ED. SrATEsMAN--Dear Sir: Dublin Is i'm
proving. have no doubt that you are
aware OF the TACT thai Dublin has been the
most unwholsome place In the State of
Ohio; and perhaps, in the United States
But Dublin sis tar better now than 1t ever
has been before. Moral sentiment has been
aroused against the whisky trade, and Dub
lin has now temperance society of about
fifty members.
the revival just closed in the Christian
church brought into Its folds about fifteen
persons; some of them are prominent la
dies. The great trouble with Dublin's
theology Is, that they pray all around the
things they need. like the man who went
all around his barn to 20 In at the door. II
could induce the entire church to go to q
fl irst class Seminary and take the Enegeti-
cal year and part of the HomiIetical year

shall try to have them 90.
The Scioto river is higher now than It
has been since 1s47. Then it was about
three feet higher than it Is now, according
to what the Oldest settlers tell me.
Both Republicans and Democrats here
anticipate a more glorious Democratic VIC
tory next fall than ever before.
Yours, Lodos.

SPRING.-This most bewitching of sea-
sons is at hand. Now is heard the song of
the blue bird and the robin, while the gem
ial sunshine, that blessing of value ines
timable, warns into renewed life the trees
and shrubbery, and the bright and refresh
ing green Of the fresh grass and new leaves
makes us glad. Of all seasons of the year,
Spring is the most bewitching. All nature
seems to rejoice at Its release from the fro
zen embrace OF old Winter, and gives
silent praise to the Creator for His wisdom
. I'd goodness in so arranging the seasons
chat as one grows wearisome another takes
It's place Now Is heard the glad voices OF
children, making music on the balmy air.
and the sad faces Of winter-bound invalids
glow with pleasure at the prospect Of once
more enjoying Gods most precious and
health giving blessings, pure air and warm
sunlight. Hail, beautiful, delightful Spring,
yours is indeed blessed privilege that OF
making countless thousands happy. We
can appreciate the feelings Of the poet who
expressed himself thus: $50 ass
81 would not die in Spring time.

FROM NEW YORK.

The Erie Railroad Complications.
NEw York, March 30.-It is stated that
Jay Gould, one of the principal directors OF
the Erie railroad, decamped for parts un-i
known, taking with him black travelling
bag, which it is rumored contained between
two and three millions of dollars, being
part of the funds over which Mr.. OsgoOd
was appointed receiver by Judge Barnard.
1t is surmised that Gould is by this time
either at Toledo or Akron, where he is to
let out the remaining contracts for the
building of the broad guage connections be-
tween the Atlantic & Great Western and
Michigan Southern railroads. The money
supposed to be in his possession is to be
used to make the advance payments on ex-
isting contracts. = 1 .=--sis- - 'si1 ~ I-.eq

provsment In the appearance of things at
the Mayors Office yesterday, and the dress
parade of the galoots was pretty extensive,
though but two new recruits were received.
John Mcdowell was drunk, terribly

he got his fill Of beer, he reared and pitched
and cavorted round like circus horse. OF
his ability to whip his weight In wildcats,
he did not entertain shadow of doubt. II
he could, why should he fear few hundred
citizens. He didn't; SO he waded in. He
was captured by one of the officers, ard the
Mayor fined him $40, which he paid.

1.-THE sweetest thing in life" is good
health and good spirits, and if you have
them not, the next best thing is what will
restore bloom to the faded cheek and hap
piness to the dropping heart. The great
and sure remedy is Plantation Bitters,
which our physicians recommend to both
male and female patients as safe, reliable,
agreeable and cordial stimulant. They
contain nothing to disagree with the most
delicate constitution, and have won golden
opinions from all who have tried them; and
probably no article was ever tried by so
many persons. They elevate the depressed
and give strength to the weak.

ceilings, in the form of slabs, to be used as
a substitute for lath and plaster. These
slabs are made of cane fibre, cheap mate
rial obtained from the cane of the Southern
cane brakes, by disintegration, effected by
the explosive force of steam, and costing
about ten dollars ton, which is mixed with
clay, resin, size, and other cheap materials.
The cane fibre is also made into paper of
various kinds.

FIREs.-There was an alarm of fire, we
are told-we didn't hear it-caused by the
burning of chimney on South Public
lane, on Sunday evening. about half-past
nine O'Clock. It was extinguished before
any great damage was done.
On yesterday morning about 2 O'Clock q
fire was discovered In the old frame build
ings on High street, opposite the Opera
House. It was extinguished without any
material loss. This is the third time those
old shanties have been set on fire within
the present month, and although their re-
moval would be of great advantage to that
portion of High street, some means should
be Instituted for the capture and punish
ment of the cowardly incendiary.
