3Ir. Thomas BOwlus, Of Fremont,
was engaged husking corn recently for /
Mr.. Ruth, on the farm Of Mr.. Adams,
near Bellevue, and as an experiment
husked two bushels, accomplishing
the task in 5 minutes and 10 seconds.
He then husked for an hour, and upon
measurement it was found he had
. husked l9 bushels inside the hour.
Shortly after two O'Clock, on Wednes-
day morning, c fire was discovered in

State and High streets. The building
| was destFOyed.........The number Of

.-.......The North Carolina Minstrels,
Tifin Troupe, gave an exhibition in
Fremont on Wednesday night.
DR.. Ferrard has delivered two lectures
in Fremont. They were well receiv-
ed.-.......Last Thursday night a gener-
al row took placeam lot Of young
fellows, who, in attending a dance,
forgot their better nature a ID histed
too much benzine. The result was
several black eyes, and a great super
fluffy of swearing and cursing. 1t is
bad, but who can expect anything Of
little Fremont.........A new platform
has been erected by the Lake Shore
Company, at the depot. The erection
Of the new depot will be commenced
early in the spring. The ornamental
part of the wood work is now being
prepared in the shops at Norwalk.-
The new building will be the finest
one between the cities of Cleveland
and Toledo. What a waste of money
on little Fremont........."COl. Cooper"
a sort of whisky dead beat, who has
a diarrhea of words and little talent,
We regret to learn, has again fallen
from grace. We have no idea he wi
ever do otherwise.
CRAWFORD COUNTY.
Bucyrus people are emigrating to
Florida. Rather a good move. ......
The Bucyrus publishers are to deliver
lectures before the Teachers Institute
in that place. Who is the joke on?......
The other day one of our Infrmary
Directors, by the by, one of the best
men in the county, when taking a
lunatic, Eliza Dodge, to the Asylum,
was hailed at the Delaware depot by
a young lady who supposed he was
her father: "Pa! Pa! Oh Pa ~ togeth-
er with divers and sundry other ex-
carnations known only to the female
vocabulary. Whereupon the lunatic
raised her shrill voice, and made such
wholesale charges against the young
lady, that a tremendous excitement
was created.
wYANDoT COUNTY.
Last week we spoke Of the terrible
explosion, or collapse Of the boiler Of
the saw mill, formerly belonging to
w. D. & ]. R. Cook, but now to w. D.
Cook and Geo. a. Gibson, located
about fonr miles northeast of Upper
Sandusky. w. D. Cook, E-q., informs
US that Mr.. John Harrison, (colOred)
who lost his life by this sad affair, was
a first-class mechanic, industrious and
of commendable habits generally
/ He followed the business for twenty
years, had witnessed several blow-ups,
but always escaped unharmed till this
last one. 1t seems that he was hit by
bricks, thrown by the explosion, which
knocked him among the logs. He
was so shOekingly bruised about the
head that he lived only till about six
o'clock in the evening. His home
was at Lima, where he leaves q wife
and two children ......... The population
Of our Village is gradually increasing,
in the natural way. In the "gOod old
way" probably.........The fair for the
benefit of the Presbyterian church,
will commence Tuesday evening, De-
cember 10Th, with an oyster supper in
the basement of the church.
HANCOCK COUNTY,.
The Pennsylvania Central R. R.
are making an effort to build a road
from Mansfield to Coldwater, and the
people of Bowling Green are making
an effort to get the Road through that
place. Can not the citizens Of Han
cock afford to do as much to secure
this Road as the people of Wood
sounty? Let them take this
matter into consideration. .........
The farmers Club, is we'll attended and
is success. The school building, known
as Thomas School House, in the
Northeast corner of Biglick township,
was burned down en- Saturday night
last. There will be meeting of the
members oftheI. o. G. I. tomorrow
night, for the purpose Of winding up
the affairs of that institution. ......
Quite a lively sensation has been kick
ed up in and around Arlington by the
peccadillOes, of a singing teacher, who,
by the way, is said to be good teach
er, but who let his UdloT exceed his
discretion. 1t seems he intended hav-
ing a concert at the close of the term,
and the "big girls" were rehearsing
their pieces, when, no doubt, think
ing of the girl blowing the dinner
horn, he essAyed to put their feet in
proper position, and in all probability
was a little too free. At any rate,
some Of the girls took exceptions
to his style OF manipulating around
their chests and feet, and reported him
to their parents. Both parties have
their friends, and il is likely to make
a split in the churches there. The
man, of course, denied any wrong
motive, but upon being arrested and
tak0n before Ezra Longworth, ]. P,
he plead guilty and was fined SIS and
costs, amounting in all to about $50.
He has now caused the arrest Of the
father of oneof the girls, on the charge
of assault and battery.
