Visit to the Ebenezer Orphan Asylum
Flat Rock, Ohio.

Visit to the Ebenezer Orphan Asylum
Flat Rock, Ohio.
This Institution was established in the year
eighteen hundred and sixty-seven, and was
first located at Tiffin, o. In 1869 it was trans-
fered to it present site, at Flat Rock. This
change was made on account of the superior
advantages afforded by the latter place.
The institution was organized by the Ohio
Conference of the Evangelical Association,
but has since been committed to the direction
of General Conference. It has its Trustees
and Board of Directors, who attend to the
management of its affairs.
The buildings are situated Just with out the
village limits, on the institution grounds,
which consist of an excellent farm of one hum
dred and seventy acres. They are OF consider
able size, commodious and substantial; and
afford pleasant and cheerful home, well adap-
ted to the comfort of the inmates. Its sani-
tary rules are commendable. Every thing
within and without is kept scrupulously clean.
Every facility which tends to promote health,
secures attention.
The association is endeavoring to secure an
endowment fund, of one hundred thousand
dollars. Through the untiring energy and
perseverance of its special agent, Rev L Scheir-
man, the sum of sixty thousand dollars is al
deadly secured, in ready money and subsorip-
ton. Waving further preliminaries, we pro-
ceed to briefly detail our observations of its
| internal workings.
Upon our arrival we were ushered into the
reception room. While awaiting the a ppear-
ance of the superintendent, we improved the
| time in taking cursory survey of the sur
roundings The room was spacious, its floor
| being nicely carpeted, and the furnitUTe neat
/ ". and tastfuly arranged. Upon the center
! table several vases, presented an attractive
appearance, and made the air redolent with
| their agreeable aroma. From the wall hung
suspended variety of pictures, eneased IN
plain and arabesque frames, adding much to
| the general appearance of the room.
! The superintendant, Rev Hammer soon
entered. He received US cordiaIy,and engaged
US in an entertaining and interesting CONVEX
sation. Although quite advancedIn years, he is
vet genial and social person. His manner Is
| always pleasant and consIderate. In truth he
/ is the kind christian gentleman, well worthy
| the station he occupies. At our solicitation,
he impaired the desired information, having
reference to the manner in which all its depart
ments were conducted, and, attended us
while visiting its various apartments. In
everything there was perceptible conformity
to systemized rule. Miss Maggie Pfeiffer fills
the position of matron, ,and, to her faithful per-
formsnce OF duty and good management, de-
pends much OF the excellent order and success,

Suicide at Elmore.-One Of those sad
cases Of self-destruction which come to our
knowledge but too frequently, occurred at Ell
moro on the night Of the 18th, and resulted in
the death Of a young man named Thurlow
Cooper, by shooting himself with revolver.
He had been for the past three years clerk in
in the Elmore House, kept by D. n. Day In
this time marriage engagement had been
formed between him and Miss Alice Day
Cooper was a young man of violent passion,
which oftimes held complete mastery over him,
and for this reason Miss Day had told him
sometime previous to his death, that she would
not marry him. The perfect GOODNESS and de-
termination with which he made his arrange
ments for committing the suicidal act, are al
most inoonsistant with sanity, and yet his per-
feet sanity was undoubted. Upon the evening
of the 18th, he asked Miss Day again, if she
would marry him, to which she answered "No."
After this they were in the parlor together
and in her presence he wrote note. Both
then passed out the parlor and he told her if
she would rot marry him he would shoot him

he had borrowed for that purpose. He then
asked if she would come to his room and get the
note he had written. This she refused to do,
and he passed on going to his room, where it
appears he partially removed his clothing, and
getting into bed placed the revolver against his
breast and discharged it, the contents passing
through his left lungs and producing hemorage
from which he died, in few moments. A
young man named Thomas Jefferson White,
logged in the same room with Cooper, and was
awakened by the report of the revolver. He
heard Cooper utter, in low voice, ''My God.
JEFF, Ny God" and Immediately sprang from
his bed, but as there were no matches in the
room, he hastily drew on some clothing went
down stairs, and gave the alarm. He returned
with others just in time to see him breath his
last. His remains were brought to Fremont
and his funeral attended on Sunday afternoon.
from the residence of his brother-in-law Mr..
Leary.
The following is the letter which he wrote
and left for Miss Alice Day:

Child Lost.-On Saturday last, farmer
with his wife and child, from Seneca county
came to the city to sell and buy, as is customary
for farmers to do, especially on Saturday
While upon Front st., the child, three or fou1
years of age, became separated from its parents
and before its absence was noticed, had wan
dered out of sight and hearing. The parents
were nearly wild with fears, and Immediately
commenced search up and down Front street,
for their child. The screams of the mother at
tracted the attention ofpeople along the street,
who hastened out to learn the cause Of such
agonizing cries and frantic movements. In
the mean time, the father had been making
diligent search, and found the lost child in the
lower part of town, wandering about as I'M
conce1nedly as if its parents were not nearly
crazy at its absence. The joy Of the mother,
on seeing her child, was as great as though 1t
had been rescued from the jaws of terrible
death.

Elwood's Female Minstrels.-This
troupe, which, by the way, is great novelty,
will give two exhibitions in Mammoth Hall,
next week, on Wednesday and Thursday even-

ever it has appeared, and have called forth the
highest encomiums. The troupe performed
for six weeks consecutively, in Boston, where
it met with unparalleled success. The PrOvi-
dence Press, speaking of performance there,
says:

Painful Accident.-A most distressing
accident occurred, a short time since, in York
township. A lady residing in Cleveland, came
out with her son, a boy about twelve years Of
age, to visit family by the name Singer.
They were met in Clyde, by Mr.. Singer, and
conveyed in a carriage to his residence. One
of the horses was colt, which had been driven
but few times, and was wild and dangerous
animal. The boy expressed his desire to ride
the colt, but was told by Mr.. Singer that it
would be unsafe, but that he might ride the
old horse as much as he wished. Arriving
home, the horses were unhitched from the car
rage, and fastened to a fence. During Mr..
Singers absence, the boy unhitched the colt,
and jumped upon its back, evidently deter
mined to convince MIR. Singer that he could
manage him. He was no sooner seated upon
the back of the solt, than it commenced rearing
and plunging, and whirlng suddenly about

Arrangements for the lecture course in
Norwalk, for this winter bave ceen completed.
Why can't Fremont have a course of lectures,
is asked By a number. The answer is easily
given. 1t can, but won't. Those men who
have ample time to devote to organizing a
society, won't treat you with common civility
if you broach the subject to them. But there
are those who would go ahead if they could be
assisted and supported by our citizens. Ii one
OF two individuals should act Independently
in the matter, and arrange for d course OF
lectures, at their own risk, they would be ac-
cused of mercenary motives, and many would
refuse to attend on this account. Well, it may
be q consolation to read OF the grand treats
they are having in other places.

the boy lost his balance, and as he fell
his head struck a tree with such force as to
produce instant death. His clothing caught
in the harness as he fell, and the colt started
off on wild run dragging the hfeless body Of
the boy after him. Mr.. Singer went to the
door Just in time to see the colt disappear, and
immediately started in pursuit. After going
about half mile, he found the body of the
boy terribly bruised and mutilated He con-
veyed it at once-to the house, and to the grief
striken mother, whose anguish at beholding
the mangled remains of her boy is beyond
description.

A Sad Accident occurred near Monroe
vile, on Thursday the I4th. As Mrs. Gardner
Young, was returning from Monroeville to her
home, her horse became heightened at hand
car, and ran away. Mrs. Young kept her seat
in the buggy, while the horse was running,
for nearly two miles, when, It is supposed, she
found her strength giving way, and tied the
reins to the buggy and let the horse go. Soon
after she fell from the buggy striking on the
back Of her head with such force that she
died in a short time.

Kicked by Horses Coincidence
On Saturday last DR.. Jno Rice was called to
attend Philip Nichols, living about six miles
out the Rollersville road, who had been kick
ed by horse and had his arm broken, and
was otherwise injured. About the same time
DR.. L. Gessner was called to see Philip Mich
OILS, who lives about the same distance from
the city, on the river road, who had been been
kicked by horse, and had his jaw injured,
and otherwise hurt. In the evening the ply
sician, happened to meet, and each mentioned
the fact that they had been called to visit Mr..
Nichols, who had been kicked by horse, but
they each thought the other mistaken in re-
gard to the injury, until they discovered they
had visited two different persons. Both the
injured parties are doing well.
