TiaIn AbFOad.-Mr. J. W. Bailey,
who recently paid a visit to this place,
thus writes Of it to his own paper, the
Bureau, I'LL Republican:
"When we arrived, we were met ct
the depot with j substantial coach,
aud conveyed 10 the house Of one o.
Tidin's substantial citizens-Juhu
KaulI. Here we we're received in the
usual style os the order, aud provided
with a number one breakfast. or the
calls and greetings that followed We
must leave our readers 70 picture the
scenes in their own imaginatiOn-suf-
fee il to say that We have not spent q
week more pleasantly for these many,
many days.
During our stay we called on the
editorial fraternity of the place, and
were received with open arms"
[Modesty fnrbids our publishing the
remarks made about the Tiffin pa
pers.-EDS.
"Tifiin has a population Of over sew
en- thousand Inhabitants, and boasts
OF having four hotels, two banks,
three fOunderies, large wooden fac
tory, fifty OF sixty stores, eleven
churches, and something less than a
hundred saloons. II Is situated on the
Sandusky river; and, being centrally
located in a rich section Of cOuntry,
drives q fiOurishing trade. The ricn-
est man in the place is R. w. Shaw
han, who is reputed TO be a million
aire. Tiffin has one drawback to il
however; il is located in a Democratic
county and a Democratic eOngres-
sional district, but in the latter, this
fall the Republicans elected Charles
Foster by nearly thousand majority.
Mr. Foster is number one man, and
will give q good account of his stew
ardship. 'Sich is life
Among the numerous friends We
had the pleasure Of seeing an | visit
ing while at Tiffin, were Col. John c.
Lee, John T. Huss, Henry Wenner
and lady, Henry Ebbert, Rev. Mr..
Collier the fighting parsOn,' Captain
Shaw and lady, Mrs. Abbie COe, John
Kaull and lady, besides a hundred or
two of church friends. On the whole,
we never enjoyed a more pleasant Wis
it than that just terminated in our re-
turn from Ohio. Having availed our
selves Of breathing spell, We shall
now renew our editorial labors with
renewed energy, and try to give the
good people of Bureau county better
ratiOns than ever.

We have given towns approximat-
ing the size Of Tifin, and it will be
seen that but two exceed the mupiei-
pal taxes we have to pay, while the
balance are considerably below.
Now, .he question arises, why are
our taxes 90 high? 1t certainly can
not be for the reason that we are car
ying on any great work, for such is
not the case. The only improvements
going on are those that naturally
come with the growth OF a thriving
city Of the second class. Such being
the case, the high taxes must bt
aseribed to loose management on the
part Of those having in charge the
welfare Of the city. We pay too much
out of the treasury for the improve
Enents made, considering the extent
and real value.
Who can explain this matter? W,
would like TO hear from persons post
ed on these matters. The people wan
to know about these things, and it i
but right that they should.

on that day, as a holiday offering to
the Rowland Hill of America, that

Dom Piatt is not as bold as he was
was in bis younger days, if we may
believe the following from the Toledo
Democrat
Denn Piatt-independent, racy Dom
was challenged by one Rice, tu
fight q duel-the weapons TO be pis
tolls loaded with villainOus gunpOwdel
and unwholesome loaded bullets.
Dom declined the doubtful glory to
be achieved IN such Rice field, and
the sender Of the challenge was placed
under arrest.
But we remember the time when
Dom did accept challenge, and
GtOod face 20 face with the antagonist
on the classic bank of the SciOtO Xiv
er, near Columbus. Neither Of the
bloody-minded antagonists fiinched,
bur beth fired as the word was given
aud both were unhurt, for the pistols
we're loaded Nth ashes!
We do not believe much in Donn's
bravery except on paper. He is a
general traducer Of better men than
himself, and aims all his paper wads
ut Republicans. That is the reason
why Democratic papers pronounce
him racy D5nn, and why the Com
mercial employs him to correspond
for that paper. His letters of abuse
about Republicans gives the CONNER
c{dl thousands of Democratic readers.
