Martin Kingseed has purchased a
strip of ground on the east side of
Main street, opposite Hoyer & Huff
mans block, p by &c feet, on which
he will erect business room in the
spring. Mr.. John Andes will also,
in conjunction with Mr. Kingseed,
erect a business room, the block to
be similar to that of Hoyer & Huff
man. 1t is probable that other par
ties will extend the block south to
MOrgan's grocery, which will add
much to the appearance of Main
] street. The old frame shanties now
occupying such valuable building
places and near the central part of
town have long been considered a
nuisance.
! Wood county, so famous for muir
ders and incendiaries, was the scene
of ANOTHER stabbing afray last Sun
day evening. While some young
men were going home from church,
near West Millgrove, dispute arose
among them, when one of the party, a
young imam from Fairfield county,
whose name your correspondent did not
learn, stabbed son of Levi Stearns
in FIVE places, none of which will
probably prove fatal. The assaulting
party was arrested next morning,
tried before a Justice, and, in default
, of bail, was sent to Perrysburg Jail.

How Poor Boys Reach the High
est Round.

There are 1919 names who pay
an income tax in this city; sixty-sev-
en- who pay OF incomes of $1,000 or
over. Most ofthese solid men are self
made men who have come up from
the lowest rung of the ladder. The
man who leads the list is A. T. Stew
art, who everyone knows is an Irish
emigrant, commencing life with a
capital of less than twenty-five cents
indeed, with few exceptions, most Of
the parties in the list were scarce as
we'll off as Mr.. Stewart.
Take Henry Keep. He boasts
that he graduated from the poor
house of Jefferson county. Jay
Gould drove a herd of cattle from
Delhi, Delaware, when lad, for fifty
cents day in order to get money to
reach the Hudson river. David
Groesbeck, over thirty years ago,
used to mend old shoes for his broth
er, who was a respectable shoemaker
in Albany. We all know the history
of James Gordon Bennett, Robert
BOuner-pOor boys of full talent and
industry. Rufus Hatch, when a lad.
had an :. bition to hold the reins of a
peddler's wagon. E. D. Morgan
commenced life with q quart measure
of molasses. 1t is scarce a dozen
years since Henry UleWs was an er-
rand boy in one of the banking hous-
es down street. The brothers Selig-
man started out in life with a ped
dler's pack. David Cows in his
younger days retailed pork by the
half pound and mOlasses by the gill.
FL. 7. Helmbold was first a cabin
boy on the sloop Mary Jane that
navigated the Delaware river. So we
might 90 on through the list, and
show that nearly every one of these
solid men were the architects of their
own fortunes. Young men who are
struggling for position, should re-
member that the individuals in the
list had to battle for life just as hard
as they are doing. Let them take
heart and never say die.
Honor and shame from no condition rise;
Act well your part-there all the honor lies

ENTERTAINMENT.

A company of the young ladies
aud gentlemen of Republic gave q
very pleasant entertainment, consist
ing Of dramatic selections, declama.
tons, tableaux, and music, at the
Town Hall, on Thursday evening Of
last week. By special request Of the
citizens present, the exhibition was
repeated on Friday evening, with a
partial change of programme. The
entire programme was well selected,
and offered very agreeable variety
The different exercises were so nu-
merous that we cannot mention each
in detail. The dramatic performance.
"Dead Shot" being the most lengthy,
and the characters all well adapted
to their parts, attracted considerable
attention. Miss Lucy Plott as
Louisa, aud Mr.. J. W. Shaw as Mr..
Timid, the "Dead Shot, were high
u praised for their admirable perfor-
nance of those capital parts. Miss
Carrie Spooner as Chatter J. Bill
derbaek as 'Wiseman,' Mr.. E. Viii
cox as Thornton and Mr.. A. Sc c5tt
as Capt. Cannon, did finely.
'Lochiel's Warming by W. V.
Bromley and J. W. Shaw, in appro-
pirate costume, was we'll presented.
Miss Lizzie Ogden made an excellent
Presiding Officer for Dress Re
form Convention, and Sirs Wilcox
and Bilderbaek made = good hit at
the minstrel Business.
There were several declamations Of
high order. The acting was good
throughout, and in many respects
would do credit to more experienced
performers, but some of the actors
would do well to cultivate greater
volume of voice and a more clear and
and distinct euuneiation. There
we're several in the company, howev-
er, who were scarcely liable to this
criticism. 1t is believed that the re-
mainder of the company will not take
offence at the statement that Miss
Plott, Mr.. Scott and Mr. Bromley ex-
celled in these important particulars.

Temperance Politics,

The organ of Good Templars in

lately been removed from Alliance to
Dayton, in speaking of the late abOr-
tive attempt to make distinct poll

ton, alluding to the meagre vote cast
for that ticket, pertinently says:

that temperance men should work

IDAHO WORLD.
THE OLD MAN.

There is no more sad and touching picture
than the weary old form, as it sits and ponders
upon the days that are past and gone never
again to return. We lnstinctiyely revere the
old folks at home"-our grandfather ana
grandmother, and we commend to the young
and giddy the very good advice gwen below !;
Bow low the head. boy: reverence the OLD
man. Once like you, the vicissitudes OF time
have silvered his hair and changed the round
merry face to the worn visage before you
Once that heart beat with aspirations equal to
any that you ever felt; aspirations crushed by
disappointment, as perhaps yours are destined
to be- Once that form stalked boldly through
the gay scenes of pleasure, the beau ideal of
grace: now the hand Of time has warped that
figure and destroyed the noble carriage. Once,
at your age, he possessed the thousand thoughts
that pass ihroug Oh your brain-now wishing to
accomplish equal to a book of fame, anon i'm
agining, like dream, that he then awoke for
the better. But he has lived the dream very
near through. The time to awaken is at hand,
yet his eye ever kindles at old deeds of daring
and the hand takes firmer grasp of the staff
But bow the head, boy, as you would in your
old age be reverenced.

A HOPEFUL CONvEET.-During late rcvi-
val in Kansas, a notorious old sinner, named
Jim K, was hopefully converted, and got
up in class meeting to give has experience,
He commenced soto roce and in measured
tone: "I-dreamed "a dream. dreamed

here rose in the body of the house and remark
ed, "Will the brother speak little louder =
| can't hear him in this quarter" jim repeat

when another brother rose in another quarter,
and renewed the request. Jim resumed, al

out; "Wil de brudder speak little louder 4,
We can't hear in de gallery" Jim resumed
rociferous7y. II dreamed that | died -

1t may be- added that the faith of the audi.
ence in Jim's conversion was slightly shaken
