A stranger, in visiting Canton, receives
q good impression of the place from tbs
moment he steps on the depot platform,
for nearly all her large manufacturing es-
adjustments, which have given the city
its reputation, have been erected along the
railroad track. The most noted of them
are the works of Messrs. c. Aultman &
Miller, E. Ball & Co., and C.. w. Russell,
but as our stay in the town was brief, we
were denied the pleasure of a personal Wis
1t to any of these celebrated establish
ments.
Ca ton has increased in population very
rapidly OF late years, and contains many
superb private residences, as We'll as COM
modIous business houses. On the corner
where stood a crazy old tavern, where we
took dinner IN passing through Canton
over 50 years ago, IS now erected
one OF the hnest bu-iness blocks to be
found in Ohio. Canton has a large and
very handsome Court. House, and a great
many very elegant churches, but the boast
OF the city Just now is her Water Works,
on the Holly system, which have but re-
Gently been put in operation. The water
IS procured. from Myers lake, q short dis
lance from the,city, and by the use of very
simple machinery, is forced through pipes

ness. "~Fire-plugs" having been placed at
The different stress corners, hose can be at

MASsILLON CORREsPONDENCE.

Messrs. Beatty & Atwater are slaugh-
tering any quantity of hogs at their slaugh-
tering establishment on the east side of the
city and are ready to pay cash for more.
The editor of the I dependent and one
of his correspondents are running a tilt on
the temperance question. All right if it.

drinking of whisky.
Hon. Joseph Thompson, who for severa
weeks has been suffering from severe in
disposition, has so far recovered as to be

Our neighbors at the triune villages of
Navarro, Bethlehem and Rochester had a

Speaking of the triune village, why
don't they get incorporated under the
name of Navarro as q village and estab-

the requisite number of inhabitants, and
they certainly can get a better hog pen"

Mr.. John Porter, Of the Aledo (m)
Record has been interviewing this section
of country. and makes the following re-
port as to Canton:
Canton was the next point of attraction.
l Sroached it with mingled feelings of
interest and curiosity. Thirty years ago
it was my home, and memory pictured it
in the sombre garb it then wore. 1t then
contained about three thousand inhabit-
ants, and seemed dead, beyond the hope OF
resurrection. What a changed Now it
Is by odds the l~iveliest city met in my fly
ing trip. 1t covers an area of more than
two miles square, built up close, and is
noted for its manufactures and enterprise.
1t has two large agricultural implement
manufactures, and various other manu-
factories. The product of these workshops
finds a market all over the northwest, and
forms a portion of the labor saving ma
chinery in daily use.
Canton is likewise noted for the SPLEEN
dor of its buildings. The new Court
House is the finest building of the kind 1
ever saw. 1t is large, provided with all
modern improvements, and fire proof
throughout. 1t cost 100000. In pala-
tial private residences Canton SURPRISES
everything before seen. The city is now
supplied with water from Myers lake, two
miles distant. 1t is lighted with gas, and
in schools, churches. and other civilizing
influences, is fully up to the standard Of
most advanced cities.
HereElso resides the Oldest editor in the
United States. He is over II years old,
and has published the Repository for SO
years. l found him at his case setting
nonpareil type-not with the swIftness of
former years, but still faster than some of
our young men. This remarkable man is
John Saxton. He is a little thinner, a
little more stopped, and his sunny locks
have turned to gray.
Before leaving Canton, 1 called upon A.
McGregor, of the Stark County Democrat.
He, too+has left his imprint upon the his
tory of the city having been editor of the
Democrat for twenty years. l found him
in his sanetum, surrounded by books and
papers, which he laid aside for an hours
converse of old times and departed friends.
Mr.. McGregor is a-ine, courteous gentle
tleman, a little wild on politics, but with
a warm heart in the right place, that new
eT allows politics to usurp the throne Of
friendship"

MR. EDIToR-An ~articlein last weeks

an ex Yoostis, and. very appropriately
signed "nicter.' attributes our Democrat
&c victory la whisky, Niger, &c. 1 per
celve our victory hurts exceedingly, and
the ex Yoostis don't like it a bit l well
remember the whisky demonstration Of
three years ago when the little yoostis was
elected. Then there was -extravagant re-
joicing in Greentown. Democrats IN Lake
do not make fools Of themselves in this
way. We bear defeat with becoming dig
nifty, and enjoy victory with moderation
and good sense. The foolish hurrah and
drunken, crazy rejoicing of the ex justice
and his friends three years ago, besides
their uncalled for personalities, have not
been forgotten. Those who go wild and
become crazy over victory are usually not
the persons to bear defeat with philosophy.
1t belongs to the radical party to be-
come crazy with power, utterly disregar-
ding the rights of others in their drunk
enness When Democracy is in power
they submit to the Constitution and the
laws, the same as they require all citizens
to do. We tolerate no favoritism before
the law, nor use the power of the govern
ment to enrich favorites and rob labor.

Burned 10 Death.

A child of MI. and Mrs. Andrew Carper,
near Hartville, in tits county, was burned
to death on Monday of. last week. It
seems the parents were from home, leaving
four or five children of different ages to
take care Of the house. During the day
the children were cooking potatoes and not
having as many as they desired, one of
them. a twin girl, 4 or 8 years old, took a
candle and went to the cellar for more.
shortly after her screams and shrieks were
heard and the other children rushing to her
assistance found her enveloped in flames.
They tore of her clothing as soon as posi-
bic, cutting off some with a butcher knife.
The child proved to be so terribly burned
that she died before night. This is anoth-
er sad warning to parents in caring for
their little ones.

Arurkey Case Before ESQUIRE s,nnke,


The turkey question is not confed to
Europe. 1t agitates some portions of this
country these times. On last Saturday
morning G. w. Huntington, residing on
Poplar street, discovered that his six tur-
keys, for Christmas and New Years, were
gone. From certain information obtained
through the vigilance ofnight policeman
Greek, Mr.. Huntington swore a war
ant and the premises of q brick saloon on
the corner Of Walnut and Tuscarawas
were searched and one of the missing tur-
keys found and very soon four others on
premises on Cherry street. Besides the
turkeys, Bill Peters, perfectly ''ornary,"
and John Watson, the saloon man, were
arrested. "Bilr' was found in the Gala
bose having got drunk on the money OBJ
tanned from rafting n of the turkeys,
won by Jones on north Plum street from
whom it was captured that day, thus re-
storing all the lost turkeys 10 Mr.. Hun
tington.
The turkey trial was interesting, Peters
acknowledged that he was the coon that
stole the turkeys" and Watson plead gull
ty of beng the receiver. Squire Slanker
bound Peters rel to court, and failing to
get bail he occupies quarters in jail. Mr..
Watson plead guilty and paid his fine, $40
and costs, in all $23-dear turkeys for
Watson. Let it be q warning to all who
are inclined TO turkey in this way.
