.......In an adjoining county the old
adage of "twO strings TO the bow"
was recently very significantly revers-
ed. Two widowers, one of them a
personal friend oil ours and a most es-
timable gentleman, each paid their
addresses to widow lady, and each,
with such apparent success, that she,
unwilling to hurt the feelings of eth
er, or determined to secure the most
active and energetic, suffered both of
them to procure a marriage license,
and each quietly invited his special
friends to witness the expected cere-
mOny.
Our friend, however, became aware
that the other gentleman, whom he
had never met, and of whose aspira-
tions he was ignorant, had procured a
license for the same lady, and he i'm
mediately adopted policy of mast
erly inactivity, and quietly eOnstitu-
ted himself an observer.
AS an immediate consequence, in
stead Of receiving congratulations on
his marriage, he is now receiving
them much more warmly upon his
wise discretiOn.-JouT ........ The |
Town Council has instructed the
Mayor to draw up an Ordinance MAX
ing the offices Of Treasurer, Marshal,
and Street Commissioner elective
We are glad of it. The people can be
safely trusted to attend to their own
business Candidates for office will
now have the pleasure of going to the
"SOvereigns" instead of the "Coun-
clip for favors. Having due notice,
they will govern themselves accord
ingly. ......... Come out to the Railroad
Meeting at the Court House, on Mon
day evening January 10Th, 1870. Let
everybody turn out. If we want a
Railroad let us be in earnest, and show
our earnestness by our efforts and sub
scriptions. 1t is a melancholy fact
that public enterprises frequently re-
ceive but little assistance from those
who have most wealth, and who are
most likely to receive advantages
from them. This ought not so to be.
We trust our wealthy citizens of town
and county, who have not yet SUBJ
scribed, will step forward to the front,
and give. the projected Road their
countenance and substantial aid. Such
an opportunity may never come to Bu-
cyrus again Forum.

The exhibition given by the pupils |
Of the Upper Sandusky Union Schools |
at Berry's Hall, on Friday evening |
last, was well attended. "Wizard of |
Valley Forge" was rendered in very
fine manner by the amateur partici- |
pants. "When we are Men," by II
youths, relating what they could and
aOO1IJd do, when they became men,
was really comical, and they mastered
their tasks nObly. Much credit is
due our worthy and efficient Superin-
tendent, Prof. w. T. Fry, and the Ia
dy teachers, in their efforts to make |
this exhibition what it was-a sue
cess. The Court of Common Pleas
convened in regular session on Mon
day, Judge Mott presiding. The
Grand Jury, after twodays' labor, on
" brought forth one Indictment.
We were in error in saying in the col
umns of THE UNION that the time

shooting them does not expire until
the 1st of February.-Union In con-
nection with the items above, the
