One or two communications are lai
over till next week. We wish our COZ
y respondents, when writingupOn mora
and educational subjects, would tr
and see into how few words they ca
compress their ideas clearly, instea'
Of piling words upon words and cOun
!, ting the ability with which the sub
ject is handled by the number of pa
!. ges Of manuscript it makes.
: Still ABOtheF.-The success attend
: ing the formation Of the Seneca Build
: ing and Loan Association, has prompt
S cd parties TO start still another. Book
r were opened this week at Ridgely'
E law office, for the purpose Of securing
e subscriptions, and if sufficient encour
agement is received, measures will a
once be taken for incorporation. FO
information apply TO J. H. Ridgely
or Philipp Emich.
Special Aeeting.-In pursuance Of {
call by Mayor Griffith, the City COun
ell held a special meeting on Wednes
day night, to consider the matter o.
so dividing the city as to make five
wards. A number of citizens were
present, aud discussion was had pre-
and con. Nothing definite was done
as the Council thought proper to have
a general meeting of the citizens al
City Hall this evening.
Seneca Building Association OF Tiff
fin.-The entire stock of this AssOcia-
ton is taken. The meeting on
Monday was well attended and all
paid their first instalIment. There are
yet many who wish to take stock, and
they will have to go into the old As
sociation, or a new one will have to
De started, or the Capital Stock Of the
Seneca be increased. We should like
to see the stock of the latter increas-
ed.
At a 'prize'' lecture in Bucyrus
Hopley, of the Journal, drew a "Post
office at Confederate Y roads," This
ought to satisfy the lucky man for
losing the Bucyrus Postoffice.
At the same time, Clymer, of the
Forum drew a scholarship for ''Term
at Oberlin." A good thing for him.
One term at OberIin will enable John
r.. to take the coIOred voter to his
arms with the utmost feeling of
equality, which will be good thing
for the Democracy.
COnValeScent.-We are glad TO learn
that Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton has
so far recovered that she is quite con-
fident that she will be able to fulfill
her engagement with the Webster
Literary Society, on Saturday night
of next week. Let all who were dis
appointed at the report of her illness
make due calculations TO be present
and hear this noted woman. Her
subject will be "Open the Door,
which, we surmise, has immediate
reference to Female Suffrage and its
attendant blessings.
The entertainment of the Young
America Hose Co., previous to their
dance on Tuesday night, was greeted
with a large audience. The "niggers"
all did well, and Harry kellogg, the
niggcr-in-chief, was superb.
At the close of the entertainment
Mr.. Kellogg was presented with n new
and beautiful banjo. The presentation
andreceptiOn speeches were the soul of
wit, or what was the same, very short.
Brevity was studied. The dance was
well attended and passed off in the
most pleasant manner imaginable.
The boys netted about $50.
Pioneer Association. meeting
of the Seneca County Pioneers, OH
Tuesday last was very pleasant. There
were not as many present, owing to
the bad roads, as had been anticipat-
ed, but all seemed to enjoy the re-un-
ion. 1t was decided to hold quarterly
meetings in different townships at
stated times. This is n good idea as
it will give all parts of the county an
opportunity to receive the Pioneers.
The interest in this Association is in
creGsing, and it will be one of the
permanent institutions of the county.
We hope it may be so.
The earnings of the Erie Railway
for the first week in February show
an increase of S33, OPS, as compared
with the corresponding period of 1869.
OF this sum S25, 900 is due to increased
receipts in the item of coal tonnage.
The earnings of the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern Railroad during
the first week in February, 1870, were
S239, ,OS6 and in 1869, S2l5,OOO, an in
Grease of S24, ,4O3. The earnings of the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Rail-
road for the same period show an in
crease of S24, $50, while those of the
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railroad show
an increase of S2s, $40.
Beats Kit Burns.-New York has its
noted rat pit, where rats are killed by
every known method; but for quick
and efficient rat killing, commend us
a citizen of this city who, one morn
ing this week, seeing a number of the
vermin in and around an old slOp-pail
near his back door, procured a shot
gun and blazed away, regardless of
the expense of the pail, resulting in
the immediate death of eleven large,
full-grown rats. Sandusky, with its
miles of wharf and millions of rats,
can't beat that.
Subscription COHcert.-This concert
on Friday evening last was well at
tended and gave general satisfaction.
BOOs' Band played, as they always do,
with the'mOst excellent taste. Miss An
ME Augsperger and Miss Jennie PEN
ningtOn, played adifficult Duet on the
piano, and executed itas only finished
players can. The singing of Mr.. UIl-
rich was well received. Mr.. Doll, as
guitarist stands unrivalled, and his
playing upon that instrument was su-
perb. His glass bells are new thing,
and like all novelties created consider
able wonder. The music made upon
them was very sweet. The bells are
