The Masonic Excursion.

On Friday last the Nasons Of Akron
accompanied by Marbles Band. made
an excursion TO our town which was
enjoyed very much by our citizens.
They came on a special rrain, chartered
for the occasion. and. arrived here be-
tween four and five O'Clock, and were
met at the depot by the Millersburg
Band, the Masons efFourstowR and a
large number of eur Aeitizens. and were
escorted to their headquarters, the Ma
sons to Masonic Hall, and the Band to
Town Hall. After a few minutes rest
the Band was formed in procession with
the Millersburg Band and marched off
to serenade different citizens of our
town, many Sof whom invited them IN
TO partake OF Refreshments. About six
O'Clock the Masonic Fraternity were
seryed with a supper at the Empire
House. consisting of cold meats, &C.,
with tea, coffee, ice cream and straw
berries. At eight o'clock all hands re-
paired to Town Hall where bountilul
supper was spread Of which nearly rso
hundred persons partook. The Han was
beautifully decorated with evergreens,
&C., i'm honor of the occasion. The
Akron Beacon in giving an account OF
the entertainment pays a high compli-
ment TO the beauty of our ladies. 1t says ::
/" The walters upon the supper table
were mostly young ladies and many
were called to remark upon the beauty
of the bevy. There is hardly town
in Northern Ohio which can boast so
many really beautiful young ladies"
After the supper serenading was again
the order of the evening. Quite num-
of our citizens were honored with a call
and every one seemed highly pleased.
The serenading lasted until two o'clock,
when the train left for Akron. Every
thing passed off pleasantly, and every
body seemed to enjoy the occasion very
much. We are sorry, however, that
those persons who would have enjoyed
dance in the Hall after the perform
ances were over, should object to the
course pursued by our committee in re-
fusing to allow ball to be held in the
Hall. If they will but remember that
it was the express understanding with
many of those who assisted in getting
up the entertainment, that there would
be no ball in connection with it, they
would perhaps not think ita ''queer way
to entertain guests
And now one word as to- the Band.
We have already, on two occasions, ex-
pressed our opinion as to the excellency
of their music. Our people have now
heard them for themselves. and are their
own judges. The unanimous testimony
is, that they excel in quality of tone,
time and expression. We hope they
may give us another call at no distant

A Beautiful Incident.

On last Sunday morning, the children
connected with the Male Infant Depart
ment of the NJ. E. Sabbath School,
about thirty in number, came to the
school, each one having oranges, flow
ers or some such thing, and having OBJ
tained permission of their teacher, went
in body to the house of little boy in
the neighborhood, who has been sick fol
a couple of years, and literally strewet
his bed with roses, oranges, sweetmeats
&c. The idea was original, as no mem
Der of the school knew of their inten

The Very Best.

The question is often asked why the
Howe Sewing Machine is the best. The
answer is, simply because it does every
thing in the sewing line with such per-
feet satisfaction. Every one who has
used Howe Machine pronounces it the
most complete. Its work speaks for it
self. No other machine has such unan-
imous testimony in its behalf. Every
body praises it, and no family should be
without it. If you wish No. ma
chine then, in every respect, buy a
"Howe'' of Menuez & Rood, agents for
Wayne, Holmes, Stark and Summit
counties; or of Mrs. Robert Cameron,
agent at Millersburg. For particulars,
enquire at l.. Mayors store. 31tf.

ACCIDENTS IN WEST WARREN.-MrS, VIM.
B. Ramsdell of this village fell in a faintiug fit
Yesterday morning, as she was approaching a
window of her residence, causing her to fall
through the window and cut her neck badly
with the glass. Drs Carpenter and Hastings
were Immediately called, and after removing
several pieces of glass from the wounds, bound
them up, and as none of the great arteries were
severed it is thought she will recover, although
she bled profusely for some time. At last ac-
counts she was improving.
During the session of the cheese convention
in the new chapel OF the Congregational society,
one Of the chandeliers suspended from a sup
porter attached to the upper casing of onel of
the window frames, fell, hitting Mr.. Ross up
on the head near his eye, and shattering the
lamp into thousand fragments upon the floor.
DR.. Hastings dressed the wound, which is not
serious, but the matter would have been a very
serious one If the chandelier he'd fallen in the
evening" as it might as likely have done, while
lighted with kerosene. A social gathering was
to be held there last evening, of members Of the
church. 1t was found that the casing TO which
the supporter was attached had not been nailed
up, but only lightly tackled. The matter may
be considered proyid,ntial escape from sad
fatality which might have resulted at an eve
hing entertainment.

SUBSIDY BILLS.
Though the senate has agreed to one or two

BROOKLYN NAVY YARD,
The Brooklyn navy yard bill will come up in
the house when there is morning hour again,
which will probably be tomorrow. 1t is be.
lieved that compromise will be agreed upon,
by which a commission will be appointed by
the president to inquire into the eXpediency of
the sale of the Brooklyn yard, and, in case of
sale and removal, to inquire into the relative
merits of sites for new yard, and to report TO
the next congress.
THE RIGHT TO VOTE.
The house debate on the bill amending the act
to enforce the right to vote in the states called
out an unusual volume of democratic thunder
Mr.. Kerr made the estspeech against the bill,
but it was uphill work, even with him, The
simple statement, on the republican side, that
the sole object of the bill is to prevent violence
and fraud at the POLLS could not be denied
There is no certainty that the bill can be got
through the senate, the time Is so short, but Mr.
Conkling will make the attempt.
BLAIR.
Senator Frank Blairs speech in the senate, in
reply to Mr.. Morton, created some excitement
Ii was bold and extreme, and indicated very
clearly what the democratice party intends to
do, if it obtains power. From the severe ep-
thets applied by Mr. Blair to most of the states
which adoped the constitutional amendments,
1t was thought that he held the amendments
not to be valid, and, with this view, Mr.. Morton
asked him squarey whether he held the said
amendments to be part of the constitution.
Mr.. Blair admitted that ne did, but he said that
president, with his views, could relieve the
south from many of the ills resulting from the
reconstruction laws. The democratic senators
evidently didn't enjoy Mr.. Blair's extreme ut
terances.

OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 15,--The governor-gen-

hoped the reference of tue fishery and other

of her own people fairly and firmly.
