some one under the cognomcn Of" PENonscOrr"
=" had his say" All right, was busy, and glad
that some one stepped In to " keep you posted"
Capt. y. G. CARR's steam saw mil two miles
up the river, was burned las week II Is loss,
not pnly to him, but the country, being very

The County Sabbath School Convention met
last Saturday 2sth, ut Tontogany, with large
Attendance Of children Lig and ii,tie; Schools
| from Bowling Green, Portagcvllc Plain, His-
kinS, Washington Chapel, 0tsigo, Grand Rapids,
| Tontogany, Weston, and others whose gengrnph-
lcal location did not learn, were there. Tho
| arrangements by the citiaml OF Tontogany
were very good, except they did net provide
water so0n enough on the grounds ana not as
much as was required, but they had fitted up
the fair ground In gnn style and arranged seats
and tables To accommodate all the schools.
Rev Mr. WRIGHT uf this place made the open
ing address, and was followed by Rev, MIR. kALB
and others The singing by several of tho
sclools was very good, showing great improve
| meut IN sabbath school singing over what 1t was
| few years ago. As this was the first mass
| Sabbath Schnul Convention IN the county, the
| arrangement by tho officers for speakers and
other accessories was not as good as Il will be
| another year. The schools from Perrysburg
were looked for with good deal Of interest, aud
| there was much disippointm mt when II was
ascrrtaiurd they would not be present, as II was
| expected tha, some rE,rd gnod singing would be
| rendered. Everybody appeared to be pleased,
| aud ns the grounds are very Rnc, il is under
stood the next Convention will bc held Mt tho
same place, being more convenient than any
| other point for Il majority Of the schools.
| Your correspondent Of last week was not
| quite posted IN speaking OF tho subscription nf

have raised over twenty thousand dollars,
and expect To do better than that in the village.

Political circles nro beginning to show slight
! movement since the Wnterrijird held their conven-
| ton Saturday. They have SO, up n very good
set of men to bc knocked down which un'
doubIedly will be the case with all, unless II Is

of filling the office Of commissioner ot tho o'ois
county, andlloek after the interests OF the count'
