OLIVE LoGAN's New BooK.-We
have been favored by Messrs. Parnelee
& Co., Publishers, with advanced
sheets of a new and popular work of
intense interest, by the noted and
talented Reformed Actress, Olive
Logan. It's evidently her master piece,
and is at once a chaste, moral, high
toned and truthful picture Of the sub
ject indicated by the title, "BEFORE
THE FOOTLIGHTS AND BE
HIND THE SCENES" The work
is a scathing onslaught Oh the immor-
alities of the playhouse and kindred
temptations, by one who has been
brought up from a child amid The
scenes so wildly described.
The work takes in the whole range
of what is technically known as the
esShcw Business ;" which embraces the
Opera, Theatre, Museum, Concert,
Circus, Menagerie, Caravan, Lecture,
Street Shows, and every thing which
has an admission fee. No one could
be more competent to reveal practical
workings of the Show World, than

A LARGE SNAKE.-A large serpent
was discovered in the grass on the
farm of MI. G.. w. Gribben by his
dog, in Clearcreek township, in this
county, some ten days since. When
the dog approached, it raised its head
some three or four feet, and made
ready for battle. The dog not liking
the look of the creature, retreated TO
his master, and gave the alarm. Mr..
Gribben, came within a safe distance
of the reptile, took its dimensions,
and thought it best not to ":set the
dog on it" He procured a pole of
reasonable length, and advanced to
the contest. The snake elevated its
head, curved its neck, and showed
plenty of grit. Mr.. Gribben, gave
it two or three blows with the pole,
and then made an easy conquest. The
serpent measured about eight feet in
length, and was nine or ten inches in
circumference. Mr.. Gribben was un
able to decide to what class of 'sar-
pints'' his snake-ship belonged. 1t is
most likely, however, that it had es-
capped from some menagerie.

DEsFRoYINGP PROPERTY. -Someper-
SOIL orpersons, not having the fear ofthe
law before his or their eyes, made a
laid upon the the front part of the
store of j. M. Gorham at the head of
Main street in Ashland on Friday
night last, and demolished two costly
windowsl This conduct, in a civilized
community, is most reprehensible.
There can be 10 excuse for the de-
struction of private property. The
man who will wantonly, wickedly, AMI
maliciously destroy the property of his
neighbor to crafty private vengeance,
possesses a dangerous spirit, and if
allowed to go on, will sooner or later
commit a capital ofense. We have
no knowledge of the parties, but trust
they will sit down and calmly reflect
over the enormity of the act, and change
their ways before the vengeance of a
violated law oyertakes them for other
crimes, which may follow. 1t is I'M
pleasant to comment on these things,
but the peace of society requires that
every person should uphold the laws.

DIsGGRACEFUL.-A married, but
unhappy pair. undertook to settle a
family quarrel on the streets on Fri
day afternoon last. After giving vent
to a volume of wrath, the irate hus-
band, In the exercise of his supposed
right to rule his ''better half" by way
of reminding her of her inferior po-
sition in the family circle, dealt her a
severe blow with his fist upon her head,
the result of which was, a sudden fall.
The injured wife arose, boiling with
rage, seized a boulder, leveled it at
her lord, and he likewise kissed the
earth. BY this time, Marshal Bodine
& Co., were on hand, and the parties
were politely invited to visit Mayor
Ralston. These scrimmages on the
streets are neither amusing o in
structive, and if such acts are repeated,
the names Of the parties will be seen
IN print, which might be notifying to
all concerned. Better kiss, and make
up. and try to live happy in the future.
Let not your-angry passions rise, and
you will live longer, be happier and
more prosperous in life.

Hail SToRM.-On Tuesday last,
quite a storm passed over the central
part of Milton township in this Jul
ty. In the region of the Nelson's,
and Sloans, very large Jumps of hail
fell-some measuI ing owe eight inch
es in circumference. The fruit trees,
wheat and vegetation generally, were
considerably damaged by the Storm
In this connection, it is proper to state,
that the fruit prospect, in. every part
of this county, has never been finer,
at this period of the year; and if
nothing happens, our farmers and
fruit growers will have an abundance
of apples, and thousands of bushels OF
luscious peaches this fall. We are
particularly anxious to see a fine crop
Of peaches once more; for that crop
has been nearly a complete failure, in
this region, for the last ten years.
