stock of new goods.
- Col. C. B. White, Revenue Assessor
for this district (6th), died at Georgetown
on Saturday night last.
- The Painesville Oake County, Ad-
vertiser, comes to us enlarged and i'm
proved. The Advertiser is always read by
us with interest, as it must be by its sui
scribers.
Our old friend, John T. Shryock, of
the GAINESVILLE Farmers and Merchants
Advocate, is a candidate for Senator for the
district composed of the counties of Mus
kingum and Perry.
We have heretofore neglected to say
that Mr.. Geo. Dahl, the nominee of the
Democratic Convention of this county, for
County Treasurer, has declined to be can
didate, and has Withdrawn his name from
the Democratic ticket
- George w. Monroe formerly of this
county, now of Sullivan county, Indiana,
sent US few mammoth ears of corn few
days since. One of them measured thir-
teen inches in length, and the others one
foot each-pretty good Hoosier corn.
A horse belonging to Mr.. Burnett
worth two hundred dollars, was killed, or
injured so he is worthless, on Saturday
l.
shoveled plow was attached, was running
with it, and the plow hit the other horse
and cut off the large cord in one of his
hind legs.
= Hearth and Home for this week has
the beginning of an original story by Ed
ward Eggleston-"The Hoosier School
Master,"-to be completed before the close
| of the year. 1t is illustrated, and is repre-
sented to be "a vivid and graphic picture
of ut-of-the-way life in one of the old
Western States"
Weston, the great walker, failed the
| second time at Cincinnati, to walk 113 miles
in twenty-four consecutive hours last
week. He did, however, walk 112 miles
in that time. We do not know that there
was any necessity for his over-taxing his
physical ability to perform a feat that
makes him nor anybody else the better.
= A great many people passed through
on the trains last week to Cincinnati to see
the great wonder of the world, the Cincin-
natl Industrial Exposition. The daily pa
pers say it will close for the season on Sat
urday next. 1t is designed now, we believe,
to make the Exposition permanent insti-
tuition of Cincinnati. Next year, it is said,
it WILDE very much enlarged.
= That link of the Pan Handle Railroad
between GAINESVILLE and Dresden, 18 miles
will be finished and ready for trains to run
over it in few days. It is expected that
regular freight and passenger trains will be
running over the road in week or two
We are not advised that there will be any
change in the running of trains or of b,,si-
ness in consequence of the completion of
that portion of the road at present, but pre-
sumo there will be before long.
= This is the last week of the grand ex-
: position of industries. On Friday of this
unveiIing to the public of the Tyler David
' son Fountain, which, in magnitude, and as
work of art is not surpassed by the foun-
tains of Europe. Doubtless, multitude
in the surrounding country would be glad
It to combine visit to the exposition with
the opportunity to witness the first exhi
}, bition and inaugural ceremonies of thii
great fountain.
+ = Hon. John Q. Smith, the Republican
candidate for Senator in this district, hai
. been spending the present week in thi
, county, calling on friends, and discussin,
the political issues of the day. As yet, MI
II Smith has no competitor. Perhaps, as tn
Democratic party in this county have tw,
i, candidates for Representative, and are anx
ious to get one of them off the track, b
the butting process, they might offer tn
3. vacant position on the Senatorial ticket t
our esteemed friend, VIM. Smith, who, W
repeat, is fair representative man of tn
sr Democratic party, even if brother Goul
does face on him, after recommending hi1
to the support of the Democratic party.
FRE.-Past midnight on Tuesday morn
ing last, our citizens were aroused fro1
= their beds by the cry of fire. The fir
G proved to be in the coal shed on the allie
in the rear Of M. Sager's tin and stove stor
iirr,, The boards of the shed had got to burnin
etle pretty rapidly, but the coal had not "
re- taken fire. There was some old dry shins
of les that had been taken from a shed ne;
ms 1s by, lying against the building, and the fiji
I'D I'D set in those shingles. 1t was undoubtedl
ed the work of some villain or villains VIII
rts wished to do some stealing while the pc,
% OF pie were at the fire. It was soon extil
Of guished, and the designs of the rasca
oII; frustrated. There was a number of ol
t is wooden sheds, wood piles and coal, su
ars 1ns rounding the shed that was set on fir
and if the fire had communicated to thes
:, with stiff wind, the whole square, er
bracing some of the best business hous
-bo in the town would have been endangere
if not consumed.
