Farmers are happy over the fn'
rain of Tuesday night.
Mrs. Catharine Myers died, il
this place, on the Goth inst, of con-
sumption.
Rev. Charles Reynolds, of the
N. E. Church, returns to this charge
much to the qualification of hi:
friends, both in and out of the
church.
A large number of our people at
tended Conference, at Findlay, Sun
day last.
The new German Lutheran Church
was dedicated Sunday last. A large
number were in attendance from
Findlay and other points. The
dedicatory sermon was delivered in
German by Rev. Mr.. Lang. Our
German friends may well be proud
of the success of the enterprise.
Hon. A. NJ. Corey, State Senator
from the Toledo District, addressed
our people Tuesday evening. The
effort was a very able one, ,and should
be heard by all in the district. 1t
is seldom the fallacies of repudia-
ton, as preached by Pendleton, are
so ably exposed.
! Some time during the past spring,
a fellow, calling himself Peter Nay
lor, came to this place and procur-
ed employment in the harness shop
of Mr.. Peter Kridler. He claimed
to be a French Canadian, and ap-
peared to be a sober, Industrious
man. Laborers being scarce, he
went into the country to work du-
ring harvest. In the meantime, he
was paying his addresses to young
lady of this place, and after an ac-
quaintance Of a few weeks, they
were married-some time in the
month of August. He then opened
a saddle and harness shop, in West
Independence, six miles from this
place. Last week, after borrowing
considerable money from wealthy
farmers, for whom he had done work,
he absconded, leaving wife and cred
itors to each others consolation.
However, the william did all in his
power to relieve his wife of the
care of the furniture which her
father had given her, by stopping
in Fremont, selling it and pocketing
the money. We think it will be
some time before another Fostoria
girl will marry stranger upon the
recommendation of a black mus
tache and a Frenchifed accent.
Our town was well represented
at the State Fair, carrying of its
full share of prizes. James Kelley
seemed to have been particularly
fortunate, securing premiums on all
the stock he had there-frst pre-
MUM on two-year old colts and Sec
ond premiums on brood mare and
pair of mules.
Mr.. N. Portz was on hand with
The Eagle Reaper and Mower. Mr..
Jim. Foreman accompanied him,
and did the "oassing." No doubt |
;he Eagle would have taken the
premium had premiums been given
% any Reaper and Mower.
Among the useful labor-saving
machines was the Buckeye Wood
Saving Machine, manufactured by
Roberts & Co., of this place. 1t
seemed to attract general attention
md took the first premium.
Among the ludicrous incidents
vas the misfortune of gentleman,
we'll known, who undertook to leave
IN the first afternoon train. The
,ars being crowded to Overaowing,
ne fortunately Gas he thought) found
/ seat on the steps of sleeping
,ar attached to the rear of the train.
He complaeently lit his cigar and
,at reading the evening papers,
thinking all the while how fortune
;avored him. In due time the
rain started, leaving the sleeping
,ar and our complacent gentleman
n the depot. Whether he was
guilty of profanity, or thought he
couldn't do the subject justice, this
iepOnent sayeth not.
