Several gentlemen Of Youngstown
have pledged their city for the raising
of three hundred thousand dollars tfo
the construction of the P. Y. & p.
R., provided the citizens of Paines
vile will cur between Youngstown
and gainesville, five hundred thousand
dollars.
Daniel M'Fadden, who was a color
bearer in the eth o. V. L, met with
severe accident at Homer Hamilton
& Co.'s foundry, in Youngstown, last
week. He was hosting some heavy
pipe by means of a crane, when his hold
| slipped and the crank of the windlass
struck him under the eyebrow, breaking
the bone.
Some of our principal streets need
cleaning very badly. Mud, trash and
filth have accumulated in most disa-
greeable quantities on the paved streets.
We are informed that there are upwards
of 81, 6OOin the city tressuryto the credit
of the Street fund, a portion of which
might be expended in cleaning the prin-
cipal thoroughfares.
"A peddlar representing TO sell per-
fumery, visited a house in Hubbard a
few weeks ago, when all were absent ex-
cept the lady of the house, and uRcork-
ing several bottles of perfumery at last
handed one containing c%hloroform, from
which the lady inhaled to a state of un-
consciousness, during which time the
peddlar ransacked the house.
Several robberies occurredlast week,
at Youngstown. Among the losers were
the proprietor of the Shields House, so,
and Rev. W. f. Wilson, whose house
was entered by burglars, and sos and a
silver watch valued at $50, taken. 1t
was rumored that a youth from this city
was arrested as the suspected thief, but
as he has been seen on our streets since
then, the evidence must have been insult
1icient.
Arrangements have been completed
by the Erie r. R. Co., at this and all 9TH
er stations along its line, to issue excur-
sion tickets to parties of twenty or more
persons to San Francisco and return,
good for sixty days, at great reductions
from regular rates. Parties desiring to
avail themselves of a pleasant trip, an
be furnished with tickets at the com
pany's office, at the upper depot.
A Montville, Geauga Co., gentleman
informs the ChGrdon Democrat, that, on
the day that Mr.. Isaac Leggett was 50
years Of age, he commenced trimming
apple orchard of 200 trees, and con-
tinued his work from day to day until
The trees in this orchard
were all raised by MI. L. from the seed,
and are about thirty years old. Consid-
ering the extreme age of Mr.. L., this is
a great achievement.
The law in regard to cattle running
at large was not changed in any particu-
lar by the Legislature at its last session.
The newspaper announcement that the
law had been so amended as to require
constables to take up cattle, is not cor-
rect. A bill making such a provision
passed the House, but failed to pass the
Senate. We have taken pains to ascer-
tain the facts, as many inquiries have
been make in regard to the status of the
law, and parties concerned may rely
upon the correctness of the information
herein contained.
-Messrs. Dana have determined to
proceed Immediately with a large build
ing for the use of the Musical Institute.
The building will be erected on the west
side of Mahoning Avenue, opposite Mr..
B. H. Fitch's residence. 1t will be a
handsome three-story brick, one hun
ired and twenty-five by forty-fve feet,
a large hall on the third floor.
The contract for the brick has been given
TO Messrs. Hurlinger& Co. The rapidly
increasing popularity Of the Institute,
and the pressing demand for increased
accommodations, seem to leave Mr..
Dana no alternative but the immediate
erection of the proposed building.
