Death Of an Old Resident.

Mr.. John Uhl, sr., an aged man of
some 81 years, died at the residence of
his son, Mr.. Geo. ". Uhl. Mr.. Uhl had
been sick for a long time. and had not
been in town for several years. He was
one of the first settlers in this county
He was honorable and upright in all his
dealings, and was much respected by all
who knew him.
In passing through the northern part
of the county one day last week we no.
ticed that the prospect for good crops
was highly flattering. Since the rain
everything looks much brighter and all
vegetation is growing rapidly.

The Cleveland, Wooster g. Marietta
Railroad.
been as follows

From parties who know whereof they
speak, we learn that the above road is
sure to be built. From Seville to Cleve-
land the building of the road is a fact,
and it now remains for our citizens to
say whether it shall strike Wooster, or
go east of us. We cannot afford to let
this opportunity pass unnoticed, and
speedy, determined action is necessary
in order to secure the advantages of this
north and south road. An election of
new officers of the Cleveland, Wooster
& GAINESVILLE Railroad is announced, and
by consolidating the interests of these
two lines into one, it renders the speedy
construction of the road almost sure.
The prospect for another railroad was
never better than at the present, and we
hope the gentlemen who have the mat
ter in hand will not relax their efforts
until the building of the road through
Wooster is placed beyond all doubt. The
meeting held here on the 10th inst,
struck the key note to this line, and
will, we believe, ultimately lead to its
establishment.-Wooster Republican.

The Wrong Man.

Mr.. Hitchcock the unsuccessful can
didate for Representative in this county,
evidently got hold of the wrong man
last week. Mr.. II. started for the house
of Mr.. Mckee, whose acquaintance he
had never made, and meeting gentle
man who he supposed TO be Mr.. Mckee
commenced electioneering-shOwing up
Mr.. Stilwell as a very bad, incompetent
man, not fit for the place. After Mr.
II. concluded his speech he was informed
that he had been addressing brother of
his competitor, Mr.. Stilwell, who in
turn denounced Mr.. III. as falsifier, &c

Lightning Rods.

Messrs. Beegle d Uhl are agents for
the Cleveland Copper Tube Lightning
Rod Company and are doing thriving
business. They run one of the finest
wagons ever sent out by any company
We consider these Lightning rods far
superior to all others and would recon-
mend all who intend investing in light
ming rods to patronize these parties.
They are gentlemen who will do the
right thing with you always. Every
building that is worth anything at all
should have lightning rods.

Information Wanted.

About twenty years ago, Mr.. Nor
riss Burris, baker by trade, took my
son, then an infant, TO raise. A few
years afterward Burris left Delphos, and
all efforts on my part to find his where
abouts. or learn anything of my son has
proved fruitless. Papers willing to do
kindness to an afflicted family will
confer favor by noticing the above. 1t
is our hope that the notice may reach
the eye of some one who can give in
formation. Address George Long, Ma

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 faulty should be
