The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1871-01-05
MAssILLON CORmEsPONDENCE.

Items are scarce enough at best, but If
| the Massillon Department of the Democrat
is unusually barren this week, it may be
attributed in part to the absence of the
Correspondent at Cleveland, and by the
way Cleveland is a place worthy of remark
Judging from its outings on New Years
day which was Monday. The day was
given up to amusements of all kinds, the
Academy of Music was filed to over flow
ing, John B. Cough lectured inLCase Hall
and the billiard tables had no rest. The
business houses generally were closed.
Every body was glad to see every body
and every body exchanged the compliments
of the season with every body so far as
every body could come in contact with
every body.
On THE STREET.-THE wind blew as
'twad blawn its last" hats and walls were
blown about to the amusement of the look
ers on and the great disgust of those who
had to run after their property that the
wind unceremoniously captured. The lake
contributed its share of interest, although
it vas the sport and plaything of the gale
it showed that it, too, could defy all who
might dare to try its pillows. Tuesday
morning was made sad by the intelligence
of the death OF Anna, second daughter If
Hon. C.. T. Sherman, .. S. District Judge.
Seldom have. the synpathies. of a COM
munity been called into such active
exercise as when it was announced that
Miss Sherman was dead. She was aged
twenty, and although not-"sole daughter
of the house and hearts" of her parents
Gle never to be filled. The u s. District
Court and also the Circuit Court are ad-
Journed for one week.
The Rev. DIR. Eels Will lecture. without
fail, at the Presbyterian church, n Tues
day evening next.
SETTLED.-The city Solicitor, on the
18th ult., notified the city Treasurer that
the action of the City of Massillon against
John r. Dangler. Treasurer ct al, would
not be further prosecuted and that he, the
Treasurer might regard the injunction dis
solved. The Treasurer will now pay the
order drawn by the Clerk last May for
$500 and thus ends a crooked law suit.
AccIDENT.-On Wednesday evening as
Hannah Kalehn, a German woman who
does not seem to be known by any one in
this city, was crossing the canal on the
foot bridge she fell at the east end and
broke a leg. When we saw her she gave
unmlstakable evidence of being drunk and
we learned that a bottle of whisky was
found IN her pocket. We learn that the
injury was a compound fracture.
Mr.. N. Sibila last week butchered two
hogs about 4 year old weighing 1035
pounds dressed.
REPLEvIN FOR DoGs.-Mayor Warner
has a novel action in replevin for trial to-
day, Thursday. The case is Crooks against
Arnold or London we do not know which,
,oE L,,,,s- -oor AZ. ,ooN,l IT,. LK4z1.
in dispute are a female of the canine per-
suasion and eve pups. Whoever the
defendant is, he claims by prescription and
as the puppies were born on his premises
he insists that if the plaintiff establish his
right to the mother it does not give him
any claim to the litter. Wait until the
Mayor gets a chance to settle such knotty
questions.
The Crisplns had little fun on Wednes-
day. We were of the opinion that they
had mistaken the day and thought it bkue
Monday. They had a right gay time all
to themselves.
New Years day was fully and quietly
observed on Monday. Saturday night,
however, got pretty well powder burned
which continued until ten O'Clock in the
morning of Sunday.
MATRIMONIAL Peter Morganthaler,
another one of our bachelors, is gone,
gone to that sphere in life where loneliness
troubles not.-Yes, Pete has gone, gone to
Chicago,-to be married-left the associ-
atoms of his earlier days, to assume those
responsibilities of maturer years. Many,
many are the friends that will mourn for
him,-but we extend the hand of friend
ship and good will, and know that he has
gone, gone
To bliss beyond all that the minstrel has tsld,

dom a short time.
That game of poker down on Erie street
q night or two since, got some Of the
parties, eyes dressed in deep mourning.
1t might possibly be as well to let the
game of draw alone, sometimes 1T draws
a little too hard.

bic means of support having determined
to have a glass of whisky scot free" out
