MIR. d. INQUIRE
Made our town a visit again this
week with his familiar wagon, which,
though Father titnered in appearance,
carries no dead things, for Mr.. Nc
Guire himself is still alive to business,
and that Wheeler & Wilson's Sewing
Machine is almost thing Oflife. So
near does it approach TO vitality that |
in many houses about here it has been
adopted as one of the family.
A LITTLE "UNPLEAsANTNESs"
Occurred at the dance at the Town
Hall, on Thursday evening of last
week, arising, it is said, from the dis
orderly conduct of a number of
"roughs'' from Tiffin and other places
who were fired up with whisky. Is it
not about time for our Mayor, COun-
ell and Marshal to wake up to their
duty and adopt some measures to put
a stop to the making of our otherwise
orderly town the battle-ground for
drunken fellows from the surrounding
towns and country. Let us have the
Municipal Code and suitable Ordinan-
ces adopted and CalabOOse erected,
then teach a few Ofthem a lesson
Men of property, it is for your interest
to urge this matter forward. The rep
utatiOn of the town is at stake, and
with it the value of your property.
HOUSE-BRRAKING.
Rev. d. S. Truckenmiller and fam
lily spent Christmas and the Sabbath
following at Carey, and on returning
home on Monday afternoon found
that their house had been entered by
some persons without leave. Nothing
was missed that we have heard of, but
the intruders seem to have made
themselves very much at home, for
the house was well warmed, and q
bOuntiful supper prepared and about
thirty very innocent appearing people
waiting to receive the Minister and his
wife as guests. Rather a pleasant af-
fair after all.
