SERENADE. = We were reused from our
slumbers on Monday night by the sound of
most delicious music. Softly we rose and
peerine out from behind the window curtain
discerned band of young meu standing on
the sidewalks in front of our window bestow-
ing upon us the compliments of a serenade.
Gently raising the sash so that not a note
might be lost, we listened entrancel to the
sweet sounds. The night was warm, the sky
black with clouds, the air close and burdened
with the perfumes of the cherry blossoms and
as the exquisitely modulated voices blending
together So perfectly in those charming Ger
man four-part songs broke upon the stiffness
peculiar to the hour it seemed as if we were
listening to celestial music. How perfect the
time, how sivery the tenor, how full and rich
the base. Eow the ear was strained to catch
those dying cadences that still seemed to lin
ger long after the song was ended. How well
managed were the crescendoes and diminuen-
does.
To the members of the club We would ten
der our hearty thanks for the pleasure they
gave us than which nothing could have been
more acceptable, and trust that the glorious
summer night, so soon expected, will resound
often with their warblings. We hear that
serenades were rendered by the club or the
same night to Mr.. and Mrs. bennett, Mrs.
Burnham, Mrs. Charles J. Barbour, Mrs. Wa
.erhouse, Mr. George w. Marston and others.

abundance of money on hand for working

The line is to be put in complete order and
equipped with engines and merchandise cars

The credit of the company is fully estab

THE USIvERsITY.-On the LIST
page Of this paper will be found a
communication, in regard to Bap-
list State University, to which we
would respectfully call the attention
of all our readers who feel an interest
in Education. We suppose it must
be admitted that, if this University
can be secured to Marion County at
all, it will be at Pella, for reasons
not necessary to enumerate. 1t is
therefore a matter Of interest to us
all that it should be brought to our
County If possible. Better at one
side OF the County than farther
away. Let US ut least do the best
we can.

PAINFUL AcCIDENTs.-A boy IL
years Of age, son of Mr.. VIM. Pruitt,
OF Clay 1p.. 4 miles east of Attica,
was accidentally shot, on the lst inst,
by a revolver in the hands Of his
brother. The revolver was loaded
only with powder and a tow wad.
The boys right cheek was nearly all
torn away, and the bones laid bare.
The wound is a very serious one, but
probably no. fatal. Had the revolver
been loaded with ball the boy must
have inevitably been killed.
A boy OF ten years, son of Mr.. Glad
stone, OF Clay Tp., 3miles from Belle
fontaine, was kicked by mule, on
the ID inst, and his ankle dislocated
and the bone fractured above it. He
Il now doing well.
We are indebted to DR.. Scott, Of
Bellefontaine, for these particulars.

dies. Can any one tell the cause OF

QUEER CAsE.-SOme two weeks
ago, as we are informed, Mr.. James
Wolfe, of Pleasantville, sent three
or four wagons to Pella for lumber
for his new building, and sent the
money with them by young man
named George Dearduff. George
sent back the lumber all right for all
but $50 Of the money-and with that
amount he disappeared, and has not
been heard OF since. This is the
statementas we have it from a friend.
Dearduf is young man, with no
family; had lived in Pleasantville
for number of years, and had al
ways been considered honest, prompt
pay, and reliable. His friends hard
ly know what to think Of his disap-
pearance.

Colony there in the most furnishing
condition.
The hail-storm at Pella last Sum
day was very violent, smashed num-

gardens and fruit trees considerably.
Some of the hailstones were as large
as walnuts.
And we may add that we put in a
half hour or so at the Blade Office
last Saturday, and found things NOV

No RELIEF.-Senator Campbell of
Jasper County has informed the
Republican that Gov. Merrill vetoed
the bill for the relief of Jasper Coun-
ty for moneys stolen from the County
safe, and that other bills of a similar
character were also vetoed after the
adjournment Of the Legislature. Up
on seeing the statement we immedi-
ately searched through the Laws
passed and approved for the last
session, and can find nothing for the
relief of our County. Must therefore
conclude that the bill was vetoed,
after passing both Houses by good
majorities. If we had the privilege,
we would certainly like to inquire
the weighty and overwhelming
reasons which influenced the Gov
ernor to withhold his approval.

XENIA, O., May 26, 20.
ED. VoTER:-I will dot you few
items, which may interest your read
ers to some extent. This part of
Ohio is rather hard-looking. Soil is
poor, billy and rocky. The crops of
the present season are looking rather
puny. Corn doing no good, owing
to the very dry weather. No rain of
consequence since crop-time began.
The cutworm is also doing good
deal of damage to the corn crop.
Some farmers have to replant whole
fields. Farmers tell me that oats are
about done for, and barley also. The
wheat is looking bad; meadows short,
and the grass thin; and taking every
thing into consideration, we think
the farmers of this locality have a
gloomy prospect for crop. il.
