that it is subject of remark by
strangers passing through or visiting
the place. The Common Council
have not only ordered sidewalks and
crossings put down in the main parts
OF the town, but have passed very
efficient ordinance in regard to the
care and protection OF property from

TOLEDO ALL RIGHT!
13e AE.AJoRITY

N The result Of last Fridays work is
gwen above. The vote stood, "Tax-
atioI" 1S9, mo Taxation" 81. The
majority is larger than was reasona.
bly, anticipated, the greater part OF
the opposition had changed into apa-
thy, or been converted into friendli-
ness, before the day Of election. A
few old wheel horses of opposition to
oil progress and improvement kept
up . constant fight but the effort was
SO decidedly weak and contemptuous
as TO gain friends for the tax. A
number Of no-tax men, forecasting
the end, did not vote at all.
In the evening, after the announce
msnt OF the vote. the cannon was
brought out, and sort Of Fourth ct
July jubilee held.
Thus the road is secured to Tole-
do. and the efforts Of the progressive
men OF the town crowned with sue
cess.

Slight Encouragement.
After the success of the tight-rope
man last week, in interesting our
citizens by slight display of intel
lectual muscle and lofty tumbhng,
there is surely reason to hope that the
fallen tree of literary taste will
sprout again among us. 1t this sue
cess can be followed up by some
thing As well patronized and little
more rational. there will b, less
cause for complaint against the scan
ty patronage Of literature SO visable
in our community. And inst here,
it is gatitying to learn from the Rs.
PUBLICAN that the Lecture Associa.
ton Of the town is to meet soon,-s
fact which, we hope, ausurs future
treats in the way Of scientific and
literary entertainments. May the
lectures receive as enthusiastic q
welcome as that which greeted the
wooden headed acrobats!"
It is incredible that the Court
House should be packed far beyond
its seating capacity on an occasion
such as that OF last week, and that a
course Of lectures should go begging.
Or must people, to be pleased, first
have their intelligence insulted by a
display of wooden donkey, miserable
failure at making and music no
better than the streets affords daily !

PUNGENT.-The REPUBLICAN don't
like puns, and lovingly censures us
for INDUCING IN them, and from tear
that his censure would not be sufi-
GENTLY potential, quotes Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, who is very severe
against those guilty OF that sort OF
assassination. We have read many
things from Holmes that we admire
much, aud heard many in lectures.
but we never had any respect at all
for what he wrote, or said on pun
nlng. In his estimation it was the
lowest kind of wit, but in ours it is
the reverse almost.
Our good brother of the REPuBLr-
CAN, may be incapable of approaching
a wittieism, or lac may lack the abili
ty to perpetrate pun, and SO like the
fox IN the table, he cries out, ''sour
grapes" Now, brother True, don't
waste any words IN your rejoinder,
tor we make no claim to being wit,
but We do enjoy pun whether from
friend or foe. He who habitually
murders the English language does
that which is wrong, for his example
Is followed, TO greater or less extent.
Our schools are Tor the purpose of
teaching the young, that their minds
may be developed, and that they may
write and speak the English language
with pr,priety, and yet many men
and women continually use language
improperly. and their children natur-
ally follow their example. But pun
produces no evil effect whatever
only good, tor it makes people laugh.

True and Holmes, are hencetorth to
be the standard, what are We to do

ems sparkle with runs? With John G.
