper was we'll underway.
Ehe prospectus prom ssd that it should, though
located at Perrysburg, advocate equally all the
interests of the Maumee Valley. This was at
hrs satisfactory to all the people of Perrysburg
but as the place began to grow rapidly and antic-
ipate speedy metropolitan greatness, several of
ITS prominent speculutorS claimed that the press
should become its special advocate. This, under
our pledges, Mr.. Darling and could not make it,
and asst was at pecunary sacrifice we were
carrying it on, we sold it out 10 what was under
stood to be special Perrysburg interest, man
aged by D. A Scott, j w. Bride and Henry Reed
| Jr. About the same time, paper was started
in Vlstula by Captain Allen. The editorial YOU
| quote, think by brother Austin, was writ n to
resssure the Perry ysburgers that theirs was to be
the great place and have tie potent advocacy of the
| potent . Miami cf 81 Lake" AS owned piece of
unpromsing ground between the shanties oom3os
| ing. the hamlets OF Vstula and Pert Lawrauce, |
| had become suspec;e OF having an eve down the
| river, though that ownership was well understood,
when brought the press to Perry sburg at the So
icltaton of its two most prominent citizens-Jo ohm
holllster and John @. Sphinx. The " Hiami of The
| Ln6s was given the paper, with the hope that
| 1t might induce the remaining of our bsaui nj
| river " Mani" and so discard,is Maunes" as a
| corruption of the original.

DESTROYING INSECTs.-It is better to
commence the destruction of injurious
insects early in the summer than to wait
until they have been fully developed
and extensively difiused throughout the
orchard. 1t is better to destroy the eggs
of the tent-catcrpillar than to wait until
they have hatched and the young cater
pillars have spread themselves over the
foliage and formed their tents in places
of refuge. The eggs may now be seen in
rows near the forks of the branches;
they glisten in the sun on fine bright
days. The branches to which they are
gummed should be cut and burned.-
The goosberry and currant caterpillar
are produced from eggs which are depos-
tied 10y the parent fly on the ribs or backs
of the leaves. When the eggs hatch, the
minute caterpillar cut little holes like
pin-holes in the leaves, and when they
are confined to few leaves they may
be easily picked of by hand and destroy
ed This Is the most effactual mode OF
destroying these pests. A whole brood
IL sometimes confined to one leaf.

A Pig SpecuIatioI,.

The overseer on Mr.. Sayre's farm told
him he needed some hogs on his place.
Mr.. Sayre, who lisps little, replied:
every well, go and buy four or five
thouth and pigth right away, and put
them OH the farm. "
The man accustomed to obey, and that
without questioning, asked:
"Shall take the money with me to
purchase with?"
No, thir! They all know me. Thend
them here-I III pay for them, or give
you the money to pay when you get
Them"
The overseer went his way, and in
two weeks returned, when the following
conversation took place:
"Well, Mr.. Sayre, / can't get that
many pigs. | have ridden all over the
country, all about, and can buy but be-
tween eight or nine hundred.
"Eight or nine hundred what?"
"Eight or nine hundred pigs"
"Eight or nine hundred pigth? Who
told you to buy that many pigth? Are
you fool?"
"You told me to buy them two weeks
since. | have tried to do it.
"Eight or nine hundred pigth My
God! Inever told you any thutA thing?
But you did you told me to go and
buy four or five thousand pigs"
~ did MT do no such thing! My God
1 told you to go and buy four or five
thows and their little pigth; and you have
done it, I thould thay."
Mr. Sayre had pork to sell next Fall
Pork rose, and Sayre made his pile. I'm
fortunately, it is not overy man who buy
pork "on q rise.

UNINFLAMMABLE DRESSES. 1t IL much
to be regretted that the process of rem
dering the material OF ladies' dresses un-
inflammable Is not more generally un-
derstood and used by the public. Either
OF three substances-phosphate of am
monia, tungstato of soda, and sulphate of
ammonia--can be mixed in the starch,
and at cost OF one penny dress, deaths
from fire can ,pe rendered, In point OF
fact, impossible. Articles of apparel
subject to those agents can, Ii they burn
at all, only smolder, and In no case can
they blaze up In the sudden and terrible
manner In which so many fatal aecl
dents have occurred to the fair wearers

THE COLUMBUS
WOODEN Manufacturing CO,

A MONG the enterprises in our state richly
n deserving encouragement and patronage 10
that of the Columbus Woolen Manufacturing
Company. This Company was organized IN
1851, when q large and substantial brick manu-
factory was erected at the loot Of Mound street
was ut first $4,000 1t has been gradually In
creased, and is at present $4,000
For the last five or six years the Manufacturing
Company has been, as it is now, in a hourishing
and prosperous condition. Its business has been
extended; its facilities enlarged; It's credis
placed upon firm basis, and It's manufactuIed
goods are in constant demand and meet with
ready sale. For this prosperous ana Increased
business in the Mandatory the Company and
the public are mainly indebted to j; I: BTnck,
Esq, the Secretary and Treasurer of the Com.
pany, who, having had the general oversight OF
Its affairs, has managed them with singular
fidelity, prudence and sagacity.
To give some idea of the amount OF business
done in the Mandatory, 1t uses, up annually
HsUS6 @ @ % NaSS 5 sotb f The goods manu-
featured are purely of wool, and consist prin-
cipally of plain and fancy cassimeres, doesk1nsf
stocking yarns. These are sold at wholesale OF
retail at the office in the Mandatory. A.
There are in the Manufactory 4 sets OF ma
chinery, including 200 spindles and ~ power
looms, running daily. The number OF employees
is fifty-six, about onehalf of whom are females.
The wool used is PRINCIPALLY procured IN ono, 9n,
the East. The enterprise is in all respects strict
| ly q Western one.
AS such, and especially as home enterprise,
its claims upon our citizens are paramount,
while the qualities of its goods are superior for
wear and durability TO those manufactured in
| the East, for this conclusive reason-that they
| are wholly free from cotton or shoddy. so
! thought and so judged the committee on manu-
factured woolen goods at the recent state Fair,
| for they awarded seven out of the nine prem1"
| ums offered on such goods to the Columbus
| Woolen Manufacturing Company.
