before anything of moment viii trans
pire in either house. The Senate not
having any special business before it,
adjournedover Wednesday andThurs-
day, and gave the use of the chamber
to a meeting of the Ohio Wool Grow
ers' Association on Wednesday even
ing. The attendance at this conven-
ton was rather meagre, but there was
considerable earnestness and entire
unanimitym manifested. Thedepressed
and stagnant condition of the wool
growing interest was predicted by the
speakers as temporary, and a better
one was confidently hoped for. II
was agreed that no good reason exists
for the panic among sheep owners, and
the wholesale sacrifice of their focks,
A~resolution was adopted declaring OPP
position to the renewal of what Is
known as the Canadian Reciprocity
treaty, and GRngress asked to oppose
the introduction of untaxed foreign
woods to the exclusion of home grown
woods. The nextmeeting ofthe Asso-
citation will be at Toledo on the third
day of the next State Fair.
Several bills have been introduced
in the House. Mr.. CANFIELD, OF
Geauga County, offered one to author
ize the commissioners of that County
to erect a new Court House, the old
one having been destroyed by fire.
We learn that our Geauga neighbors
are considerably excited on the ques-
ton of the location of the county seat
Burton being r competitor with
Chardon for the honor.
Petitions have been presented ask
ing in some instances for the repeal,
and IN Others for the amending Of the
patent right law passed last winter.
1t is no doubt true that the law in lis
present shape is too sweeping in its
classification, by implication, OF all
patent rights and vendors of the same
a humbugs and swiudlers.
mWomen's Rights" ideas seem to be
somewhat on the rise in the House,
if We may infer so much from a bill
introduced TO allow married women
exclusive control of their own prop
erty, to buy and sell just as husbands
now may, and to sue and be sued, a
well as ''woo and be wooed." Mr.
ScoTI. a Hamilton County member
introduced a resolution proposing al
amendment TO the Constitution
striking out the word finale" so as tt
allow women TO vote. 1t is not likel!
10 prevail this session, but We hav'
faith to believe that there are children
living who will see woman enjoying
Dolitical acknowledgements and IN
world growing better therefor
