The TOYS OF THE PASTA RECORD OF De-
PARTED JoYs.-In an interesting article in AU
tie Year Round on the toys of the past half
century occur these remarks
'Itinerant toymen seem always to have
dealt in a class of ware different from that
sold in shops. Early in this century a China
man who sold small drum, which, with peas
inside, answered the purpose of rattle, and
fish suspended at the end of a line, was as
we'll known figure as the Turk who sold
rhubarb in Cheapside. There was another
drum which was hung from a stick by piece
of horsehair, and when this was whirled
round a rafting sound was produced, not by
the drum itself, which was merely a weight,
but by the friction of the horsehair against
the stick A modern and very attractive
street toy was an ingenious machine, the mere
movement of which causes large flock of
clay birds to fiutter down number of wires.
Ten years have now elapsed since this inge-
nious toy was at the height of its popularity,
but we do not often see it now.
''The fiat wooden snake, with Joints of cat
gut, which, held by the tip of the tail, waves
backwards and forwards to the terror of timid
urchins, has still its place in some toy-shops;
SO also has the toad whose tail, turned round,
is fastened under the throat with cobbler's
wax, and who leaps when the wax becomes
less adhesive, though this rude method of pro-
ducing spontaneous motion is driven into the
shade by the more perfect clockwork. But a
snake made of single spiral shaving of horn,
with a solid head of the same material, which
was capable of being extended to a con-
siderable length, and which, when pressed to-
gether was packedinto small cylindrical box
las fled beyond the limits of my observation
A fault in the mimic reptile was the ridcu-
lously extreme delicacy of its constitution.
The vertebral column, of which alone its
body was composed, was always getting some
unfortunate twist, and an attempt to repair
the misfortune was generally followed by a
compound fracture. Equally fragile were
those little hollow wax dolls which are now
furnished by shops of the humblest kind,
where the bottle which contains them is
ranged with other bottles, scantily stocked
with sugar-plums, brandy-bslls and other old
fashioned dainties. Like many specimens of
the great toy, man, the little hollow doll had
its social status once, though it is now in
lowly places. / recollect very we'll the at
tempt of a young lady in her teens to dress
such a doll. She worked with fairy
fingers, but the attempt to put a sash
round the waist had a result like that which
is said to arise from the bite of huge shark.
and which is described in the pathetic ballad
"Bryan and Pirene." Destined to perpetual
destruction, the little wax doll had its avenger
in the sturdy Dutch mannikin, which is ut
terly indestructible, save in its hair, and
which, seated on a table, had knack of bob
bing forward and assailing its proprietor with
its hard, sharply pointed nose. The hollow
dolls successor is the little china doll of the
present day, which, always connected with 9

pose Of perpetual ablution. BE it borne in
mind that, IN the olden times, every doll was
a miniature of a grown-up person. The doll
representing infancy is a modern invention,
and in the French vocabulary has a name TO
itself, being called ''bebe," whereas the
other doll takes the generic name ''poupee."

c. L. & D. RAmwAY.-An enthusias-
tic meeting in the interest of the Cincin-
matt, Lebanon & Delaware Railway was
held few days since at Xenia. A con-
siderable amount was subscribed to pay
the expenses of the survey, and plan
for canvassing Clark and Greene coun-
ties in behalf of the road was agreed up
on. All indications seemed favorable to
the success of this road which, if built.
will without doubt become part Of a
great through route to the east. west and
south. The stockholders in Warren
county it is said have now an available
capital of more than $500. 900. including
the franchises and bed of the old Leba-
non road. and about $4,000 in subscrip-
tons. The people along the line of the
road, south of Xenia, seem sanguine
that it will be built beyond doubt.

ALUMNI MEETING.-A meeting of the
Resident Alumni of the Ohio Wesleyan
University was held at the Office of
Messrs. Carper & Van Deman on Fri
day evening last, May 10th. Prof. T.
c. O'Kane was called to the Chair, and
A. E. Lee was appointed Secretary. The
following resolutions. presented in be
half Of the Executive Committee of the
Alumni Association, were unanimously
adopted;
WHEREAS, The Executive Committee of
the Alumni Association does hereby unan-
imonsly and cordially invite Homer NJ.
Carper, Esq, the senior resident alumnes,
to. deliver the annual address before the As
ISOLATION at the ensuing commencement;
RESOLVED, That the Resident Alumni do
unanimously and emphat1eally endorse the
action of the Committee, and fervently JOIN
them in their invitation to our worthy
brother.
Mr.. Carper felt himself compelled to
decline the invitation thus rendered, for
want of time to prepare a suitable ad-
dress. The meeting then extended the
same request to Prof. w. T. Whitlock
who also declined for similar reasons.
A motion was then made, and after
mature consideration carried, that in the
opinion of the Resident Alumni it is mo-
advisable to have public exercises thi:
year under the auspices of the Associa
ton.
1t was moved by Mr.. Carper that th'
| Executive Committee be requested, ii
view of its inability to procure a speake
this year. to. arrange with the Faculty fo
a public address on the evening alloueC
/ to the Alumni, with the understandin,
+ that the Association desires to retain tha
evening, at all ensuing Commencement
| for an address of their own selection.
: This motion was adopted. and tn
meeting adjourned subject to the call {

THE RAILROAD COMMITTEE set out
on an expedition to Olive Green, Rich
Hill and Mt. Liberty, on Wednesday, for
the purpose of making another effort to
raise the balance of the subscriptions for
the eastern railway. The Olive Green
meeting. we are sorry to say did not
produce very encouraging results
Kingston township increased its sub
scriptons about $1,000. The meeting at
Rich Hill was encouraging. The people
in that vicinity mean to have the rail-
road, if anything they can do will secure
it. Of the Mt. Liberty meeting we have
as yet no report.
The committee has labored faithfully
we may say. has done everything in its
power. Its not disposed to give up thi:
railroad as long as a spark of hope fol
it remains. We hope we may be ablt
to report, next week, a more liberal re
sponse to its efforts, if not that the en-
tire subscription required has been raised
and the road made a certainty

BURNED WITH A LAAIP.-Mrs. Col. G.
A. Frambes, of Sunbury, had a danger
Gus and well nigh fatal adventure with a
lamp on Saturday night last Mrs.
Frambes had retired leaving her lamp
burning, as has been her usual custom,
in the hall adjoining her apartment.
There. was some defect in the burner.
which caused the oil in the lamp to ig-
mite and after a time to boil over and run
down over-the. floor. About midnight
Mrs. Frambes was awakened by the un-
usual light, and springing from her bed
in state of excitement and terror,
threw her night clothes over the lamp as
the readiest way to extinguish it. Hel
clothing ct once became saturated with
the burning oil and in an instant her per
son was ablaze. She then rushed down
stairs and into the yard, where she sue,
ceeded in extinguishing the fire on hel
clothing but not until after she had beer
severely and dangerously burned. Judge
Stark, her father, who was sleeping il
an adjoining chamber. being awakened
by the noise, succeeded in putting ou
the fire in the lamp by the use of his be,
clothes. The oil was the "Rose" varie
ty and did not explode, as we are in
formed by a gentleman acquainted wit
the facts.
For two or three days Mrs. Fralnbe
was in a very critical condition, but o
Tuesday began TO mend and we are il
formed that she is now in fair way I
recover. Her burns are very severe an
have caused her intense suffering
: Col. Frambes was absent at the tim
she received her injuries.

A CURIOUS RELIC.-Dr. ]. H. Besse,
of this place, is the possessor of a most
rare and curious newspaper relic. 1t is
a copy of ''The New England Courant, -
and bears date "From Monday Feb, 1,
to Monday February II. 1928" The
paper is therefore over r47 years old. It
is printed on coarse material, very much
resembling in texture and appearance
that on which Confederate newspapers
were printed in the stress of wartime.
The type is of the real antique style and
looks odd enough to the eye familiar
with the modern clear-cut Roman.
But that which gives most interest to
this strange relic of the past is the fact
stated in the following imprint Printed
and sold by Benjamin Franklin in
Queen Street, where Advertisements are
taken in. Franklin was born in 1906
He was therefore, at the time of the pub
lication of this sheet, II years of age.
In course of a short Introductory arti-
Gle the editor says: ''The main Design
of this Weekly Paper will be to enter
tain the Town with the most comical
and diverting Incidents of Humane Life,
which in so large a Place as Boston, will
not fail of universal ExemP1ifcation.
Nor shall we be wanting to fill up these
Papers with a grateful Interspersion of
more serious Morals, which may be
drawn from the most ludicrous and odd
Parts of Life"
In another place appears the follow
ing His Majesty's Speech to the Par
lament, Oct. II, tho already published,
may perhaps be news to many of our
Country Readers we shall therefore in
sert it in this days paper" Then fol-
lows "His Majesty's most Gracious
Speech to both Houses of Parliament,
on Thursday October II, 1922"
The advertisements are curious. Here
is a specimen:
"a Servant Boys Time for 4 years to
be disposed of. He is about I6 years OF
Age, and can keep Accompts. Enquire
at the Blue Ball in Union Street and
know further
The editor makes the following graft
flying announcement
This Paper having met with so gen
eral an Acceptance in Town and Coun-
try, as to require a far greater Number
of them to be printed, than there IS oi
other public Papers; and it being besides
more generally read by a vast number
of Borrowers, who do not take it in, the
Publisher thinks proper to give this pub
lick Notice for the Encouragement o.
those who would have Advertisement:
inserted in the public Prints, which they
may have printed in this Paper at mod
crate Price"
It appears by this that our venerabl,
forefathers were addicted to borrowing
newspapers as well as the present gener
alton. There is one consolation in this
not for the publisher but for the adver
tiser. The noble army of borrower
help to circulate the advertisements
They serve this useful purpose if no 9th

citizens who take pride in the prosperity of
our town, subscribe literally for this con-
cert and thereby secure to those who are
willing to endure the labor the means o.
furnishing a first class silver Cornet Band.
The band Will be assisted in this concert
