A DIRTY FL1NG.-The LoudonvilIe
Independent makes a dirty fling at the
Grand Jury OF this county this week.
1t says:
SIN Ashland county they manage
more economically, and hope to save
the expense of so many witnesses by
putting the liquor dealers and drunk
ards on the Grand Jury"
The author of the foregoing stuff,
is a deliberate and willful calumniator,
and can be safely set down as a mali
cious fal,ifer. 1t is rare that so good a
Grand Jury has been selected to in
quire after the peace and order of So
ciety. So far as Intelligence, sobriety
and uprightuess are concerned, the
members of that Jury are above CEN
sure or r~eproach.

BARN BURNED,-On Wednesday
night last, the barn of Mr.. John
Campbell, of Troy Township in this
county, was burned by an incendiary,
with two fine mares, harness, buggy,

hay, in all, valued at about one thou
sand dollars ; no insurance It is sup
posed that the barn was set on fire by
a negro who was sen lettering about
the neighborhood for some days, and
who appeared at the fire. He was in
vited to leave suddenly, or take a dose
of free rope. He sbped very willing
ly, and thereby escaped the vengeance
of the people.

Those who heard Prof. Jeffers' i-Ob-
servations in Greece" in Town Hall, on
Tuesday evening, enjoyed rich intel
lectual feast. Had we time, we should
like to follow him throughout his en-
tire lecture, and portray to our readers
some idea of the interest manifested in
in his description of the Geography of
that old classic country, the manners
and customs of the people, both in the
rural districts and in the cities. From
his description of these rural districts,
We should not fancy to take up our
abode in their midst. His description of
Athens was very interesting, but the
Athens of to-day is not the Athens of
old, with the exception of some of the
ruins of that ancient city. The Temple
of Theseus is still standing, which was
built four centuries before the Christian
Era. Sixteen columns, fifty-five feet in
height and six in diameter, of marble,
still stand to show where once stood the
Temple of Olympian Jupiter. His de-
scription of the Acropolis was fine, as
was also that of the Temple Of Minerva,
Mars Hill, the Parthenon, and many
other places of ancient renown. The
glory of Greece has departed. All that
was good of her has been preserved, but
these temples which were only monu-
ments to heather worship, have per-
ished.
"'Tis Greece, but living Greece no more"
Prof. Jeffers is very pleasant speak
er, graceful in his delivery, distinct in
his utterance and eloquent in language.

Nearly all young people of both sexes,
who can spare the time, have taken to
skating as diversion. The passion for
it prevails now as extensively in the
winter as the rage for base ball does in
all other seasons. 1t is graceful and
fascinating amusement, and when mod
erately indulged in must be healthful
and invigorating. But it is rather too
fascinating. When the young girl who
has just learned to skate, or is yet learn
ing, gets the cleaning steel blades I'M
der her feet, she rarely feels disposed to
take them off until she is utterly tired
out, or the shades of night overtake her
on the ice. By giving way to this de-
sire to continue skating long after a
proper and prudent enjoyment of the
exercise has elapsed, great deal of harm
is done. The skates, if not carefully
strapped, soon check the healthy circu-
lation of the blood. The feet are chilled
by contact with the metal of the skates,
which is in contact with the ice, and
soon get benumbed. All this time, the
body being in active motion, the circu-
lation is quickened everywhere except,
in the feet and ankles. This, it will be
seen,reverses one of the cardinal max
inns of health, viz: to keep the feet
,odrm and the head cool. Young men
and young girls in vigorous health can
stand this for an hour or so without
much harm, but four, three, or even two
hours of the sport under such conditions
is certain to do damage, sooner or later.
During the last skating season we heard
of more than one case of death traced
directly to such imprudence, and of
quite a number of cases of serious i'll
ness. There is another matter that these
unwise young skaters should be warned
about. Used to their lUdrn, palatable,
and regular meals at home, they go to
the skating ground, let the hour for
meals go by, satisfy themselves with q
~" Soiu s"oc1 e"hes, VI heuuentiy
nothing at all, when the animal forces
need more than usual, and so derange
the whole digestive system. This ag-
gravates the damage done by the pro-
longed and unusual exercise. In every
way this excessive indulgence works
harm. Parents, guardians and all per-
sons of mature age should therefore i'm
press 1t upon young persons to take II
! meastatsly.

A Pleasant Party.

On Tuesday evening last some of the
young people of Millersburg attended
another neck-tie party, which proved to
be a pleasant and festive affair to all who
were present. The party met at the res
idence of Louis Mayors, where part OF
the evening was very agreeably spent.
About half past nine the drawing OF
neek-ties commenced, which by the way
is one of the interesting features OF
such parties, and Immediately each gen.
tleman was seen seeking out his lady.
About half past ten the party repaired
TO the boarding house of Mrs. Weitman
where a splendid supper had been pre-
pared. After participating in the rich
repast, lively time followed, in which
all took an active part. The party dis
persed at a fashionable hour well salts
asd with the evenings entertainments.

TOWNSVILLE, Jan. 7th, II.


MEssRs. EDITORS The barn of Mar
tin Wells, situated one-half mile south
of Shreve, took fire about one or two
o'clock Thursday morning and burned
to the ground. Everything was con-
sumed except his two horses, which were
saved. The barn was insured in the
Ohio Farmers Co., for $500. How the
fire originated, is not known.
The Loudonville natural curiosity is
not what it has been reported to be. The
stream is as large as was reported, but
rs for house sinking, there is nothing
of it. There is no house within mile
and half of the place. And as for its
being on the outskirts of the town, one
would naturally conclude ths Loudon-
ville's skirts are very long, as this spring
is fully three miles east of the town. 1t
is also about twenty-five rods north of
the P. Fl. W. & c. r. R., on the Lake
Fork. The ground has sunk about one
foot for distance of six feet, caused by
the quicksand running out. That is all
the sinking there is about it. Any body
wishing to ascertain the true situation,
had better go and see for himself.

Sad Accident.

The following we clip from the Ash
land Times: A sad and distressing ac-
cident befalls former resident of Mil
ton township, this county. The dwell
ling of Emanuel Heltman, in Allegheny
county, Michigan, was burned on Satur-
day week, three of his children perish
ing In the fire, and the wife and two
other children being rescued through a
awindow with their night clothes most
ly burned off. The father covered them
with hay in the barn and then rode a
mile in the cold, absolutely naked, to in
form the neighbors and obtain assist
ance when he fell senseless. He lies in
a critical condition, partly frozen and
partly roasted. Mr.. Heltman is the
brother of W. G. Heltnan of this place
and his wife the second daughter of Asa
Fairchild, formerly of Ashland.

evening. The entire cargo was direct
from China Uia San Francisco and the
Union Pacific Railway. 1t was billed
through to New York, whence, think,
it will be transferred to steamer for
Europe. What a vast change in the
route of transportation. Who would
have dared to predict, few years ago,
that goods shipped from China to Lon
don would be rushed through the State
of Ohio as the shortest way.? More

Calling the Roll.

Much time is often consumed in
school in calling the roll. The practice
has long existed of calling each schol-
ar's name once or twice each day, and
the answer "present" or ''here" is ex-
pected of all in the room. A better
method is to assign each scholar num-
Der. At given signal, scholar No. l
will call "one;" the next, "two,
calling his own number until the last. If
a scholar is absent, the teacher will call
his number in order, and note the abb
sence. Thus the roll of sixty scholars
can be counted. If any scholar should
call the number of the absent one, the
ear of the teacher would easily detect it.

The FireSide.

Pleasant is the breakfast hour, and
cheerful is the meeting when, refreshed
by peaceful slumber, the different mem
bers of a family assemble round the ia
BILE to take their morning repast. At
other meals the family may be divided,
but, generally, here all are assembled.
The busy cares, the hurried turmoils of
the day, have not disturbed the spirit !;
all is peace, cheerfulness and joy. But
pleasant as the breakfast table is, there
is another point of attraction still more
so. Cheerful as the breakfast group may
be, there is another group more inter-
esting. The point of attraction is the
fireside, and the group the beings that
gather round it. The fireside! Where
is there a spirit that does not glow at
the very name? Where is there spirit
that does not spring forward to join the
fireside party? At the breakfast table,
when the sun is mounting the skies, the
table bounteously spread, and the cup
running over, with health in the cheek
and animation in the eye, there ought to
be warm gush of grateful emotion to
the giver of all good; but still warm
er gush will be required suitably to ac-
knowledge the more delightful enjoy
ment of domestic fireside. Whatever
may have been your occupation or your
cares, however tried with disappoint-
ments, and ruffied with unexpected evils,
it is all over now tor the day at least.
The sun has gone down, the shadows of
night prevail. The winds are blowing
without, but the fire is sparkling within.
The shutters are closed, the curtains are
drawn; there is yet an hour that may
be passed peacefully and pleasantly, let
it be passed at the fireside. In the days
of our boyhood, often have we sat by
the fireside, with half dozen rosy-faced
companions. We had our books; played
at the games in which young people
delight; roasted our apples; told long
stories; and laughed till the room rang
again; for our hearts were as light as
though there was no such thing as care
in the world. The future hour and the
future year were always bright-we
feared nothing, and hoped everything
for we knew, or thought we knew, that
as we grew older we should be happier.
The fireside is chartered spot endeared
by thousand affectionate recollections.
